My scheming black head removal mask

So I found a you tuber, suzi styles - https://youtu.be/oSaAJj4QiiI, and she had posted a video for a blackhead removal mask. The brand was My Scheming. Her video was great and it looked like it worked great so ordered off amazon; thank goodness for prime! Well last night it arrived and I tried it out, according to her directions and the results were not so great, I mean I could see maybe 1 or two black heads....maybe but nothing more than a simple bore head strip. I watched her review a few times and didn't think much different. I did notice that she used step one for a long time an prior to she said she steamed her face for a long time, which I kind of did. So I decided I am going to give it another shot. But we will see maybe another video or just a blog for the next one. I had such big expectations for it. Until next time

Influenster

Welcoming as my first post was I decided it was time to get to the nitty gritty. One of my favorite social media platforms is Influenster. I have been a member of influenster for about 2 years. If you are unsure of what it is, influenster is a research/blog/review site and the more you do the more you get to review, it is simple. Influenster sends me products from laundry detergent to lipstick and I review and share on my social media. I receive all these products complimentary to test and/or review from influenster. Currently I and my husband are testing out the Dove Dry Spray, mine; the cool essentials dry spray antiperspirant, his; Dove Men + Care Extra fresh spray. Lets starts off with mine.


Dove Cool Essentials Dry Sprays Antiperspirant


The claim to fame is that it goes on dry instantly and delivers 48 hours of odor and wetness protection with Dove's unique 1/4 moisturizers for softer, smoother underarms. Yet you get to enjoy the delightful scent of cucumber and green tea. Now I am kind of a sweaty girl. I wear scrubs all day and work hard so after about 4 hours of work I start to sweat unless I wear good deodorant. My typical go to is Old Spice in timber scent, I know, I know, men's deodorant..... weird, but I don't always want floral smell and armpit smell mixed together in my underarms and honestly it works the best and smells of pine and Christmas..... no complaints from my husband. Well back on try. I t does smell good and worked okay. It smelled clean and fresh and the first 3 days I only wore this, but at about the 7 hour mark I could feel myself sweating. Then I found out how I loved this. Sometimes on my lunch break I work out and cannot shower (sorry patients) but this makes me smelt and feel fresh, I spray it everywhere....I mean everywhere. Honestly this worked great, I asked my friends, close friends how I smelt after my work out and they said great. So I give this a 3.5 out of 5 stars, will I but again? Yes but mainly for the reason for after my work outs. I also spray it all over after the shower and in between the tight to prevent chafing. It comes in a few different scents too!

Next up is the Dove Men + Care Dry Spray, they come in 3 different scents or types, but we were sent the Extra Fresh. The claim to fame is about the same but I will copy and paste from the dove.com website. Stay dry with 48-hour odor and wetness protection. Featuring a clinically proven non-irritant formula with a fresh ad invigorating scent, Dove Men + Care Extra Fresh Dry Spray antiperspirant/deodorant is tough on sweat, not on skin. While the hubs normally wears either Brut spray deodorant or old spice pure sport, he really liked this, thought it was nice, felt worked and worked out. He didn't like the size, compared to normal, spray deodorants the can is very small. He didn't do as directed and used his normal deodorant with this, they never listen. But overall he gave it a 4 out of 5 but said he would not repurchase because it was too small for the price, which averages about $5.69 for 3.8oz. I thought the price was good, but who knows.




Welcome to......well me and makeup

Thinking of what to write for my very first blog is intense. I feel as if I must make a dramatic entrance, like the openings credits of Mary Poppins where Julie Andrews graciously sits atop a cloud and applies her makeup and then in a very lady-like manner then floats down from the clouds. Well my entrance will be a little less graceful, but just dramatic.... hopefully.

I guess that in the back of my mind I always knew I wanted to do something with a blog, laying my thoughts down on paper... or my tablet, felt right. But the question was what I would write about. I sat a thought of my life in a nut shell, all the wonderful things I was blessed to have, my kids, my husband, my job and all the other normal wonderful things in my life that would be great to write about. In the back of my mind I was wanting to scream my dirty little secret....I love it, I love it all; Makeup, skin care, makeup, hair care, lotions, makeup, hair tools and did I say makeup. I don't care where I get it or how, ipsy, CVS, walgreen, Sephora, Ulta, Wal-Mart, doesn't matter I love to try and hop for it. Now I have a big wish list of the things I want...I mean need but come on, I am part of a family of four and if I didn't have two daughters with college funds to save for I would buy and charge it all. The fact that my husband would wring my neck if I purchased  Caviar-Rich Foundation and Concealer 

for theprice tag of $215. That is right, I'll say it slow.... two hundred and fifteen dollars. Not monopoly money, real us currency. My recent foundation I just purchased was $16.99 from physicians formula and I proud about my $5 cvs bucks I used to buy it.
