No7 Dual Action Tinted Moisturiser

I am starting to realize that I shop at Target A LOT, haha! Not surprisingly, I bought this product at Target too! I also went to Chipotle and had an amazing burrito, despite the weird couple next to me getting in a fight because he never listens (he forgot to get extra guacamole). I'm getting off topic! ok! So, this tinted moisturiser has been very good for me, because I do tend to keep my makeup more natural and soft looking. It won't be perfect for everyone, but for the look I'm going for it is! It is very sheer, but has pretty good coverage. I also don't need a lot of it for it to look nice, so it'll last me ages. It does have SPF 15, which I don't really care one way or the other about, but I thought I'd mention it in case you guys care about that in your makeup. Since my skin is a bit sensitive, I have to be careful about what I use on it. This tinted moisturiser hasn't left my skin feeling irritated or made it break out,  which makes sense since it is Hypo-allergenic. The only thing I would say is, is that if you do have skin that is quite blemished or you need something that will even out your skin tone, maybe go with something more heavy duty as it is very sheer.

e.l.f. Studio High Definition Powder



I feel a bit torn on this product. While I have quite liked it, I feel that there is probably a better option out there. My face does tend to get that oily look on it (especially when wearing makeup), and so I thought I’d give e.l.f. Studio High Definition Powder a try. All in all, it’s been pretty good. You can find it at your local store or online at http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ for around $6.00. I will probably keep using it until I run out but after that I will probably look for something else. Don’t get me wrong, it gets the job done. It’s just not got that wow factor. The color I got was sheer, or white really, and maybe I just need a better color but you can tell that I've just powdered my face no matter how much I blend. So all in all I've been left feeling "eh." I'm pretty sure I could just use baby powder and get the same result.

Soothing Aloe Vera Deodorant Stick



 Once again this post is all about sensitive skin, and body odor. That’s right people! We are talking about arm pits. God bless those poor people who think they don’t need it. Or maybe God bless those people’s friends for sticking around so long? Anyway, I am not one of those people and I am VERY aware that I need it. Since my mom is extremely into health and organic products, I occasionally try to take a page from her book and try it out. So this month I am trying Soothing Aloe Vera Deodorant Stick. This particular one can be found on http://www.jason-personalcare.com/ but you can also find it in your local store. It costs about $6.39, which is a little more than I’d like to spend on deodorant but I guess it’s worth it for the health benefits. They also have many other safe, natural products that I'm sure are amazing but that I have not tried. This particular deodorant has been pretty good. Since I do have sensitive skin, it’s especially important for me to be careful what I put on my skin in places where I shave. True to its name, it has been soothing! Normally from deodorants I get raw irritated skin, but this has been amazing. However, I will say that it doesn’t seem to last as long as other deodorants I’ve tried and so I do not like that. I think when I run out of this I will try another scent of the same brand so stay tuned!

Boots Extracts Mango Sugar Scrub



Hello everyone! Let’s talk about sugar scrubs. I’ve heard praise and complaints, and so I’ve been really slow to try them. However, in my quest for better skin (and my love of things that smell good) I decided to try one! I’m going through a mango phase, basically in any form I can get it. So I figured why not combine them and try it out? I'm currently using Boots Extracts Mango Sugar Scrub which you can get for $9.99 at Target. Now, while I am going to rate it with a “Love It!”, there are some things I don’t like about it. It does leave my skin feeling silky smooth and smelling like fresh mangoes (good) it also leaves somewhat of a waxy residue on the surface of the skin (not good). So if you want a clean feeling after using a sugar scrub, I would suggest finding another product. But, if you don’t mind feeling more like you’ve tried some weird sugar scrub/lotion hybrid than just plain old sugar scrub than this is for you! There are other scents of course this one is just my personal favorite.
