Hot Shot Tools Nano Ceramic Flat Iron

My lovely boyfriend purchased this flat iron for me from Sally Beauty Supply for $50.  IT IS AMAZING! It heats up to 450 degrees in less than 10 seconds.  It also has curved edges allowing you to curl your hair as well.  I have had a CHI iron in the past, and I truly believe this one works much better for half the price!  I LOVE this flat iron!  Much thanks to my boyfriend for being such a sweetheart.<3

How I cleared my acne?

Starting at about age 12, I started experiencing acne.  I tried everything to clear it up- Pro Activ, Clinique, Avon, I even had a prescription medication. Nothing was working.  When I was about 14, my acne became very severe, and it was humiliating.  One day, I was cleaning my bathroom and found a bottle of Johnsons Vanilla Oatmeal Baby Wash. Considering it was designed for babies, I figured it obviously had to be a very gentle, mild soap.  I have acne-prone sensitive skin, meaning a gentle, mild soap was just what my skin needed. I was very curious to try this as a facial cleanser; I mean, my acne couldn't have gotten any worse, so I figured I didn't have much to lose. After about a week, I started noticing my acne disappear, and within 2-3 weeks, my acne was gone! I was so excited that I finally found a cleanser that worked! Even better, it was dirt cheap for a massive bottle. I have been using this as a cleanser for a little over a year, and it hasn't failed me yet!  I do get the occasional zit, but that's expected.  The gentle formula is tear-free, so it also works well as an eye make up remover, and it does not irritate your eyes. I only wash my face once day during my shower, (I'm trying to wash it twice a day now, but I'm kind of lazy with that) and then I moisturize after my shower.  I'm currently using Clean&Clear Morning Glow Moisturizer, but I can't say I'm totally satisfied with this product, so I would recommend searching for a better moisturizer- I will let you know when I find one I love!  I hope this post was helpful to you, and maybe now you can be on your way to having beautiful, acne-free skin as well!

Tresseme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray

This product is a MUST-HAVE!  Definitely essential for everyone who uses any kind of hot tools on their hair (curling irons, flat irons, blow dryers, etc.).  I would say this is a much cheaper alternative for the Chi Iron Guard.  It does an amazing job protecting your hair from the heat, but I find that it also helps smooth my hair and tame the frizz.  I have been using this product for nearly two years, and I've been loving it since then.  Ladies, the key to beautiful hair is simply to keep it healthy.  Using heat on your hair is NOT good for your hair, so protect it, for cheap.  You can find this product at any local drugstore for under $5.

E.L.F. 100 eye shadow palette

I purchased this E.L.F. 100 eye shadow palette with high hopes after reading several good reviews. Unfortunately, I personally didn't care for it so much. I guess you could say it is a decent palette considering the price ($10), but I probably wouldn't purchase it again.  It does have several beautiful colors, but they are not very pigmented.  If you are looking for a cheap palette with several colors, this could work for you; but if you want good quality, I would recommend checking out BH cosmetics, or Coastal Scents.

Bare Escentuals Prime Time Foundation Primer

I absolutely love using this primer when I wear my Bare Escentuals mineral foundation, or with any foundation for that matter!  It creates a smooth base for your foundation, and really makes your skin feel like silk. It does a wonderful job evening your skin tone to help your foundation appear flawless.  I haven't gone a day without using this primer since the day I purchased it!  You can find it at Ulta, Sephora, or any Bare Escentuals store located near you. I highly recomend giving this product a shot!

L'Oreal True Match Foundation!

This foundation is simply amazing!  I have been using this foundation for about a year, and I am absolutely in LOVE with this product.  It comes in a wide variety of shades, so it is easy to find one that matches your skin perfectly!  It also provides medium to full coverage.  It does not appear cakey, and feels smooth on your skin.  You can find this product at any drugstore, for an excellent price! I highly recommend this product to all of you!
