Amazon Prime Day Haul 2019

8/6/2019

2 Comments

 
Did you shop on Amazon Prime Day?  I never seem to go for the big ticket items, but found some great deals in the beauty section!  I have always wanted to try the Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask & Hada Labo Skin Plumping Gel Cream, so this was the perfect opportunity to check them out!  I also purchased this great set of earrings!  They were not a prime deal, but they work out to be about $2 a pair!  Click the photos below to go straight to the Amazon listing if your are interested!

Marshall's Haul July 2019 & My Tips For Finding Name Brand Makeup at Marshall's

7/30/2019

0 Comments

 
I've been in and out of Marshall's recently treasure hunting and found some really great things!  I always make sure to check out the beauty section and here are my tips for finding the goods:
  1. Make sure your phone is charged.  I always load my cart with the name brand items and then google each one for reviews.  Some products are there because of overstock, rebranding or simply because they are crap.  You can also see what the product is selling for elsewhere since the compared to pricing on the sticker isn't always accurate.
  2. Check EVERYTHING, especially if it is a powder product!  I always remove the product from it's package and examine it to see if it has been swatched, tested, used, broken or dug into.  ALWAYS put it back inside of it's box and return to the shelf if you don't plan on buying it.  I see SO many products out of the box and cluttering the shelves.
  3. If you are purchasing a lip product, mascara, etc USE CAUTION.  For lipglosses, I barely pull the wand out of the tube to see if it has been tampered with.  I don't want anything that's touched someone else's mouth--yuck!  You know once you pull the wand out of the tube it's game over.  If it is "clean" it is probably safe.  I have noticed some stores will put the nicer lip brands inside of those tamper-proof boxes so I imagine that will prevent damage as well.
  4. Don't be afraid to dig!  You have to be in the mood for this venture.  People might stash the good stuff behind other items to come back for later.  Crouch down, move things around (and then move them back!).  I have found the best items (a MAC brush, Shiseido eye lash curler, etc) by digging!  Use caution if you are anemic or have blood flow issues.  The combination of crouching down to check out the bottom shelf and the excitement of finding something good gives me a head rush!
  5. Bring hand sanitizer/wet wipes.  This area, especially the clearance section, can get nasty, y'all.  People don't put things back, break things, get lipgloss everywhere.  My hands get sticky EV-ER-Y TIIIIME!

Pixi Beauty Vitamin-C Collection

7/11/2019

0 Comments

 
Pixi Beauty recently gifted me 5 products from their Vitamin-C Collection.  I have really been enjoying using the Juice Cleanser in the morning for a quick cleanse before applying my SPF moisturizer and eye cream.  It is similar to a micellar water and very refreshing.  I have also been using the Vitamin-C Lotion at night since I ran out of my usual night cream and it feels really nice on the skin.  I am still loyal to my Pixi Glowtonic Toner, but I am looking forward to incorporating the Vitamin-C Toner once it runs out.

Dr. Brandt Needles No More 3-D Volumizing Mask

This product claims to visually plumps and revolumizes the sunken cheeks and laugh lines that give skin an older appearance. With a recontoured look, the face quickly takes on a more youthful appearance.
* Visibly adds volume to plump the skin and visually smooth laugh lines
* Helps reshape natural facial contours over time
* Self-sculpting brush gives you the power to restore youthful contours

The texture of this product is a cross between a night cream and a mattifying primer or pore filler. A little goes a long way, and I do notice improved plumpness and “bounce” to my skin after use. Instructions state to use this during the day and let dry 30 seconds before applying moisturizer. I have only ever used it as part of my night time routine because I am leery of layering too many products underneath my makeup. I’ll have to give it a try and report back on how this would hold up.

​The website describes it as a “medium weight cream” but I think it is a little more on the heavy side. “This exclusive doctor designed formula gives you the appearance of younger looking skin with hyaluronic acid, peptides and Adipofill'in Complex. A little bit goes a long way to visually plump, fill and reshape facial contours. Don't let gravity be your destiny.”

* leave on mask
* apply a thin layer to cleansed skin
* let dry for 30 sec then apply moisturizer or sunscreen

I was lucky to find this at TJ Maxx for an affordable price, and would definitely recommend you give this a try if you do the same.

Pixi Beauty Glow Mud Mask

This Pixi Beauty Glow Mud Mask contains ginseng, aloe vera & mineral rich mud to deep clean pores and energize skin, leaving a healthy glow. This mask claims to be for all skin types, but especially congested or dull skin.  I always caution those with very dry or sensitive skin that mud masks may not be best for them, but I did not find this to be very drying like others I’ve tried in the past.

Apply a thin layer all over your face, avoiding the eye area.  After 15 minutes, this dries down to a slate color and can be washed off. Use 2-3 times per week before bed. I like to follow this up with Glow Tonic Toner & remember to always mask on clean skin! ✨

Pixi Beauty Glow Tonic

3/14/2019

Pixi Beauty sent me this vanity set with a giant #GlowTonic right before Christmas & I have been using it ever since!

My skin can be a little sensitive at times, so I started by using it every other night to test the waters since this is a chemical exfoliant.  I have found it to be gentle enough to use every day with no irritation.

If you are still using one of those apricot scrubs to exfoliate your skin, put it down!  They can cause micro-tears in the skin which can invite bacteria to enter.  If you are overwhelmed with AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) this is a great choice because it’s super gentle and alcohol free!

AHAs can penetrate the skin at a deeper level to address oiliness, acne, blackheads, fine lines & dullness.  Pixi GlowTonic includes 5% glycolic acid as the active ingredient.  It also includes aloe vera to soothe irritation and hydrate skin.

Ginseng is the unsung hero in this toner, because it can stimulate the metabolism of your skin (who knew?)  This encourages the production of collagen, which is essentially the fountain of youth.  Ginseng may also treat dark spots and undereye circles.

☀️Make sure you use SPF whenever you are actively using an AHA product.

💡If you are sensitive, try to introduce this toner into your routine gradually instead of  am & pm daily as suggested on the bottle.
