New at the Drugstore!!- Hot or Not

Garnier Nourishing Cleansing Oil

Garnier just recently came out with some new skincare products, so I decided to give one of them a try. 

Washing my face at night can be a struggle, especially when I am wearing makeup because I usually have to take my makeup off and then wash my face, and sometimes I'm too lazy to do that so I end up falling asleep with my makeup on (VERY BAD). I recently started trying out cleansing oil which take those two steps and combine them into one. This has made my nighttime skincare routine a lot easier and quicker.   

 I am OBSESSED with my cleansing oil/balm from Lush Cosmetics, Ultrabland, but it is a little pricey, so I thought I'd see if this cleansing oil was just as good. Sooo, hot or not?

This product is definitely a HOT!!!!

I am 100% in love with this cleansing oil. I purchased mine from Target for only $5.99 compared to my Lush cleansing balm which is around $17-$30, depending on the size. I actually prefer the Garnier cleansing oil over Ultrabland. 

This oil not only smells amazing, but it also works really well too! It takes all my makeup and dirt off my face in one process and doesn't leave my face dry or super oily. 

How I Use It:

1. Get around 2-3 pumps of the oil (depending on how much makeup I have on)

2. Massage/ Rub all over the face and make sure to be more gentle around the eyes. 

3. Wet a washcloth with warm water. 

4. Wipe off the oil, makeup and dirt with the wet washcloth. 

5. Apply preferred toner and moisturizer afterwards.

My Ipsy Bag This Month!! || July 2014

For most of you who don't know, Ipsy is a subscription box/ bag that costs $10 a month (they also have yearly subscriptions). You'll usually get around 5 samples/deluxe samples and sometimes full size products. 

The bag usually retails for more than $10, so personally I think its very worth it!

If you want to see my unboxing/ some first impressions on my bag, check out my video:

Favorite Nude Lip Combo of All Time!

To say I'm obsessed with nude lips would be an understatement, so here is my FAV nude lip combo: 

NYX lip liner- Vanilla  Sky

        

 

ANDDD.....

MAC Creme d'Nude Cremesheen

I wear this lip combo literally all the time. I loveee the NYX retractable lip liners, they're so long wearing and not as drying as most lip liners. As for the MAC lipstick, I have no idea where to begin. I don't even know what I was doing so long without it. It is the perfect lighter true nude color. Its not a pink or brown nude, its just perfection. The creme sheen formula makes it so that its not too matte but not to glossy and therefore isn't drying at all. It also stays on very well and I've been able to eat and drink with it on and not have to re-apply until much later.

Health Tip of the Day!

DRINK WATER!

I know what you all are probably thinking.... DUH, or "I've heard this before" but I have a couple of helpful tips for those of you out there that struggle with this. 

Personally, I'm not a big fan of water. I think there's no taste to it therefore its boring compared to something like lemonade or apple juice. However, recently I've started drinking a lot more water, and here's how.

***

~ ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS keep a water bottle with you. Whether you like water or not, whenever you get thirsty, you are going to go for that water bottle. 

~ Splurge a little on a cute water bottle or tumbler. I LOVE my tumbler from Starbucks® and therefore I always want to carry it around, or some other cute reusable water bottles. They can be an accessory to any outfit ;)

~ Try to naturally flavor your water with some fruit! I have a tumbler with an infuser in it and I absolutely LOVE it! It gives water a taste without any added junk that you find in drinks like soda

~ When going out to eat, if you really can't control yourself and want a juice or a soda, try ordering a water with it. When I have my cheat days, if I order a coke, I'll order a water with a lemon as well and I find myself drinking the water too!

~ If you really can't stand water that much, try eating water rich foods like cucumbers, melon or celery.

***

Benefits of drinking water:

1. Drinking water in the AM wakes you up

2. Drinking water before meals makes you more full therefore you eat less because sometimes you are not hungry, sometimes you're dehydrated. 

3. Improves you're skin, which will make your makeup go on nicer and easier.

4. Gives you energy.

5. Helps your digestion.

6. Helps relieve headaches that are most commonly cause by dehydration

7. Keep muscles lubricated therefore less joint pain

8. Boots immune system

9. It'll put you in a good mood because your body will be functioning at its best and lastly....

10. IT SAVES YOU MONEY!! because water is free!
