Julep Glycolic Hand Scrub

A mini facial for your hands, this product packs a powerful 10% glycolic acid in the scrub. This hand scrub reminds me a bit of St. Ives apricot scrub. The sweet scented scrub removes dirt, oil and dead skin to reveal softer and smoother skin and hands. After using the scrub, I followed up with Julep Rock Star Hand Creme and then began painting my nails; which I may add looks manicure perfect. Julep warns that this product makes your skin sensitive to the sun. So be sure to follow up with sunscreen when using this product.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I was a little bored while watching Thor 2 and decided to create this little picture for this blog. Not to say that the movie was boring, it was just that I was surfing Sephora for some new facial masks. Any suggestions? I ended up missing half of the movie so I figured, why not create something special for Valentine's Day. While, it isn't the prettiest thing around, it's the thought that counts, right...RIGHT?! You know you still love me!

I hope you have a great Valentine's day!

Julep Rock Star Hand Creme

The anti-aging hand creme is packed with shea butter, glycerin, coconut oil and vitamin E. This emollient blend keeps hands hydrated, even after you finishing washing your hands. The non - greasy, fast - absorbing creme has a clean scent. It left my hands felt pampered, soft and smooth. I love applying this creme as feel like a mini-spa treatment especially after using the Julep Glycolic Hand Scrub. I, at first, love the cap but after using it for awhile I realized, the product gets stuck on the cover and it is just messy.

Skin & Co Bagnodoccia Sicilian Body Gel

This delicately scented shower gel is packed with zesty ingredients  like orange, rosemary extracts and olive oil which were sourced from Italy. The body wash left my skin feeling soft and lather decently enough. It was okay body gel and I probably won’t be buying it again. I wasn’t too fond of the scent but I did make me wish I was in Italy though!

The Honest Company Purely Simple Lip Balm

This lip balm is originally sold in a pack of three with two other flavors but I am not sure if this is from the pack I bought or the one I got from my Glossybox subscription. It could be very be the one I tried from the subscription and then bought the lip balm set. Why am I bringing this up, frankly I have no idea...haha! Moving on, the lip balm went on like butter and left my lips soft and smooth. I didn’t notice a scent or taste to the lip balm. Which is good because I have a tendency of licking off my lip balm, especially those Strawberry Lip Smackers [*sigh*].  I did like how the ingredients list was all natural and easy to read. So, even if I did “accidentally” manage to taste a bit, I don’t have to worry about it. If you are a fan of Burt’s Bees Lip Balms, 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.

Pixi Lip Booster - No. 10 Pixie

I was in the market for a new lip gloss and I wanted one with a bit of color but it shouldn’t didn’t leave my lips sticky. Especially, since it is super windy lately and I hate when my hair gets stuck on top of my gloss. I know the easiest solution would be not to wear lip gloss, but that's not really fun! I was familiar with the Pixi brand, so I decided to try this lip gloss, since it also promises to plump up paltry lips. The cherry colored lip gloss went on sheer but smelled like crayons. The  non-goopy lip gloss didn’t go on sticky, but my lips did leave sticky. My lips did look fuller but not by much. I would continue using this lip booster as a lip gloss but not for the sole purpose of plumping up my lips.
