Venus Lab Salt Scrub

Venus Lab Salt Scrub

I'll make a quick review about Venus Lab Salt Scrub. My mum and dad gave this to me last Christmas, but I was able to try it last week of January. And this is what I could say about Venus Lab Salt Scrub. 

I am using this product thrice a week. And I am really amazed with it's effects on my skin. I am willing to give up some of my beauty regimens before, because this product already gives a lot. It's like saving money.

PROS:

• Price: At $36.75 USD, it’s a premium product at a palatable price. It’s not cheap, but it’s not high-end either, despite the results it offers. Points for that.
• Ingredients: Sea salt, water, Olefin (C14-16), Sulfonic Acid Na, Glycerin, Ginger Root Extract, Lecithin, Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract, Shea Butter, Persimmon Tannin, Silver, Hyaluronic Acid Na, Euglena Extract, Sea Poppy Leaf Extract, Caffeine, Arnica Flower Extract, Gingko Biloba Extract, Tea Leaf Extract, Butcher Bloom Root Extract, Horse Chestnut Seed Extract, Bladder Wrack Extract, Glycyrrhizin Acid 2K, PEG-8, Carbomer, Glycine, Zinc Sulfate.
• Scent: It smells like a fresh rose but generally speaking it smells of spas and luxury. Luxury spas, in fact. It’s classy and subtle.
• Packaging: That big pinkish tube jar looks so classy at the side of my bath. Again, it really adds to the sense of being in a luxurious spa for the day. 
• Effects: My skin became more silky and smooth even after the first time I used this product. I can really feel great changes in my skin. It made my skin whiter and brighter. My skin became 100% moisturized, like I don't need to use any moisturizer anymore. 

CONS:

• I can't think of anything.

So, all in all, thank you Mum and Dad for getting Venus Lab Salt Scrub for me for Christmas. I have officially found the best scrub ever, with absolutely zero effort. Excellent.

Loving Yes to Blueberries Cleansing Facial Towelettes

Loving Yes to Blueberries Cleansing Facial Towelettes

I'm brand new to using towelettes as a means to cleanse, but I'm glad I tried these! I plan on keeping them in my car~:) They are phenomenal because they do NOT cause dryness after cleansing and do a great job of wiping off makeup. I think the appropriate ways to use these are if you are say, on your way to the gym after work and are wearing makeup and want your skin to breathe during a work out, you want to freshen up without being able to wash your face, or you are too tired at night to wash your face. They are also amazing for traveling. There are no parabens in these and the ingredients are certified organic with no synthetic fragrances. These wipes also contain apple and lemon peel to help brighten complexion. I'm so glad I picked these up and they were only 7.99$ at my local wegmans. You can find them here!

Pink Frosted Animal Crackers in a Lip Shine

Pink Frosted Animal Crackers in a Lip Shine



Philosophy really gets it when it comes to lip gloss flavors. This is a new flavor, an upgrade from the animal cracker flavor they recently came out with. I literally was obsesssssed with pink frosted animal crackers when I was young, even though I wasn't allowed to eat them.(My parents never let me eat anything with sugar, milk, soda& white flour growing up, which I am thanking them for now, but at the time, any chance I got I'd sneak something sweet and these were my fav!). The minute I opened the tube I was brought back to my childhood and all the times I'd sneak these cookies in Sunday School at church ...lol. This lip gloss has a nice mauve tint to it that would likely be flattering on any skin tone. YUM! okay now I'm hungry for some! :)They even carry a shampoo/shower gel in this flavor. You can find this lip shine here for 10$.

One Love Organics :)

I literally am in love with One Love Organics at the moment. My all time favorite is the One Love Organics Skin Savior Waterless Beauty Balm. This stuff is magical. I am currently using this is a moisturizer and have used it for a few weeks now. It contains coconut oil, mango butter, chia seed extract and vitamin E, which are all so good for your skin and do not clog pores. I love it as a base for my makeup. No chemicals or synthetic preservatives.A couple neat things about this balm is that it kind of goes on like a vaseline but sinks into skin nicely leaving behind a really nice glow, not overly shiny. You can also mix mineral powder with it to make a customized foundation to your preference of thickness, which I think is such a great idea. Lastly, you can cleanse with the balm as well! (Great for traveling because it does it all, even removes tough to remove mascara and eyeliner). The cleanser is nice because it is a gel cleanser, which was a nice switch from my cream cleanser I used during winter months(Eminence coconut cream cleanser). I find that it removes makeup really nicely without leaving skin tight and dry..(if this happens and your skin becomes oily, then your cleanser is NOT right for your skin and will start to break you out, FYI). I always try to use things that make my skin feel the same before washing and after washing, so as not to disrupt the lipid barrier on the surface of the skin. The "Brand New Day" scrub and masque is great because you can mix it with the foaming cleanser every morning (it's a powder with small grains in it that aren't too abrasive such as rice powder and baking soda) to exfoliate. The packaging is really cute too! I recommend starting out with the travel kit so you can try everything to see if you like it before splurging bc they are a little pricey. The travel kit can be foundhere for 48$.

Healthiest Way to Deal with a Chocolate Craving

Healthiest Way to Deal with a Chocolate Craving






Ahhhhhh!!...I'm so excited to share this with you guys. I would never have thought that this recipe my sister shared with me was going to be so amazing until I had a massive chocolate craving and decided to try it. This chocolate pudding has no sugar! and...is made of basically banana, avacado, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, medjool dates, sea salt, almond milk and ice cubes. (with shaved chocolate on top and some coconut..if you want:) ...This is literally to DIE for and you won't have to feel guilty eating something like this. A few reasons why this is good for you: bananas contain vitamin C and potassium, and avocados are full of omega 3 fatty acids, all great for the skin and hair...You can go to this blog herefor the full recipe. This woman is a genius!

Finally, a company has designed quality brushes in a small travel size. I have yet to find tiny brushes like this that actually get the job done. These are Bobbi's full quality brushes, with just a tiny handle. A little pricey for only 4, they will set you back 55$. Depending on how often you touch up your makeup during the day, these really could benefit you by being REALLY small so you can fit them into any type of purse easily!
