MY CURRENT SKINCARE OBSESSIONS

March 6, 2018 107 Comments

Hi there,

I hope you all had a great weekend and are excited that the snow has finally stopped falling and keeping us indoors. I am so ready for spring to get here and just to have a bit of warmth. Today I am here to tell you all about my current skincare obsessions, in my skincare routine I told you how I was into Korean skincare and as much as I tried to reduce some of the steps, I have gone back to following all of them and I am loving how my skin feels and looks this time around. My skin is not perfect but we have to start from somewhere right? And since I can be a “product hoarder”, I rather tell you what I have been using lately before adding any additional products which I know is going to happen.

AFFORDABLE SKINCARE PRODUCTS ON AMAZON

July 13, 2017 47 Comments

Hi there,

Today I am back with another beauty post for you guys, and it’s all courtesy of my obsession with Amazon. The fact that you can get anything you want from there is just perfect. I shop on amazon for almost everything from beauty, hair accessories, kitchen gadgets you name it. Let’s talk about skincare for a minute, nowadays the beauty industry is on blast and with all the products coming out, it becomes very tempting to want to try them out but then comes the issue of the cost and just makes you wonder how a small jar could cost that much. So today I am writing this post for you skincare lovers to show you affordable skincare products on Amazon.

BEAUTY PRODUCTS I’M LOVING THIS MONTH

May 18, 2017 16 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I know it’s been a while from my last post but I am back now. This week has been a little bit hectic with my son getting scarlet fever and me an infection following that, not an interesting week at all, I am still on medication but all will be fine. In my post on my skin care routine I mentioned how I was going to start trying out other products that I had wanted to and after using them for sometime now, I really like how they make my skin feel and help with my blemishes and hormonal breakouts. These are the beauty products I’m loving this month.

MY CURRENT NATURAL HAIR PRODUCTS

April 18, 2017 4 Comments

Hello everyone, I hope that your long weekend went well and are now ready for another week. We all know that women in general like looking good and our hair is a big part of our image. I have natural hair and I try to take care of it as much as I can from my washing routines, deep conditioning, moisturising and protective styling. All that always relies on having hair products that are staples and work well to achieve healthy hair. Natural hair is no easy job I tell you, from having routines and schedules to take care of it, only the right products can help make your life easier. These are my current natural hair products.

1.SHAMPOO

I am not going to bore you by saying too much here, I usually shampoo my scalp most of the time but if my hair has too much build up, then I also do the rest of the hair. For my shampoo, I use the Shea Moisture Jamaican black castor oil shampoo which I had put on my current January favourites here, but I had to use it a couple of times to see whether I love it or not and I must say it is a keeper. It cleanses perfectly and leaves your feeling clean but not squeaky clean which I hate the feeling of.

PRODUCTS THAT DIDN’T WORK FOR MY SKIN

December 12, 2016 23 Comments

My skin has never been perfect, before I found what kind of products worked for me, I went through some trial and errors which I highly regretted and asked myself why I even tried them, guess that’s what you get when your striving for perfection. I’ve had acne, allergies, breakouts and even chemical reactions due to skin products I thought would work for me. Here are products that didn’t work for my skin.

1. SHEA BUTTER

Shea butter has been all the rage when it comes to skin care and hair, and as much as I do agree with the hair part, with my skin, this product just went wrong, from all the reviews I read about how it worked for many people with flawless results, I don’t think my face got that memo because what my skin looked like after was just a disappointment, but it was just a way of my skin telling me to just forget about it. My face broke out and looked like a grease ball, just not for me.

2. AFRICAN BLACK SOAP

This is the second product that I read reviews on and bought it the same time with the shea butter, with hair it’s perfect but after two days, it removed my makeup and cleansed my skin but I started itching my face like crazy and then I got hives like an allergic reaction of some sort,I thought it was the apple cider vinegar I was using as a toner and decided to stop the vinegar but it just got worse, so I knew it was the black soap and after I stopped it, my skin reverted back to normal. It may have worked for other people but am not going through that again.
