Clear Hydrated Skin The Clean Way✨
Staying in the trend of clean beauty, I have found an amazing product to add to my everyday routine.
Odacité SKINCARE - Blue Aura Cleansing Water
This is a cleansing water that is marketed to use in place of your cleanser for a “quick” clean.
When looking for a good cleansing water, you want one that is hydrating and gets your face clean. Keep in mind not all cleansing waters are designed to clean makeup (I highly recommend a cleansing balm and cleanser).
About This Brand:
✨Vegan
✨Cruelty Free
✨Certified Organic
✨ NO: Fillers | Parabens | Nanoparticles | Petrochemicals | PEG | Synthetic perfumes | Dyes | Phenoxyethanol.
This cleansing water is so hydrating and satisfying to use. It smells very fresh and a little goes a long way. What is very important to me is my dry spot aren’t tight or irritated. I have been using this day and night and have seen amazing results acne and skin barrier wise.
I included this in my routine after a regular cleanser and before my serums. So essentially, I use this as a “toner”. I do this to clean up anything my cleanse left behind, or the cleanser itself.
INGREDIENTS:
✨Tumeric: Amazing for hyperpigmentation and overall skin brightness
✨Holy Basil: I drink the tea and can vouch this is an amazing adaptogen that can overall benefit every aspect of your life. It combats aging and free radical damage.
✨Neem: great anti aging ingredient that helps protects your skin barrier.
✨Aloe Vera Juice: this is great for your skin barrier overall. It hydrated, protects and brightens.
I highly recommend this cleansing water and it is on sale for $9 at Boxycharm Pop Up 🥰🥰
HOLY GRAIL SPF 🌞🌞🌞
Okay guys as I have said before I am guilty of rarely ever wearing sunscreen. I just never liked the feel of it on my skin. I always felt like it made me greasy & clogged my pores.
However, once I heard about this product I was very intrigued.
NIOD - Survival 30
It actually isn’t sold in the United States for some reason so I had to purchase it on a UK website. (Beauty Bay)
It is an antioxidant serum with SPF 30.
At first, it appears to be tinted but it’s actually not.
On NIOD’s website they state: “The slight tinted appearance is derived from the active technologies including Lutein, Fractionated Melanin and Pycnogenol.”
It blends in with your skin so easily & does not leave a white cast like some other SPF products.
However this serum literally makes my skin tone soo even & perfect!
It also contains silicone so it completely smooths over my pores.
AND besides all that great stuff, it’s a mineral sunscreen!
So it protects against environmental & lifestyle issues. Like UV rays, blue light, etc.
I have never loved a product as much as this one!
I literally cannot believe how good my skin looks while using this stuff!
For a 30ml bottle, I paid $33 on the Beauty Bay site.
For me, that is completely worth it! It comes in this adorable packaging & pretty glass bottle. It also has a pump dispenser & squirts out the perfect amount for a single use!
I really can’t recommend this stuff enough guys!
It’s wonderful!!

DISAPPOINTED BY THESE 100% NATURAL PRODUCTS 😩
I was so excited to try these out because I love moisturizers & I am always in search of a good one!
These looked & sounded very promising!
They’re from a woman owned company, completely natural, vegan, & cruelty free!
However, I was quite disappointed.
EARTH HARBOR - MERMAID MILK Nutrient Glow Moisturizer
This moisturizer claims to give you a glow right away & it contains spirulina + matcha. I was excited about the matcha because it has so many amazing benefits for skin. It has a very whipped consistency which I like. However it always contains essential oils that were strong, although not toooo strong for my liking. But I’m really just not a fan of essential oils in my face creams. The moisturizer did make my skin appear a little brighter but the cream just sat on my face. All day long I could touch my face & still feel the cream sitting there! I hate that feeling! It also almost gave me a greasy appearance after a while? Not a fan.
EARTH HARBOR - SIREN SILK Multi-Tasking Hydration Creme
This one was absolutely awful. If I could give it 0 stars I would. It says to use it at night time & the apply it at least 5 minutes before bed so it can absorb on your face & not your pillow. It contains Sea Retinol + other Superherbs which normally make me love a product! But that just wasn’t enough here. First, when I put it on my face my eyes started to actually burn & I felt suffocated from the scent. It was THAT strong. Guys, I’m not being dramatic at all. The smell like attacked me it was crazy! I have never had something like that happen with a face cream! I couldn’t believe how strong the fragrance was. & to top it off, it wasn’t even a pretty smell. My husband described it as smelling like floor cleaner. But I powered through. The longer I had it on, the more “used” to the smell I got. So, I wore it overnight. But then I woke up even more upset with it! I had pilling all over my face. It almost looked like my face was peeling but it wasn’t, it was jus the cream.
One thing I cannot stand about a moisturizer is pulling. That’s enough for me to throw it out!
It also didn’t really even moisturize my face that well!
All in all, I hated this experience. But if you want, you should try them out for yourself, don’t let my experience deter you from trying something new!
I however, will be sticking with my Youth To The People Dream Mask & Superfood Whipped Moisturizer!
Love those two!!
YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask
YOUTH TO THE PEOPLE - Superfood Air-Whip Moisture Cream

A Journey of Self 🌹
I figured Black History Month was as good as any opportunity to talk about my self finding. Growing up in a small yet old family, I always had questions about my roots and family history. I also struggled with self conscious doubts about my appearance. Why is my nose this big? Why is my hair this curly? Why am I taller than average? These weighed heavy on my mind growing up because honestly, sticking out sucked. So, I finally dove deep into my family’s origin and decided to do an Ancestry DNA analysis.
I immersed myself with every corner of the site. I only got the chance to finish my maternal grandmas side of the family tree, but even that has plenty of gaps. Yet, when I received my DNA results I was stoked. Then I realized, I don’t know much about any of these places. So I dug even deeper. I have a little journal of things I’ve learned and want to know, but this was quite the experience. It was heartbreaking and satisfying at the same time. I highly recommend for every race and background to do this DNA Test.
The best part of this was scrolling through photos of the people of the respected countries I was DNA matched to. I swear I saw a girl who looked like me, but everyone else thinks I’m tripping lol. In the end, I’m satisfied with my results and findings. Relatively speaking, this way of self discovery has been the most effective.
Black Owned Makeup Look
So I decided to use the products I pictured in my first photo (minus my highlight shade and lipstick)
I used the #Ace Beaute - Nostalgia Palette[products]#[FiveStars] for my entire eye look.
I definitely enjoyed these products. My only advice is to shake the UOMA BEAUTY - Say What?! Foundation before use (because it can come out watery) but the coverage is absolutely flawless. I was shocked with the consistency the coverage I got.
What’s your favorite black owned brands?
(I do not own right to the song)
