AcneFree Sensitive Skin 24 Hour Acne Clearing System by
University Medical includes: Corrective Acne Cleanser 4.0 oz,
Alcohol-Free Acne Toner 4.0 oz and Hydrating Acne Repair Lotion + Spot
Treatment 2.0 oz.
If you have followed my blog for sometime you know I have suffered with acne and breakouts off and on throughout my life. When I hit my mid twenties my acne came back in full force like I was a teenager again. The only thing that worked for me back then was Pro Activ. It always worked but it wasn't easy to find I always had to order it, and it was so strong it stripped my skin of any oils.
My skin cleared up and I kept Pro Activ in my skincare arsenal for those just in case moments. Recently I got the chance to try out this sensitive skin,24 hour Acne Free set. I had tried the original Acne Free line and it also seemed to work for me but again my skin is so sensitive it just was too strong. However, this Sensitive skin Acne free realllllly is amazing, and has not caused any reactions with my skin.
I start with the cleanser, then the toner and of course then I treat my spots. I do need another moisturizer other than this repair lotion. I use my rose hip oils all over and then apply the repair lotion to just the areas that need spot treatment. It was as if my skin wanted to be sure that I gave it a thorough review it broke out almost on cue. Not just little zits, or bumps but I got cystic acne on my jaw line(Super sexy, I know). After using this every night before bed in just a matter of 3 days it had shrunken enough to where it was almost gone. It didn't leave a scar which is great because I could use less of those on my face.
For the price definitely try this out, especially if you are wanting something affordable yet sensitive.
Let me know what you think, have you tried this before?
So technically today is the first day of Spring, but since we have snow in our immediate forecast, I still have Spring Fever. I am ready for the beautiful flowers to start popping up everywhere.
Butter London Wink Eyeliner $18 each check out Ulta and Ulta.com for more shades.
The 3 shades I got to try out!
I was super excited to be able to try these bright eyeliners out, they are right up my alley. The pistol pink is actually a lot more hot pink in person, unfortunately I could not get it to photograph that way. I love hot pink on the eyes, so this was a lot of fun to play with. I think these worked better for me than the Makeup Forever Aqua liners. You have to work quick, and blend in after applying they dry fast.
I have oily lids, so these worked perfectly for me as a liner I also used Indigo Punk as a shadow base and it never creased. If you are looking for something for long lasting staying power, pick these up. They offer lots of other shades including brown and black, so don't be scared by these bright colors. When I wore Jaded Jack I bet I got 10 compliments on how beautiful it looked with my eyeshadow. These are not for you if you don't want attention because you will get it :)

Bite Beauty Luminous Creme Lipstick Duo $12
Vivid - Palomino (vibrant magenta) / Violet (vibrant purple)
As you can see these aren't exactly the colors as they describe. They are more red and hot pink theres no Violet in my opinion. The picture on the box showed a purple lipstick and I was intrigued. My sephora didn't have these out for display they were by the checkout and it was an impulse buy.
They are beautiful shades,and creamy I have already been wearing the Violet which looks like a hot pink to me.They have great lasting power, and so far no bleeding or creasing on the lips. I also like that they do come off naturally there isn't just half hot pink lips, after drinking coffee.
Tell me have you tried Bite Beauty lipsticks?
You may remember me doing a blog post about this product last week on the 10th. This was the QVC Today's Special Value, on the 10th. However, my PR kit got sent to the wrong address and I was late getting the actual products up for review. You can still buy it here on QVC for only $65.98
What you get:
Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream with SPF 50 it is a 2.53 oz container (more than twice the size of the orginal CC cream.
You also get the Heavenly Luxe Plush Paddle Foundation Brush to apply the CC cream with.
Tightline Waterproof Mascara Primer
CC+ Lip Serum Hydrating Anti Aging Color Correcting Creme Gloss in the shade Love
I received the shade Tan which is the 2nd to last darkest shade. I am Fair on my darkest days so this will not be a shade for me. I can add it to my professional kit and some lucky clients get to use it. However, I have gotten samples of this product in my shade and loved it!I love the bottle, the pump and the fact that it is twice the size so you get a great amount of product.
LOVE this brush, and the product works great. I have loved it with my day to day false lashes you can really get it in there, and your lashes don't stick together they blend together amazing.
Excuse the fingerprints, this is the shade Love and I think it would look great on most people.

Forgive me for not having my usual blog posts up.Next week I have lots of great reviews including more Butter London,Sheseido,Lush,Acne Free and more.

I just want to say that I had no idea what to expect from Butter London in the Makeup Department. I love their polishes and can't get enough of those. So when I tried out this lipstick I have to be honest, it was instant love! The scent of the product is very subtle but sweet, it glides on like a dream. You get just the perfect shade of rose every time.
I know that this would be the perfect shade of lipstick for my bridal clients as well. It's a nice shade that will compliment almost anyone. It has great staying power, and doesn't bleed or get onto your teeth. If you are looking to try out a new lip product do not hesitate try out Butter London's Lippy products. They are so worth the $20, you won't regret it!

About The Aloe Source and their products:
The Aloe Source line consists
of 21 products for face, body and inner health, so that you can
experience the full benefits of aloe vera from a holistic perspective.
We manufacture our own products, rather than purchasing them from a
third party, which gives us complete control over the quality of the
products we develop.
What they say:
This luxurious body crème provides intense hydration for dry, rough
skin. Formulated with a concentrated blend of aloe vera and ginger root
oil to soothe skin, while shea butter, sodium hyaluronate and wheat
protein moisturize and protect skin.
What I say:
This is another product that has saved my skin during the winter. Although it is a souffle and it is a light consistency, it doesn't lack moisture. This is great to apply after a shower, however I apply mine before I get dressed in the morning. It has a nice subtle scent and my skin feels great after applying. This will be something I can continue to use into the warmer months, it will be a lightweight moisturizer that we seek in the hot months. I have a few other amazing products from The Aloe Source I will be sharing next week but this one just stood out on its own I had to share right away.
To check out more from The Aloe Source :
30 capsules for $40
Just take one capsule twist the top and apply the entire contents to your face and neck.
What they say:
Weleda’s new Wild Rose Smoothing Facial Capsules deliver revitalizing
nutrients deep into skin to soften fine lines, improve elasticity and
restore vitality. These moisturizing capsules are 100% certified
natural and 90% organic and easily absorb into skin. Rich in organic,
cold-pressed Rosehip Seed Oil from Chile, they effectively deliver
antioxidants A, C and E to promote skin renewal.
What I say:
I was lucky enough to receive these capsules to review. I have a huge interest in using rose hip oils but just never bit the bullet and picked any up. So when I got this I began using it twice a week, after I do my night time routine. I apply it around my eyes,laugh lines and to my forehead and anything left over I just apply all over. I noticed how moisturized my skin was, and how those little lines that I noticed forming under my eyes weren't so noticeable anymore. From this winter weather my skin has been so back and forth between dry and normal. I have noticed a huge different and I haven't used up the entire 30 capsules. I have stopped using it twice a week and just using it once a week now. I will repurchase and keep these in my routine.They have a pleasant scent, and worth every single penny with the results I have seen I would pay more.
