I've got soul but I'm not a soldier...

This mask, y'all. I ordered it from Amazon a while ago. I have good skin. At least on my face. I've never needed acne treatment and any skin problems I've had have been easily resolved with adjusting my face wash and moisturizer routine. Currently I use SebaMed face wash twice daily and CeraVe with SPF during the day and without at night. I usually add a few drops of generic argan oil if I feel drier than normal. I do like to use the occasional mask to clear out my pores. It makes my face clearer and my makeup apply more smoothly.  The Elizavecca Milky Piggy Foaming Bubble Mask leaves my face feeling clean and my pores clearer. It's also really fun to use. You apply the mask then it foams and you massage to foam on your skin to clean more effectively. It smells pleasant and the foaming sensation is tingly but not uncomfortable. Make sure you apply it with a brush or gloves or something though because the extra contact with your hands will ...

I pocked these up at Target because I had some Cartwheel coupons. After a few weeks of use I can say the shampoo is fantastic. It leaves your hair clean without weighing it down. Unfortunately the conditioner isn't heavy enough for damaged or color treated hair so I usually have to use a leave in conditioner spray after. The shampoo and conditioner together do work well to clarify if used intermittently between other shampoos. They also smell fantastic and I do use them whenever my hair feels heavy from product buildup.  The ELF skincare is great for the price point. I'm not sure if it's scented but if it is the smell isn't strong. I loved the serum and used it up quickly. The eye cream and face cream work well but it wasn't hydrating enough for me. It might work better for someone with combination or oily skin.  The ELF beauty blender is excellent. I've used it many times and I love it. It works incredibly well and is much cheaper than the n...

I ordered a three-pack of Alaffia unscented  African Black Soap  after reading an article on  xoJane . The author sung it’s praises, and one of the best parts was how inexpensive it is (3 for $10). I got my soap in the mail and used it for a few weeks. It says it’s unscented, but it does have a slight earthy smell. It’s nothing offensive, nor does the scent linger on your skin, but it does have a smell. The bar itself looks like mud. It’s not at all clean looking. The soap is relatively soft for bar soap, and will dissolve if left in water and it may leave residue on your bath or shower ledge. With exposure to water it is easily applied to a bath pouf or wash cloth and is noticeable. The brown color doesn’t disappear. The suds are still a little brown.  It lathers very well, producing a ton of bubbles, and it feels good on the skin. I’ve used it both on my face and my body. It leaves your skin “squeaky clean”. I always apply lotion after showering. Always. At ...

Argan oil! I am in love with this stuff. The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil  smells amazing and is good for hair and body. I have the  solid  and it makes a great cuticle oil. The label says not to use on the face but I may have already done that... I might grab a few items the next time I’m near a Body Shop because I really just want to smell like this all the time.  The Josie Maran Argan Oil Light  is a liquid and has no smell and can be used all over, including the face. It’s super effective at getting rid of flakes and dry patches. It also plumps wrinkles and improves skin elasticity. The “Light” version is different from  normal Argan Oil , it sinks into skin faster and dries with no extra shine, but from what I can tell it is missing some of the skin repairing properties of regular Argan Oil. I like to use the liquid on my brows and lashes because it can help them grow and my eyebrows need all the help they can get. You can either add a few drops ...

I received a coupon courtesy of Influenster to try one full size item from the C.Booth Body Care line. It took a few attempts before I could find a store that stocked the products but I was so excited when I found the products at Ulta. I thought I had seen the products at Wal-Mart and Walgreen's in the past but it seems they only carry them online now. C.Booth makes body butter, dry oil mist, bath and body wash, bath shower and hair wash, bath and body oil, body souffle, a variety of scrubs, and a 4-in-1 lotion that promises to hydrate, exfoliate, nourish, and firm. The products are paraben, sulfate, mineral oil, and petrolatum free which I appreciate. They are also inexpensive with all items being less than $10. So they are budget friendly AND body friendly. Each item comes in a variety of scents and I chose the Honey Almond. I really wanted to try the Mimosa Honeysuckle but they didn't have any in stock. All of the products looked promising but I thought body butter would...
