The Great Mascara Debate

 Hello Beauties!

Are you anything like us? Do you love mascara but have not quite found that perfect one? Do you use more than one brand or type to achieve the look you desire? Do you use one for lengthening and then another for volume? Have you found the perfect one? When it comes to mascara do you get what you pay for? Does mascara need to cost a small fortune to work correctly? Cheap or expensive? One or several? Let us know Beauties, we would love to hear your opinion on the great mascara debate.

Skin Care Products- Honey and Cinnamon

Ok Beauties, here is a posting about the home remedy I'm currently using as part of my skin care routine. I'm talking about honey and cinnamon! Yes you heard it right! I wash my face with a regular face wash and then mix up a bowl of cinnamon and honey. All I do is apply it on my face and let it sit for 20 mins. then rinse it off with water or wipe it off with a wash cloth. I'm not telling you this for you to go out and buy it, right this minute..I'm just telling you what has helped me.
This will pull the impurities out of your skin which may cause your skin to breakout more, but it clears up very fast.
I absolutely love this and continue to keep using it everyday.
Enjoy your day, Beauties! Xoxo

Beauty Find- Sephora Lip stain

 

 

Hello Beauties!


Sephora Lip stain 01

A fantastic product from Sephora, Always Red cream lip stain. This lip stain goes on very smooth and lasts a long time. If you let it dry on your lips it does not come off very easily and dries to a matte finish. Always Red 01 also seems to brighten your teeth. I call it my signature red. It really makes your lips look amazing. Sephora currently has ten different shades, some of them are matte while others have a satin finish. All of them contain avocado oil and vitamin E. I do not recommend putting a gloss over this lip stain because it loses it's staying power. Worn alone or with a lip liner it's great. It can be purchased at your local Sephora or their online website. The price is $12.00, that may seem a little high but it lasts for a long time. Enjoy Beauties!

XOXO

Beauty Find- Loreal Magic BB Cream

Hello Beauties!

  L'OrealMagic Skin Beautifier BB Cream

It is a unanimous yes on this product. It's fantastic! It looks kind of strange when you first squeeze it onto the top of your hand to apply it has a gritty feel and comes out looking white, so your initial reaction is that it will be too light. The grittiness is the color pigment encapsulated in tiny beads. As you apply it to your face they dissolve and the color is revealed. We both choose to use our finger tips to apply it. You could also use a foundation brush or sponge, whatever works best for you. It feels very smooth and covers evenly. This BB cream has 4 beautifying capabilities in 1. It primes, corrects, hydrates, and perfects. We both Love it in medium! The price, at $7.99 is very reasonable as well. It can be purchased at your local drug store, Target, or Walmart and of course on line.

XOXO Beauties!

Natural Remedies- Manuka Honey

Hello Beauties!

Several days ago my husband was very sick. He had a fever, his hand was swollen, joints hurting, and could not move his fingers. All of these ailments were due to a severe cat bite. Never in our wildest dreams would we think that these symptoms could occur from a cat bite. As you can see in the top picture his hand was very red, swollen, and infected. First we tried  soaking his hand in Epsom salts and adding lavender oil. In the past we have healed a lot with lavender oil. This time it did not seem to be enough.

I kept pondering about his injury and wondering what else we could do for it. I was scanning through my Facebook page and just a few posts down there was a picture talking about this honey named Manuka. On the post it was stated that this particular type of honey was the highest natural antibiotic out there. I immediately felt that it was the answer we had been looking for. I began researching the benefits and searched for a location in which to purchase it. We found a couple of places.  Nature's Finest carries it and the cost  is around $35.00. I know that sounds like a lot for honey but can you really put a price on a loved ones health?

After the honey was purchased we had him eat a table spoon of it and then used a sterile spoon to smear some on his wounds. We then dressed it with a gauze pad and medical tape. He slept with it on his hand throughout the night. When we first put they honey on his hand he could barely move his fingers. The very next morning swelling had gone down. He was no longer running a fever and he could wiggle his fingers. He has continued to not only ingest the honey but also put it on his hand for the past few days. As you can see from the second picture his hand is doing very well and all the other symptoms are gone.

There are so many uses for this amazing honey. I spoke to the woman at the store about it and she said that everyday they are discovering more and more uses and ailments being cured by this Manuka honey. I am not a medical professional and do not claim to be. I just know that this home remedy worked extremely well for my husband.

Water Detox

Hello Beauties,

My sister and I have decided to detox our bodies in a healthy way using fruits and vegetables. We will be drinking this water for the next 10 days. We found a very delicious recipe online. It will be listed at the bottom of this page. 

 Drinking water will help flush out toxins out of your body and keep you energized so that it  can perform at it’s best.  Drinking water will also keep your body clean and allow all of your organs to work properly instead of working overtime to keep it going. Water will help to keep your skin healthy.

 Here is the recipe:

• 1/2 gallon water
• 1 grapefruit, sliced (can substitute with one lemon)
• 1 tangerine, sliced (can substitute with orange)
• 1 large cucumber, sliced
• 10-20 peppermint leaves
• Ice - as much as you like

Directions

Rinse grapefruit, tangerine, cucumber and peppermint leaves. Slice cucumber, grapefruit, and tangerine (or peel). Combine all ingredients in a half gallon pitcher. Allow ingredients to sit as long as possible for maximum benefits. Drink throughout the day and made a new pitcher everyday.

Stir & Enjoy!

Skin Care Products- Organic Coconut Oil

Hello Beauties,



A very healthy and amazing product that we have found is coconut oil. Not only can you cook with it but it is also great for your skin. Carrie and I both use it on a daily basis as a moisturizer. We absolutely Love it! You can purchase a bottle of organic virgin coconut oil at Trader Joe's for $5.99. For that price you can afford to keep a bottle in your bathroom and kitchen.
If you have any advice, tips, or comments (and please keep them positive) feel free to share.

Enjoy our Blog, pass it on. :)
