Beauty | A few tries of 2017

Image
The booster c powder has a strong smell, and sometimes made my face feel funny. Style Nanda products I would say were nothing special. I do really like the cushion though! My favorite nail color is still the burnt orange color that I purchased last year. These were buys from earlier in March this year.

Firsts | My First Dermatologist Appointment

Image
I finally became fed up with my adult acne and itchy/dry scalp , so I decided to make an appointment with a dermatologist covered under my health insurance. I was basically there for 10 minutes (mostly waiting). The doctor came in and a nurse took down notes. He took a little bit of a look at my scalp, and I explained how my pimples are random on my face, back, and chest. After explaining, he basically just prescribed me medicine and then said to follow up in a few months if it's not working. If it's working then come back in a year to renew the prescription. It was so much simpler than I thought it was going to be. It's been about two weeks and I would say it has already helped! So far I have not had any random pimples appear and my scalp has been a lot less itchy. Maybe it's just been all in my head, but I would say these products and tips have worked! Below is what the dermatologist prescribed me:  For my scalp , the doctor said it's most likely some so...

Beauty Review | Lush Shampoo Bar and Massage Bar Review

Image
My latest test drive with shampoo products has been Lush’s Shampoo Bar Soak and Float . My hair and scalp has be so dry due to this Minnesota winter weather. The description for Soak and Float is  " Sort out dry, itchy scalps. Sad, irritated scalps rejoice! We've got just the thing to soothe your troubles. We pack cade oil into this one to treat dry or angry scalps, leaving them feeling calm and relaxed. Rose oil works to soothe the scalp too, and also lends its heady aroma to this bar's sweet and smoky perfume. "  Their tag line did gave me high hopes that it was going to be a dry-scalp miracle shampoo, but it wasn't. Don't get me wrong though, I still loved the product! I've never used a shampoo bar before, but rubbing the soap-looking block onto my head gives such a nice head massage and the perfect lather.  Also, I'm not sure if it was just that many people used it in my family or if I didn't keep it packaged correctly but the shampoo ba...

Beauty | 16 Items I loved in 2016

Image
It's already the beginning of February, but thought I'd post 16 of my favorites from the previous year. It's a mix of beauty and just life items: 1.  Tarte eye lash curler My absolute favorite eye lash curler to get longer looking lashes. I actually heard about it because it was mentioned by Alexis Ren. So I decided to give it a try, and it's the absolute best! 2. Kat Von D eyeliner This eyeliner is the rage right now, and I would have to agree. It's such a smooth and easy application and it stays on ALL day! I have the mini version and the full, but the mini version is the best! I usually apply my makeup after I'm at the gym at my workplace, so it's nice to have this on-the-go eye liner in my tiny makeup bag. 3.  Sheet masks I have definitely seen a change in my complexion since starting to use sheet masks on a weekly basis. Sheet masks are also just so relaxing, and it gives me an excuse to sit around and cook eggs for breakfast the next d...

Beauty | Stylenanda Haul

Image
Stylenanda advertised their free worldwide shipping on any purchase on Instagram last week and I just couldn't resist myself from buying something. I've been wanting to try their products ever since I heard about the company last year. I decided to get some of the basics:        Some sunnies, earrings, lip stain, nail polish, and brow liner. I'm already loving all of the products! The sunglasses fits asian faces very well and feel really sturdy. The lip stain goes on nicely and the color pops out immediately! It's a different sort of applicator than I'm use to, but it's really nice. The color Obsessed is the perfect shade of red for my skin tone. It's long lasting and barely smudges. I've been seeing this type of earring all over social media, so I'm excited to wear them out. I feel like they are simple and elegant, yet edgy.    The nail color is so pretty. The picture below is with only one coat on and that is all that...
