Avène Thermal Spring Water - $10.71

Evian Facial Mineral Spray - $9.99

For the past six months, I've been using both the Avène thermal spring water and Evian facial spray. After cleansing my face, I wipe off the "shower" water, and spray with either one of these and layer my face cream immediately so my skin sucks up all the goodness. So far, I can't start my facial routine without spraying my face first.  Now that summer is here, whenever I feel my face is dry, I spray my face with this and let me tell you, it is AMAZING! I also use it to set my makeup. 

Stay hydrated :)

Fresh - Soy Face Cleanser - $38

I got the tester while shopping at Sephora and I fell in love with how smooth and gentle it was.

 Once I was done with my tester, I quickly bought it because I was traveling and lets just say #blessup. 

 Reviewers have noted that it helped with their hyper pigmentation, breakouts, and blackheads.

O.P.I - Guys and Galaxies - $7.00

I'm not much of a nail polish painting gal...but once in a while, I taste the nail polish rainbow.... well the rainbow is sort of black, red, and nude. Very boring right ? I'm trying to diversify my color spectrum but I really love black and nude colors, and the occasional red to brighten up my otherwise bland/amazing collection. I recently started looking for a color that was neither black or red, something festive! I found this color by O.P.I called - Guys and Galaxies from the OPI Starlight Collection Fall 2015, and I love it! Its looks like a shade of cranberry, and sometimes depending on the lighting it looks black, other times it looks red/purple. It is now part of my rainbow collection!

I walked into Whole Foods set on buying the weeks groceries and I found myself at the beauty aisle.. I usually don't go there unless I'm looking for my Witch Hazel (which does wonders for my face) or the bi-monthly Toms toothpaste purchase.. We had featured one of Nourish's products as a P.O.W last year and I was soo surprised to see them at Whole Foods! So I took a sneak peek smell at what they had and my gosh! by smelling all the fragrance collections they had for their body lotion, the Fresh Fig was by far my favorite!! and of course.. it was SOLD OUT.. but no worries.. we can buy them online.. they are 100% organic, and are USDA certified too.. Have you tried it ?

Mascaras are a great way to make your eyes pop after applying makeup, most especially with smokey eyes. It brings out the beauty of your eyelashes if applied correctly. My favorite is Benefits they're real mascara. I like the fact that after using the mascara, it looks like you added fake lashes to yours. That's the power of this mascara. Just by looking at the wand, you can tell this mascara does great wonders and its not too pricey for the wonders it does. There's also a smaller version for $10 you might want to try and see if it works for you before buying the bigger one for $23.

So I was doing some pre-labor day shopping and after I was tirelessly done walking across the mall looking for a certain store, I decided to just leave. On my way out, I came across a very unusual smell walking across the Victoria secret store. It was something I'd never smelled before. The scent was so welcoming as well as enticing. No wonder they put it close to the entrance to draw people in. tsk..tsk..tsk....marketing tactics. Anyway, I decided to go in and find out what the scent was and lo and behold, it was their new Eau So Sexy Perfume. I just couldn't express the love I had for this scent. It was like heaven sent. Something I've been waiting for all my life :) . It definitely doesn't have that regular perfume smell which turns me off from most perfumes. Its just sweet and nicely packaged. It contains Bergamot, paradise apple, and chantilly cream which makes it so sensual and OF COURSE, I got a roller ball to try it out and I must say, IT IS AMAAAAAAZING.

It's very new so its only sold at Victoria Secret at the moment.

A month ago, I came across this article on tips to look younger. To my surprise, I found out that its better to start using anti-aging products when you're younger than waiting till you get to your fifties or sixties. As a body shop fan, they HAD to be the first place I look to for a good product. On my quest to find the perfect and affordable anti-aging skin regimen, I came across this product. The Body Shop's Vitamin C Microdermabraison has proven to be really good to my skin. As of now, I cant tell any anti-ageing difference but I have noticed a few changes on my skin. My skin is more even toned and the blemishes disappear quicker with this product. Although, its for dull skin but its not too harsh on a sensitive and oily skin(which I have). Its also a great way to exfoliate as it has beads in them as well.

I use it once a week on my face and my neck in the mornings and then I moisturize.

Ever since I heard of parabens, I started looking for natural products that smelled good and worked perfectly. I found out about Korres while researching online. The product is 94.2% natural and has no parabens, silicones and has not been tested on Animals. I actually went to the store to smell all the scents and the best scent in my opinion is the Guava Scent. It is so smooth and smells amazing! I've been asked by so many people what perfume I was wearing and they are usually surprised when I tell them its a body butter. This is a rich, creamy,and thick lotion and I used it to the very last drop!

When it comes to face mist, La Roche-Posay is one of the best I've used. It hydrates my skin better than anything I've had and its works wonders. I don't believe I've read any bad reviews about this product. Yea, that's how GOOD it is. It's a French product and we all know how flawless french women's skin can be. My face has gotten better most especially with the blemishes.I usually use it once I hop out of the shower and moisturize after it dries up(which doesn't take long) and I do the same at night too. Most people use it as a setting spray after applying make-up but I've never tried it but I'm sure it works.

Looking for the best hand cream can be quite challenging. Most especially if you're in a profession that requires you to wash your hands all the time. So, I found this GREAT product that leaves my hands very soft and protects it from wrinkles, especially during dry winter months.
Hemp Hand Protector from the Body Shop has officially won my heart.
 Its paraben free, contains community trade hemp seed oil, and its very smooth on your hands.
It actually tasted sweet after sticking my finger in my mouth a couple of times, but PLEASE KIDS, DO NOT TRY IT AT HOME...:)
Buy it here
P.S: Its the #1 selling body shop product in the world so I guess it's worth  the buy.
