Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque Review

I am a facial mask freak! After wearing makeup all day, everyday, my skin usually needs some extra TLC. I heard rave reviews about the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque for a while before I actually tried it. Thanks to all the girls who recommended it, it has become one of my favorite masks.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask is a true bargain, retailing at around $3.99 for an 8 oz. tube. At this price, almost everyone can afford to pamper themselves. 

The packaging promises to remove blackheads, dry up pimples, and shrink pores leaving your skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Score! All of the things I love.

The mask is a thick, green, clay type. One of my favorite things about the Mint Julep mask is that it smells so good! It smells like something made in the kitchen.

IT Cosmetics Brow Power Universal Eyebrow Pencil: Review

I have spent quite some time fearing brow products. Every time I tried a pencil, a powder, or gel, it looked funny. Always too dark or too orange. However, I recently discovered Brow Power Universal Brow Pencil in universal taupe from IT Cosmetics. This thing is like something the makeup gods sent down from makeup heaven just for me!

This pencil is a double-ended product with a brow spooley on one side and offers a twist up design, that I love, to eliminate the need for annoying sharpening. Not only do you not have to sharpen it, the product is formed into a flat shape so that you always have a nice crisp tip to work with.

It gives a natural, hair-like look while adding some definition and drama to my brows. I never have to worry about having my brow game TOO strong with this product. Other similar brow products forced me to use a very soft, gentle hand when applying. I struggled with that as I tend to have a heavy hand naturally. The Brow Power allows me to use strokes that are comfortable for me while still giving me the results I expect.

What's even better is that it is intended to be a product that can be used for any brow color. It is absolutely phenomenal.

The pressure you apply determines how dark the shade is.

It is crazy the difference a brow makes.

My Love of Simple Skincare AND a FREE Sample!

I have had the chance to try out quite a few products from the Simple Skincare line. Let me tell you, I was super skeptical and nervous to try it because I had already fallen in love with my Younique skincare. My skincare was starting to get a bit too pricey for my liking and I really wanted to find a more budget-friendly routine that offered the same great results. I have really finicky and sensitive skin that breaks out, dries out, gets oily, etc. with many different skincare products so I was waited quite awhile to switch things up. What I found when I decided to take the plunge into the Simple line is that my skin loves their products! What makes it even better is that I can easily access them as they are available at all the major retailers I frequently shop. I have now switched over to having a daily skincare routine that is made up of mostly Simple products and I wish I had done it sooner.

Simple advertises themselves as being "Sensitive Skin Experts" and boasts

No dyes

No artificial perfumes

No harsh irritants to upset skin

Dermatologist tested

Hypoallergenic

Non-comedogenic

Those are some claims I can stand behind. The fact that they don't add any perfume is great because that means I can talk my husband into using them without fear of "smelling like a woman". Here are my short and sweet reviews on the products I have tried thus far. Believe me, I have intentions to try out more.
