Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer Review*

I am enjoying this last bit of Summer before Fall but not this heatwave lol! I'm happy that Football season is back (Go Eagles) and looking forward Fall time activities. Today I am bringing you another Valentia review powered by BrandBacker. *I was sent this product complementary to review and this is my opinion after using. Let's get into the review of this Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer!

I have tried a few products by this company and have loved each one of them. I was so excited to give this moisturizer a try. This is a light weight moisturizer that illuminates skin while providing all day hydration. I love how big the container is and you get a lot of product to last you for a while. It also has a pump so you don't dispense too much.

I am very particular about what moisturizer I use. I look for ones that have of course amazing benefits for my skin and to help control my oily T-zone. Also, I look for moisturizers that keep my skin moisturized all day and my skin doesn't feel dry at all. Directly from the Valentia, here are the main ingredients and their benefits:

Botanical Hyaluronic Acid: This plant based substance penetrated deep into the skin to secure moisture, support skin elasticity, and plump the skin from within.

Kojic Acid: Known for its skin-lightening properties, this antioxidant helps to naturally control melanin production and prevent dark spots.

Ginseng: A symbol of long-life, strength, and wisdom, Ginseng boosts skin-firming collagen, fights wrinkles, and gives the skin a brighter and more energized look.

Safflower Oil: Rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps to repair the skin’s natural moisture barrier, providing superior protection.

Shea Butter: This wonder nut contains a myriad of regenerative vitamins and essential fatty acids, providing a welcome dose of moisture, hydrating and nourishing the skin.

I knew I was going to love this moisturizer because it contained Shea Butter that helps keep my skin moisturized and soft. I still get a little oily but not as much as I normally do. I love how soft and bright my skin has been looking lately. My skin stays moisturized all day and night. This is another hit from Valentia for me!

HAVE YOU CHECKED OUT MY PREVIOUS POST FROM MY SERIES ON A PERSONAL NOTE???

~**Drea Notes**~

Did I mention I'm excited that football is back?? Lol!

It seems like I'm going to be pretty busy these next couple of weeks with some fun stuff.

Taking a break.......

On Tuesday I did mention that I had some exciting news to share. I have been working part time for a while and searching like crazy for full time work. I was starting to get a little frustrated but never gave up. Well a full time opportunity came up at my current job and I am now full time status!!! I was just so overjoyed and thankful. I will have a more stable income, I can go back to school and start to make some moves. Then I started to get a little overwhelmed. How was I going to juggle being a full-time working mom, grad student, blogger and balance everything else. It has been a while since I had a full time schedule and based my blogging schedule around my days off during the week. I start my full time hours next week and just need to take a small break away from Naturalle Drea. I really didn't want to because I love this so much but I need to see how to handle everything. I will most likely change my blogging schedule around. Thank you to those who have been encouraging to...

Updated: How I currently store my makeup

Hey guys! Back in January, I took everyone through my entire, well majority of my makeup collection. I showed how I used to store my makeup. You can see that original post here. I had everything stored in my empty Birchboxes. It was working for a while until I went to two makeup shows and I didn't have a place for everything! As I was cleaning one day, I saw that had this tall storage bin with stuff that I don't even use anymore and thought it would be a great place to store all my makeup and still have it organized. Here is a picture of where my makeup is currently stored. I believe I purchased this 7 drawer unit at Walmart years ago and glad I kept it! It has come in handy. I'll take you through what is in each drawer. I'll start with the top of the unit where all my brushes, setting sprays (that I haven't used yet lol), OCC lip tars( I couldn't find anything to store them in but that red cup lol. I'll have to decorate it later.) and other items...

No Buy is Officially Over!!

Yay!! I survived 2 months without a single makeup purchase!! I am so proud of myself and knew I had the will power to do it!! It really helped me staying out of Sephora, Ulta and Mac, the usual places that get me in trouble lol! When I went into Target or Walmart, I wouldn't even go near the makeup section. Funny thing is, I haven't run to the store yet to purchase anything on my wish list yet but I will soon. You can see what is on my wish list here. After organizing my makeup, I realized I have a lot of products that I don't use and need to try out soon. I'm going to try to really shop my stash before running out and buying something new. Maybe next time, I will go for a 3 month no buy!! Have you successfully completed a no buy? What is currently on your wish list? Comment below and let me know!! ~** Drea Notes**~ We went to the beach today and I'm so glad we did! It was such a fun day with the family!! I'm trying to get back to working out lol! ...
