Boscia Matcha Magic Super - Antioxidant Mask




I love using a mask on my face while soaking in the tub. I heard good things about matcha in skincare and decided to try this mask. The antioxidant mask is enriched with matcha green tea extracts,  bakuchiol, jojoba, willowherb, and willow bark extract. The mask went on smoothly and after washing off, my skin did feel tight the first few uses but, it was still glowy.  After applying lotion, my skin looked and felt radiant. It was almost like I went to get a facial.

The Cottage Greenhouse Rosemary Mint Rescue Foot Cream











My feet get so dry that they start to crack and become very painful. I have to rub on a thick cream and sometimes, that doesn't even help. The luscious foot cream is packed with jojoba, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, menthol, beeswax, and tea tree oil. The cream absorbs quickly and leaves skin with a gentle tingly feeling. I rub the foot cream on before bed and wake up with softer soles.

I am a huge fan of pomegranate. I tried Burt’s Bees Cranberry and pomegranate body scrub and I loved it.  The body butter is packed with cranberry seed and pomegranate oils and cocoa and jojoba butter. The potent cocktail promises to replenish, moisture and hydrate dry and itchy skin. The thick fragrant body butter absorbs easy and doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. Overall, I like this body butter as made my skin really soft and left my skin with a soft fragrance on my skin.

Urban Decay Lipstick - 714 Mega Matte











I love Urban Decay products they are highly pigmented and leaves my makeup looking flawless. The Mega Matte is billed as a super intense red matte color. The lipstick is enriched with jojoba, avocado, aloe vera, babassu oil, illipe tree, vitamin C and E. The color pigment was a bit disappointing. The color was bright or went on smoothly along with my lips feeling dry. I found this lipstick a bit of a disappointment for the price.

Juara Radiance Enzyme Scrub



The 2-in-1 exfoliator is enriched with an ingredient list good enough to eat: apple enzyme, clove flower, cinnamon, candlenut oil, turmeric, jojoba and bamboo beads. The scrub promises to reveal a smoother, brighter and more radiant skin. The scrub was a bit rough and had the same scent (candlenut, if I am not mistaken) as most of Juara’s products. The exfoliator was a bit rough and it left my skin feeling smooth and soft but it wasn’t any different from other cleansers I have used.

Sephora Tangerine Grapefruit Body Lotion





I came across this body lotion along with several other varieties of it while organizing my room. I didn’t even know I had these  but it was a nice treat to use. I like the unique shape of the container. It seems this body lotion has been discounted for awhile,which makes me sad since it was a really good product. I noticed a lot of Sephora’s products get discounted very quickly. The body lotion is packed with aloe vera and jojoba to soften and moisturize. The body lotion is lightly scented with white grapefruit, Italian mandarin, blood orange, lily of the valley, and Gold Coast jasmine. The creamy lotion went on smoothly and absorbed easy and didn’t make my skin greasy. I really like this body lotion, I wish they would bring  this back :(

Basq Citrus Sugar Body Polish









Exfoliating gets rid of the dead cells on top while promoting cellular renewal on the lower levels. This body polish is packed with whipped shea butter, essentials oils, jojoba, rosehip, grapeseed, wheat germ, hazelnut oil and Illipe butter to hydrate, moisturize, nourish and exfoliate.  The citrus sugar scrub has scents of neroli but it was a bit overpowering  for me. The sugar scrub was liquidly which made it easy to scoop  up. I like how the scrub lathers and foams up when I rub it in. I love how soft, smooth, and moisturized it left my skin. I also like how softly the delicate scent was on my skin.

Julep Pomegranate Body Crème







This moisturizing cream is packed with pomegranate, papaya enzymes, shea butter, with jojoba, avocado, and kukui nut oils. I took two containers of this with me to Florida on a family reunion thinking the sun will dry out my skin leaving it scaly and dry. To my utter delight, this floral scented body crème kept my skin feeling soft and smooth the entire time. The creamy crème is a bit greasy if you apply too much but a little crème does go a long way. When opening the container the floral scent might be a bit overpowering to some but when rub on to the skin it leaves the skin delicately scented.

LA Fresh Eco Beauty Natural Waterproof Makeup Remover








I love wipes, they are so easy and convenient to use. I tend to keep some by my bed, on my bathroom counter and in my desk at work. Because lets be honest who has time to wash their face when there is a DVR full of TV and over-demanding calendar. I was interested in using these wipes because they are all natural and packed with good for your ingredients [and being 100% biodegradable] and without the nasty parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals and dyes. The wipes is enriched with 6 blend oil of Olive, Jojoba, Sesame, Grapeseed, Vitamin E and Lavender. These wipes didn’t do a good job of wiping off my makeup. I had to rub the wipes really hard to get my makeup off and it still left with traces of makeup behind. Even though the wipes promises no greasy residue, it did make my face shiny and moisturized. I am guessing, its most likely because of the 6 oil blend cocktail. I tend to like my wipes to leave my skin matte and then follow up with moisturizer.
