Literally fresh out the box 📦: @cosrx The Vitamin C Serum. I have not been this excited about a #vitaminc serum in a very long time. Review coming soon!

Do you have a vitamin C serum in your #skincareroutine?

My skin is absolutely broken out right now, so I’m adding Aveeno Daily Cleansing Exfoliating Face Pads back to my PM Skincare Routine. These facial pads contain salicylic acid to fight acne and soy extract to calm, leaving me with radiant skin. Aveeno Daily Cleansing Exfoliating Face Pads retail $7.99 and you can pick these up at Walgreens, Walmart or Amazon.

What’s your favorite cleanser for acne breakouts?

I cannot tell you the last time I bought a bottle

I cannot tell you the last time I bought a bottle of nail polish. Normally, I’m a hardcore @essie stan but I had an #Amazon giftcard laying around and I’ve seen @ilnp’s holographic polishes and said this is my chance. So from left to right, Sunny Days, Sandy Baby and Juliette, which I lowkey regret getting because it looks to be a close dupe for a @kbshimmer polish I have but it’s cool cause it’s like 3 years old and getting thick. I purposely got Sunny Days because I love a nice neon for my pedis! Ring holder made by me.

Giving @lancomeofficial Lash Idôle Mascara a test

Giving @lancomeofficial Lash Idôle Mascara a test spin. What do you think? Not overly dramatic, but I did love the definition. I’m more invested in definition than having dramatic lashes. ❤️

Yes, I’m still on my foundation journey 😂. This is Set E: Medium from the Sephora Foundation Try at home kit. There are 14 shades from 6 different brands that include @sephora @iliabeauty @toofaced @fentyskin @lauramercier and @rarebeauty. Out of this set, I only found 1 perfect match. That means I am going to also swatch and review the alternate set that I purchased: Medium Tan. A full review of Set E coming soon.

Can you guess which shade matched?

I have been addicted to @sephora’s sampler sets

I have been addicted to @sephora’s sampler sets since 2013. I have secretly wished for a way to try foundation at home before I buy for a very long time. Finally, that day has come.

Sephora Favorites Foundation Try On At Home features 14 foundation samples from @fentybeauty @iliabeauty @lauramercier @sephora @toofaced and @rarebeauty in my shade range. I grabbed set D & E.

This sample set also comes with a voucher for $10 off a full sized foundation.

I’m really excited to try play with my foundation sets and find my perfect shade. Has anyone else tried this yet?

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

My @ruthandgem haul 🍃and review Ruth&Gem Home

My @ruthandgem haul 🍃and review

Ruth&Gem Home Goods is a black woman-owned company that offers luxury scents and home goods to bring the Caribbean to any room of your home. The moment I saw her advertising on Twitter, I had to grab my wallet. Y’all know how I feel about candles 🕯

Ruth&Gem gets five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ across the board for product offerings, customer service, shipping packaging and communication.

Ruth & Gem Discovery Set ($15) is a great way to try all the core scents without committing to a full sized candle just yet. The scents include Tabanca, Rum Shop, Guava & White Tea, Robusto, Soursop Cream and Wood & Water. They are 0.5oz in size. I’ll circle back with a review of just this, as I definitely had some favorites in the bunch.

Moods From Home Set ($55) features a 6.7oz candle scent of your choice, a stainless steel gold candle care kit, and the cutest 100% canvas tote bag. I picked the Tabanca and I made an excellent choice. Tabanca has notes of mango, grapefruit and sandalwood.

Visit @ruthandgem for more details and to order some goodies! Have you tried Ruth & Gem? What scent would you love to try?

#PURandsimple #complimentary Check out my @purcosmetics haul thanks to @influenster. Here’s what I got:

🌿 PUR 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 is a lightweight, medium coverage foundation that can be used as foundation, concealer, powder and SPF. While I wouldn’t solely rely on this as a SPF, it would go great on top of the SPF you apply during your #skincareroutine

🌿PUR 4-in-1 Sculpting Concealer covers imperfections and brightens the skin. I love the packaging on this concealer. No twist cap! You just push a button and it opens!

🌿PUR Fully Charged Mascara Powered by Magnetic Technology is one of the best mascaras that I have tried in a long time. It builds effortlessly so I can wear it for a natural look or build for all out glam!

Have you tried anything from PUR? #makeuptutorial #makeup #veganmakeup

How to smell great for bedtime: buy a fragrance discovery set from @sephora, use your voucher for a bottle of @chloe. Then all of a sudden BOOM! Your local friend @thehausoflune drops a skincare line featuring body oils and the rose one smells AMAZING and you pair it with the Chloé and now you smell like the goddess of love ❤️

Easy….

You know what we don’t talk about enough? How to graduate from one product to the next. What do you do when you want to upgrade from a basic skincare staple to something more advanced? Or maybe even luxurious? Keep reading.

@deciem did oily skinned girls a solid when they dropped the AHA 30% BHA 2% Peeling Solution. All you need is one application a week to control oil, exfoliate and brighten skin. Obviously this is not the only product of its kind, so which product do you upgrade to?

@beekman1802 Milk Mud Warming Clay Mask. It controls oil and exfoliates but there are some added benefits

✨Contains goats milk to nourish skin
✨A thick, clay based formula for easier, drip free application
✨Natural jojoba beads for mechanical exfoliation
✨Chamomile & comfrey to calm

You sticking beside Deciem? Or upgrading to something more luxurious for your weekly exfoliating mask? Talk to me in the comments! ⁣
