Own Firming Silk Concentrate Review

Hello beauties, today I will be reviewing the firming silk concentrate by Own Skin Health. This is going to be a straight to the point post, but still informative so without further to do let's get to it!

Product Description

Visibly reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles for more vibrant skin. The naturally derived and patented CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) formula in Own Anti-Aging Firming Silk Concentrate works with your body to treat all three layers of skin through a power-packed serum that’s proven to absorb easily without leaving a residue. Own Firming Silk Concentrate works with your own body’s chemistry to reactivate healthy processes and rebuild the skin’s structures for brighter, taut, and genuinely younger-looking skin.

• Retinol-free formula                                                                                            
• Does not cause irritation, redness or flakiness
• Dermatologist-tested
• Fragrance-free
• Paraben-free
• Sulfate-free

The first thing i noticed with this product is how runny it is. To me, it's not a typical serum where it feels more like a gel. It's almost like an oil/water mixture, but it is so light on the skin! Seriously, it feels incredibly light and silky but it does provide moisture. I've been using this after I cleanse my face, before moisturizing. It's got a dropper where you dispense the product on your hand and you only need 4 drops for your whole face and neck. It's also not greasy-feeling at all, which is a big plus for me. Once I wake up in the morning, I notice that my skin feels really soft and actually looks really healthy and glow-y  I've also noticed, and it may be just me, but it seems to make my pores look smaller! I'm not sure how it does that but I definitely notice a difference when I've used this the night before. I've only been using this for about a month now, but I can't wait to see what the long term effects are on my skin! I haven't had any issues with breakouts either from using this product, so it's safe to say this is having a positive effect on my skin so far! I don't have wrinkles on my face so I'm not really helpful with that, but this product is amazing.

My face feels softer and just absolutely lovely! If you would like to check out more about this product or if you are interested click here, you can also find these products at ulta. Well that is it for this review if you have tried this product what are your thoughts on it? Well I shall talk to you lovely people in my next post.  #OwnAtUlta

How to go from black to brown hair w/out bleach

Hello my lovely angels! I'm so excited for this post it's a bit random but I hope it will be useful to someone else. Today I dye my hair, I now have reddish-brown hair and previously my hair was black and I didn't even need bleach! I know it seems impossible, believe me I tried so many times so when I wanted a light hair color I bleached it. There are two different non-bleaching methods you can use and the one I'm going to discuss in this post is using blonde hair dye.

I used Revlon Color Silk in 03 Ultra Light Sun Blonde. Basically your just going to dye your hair like normal and if your hair isn't as dark I would suggest going with a blonde shade a bit darker than this one. I waited 30 minutes and I love the results! I am no longer rocking black hair but reddish-brown hair and I love it!
Sorry if this isn't super in-depth but it's straight to the point and very easy to follow.
If you would like to know about another way to achieving lighter hair just let me know in the comments below.

Relogy Acne Treatment

  As I mentioned in a couple of posts ago I ordered 3 items from the Ifabbo shop. The second item I got was the Relogy 2-Step Acne System. I received a Dual action treatment foam, natural skin balancing lotion with coconut milk, targeted spot treatment, a little bag and a guide to clear skin.
 
    I have acne prone skin and when I breakout, I breakout horribly it's like I'm going through puberty all over again! The weekend before I received these products I had broken out. Luckily this was waiting for me and became my life saver! I had used it immediately and within a week my face was slowly clearing up.

   Now let me give you some information on these products. Relogy doesn't use harsh chemicals that irritate your skin or result in side effects. Also these products are cruelty free.

   The innovative dual action treatment foam penetrates deep into your skin's surface to start clearing up acne immediately. It's innovative system of active ingredients fights acne differently than ordinary acne products. This unique blend of botanically based ingredients promotes healing and has a soothing anti-inflammatory effect on your skin. Also you can use this dual action foam as a topical treatment (which doesn't require rinsing) or you can use it as a treatment cleanser (with rinsing).
 

   The natural  skin balancing lotion with coconut milk is made with 100% natural vegan-friendly ingredients. It is the ultimate side-effect preventer, as it keeps your skin soft, hydrated, and nourished. All you need is a pea-sized amount  and massage into your skin. If you have oily skin just use it once a day, I usually use it in the mornings. It's just what you need for healthy glowing skin.
 

   The targeted spot treatment with seaweed extract goes straight to work on blemishes to further boost your results. A cooling roller-ball applicator applies anti-inflammatory treatment directly where you need it.

    I really love these products they are so gentle on your face that people with sensitive skin can use it! I have incorporated these items into my daily skin care routine. If you would like to check out these products click here.

Update

Hello my beautiful angels!

So I've been meaning to do this post for a while now and I'm finally getting to it, better late than never right? As you know google is shutting down the reader thing and I have set up a bloglovin account so you can follow me there, or even my social media: twitter, or facebook. I post my blog post on all of those accounts, so you'll never be out of the loop.

Also today I found out I was featured in Ifabbo's blogger spotlight!

I don't think I have anything else to say, except thank you guys for the continuous support and I love you all! <3 If you have any requests of what you would like to see whether it be a review or look just let me know.

I shall talk to you all very soon, have a wonderful day.

Own Skin Health Refining Moisture Night Cream Review

Hello beauties, today I will be reviewing the refining moisture night cream by Own Skin Health. As being a part of iFabbo I get to shop in their exclusive shop. I had bought 3 items but I will be reviewing the other 2 items in the upcoming weeks. Anyway, I had bought this product because I was in need of a night moisturizer and decided to give this a try.

Here's a little bit of information from Own's website about this product:
Hydrate and illuminate your skin nightly with a luxurious formula designed to fight all three causes of aging while you rest. Own Anti-Aging Refining Night Cream features clinically proven CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) technology, a plant-based ingredient designed to enhance collagen levels, improve moisture retention, and boost metabolism for softer, smoother, and genuinely younger-looking skin. 94% of women who tried Own Anti-Aging Refining Night Cream reported that it absorbs easily and penetrates the skin quickly.

Product Details
● Retinol-free
● Does not cause irritation, redness or flakiness
● Dermatologist-tested
● Paraben-free
● Sulfate-free

I absolutely love this moisturizer. I've been using this moisturizer for about 3 weeks and already I see amazing results. This moisturizer not only moisturizers and firms but also evens skin tone! I have dark spots on both sides of my cheek and in the few weeks I've been using it, I can barely see the spot on one side, the other is still slightly visible but not as much as it was before and also my skin feels super soft, I love it! It does absorb quickly into your skin. The only thing is if you put a lot of the product on your face you will wake up with a super oily face. So with that being said I would recommend using only a little bit. In 8-12 weeks you will see significant results. If you're in your early twenties it's a good time to start incorporating anti-aging products to your nightly routine. Your body will make better use of it and you'll wake up with a bright looking face.

I absolutely recommend this to everyone especially if you have dark spots and wrinkles.. If you would like to see more information or if you're interested click here, you can also find these products at ulta and right now they are having a sale, you buy one you get the other half off. This has become my night time miracle product. If you are interested in seeing an updated post once I reach 12 weeks, let me know in the comment section or if you've tried this product let me know your thoughts. #OwnAtUlta

LA Color Jumbo Pencil Review

  I'm a huge fan LA Colors fan they are my absolutely favorite drugstore brand! Recently they have released their new jumbo eyeliner pencils. I was at family dollar and saw they had a white one so I decided to buy it.

Here's what LA Colors has to say about this product:

LONG LASTING
VIBRANT SHADES
SMOOTH APPLICATION

Skip the traditional powder eyeshadow and try a jumbo eyeshadow pencil. It allows you to use as an eyeliner for bold lines or blend out for a subtle effect. Display comes complete with dual sharpener for easy sharpening.

 

 NYX's Jumbo Pencil on the left and LA Color on the right.

Left:No Base Middle: LA Color Right: NYX

  The pencil s bought is called Sea Shell and is very similar to the NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk. It's very creamy and blends out like butter. It blends to a pale white but still makes your shadows pop. It's a bit smaller than NYX's, it's 13 oz compared to 18 oz.

This is a great dupe for the NYX's Jumbo eye pencils especially if you are nowhere near an ulta or don't have time to order online. These are also cruelty free. The colors they come in are: white, grey, black, green, baby blue, blue, and purple. However, they have way more colors on their website.They cost $1.50. I absolutely love this pencil and will definitely try more. These are absolutely amazing and are worth the try, you can find these pencils at any dollar general or family dollar.

Wet N Wild Take On The Day Eyeshadow Primer

So recently Wet n Wild came out with a Fergie makeup collection. Not only are these makeup items the hottest thing to hit the market but also the collection features the first ever drugstore eye primer, Take On The Day Eyeshadow Primer, that is comparable to high end eyeshadow primers. This primer is an amazing dupe for Urban Decay's Primer Potion.

This is what Wet n Wild has to say about the primer:

In keeping with Fergie’s mission of bringing prestige to the masses, the eye primer is a key 

product. This perfect primer turns prestige formulations to everyday wear. Amazing formula 

preps and brightens eyelids for shadow application in an all-day formula. Glides effortlessly 

onto the skin providing the ultimate eye prep for smoother, more vibrant shadow and all-day, 

creaseless wear.

 

             The first pic shows what the primer looks like out of the tube, the 2nd is when you blend it out, and the third shows how pigmented a shadow looks on top.

Now let's compare the Primer Potion to this primer. The potion primer is 11 mL and cost $19, this primer is 10 mL and cost $4.99. A big difference in price, right? Anyway, the formula is particularly the same, they dry to a clear finish and keep shadows looking vibrant, however, in my opinion this primer does a better job of making them pop. Also, they both do keep shadows in place for hours! The tube size is almost exactly the same as the Two Faced Shadow Insurance. and all you need is a little bit of product to do the job. Obviously, Wet n Wild is going to give Urban Decay a run for their money with this amazing primer.

As a girl who has oily lids and living in South Texas, I definitely need a primer that is going to do it's job. I will admit when I bought it I was a bit skeptical about it, but after trying it out it has definitely turned out to be   a favorite. It kept my shadows in place and throughout the day the colors remained vibrant.

If you're low on cash and are in need of a primer, this is the one for you! You can find them at any Walgreens or CVS. This is definitely going to be an item I re-purchase in the future. I hope Wet n WIld keeps this product around for a very long time. If you guys used this what are your thoughts on it? I would love to hear your opinions on it. Thank you guys for reading and have a beautiful day!

Milani Color Statement Lipstick

Almost every Beauty Vlogger and Blogger has been talking about the new Milani Color Statement Lipsticks. After hearing nothing but good things I decided to try them out myself. I had originally went to HEB since they carry Milani products but that have not yet received the new shipment so I ended up getting mine from walmart.

They were almost out of every shade! So with the limited choices I decided to get Hot Pink Rage since I absolutely love hot pinks lipstick. Also it has a matte finish and is the only pink in this collection that dries to this finish. The lipstick cost $4.49 which is a dollar cheaper than most places.

This is what Milani says about these lipsticks:

Make a statement without saying a word!  True Instant Color. One stroke, full coverage application. This next generation lipstick gives the ultimate in color, texture and finish. The lightweight creamy formula contains Vitamins A, C, & E to moisturize and nourish lips. Paraben-free. Available in Vinyl, Metallic, Cream, Shimmer, Pearl & Matte finish.

 

This color you can expect great pigmentation in just one swipe! 

Since the lipstick has a matte finish it does unfortunately dry out your lips. It feels kind of uncomfortable but not so much to where it bothers me. As it fades the color will settle into your lines and it looks horrible. I would not recommend this lipstick if your lips are dry. You do need to exfoliate your lip to allow this product to glide on smoothly and look perfect.  

The staying power in my opinion is okay it lasts at most with me 4-6 hours. I usually do line my lips with a lip liner before applying this lipstick. And once it has faded it'll leave a stain on your lips which I like since there is still a bit of color on my lips. 

I am absolutely going to try different shades. If you bought a color statement lipstick I would like to know what color you have? How do you feel about the lipstick? Let me know in the comments below. Have a wonderful day! :)

Profusion Neutral Palette

Have you ever heard of Profusion? Not many people have. I've seen a couple of their products at random stores, I finally decided to pick one up from Big Lots.

 

The one I got, I only bought it because the top was covered in pink glitter and had a little bow on it, who could resist that? And did I mention it was only a dollar!?! I thought the shadows were gonna be really cheapy but they are the complete opposite. 

The palette comes with 10 colors, they range from warm and cool tone neutrals. The shadows do have shimmer in them.

These colors are super pigmented and a little does go a long way. They blend out really smooth like butter. As you can tell in the picture they look as amazing without a base as they do with a base, however, if you do use a base they pop more. 

I absolutely love this palette! I would imagine it to be better than The Urban Decay Naked Palettes, I never used those so I can't really say they are. These are absolutely high quality shadows for a very cheap drugstore price. If you happen to see this brand you should definitely try out their products. And always remember ladies just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's not a great product.
