Sensitive Skin

Do any of you girls suffer from overly sensitive skin?
I always had sensitive skin but I feel like it has gotten a little worse this past year, i can't wear "CHEAP" earrings. Like those earrings they sell at stores for $5 because they contain nickel & my skin doesn't interact so well with that.

What do you girls use to deal with sensitive skin? What kind of lotions or moisturizes do you use??
I use Eucerin Aquaphor Healing Ointment; check out the blog i posted in the past about this ointment, I really recommend it!


Shaving can also be such a drag sometimes, because we have to look for that razor that won't cause any irritation to our skin. These are a few of sensitive skin shavers that have helped people tremendously with sensitive skin, they reduce inflammation and irritation — hopefully they'll be able to help you too.


Gillette Venus Divine ($9.99) has blades that are coated with aloe and plant oil infused moisture strips so that they will glide over your skin easily. The blades are also positioned so that each one cuts lower than the next. This results in fewer missed hairs and a closer shave.




Bic Soleil Twilight Triple Blade Shavers for Women with Sensitive Skin ($5.79) comes with triple blades that are lubricated with aloe and vitamin E to help moisturize and soothe sensitive skin. It also comes with a curvy no-slip handle in fun pink and purple colors.




Schick Intuition Plus Shaving Kit for Sensitive Skin ($9.49) is a triple blade razor surrounded by a skin conditioning soap made with aloe, cocoa butter, shea butter and vitamin E so that you can lather and shave at the same time! Just wet the shaver and keep both your skin and the razor wet as you shave. This ensures that your skin is lubricated so that you have fewer nicks, a closer shave and wind up with less irritation. Also the indicator on the unit tells you when you need to replace your blades.

These are good razors for EVERYBODY; especially people with with sensitive skin. Hope I Helped :)

Morning Burst

Hi ladies, I'm doing a product review on Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser. This product comes with bursting beads that burst with energy and vitamin "C" and an invigorating citrus fragrance that helps you wake up. This gentle cleanser that helps nourish skin while removing the dirt & oil that build overnight.



This product also comes with a handle which makes our lives a little easier because we can control how much of the cleanser we would like to put on "]





This product really leaves my skin feeling refreshed, it doesn't leave me with that dry feeling. The only con about this [ for me ] is that I love to feel the beads and stuff and to be honest I don't really feel them at all. I guess the beads break smoothly once they touch skin but other than that it smells great and leaves your skin Refreshed and prepared for the day.

What Morning products do you use ??

Flat Iron To Go

My summer vacation is starting next Friday; I am going away to North Carolina For a few days .. it's my cousin sweet 15 and most of my family will be there i am so excited =]
I am sure many of you girls are going away; and well we all want to look great so we have to must have [ to bring ]:: and one of those is the flat iron, check out these ways to take better care of the flat iron so it lasts 'til you get home again.



It's a good idea to have a heat-safe case like this one. Not only will it protect your iron and clothing from heat, it also doubles as a resting spot so you don't burn the counter top at your hotel. They have this same exact one for $ 7 check it out

Wrapping the cord around a flat iron or any electrical device for that matter can stress the connection points and damage the cord rending the hot tool cool forever. Prevent frayed ends by bundling it loosely alongside, not tying it tight.




Put protective material between the plates to prevent scratches and cracks if they clack together. I saved the pad that came in the original packaging for this purpose, but you can add in a small stack of tissues (and rubber band the outside) to cushion it yourself when it's cool only, of course.



Just like you soaked perfume in cotton balls for safe carry-on travel, do the same with styling iron cleaner. Product buildup can pull and snag your hair since gummy plates can't slip and slide down your tresses smoothly.

Lauren Conrad Braid

Just when you think you've seen nearly every type of braid imaginable, leave it to Lauren Conrad to add her own twist.At last night's book signing for LA Candy and appearance on The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien, Lauren busted out the braids again. But this time, she chose dual French braids that looped together in the back, forming a loose, chic bun. I think this is such a cute do for the summer-time because we dont want apparently our hair has a mind of it's own in the hot icky weather.


Here are some tips on re-creating last night's updo version.









1. For a shiny effect with slight hold, apply a glossing gel to damp hair and blow-dry. Try Nivea Diamond Gloss Styling Gel ($12).
2. Part the hair down the middle. Starting from one side of the part, loosely French braid the hair all the way down, stopping the braiding at to the nape. Secure with an elastic band. Repeat on the other side. Note how Lauren's stylist only braided hair along the sides, leaving hair from the crown down to the neck out of the mix.
3. Leaving the two braids out, gather the hair from the crown down to the neck into a ponytail. Secure with an elastic band and twist hair around it, securing with bobby pins into the base of the pony.
4. Finish up by twisting and wrapping the two ends around the "bun" you created in the third step, using bobby pins to secure. Add a spritz of hair spray (such as David Babaii for WildAid Light Styling Spray, $12.50) for a little hold.


Are you girls going to try this look for the summer??

Spring's must have

goodbye yucky rain and humidness and hello SUMMER!

aren't you girls so sick of this weather one day its nice & hot perfect beach weather and the next day is pouring rain and super chilly and this is such a big no no since it ruins all our make up and hair.

I picked out a few good products; from nails to hair so lets get started ...

As the days get hotter, don't you have the urge to wash your hair every single day? well as we all know washing your hair every day is not the best thing to do because we tend to strip away our natural oils. Green Rootine Dry Shampoo [$19] is a brush-on hair powder that allows you to target and absorb the oil that builds up on your hair and scalp. Jonathan’s version of a dry shampoo comes in 2 shades light and dark, and contains all natural ingredients.
how many times do you wash your hair in a week??

Floral designs are very in, we see them everywhere from clothing to makeup. Instead of swirling that brush into any plain old blush or eyeshadow, how about dipping it into a pretty makeup palettes with floral designs? the body shop roseflower eye shadows [$9] is available in two shades, these shades are perfect for the summertime. Limited-Edition In Bloom Cheek Color Duo [$24] can be worn individually or together to contour and highlight.



your toes are definitely coming out with these beach weather we want to show off our new sandals, but why not save some bucks in your wallet and skip a visit at the nail salon. This Tweezerman Pedicure Kit ($15) and found at Target.


From reading past blogs; i can see that purple is IN. i really love the purple look also but for the daytime i dont want a heavy, smoked-out kind of purple, but a softer, lavender tone. Revlon has these cute light cool shaded purple's eye shadows for only $ 7 now thats a snatch!




Metallic eyes & Glittery eyes were all over the Spring runways particularly thick, sparkly liners. These are sold in Victoria Secret [$15]

How To Get Rid Of Your BlackHead - How One Man Conqured it.
As always I was just looking thro articles seeing whats new and I came across this ....


Every week Kenny Zimlinghaus, the show’s male producer attempts to find out what it feels like to be a woman by taking on a new challenge such as getting a manicure, pedicure ETC ... His latest test was giving himself a facial with a battery-operated blackhead remover.

As a guy, I secretly dream of carrying a fancy purse, wearing high heels and getting facials, but please don't tell anyone. And recently, one of these dreams came true when I got my hands on the Clean & Clear Advantage Blackhead Eraser.

My heart was racing when I opened up the box and loaded the “AA” batteries into the Blackhead Eraser. "I'm doing this...I'm really about to erase my blackheads." I twisted the top of the eraser to turn it on. It buzzed and I placed it on my cheek. "Oh my gosh...why have I waited so long to do something like this?" The medicated pad started to foam as the vibrations gently massaged my face. "It's penetrating! It's exfoliating!" It felt like 20 people with the tiniest hands were personally getting rid of every blemish I've ever had. "Thank you tiny-handed face pamperers." I moved to the other cheek and then my chin and forehead and back to my cheeks then back to my chin, nose, temples, chin, nose, chin, nose, cheek, chin, chin...oh man! "Can I use this on my whole body?" I totally would. The pleasant aroma of the medicated pad filled my nose and I began dreaming of my glowing face.

I finally stopped.

I rinsed my face.

You know that feeling you get when you know you're face is squeaky clean and glowing like a beacon in the midst of the night? Well, I hadn't felt that this intensely my whole life. My face was clean and smelled like a dream. If you've never smelled a dream, you're missing out. I looked at myself in the mirror and was so moved at how clean my face looked. It was unreal. I sat down and waited for girls to come swarming to my face. "How did you find me girls?" "Your face is glowing like a beacon in the midst," they would reply. I needed a second opinion to confirm that my face was indeed gleaming. Just then, my friend Patrick walked in the room and said, “Dude, did you go to a spa or something? You look relaxed."

Thank you Clean & Clear, my buddies love my face. And so do I. I've since used the Blackhead Eraser three more times. There's no turning back.

Hello loves, so SPRING 09' is offically here it's a time to feel brand new, with a new season here we can turn a new page in our lives.

“I love this conditioner! Leaves my hair soft and shiny, but rinses clean – a rare find in any conditioner. And it's 97.20% natural – what more could you want? - Hedi H
