Tony Moly I'm Real Sheet Mask Review

I have wanted to try one of the Tony Moly I'm Real Sheet Masks for a while now, and thanks to Ipsy, I got to try one tonight. I used the Green Tea Skin Purifying mask. The scent when I opened it was so nice. It was strong but it smelled so good! The sheet was nice and thick and covered very well with essence. I had a bit of fit issues but finally got it to lay down ok. Then I just layed back and read for the next half hour. It was so relaxing. I took it off after 30 mins and then rubbed the essence in. My face feels so nice afterwards. It feels very cool. Overall I really enjoyed this mask! It gets a thumbs up from me!

Petaluma and Co Skinion Nopal Cactus Gel Cream

I received Petaluma and Co Skinion Nopal Cactus Gel Cream free in exchange for my honest review from 08liter.com. To be honest I was pretty confused as to what this is for. The packaging is all in korean and there isn't much information on the internet about it. From what I could piece together, this can be used similar to aloe. It can soothe burned or overheated skin. It can be used as an all over moisturizer. It can even be used on your face to lock in moisture. I  used it on my face after I masked. It left a weird, tight feeling on my hands but my face looks and feels firm and supple. My final thoughts on this product is that there really needs to be more information on this product, especially in english. I enjoyed the way I used the product but I wish I knew more about it.

Real Solution Tencel Sheet Mask

I received a Real Solution Tencel Sheet Mask by MISSHA free for review from 08liter.com. I received the Propolis mask. This is the vitalizing mask and uses a hydro gel. When I opened the package, there was a very faint scent. It was just a clean smell similar to aloe. The mask, when I pulled it out, was very thick with gel and difficult to open as it was a bit slippery. One  side of the mask did have more gel than the other so I put the more gelatinous side on my face. The fit was quite nice. The mask did move a little bit during my twenty minute relaxation time. Once I removed the mask, there was still quite a bit of gel on my face left. The instructions were to gently pat until absorbed. I patted for a loooong time. It takes a while for this stuff to absorb. When all is said and done, my face feels absolutely fabulous!! I'm sitting here typing this and trying so hard to resist just feeling how soft my face is. It's not tacky or squeaky, just soft and supple. I love this mask!!

Magic Straight Hair Shampoo for Men

I received from 08liter.com free for review this Hair Mother Cellar Magic Straight Shampoo for men. I was so excited because as you can see, my boyfriend has absolutely beautiful hair. He loves everything about this product. The smell reminds us of a citrus/mint/bamboo combo. After just a few uses, his hair is shinier and more manageable. I do recommend this product.#HAMOCELL #MagicStraightShampooForMen #TheHairMotherCellar #ShampooForMen #ForCurlyHair #08L

International Delight One Touch Latte Review

I received a coupon for a full sized International Delight One Touch Latte free for review from Crowdtap. None of the stores in my small town carried this product but I was able to snag one in my favorite flavor, Caramel, at the Wal-Mart in the next town over. This creamer was the neatest stuff! After you brew your coffee, you leave a bit of room in your cup and then you squirt the creamer into your cup and it foams up on the top creating a coffeehouse style latte. It's really yummy too!! I like my coffee a little sweeter so I did add another International Delight creamer to my cup for some more sweetness but over all I was absolutely delighted!

 Being able to make the perfect cup of coffee at home is always so much better than running to the local coffee shop. By being able to make my own latte at home, I have more time to spend with my loved ones, more time to get things done at home, more time to enjoy my coffee while it is fresh, and I save a lot of money. Let's admit it, those coffee shops can get pretty expensive. So, yeah, ya'll should certainly go try out the International Delight One Touch Latte creamers

!! They are wonderful!!!

Dunkin Donuts Creamer Review

I received a coupon for a full sized bottle of Dunkin Donuts International Delight free for review from Crowdtap. The flavors were limited at my small town grocery store. I really wanted the caramel flavor but since we didn't have that flavor available, I chose vanilla. This creamer is delicious. It is creamy and very flavorful. It is certainly thicker/creamier than other creamers I have come across. I truly enjoy it. Being able to make the perfect cup of coffee at home is always so much better than running to the local coffee shop. By being able to #MakeItPerfect at home, I have more time to spend with my loved ones, more time to get things done at home, more time to enjoy my coffee while it is fresh, and I save a lot of money. Let's admit it, those coffee shops can get pretty expensive. So, yeah, ya'll should certainly go try out the Dunkin Donuts creamers!! They are wonderful!!!

SoSakuri Surprise Box

A few weeks ago, I entered a Freebie Friday giveaway on Instagram to win a Mystery Box. This giveaway was held by sosakuri. I was super excited to find out the next day that I had won! A short time later, the mail lady left the package in my mail box. Well, she stuffed it in there. We had to cut the box open while it was in the mailbox and then pull everything out and then wrestle the box out. My mail lady is something else lol. 

I was so shocked to find that the surprise box was filled with jewelry. And it had gorgeous jewelry in it! Each piece feels very well made and of great quality. Yall go visit her at SoSakuri.com. She can also be found on Instagram under sosakuri.

Orange Date Cake Tea

About a week ago I won a giveaway held by Lauren (@lbd_steepedtea on Instagram) for an infuser and a bag of tea. I was over the moon as I had won a sample of tea from her before in the flavor Citrus Mint Sangria, and it was delicious, so I was super excited to get to try another of Steeped Tea's teas. She asked me if there was a particular flavor I wanted to try and I told her to surprise me. She surprised me in the best of ways. She sent me a Fruit Tea called Orange Date Cake. It has dates, cardamon, orange bits, currants and other yumminess in it.

Upon sipping my first cup of tea, which I brewed hot, I certainly noticed the orange. A rush of cinnamon came in after I finished my sip. It was so good! I am now drinking a second cup that I also brewed hot and I added a vanilla creamer to. It is Vanilla Orange creamy goodness!! I want to brew some for an iced tea as well and add some oranges to. That would be so refreshing. Lauren picked a perfect flavor! I am excited to soon order some Apple Mango Sangria tea and there are so many other yummy sounding flavors!! Steeped Tea is a tea addicts dream!!!

Please get in contact with Lauren for more information about Steeped Tea. She can be reached at the above Instagram or on Facebook: Lauren's ParTEA - Happiness one STEEP at a time! She has many clever and yummy ways to use teas such as in dips and cookies. Apparently tea is not just for drinking!!

Dead Sea Minerals Killed My Dragon Skin!!

I battle with dry, scaly skin on my face. It's very frustrating and I have recently realized I need to be more vigilant with my skin care. I have been purchasing one or two face care items at a time because funds are extremely limited. My first facial moisturizer was a thumbs down and we won't even mention it. I have done a couple of sheet masks that I have reviewed and they were nice, but I still had scales. Tuesday I went to Dollar General with my boyfriend for a few items that we needed for the house. I walked over to the beauty section to see if they had any sheet masks that looked interesting. I didn't see any sheet masks but I did see a Dead Sea Mineral Anti-Stress Clay Face Mask (Not the Freeman's one). I thought anything that is anti-stress is worth trying so I went ahead and picked up the last three they had. I also picked up a new moisturizer that I will be reviewing later.

 So last night after my shower, I exfoliated with my St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I then went ahead and used the Dead Sea Minerals mask. It was blue!! It was my first time ever using a clay mask so I was quite tickled with the whole process. It felt so weird!! It didn't really have any kind of smell to it. There was really no sensations until later when it started to dry and then I could feel a tightening of my face that wasn't unpleasant at all. The instructions said to relax and allow the mask to dry. I felt fun and silly with a blue face so instead, I took a bunch of Snapchat pics, and posted on Instagram and Twitter and Facebook. I loved it. It was a fun experience for me. 

Once it was dry, I wet a washrag with warm water and began wiping it off. And then I rinsed my wash rag, and then I wiped some more, and then rinsed, and then wiped, and repeat....lol. It was a long, blue process. After I finally got all the blue off my face I gently patted dry my face with a clean towel. I didn't notice any dry patches. I touched my face. Oooooh...It felt so smooth!!! Then I put on my Elf Cosmetics Illuminating Eye Cream and my new moisturizer. I touched my face again. Ohmygoodness!! I was in face texture heaven!!! My face hasn't felt this nice and smooth in so long. I almost cried. It's the next morning as I'm writing this and I've washed my face and applied my eye cream and moisturizer for the day and my face is still baby smooth. I am so impressed. I'm very glad I have two more of these masks because I will certainly be using them. Now I have to stock up on some more.

 I am disappointed that I cannot find a website for them directly to give them credit. I posted a link above where they can be purchased. I bought mine at Dollar General. They were $1 each. You really cant go wrong with that. And there was enough product in the package that you could probably do two masks if you want to do masks with a friend. I highly recommend this product!!

YesTo Coconut or CocoNOT?

Last Monday I tried out YesTo Cucumbers Soothing Calming Paper Mask. I completely enjoyed it. So my super amazing boyfriend went and got me another one and picked me up another "flavor" of the YesTo masks. Today I gave YesTo Coconut Hydrate & Restore ultra hydrating Paper Mask a try. The scent was very subtle yet certainly very nice and coconutty. I applied it, sat back and relaxed for the next 10 minutes. It was very enjoyable. No burning or irritation. My face was very red when I removed the mask. Much redder than when I removed the cucumber mask. The redness all faded away after about 30 minutes or so. Overall it was a nice mask. The only gripe I had with it is that it didn't seem to be any more hydrating than the cucumber mask. I will give it another try and see if I feel any different about it. YesTo products can be found at Ulta, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, or your local drug store. Also, here is YesTo's website  for more information about the brand and products they offer. 

Cool as a Cucumber!!

My super duper awesome bestest ever boyfriend bought me my first sheet mask upon my request today!! It was the YesTo Cucumbers Soothing Calming Paper Mask. I enjoyed this face mask. It was cooling and it smelled very nice. I applied it, closed my eyes and sat back to relax. I didn't have any problems with irritation. After ten minutes or so I simply removed it and rubbed in the leftover residue and then went about my business. My face was a little red afterwards, but my face is always red. I plan on trying the coconut one next because I need moisturizing products the most. These cucumber masks would be great to keep in the fridge in the summer for those days when you just need to cool off. I need to stock up now because, yeah, state of Georgia! Yes To products can be found at Ulta, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon, or your local drug store. Also, here is YesTo's website  for more information about the brand and products they offer. 

Cure For My Dragon Skin?

I have some pretty dry skin, especially in the winter. I call this my "Dragon Skin." The Olay Ultra Moisture with Shea Butter body wash really replenished my thirty skin without leaving that oily film that some other moisturizing body washes can do. The smell is just fresh and clean and very pleasant. I thoroughly enjoyed using this body wash and I plan on picking up a full sized bottle soon. Maybe I can keep the dragon skin at bay with regular use! I received a free sample of Olay Ultra Moisture with Shea Butter body Wash from PINCHme for review.

One Fabulous Hot Mess

I recently had the opportunity to indulge in the most fabulous Hot Mess my skin has had the pleasure to moisturize in. I'm talking about Perfectly Posh's Big Fat Yummy Hand Creme in Hot Mess. This hand creme was so smooth and satiny and the musky pink pepperpod smell was completely and absolutely delightful. I have used lotions before that were watery or left an oily feel on my hands that just wasn't pleasant. Hot Mess was definitely neither. Hot Mess features coconut oil, vitamin e, and aloe, as well as apricot kernel oil to moisturize and hydrate your hands and leave them feeling so soft and silky. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to pamper their hands! Posh is always having great deals on their products so keep an eye out!! The Big Fat Yummy Hand Creme in Hot Mess is only $9 right now and is part of a promo deal. I will certainly be purchasing asap!
