Dial NutriSkin Dry Skin Replenishing Lotion






After running out of lotion and having a coupon for this lotion, I decided to buy it. The lotion promises to last 24 hours, packed with Vitamins C , E, and F , Omega 3, aloe and amino acids. The cocktail of “bio nutrient complex” promises protein building blocks, supports moisture balance and improve elasticity.  While the Aloe extracts hydrates and moisturizes. The non-greasy formula goes on easy and absorbs quickly. My skin was soft and smooth after using the lotion.  The lotion doesn’t last 24 hours but I noticed my skin doesn’t get as dry and scaly between uses.  I would definitely buy this again if it was on sale.

Julep Nail Polish - Sienna
















 The nice shimmer silvery gold nail polish goes on smoothly but I find it hard to dry properly without it getting dinged or streaky. I find it looks better when using the Julep Fast Dry nail drops. The nail polish lasts forever with two coats and is perfect for celebratory events. Overall, it is not my most favorite but it does look nice on me or so I been told.















Japonesque Beauty Fixation Cuticle Conditioner Applicators









My cuticles! Where do I begin with them, they are always raggedly and unkempt no matter what I do with them. I invest in hundreds of dollars of products but I tend to forget to use them. I figured with these easy to use on the go applicators, I would finally be able to get my cuticles up to par. The easy to use applicator just twists off and the product is deposited into the other end of the swab. The formula is packed with aloe vera, essential oils and extracts which promises to condition, rehydrate and revitalized dried and hardened cuticles. I love how easy and useful these were to use. I kept a box of these in my messenger bag, in my desk at work and near my nightstand so I will always remember to use them. Each applicator I have noticed had enough serum for both hands and some leftover either for my feet or just to rub the excess all over my hands. My cuticles did look better after using the product and it did help that it was travel size so I can use it anywhere.

Pura Botanica Just Because Candle Fulfill Mint







This small but potent soy based travel candle packs a crisp scent of Australian eucalyptus, Peppermint, Patchouli and Morocco Cedarwood. One whiff and I feel all my stress is melting away and my spirits revitalized. The scent is soft and not overwhelming. The tiny travel tin has a burn of 21 hours which will allow you to take the little escape anywhere and everywhere. So, light the candle and close your ends and imagine your mind and spirit transported to somewhere tranquil and leave the baggage behind ;)

Yes to Carrots Acne Blemish Clearing Facial Towelettes












As everyone can agree, sometimes there are not enough hours in the day. The last thing I want to do after a long day is wash my face. That is why I like keeping a packet near my bed so my lazy butt doesn’t have to go far to clean my face before hitting the sack. The facial wipes are made with 97% natural compostable, FSC certified fabric is Petroleum, SLS, & Paraben Free. The wipes are packed with tomato extracts, red pepper, witch hazel and salicylic acid. The wipes promise to help fight acne blemishes and leaves skin clean and clear.  While I wasn’t using this wipes to prevent or clear my acne and blemishes, I didn’t notice they did much to alleviate my acne and blemish or clear my pores and blackheads. I really hoped that it would help clean the blackheads that has made home on my nose. This wipes didn’t wipe off my mascara cleanly so I usually have to follow up with makeup remover.
