My mom, sister, little brothers and I recently lost our house. Weve been living in Motels the past month and a half and are trying to save money to put a down payment on a new place to live.

Sally Hansen Creme Hair Remover Kit For Face

Not everyone will admit it, but most women do need facial hair remover. Now im not going to lie (obviously). How could I review something I never used? I cant. I have been using this facial hair remover for years. I first heard about it from a friend almost 8 years ago. We were both working at wal Mart together and of course loved shopping there with our discount. So the first time I ever bought this I was working at Wal Mart and I wont lie, I was extremely embarrassed to buy it. All I could think of was the cashier staring at my face and judging wondering where I was going to put this hair remover tonight.

The first time I used this I was nervous and scared. I didn’t know how long to apply it for, or keep it on, or anything really. Luckily I trusted my friend and followed her instructions and it worked. It worked amazingly actually. It worked way better then I thought it would. I have a problem with hair on my upper lip and scraggly hair on my chin. I’ve used this once every 2-3 weeks for the past 8 years. I loved the way my skin feels and looks after using this.

I’ve tweezed, cut, plucked and more to those pesky unwanted over the lip hairs, and the only thing I keep coming back to is this. You apply it and leave it on for no more then 8 minutes, but long enough to remove your unwanted hair. Remove with a moist towel and then dry and apply the moisturizer. I love the moisturizer. It has a very clean smell, its thin so it wont clog pores, and it goes on so easy.

I just used this this morning and am excited to say that It works wonders. I love this hair Remover Creme. I’ve never used it on the scragglers on my chin but I love the way my upper lip looks after using this product. Definitely recommend to any and everyone trying to remove unwanted facial hair.

Clearasil Ultra Acne and mark Spot Lotion

In the past month I have noticed a couple breakouts appearing on my chin. The stress of life and everything in between has definitely gotten to my skin and is wreaking havoc. I've always had a problem with my chin and breakouts, but normally after a couple good exfoliating face washes I'm cleared up. It's been about a month and the breakout has yet to cease its unappreciated visit. I've tried different face washes and scrub and so far nothing has helped.

I used this last night and this morning I noticed a HUGE improvement. I went to bed with a horrible breakout and this morning I woke up with a couple little bumps and a little bit of red. I cant wait to use this again. Its a lotion, not a face wash so you wash your face as normal and then apply this. It smells amazing its not greasy or oily and dries really fast. It doesn't dry sticky or flaky and it feels like it moisturizers the area you apply it to.

I usually stick with my go to Persa-Gel by Neutrogena but they didn’t have any at the Wal Mart I went to and I needed something now. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a somewhat quick fix. I’ve only used this once and noticed quite a change, I cant wait to see how my skin looks after a week or month of using it.

NYC Green Cover Stick

I have been using NYC cosmetics for years. Thats what I got started on in the makeup field. Only within the past few years have I gotten more in depth with my use of makeup. What I mean is the highlighting, shading, concealing and all that fun stuff. I started buying these about 5 years ago and have never looked back since.

I am obsessed with these 785A Green NYC Cover Sticks, it makes it soo easy to cover red spots with this stick. I personally use this every time I do my own makeup. I have however never used this on clients, I use my Make Up Designory Concealer palette for clients, it looks more professional using a cohesive brand in your kit.

This makeup blends easily into the skin to cover red spots.i have rosy cheeks and tend to have small breakouts underneath my chin and this stick works amazing to conceal them. I definitely recommend using this. Its cheap, quick and easy.  

Oscar Blandi VS Beyond the Zone Rock On Dry Shampoo

I had been using Oscar Blandis aerosol dry shampoo and run out, so I got Oscar Blandis powder Dry Shampoo and disliked it very much. Oscar Blandi is kind of expensive and im on a budget so I went to Sallys to find a good substitute and lo and behold, I found Beyond The Zones Rock On Dry Shampoo Buy 2 get 1 Free. So of course I jumped on that deal, growing up with 3 younger sisters it was always better to buy as much you can for as cheap as you can, and I got 3 bottles of Rock On for cheaper then I could have bought 1 bottle of Oscar Blandi.

My only problem with Dry Shampoos is when they leave that dusty white residue, that actually looks like you powdered your hair. I've tried any and every dry shampoo I could get my hands on until I got the Oscar Blandi aesrosol. I like this Dry Shampoo, its not my favorite, but for the price it is worth it. The smell is kind of strong and not very inviting, smells more of chemicals then any kind of shampoo ive ever smelt.

This dry shampoo serves its purpose and makes your hair feel clean. I dont wash my hair everyday, its not good for my hair, I go maybe 3-4 days without washing it because my hairs not good for everyday cleansing. I use dry shampoo quite often, and I definitely like using this kind, but if I had a choice I would definitely use the Oscar Blandi aerosol. The Oscar Blandi has a way more inviting smell and does its job with a lot less product.

I dont recommend Beyond The Zones Rock On for someone like me, I would prefer the Oscar Blandi. If youre not using it that often and just once in a while I would recommend the Beyond The Zone Rock On. It doesnt smell great and leaves a somewhat residue in your hair, but if your just going to wash it out that night, you`ll be fine. But for someone like me, who doesnt wash their hair everyday and needs a little pick me up in between I would definitely go the more expensive route and use Oscar Blandi. It smells much better and leaves no residue, so u dont have to worry about it being in for more then one day.

I Love dry Shampoo and will definitely keep comparing brands to find the best one out there, but for now im going to stick to Oscar Blandi.

Essie "Off The Shoulder" Summer 2012 Collection Review

got this nail polish in the mail, I had received it as a perk from Klout. Once I ripped open the box and saw what color I had received I instantly removed the polish I was wearing and applied this one.
I'm a sucker for Essie nail polish. I instantly fell in love with the color. The line says they are bright and bold, however this color is a tad darker then I would consider bright or bold. I do love darker pink polishes. I used this color to paint hello kitty bows on my nieces nails and it was the perfect color.
I've been wearing this color for 6 days now and have minimal chipping. I do apply two coats of color and one coat of top coat when doing my nails for maximum coverage. The color looks amazing and vibrant.
I would definitely recommend. I love the color, I love the brand and I love the durability.
Photo is not mine, I got it off a google web search for Essie off the shoulder.
