One of the things I love most about Instagram is its ability to connect people. I recently came in contact with a wonderful person named Daniela who introduced me to her product line, Belmondo Skin Care. I’m always on the lookout for unique small businesses particularly in the green beauty space, and I was really …

August Beauty Breakdown
Hi Friends! In an effort to streamline this site a little bit, I’ve decided to combine all of my monthly beauty posts into one large beauty post each month. All of my beauty box reviews and product reviews will now be in one place! The first order of business this month is to talk about …

Philosophy Purity Made Simple 3 in 1 Cleanser This product was average at best to me. I usually like thicker cleansers but this one felt really thick and hard to remove. I also really didn’t like the smell. My skin felt smooth and clean after using it, but there are too many other cleansers out …

Huda Beauty Classic Lashes in Samantha First of all, I’m new to lashes (full breakdown about that on an upcoming post) so my lash expertise is still that of an amateur. When I apply lashes, I really prefer a natural look and for me, these were much to dramatic. Even though these are classified as …

Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover This product is good as far as traditional makeup removers are concerned. I don’t usually use this type of a product, I much prefer the lighter but effective feeling of a micellar water. This is definitely a longstanding classic, but isn’t a great fit for me personally.

Since we already talked about subtle and gradual tanners, I am now moving into traditional, fast acting self tanners. I’ve had a lot of experience with …

This month I opted to receive the clean box with all green, healthy brands. Derma E Overnight Peel with AHAs I didn’t have high hopes for this product but I was extremely surprised at how effective it is. There is a slight stinging feeling when you first apply it, but it doesn’t last long. The …
Korres Calm & Glow Trio Review
I’ve loved the brand Korres for years but for some reason I feel like it often gets forgotten and overlooked. I recently received a Sephora reward that was a trio of Korres products called Calm & Glow. These were products that I tried in the past, but never all at once. These products were selected …

Glamglow Thirsty Mud Hydrating Treatment ThirstyMud is a mask that moisturizes, restores and calms the skin. It also features Hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin, HydraPack and GreenEnergy to smooth and energize your skin. Overall I think this is a nice product. It does leave my skin feeling soft and hydrated, but there is …

Tarte Babassu Foundcealer Skincare Foundation SPF 20 I can’t fairly review this product because the color was so off, I couldn’t really try it the way I wanted to. I think the concept of the product is promising, and I like how thick it is for those days when you really want coverage. Unfortunately the …
