Freeman Beauty Renewing Cucumber Peel Off Face Mask

Hey guys! Today I’m going to tell you about Freeman Beauty’s renewing cucumber peel off face mask. I have to say that this is my all favorite drugstore face mask. I have been using it for a couple of years now.

They come in little packets like this one of a tube that has 6 fl oz. I wasn’t able to find the tube sadly they sold out. But I will be on the lookout.  I also would like to branch out and try out the other masks they have especially the new ones.

A little goes a long way and it doesn’t have to be on as thick. What it’ll do is harden over a period of time, I want to say 10-15 mins but depending on how much you put on it can be longer. I have it on in the picture which is why my face looks very shiny. After it hardens all you have to do is peel it off.

What I like most about this mask is that it takes off whatever is left on your skin. You may think you took off all of your makeup and you’d use this mask and realize that you didn’t. It’s really nice to use once or twice a week because the dead skin and everything else comes off with it.

You can notice the makeup, dead skin, and a few other things that this mask took off once I peeled it off. I’m in love with it and I really hope you guys decide to try it out soon, if you haven’t already that is. Comment down below whether you want to try it out( or not) or if you have tried it.

October Favorites In Books and Beauty

I don’t remember when the last time I did a monthly favorites post, and I really want to start to get it out there. So I want to set aside a certain day during each month and talk about my favorites of the month. Some of these I already wrote blog posts about so this isn’t going to be extremely long and I’ll leave the previous blog posts next to the products that I’m talking about.

#1 Biore Deep Pore Cleanser- My Skin Care Routine 

I talked about this before but I never really went into full detail. I didn’t really like this product at first but lately I’ve been enjoying this product especially before I use lalafox face mask. I feel like this product really has been getting into my pores and I like the fresh feeling it gives me once I wash it off. It feels very minty and a good wake up for my skin. When I pair this with my charcoal mask I feel like my skin is very clean and becoming clear.

#2 Sarah Dessen’s Keeping The Moon – Favorite quotes from the book

I love this book because it made me think about certain friendships that I have going on my life as well as figuring out how friendships should be. There’s not really much else to say but to check out my full on feelings in the blog post linked.

#3 Claire’s Voluminous Natural False Lashes – First time using False Lashes

Ever since I tried and wrote about the first time I used false lashes I have been obsessed with using them. I really like the way they make my eye lashes feel and look since I’m not really that great with eyeshadow just yet, I feel like when I use the false lashes it makes my eyes pop in their own way. While I used dramatic lashes in that post, I’ve been using the more natural look lashes. But I always felt like there was something missing, until I tried Claire’s voluminous natural false lashes, it has the perfect amount of volume to make a noticeable difference to my eye lashes. Not to mention they aren’t that annoying.

#4 Rupi Kaur’s Milk And Honey  –  The Hurting , The Loving , The Breaking , The Healing. 

Once again listed above I went into full detail on what I liked about each part of Milk and Honey. I enjoyed this book so much it inspired me to open up about certain relationships that I have been in and what I took away from those said relationships. Those 2 posts are coming out very soon, I’m hoping to have at least one out by Thursday.

#5 LALAFOX Charcoal Face Mask – Trying LALAFOX 

I feel bad that most of my favorites are things that I have mentioned before, but these are what I have been reading and enjoying this whole month so far. Next month I’m sure I’d have a lot more because I have some things on the way that I am very excited about to say the least. But I’m going to sound like a broken record and say that I absolutely love lalafox’s charcoal face mask, it just feels so good and it’s easy to use which is a major plus.

Well there you have it guys, those are my favorites for October. Leave a comment below telling me what your October favorites are or if you have tried any of my October favorites. I’d love to see what you guys are using!

 

Rating LALAFOX Face Masks

Hey guys! Today I’m going to talk to you guys about these new face masks that I seen at Wal-Mart recently. LALAFOX is a brand that focuses on bringing everyone the quality of Korean made beauty products. I have heard beauty gurus as well as other people mention how good they believe Korean beauty products are. So I wanted to give it a try, so when I seen these products at Wal-Mart I jumped on the opportunity.

They came in this gray Ziploc type package with the brand and what it is written in white over it. This package came with 9 total face masks and what they do and what is featured is pictured on the right although I will get more into them as I go on. They give you a bonus one which I got charcoal, I’m not sure if it’s different in every package I hope it is cause that would be pretty cool.

So for starters I went ahead and tried charcoal since I was going to do charcoal, pearl, milk, and honey. So that way once I reached the end of the 8 I was starting off with charcoal all over again.

Charcoal is meant for pore care. On the back of the packages in mentions cleansing the face first and using a toner before applying the mask. But I didn’t do that, so maybe next time I’ll use them and see if anything changes. This mask is made with charcoal powder and is meant to remove toxins and keep the skin deeply hydrated. To say these masks are very saturated would be an understatement. It didn’t help that the mask was bigger than my face so I struggled to put it on without getting it in my hair which was completely impossible. But all of that aside it says to apply the masks for 10-20 minutes so I went the full on 20 minutes just to see the difference after my 20 minutes was up and my face was still very saturated with the products it says to gently pat the remaining product into your skin so I did just that. I have to say after it was fully absorbed my face felt very soft and very clean and this ended up being my favorite out of all of them, my face didn’t look shiny or anything.

Overall Rating: 5/5

This has the same instructions as the rest of them. However I once again didn’t cleanse and tone my face. Pearl is meant for moisturizing.This mask is made with pearl extract and it’s meant to revitalize the skin leaving it luminous and gorgeous as it says on the back. Once again the mask was absolutely saturated which at this point I’m not sure if it’s considered a good thing or a bad thing. I like that they make sure the product is on there but I feel like there was a bit to much on them. After I struggled getting the mask on my face ( which isn’t their fault, I actually applaud their face mask sizing) I left it on for 20 minutes once again and once I took it off I gently pat the remaining serum onto my face so it can fully absorb. I wasn’t a fan of the end results, it seemed like my face looked oily up until I went and washed my face off with water and pat it dry with the baby wash cloth. After that my skin looked and felt amazing, so it wasn’t all that bad.

Overall Rating 3/5

I feel like I don’t need to say that this one has the same instructions but most people like to know cause sometimes things change with every mask. Milk is for moisturizing as well just like the pearl. But this mask has milk protein essence and is meant to replenish, condition, and hydrate the skin. Once again the mask is very saturated but this one sort of felt thicker than the rest which I automatically wasn’t a fan of. This is one I kind of wanted there to be less product cause the mask would not stay on my face cause it was very hard to make sure that it stayed due to how thick the serum was. I only kept this one on for 10 minutes only cause the struggle was real. I didn’t even bother to gently pat the remaining serum onto my face because things were just getting way to messy so I just ended up washing my face. I didn’t really see a difference in my skin after this one, it was pretty much the same as the pearl one. But this one was definitely my least favorite mask out of the 4 of them.

Overall Rating 1/5

Honey is meant for nourishing. This mask also states to cleanse and use a toner before using the mask, which of course I did not cause I wanted to see how these masks worked without it. I have another round of these so maybe I’ll try with the cleansing and toning and see if my ratings on these changed any. This mask is made with honey extract and provides elasticity leaving the skin to feel velvety soft. This mask just like the others was very saturated but I did not struggle to put this one on, and I left it on for 20 minutes. After I took it off I gently patted the rest of the serum onto my face and it really did feel very soft, I didn’t have to wash any of it off cause my skin looked fine and not oily or anything like that. However this still wasn’t my favorite, charcoal won hands down in my book because everything about that mask was just working.

Overall Rating 4/5

Well there you have it guys, have you tried LALAFOX yet? If so, did you like it? Or are you willing to try it if available near you? Is there any other Korean beauty products you think I should try? I’d love to hear what you guys have to say down in the comments below.

 

I tried false lashes for the first time yesterday.

I’ve never used a pair of false lashes until yesterday. I seen them at the store countless of times before but I always felt that my eyelashes were already long enough so why should I use a pair of false ones? Well I tried my hand at a pair of dramatic lashes and I can honestly say I’m impressed.

Of course I used my first pair is from e.l.f. you really can’t go wrong with their stuff. I just felt like this pair looked better and I figured if I wanted to notice a big difference I should either go big or go home. I learned that you should cut the eyelashes to match the shape of your eye ( thanks to all the beauty bloggers and youtube videos for that tip) and I went ahead and followed the directions on the back on how to apply the lashes.

I tried my best and I believe I got it mostly on my lash line. I ended up taking my eye lash curler to try and get them to blend in together ( which is another tip I learned) and used my e.l.f. volume plumping mascara.

On the left is what I look like with the false lashes on while the right is they look like without any false lashes on. I thoroughly enjoyed using these and next time I’m going to get the other pairs that I really had my eyes on which is the flirtatious luxe lash and the natural lash pair.

Also I started collecting things for the next giveaway so expect that really really soon!

Trying Albolene Eye Makeup Remover

In a previous post I mentioned that I got one other sample product off of womanfreebies.com and this post is going to feature it. It’s called the Albolene Eye Makeup Remover and it’s paraben,fragrance, and preservative free.

I ended up putting 3 different random eye shadows on my hand as well as eyeliner and mascara since this apparently removes even waterproof mascara. It tells you that a little goes a long way so I added a few tiny drops and they weren’t kidding when they said a little goes a long way.

This is what it looked like once I put the products on. I really packed on the eye shadow, my eyeliner was liquid so that’s why it looked like that. So I did as I was told and put a few drops on my hand and rubbed it in a circular motion until it started coming off.

Almost immediately the eye shadow came off. But I still struggled with the mascara and the eye liner. I even took a soft cloth which it recommended to use that or a cotton pad and wiped it off. This is what that looked like.

Once again it’s not that bad so I put two more tiny drops on the area and once again began to rub it in circular motions gently like they said and it still wouldn’t come off all the way. At this point I would have rather just used a make up wipe and just went along with my normal night time skin routine.( which changed and I will write an updated post on that later this week)

I wasn’t really impressed with the way this worked. A pro is that it made my skin feel really soft in that area. So if that’s something you enjoy this product is right for you. Other than that I am not a fan and will not be buying this product any time in the near future.

What’s In My Makeup Bag *August 2017*

Today I wanted to show you guys what is in my makeup bag, it changes a lot so what’s in there now might not be in there next time. Some products are in there all the time cause I absolutely refuse to let them go cause I think that they are just that good.

First off I’m going to start with the bag itself. I got this when I went to ‘ Future Now ‘ which was a Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas tour from last year.

I thought this was super cute and it all of my products into it. Not to mention if you wanted you could use it just as a clutch, but I opted to use it as my makeup bag and it hasn’t let me down since.

Next up I’m going to move on to the brushes that I have in my bag.

These were actually cheap and came in a pouch full of brushes and whatever other tool you can think of. This is actually the Contour set and I’m in love with them. They work so well for my level of applying makeup which is still on the beginner side.

Which leads me to what contouring set I use. I’m still learning how to contour so I don’t do it that often, unless I have time to sit there and watch a youtube tutorial beforehand. But when I do this is what I always use.

Anytime I talk about my favorite drugstore makeup products you will most definitely hear e.l.f. come out of my mouth before anything else. I don’t know what it is but I’ve used it ever since I started wearing makeup and I don’t think I’ll ever stop. It’s affordable and not to mention the products are almost always amazing. This won’t be the last time you see e.l.f. in this post either.

I guess I probably should have mentioned what foundation I use, usually it is e.l.f. but the last time I went to go get more foundation they didn’t have the shade that I needed so I just switched to Covergirl until I run out than I’ll be right back to using my e.l.f. foundation.

Don’t be discouraged my beauty blender is actually tan in color but I do still need to get a new one. Even though I barely use it the way it is, I pretty much just use it to apply the foundation so that way I don’t have to use my hands. I’ll usually use my foundation brush to do the rest.

Moving on to the eyes.

Like I said earlier it wasn’t going to be the last time you see e.l.f. in this blog post.  I either use my NYC jet black eyeliner or my e.l.f. waterproof liquid eyeliner. My eyelash curler is also from e.l.f. partnered with the volume plumping mascara also from e.l.f.

I don’t really use that much eyeshadow but when I do it’s usually from the Sephora + Pantone Universe eyeshadow palette that I had for quite a while now, which I do plan on getting more into my eyeshadow game soon. Cause I love the looks that you can create with it.

Now my lips are a different story, I have such a hard time finding a lip shade that I actually think looks good on me. Sometimes I find a bold color that I like but I don’t like the way the lipgloss/lipstick felt. But I included the two lipglosses that I find myself using way more than the rest.

Once again e.l.f. is featured here too. I’m pretty sure if I had the chance and if the drugstores around here actually carried every single e.l.f. product there is I would own the whole collection and more. I also have the hard candy all glossed up hydrating lip stain, which makes my lips feel really soft.

Last but not least I have a concealer.

There you have it. That is all what is currently in my make up bag. I actually really enjoyed writing this and taking pictures of what is featured in my bag. Feel free to share what is in yours down in the comments below, I would love to hear about them.

Interview With An Educator

This post is going to be different from every other post I’ve done. But it is something that I hope to do more of. I’m going to interview someone who has had an impact on my life at one point or another. To get this thing started I’m going to do a quick little This or That questions feel free to play along down in the comment below.

Handwritten or  Emails

Sarah Dessen  or  John Green

Jeans or Leggings

Mystery  or Romance

Movies or Books

 Country Life or City Life  – AL: Ugh… too hard to answer

---

1. K: State your name and what it is that you do?

AL: My name is Alissa Lukasavage. I am an educator.  I have taught library skills to younger students and English to older students.  I used to be a librarian for a public library so I am a huge proponent of public libraries and all the things they do for surrounding communities. I have also been a pizza maker, an ice cream scooper,  a shoesalesman, and a reporter.

    2. K: What schooling did you go through to get the job? 

AL: I have a bachelor’s degree in English from Bloomsburg University. I also have a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I also have a teaching certificate from the Pennsylvania Department Of Education. I am certified to teach library skills to students in kindergarten to twelfth grade in Pennsylvania.

3. K: Did you find the process of getting a job as a librarian easy or hard?

AL: I found it pretty easy to get a job in a public library. You don’t have to have any special schooling to work in a public library, but that being said there is a degree you can get to become a librarian. It’s called a Master’s in Library Science. It’s typically a two- year degree, and a prospective candidate needs to have a four year bachelor’s degree in something. People who have a Master’s in library Science get paid more when they get a job in a public library. There are actual federal and state laws about how many people who work in the library have Master’s degrees in library Science. So if someone wants to become a librarian, it can take up to six years of school.

4. K: When I met you which I believe was a little over 3 or 4 years ago you took over the young adult area in the library, do you miss it at all?

AL: I really do miss working at the Osterhout Free Library. It was one of my favorite jobs, and I have had quite a few! I loved working and connecting with teenagers in the area. I especially loved recommending books to them and purchasing books for them.  It was also great to help them work together and see them achieve so much.

5. K: Did you always want to work around books? If not, what did you want to do?

AL: Wow. This is such an interesting question. I have always loved books and loved reading. When I was in college I worked at this bookstore called Wardenbooks and I really loved that job. I loved going into the store and being surrounded by books. When I was quite young, I actually wanted to write books. I still hope to be able to do that someday. But unfortunately, since I have grown up, I have to worry about paying the bills and taking time off to write a book will not pay bills. I actually have book ideas that bounce around in my head all the time. I think I am a decent storyteller. Maybe someday, I will write a book.

6. K: I recently got told about about there being an online library where you can get the app on your phone and as long as you have a New York library card or live in New York you can access the public library on your phone. Now I know technology is taking over pretty much everything. Is this something you think all states should have? ( I personally thought this was great and would like to know if any other places has this as well)

AL: Actually,  The Free Library of Philadelphia has this in Pennsylvania. It’s so awesome. You can access all of their online books and they literally disappear from you electronic device when they are due so there are no late fees. The Osterhout has ebooks for their patrons to have access to. It’s such a great thing to be able to have at your fingertips. But there is something about a physical book for me that I absolutely love reading. I seem to be able to focus better on them and get more out of them. I do read books on my Kindle but I prefer to have a physical book. As ebooks get more popular I do think that publisher’s will do smaller runs of print books. But I do not think that print books will ever disappear. At least not in our lifetimes.  But I could very well be wrong.

7. K: After every teen library council meeting you would ask us for book recommendations, how important is it to know what everyone is reading now and why? 

AL: I think reading is so important because I truly believe that it makes empathetic people. Caring about the way others feel and being able to put yourself in other people’s shoes is so important. I think that when you have empathetic people in society, it helps reduce the amount of people who become marginalized in our society. So I think reading is one of the most important skills that people can have and that reading for fun is the best hobby people can have. It can literally lead to a better world for everyone. I like asking my teenagers for book recommendations because they always knew what the up and coming things were.

8. K: Last year our area got hit with devastating news that they were going to cut library services as well as a few other programs that would help shape a lot of futures, how much more important did it come for you to reach out to the children in our area that reading as well as writing was still a very valuable thing? 

AL: The cuts that happened in our school districts were devastating. It really did become even more important to me to continue being a proponent of libraries, and to encourage reading and writing. After my position got eliminated, I ended up teaching English last year to eighth, ninth, and tenth graders. I taught literature to eighth and ninth graders and a research class to tenth graders. Last school year, I was constantly checking out books from the library for students. I had one student that read almost the whole Harry Potter series. Despite my role in the district changing, I still encouraged students to read for fun and even helped them get their hands on books.

9. K: Do you think people are reading enough? 

AL: No, not even close. I don’t think I read enough! There are so many different things to read, and so many other things competing for people’s attention. I also think the more people get out of the habit of reading books,it’s harder to focus on long pieces of writing. So I think everyone should make it a goal for themselves to read more, books specifically.

10. K: Favorite book to movie? 

AL: Ohhh, so hard to pick just one. But probably The Notebook. I just love that movie. But I am REALLY excited for The Glass Castle which comes out in a few days ( since this interview happened, it is already out) and for Wonder coming out this fall. They were both awesome books and I think they are going to be great movies too.

11. K: Favorite underrated book? 

AL: There’s some really old books that I loved when I was growing up. They are all underrated. Some of them are:

Mama, Let’s Dance by Patricia Hermes.

Wonder by Rachel Vail 

The Man Who Loved Clowns by June Rae Wood

Silver by Norma Fox Mazer 

The Pinballs by Betsy Byers

12. K: Favorite overrated book?

AL: I thought Everything,Everything was a little overrated. It was good, not great.

13. K: What is your opinion on 13 Reasons Why?

AL: This is such a tough question to answer!  I read the book and watched the show. I am certainly not an expert in mental health so I don’t think my opinion holds very much weight. But I personally thought the show was good and I think that the show proves that teens need more entertainment that is real and centers around teenagers that deal with real problems.

14. K: Do you like when books take on controversial topics and should more authors do it? 

AL: Yes, I wish more authors chose to take on more controversial topics.  I think this goes back to empathy. The more people read about different kinds of people, the more they can relate to them. I hope more authors will tackle subjects for their readers. 

15. K: Most powerful thing you have ever taken from a book?

AL: I love the book ” The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho. It’s a book that almost defies genre. It’s like part fiction, part self-help, part power of positive thinking, part personal development. It is so good. There are so many lessons that can be taken from it. But to me, the main message was, be what you are supposed to be.Stop shying away from what you are supposed to be because the world tells you something else.

16. K: What is the name of the book you are currently reading?

AL: I am currently reading ” On Writing” by Stephen King. It’s a book about the writing process and about his life. I also picked up another memoir at the library this week, ” The Sound Of Gravel” by Ruth Warrier. I heard it was pretty good I am excited to read it.

17. K: Favorite beauty product?

AL: Hmm, I am not really into beauty products too much. So I guess I have to say my Rodan and fields Micro-Dermabrasion Paste. I bought it from a friend who sells it online. It was EXPENSIVE serum from the same company and it feels like I got a facial, well not that I have ever actually had one! But it’s a great product.

18. K: In your very cute wedding photos you had on converses was it more for comfort or just something you guys just both liked?

AL: It was a little of both. My husband and I actually met at a shoe store and we both loved shoes and we both had a lot of them. We were constantly getting clearance shoes so we always had a lot. Converses were shoes we both really liked. We decided we wanted to wear them to the reception. My mother made me wear different shoes during the actual wedding but if I had my way, I would have worn them for the wedding and reception. They were a big hit. Our guests really loved seeing us in them!

19. K: I thought it was a pretty cool touch cause I am not good at walking in heels, did you face any backlash for not wearing the traditional heel? 

AL: Yes!!! Mostly, my mom hahaha. But she finally got on board and was pretty cool about it. I have a friend that got married a few months after me and wore the most gorgeous purple heels at her wedding. I was a little jealous of those but I knew I would have NEVER been able to walk in them. I am also terrible at walking in heels.

20. K: What are your favorite things to do? 

AL: I love to watch Netflix I especially like watching episodes of The Office. I also love hanging out with my husband and my dogs. I also love to read and to crochet. I love to spend time with my family too! Ii also have a pretty fun group of friends that I love spending time with too. I have spent so much time with them, they feel like family.

21. K: Who gave you the best advice,that isn’t famous?

AL: My dad gives great advice. He doesn’t talk much, but when he says something, it has value. He has given me lots of little advice gems throughout the years. But there is one I remember in particular. I was having a rough day, and he drove me from Williamsport to Bloomsburg to get something I left at school and he just told me that tomorrow would be better. He’s definitely a ” look at the brightside” kind of guy. Mostly he gives good advice by his actions. He shows up in life everyday.

22. K: Why do you think that people need to express themselves more verbally today than a few years ago?

AL: I think with the rise of technology that more and more people are relying on the written word like text messages to communicate. But it’s so important to be able to have a real conversation with someone and look them in the eye. People are way to addicted to their phones these days. I know I am. Sometimes, my husband and I plan tech free nights where we will watch a movie and put our phones and laptops away.

23. K: I feel like everyone has a different answer to this, or is always wondering why you are saying no to having kids right now, why is that? I for one am leaning towards the latter on this one for a few different reasons.

AL: This is a tricky one. When I was growing up I didn’t know too many couples that didn’t have kids. So I sort of grew up thinking first you fall in love, then you get married, and then you have kids. It wasn’t until I was in college that I really kind of put all the facts together and pretty much realized that you get to choose! So after college, I decided that kids may not be for me. It is a weird decision in many people’s eyes. I think parenting is such a big important job and that if you are not on board with doing it 100%  that you probably shouldn’t have a baby. I am also not every comfortable around babies. They make me very nervous. I am also pretty selfish with my time. That being said, sometimes I don’t like to tell people that I don’t want to have kids because infertility is something that plagues a lot of women today. I know that if I did want kids and was trying desperately to get pregnant and it wasn’t happening, that I would be irritated with anyone saying,” Oh, I just don’t want to have kids.” They are hilarious and have such a unique perspective on this world. I truly think they are a treasure.I also know that my husband is on board with the decision. If he said tomorrow, I really want to have a baby, I would seriously reconsider my stance on it. I think that it’s important to find a partner that agrees with you about this. I didn’t want him to marry me expecting that I would change my mind. About every six months or so, my husband and I “check in” and make sure we are still on the same page about kids. I know if either one of us changes our minds the other person will reconsider their stance. I think it’s been hardest for our mothers to deal with. My mother just doesn’t want me to miss out on anything. And I know my husband’s mother would be ecstatic if we changed our minds.

24: K: A few months ago you did this project, can you tell me what it is and why you decided to take part in it? 

AL: Project 333 is a project that can help people declutter their closets. I have been on a journey for the past year to declutter everything in my life. I found out about Project 333 by reading a blog written by Joshua Becker called Becoming Minimalist. On the blog, he encourages people to live well with less things. Project 333 was created by Courtney Carver who blogs at bemorewithless . The project encourages people to choose 33 articles of clothing, including shoes and accessories to wear for 3 months. It was such an experience to really see if I could could function with a “micro-wardrobe”. I had some unexpected realizations while completing the project. First, I was much less stressed about clothing because I didn’t have as many choices. Also, it really helped me see why I like the clothing that I like and it helped me weed through the clothing I didn’t choose for the project with a very close eye and determine if I should or shouldn’t keep it and why. Ii was clearly able to see why  I like certain types of clothes and why I don’t like others. It was such a cool experience, one that I think everyone should try.

25. K: Was it hard?

AL: It was not as hard as I thought it would be. I very carefully choose my 33 pieces. I think I choose too many dresses ( I picked 4) and that was just a lesson learned. Next time, I would not choose as many dresses. The other thing that made the project easier for me was I did not count shoes or accessories I don’t have too many of those so I just didn’t count them. I think it would would have been A LOT harder had I included those things.

26. K: Did you find yourself liking the 33 pieces of clothing even after the 3 months was up? Or did you get tired of seeing the same 33 pieces? 

AL: I actually didn’t get tired of the 33 pieces at all. They were my FAVORITE clothes. I even paired up something that I wouldn’t normally have paired. I have this dress that has dinosaurs on it and one of my favorite outfits was to wear a sweater over the dress. I turned dinosaur dress into dinosaur skirt. My husband did not like that outfit hahaha. But I would have never even thought to try mixing that without Project 333.

 

Well there you have it guys my interview with Alissa. I have been so excited to share this with you guys for over 2 weeks now.

Why I Prefer Pantene Hair Products Over Most Other Products

I know you’ll hear me talk a lot about other amazing products but more than half the time everything else I use will be Pantene related. The products are just so affordable and they last me so long. Back in December I won a giveaway where I recieved so many Pantene products

 

I was able to discover new products as well as get more of my favorites. I am always down to try new things some I may love and others not so much but I don’t think I’ve ever tried a Pantene product that I haven’t liked. The shampoo and conditioner always makes my hair feel soft and gives it so much volume. I’ll usually go in and use the frizz fixing serum which really does control a bit of the frizz action I got going on. The 3 minute miracle which is the deep conditioner does wonders all on it’s own. And the alcohol free hair spray is amazing, I wrote more about that here. I do still love using Matrix but it is more on the expensive side so when it comes to wanting affordable hair care that lasts pretty much just as long as Matrix, Pantene is my go to and I think it always will be. Pantene has an amazing line of products and I’m excited to keep trying them as they come out and when they do you know you can always check back here for a review on them.Also I am thinking of making a sort of Pantene/E.L.F inspired giveaway soon so if that is something that you think you’d enjoy please let me know and I’ll work on it.

WET N WILD Megaglo Make Up Stick

I have been trying to find a concealer that I like and that actually lasts a little while and I’m excited to announce that I have finally find one that I really enjoy. I got it in the shade ‘ You’re A Natural’ and I really like the way that it blends in and makes my face feel.  It lasted a pretty decent amount of time as well which was great cause I was in the sun pretty much all day so it didn’t come off. It’s a pretty decent size and twists up so there is more which is a plus. Another huge plus is that it is cruelty free. The packaging is so adorable and I think I’m going to be using this product for a while.

Ignore the disinterest on my face for the picture I was not happy that I lost my contacts right before I had to go out and I’m not used to wearing my glasses that much anymore. But I put the concealer on my eye/ cheek area which is where I feel like I needed it the most cause my eye area sometimes has some discoloration and it did it’s job pretty well. I like the way that it went on smoothly and blended in with no problem. I want to try the contour stick that goes with it as well so maybe when I get that I will write a review on that product as well. You can find Wet N Wild MegaGlo Makeup Stick at most stores near you or you can order it online here. It’s on the cheap side as well and I hope you guys try it if you haven’t already. As always please let me know if you did, I’d like to hear about your experience with it.

My favorite beauty products… SO FAR!!

Today I just wanted to talk about my top 5 beauty products so far! I know that there probably will be plenty more to come even though I don’t want to admit it. So let’s get this started.

#1 Whiskey River Soap CO.

Not only is this packaging absolutely hilarious this handmade soap actually smells really good itself. I ordered this from my favorite boutique called EmleighsandMamaBs and will be getting more in the near future. But for an up close look at some of the packaging I took pictures.

 

These 2 pictures are just the start of it, there are plenty more sayings and different scents that once I start getting some more I will be showing you guys. But I just had to get this one first. The directions for use are,” Rinse,lather,repeat. Do not eat.Do not invite friends over and serve over a bed of organic wild rice. Organic rice is way out of your budget.” The scent is jello shots. I need more of these in my life.

#2 Matrix Biolage Hydrasource Shampoo and Deep Conditioner

This makes my hair feel so soft and way less damaged. I love to dye my hair ( a bit to much I might add! ) but this shampoo and deep conditioner make my hair feel like I never even dyed it or did anything to it what so ever. I wrote a blog post about the deep conditioner so if you want to read more on what I have to say about that please click here.

#3 and #4 Pantene Frizz Fixing Serum and Air Spray

First the frizz fixing serum does wonders on my hair. I always have really bad hair days whenever it rains or whenever the heat is unbearable. But ever since I tried the frizz fixing serum it became more manageable and not to mention that it smells really good. While the air spray doesn’t make my hair feel like it won’t be going anywhere anytime soon but still holds whatever I decide to do my hair just like regular hair spray. It doesn’t have any of the alcohol in it. My hair feels normal and soft when I use it, which is great!

#5 Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask

Need I say more about this? It’s the infamous bubble mask that has been going around as of lately. I tried it and guess what? I loved it. My face feels so soft and cleaner after I used it. I wrote more about it on the blog so click here if you want to read more on it.

Well there you have it, if I find more beauty products I enjoy I will make sure to post them. Have any of you tried them? Want to try them? Or any suggestions on what I should try next, please leave a comment. I would love to talk about these products and many more with you all!
