St.Ives Apricot Wash > Chocolate



I'm just going to say it. St.Ives Apricot Scrub is better than chocolate. And man, I love me some chocolate.


I have been using the St.Ives scrubs/cleansers since highschool. Every once in a while I switch it up and try something new but nothing I've used so far has even come close to giving me the results I get with St.Ives. Right now I use the 'Blemish Fighting Apricot Cleanser' and it is fabulous for my 20-something year old, acne prone, combination skin type. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean and keeps away blemishes. I get compliments all the time on my "glowy skin".One of the best things about this product is its value. You can get it from any drugstore for about $4.


I've also use the 'Blemish and Blackhead Control Apricot Scrub' and it is amaze as well. The scrub is more of an exfolient but I had no problems using it daily. I also like to use the scrub on my body because it makes my skin super soft.


I def encourage you all to give this product a try. Your skin will thank me.

Hot Tools 1" Curling Iron

So, to start off: LOVVVE it. I have been having such a problem finding a curling iron that actually gives me curls that last throughout the day. I am so excited that when I use this iron (in combo with BigSexyHair Spray& Stay hairspray) my curls withstand the hottest, most humid Alabama summer days. They also come in pretty colors (I got a pink one) and they are decently priced, $40ish.


I bought mine from Ulta (God's gift to women).... but I'm sure you can find them lots of other places.

Lash Blast Fusion Mascara = No Bueno.

In basically every beauty magazine I've opened this year there has been a recomendation to use CoverGirl's Lash Blast Fusion(the one in the purple tube) because it's supposed to be the best thing since the invention of the internet. "It volumizes". "It lengthens". WRONG. It sucks! I might as well of left my lashes naked. Don't be fooled by the hype. This is a waste of your hard-earned moolah!

CoverGirl does offer a great mascara that is actually cheaper than the Lash Blast line. Covergirl Professional Super Thick Lash Mascara (in a red tube) is the bomb. It makes my lashes full and perfect and doesn't clump. AND it's one of the cheapest mascaras available.

this lipstick is completely AMAZE. i have been looking for the perfect nude lipcolor for ages. it looks perfect with a bold eye and is very long lasting.





note:i also tried on the lipglass version at the mac counter.... not so hot.





100% of the profits from this lipstick go towards the MAC AIDS fund. it's basically like getting a treat for your donation!
