Hi guys! 😀 Last Friday I got this lovely Cherie package. They gifted me the OLE HENRIKSEN - Banana Bright Vitamin C Serumand the OWA HAIRCARE - Moondust Collection Unscented: Hair Wash It is my first time seeing a non liquid hair wash. I was so surprised when I saw the dust 😯 It doesn’t have a smell at all. Neither a color, it is just plain white dust. According to the directions I just need to apply the dust in my hand and activate it with some water before applying to my scalp. I might try it on my next wash to see how does it feel. 😃 I also got the Vitamin C serum. I have read some mixed reviews about this product. The majority of the reviews are about causing acne on acne prone skin. 😳 The texture is liquid with an orange color, it also has an orange smell. I am kind of scare to give it a try, but I will for one week. I will take before and after pictures just to double check at the results. 🙂 Thank you so much to my @cheriefamily for sending me these lovely gifts. 😙 And stay tune for future reviews on these. ☺️

-Hey! Thanks for reading me in advance. 😃💖- I can say that everytime I would try any other toner that contains BHA (a type of salicylic acid derived from natural sources) my face would have a reaction to it. I would look red, my breakouts would go crazy and it would even strip my skin barrier. Having acne is already enough of a problem to also have these reactions from a toner that it’s supposed to help me. But wth. Either way I found the perfect sensitive skin toner for my acne prone skin. 💖 What is this toner? Is an Alcohol free toner with a 2% of BHA that gently exfoliates the skin, deep cleans pores and controls oil without stripping your skin barrier. YASSS that’s what we look for 🥰 What’s special about it? 2% BHA (salicylic acid) plus the Papaya Enzymes helps to exfoliate and minimize the look of your pores in a gently way. The water light formula draws out the excess of oil to help reduce shine. There is Moringa (is an anti fungal and anti inflammatory plant) which helps to purify and refresh the skin with its antioxidants. My experience: I began to use this toner about 4 weeks ago. Honestly, I don’t have a complain. 😬 It is so gentle to my acne prone skin. It helps to minimize those pores that I had on the sides of my nose and checks. Now that I use make up they are barely there. The oils of my T-Zone are controlled. And I have also seen that it helps my moisturizer to be better absorbed after applying this toner. It’s surely helpful and not harsh at all. If you have a sensitive skin or acne prone skin like, this is a go to for you. 🥰 Can’t complain about the cute little glass bottle as well. It is so nice to look at, as you can see in the pics. 🤗

Hi everyone- it’s been awhile! Between moving houses and the Holiday season, I’ve been super busy. But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been trying out some new products for you all! Over the last month I’ve found some new staples from an amazing New Zealand brand called Antipodes that really take my natural glow to the next level. The first things that caught my eye were the scientific and ethical claims, completely vegan and scientifically backed bioactive ingredients— this means whatever ingredients they include has a claim that is scientifically and clinically tested by independent labs. Antipodes is also committed to repurposing, reusing and recycling. This includes using recyclable boxes made from 100% biodegradable cardboard from sustainable forests as well as glass bottles, aluminum tubes, and printing with 100% eco ink from vegetables. Totally amazing! And no guilt from purchasing. They have various skincare lines based on different ingredients. I was looking for hydrators and glow, so I picked the manuka honey line. I love honey, it’s one of my favorite things to use in skincare so it was an easy choice. ANTIPODES - Aura Manuka Honey Mask utilizes sustainably wild‐sourced manuka honey from New Zealand which locks moisture into the skin, while helping to keep skin super fresh and blemish‐free because It’s antibacterial, which means acne causing bacteria can’t grow as easily on skin. The second key ingredient is Pohutukawa, which is extracted from a New Zealand native tree (don’t worry, they sustainably grow and harvest!) that conditions and deeply moisturizes. These essential minerals are easily absorbed into the skin because of the mud’s fine texture. It can support the stimulation of skin regeneration and help to powerfully detox and transform the texture of your skin. It smells like oranges and vanilla with a touch of honey and leaves you soft, smooth, HYDRATED, and glowing. At 32$, a little goes a long way. It’s not priced as expensive as other masks though it could be with all the amazing ingredients. Another winner for amazing glow and hydration is ANTIPODES - Manuka Honey Eye Cream 30ml which is the best eye cream I’ve used. No irritation or milia no matter how much I apply, and it doesn’t sting eyes. Manuka honey hydrates while kiwi and grape seed extracts brighten even the darkest bags and veins. This smells like oats and honey, and is super luxurious feeling. I need half a pea for both eyes, morning and night. Though eye cream sometimes feels like a chore, I really enjoy using this one. Though it’s 46$, I can see it will last me for a very long time. Do you have a go-to ingredient you’ve always used? i’ve always used honey, even as a kid making oat and honey face masks. I love finding products that elevate my skincare experience while keeping true to what I believe!

PETER THOMAS ROTH - Max Complexion Salicylic Acid Pore Refining Pads Was something that caught my eye because the dr Dennis ones were getting pricey and this just was much less waste as well Price $46/ 60ct which is reasonable as it’s meant as a daily use item so $0.76 cents/day Claims to improve look of pores ,help uneven texture and clear blemishes Ingredients that exfoliate like salicylic and glycolic acid as well as anti-aging ingredients like peach fruit extract Initial reaction to this product was wow this smells strong definitely held my breath a little when using and not in a small room but product size wise it’s more than enough for your whole face , product is on a nice round cotton , with a wet wipe like texture that comes in a plastic jar container Long term benefits/short term benefits I saw from this product were pretty efficient,felt tight and polished initially after the product dries on my face also not a daily use product for me as it does have some long term benefits helping texture on my forhead and even reducing the look of my pores so I started to use other products Only reason I really rated it a 4 was because wow that smell was very potent and hurt my nose when inhaled too much also my skin isn’t sensitive so if your skin is sensitive please do a patch test!! anese - That booty tho. The Original Booty Scrub This product has been a repurchase for me and was honestly originally done on a whim after seeing their Instagram page ads and such Luckily it was a product I got good use out of and nice results Price $29 /2oz which isn’t bad at all especially since it’s not a daily use item Claims to help with acne, cellulite and stretch marks Ingredients that exfoliate like walnut shells and hydrating ingredients such as Shea butter and jojoba seed oil Initial reaction was wow this smells different not a “nice “smell almost earthy but texture wise definitely felt like a scrub they recommend one scoop 2-3x week for a nice plump look but only used in shower so kept it there as it comes in a nice sturdy glass jar Long term benefits/ short term benefit is that initial hydration it leaves behind definitely like an oil like moisture not cream like left behind and long term I saw great improvement on my bum clearing up and even looking almost polished! And was as smooth as butter 🧈 I recommend this scrub for the bum!

Acrylic tip with gel ORLY - GELFX Builder in A Bottle Intro Kit and nail stickers Nail art doesn’t have to be hard you can order an array of pretty nail stickers on Etsy / amazon for a couple of dollars Which makes at home nails easier to decorate Will definitely be ordering more stickers for future purposes and did a marble effect on my nails a trick I learned is put dots of the gel color them with another clean up brush mix them in the direction you’d like the pattern to go then top coat and boom there’s salon nail art inspo ✨

I kid you not, this works !!!! Really smooth out my skin. Usually when I shave there is some irritation and itchy going around. When I instantly put the deodorant after I finished shaving it automatically soothe and calm my skins. You must try to see it yourself!!!! I typically like to keep my private part area clean so that’s where I applied the deodorant. Here is some knowledge and truth why this work! Razor bumps are not very appealing, but shaving, plucking, and waxing are the primary culprit. The deodorant offer a bit of healing that consist of aluminum chloride that works like an astringent to cleanse any bacteria hanging around your bumps. ”Aluminum chloride is an antiperspirant that works by affecting the cells that produce sweat” (https://www.mottchildren.org/health-library/d01322a1#:~:text=Aluminum%20chloride%20hexahydrate%20is%20an,excessive%20sweating%2C%20also%20called%20hyperhidrosis. Even though this ingredient help reduce your sweat, in other terms it also help treat my razor bumps. This is based on my understanding and research, that personally works for me. I highly recommend you do more research before you use! In my opinion, men’s razor works more efficiently than the women. I got mine at Costco, or you can get at any drugstore. NATIVE - Coconut & Vanilla (Sensitive) I honestly cherish this deodorant. Clean ingredients, and stay on for a long time! Even though it is a bit pricy, it is worth every penny. They also have different scents, by far the coconut vanilla is my favorite^^

BACKSTORY: A few weeks ago I had no idea what was going on because my skin has never broken out before! I’ve practically had pretty clear skin all of my life. WHAT HAPPENED?? : I’m 22 now and I tried out oil cleansing to clear out my black heads... worst. mistake. of my life. It completely broke me out into tiny little bumps that were skin colored and it was gross genuinely gross. When I would wash my face or run my fingers on my face it was bumpy practically everywhere. Specifically my t zone forehand was minimal, cheeks around my nose, around my mouth and chin. My skin was super textured everywhere. Then BOOM!!! 💥 my face exploded into a ton of pimples one after the other it seemed like it was never going to get better. One would heal and 3 new ones would pop up. I tried everything underneath the sun. I had many breakdowns and breakouts! My skin is finally getting better and could not be more thankful!!!! WHAT BROKE ME OUT: DHC - Deep Cleansing Oil and Lip Cream Gift Set - This is really just is not for everyone. ROUTINE: CeraVe - Foaming Facial Cleanser For Normal To Oily Skin - The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I find it drying but it’s been helping a lot!! #Dr. Eddie’s - Happy Cappy[products]#[FiveStars] - This contains zinc pyrthione which helps so much with acne, closed comedones, fungal acne and it’s a shampoo for babies so i found it to be really gentle on the skin CeraVe - AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 - again I didn’t find it to be super moisturizing, but it’s okay I need to find something non comedogenic that will help my stay hydrated. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • MY SKIN TYPE: I stripped down to the basics and just for reference I have comboish skin (oilier T zone, dry/normal everywhere else) although lately it’s been more dry since I started moisturizing which is odd but really I need to find a better moisturizer. **** These pictures were taken 6 days apart **** 📷 September 9th - September 15th I hope someone finds this helpful ❤️ if they have experienced an oil cleansing disaster like I did
