That’d be great right? Well in taking those steps, I definitely recommend these amazing serums.
I was gifted the:
Intoxicated Cosmetics:
Snake Serum
Bee Serum
Snail Serum
I started using the Snail Serum last night first and wow did I notice a difference.
The Snail Serum mainly targets dryness. I used this in place of my usual night time serum and boy did I notice a difference.
I N G R E D I E N T S :
All Serums contain:
✨Niacinamide
Bee Serum:
Bee Venom
Plant Based Stem Cells
Royal Epigen
Snake Serum
Snake Venom
Green & White Tea Extract
Peptides

My Farewell To Cherie
Follow me on Ig for more skincare since Cherie is leaving 😭 @naturedskinv
This has been an amazing journey and I’ve made soo many amazing friends. Thank you for all the love, conversations, and just overall happiness I’ve experienced on this app.
I’m definitely sad, a little upset, and a dash of confused, but thank you @cheriefor giving me such an amazing confidence boost and guidance. The way the app shaped my thoughts on skincare has been insane. I’m still willing to forget this and call it a joke if y’all are! 😭
Anyways thank you again and hopefully we can stay in touch 🙏🏾
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

At Home Exfoliating Facial ✨✨
So I recently received the Mimi Co Exfoliating Wand via IG PR. I couldn’t wait to do a full facial and I decided to do it tonight.
Order:
I purchased a steamer from Amazon for $23 and I’m obsessed with it (DM me for product info).
I started with
UpCircle - Cleansing Face Balm With Apricot Powder
As my oil cleanse to get my sunscreen from today off and any other oils and dirts.
INDIE LEE - Purifying Face Wash
This cleanser is perfect for getting dirts and oils from skin as well. It’s not drying and it’s totally worth it!
I paired it with a face cleansing scrub brush, I also purchased from Amazon. I love it and I paid around $20 for it as well! It doubles the vibration frequency put out by Foreo.
CLARISMA - Namaste Glow Energizing Face Mask
This was the mask I chose for the enzyme properties. This breaks down dirts and oils in pores and dead skin cells. I also steamed my face during this time.
Follain - Toning Mist: Balance + Prime
This was what I sprayed over my face for the prep for my exfoliating wand. I didn’t have a true medium and I am out of Aloe Vera plants so😭
I then exfoliated with my wand starting at my cheeks and working upward and then to my forehead. I went down and to the sides of my nose. Glow slow!
innisfree - Jeju Lava Seawater Lotion
I used the toner to cleanse my skin and get any dirts left over from me exfoliating.
SUMMER FRIDAYS - Jet Lag Mask
I use this as my hydrating mask. I took the back of my Mimi Co Wand on switched to the Moisturizing Setting. I gently slid upwards my entire face for the last 2 mins only and then wiped the mask off with a damp cloth.
earthtoskin - Tea Time Anti Aging Eye Cream
This is the most hydrating eye cream I own. I used this with the back of my cleansing brush on the heat setting! Yes it made my eye feel so hydrated and relaxed.
fresh - Lotus Anti-Aging Night Moisturizer
This was the final step as a good moisturizer seals in everything!
To prevent acne I use the SUNDAY RILEY - U.F.O. Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil as my last step. I didn’t use an astringent type toner, so I wanted to still treat my skin💚
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.
