How I cleared up my skin (acne and dark spots)

Image
HI! I never thought this day would come but here I am posting how my face used to look and I always caked on makeup to cover it up but it's been about 4 years since then. I never really took pictures because of how ashamed I was, I still breakout time to time but just a pimple or two not like before.  First things to do are to take care of your health because to heal acne, what we put inside our body is usually the culprit. 1. I don't eat meat/chicken but seafood from time to time I do.  2. I drink water now I rarely drank water!!!!!!!! I still don't drink plain water I always put lemons or cucumbers in it.  3. I avoid dairy when I can because I will definitely breakout. 4. Also no super greasy foods/food with too much sugar only on rare occasions. 5. Probiotics helped me for sure! 6. Don't use ANY facial brush no matter how gentle on active acne as it will just aggravate and even spread the germs to the rest of your face! 7. Don't over-exfoliate 8. Don...

I bought mine from the dollar store for $1 and the top coat was also $1 what a steal! It went on very smooth and two coats gave me that sophisticated look that the OPI and Essie does. I'm so amazed by this! Just had to share! LA Colors 517 In the nude 2 coats with 1 of the top coat

Summer Friday R + R Mask Review and Ingredients Breakdown (compared to Overtime Mask)

Image
P.S. Overtime Mask Ingredients breakdown is below but I have yet to try it YET, I'm not sure if I want to commit, maybe I'll get  sample, but there are so many reviews already at this point I'm sure there's a more thorough one out there. The first obvious comparison is the price. There's an $8 difference for the same amount of product and the R+R is their most expensive mask. $4 more than their original cult favorite Jet Lag Mask which started the company.  I tried the Jet Lag and I wasn't impressed, I kept trying it again and again and I seriously don't know what it was. My eyes, first of all, were overly sensitive to it I kept tearing up and I haven't seen that on anyone's review (I'm just probably extra weird). Under makeup, as a mask, as an overnight mask, taken off with just water, taken off with a warm damp cloth, still no avail. I tried it for a month. It was such a bummer as everyone loves it and I really wanted it to work for me...

ELF Camo Concealer vs. Fenty? Mixed Together?

Image
Overall Thoughts: I love the Fenty concealer it is lightweight and medium in coverage so I wanted a lighter shade for when I want a brighter undereye. Then this Elf camo came out and decided to try it. It is a thinner consistency than the Fenty and Elf is a matte formula while the Fenty is a demi-matte and is a more flexible feel. The elf doesn't cling on dry lines but it's just a matte formula so lines if you have a lot, will be a bit more obvious. It's definitely worth the $5 just that it oxidizes so the shading will be tricky to figure out.  ELF Shade: light peach Fenty Concealer and Foundation: 210 Full Video Down Below after the pictures Mixed together it was very nice, blended well with each other and worked to brighten my undereye so I don't need to purchase another Fenty! I'll be trying to mix it with my other concealers to see if it blends well with others like my Too Faced born this way and Tarte shape tape. Left is ELF (light peach) t...

Lululemon Align Dupe (95% dupe for $30!!!) and also Gymshark Dreamy Dupe

Image
Lululemon Align 25" Size 2 $98 It is very veryyyyyy soft due to its nulu fabric which is I think the blend that Lululemon themselves curated to have this feel. Yes, the aligns pill but you can easily take those off and as long as you  COLD WASH  them in DELICATE and HANG DRY they will be fine for a very long time. If they do have a rip, you can easily contact lululemon and they will either give you a gift card or just exchange.  Colorfulkoala Brushed Buttery Soft High Waisted Yoga Leggings Size XS $28.99 https://amzn.to/2FSTYO9  (the BRUSHED on the label is important and the price is $28 the $22 is NOT the same, the links are exactly what they are just to be sure because that's how I ended up with the original ones the first time) Very much so just like the aligns in feel (copied that nulu blend) and fit but without the logo. The seam on the waistband is a bit thicker but not noticeable, can't feel either. It's definitely a bit thi...
