Blush that will make you glow!

Everyone wants that sun kissed summer glow. EVERYONE. I have managed to find a wonderful blush great for all skin types and it leaves you with a glow that will have everyone wondering whats different.

Benefit's Sugarbomb.
It can be purchased from Sephora or directly from the Benefit website. It will set you back $28 but I have yet to find a better blush. To get a sun kissed glow simply apply your bronzer and then top it off with this. You will need to use a tapered blush brush and apply directly onto the cheek bone under the eye. For the liquid foundation users out there I would also highly recommend Hollywood Glow by the same company.



For a super shimmer I would go with LORAC Baked Matte Satin. Which is $23.

D.O for your B.O

I always say if you are going to switch one product in your medicine cabinet for something natural, change your Deodorant. Regular deodorant contains aluminum that has been shown to cause Alzheimer's along with other things. Everyone I talk to voices the same concern... "Will it work". The answer.. yes and no. If you just use one kind by itself it works but only for a short period of time.. but two in combination works just as well as regular brands in my opinion. The key is to apply it after you shower and have completely dried off. If there is any moisture in that area then the product will not be absorbed.

Here is what I use...
Nature's Gate Deodorant in the Spring Fresh Scent. This one is my favorite. You can buy it in just about any store in the natural section or at whole foods. It will run you about $5 but seems to last A LOT longer than regular deodorant. I have had mine for close to a year and still have some left. It contains Witch Hazel and Oak- Derived Odor Blocker which acts as a type of antiperspirant.







That being said I found it works best in conjunction with this....
J/A/S/O/N Deodorant. This is no where near as good as the one above but instead of throwing out this product I decided to use them both together and ta-da... it works like magic. I only have to apply them both once a day or after every shower.

The quest to beauty

Stop wasting your money on products that provide minimal results and contain harmful ingredients!!!!
Alright guys! I am here to be your go-to for advice on natural (and some not so natural) beauty products. I am known by most of my friends by being the product queen and if you take a look in my bathroom and closet (makeup graveyard ) you would agree. I have tried just about every product in Sephora, MAC and Whole Body and I am here to tell you whats worth your money and what really works!!

Im starting with my favorite products of the week.


I started using this product last Saturday and I have seen dramatic results in under a week. I really love that this product has only 6 ingredients that are completely natural. They include: Olive Oil, Beeswax, Honey, Pollen, Royal Jelly (which is a bee secretion that was been shown to have many holistic benefits) and Propolis Extract.

I recommend applying this before bed with your hair pulled back. You simply rub it in the palm of your hand until it turns into an oil and then apply to your entire face, neck and any other troubled spots on your body. This products feels and looks very oily but is amazing for any skin type. I had an issue with a few breakouts around my hair line and scars from previous breakouts and in under a week they are all completely gone! Also any freckles and brown discoloration from the sun have all faded.

I purchased this product from Whole Body for $32 and its worth every penny! Egyptian magic is a Celeb must have and I highly recommend!




Next... A product called Azrec Secret. This product was also purchased at Whole Body and was only $7!!!!! This is a great buy for a product that provides such amazing results. The only ingredient is Green Clay.

To apply you simply mix equal parts apple cider vinegar (or water, I did both) with the clay. Use only non metal bowls and utensil to stir with! You will stir until you get a thick smooth clay, then apply 1/4 inch thick mask to your face and or body (I also use it on my feet!). You can leave this on anywhere between 5- 20 minutes depending on how sensitive your skin is. After about 3 you will really feel your face pulsate!!! It feels like you are getting a face lift and it can be a bit painful but it leaves your skin soft and smooth... It also helps with breakouts and oily spots but can be used for dry skin as well. Both this and the product above were said to be used by Cleopatra herself!



Lastly and I apologizes for the small picture. Alba Lip Gloss! I love this lip gloss and after seeing the Dr. Oz episode that said regular lip gloss containing petroleum jelly has been shown to contribute to breast cancer. I decided to change brands to help fuel my lip gloss obsession.

I purchased this product from Whole Body but you can also find it at Target.. its only around $3 which is much less than what I had been purchasing from Sephora. It comes in several great flavors and is very easy to apply and not as messy as those with an applicator.
