BioBelle Botanic Fiber Face Mask #Decadence

Facial sheet masks are a mainstay in my weekly routine. I used to use one Sundays before work but, I, unfortunately, bought so much over the years that, I have enough to use one every single day for the next five years and still have some leftovers. And now, I have quite comfortable using facial sheet masks more often. I haven't quite mastered using it every day but, usually at least three times a week.

I have used quite a few brands of sheet masks over different price points and noticed just because a mask is sometimes priced higher doesn't always mean it is good. BioBelle masks are one of those rare unicorns where they are under $5 and you notice results after the first use. I was actually drawn to this mask because I have a huge sweet tooth. The sweet-scented mask is enriched with chocolate and acai berry extracts. This mask really does seem decadent and was a treat to use. My face was left hydrated and revitalized. This is one of my favorite brands of sheet masks and I always reach for it if I know I have a special event coming up.

Book Review - The Poison Thread by Laura Purcell

Two young women who are complete opposites of each other, find their lives intertwined. Ruth Butterham is a poor seamstress awaiting trial for murder. Dorothea Truelove is a wealthy socialite with an interest in phrenology. Following her mother's footsteps, Dorothea volunteers at the Oakgate Prison where she meets Ruth. Dorothea believes that the shape of a person's skull can help predict a person's traits and personalities including, the ability for murder. 

Ruth maintains that she can kill someone with just a needle and thread. Ruth believes she has a supernatural power that transfers to her stitches. As Ruth begins to tell her tale of betrayal and bitterness, will Dorothea be able to trust Ruth's story?

I thought the novel had an interesting premise and was an enjoyable read. However, I felt like the writing was choppy and hard to follow during some parts of the story. I also felt like that the story was drawn out and the ending was a bit rushed and out of place. I wish the story was a bit more developed and the author spent more time building out the ending. Since I enjoyed the premise of the story, I would be open to reading more books from the author.

Biobelle #Unicorn Glow Facial Sheet Mask

Ah, I love facial sheet masks! However, I usually get the $1-4 ones and on special occasions, I splurge and get the more expensive ones. Boy, am I excited I took the chance and splurged with this facial mask! The Tencel sheet mask is enriched with honey, mulberry, and chocolate. The ingredients read like a smoothie ingredient list and my skin loved this mask. It left my skin so soft, moisturized and radiant. I got so many compliments the next day after using this mask before going to bed. Definitely one of my favorite masks over the ones I normally use. After getting such great results with this mask, I am going to try other masks from this company as I can't rave enough about this mask.

The Body Shop Chocomania Sugar Body Scrub

What better way to celebrate the holidays than with chocolate. This deliciously chocolate scented sugar body scrub is packed with cocoa butter and organic cane sugar. The sugar scrub removes dead skin cells, stimulates circulation, and leaves skin feeling softer and smoother. I love how soft my skin felt and the sweet chocolate scent on my skin. If you love chocolate and body scrubs, you  should definitely give this a try.

Cailyn Cosmetics Line-Fix Gel Eyeliner - Chocolate Mousse

The creamy eyeliner with the built-in brush made it easy to apply eyeliner, even to do the coveted cat eye with ease. The gel eyeliner goes on smoothly and it dries very quickly. I love that the color lasted all day and it didn't even smear. I really love this eyeliner and can't wait to try other colors. The chocolate color was a bit darker than I expected but very easy to use for everyday wear.

BA Star Chocolate Star Dust and Body Shimmer Base

The glue goes on white and tacky but dries clear

The texture of my skin was a bit rough but when you rub it in goes smooth and soft

BA Star offered to send me a sample of their Chocolate Star Dust and Body Shimmer Base, I was super excited to try it. BA Star supplies makeup to performers, dancers and cheerleaders. I figured that their makeup has to stay put and last all day given how vigorous their lifestyle is.  When I first got the chocolate star dust, I thought it was eye shadow but it turns out it is  body shimmer, mostly because the of the base that BA Star supplied. The body shimmer base was white and look a bit like Elmer's glue but it is not sticky and very easy to clean  without leaving a residue. The star dust has a bit of a coarse texture but when you rub it in, it becomes smooth and soft.  While, I don't use body shimmers anymore, I think I might use the star dust as eyeshadow or use it during Halloween. 

For anyone interested in trying any BA Star products, use code "BBDUST" for 50% off. The code expires on September 30th, 2013, so hop to it :)

Pure Madness Smoky Almond Chocolate

 Peel back the foil and unravel the madness or better yet  watch sweet happiness unfold. The creamy chocolate that just melts in your mouth. The little bits of slivered almonds with hints of hickory smoked surrounded by silky chocolate is the perfect harmony of sweet and salty. It makes the perfect treat when watching movie during a rainy day. Then again it is chocolate and that’s perfect any time! Unless of course you are diabetic or allergic, then can I have your share?
