Recently, I have been obsessed with skincare, and after watching countless videos about skincare, I decided to try out The Ordinary. People said that it was fantastic, and my skin has always been a struggle, so I went ahead and purchased the niacinamide serum, caffeine serum, and the AHA+BHA mask. I have been using these products for about a month now, and I love them. My acne scars have faded drastically, and my skin feels less oily than before. The caffeine really helps me feel more awake and ready to face the day. All of their products are cruelty-free, with no fragrances and without any harmful ingredients. It is truly clean skincare, which explains why the brand is so good. They are also very affordable, starting at less than $10. There is nothing I love more than skincare on a budget, and this brand encompasses everything that I want in a skincare line. Unfortunately, they have become so popular that many of their products are sold out, but I will definitely be repurchasing everything! I highly recommend for any type of skin as they have an extensive range of products formulated for all skin concerns. Next, I want to try out is the salicylic acid mask, to see if it improves my acne. Check out the brand here: https://deciem.com/brand/the-ordinary

I recently received this brand in my Ipsy bag and I love them. It is a Korean makeup and beauty brand. The three masks I got were holiday based and it was moisturizing, acne-prone and detoxifying. I loved all three becuase it felt very relaxing and there was a lot of stuff on the face mask so you could rub it on your neck with the leftovers. This brand is also cruelty free. I don't buy brands that don't have the cruelty free label, so a face mask like this makes me feel better about using it. They not only have masks, but all sorts of beauty supplies as well such as makeup, cleanser and spa supplies. Using this brand, you could make all your beauty dreams come true just with one website. This brand is also super affordable and doesn't make you pay crazy prices for one thing. You can shop their website here: https://www.thecremeshop.com. I started using this lotion about three months ago and it is amazing. It cleared up my skin completely and all my acne scars are fading. It is drugstore and very easy to access, not to mention, cheap. I use the lotion that helps with acne and it works. It is a large bottle, scent free and doesn't affect sensitive skin. The good things about the lotion is that it is light, cooling and cheap. When you put it on your face, it has a cooling effect that is super relaxing. It also absorbs into the skin super well and leave the skin feeling soft and moisturized. There are no cons to this lotion because it has everything you need. I highly recommend becuase it doesn't break the bank and works super well.

I got it for the first time a couple days ago and I love it. It is sort of a DIY where you add water and it turns into a mask. It made my skin so soft and it made the redness on my face go away. There was a lot of the mask left over, so I would probably use only half the next time I do it. The only complaints that I have is that the face mask made my face feel like it was burning a little bit, but after I washed it off it was great. This brand has such amazing stuff that works super well on my skin, which is oily and sensitive. Their products are cheap and have great ingredients. They also have a huge variety of skin care products, so there is something for everyone. Buy the mask here:https://www.amazon.com/Yes-Tomatoes-Impurity-Fighting-Powder/dp/B079QB8QMB/ref=sr_1_10_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1527179314&sr=8-10&keywords=yes%2Bto%2Btomatoes%2Bface%2Bmask&th=1 I got this a while ago because my friend had it. I didn't think it was going to work because my hair is super hard to curl. I tried it and it was amazing. The temperature gets to 400 degrees, which can curl anything. My hair can curl at 300 degrees, so I never put it too high. The curler goes from 1/2 and inch to 1 inch. It makes the most perfect beach waves. I have worn curls a couple times using this wand and I have gotten many compliments. It is $20 at Ulta. Buy it here- https://www.ulta.com/infiniti-curling-wand-styler?productId=xlsImpprod2070253 This lip gloss is by the brand Estee Lauder and it is the best lip gloss I have ever had. I usually don't put anything on my lips, but this one is amazing. It goes on so smooth and isn't sticky at all when you put it on. I kept it on all day and it didn't wear or dry out my lips. Usually I have to apply lip balm under lip gloss, but I didn't have to do that at all for this. They have many colors for any mood or occasion. The colors are also pretty low key. It is a nice touch to your outfit or makeup look.

If you don't know what these are, they are beauty subscription boxes that sends you 5 beauty products a month. Each box is 10 dollars a month for 5 sample products. Before you receive your box, each website has you take a survey to see what beauty products you like. Now, on the to review. I got Birchbox first and I was pleasantly surprised. The box that it came in was super cute and I could totally use it for décor and gifts. The products that I received were mostly skin and hair stuff. My two favorite items in the box were an eyelash curler and acne skin serum. Ipsy was very similar. The bag that it came in was really cute and practical. I will definitely be using this for a makeup bag. I received more makeup in this box than haircare. My favorite things in this bag were the blush and lip scrub. In the end, I liked Ipsy more than Birchbox. Birchbox had more skin and hair care and Ipsy had more makeup. I personally like makeup more so I would go for Ipsy. It depends all on your preference though. Have fun with the boxes! I first got a sample size of this in my Birch Box and I did not know that it would be this amazing. It is my new favorite moisturizer and I plan on switching it out with my old moisturizer. This is a very thick moisturizer but it doesn't feel like it once you put it on. It made my skin look brighter within one use and feel more hydrated than it ever has. It is meant for all skin types; I have very oily skin and this doesn't over moisturize at all. It soaks up into the skin very fast and it doesn't leave any residue behind. I also have very sensitive skin and this moisturizer has not reacted with my skin at all. It is also a plus that it smells really good. I recommend this product and it has probably the best moisturizer that I have ever had.

I wanted to inform you on this amazing toner that I have been using that deserved a shoutout. It is supposed to get rid of acne and balance your skin and I think it actually does that. My acne has been slowly clearing since I started using this product. This has all natural ingredients and it doesn't dry out skin. I generally have really oily skin and this made it a little bit less noticeable during the day. If I hadn't started using this product, I think my skin would have been in pretty bad shape. I don't think that there is anything wrong with this product at all. The toner is $10.98 so it is in a good price range as well.
