Weekend Rewind. What's in my Bag?

Hey Hey! So, I promised you Friday that I was going to do better about blogging.

I had to push myself to do this Weekend Rewind post so feel very special that

I had you in mind! : )

You will notice shortly a theme to this post... or maybe not. For those of you that

are like me and not very observant I will tell you... every picture and product has Orange

in it! I actually bought one other thing, but it wasn't orange so I decided to not

mess up my consistency I have going in this post! I will do another post soon

on the eyshadow duo, Loreal Hip in the shade 510 electrified.

One thing I am going to try to get better at in blogging is reviewing more products that

I mention/use. I feel like I blog about things I buy, but I want you to get reviews as

well so you can know what I like/don't like about certain things I may mention.

So, with that said... here is what was in my bag this weekend. I did a little

copy-catting this weekend and bought items that were mentioned in a recent

youtube video by Kandee Johnson. She did a video on her nighttime cleansing routine

and after watching decided I wanted to give Burt's Bee products a chance!

Burt's Bees Orange Essence Facial Cleanser.

Kandee actually didn't mention this face wash, but when I was buying the scrub below

I decided that the cleanser and scrub would work really well together and decided

to get both. This cleanser is an award winning product that claims to "gently

remove all traces of dirt, oil, makeup, and pollutants while moisturizing and

conditioning the skin."

Retails for $8.99

As most of you probably know Burt's Bees products are 100% natural ingredients.

You can purchase at Whole Foods, Drugstore, or Wal-Mart.

Burt's Bees Citrus Facial Scrub

This is the product Kandee Johnson claims to use as her primary means of removing

her makeup. She says in her video that it's not too harsh to use every day to cleanse

as well as exfoliate. Scrub claims to "leave your skin fresh and dewy as it exfoliates

dead skin cells."

It retails for $8.99

Alba un-petroleum Jelly

This was another product Kandee talked about in her video. She uses this jelly

under her eyes, forehead, and smile lines for added moisturizing. It has a vaseline

texture feel to it, but she said that it won't clog your pores or leave you with break-outs

b/c of the ingredients used. It has seed oil, coconut oil, beeswax, and Vitamin E

among a few other things.

I plan to use this mostly under my eyes, forehead (where I have expression lines) and

maybe a little around smile lines. I doubt I will use all over my face or too much in the

T-zone since I tend to break out in that area.

Ahhh yes, Vitamin C gummies how I have longed for your goodness!! So, the

last few rounds of Vitamin C I have taken have either been the chewable tablets or

Flinestone chewables, which are like eating candy!! I haven't been taking any C

for a while now and several people around me have been sick and with Holidays coming

up I want to do some preventative action!!

I am SO excited about the gummies though. I would take the multi-vitamin in a gummie

too if they weren't so darn expensive!! It's like $13... crazy!

I got these at Wal-Mart for $4.95

And good ole One A Day. I have been slacking on my vitamins lately so

back to the daily grind!

Yay for staying healthy during this crazy, but joyful time of the year!

Have a lovely day!

Friday Faves

Well HELLOOOO there beauties!

After a near month break of blogging, I'm back! Where have you been you say?

Why did you stop blogging? hmmm. I'm not really sure. Laziness, planning trips

to NYC and Mexico, and best of all I got a baby puppy dog last week!! She is a light

apricot maltipoo named Millie and she has consumed my world. I will do a post on her

soon so you can meet this precious little angel!

So, I'm going to try my best to keep up with blogging and doing more reviews, but with

the Holidays quickly approaching I'm not making any promises! : ) Things get cray cray

around this time of the year.

So, I do have a Friday Product Fave that I wanted to blog about. I bought the Revlon

Photo Ready concealer about a month ago and have been using every day under my eyes and

on any blemishes I have!

Guys, I have to say I am so into this concealer. I have quit using my higher end

stuff and grab for this over the expensive stuff now! It is a stick which would lead you

to believe it would be a more dry consistency. Negative. It is the most creamy, smooth,

blendable concealer.

My face recently decided to turn into a pizza right before my trip to NYC and this

stuff covered my blemishes like nobody's business! I even showed my girlfriends on the

trip how well it hide my pepperoni face. They were all impressed and wanted to use it!

It's a bit more expensive than maybe your average drug store product, but much better

than a department store. Retails for $9.99.

I purchased the 003 light/medium shade and it works perfect for me for anyone that

is interested in knowing.

Ok, so this was a quickie. : ) Hope you enjoyed. I will do better, I promise!

Have a Fabulous weekend!
