Sorry for not posting lately.

I am going to be taking some personal time off of Blogger for a while.

Been busy lately.


I haven't had a chance to update my blog lately, seeing as I have been busy with family matters & working & life has been hectic these past couple of days, but here is the next product that I will be doing a review on. (Note: The perfume in the picture looks like it has been hardly used, but I had used an entire bottle of this previously.) 


I will be posting my review sometime between 3:00 PM & 6:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.

Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream.


Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream is what I use after using Burt's Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub. This product is $12.99, and well worth the investment in my opinion. I think this product works best when paired with another Burt's Bees facial treating product, I would not recommend using it alone.


What I like about this product is the fact that it has a very fresh, clean, almost pure smell to it. I is very lightweight, and a little goes a long way while using this product. I can use this at 9:00 in the morning, and my face will feel clean until 9:30-10:00 at night. Needless to say, I will be buying this product again in the near future, seeing as I am almost out.


This really is a great product, but if you're looking to get rid of acne or to prevent it, I would suggest pairing this with another Burt's Bees product. Here's a helpful tip: If you are like me, and very prone to dry skin on your face, I would suggest ONLY using this product with another Burt's Bees product, you should not mix products if you have dry skin.

Burt's Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub.


I absolutely adore Burt Bees Peach & Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub. It does wonders for my complexion. Basically what this product does is cleans dirt, oil and buffs away dead skin cells & imperfections to give you a fresher feeling, cleaner, healthier looking complexion.


At $12.99(CAD), it  is definitely worth your dollar. It smells delicious, so delicious that you almost want to taste it. (I wouldn't suggest doing so, haha.) I have had this product since November of 2011 & I have been using it daily, I have yet to run out. Another one of its great qualities is the fact that you only need to use a small dollop of the cream to exfoliate your entire face.


Unlike other exfoliating facial products, this is one that will not irritate your face or make your face or skin dry or irritated. I rave about this product to my girl friends all the time & if you can can afford this & you are looking for a new facial product brand to try, Burt's Bees is my one & only suggestion for all of your facial care needs.

Freeman Bare Foot Peppermint & Plum Heel & Callus Balm.



The Freeman Bare Foot Peppermint & Plum Heel & Callus balm was a dream find, in my opinion. It smells amazing, it feels amazing, and it sreads amazingly. You need very little of this product to spread it over a large mass of skin, which is something I look for when buying a skin product.


There is no doubt about it, I will definitely be buying this product again in the future. It will save me a ton of money in the long run since I don't have to use 3 tablespoons just for one foot like some other products (ha-ha).

Nair Pretty Cherry Kiss Hair Removal Cream.


The Nair Pretty Cherry Kiss Hair Removal Cream is hands down, the best smelling hair removal cream I have ever used. The cream is very spreadable, I need a dime sized amount just to do one side of my bikini line. It doesn't smell extremely nice, but I feel as if the cherry scent overpowers the smell of the hair removing chemicals.


Be forewarned, if you accidentally get the cream on hair that you don't want to be removed, remove it as thoroughly and quickly as possible, otherwise you could end up with part of a missing eyebrow (which is what happened to me the very first time I used this). I bought this product for $8.99 at my local drugstore. I will most likely be buying this product again once I run out.

Calgon Vanilla Swirl Shimmering Body Cream.


May I just take the time out of my not-so-busy day today and rant and rave about my new favourite body cream? Calgon has been one of my favourite brands for over three years now, and then this beauty appears right before my eyes while shopping at Walmart. The retail price was $5.67 (not including taxes) and once I took the lid off and smelled it, I was sold.


Not only does it smell absolutely gorgeous, the cream itself is so lightweight and very spreadable. You do not need very much to apply it to a large area. This product honestly makes your skin feel baby smooth, and gives you a very natural looking, very healthy glow.


While applying the cream, you will notice that the smell is very strong. It still smells very good, but it smells a lot better once it has dried onto your skin. And not only is the smell delicious, the scent lasts all day. I will definitely be buying this product again once I run out.

Tresemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo (For oily/straight hair)


I have been using Tresemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo ever since the Summer of 2011. I must say, if used properly, it is a wonderfully rejuvenating product. The smell is wonderfully refreshing, but I found that until I got a boar bristle brush, the most it did was freshen the smell of my hair & get rid of a very minimal amount of the greasiness in my hair.So if you are to invest in this product, (anywhere from $6.99 - $11.99)invest in a boar bristle brush as well (anywhere from $13.99-$$34.99)


Not only does it smell great, the product is extremely lightweight in your hair. I use the product, I tend to wait longer than the recommended time on the back, and I brush it out with my boar bristle brush and it is almost as if I had a shower without actually having one. That's how fresh the product makes my scalp & hair feel.


Another good thing about this product is the size of it. It is very portable, and if needed I can grab it & put it into my purse whenever. It is so versatile, which is very convenient for me.

Got2b Hottie Deep Repair Shampoo & Got2b hottie deep rescue Conditioner.


The Got2b hottie shampoo and conditioner are by far the best, greatest smelling products that I have ever used for my hair. For starters, they both smell delicious. I find that they both smell a bit like warm banana marshmallows infused with coconut.I am not going to talk about them both at once for my entire review, they both deserve their own separate paragraph.








The Got2b hottie shampoo is just magnificent. I wash my hair, put in a palm sized dollop of shampoo, and I can feel the warmth begin to engulf my tresses. Your hair already begins to feel salon smooth at this point. I wash it out, and the great thing (I find) about this shampoo is that even if your hair is slightly tangled before you get into the shower, after you shampoo it & wash it out most (if not all) of your tangles are gone. The shampoo itself smells like a combination of banana marshmallows & coconut, but I find the banana marshmallow scent overpowers the coconut scent.






The Got2b hottie conditioner is utterly amazing. After I have used the Got2b shampoo, I put the conditioner in almost right away. Once you start to massage the conditioner in, it is as if you can feel it repairing your hair instantaneously. Every single time I use it, that is how it feels. I recommend leaving it in for 4-5 minutes (if you have the extra time), I find that is when my hair feels best.


I got the Got2b Hottie Deep Repair Shampoo & the Got2b Hottie Deep Rescue Condition on sale for $4.99 each, but they are both typically $8.99 at your local drug store. They are definitely worth the investment in my eyes.

Hawaiian Tropic Oil Spray SPF 4.


This product is just another one of those wonderful miracle working products that exists in this day & age. I have a very fair complexion & very sensitive skin. This product works wonders. I can stay out in the sun for over an hour without having to worry about a burn even in negative temperature weather! (Yes, my skin is that sensitive). 


Another good thing about this product is that, although the formula does feel greasy once it first makes contact with your skin, it isn't streaky & it dries very quickly. I tend to use this product in colder temperatures to 10-15 degree Celsius weather. Once it starts to get hotter, I opt for the 15-20 degree SPF product.


This product came to $9.99 before taxes, and I would say it is worth the investment if you want to have a delicious smelling sunscreen that will only slightly darken your skin tone. The only other outdoor product I would use besides this one is a Banana Boat tanning oil, which I will be writing a review on soon. :) 

Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker lip plumping gloss.



Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker lip plumping gloss is a product I decided to invest in not even 4 days ago. I was sceptical about it at first, and decided to do some research on the product when I discovered it (roughly)a month ago. There were good reviews on it, there were also bad reviews. Everything has its pros and cons, so I decided it would be worth the investment. 


My lips aren't very sensitive, mind you. The first time I used Soap & Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker lip plumping gloss, it took about 5 minutes for the buzzing feeling to kick in. As soon as I felt my lips start to buzz, it initially came as a shock to me. I'm not going to sugarcoat anything, this stuff works wonders, but I found after several times of usage the buzzing got slightly more irritating each time.


Don't get me wrong, the buzzing doesn't hurt! Not for me anyways, I'm sure the tolerance of the buzzing would be different for each person. Also, if you are very ticklish, the first 2 or 3 times using it will probably tickle. I would strongly recommend this product to all of my girlfriends & I would give it 5 out of 5 stars. At $15.99 before taxes, I would say it is worth the investment & I will be buying it again once I run out.

Sally Hansen.

Is one of my favorite product brands for nail polish, hair dye, bleach, and hair extensions. I used a temporary red hair dye in my hair today that was purchased from Sally Beauty Supply. I have to say, it is one of the most vibrant colors that I have ever used in my hair. It turned out great. 


Using bleaching powder & cream from Sally's was a great idea as well, it made my bangs go from black to almost white blonde in the matter of an hour. I must say, I am a huge fan of Sally Hansen beauty products. And just between you & I, Sally Hansen has amazing crackle nail polish as well.

Some articles of clothing that I love.

In the Spring, I can not resist an adorable pair of nude heels. 


In the Summer, I adore skinny jeans, I always wear a lace lined camisole and flats are the cutest thing since puppy dogs. 


Shawls are great, and the Fall and Winter seasons give me the excuse to wear baggy, fleece-lined hooded sweaters, boots, and knee high socks. 


Scarves are wonderful, and a nice fur lined pair of genuine leather gloves can be great as well. 


Regardless of the season, make sure you are always dressed comfortably.    

Burt's Bees Rosewater & Glycerin Toner.





Before I rant and rave about one of my favorite skin care products in the world, I just want to mention that I do not take credit for the creation or distribution of any Burt's Bees product in any way, shape or form.


I absolutely adore Burt's Bees Rosewater & Glycerin Toner. I use it twice a day, and it is one of the most rejuvenating facial care products that I have ever used in my entire life. It has helped to clear my skin, and I found that it has actually given me a healthier, more lively looking skin tone as well. 


I have never gotten any sort of painful stinging or burning from this product. It has not given me a rash or dry skin on my face either.I would strongly recommend this product to everybody I know. I truly believe that the only disadvantage to this product is that it is not hypo-allergenic. This product starts off at $15.99 before taxes, but I got 3 Burt's Bees products for $30.00, and I will be buying it again in the future.
