Review: Boscia B.B. Cream

Hey guys!
So I have been using the Dr. Jart water infused BB cream for over a year now, and I have bought several tubes of it. However, this last time when I was about out, I decided to try a different BB cream for a couple of different reasons: my skin has been kind of dull lately, and I have noticed a couple of little red bumps on my face that have showed up recently. While I have loved this BB cream for a long time, I think my skin just needed to switch things up.
Because of this, I decided to sample a couple of BB creams, and finally decided on the one from Boscia (I didn’t know this brand is pronounced like bow- (as in hair bow) shuh, and had been pronouncing it like boss-kia this whole time, hahaha oops). There’s a higher SPF in the BB cream from Dr. Jart so I think that might’ve contributed to the little red bumps, because my skin is suuuper  sensitive and I always get rashes from regular sunscreen, so I have to wear baby sunscreen. Talk about embarrassing. Anyway, I have noticed that I have fewer red bumps now that I’ve been using the Boscia BB cream for a little while.

So far, I have really been loving this! It makes my skin look really glowy, which is perfect for summer. It does have a slight shimmer in it, so if you don’t like that, I wouldn’t recommend it for you. I have dry, sensitive skin, and so far (knock on wood) this hasn’t given me a rash or broke me out. I love that it has SPF 27, because I have pale skin that does not take well to the sun when unprotected (we’re talking like beet red sunburns if I don’t wear sunscreen). My skin has also felt really soft, and honestly feels better once I have worn this all day. It’s supposed to make your skin feel great, and so far it has. I am a huge fan!
It also matches my skin really well, and blends in easily. It lasts all day, even after a full day of work! I really love it, and think I’ve found my new favorite BB cream for the summer. It hasn’t gotten super hot yet where I live, so we’ll see how it stands with the weather, but it does get pretty warm where I work (my parents’ baker) so I think it’ll do just fine.
Do you use a BB cream? If so, what’s your favorite one?
Thank you so much for reading and have a great day! 🙂

Review: Alba Botanica Good and Clean Cleanser

Hey guys!
So about a month ago I was looking for a new facial cleanser because I became really unhappy with the one I had from Burts Bees. I really love Burts Bees, but they changed a lot of their formulas, and my face wash was just not working anymore. My pores felt really clogged, and my face just wasn’t getting clean. So, I went to Target with no product in mind really, and this one caught my eye.
I had never heard of this brand before, but I looked it up and saw that a lot of people love it, and specifically, this face wash. They don’t test on animals, and they use natural ingredients that still allows this product to gently cleanse sensitive skin which is exactly what I needed. I really wanted something that would cleanse my face and leave my pores feeling nice and clean, but isn’t too harsh that would cause my skin to break out into a rash. I love my skin, but boy do I have to be extra careful with it! Even sunscreen gives me rashes, which can be quite annoying in the summer.
This face wash smells ah-mazing as well, and really leaves my skin feeling refreshed! I use it once a day when I take my shower in the late afternoon/night, and then I follow up with my F.A.B. face lotion. I only wash my face once a day because it is super sensitive and pretty dry, so I really don’t need to in the mornings – I just put on some lotion and BB cream and I’m good to go. I have noticed that since I’ve been using this product, my skin has been glowing in the mornings, and it has fixed all of the issues my previous face wash caused. I am very pleased with this product, and I definitely recommend it for all skin types! It has become my new favorite facial cleanser.
Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a great rest of your day! (:

Review: Essie Quick-e Drying Drops

Hey guys!
Last week, I bought the Quick-e Drying Drops from Essie, and I’ve been dying to post this review! I had planned on posting it last week but I got super busy and then  really sick, but finally here it is!
The bottle itself looks like a normal Essie one, however it comes with a little dropper which allows you to place little drops onto your nails wherever needed. 
I went through my normal nail polish routine, painting my nails with Essie’s “muchi muchi”, and used the drying drops after I applied the top coat to all of my nails. They dried within a couple of minutes, which made it a lot more convenient since I painted them at night.
 Overall, I’m really satisfied with how my nails turned out since they dried so quickly, and I’m very glad I bought this product – I highly recommend it! If you’re someone who paints their nails at night like me, or before you’re going to be doing a lot with your hands, you should definitely think about buying this. However, your nails can still get dents or little marks on them from things like sheets, so just be careful with your nails like usual!
I will be using this product a lot in the future, and especially for Prom this weekend! I’ll be posting a ton of pictures on either Sunday or Monday from Prom, so be on the look out for that! (:
Thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a great day! (:

Review: First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer

Hey guys, sorry it’s been so long!
I, yet again, have had a crazy week. April is usually pretty busy for me, and this year is no exception! Last week I went on a couple of college visits in Seattle, and the rest of the week and this weekend was insane with just random things.
But anyway, today I have a review for you guys!
I am a big fan of this line, and have the heavier ultra repair lotion that I used for the winter since my skin gets super dry. So now that it’s spring, I needed something lighter and that’s where this bad boy comes in! I have been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I love it! It’s the perfect texture for my skin; it isn’t too heavy or too light. I use it morning and night and a little bit goes a looong way haha I was so surprised at how little I actually need in order to moisturize my whole face! It makes my dry patches go away but doesn’t make my skin oily – I could probably go on and on about this product! If you’re unhappy with your face lotion right now, I highly recommend this one!
As always thank you so much for reading, and I hope you have a great day! (:
