Sephora Skin Care Haul...

I made a goal this year (as I do every year) to take better care of my skin. I bought a few things from Sephora online, read on for the deets. 



Clarisonic- The Clarisonic has been on my wish list for at least a year. I finally buckled down and purchased one. I bought the Clarisonic Mia, which is the most inexpensive one ($119) in the Clarisonic family. It comes with the sensitive brush head, charger, instruction manaul and a 1 oz cleanser. I have been using this for almost a week & I'm so in love with this little thing...I will save all of my wonderful comments about it for the review. 

I will be doing a full review after I used it for a while. I could have went to the local Sephora to purchase the Clarisonic but they don't always give me the VIB points, so; I bought it online...the more points you get, the more free items & samples you get.


Origins Clay Mask- This was the item that I got for free for reaching over 100 points. I could have chosen a free makeup or fragrance item, but; since I'm on a skin care kick-I figured I would get the mask since I needed it. It's a charcoal clay mask, it comes in 1 oz. I haven't got around to using it yet, but; I will probably use it tonight. 



Clinique 3 Step Skin Care System- This was the sample item that I got for free. It's a sample of the Clinique skin care system. The regular Clinique skin care system is for two weeks but since this is a sample, they gave me the two day supply. You're supposed to use the cleanser, exfoliator and moisturizer in the morning and night for two days. 

I haven't used this either, I rarely get a chance to wash my face in the morning and night for two days in a row...it just doesn't happen. I only wash my face at night and I tone & moisturize in the morning and that's on a good day! Maybe if I get snowed in for a few days, I can get around to using this set. 


Have you used any of these items?

Hey, Sharon!

Sure, I will review the Origins mask for you, once I tried it.

I hope I don't have the same results for the Clinique system that you had, we'll see.

You will love the Clarisonic! It really does deep clean. I don't really care for cleanser that comes with it, so I use my regular Clinique facial soap.

Nice haul, Gabs!

Mac Face and Body Foundation Review

One of my most used foundations is the Mac Face and Body liquid foundation. I've been promising a  review on it, so here it is. Product Claims "A water-based, water-resistant foundation that provides long-lasting, natural coverage for face and/or body. Ideal for all skin types. Face and Body Foundation provides sheer, natural looking coverage in an easy to blend, water-resistant formula. The long-lasting formula is available in a wide range of colours and contains several emollients to help moisturize and condition the skin. It delivers professional looking results that meet the exacting standards of beauty photography and is ideal for perfecting the face and body." Pros -Price is $32.50 retail and about $19 if you're a Mac pro card member (That could be a con based on your finances). -For the price you pay it gives you a lot of foundation. It's in a 4 fl oz bottle. -Because it's water based it doesn't feel heavy, it feels very light on the face. ...

Well-Being: A Better Night's Sleep

  Hello, Dolls A good night's sleep is something I've been chasing after for years. Like many people, my nights can be chaotic. Not to mention, I've been suffering with insomnia for years, yes years.     It takes me a while to unwind and fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up several times throughout the night. I’ve taken several sleep aids and remedies through the years. I've tried teas, linen sleep sprays, over the counter and prescription aids, and almost every lavender night time product out there. Some were helpful at first, but after a while, I think my body got immune to it. So, I was very curious when Highline Wellness gifted me a bottle of their CBD Night gummies. I was skeptical at first, but they’re really working for me.  The melatonin helps you to fall asleep, and CBD helps you to stay asleep. I’m able to fall asleep faster, and stay asleep longer. An added benefit is I don’t wake up the next morning experiencing grogginess like I’ve felt with ot...

Creme of Nature Lemongrass and Rosemary Leave-In Conditioner Review

After promising myself to take better care of my hair, I read in a hair care magazine that if you have breakage or dry hair (like my hair) to consider purchasing a leave-in conditioner, since you don't have to rinse it out-the conditioner keeps on working and conditioning your hair. This was perfect for me because I'm really lazy when it comes to styling and taking care of my own hair... usually I look for products that are easy and quick to use. I do use Creme of Nature's Detangling shampoo, so I figured I would buy their leave-in conditioner. FYI- Creme of Nature is a brand that specializes in hair care products for women of color, who have natural or relaxed hair. They mostly use natural ingredients in their products, which they call "Certified Organic." Product Claims "Pamper your hair with this creme-based formula to soften, detangle, and provide the ultimate conditioning.  Perfect for color treated hair, organic  Lemongrass works to tone and hig...
