Dead Sea Minerals Facial Mask


Freeman Feeling beautiful Facial Mask
Anti-Stress Mask
Dead Sea Minerals
Purifies & Clear Pores
6 fl. oz.

This is a clay mask. It is semi cooling on the face, and leaves my skin feeling extra smooth. It does feel like it is cleaning my pores but it didn’t do much for black heads. It dries to a matte blue and is stiff feeling. I leave mine on for about 10-15 minutes. I also cleansed and exfoliated before the mask so it goes even deeper. It leaves my skin feeling relaxed and soothed. I over all really love this mask. It is a bright blue color. I have tried other freeman masks and have loved all of the ones I have tried and they are very inexpensive. Around 3-4 dollars at most drug stores.

Inexpensive Top Coat (Nail Polish)


Inexpensive Top Coat (Nail Polish)

Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat

Strong, Shiny, Chip-resistant nails!

Patented formula with Nylon & Pro-Vitamin B5

This claims to be a base and top coat. I have not tried this as a base coat because I do not think the shiny base coats hold the nail polish any better than my natural nail bed. But for a top coat this is quite good. It dries and it very hard, it’s not tacky or gel like. It’s just rock hard. It is very shiny but I have seen better top coats if you’re looking for just shine. Over all I am quit pleased with this product. I got mine at Rite-Aid for about 5 dollars and I think it is worth the price. The brush is a rectangle shape which I like for painting it on. It isn’t that fast at drying but once it is dry it is rock solid. Here are some pictures.

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder


Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

BEST FOUNDATION POWDER FROM THE DRUG STORE I HAVE EVER USED!!!

The powder foundation is so perfect. It makes my skin look like my skin but just more beautiful! Its not powdery it has never caked up on me!
It’s about 7 dollars at most drug stores.
My color is in Sand Medium 0-1
It comes with a mirror and a powder puff that twist out from the bottom.
I can use this with foundation to set it or alone for a lighter coverage.

I absolutely love it and would recommend it to just about anyone. I was looking into the MAC MSF Natural for a foundation powder and was recommended to try this instead and they are said to be similar. I would love to know your opinion if you have tried the MAC one.

Maybelline Dream Fresh 3-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector


Maybelline Dream Fresh 3-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector


BB Crème

Spf 30

Light Sheer Tint

Claims to:
Blurs imperfections
Enhances
Brightens
Adjusts to skin tone
Smoothes
Hydrates
SPF 30 Protects
0% Oils and other heavy ingredients



I really love this stuff. I have healed all my acne up and have pretty clear skin now. I also have a normal skin type. This isn’t full cover by any means but I am sure it could be built up to at lease medium coverage. It is very light and silky smooth feeling. It feels just like a moisturizer on my skin. It is a dewy bb crème so if you are oily skin type or don’t like the shiny look I would powder. I usually just powder my nose and chin and then just use a powder blush and bronzer and it lasts pretty well. The main thing I want to make clear is how good it feels on your skin. It is so light and just makes your skin feel great, and look great at the same time. It’s an inexpensive product and I will continue to buy it all the time! Here are some pictures and swatches! Hope this helps you! 5-8 dollars at drug stores.

Mine is the Lightest Shade

Broadway Nails Real Life Brush-on Gel Nails Kit


Broadway Nails Real Life Brush-on Gel Nails Kit

$10.00 – $11.00 Most Drug Stores

I have bought 2 kits now and the results of these nails are pretty good if you follow the directions correctly. If you don’t they will never dry.

First time I did this I did the steps right but when I put the gel on I brushed the gel on all the fingers then went back and did the activator but you really should do each finger at a time. Put the Activator right on top of the wet gel or they will never become hard. It is self-leveling so you don’t need to file a ton. The tips that come with the kit are really good and are very flesh with your nail without filing. Do not file the white tips unless the gel is on them, because the white will come right off.  Here are some pictures of how mine turn out both times.


These are the finish product pictures the second time I did them!

Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment


Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Moroccan Sleek Oil Treatment

I put this on wet hair and dry hair all over the ends. My hair has been quite dry so this stuff is fantastic. It doesn't make it feel heavy or greasy, just silky smooth. It also smells pretty good. I keep it away from my roots so I don't get that greasy dirty look and around my face just in case it will clog my pores. I also use it on my extensions. I got mine at Target for about $5.00. I only use a very small amount for my hair. I usually put a little extra in before I go to bed and it feels fantastic in the morning.
