Day by Day Beauty Luxury Blotting Paper Review

honestly haven't used any type of blotting papers in at least two years. I like blotting paper with no powder and these are great! Each package comes with 100 premium sheets. They are also larger than other blotting sheets I've previously used. I like these because you don't have to keep reapplying powder. Too much powder can look cakey and age you. 

I love the "Hello Beautiful" detail, so cute!



Okay, so here's the gross proof that they work well.


Without makeup. I know a greasy mess.


With makeup. There's a slight rub off but nothing bad and not noticeable to my makeup on my face.

These are a great deal and work well. I was happy to try them out.

Exfolimate Review

I was interested and a little scared to try exfolimate. As I've gotten older I have realized how important it is to exfoliate. Dry skin can make you look older. Each exfoliating tool is a white strong piece of plastic with a stainless steel edge with micro grooves to exfoliate skin. Each tool has a red plastic cord to wrap around the wrist so you won't drop it in the shower.


It is recommend to use in the shower but it seems ok to use out of the shower as long as your skin is wet. When you use it, you don't think anything is really happening. But when you lift it up you can see the water from your skin as well as dry skin particles. Gross yet fascinating! Your skin feels super smooth without any lotion or oils. This would be great to use before home self tanning products.

Now that I have used it on my body I would use it on my face with just a light pressure. I'm not scared anymore and would recommend this to anyone. This would also be great for someone with sensitive skin that can't use micro exfoliators ect.. I'm really excited to use this more, I'm so glad I tried it!

Yalmeh Foundation Brush Review


I'm always excited to try out a new brush, and hope it becomes one of my brush family! Makeup brushes are important to me especially because I hate washing them! That's why I have so many! The following pictures are of how it's packaged. Remember to wash before use.
                               
                               
                               

When you look at the brush it looks like a consealer brush only. It's not. This brush is for the multi-tasker. You can apply your foundation flawlessly and consealer. It is a super soft synthetic brush. And I'm happy it has found a home with me!
                               
                               

                                    Here are my first impressions of the foundation brush!

                                   




Insta Natural Vitamin C Moisturizer

 Since I have been on an all natural face regimen I wanted to try out a moisturizer. Insta Natural was a perfect fit for my needs. The bottle is pretty big, 14 fl oz. !


I love the little things, like a pump tab to keep it closed completely and to stay mess free.


This moisturizer is about medium thick. I have tried thinner and thicker moisturizers before. It quickly absorbs and doesn't leave any stickiness or greasy feeling. There is also no real scent.


I like using this right now in the winter for my dry skin. But I might have to use it just at night when the warmer months come calling. My skin is oily to combination and while it doesn't leave me oily now, it might in the future because of weather change. As of right now Im happy. Especially, because it's all natural and my skin like that.

Insta Natural Dead Sea Mud Facial Mask Review


I had fun trying out a new mask for insta naturals. It comes in a big 16 oz jar. You can use it on your face and body. You only need a thin layer, so a little bit goes a long way. It is also 100% natural, which has been the trick to healing my skin lately.



Pretty isn't it?

This mask can be used for aging signs, dullness and acne.


The mask dries as other masks do. And you can't talk or smile very well.


After using the mask and rinsing it off in the shower in a circular motion. My skin felt softer and looked brighter. There is no real scent and worked wile so I will be using this once a week to help with my skin. Overall, it worked well and is a great value. I'm telling you, this thing is BIG!!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
