Hi All!
So I'm revamping my site. I want to keep it simple and fresh, maybe change the layout! If you have any ideas or comments let me know
So I'm gonna take a break from my "10 fav Skincare Products" and move on to makeup. I recently bought a macbookpro so I could actually start possibly working on tutorials and things like that but ofcourse I dont have anytime to.. and dont really know where to start!
I recently bought a ton of makeup brushes and probably have a collection of 60 ...Yeah 60 Makeup Brushes!!! I know its Psycho. Ive actually bought them over time and now have a bunch of amazing ones! I thought Id talk about the ones I like most.
My brushes are from:
Nars
Sephora
MAC
ELF
Lowe-Cornell
Crown Royal
Arbonne
Estee Lauder
I think that covers majority of what I have. I cant think of the rest at the moment!
Stay Tuned...

Fav Product 6 Clarisonic Mia
I just got the Mia a few weeks ago! I kept reading so many articles recommending a "power wash". So many product brands have come out with an electronic brush to wash your face with. The Mia is a smaller version of the Classic Clarisonic Brush, which is larger in size, and comes with 2 pulse timer thing. This one has one pulse. I love this thing because I can use it anywhere. It comes with a small charger and once you fully charge it, it lasts a while. So after using it a few weeks. Ive seen a huge diff in my skin, its like 33908239x smoother, i'm definitely breaking out less, and I dont have to constantly wash my face as much. It makes extractions come out alot easier. I also bought a the 'Deep Pore Brush" which u can replace on the handle.
You can get any of the 3, a normal one- which it comes with, I felt like for my skin, even though I used it like once or twice, I wasnt getting the result I wanted, so I use the Deep Pore, which contains 2 brushes and u can use em for about either like 1-3 months. Using it, I realized tho my skin tolerates ALOT, normal one def might be the way to go. And it has one for sensitive skin.
I just use my cleanser with it, ... but it comes with a small cleanser as well, and move it around my face. The cool thing about it, it has a self-timer, which is for a minute I believe, so your actually properly washing your face. Normally, I take my cleanser, soap.. at this point anything since I have like no time to do much, scrub my face and wash it off. Literally a 15 sec gig, which is really awful... This, not only does what a normal hand would do like 328892 faster and more efficiently, the timer allows you to make most of the cleanser. I love it cuz I just use it in the shower and it makes my life 203982938219381831298321 EASIER! I USE IT LIKE ONCE A DAY.
A good way to use it, esp in teh shower, because the heat of the water allows pores to open, use it, and then do a mask. I used tomato on my face afterwards, and I've tried Tea-Tree oil as well, incase the skin feels a bit irritated. So far its great! and the color is super pretty!! :D
OK!, so heres what I didnt like about it. It retails for like 120.00+Tax, average. It pulsates, and does NOT spin. Spinning circular action would I think be most beneficial in face cleansing. Circular motion also helps stimulate the skin helping it firm and so much other stuff. So I would totally recommend it, its a great investment. I know ProActiv has come out with a similiar brush, DDF Also has a skin polisher, I would totally recommend what ever you can afford. It makes life so much easier, and skin soooooooo much cleaner!!

Easy Hair Maintenance!
How to keep your locks in tact! I've never had major hair issues.. no split ends, nothing.. till recently when my hair became disgustingly frail, thin and hideous. It became so dry and weak all of a sudden.. until I started taking Biotin, but that's not my only secret..
I don't blow dry, straighten or curl my hair (but once or 2x a month- or depends on the occasion) but all my tools are ceramic and ion based and I try to use some sort of serum or hair protectant when I do use anything and 99.9% I don't use hairspray or mousse either.. This way I have less to worry about for a long periods of time..
One of the best solutions is changing up your shampoo and conditioner every other day or so.. I don't have a specific schedule on what I use, what day.. but I use a clean- organic/vegan based shampoo, voluminous, and hydrating shampoo- YES 3 shampoos! I also switch up my conditioners, one for smoothing out hair, and one for volume.. or hydration- Right now I'm between two of them.
My hair keeps from flattening out and looking dull. Using any brand but with those basis, keeps my hair looking fresh daily- and yes, I wash it EVERYDAY! It doesn't really get frizzy and has loads of movement! Try it out!! you'll see a huge difference right away!
Any Q's or comments, leave below! Thanx

Favorite Product 7 Arbonne Acne Advantage
Here's my favorite Acne 3 Step! A few years ago, I was introduced to this line of products because of a crazy break out, dealing with horrendous cystic acne! I mean it was NARSTY! I had tried basically everything but Accutane and other 3 step acne fighting products that had vitamins, would make me break out insanely (claiming that the vitamins would bring the dirt/clogged pores stuff to the surface, so not only causing these volcanic pimples on my face but by the time the cleanser/treatment would bring them down, I started forming craters! Fail on all accounts :S
I was gonna resort to Proactiv (which when using I would have blotches on my face and swelling for a day or two, and I found out later, I formed an allergic reaction to Benzoyl Peroxide!Proactiv also caused excessive dryness, but like I had no choice at that point) Until, a family friend told me to try it...I had nothing to lose at that point, but within a few weeks I noticed a huge difference in my skin, the best part was that the Salicylic Acid worked as an exfoliator getting rid of dead cells, helping generate newer skin and in doing so, marks on my face were totally fading. I didnt do to well with the vitamins, so when I replenished the products I just got the 3 step! It costs about the same as proActiv did, but made a huge difference! its totally worth it, great for ur skin long term, and UNLIKE proactiv your acne doesn't form once you stop using it. What I love most about Arbonne products are that they have several lines targeting specific products, and what I starting doing was, depending on what issues I was having, purchasing and mixing products to create the best treatment for me! Try it out!! Soooo worth it!! :D

Favorite Product 8 Neutrogena 8 Hr Rapid Face Lotion!
So I bought this product a while back, I didn't give it much attention, and tossed it aside.. Until recently when my acne was flaring up and causing me stress! I thought I'd give it a try (like had nothing to lose).. and it totally worked! My acne "rapidly" calmed down! Its definitely something great to have on the go at an affordable price! Its Oil-free, contains Salicylic Acid, reduces breakouts and helps prevent new breakouts. The "soothing botanical extracts help reduce redness, swelling and dryness keeping the skin nice and soft!
