Makeup Memory Lane: Makeup Loves From The Past

Hey Girlfriend! Haha! (I was trying to take myself back to my teenage years when I start started using makeup) Today I thought it would be fun to talk about some makeup products I used when I was younger. If you're around my age then I'm sure you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane. So get comfy in your inflatable chair and let's go! Starting off with my very first makeup product... Covergirl Clear Mascara~ I could not tell you how excited I was when my Mom FINALLY allowed me to wear this! Let's be honest, to an adult, this doesn't do a thing for your lashes. I can't say I'd use this as a brow gel nowadays. But back then, when I was what? 13 years old. I thought I was the coolest girl in town with my glossy lashes! Covergirl Shimmering Sands Eyeshadow Trio~ Along with my mascara came this lovely eyeshadow trio. Now this is one thing I should still thank my Mom for (and Covergirl). It's still as good as it was back then. Sure it's l...

Sponsored Post: Insta Natural Advanced Action Retinol MoisturizerandAge-Defying Retinol Serum

***SPONSORED POST**** These samples were sent to me by BrandBacker for review. Welcome back! Today I will be talking about two products I was sent for review. I have used these products for several weeks and feel like I have a pretty good idea of how they perform. The first is this Advanced Action Retinol Moisturizer What's in it? 25% Retinol Vitamin C Hyakuronic Acid Jojoba Oil Shea Butter Green Tea What does it look like? A thick white cream. If you're not into heavy feeling creams, you'll want to skip this one. You can definitely feel the heaviness of this cream. Which I prefer for night time creams. (I only apply this at night) How do you use it? I have very sensitive skin so I only use this every other night. I usually try to stick with a light weight moisturizer during the day because I have found that my makeup doesn't stay put if I use anything heavy under it. Does it work? I haven't noticed a dramatic difference with my ski...

Empties: Products I've Used Up

Welcome back! Believe it or not, I don't plan these posts. I have an reusable shopping bag I keep under my vanity and when it gets full I decide it's time for another empties post! So here we are! As always I will briefly tell you what I thought about each product and if I'll repurchase or not. Here we go! Clean & Clear Night Relaxing Deep Cleaning Face Wash~ This is my favorite night time face wash! I haven't repurchased another one because I have a few others I wanted to use first. I will definitely repurchase when I finish those up. The scent is great and it really helps me unwind and relax at the end of a crazy day.  Tickled Pink Detoxifying Wipes~ I really liked these. I'm sure you've seen. In my other posts that I usually buy my makeup remover wipes at TJ Maxx. These looked interesting so I picked them up. They were good and the towels maintained their moisture till the end of the pack. I didn't see them the last time I was t...
