When I first receive this from bzz agent I was not too sure about using this on my skin since i have combination skin. I have oily
skin on my nose and forehead and dry on chin and around my mouth. I tried this on my hair after washing it and it tamed the flyaways with out leaving an oily film. So i decided to try this on my skin and I notice that my skin was moisturized without making my skin look greasy. It made my skin feel softer and took away the dry patches. I also like the fact that they put ingredients in this that I can find in the super market such as avocado and shea butter. That makes me feel good using products that are natural. The packaging is a bit cheap. At CVS this sell this for about $5. It comes in a spray bottle but for the price I would definitely buy this. Great product that smells nice and relieves dry skin without greasy feeling and tames flyaways in my hair.

A new change and concentration in life

I would like to take this blog on a different turn. I want this to be a place where I express my personal life. I would still add posts on make up but not longer about "No Buys". With my no buy journey I realized that I will never stop buying make up because I realized that I love trying out new things and I will continue to buy.

I am now at a point in my life where I feel that I need to move out and really start making something of my own. At this time I don't have the financial capacity to do that. I would also like to learn new things. I want to be more open to what life has to offer.

I am still interested in what I am studying and would like to continue on. But sometimes I just want to quit it all. Yes I do know how contradicting that sounds. The work seems overwhelming but I cannot see myself doing anything else. I hope somethings comes up. I know I know... why don't I just find something else. I do not have the courage to yet. I feel very much tired of the paper work. Here is a typical day of my studies. I make observations of the problem(s) that my clients are facing with and I come up with solutions. However the hard part is having my clients follow up on them. That matters but what matters most is the paperwork that comes with the appointments. Besides that everything else is fine.

I also want to add what I am eating daily. Today I had lotus roots, rice, brownies, hamburger with lettuce, tomato, onions, carrots, cow intestines, and 5 cups of water.

As far as my make up routine goes, I have been keeping it extremely simple. Most days I only use my eyeliner from Hourglass or by Physician's formula gel eyeliner. No concealer or foundation. I do doll up on the weekends when I am out.

I also would like to share this video. Dez is amazing. I have been a fan of hers since she started her channel. She is very talented in many ways. She reminded me to protect my thoughts and not let anyone take it away from me. Don't let other people hurt you and be true to yourself. That has been said and heard many times but it is so true. Take your talent and OWN it. In other words- BE CONFIDENT. Do not let anyone tell you other wise.

The 30 day rule

FREE GIFT WITH PURCHASE!

75% OFF

BUY ONE GET ONE FREE

Sales ladies doing what ever they can to get a sale, making offers, and throwing in samples and gifts. We dont think about it thoroughly and we pull out our wallets. Then when we get home we realize that we didnt want what we purchased in the first place. We all have been there right?

What you can do is hold back and use the 30 day rule.

30 day rule- Think about the purchase before hand and wait 30 days before you consider making the purchase. Most likely you would not want it after that long or you might have a new lemming. If you still want it after 30 days then you should go for it. I know that some of you may think that if you wait 30 days the sale would be over, or "I should make the purchase quick before they sell out". Be patient. There's always sales and good deals. Just take your pick and buy what you need.

Going on a No Buy and no buy tips

Hi and thanks for dropping by my blog. This blog will be dedicated to my love for makeup and for controlling my shopping habit. I have been buying too much makeup and clothes. It's time to slow it down and use what I have more efficiently. I am running out of places to put them and makeup do expire. Here are some no buy tips that I found online, youtube and some that I came up with on my own.

1)      Organize your stash. If you have a large enough stash look around and find something that you hardly use. You might end up loving it and if it does not work out, put it up on swap.
2)      Swapping is a great way to get new or used makeup. You are also getting rid of something that you no longer use. Makeupalley is a great place to do that but beware of swaplifters.
3)      Check out make up looks that are trendy at the moment and recreate the looks with your current stash especially with the new MAC collections. Chances are you already have really similar colors.
4)      Try going on a project 10 pan. This is where you pick out a certain amount of products (It does not have to be 10, it could be any amount you want) and you use them up and you cannot open anything new until you finish them. I never went on one. It looks too tough.
5)      Remember that swatches may look different but once they are applied they will look really similar.
6)      Before you purchase something new, think about all the other makeup you have.
7)      Try out different combinations of primer base and eyeshadows, or lipliner, lipstick and gloss to achieve different looks.
8)      Rotate your makeup. If you are going through a makeup rut as EmilyNoel would put it, try switching the usual products you use. Give all your makeup a fair chance of usage.  
9)      Stop purchasing back ups. If you are like me and you loving having back ups of your favorite make up, you should rethink this since makeup expires. Once you get a chance to open it in a few years it might of went bad already.
10)   Avoid sales. This is extremely hard for most people but think about how much you can save if you avoid them.  

Good luck for all of you who are on a low or no buy.
