Naturalle Drea

Well week 3 is finished and it was a bit crazy. Of course I only exfoliated once this week and I tried so hard to do it more than that! Hopefully I can get it together for week 4. I wasn't too crazy about the new moisturizer I decided to try this week. I purchased Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel and it was like a gel consistency and was supposed to help with containing the moisture but really didn't for me. I tried to use it for as long as I could but mid-week I had to switch back. My face just felt dry and noticed a couple dry patches on my face. It may be a better moisturizer for the Spring or Summer time but it didn't help much for me :(  My face did also break out mid-week and I wasn't too happy about it. I didn't like the way my complexion felt or looked. I did use the Juice Beauty mask again which I love! When I did exfoliate that one day (shame on me,lol) I followed up with Origins A Perfect World Age Defense Treatment Lotion with White Tea. It's a...

I'm so surprised I got my hands on these, thought they would of been sold out!! I love MAC so much and was pretty excited when Rihanna announced she was collaborating with them for a makeup collection. I missed all the lipsticks before but happy I was able to get something. There was so much to choose from so I got one of the eyeshadow pallets and a blush duo. The eyeshadow pallet I got is called Her Cocoa and has four neutral colors. The other pallet had darker colors. I wish I knew the name of each color. The blush duo is called Hibiscus Kiss and has a really pink color and cocoa color. I can't wait to try these out soon and come back and review them for you guys!

I am on to week 3 of my skincare journey. I did change cleansers and the moisturizer again and my nighttime routine. Here are the products I will be using this week: Daytime: Cleanser- Neutrogena Facial Bar Toner- Witch Hazel SPF- L'oreal Eye Cream- Racinne Moisturizer- Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream Nighttime: First I will put Coconut Oil on my face then wash with the Neutrogena Facial Bar, follow up with Sephora Cleansing Water, Yes To Cucumbers Eye Gel and a little Coconut Oil to moisturize. Hopefully my skin stays moisturized during the day and I can get my face really clean this week and also exfoliate more than once. Stayed turned for my upcoming vlogs and so much more......

So week 2 is finished and I must say that I'm happy with how my complexion is now. It looks so much clearer, my skin is soft and it has a glow to it. But since Fall is here, my skin did get a little dry towards the end of the week. On Tues 9/17, I did exfoliate with Origins Modern Friction. First I put coconut oil on my face then used the Origins and loved how it made my face feel afterwards. I only did that once this week, I need to try for twice next week. On Wed. 9/18, I used Juice Beauty Mask from my Birchbox. I liked the way it felt, didn't get so tight on my skin and easy to wash off. I did notice a couple nights that I had a lot of dirt on my face. But overall, I didn't break out and happy with the results. Stay tuned for Week 3...

Hey everyone! I've been so busy lately, picked up some extra hours at work and chasing after my two year old. I'm in the processing of doing some vlogs soon and new post about products I've recently purchased. I love when Ulta has the 21 Days of Beauty sale. I spent too much money in there but it's so worth it! I will be posting about Week 2 of finding a facial regimen soon and getting into Week 3. I already purchased some new products for that also! So I will be back very soon with new stuff......stay tuned!!!

It was five years ago on my birthday when I decided it was my last relaxer. I was just so tired of my hair breaking off, it only growing to a certain length and just the expense of keeping it up. I wasn't very knowledgeable about going natural at the time so I got press and curls or went to the Dominican salon. I also wore my share of weaves, braids, had my hair long and short and so many different colors. My hair seemed healthier, it was growing but still shedding like  crazy. I really didn't do much with my hair except wrap it, put some kind of product on it and did flat iron when needed. Little did I know all the heat damage I was doing to my hair. In my area, I really didn't see a lot of people with natural hair. Every female had a relaxer, weave, braids, you name it. So I really had no one to ask how to properly manage natural hair, how to style it, or just what to do. The only thing I could do was turn to the Internet. Sometime around last year, I really started to n...

For Week 2, I changed a few products from the previous week and changed the routine a bit. This week, I will exfoliate more than once and will use a mask. Here are the products I'm using this week: Daytime: Cleanser- L'oreal Ideal Clean Foaming Gel Cleanser Toner- Witch Hazel SPF- L'oreal Sublime Sun Eye Cream- Racinne Ultimate Youth Power Eye Serum Moisturizer- Korres Nighttime: I wanted to try something a little different for my nightly routine. First I would moisten my face and apply coconut oil then use Target brand Makeup Removing Wipes. Next I would swipe my face with the Cleansing Water, apply Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Eye Gel then moisturize with a little Coconut Oil. I was doing a little reading online and decided I needed to start using an SPF daily. Even though I'm not in the sun all day, it does come in contact with my skin and I need to protect it better. I also wanted to try using a eye cream/serum to help prevent wrinkles in the future and fine...
