Get that NATURAL GLOW

Good Morning blog heads!

*Jergens Natural Glow product review*


Likes:

1. I like the packaging.

2. The products were pretty affordable.

3. You see results in a couple of days.

4. The smell of the product isn't too strong and over powering.

5. The lotion does give a "natural glow" to the skin.

6. The moisturizer didn't make me break out. WHEW!



Dislikes:


**Moisturizer**

1. I have dry skin and this product didn't help. I tried just putting this on and then my foundation. That didn't give me any type of mosture. It just made my skin feel dry and cracky. I tried doing that twice and I got the same results. So, when I use this product, I put JNG first and then my moisturizer after.


Tidbits:

1. If you want IMMEDIATE results, this product is not for you.

2. If you are looking to get darker, this isn't for you.

3. Make sure that you get the lotion/moisturizer that is right for your skin tone. Don't get "medium to tan" if you are light skinned.

4. If you have dry skin, I suggest you put a moisturizer on top of the face lotion.

5. I use these products every other day.

6. These products can be purchased at your local drug stores.








Hopefully, these products will work for all of you too.

Wow, I haven't been on this thing on a minute. The past month has been really hard. I've been going through some personal thangs in my life. Right now, I'm waiting for some info that could be life changing. If you have been following my twitter, you've seen that I've been bustin' my butt looking for a job. Hopefully, that will change soon, but I'm looking on the brightside. I'll try to start blogging more on a regular basis, but I'm always updating my twitter. So, enough of that sappy ish. haha..

MAC Mini Brush Review

Aloha blog world!




[Watching]:
Make Me A Supermodel



Likes:

1. The different colors the brushes come in.

2. They are great for traveling.



Dislikes:

1. The texture of the bristles don't feel like the regular sized MAC brushes.

2. The 187SE doesn't pick up as much product as the regular 187.

3. I feel like I wasted money on buying these brushes.



Tidbits:

Just because these are MAC brushes doesn't mean they have the same quality as the regular sized brushes. You can find cheaper brushes out there that will do a better job. Then again, if you love MAC and just need brushes to travel with then these are for you. I have one holiday set and the HK set. I don't plan on buying anymore of the travel sized brushes. I'd rather get another brand or save up to get the regular sized brushes.







Hopefully, you are all staying warm.


Stay blessed!

Make-up seminar

How'z it?

[Slappin]:
Bow Wow: You can get it all

I hope all of you had a great weekend! Anyhoo, did you hear about Enkore's make-up seminar? If you haven't heard about him he is an AWESOME make-up guru on youtube. He is a really great MUA. You end up learning a lot from his videos.

I'm excited, because it's in the bay. I live like an hour and a half from the location, but it's all good. The seminar is called "Mild to Wild". He is teaching a day time look and then a night time look. So, a look you can wear on the daily and a look you can glam up at night. This seminar is only $50 and I'm like that's dope for us who are BALLIN ON A BUDGET. haha..

I asked one of my bests to go with me and if she says no I'm about to go by myself. I really want to go to step up my make-up skills. Feel me? I'm not sure if it's before or after the seminar there will be a make-up sale. They will be selling products 20-60% off on NAME BRAND PRODUCTS. OH EM GEE!

So, I'll see yall there then. I might be shy to say hi to you if I recognize you from the blog or youtube world, but I'll definitely smile.

Here is the video if you want to check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rm5_wJvCK4

Hope yall are staying dry and warm.

Stay blessed!

SOFT ACHES?

Whud it do, boo?



[Slappin]:

Taio Cruz: Like A Star


Ladies, do you walk in heels all day? Are you dancer that could never be a foot model, because of the way your feet look? Have you ever wore the most UNCOMFY shoes to the club and by the end of the night yo feel really hurt?



Well, ladies and gents this is the product for you! I have been dancing for 9 years and my feet have been through it all. From, dancing on wooden floor each week to dancing on a volcano. Over the years, I have developed caluses on my feet. When I'd touch the side of my feet it would hurt really bad. It was SOOO not the BIDNASS! So, one day I was watching an infomercial about this product. I was skeptical about it and didn't know if I wanted to use it. Then last year, I was at Frys and there it was. Frys is an electronic store if you don't know what it is. So, I coped one and decided to try it out. This product is an inexpensive way to shave of your caluses.



Here are my results:



Likes:

1. The packaging is convienient and easy to travel with.

2. The clean-up isn't hard.

3. The results are instant.

4. This product was only $10!!



Dislikes:

ZIPPOLA!!



Directions:

1. Wash your feet.

2. Pat them dry with a towel.

3. Pull of cap.

4. Place metal side on the area you would like to get rid of.

5. Use an up and down motion toward the area. (I usually stop when my foot gets smooth.)

6. Put lotion on them so your feet will be soft.



Tid bit:

Don't pay attention to the commercial, because they EXAGERATE on how much you will shave off. So, don't be SCURRED when using it. You will only taking off a little bit from your foot. I think everyone should or just even try it. Make sure that you have a soft hand when using this product. Don't go crazy and be rough with your feet. I've seen this product at many different places now so go check your local drug store.







Oh, how I love you PEG EGG! haha..






Well, hopefully this helps someone out there in blog land. You'll be seeing posts like this from me. I'm a real female that has real issues, so I'm not afraid to let you know. Ya dig? Plus, I like helping people too. *smiles*



Hope all of you have a blessed week!

ECO TOOLS BRUSHES REVIEW

Hello dearies!



[Slappin]:
Lady Gaga: Paparazzi


A couple of weeks ago I went to Ulta. I haven't been in that store in a minute. I was looking for bargins, because I am BALLIN ON A BUDGET. I came across these brushes and decided to cop em.


Likes:

1. These brushes are friendly to the environment!! YAY!!

2. The bristles feel soft on my skin.

3. The brush itself is lightweight.

4. The set came with five brushes for $15. (Make sure you check out drug stores, because they might be cheaper there. =] )

5. There was no scent after I washed them.


Dislikes:

1. The eyebrow brush could be stiffer.


Overall, I really DIG these brushes. They are el cheapo, but they really work. I think these brushes would be great if you are just starting out with makeup. Yo, MAC brushes are not the only ones that can do the job. Or you can just these brushes if you are a brush lover like me.


I hope you enjoy these brushes as much as I do. These brushes also come with a place to hold your brushes.







Stay blessed!

MAC DOH?

Whud it do, boo?

[Slappin]:
MYMP: Only Reminds Me Of You

So, I was watching one of POWPOWBABY'S latest tutorials and she said that her little sister went to Mikey D's and got a Hello Kitty watch. If you haven't seen her youtube videos, she does amazing make-up tutorials. Go check her out! Anyhoo, I had to go see what all this watch hype was about. So, of course I went to Mickey D's and got a watch. They are too cute. I know the food is EVIL, but I had to get the watch. haha.. I might just go there to collect all the watches, because I'm wondering if the whole Sanrio characters are featured. Do you have any idea? I haven't had a Happy Meal in years and they used to be so cheap. I was thinking to myself PINKEY SWEAR it's almost 5 bucks now? UH UH.. I got HI-C, because I rarely drink soda now and that tasted like straight sugar water. HOLY HOT BOOGERS!

Aren't they cute?

Go to your local Mickey D's and get a Happy Meal. You'll add some fierceness to your wrist.
Hope your having a good day!
Be blessed!
