My husband knows I love skin care products so he picked this up for me at Winners. It is a jar which some might find unhygienic but I personally love them because I am ensured that I am using every single bit of the product that I spent my hard earned money on.
When I first applied this cream I thought it would be too heavy to wear during the day because it has a heavy, rich feel to it but it surprisingly absorbed into the skin quickly and didn't leave my face shiny or greasy but absorbed matte. It made my skin soft and smooth and didn't cause any irritation whatsoever.
Although this cream did not irritate my skin and hydrated perfectly I would not repurchase this cream again but only because it had a strong fragrance that lingered on long after applying. In my opinion face cream should have little to no fragrance. However if they changed this product and made it fragrance free I would definitely consider using this cream again.

I was looking for a dress for a maternity photo shoot and came across this one. It had really great reviews on Amazon and some women posted some really great pictures that sold me on it. It was a little less than 40$ and came a few days after I ordered it. I was unsure of what size to order. Before pregnancy I was a size small so that's what I went with and it fit perfectly and has lots of extra room and stretch that it will most likely fit me even at the end of my pregnancy.
I am 5'5 and at 7 months pregnant currently weigh 148 pounds and the dress fit perfectly. It came in an assortment of colors but I decided on the beige even though I was more attracted to the burgundy since it's summertime. I did find it was a little more yellow than beige but it still turned out nice in the photos. Also the bottom of the dress doesn't flare out as much at the bottom as it does in the advertised picture but I still thought it looked lovely.
Although in the front this dress was not see through the upper back is made of sheer lace so you either have to go bra less or wear a sticky bra that tapes in the front. This dress had a feminine vintage feel to it which was what I wanted. I have to admit I was a little scared ordering my dress online but at the end I am glad I did. It may not have been the most expensive dress but it was perfect for the photo shoot and I didn't want to pay alot for a dress that would only be used once.

I tried the strawberry and banana Naked Smoothie and really loved it so I decided to try other flavors. They were on special at pharma Prix so I decided to try this flavor and I have to say it wasn't as pleasant as the strawberry banana smoothie. The smell was atrocious and I was taking in way too many flavors that for me did not go together. The banana, coconut orange and pineapple stood out most to me and mixed with the chalky taste of the whey protein made it even worse. On the bright side however it does contain 30g of protein as well as a high amount of potassium and vitamin C. There is absolutely no sugar added so 51g of sugar are naturally occurring from fruit. Although I was not a big fan of this Naked smoothie it will not stop me from trying other flavors available. -

This is my third pregnancy and almost all of my maternity clothes are from thyme maternity. I have a few pairs of leggings, a couple of dresses, some jeans, capris and alot if tops. It is a little pricey but at least I can still feel fashionable while sporting my cute little baby bump. I am very fortunate that a size small has always lasted me an entire pregnancy. I have never gained more than 20 lbs for any of them so I didn't have to worry about upping sizes the further along I got. Since I am more than half way done this pregnancy I'm fairly confident I will be just as lucky this time around as well. Their clothes are quite comfortable and accomadate my growing belly. For those on a budget Thyme Maternity often has sales. I find thd quality is good and they wash up well. -

I was in a hurry to go out and since I finished the tube of mascara I have been using recently using I had to pick another one quickly. I chose Urban Decay TroubleMaker mascara and was extremely disappointed. It didn't give me any length or volume whatsoever. All it seemed to do was darken my lashes. I applied three coats like I usually do and I was almost better off wearing no mascara. I did not have any trouble with clumping or flaking like other reviewers even though the weather has been very hot and humid. I absolutely love Urban Decay eye-shadow but this mascara was a no win for me. I am very happy that I received this in a monthly beauty box subscription because if I paid full price for this I would be very unhappy. Even drug store brands have impressed me more than this one. I will definitely stick to my Clinique High Impact mascara for my no makeup makeup days and my Benefit Rollerlash or Benefit Bad Gal Bang for when I really want to lengthen and curl my lashes. -

This leaves my skin feeling baby soft and gives me an incredibly healthy glow. It absorbs instantly and has an invigorating citrus scent that awakens the senses. Although it is a bit expensive it is well worth the money. Although this is a lightweight lotion it perfectly hydrates my skin. In my opiniin this would be best suited for those with normal skin. Not everyone will enjoy the thin lotion like texture but I find it very easy to spread. Since a little bit goes a long way this bottle will last a very long time. Not to mention It leaves my skin feel hydrated for a very long time. -

I received this in a gift set from my husband along with the lotion, body scrub and perfume. Out of the entire set the only thing I did not like was the perfume. It did not go well with my body chemistry at all so I ended up giving it to my mother. This shower gel contains sea kelp and left my skin feeling soft. Although it doesn't lather as much as other shower gels it does rinse away easily and leaves my skin feeling clean. The scent was captured perfectly. It takes me away to the beach. If I close my eyes I can smell the scent of the salty ocean air, sunscreen and a light floral undertone. The scent is not long lasting unless you use it along with the lotion that also smells incredible. -

This is my first time using a heated eye mask and I am impressed. Once I opened up the package and put the loops behind my ears I thought this is not working. What a scam. And then the mask started to slowly release heat and it was absolute heaven. Apparently the iron particles in the mask react when exposed to oxygen molecules. It also has a light scent of jasmine that relaxed me even more. Although it says to leave the mask on for 15 minutes I left it on for an hour until it no longer heated. Unfortunately I used this in the early evening but next time I will definitely try it right before bed. It has the look and feel of a sleeping mask and the elastic loops fit comfortably around the ears. It definitely made me feel like snuggling up in bed and going to sleep. After a long day it made my eyes feel less puffy and tired. I am now inspired to try other brands of heated masks like this. -

I ordinarily use pure, cold pressed argan oil however my friend gave this to me so I decided to give it a try. The first thing I noticed when I looked at the ingredients is that argan oil is not even the main ingredient in the listing. The top 3 ingredients are soy bean, canola oil, fragrance and then spinosa kernel oil ( which is argan oil) and a list of other oils and BHT. This oil was very thick and didn't seem to absorb into the hair like other oils that I have used in the past. It seemed to sit on top and coat the hair. Since I usually apply oil to my hair before washing I wasnt too concerned about this. I found this hair oil slightly harder to wash out than the regular brands I have used in the past but on the bright side it did give the appearance of thicker fuller hair like as advertised on the bottle but it did fall short in the moisturizing department. I took a look online and it seems this brand is very inexpensive. Although I womt say its true for everything sometimes you get what you pay for. I definitely wouldn't go out and buy a bottle and now I know for sure why my friend gave it to me. -

This is a wonderful, invigorating shower gel. The mango scent over powers the coriander. It lathers nicely and rinses easily leaving my skin feeling fresh and clean. It doesnt dry out my skin and the scent lingers lightly even after my shower is done. It says on the bottle that this 100 ml bottle can last 40 showers. I didn't count how many I got out of this bottle but I do know that such a small amount is needed and it lasted me quite awhile. -
