Que Bella Relaxing Aromatherapy Mask Review


You can purchase this mask at Target for $1.99. 

This mask claims to gently cleanse, tone and calm tired skin while lavender will refresh, revitalize and relax you. This mask also uses seaweed, essential vitamins and antioxidants. 

This is a clay mask that has a very strong lavender scent. So if you don't like the smell of lavender this mask is definitely not for you. There was a lot of product in the package, so you get a good value for your money. It left my face less red and very soft. 

Would I purchase? Yes

Blenderelle Review


I just got this neat little beauty sponge holder in the mail this past week. I had seen it on youtube and Snapchat so I was pretty interested in it. 
I believe there are 2 different color options. I got mine in the pearl option. This container claims to be antimicrobial so you reduce the risk of cross contamination and also control bacteria. There is also over 50% ventilation when it is closed so the sponge can still dry. It also fits great in a travel bag but it looks nice sitting out at well.
You can purchase this product Here for $14.00.

I really like this little holder. My beauty blender dries very evenly and if I am traveling somewhere it stays closed and doesn't allow my beauty blender to get dirty from random brushes or get anything wet. I am very happy with this and may have to get one in the pink color!

Would I purchase? Absolutely

Lavanilla The Healthy Deodorant Review


You can purchase this deodorant at Sephora for $14. So it is quiet a bit more pricey than going to a drugstore. 

This is an aluminum- free deodorant that is 100% natural, safe and effective. This deodorant uses essential oils and beta- glucan technology to fight odor effectively. It claims to be soothing, conditioning and nourishing. It goes on clean with no sticky wetness as well. It is free of parabens, aluminum and mineral oils. It is clinically tested and dermatologist recommended. It is also non- irritating and allergy tested. There are 5 different scents. 

I tried out the pure vanilla scent. It did go on very smoothly and it smells amazing. It does its job but I found it needed to be reapplied every few hours. However, I was super itchy from it and it left huge red patches on my under arms. 

Would I purchase? No

Foreo Review


I got this as a little set from Sephora. I don't believe they have the exact set I received around Christmas but you can purchase it all separate. The Foreo Play is $39.00, the Awakening Radiance Yogurt Day Cleanser is $30.00 and the Celestial Melting Gel Night Cleanser is $36.00.

I will start with talking about the Foreo Play:

This is a waterproof facial cleansing device that uses t-sonic pulsations through silicon touch points for deep, gentle cleansing. It is good for all skin types. It is designed as a solution for pores and uneven skin tone and texture. It claims to gently remove dead skin cells, and list away 99.5% of dirt, oil and makeup residue. It does only come with 100 uses and than you do have to replace it. It is hypoallergenic, phthalate- free and uses body- safe silicone. 

Next up we have the Awakening Radiance Yogurt Day Cleanser:

This is a creamy cleanser that refreshes as it cleans. It turns from a creamy yogurt into a lush foam that wakes up and revitalizes the skin. It is formulated for skins daytime needs. It is formulated without parabens and phthalates. 

Finally we have the Celestial Melting Gel Night Cleanser:

This gel deeply cleanses and detoxifies the skin. It transforms from a silky gel to a velvety milk that brings comfort before bed. It is formulated to skins nighttime needs. It claims to clean deeply, exfoliate and diminish the effect of pollution to leave your skin smooth and luminous. It is free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.


I found that all 3 of these products work wonderfully. The Foreo Play feels like a massage and my face truly feels like it gets cleaner. The day cleanser made my face feel very clean, refreshes and soft. The night cleanser exfoliated very gently while leaving my face feeling very soft and hydrated. 

Would I purchase? Yes I would purchase all of these products again.

Sephora Lotus Face Mask Review


You can purchase this mask at Sephora for $6. 

This mask claims to lock in water to reduce the signs of fatigue and strain giving your face a rested appearance. This mask is to be left on for 15 min and no need to rinse off the extra essence. 

This mask had a very sweet scent that left my skin smelling really nice. My face felt very hydrated and looked plumper and more awake. This was my favorite of all the Sephora masks I have tried so far. 

Would I purchase? Yes

You can purchase the full size of this mascara for $30 at Sephora. 

This is a kohl pigmented mascara. This mascara claims to be very saturated for dark stretched out lashes by building volume lash by lash instead of clumping lashes together. It also claims to be smudge free. 

This mascara gave my lashes a wonderful, natural looking length with great volume. I did not have any clumping, smudging or flaking but it did make my eyes itch.

Sephora Avocado Face Mask Review


You can purchase this mask at Sephora for $6. 

This mask claims to nurture and support healthy skin. It offers intense nutrition and revive sensitive areas. It is meant to be left on for 15 min with no need to rinse off the extra essence. 

This mask had a nice fresh scent to start with but after I took it off and rubbed in the rest of the serum it got a really nasty scent that would not go away. My face did look plumper and felt very hydrated and did minimize the redness. 

Would I purchase? No, I think there are other masks that work just as well without the weird smell.
