May Empties!

This is where I get to show you my trash, and because I tried this product hopefully I can give a good review and tell you whether or not I would recommend it or if I would repurchase this. I hope this is helpful!


1. Freeman Facial Peel-Off Mask Cucumber: The packaging says, "Clarifies & renews skin. This clarifying mask gently peels away impurities while Cucumber Extract leaves your skin smooth and silky." You apply and leave on for 5-10 minutes and then you peel it off and rinse with warm water. I don't like this kind of mask. It was hard finding the mask to peel off because it is clear. I am not going to purchase this. This is small size. You can buy it in a bottle form too. I've seen it at Walgreens.


2. Freeman Facial Exfoliating Scrub in Pink Grapefruit: The packaging says, "Invigorates & smoothes complexion. This deeply purifying non-abrasive exfoliating scrub enhanced with Pink Grapefruit gently resurfaces. Invigorates and smoothes your skin. Microbeads remove dead skin cells and improve healthy cell renewal." This smells so good! And it is non-abrasive. The beads are very small. I couldn't find this in the store, so I bought the full size bottle on drugstore.com for $3.99.


3. Banana Boat Sport Performance Sunblock SPF 50: I didn't finish this because  I saw my skin would peel off whenever I used this stuff! I looked up Consumer Reports to see what the best sunscreen was and it said the Walmart Equate SPF 50 is one of the best! So I'm going to have to pick that up, and hopefully my skin won't peel! I don't recommend this sunblock.


4. Coppertone Sport Ultra Sweatproof Waterproof SPF 50 Clear Continuous Spray Sunscreen: This works good on my legs, but I have some sort of allergic reaction when I put it on my chest and arms. The spray makes it easy to apply. I would get this again for my legs, my my arms and chest peel off just like the Banana Boat Sunscreen.


5. Versace Bright Crystal Eau de Toilette: This was a one time use sample. I got a bunch of perfume samples like this when I ordered on E-Bay. It was really nice of the sender. This smells very bright! It helps to wake you up. I like it! I wouldn't purchase this because I have too many perfumes and samples. Sephora says the notes are "Iced Accord, Yuzu, Pomegranate, Peony, Magnolia, Lotus Flower, Acajou, Vegetal Amber, and Musk." I can really smell the pomegranate. That is what is so refreshing. Sephora says the style is "sheer, sensual, and luminous." It isn't sheer, it is very strong. I wouldn't say it was sensual or luminous. But I liked the way it smelled.


6. Chloe Eau de Parfum: This smells so elegant! I love it! This would make a nice gift from a boyfriend/husband. It is &105. I wouldn't buy this because I already have so many perfumes and samples. I don't need it, but it is nice. Sephora says the notes are "Pink Peony, Freesia, Lychee, Magnolia Flower, Lily of the Valley, Rose, Cedarwood, Amber, and Honey." It is very feminine.


7. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet Eau de Toilette: This reminds me of the Chloe perfume, but fainter. It smells very feminine too. I like it. I wouldn't purchase this. It would be a romantic gift. Sephora says the notes are, "Sicilian Orange Essence, Pink Peony, Damascus Rose, and White Musk." They say the style is "chic, romantic, and charming." I think it is romantic.


8. Healthy Sexy Hair Color Safe Soy Moisturizing Shampoo: I got this at Super Cuts when I got my hair dyed. They recommended this to me. I don't think I will repurchase this because it is expensive. I will look for one at the drugstore that is color safe.


9. Tresemme Tres Two Spray Ultra Fine Mist Hair Spray 3: It says "superior hold with touchable feel. All day humidity resistance." It has superior hold. My hair is fine, so it was really thick in my hair. I felt like taking a shower after using it. I like it though. I repurchased it. When I researched what hairspray to buy this hairspray got a lot of good reviews.


10. Maybelline Dream Lumi Concealer in Radiant: I love this stuff! I repurchased it. I like the one in ivory too. It has a peachy tint to it, so it helps brighten dark under eyes. You can put it on the face as a highlighter.

April Favorites!

Favorite TV Show


The Real Housewives of OC Season 9: Yes I know I always say my favorite TV show is a real housewives show. I don't know why exactly I get into these dramas. The only thing I can think of is that I like to study people and their relationships to each other.

Favorite Skin Care




1. Aveeno Smart Essentials Nighttime Moisture Infusion: I wanted a lotion with vitamin E in it because that is supposed to help get rid of acne scars according to my dermatologist. This also has Vitamins A and C and an antioxidant called Southernwood that is supposed to be good for the skin. I already use the daytime lotion in this brand and line, so I thought I would like the night time cream. It smells the same too, which is a good thing.


2. L'Oreal Revitalift Eye Cream: I wanted to start using an eye cream. I heard I should be using an eye cream now that I'm in my 30's. I researched good eye creams and I forget which website, but I think it was a magazine article that recommended this eye cream. It has Pro-Retinol A and Stimuplex that is supposed to reduce wrinkles, firm skin, and reduce the "morning puffy look." I haven't noticed anything. I am just using it to help get the least amount of wrinkles as possible.


3. Dove Pomegranate Body Wash: I got this because I was out of my Lush's Prince Charming Shower Gel, and I really liked the smell of that. The main ingredient in it was pomegranate. I saw this body wash, and I thought it would be good. I have had Dove body washes in the past, and I like how they moisturize the skin. It comes in a big container. This might be even better than Lush's Prince Charming.

Favorite Hair Products


1. Healthy Sexy Hair Color Safe Soy Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner: I got my hair dyed for the first time this month! The person who did my hair recommended I use a shampoo and conditioner that was color safe. She used these products on my hair, so I decided to get them. I think they work good. I have the Healthy Sexy Hair Argan Oil, so it goes good with these products.


2. Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Leave-In Spray: I had run out of my heat protectant and I needed to get a new one. I wanted to try this because I always hear people rave about it. I love it! It smells good and it gives my hair volume I notice. You can use this for before you blow dry your hair or before you use any kind of heat on your hair.

Favorite Nail Polishes


1. Essie Nail Lacquer in Spin the Bottle: I don't think you can really see in this picture, but this is a nude nail polish. It blends in with my skin color and my flip flops. This is Essie's Spring 2014 collection. It is just a pretty nude. It has no sparkle.


2. Essie Nail Lacquer in Romper Room: This is a pastel pink color from the Essie Spring 2014 collection.


3. Essie Nail Lacquer in Splash of Grenadine: This is a pretty purple color. I thought it matched the flower bush that was in bloom.


4. China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Wish on a Starfish: This nail polish has a sandpaper type feel to it. It is a really pretty pink and gold, sparkly polish.

Favorite Makeup



1. Jordana 12 HR Made to Last Liquid Eyeliner Pencil in Black Point: I heard this was a dupe for Urban Decay's Perversion Eye Liner. It is a really black liner, and inexpensive.



2. NYX Mosaic Powder Blush in Love: This is a medley of 5 matte and shimmer colors that creates a flush of color and dazzling glow. It is orange with a golden shimmer undertone. It is a peachy/apricot color. This is the perfect color for Spring/Summer.
