Double Your Lash Length With Sky High Mascara!
I bought this mascara after seeing a post about it on Facebook. I love trying out new mascaras but rarely do I find one that I will use regularly like my beloved tarte - Maneater Mascara
However this stuff is good.
MAYBELLINE - Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara
It gave my lashes so much volume & length they literally doubled in size!
My lashes are already pretty long to begin with but this made them look amazing.
The photo is after applying only one coat so I can only imagine how good they will look after two or three coats!
It also didn’t clump up my lashes at all.
I applied it really quickly & lazily too because I was in a rush to get ready & I was still amazed!
I honestly think this is going to be my new daily mascara.
It is waterproof but not the annoying kind that leaves your eyes completely black when you go to take it off. It came off really easily with my POND'S - Facial Moisturizers Dry Skin Cream which is what I’ve always used to remove my eye makeup, since I was a kid!

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.
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 🥰🥰
Stay Young Forever? ✨

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

I definitely will try the other serums in my routine as I get used to the Snail Serum but so far my skin is definitely happy.

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💚
