MAC's All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Collection!

I absolutely love MAC's new All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Collection that officially launched yesterday! This collection focuses on a universal appeal, offering shades for every skin tone that could be found around the world! Earthy toned lipsticks, lip glosses, eye shadows, powder blush, and more fill this collection to make it their most diverse line yet. I think this has to be on of my favorite lines that MAC has ever come out with...besides the Hello Kitty line of course! =)

Crest Classic White Strips!

I think it's pretty safe to say that I have a beautiful smile! :-) I've decided that i want to brighten my million dollar smile by using the Crest Classic White Strips. I've looked into getting my teeth professionally whitened, but quite frankly it is just way too expensive for me! I have heard many great things about the Crest White Strips from blogs and reviews so I thought they would be worth a try! The 14 day teeth whitening system cost me about $25, but if they work as people say they do then $25 is well worth it! Today is my first day using them and I will most definitely update you all after the 14 days is over! I'm so excited! =)
Here I am with my strips on! You can't see them...but I can feel them!

Revlon Colorsilk Hair Color!

When I was in the 9th grade I went crazy with hair color. I once dyed my hair 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY! I didn't get the results that I wanted and I wouldn't dare go to school looking a mess, so I kept dying it! Horrible I know, and for almost a year I was regretting it. My hair was falling out and I cried every time I looked in the mirror to do my hair! Every since then I have almost been anti hair dying! My hair still had some of the color in it from a few years ago and when I get my hair relaxed it kept getting lighter and lighter. I hated my two toned hair so...I decided to dye it, but being smart about it this time! I knew for sure that I would have to deep condition it for a long time so that my hair wouldn't break. I went with a drugstore brand of hair color, Revlon because I have heard good things about their hair color. Revlon's Colorsilk Collection of permanent hair colors are ammonia free and it worked great on my hair! I was so pleased with the results! My hair is finally all one tone, I haven't seen my hair all one tone in almost two years. I'm so happy for it to be all black again! Black 10 to be exact! The Revlon Colorsilk collection comes in 41 shades, so there is a beautiful hue for everyone!

Homemade Skincare Pt 6: Exfoliating Foot Mask!

Of all of the homemade skincare recipe's, the exfoliating foot mask is by far my favorite! I love having my feet pampered, who doesn't?! You can get the same results from this at home treatment that you would get from going to the salon or spa! Just follow this recipe and you will be on your way to smooth, happy feet!

Exfoliating Foot Mask

1/2 cup of ground oatmeal
1/2 cup of cornmeal
1/2 cup of coarse salt
1/2 cup of scented or unscented body lotion
4 tablespoons of aloe vera gel

After all ingredients are mixed well together, apply the scrub to your feet and ankles and gently massage. Do that for a few minutes and then wash off. Your feet will feel so relieved and smooth! This scrub really works and it's gentle enough that it won't tickle your toesies!
*All ingredients can be purchased at your local drug or grocery stores!

Homemade Skincare Pt 5: Honey Cleanser!

Cleansing is the most important step in the skin care process. Breaking down all the dirt and makeup from your face is very important in helping prevent any breakouts and keeping a nice, well balanced complexion. The honey cleanser, which is a mixture of castile soap and 1 teaspoon of honey, does just that! When mixed, the honey and castile soap create a thick solution that lathers up great. It's gentle enough to rub over your (closed) eyes and tough enough to remove dirt and makeup from your face.
*There is a not so good smell to this recipe due to the castile soap and your skin does feel a little dry, so a deep moisturizer is highly recommended!
