Hello Activated Charcoal Toothpaste

Happy Wednesday!

I hope your week has been going well. Today I have a review for a toothpaste brand I recently got familiar with.

I have seen a lot about activated charcoal toothpastes around social media, but I personally have not tried them out until now.

I was lucky enough to get a sample to try from Hello toothpaste.

It's legit black toothpaste! It's main ingredient is activated charcoal, which is suppose to help whiten your teeth. There is no funny taste to it. It has a mint flavor to it. I have always struggled to get a whiter smile and I personally think this helps.

o.b tampons

Thank to Smiley 360, I was chosen to review o.b tampons. 

They came at the right time since Aunt Flo was visiting. The packaging is small, and the tampons are smaller. They have less wrapping and you can take them anywhere with you. 

The tampon itself was easy to insert and comfortable.They came with instructions on how to use them, which were easy to follow. I had no issues using them.

Thank you again, Smiley 360 for letting me review this product.

It has been a while....

Whoa,

My last post was from 2015. It is now 2018. It has been a hot minute since I have posted anything on here. I have been busy from moving, new promotion at work, and just everyday life.

My goal for this year (one of many) is to post more on my blog. I will post about beauty unboxings, free stuff I have received through the mail, my kitties, and just about anything my heart desires.

Hope you all have a great 2018!

Ipsy August 2015

Hello everyone! I'm late on posting my Ipsy bag for the month of August. Ipsyt is $10 a month and you get a cute bag every month along with 4-5 samples! Here's my link if you want to sign up! https://www.ipsy.com/new?refer=31yin

Let's dig right in.

August's theme was Prep School. The bag design is okay..not a fan of the print.

First in my bag, is Ultra Mild face wash by Lather. I like trying new facial washes!

Next item is an Argan Oil by Marc Anthony. I've never owned any Marc Anthony products so I can't wait to try it! Plus, I love argan oils and their many uses.

Next is this gorgeous lipstick by Bella Pierre. I do own a Bella Pierre gel eyeliner that I also got from Ipsy. I love the shade of this lipstick and the formula of it!

Up next is Jesse's Girl eye shadow primer. Did I ever tell you..I'm obsessed with primers. Any kind of primers. I have tons of eye shadow primers and I'm happy to add this to my collection.

Last in my bag is this Lord & Berry lip liner. I do wear lipstick, but only once in a while. I rarely use lip liners since I don't really think I would need it. I did try this and liked how it looked by itself. Hopefully I can find a lip color that matches to this so I can wear them both!

August 2015 Birchbox

I know this is a tad bit late, my apologies! Here is what I got in my Birchbox for the month of August!

Birchbox is $10 a month and here's a link if you are interested in signing up!

August's box design! Sums up summer times during August

Birchbox always comes with a card telling you what you got in your box and how much each product retails for full price

First thing I noticed in my Birchbox was this leave-in conditioner. This is my second leave-in conditioner I have received in a subscription bag/box. I don't use these products but I do like the scent of this!

Next up is Coola makeup setting spray. I have yet to try this because I am trying to finish up my e.l.f setting spray. The cool thing about this setting spray is that, it's organic! Which is a plus for me :D

This Supergoop sample is so small! I could probably get 2-3 uses out of here. I love a good hand cream and I am interested in what Sea Buckthorn is.

I've never heard of this brand before. The brand is LAC & CO. It's a cheeky and lip duo. I have yet to try this as well, but I think the shade is a bit too light for my skin tone.

Lastly, I received a sample size of Hello by Harvey Prince. If I remember correctly, I might have another sample of this from another subscription box/bag as well. It smells pretty and I love stashing these in my purse for just in case emergencies!

Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin Foundation

I was lucky enough to try out Maybelline's SuperStay Better Skin foundation thanks to Influenster. I love trying out new makeup hence, I was very excited to see this in my mailbox!

Influenster is known to send out FULL SIZE products when it comes to reviewing purposes. The shade I received was a shade too light for my complexion (I'm more on the tan side) The shade I reviewed was in Warm Nude. I tried the foundation for 3 weeks per Influenster's instructions.

When I first swatched it, I saw right away it was too light. For the 3 weeks, I mixed this foundation with my Bare Minerals foundation. Both foundations gave me full coverage and lasted all day! My skin is more on the oily side, so I made sure not to pack so much foundation on. 

I tend not to buy Maybelline because my skin is indifferent about their products. I have gotten allergic reactions to some Maybelline products, but this foundation didn't trigger any reactions so I am very happy about that! It gave my skin a touch of glowy look and didn't budge all day/night. I recommend this foundation to anyone!
