The Beauty Delicacy

I recently discovered the makeup site cherryculture.com which carries some of my fav inexpensive + cruelty-free {bonus!} makeup brands. So I did what any sane or insane makeup junkie does …hauled in some goodies.

I love this product so much that I wish I could’ve come up with a catchier title for this post because it deserves it + I love catchy titles

Upon first glance it has the appearance of water + the texture is like a loose gel. It kind of aggravated me but the glass dropper provided turned my frown upside down. As a matter of fact the packaging is pretty perfect. I’m usually against glass anything in bathrooms but I can work with it.

What I love love about this product!

♥ Cruelty-Free {leaping bunny approved}
♥ Results are immediate + lasting! {I don’t go to bed looking like a goddess + waking up looking like hell the next morning so it’s def a plus}
♥ Non-irritating formula
♥ Works with my combination oily/dry skin instead of against it {I’m so tired of products that claim to...

Just a quick share of my dressing table from Ikea. My only wish is that it came with a vanity stool/chair because now I have to go shopping for one.

I was thinking of something like this one but a regular chair may have to do considering this table sits higher than a traditional vanity + I’m short.

Still shot before my hubby moved it to the other side of the room for me.

I recently started posting “notes” on my fb blog page. Not sure how it happened but it just seems quicker sometimes + somehow not as formal as prepping a post for the blog. Here two recent posts on hair care

So Milani is a brand that I’ve actually never tried before. Honestly their packaging is what kept me away for so long! There’s just something about all that gold that makes me frown. But I wanted to try a new red lip color…I’ll try almost anything at least once.

So here it is. In this photo I’m kind of bare-faced but I was sick {hence the pony-tailed hair} + makeup isn’t so much fun when you are sneezing + coughing all of the time. Being a brown-skinned girl I tend to go for reds that are blue based because they pop + brighten

Now I have to admit, after trying this lipstick I went out + bought 3 more from the color statement line in equally bright + beautiful colors...

7 piece professional kit

I was ecstatic to get the opportunity to review this face + body polishing system. I have been a fan of this brand in particular for over a year, I tragically injured my original earlier in the year + had not gotten around to getting it fixed. But anywho on with what I’m really here to talk about…this sweet gadget.

What I ♥: The Basics

The main device is waterproof with a rubber handle to keep a grip on it.

The attachments are easy to put on + take off.

It’s compact + can be easily stored.

Replacement attachments are easily available on the Spa Sonic website.

It comes with batteries What could be more perfect than that!

simple on/off switch 

easy to attach/detach
