Pixi T-zone Peel Off Mask Review

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog. Today I am doing a skincare review of a product I’ve been testing out for a while.

Overview:

• Cruelty free!
• Price: $22
• 1.25 fl. Oz of product

Promises:

• Instantly detoxifies by drawing out impurities & removing excess oil
• Helps firm & refine
• Contains natural ingredients rich in antioxidants (From the Target website)

This peel off mask is nice, it does exfoliate my skin where I use it on my face. I do think it helped unclog my pores a little bit, but by no means does it do that much for my face, it doesn’t get rid of blackheads or anything drastic.

b.liv Hydrating Bubble Mask Review

Hello guys! We are so excited to review this face mask, bubble masks have been trendy lately and so we got together and tried out the b.liv 02 Bubbly Bright Face Mask!

(these products were gifted to us, but all opinions remain our own)

Overview:

• $39 US, 50g of product
• Oxygen bubble/foam mask for brightening and purifying.
• This brand is ‘pending’ on Logical Harmony for their cruelty free status.

Promise: purifying mask that combines oxygen bubble and rice powder to brighten and enliven complexion. (From b.liv’s website, not an affiliate link)

Before:

Christine said her skin looked kind of dull and Hailey said her skin was a little bit uneven with redness and dull as well.

Sonage Berry Stem Cell Face Mask Review

Hello guys! Today I am going to do a skincare review. I know we don’t talk about skincare a lot on our blog, but we are going to start doing more reviews because both Christine and I do face masks at least once a week!

Today I’m going to review the Sonage Patagonia Berry Stem Cell Face Mask!

Overview:

• Natural and cruelty free brand!
• Supposed to work best on dry skin
• Price: $48 (which is pretty expensive!)

Promise: Antioxidant-rich intensely hydrating face mask helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Cream-textured stem cell technology leaves skin polished and visibly brighter. (from their website)

The packaging is really sturdy, it’s a glass jar with a nice lid, you could probably take this traveling and be fine, it wouldn’t break. The scent is definitely present, if you are super sensitive to fragrance, then I would recommend you smell it in store and see if it will bother you, it smells sort of like berry medicine. Personally, it didn’t bother me much at all.

It comes out purple, it isn’t a completely smooth texture, it has some small granules which work as a scrub when you take it off and it will leave your face very soft and polished. I did find that my skin looked very radiant for a day or so after, but as far as hydrating, I couldn’t see much of a difference. I would still use this for a light exfoliation and to make my skin brighter, it did my skin look lovely, just not as hydrated as I had expected. I think if you wanted anything super hydrating, and that is the sole reason you would purchase this, there are better options, my favorite is the Dr. Hauschka Hydrating mask! I don’t know what it did for wrinkle reduction because I’m seventeen and don’t have any yet!

Swatch:

Its this super pretty purple color when it comes out of the jar and it dries this shade as well.

Pros:

• Light exfoliation
• will leave your skin bright
• feels nice on the face
• good packaging, good brand ethics, etc.
• All natural (which is a huge bonus)

Cons:

• It is quite expensive
• Not as hydrating as I was expecting
• Kind of a strange scent

Overall I would say, if you are willing to spend some money on a nice mask and you want  radiance out of this mask, it is a good choice. If you are looking for something that is super hydrating and brightening, I think you could find a better option on the market!

Mini Makeup/Haircare/Skincare Haul

Hello guys! Welcome back to our blog, I recently went shopping and I wanted to show you what I got. I have managed to curb my makeup spending but unfortunately I went a little bit nuts with my skincare!

Makeup:

Juice beauty stem cellular CC cream – this is a repurchase for me, I love this so much! Unfortunately the price on this went up fourteen dollars since I last repurchased which is nuts, so this might have to be my last tube!

Vapour beauty halo illuminator – this is a gorgeous little stick illuminator that I’m excited to try. This brand also has amazing ethics so I’m happy to support them!

Mini Haul of Makeup and Skincare

Hello guys! Lately I’ve been picking up a couple of things skincare wise, I’m saving up for some high end skincare and needed some minis to tide me over. I also could not resist trying out some of the NYX lippies that are cult favorites so here is what I bought.

Makeup: 

NYX butter gloss in the shade creme Brulee – This was to replace my laura geller lip gloss that I finished! I am so excited to try these glosses because I haven’t heard a bad review.

NYX soft matte lip cream in the shade Milan – I also wanted to try this formula because these are cult favorites. Milan looked like it would be lighter but it is super bright so I might exchange this one!

Updated Skincare Routine for Dry Skin

Hello everyone! I did a post like this a wayyy long time ago and I think it is most definitely time for an update. I have almost completely switched everything I use so let’s get into it!

Nightly:

1. Bareminerals Eye Makeup Remover

I love this, its oil based and really does get off your mascara and eyeshadow easily. I am almost out actually!

2. Neutrogena cleansing oil

This is my second step to removing all of my makeup, I like to make sure there is nothing left on my face, since I use a lot of SPF.  It leaves your skin feeling really fresh and hydrated afterward.

3. Neutrogena Purifying Cream Cleanser or Organic Surge Perfecting Face Polish

Fall face mask.

Dont you just hate how dried up your face can get during the fall?
I know I do. But there is a magic solution to this!
