Hello lovelies! 

I have wild, unruly and untamed curls. Great features for other things, but not so much on my head. Would love to try some new products that could help reduce frizz and increase curl clumping. Any suggestions of some great “holy grail” products?!

Where the wild curls are

What is your favorite product for an awesome long lasting lip stain? My title was anecdotal as it always seems like wine lasts forever on things!  😂

Stains stronger than red wine?!

Sometimes we want to be soft and subtle or sharp and sultry. Other times, we just have to get our fairy glamour  on! I am always on the lookout for subtle holographic, chrome etc accents or highlights as well as unique lipsticks. I was absolutely enamored by Kat Von D’s glimmer veil Rocker, as it turned into a lovely stain ot tint  with hints of glitter, yet still subtle.  Any recommendations for those fickle and fey nights some of us  sometimes get?! :-)

“What care I for human hearts? Soft and spiritless as porridge! A faerie's heart beats fierce and free!”

I mean, other than possibly human (ish), my curl pattern is what is in question 😂. do you think 2C or 3A? I didn’t use anything today, including makeup, hence the horrible picture! But I find I am really loving the curl cream by Pattern when I use it. Trying to really fine tune my hair care products.

WHAT AM I?!

I would love some suggestions of products to try next!! I really love super scrubby scrubs. I tend to get darkness under my eyes, if there is a miracle fir that. Hormonal acne super heroes ?! Lip tints that have a beautiful natural look for daily wear are always on Int list and curly hair products! preferably looking for K-beauty recommendations at this point as many of my followers are curious as well!  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

What next?!

 I don’t think there was anything negative to this product. Well, it is targeted for sensitive skin, it really could be used globally for all types of skin.

I was so excited when I received this product for free from Picky and DR.G in exchange for my honest review! 
DR.G's R.E.D Blemish Clear Soothing Cream Is like sipping on a hot cup of herbal tea in a cozy cottage when the weather is chilly, gentle sounds of soft rain pattering outside. It is comfort in a jar. 

✅Designed with ingredients that help to target soothing sensitive skin as well as boosting complexion. The blend with Centella Asiatics extract is a gentle yet powerful force. 
✅For extra ease and cleanliness a spatula for distribution is included

Shortly after I received the cream, one of the kiddos came home with a mild rash from a weed she had a reaction to.  She asked to try some of the Dr. G cream. About an hour later the swelling and redness were significantly less! She swore if helped soothe the irritation. I found for myself, on an area where I had a little bit of acne, it helped my irritation as well. My skin was brighter and softer overall after use with no stickiness or synthetic fragrance.


Update: I received this product to try again, and I am equally thrilled! this is absolutely a major staple in my household!

 I am really loving this product so far! It can be a little bit sticky if you put too much on .

This is like an incredibly sensory magic trick that leaves your skin feeling transformed after use! First of all, it is just fun! You apply the light purple serum on your skin from the center outwards. You leave it on until it starts to form tiny bubbles then you gently pat those in. The tiny bubbles are so much fun to watch as they form and they create a tingly sensation! Ultimately, the end result is also a transformation. It leaves the skin feeling incredibly clean, refreshed and soft.  Highly recommended not just for the results but for the experience!

The only thing I don’t like about this product is that it tends to coagulate and get thick, settling at the bottom of the container after using a little more than half of it, making application a bit more rough and lumpy in texture. 

I have paper thin nails that rip even from washing my hair. When I use this they are protected and nourished enough to grow BEAUTIFULLY! 

I really don’t have anything negative to say about this product or even advice of something to change. I suppose that is why it has become a regular part of my rotation!

I am all for a witchy brew but Snail mucin?!?!  Yep, it’s time to lather on the slime!  I heard some great things about snail mucin and after reading some reviews decided to try out COSRX Advanced Snail Mucin 96%
 
First thing, for those who are like me, concern regarding animal cruelty is always a factor.  According to the cosrx web site FAQ, the mucin is collected when the snails move about over a net with no external stressors added ot them.  Phew!  Now that we can move past that, lets go on to how this worked:
 
AMAZING!  Do I need to say more?  Ok. I have tried a LOT of products over the years and loved many of them.  Not many make it into the “must have” counter space for daily use.  This did. 
 
-       Helps with dull skin, dark circles, fine lines, hydrating the skin and overall radiance!
-       My skin has never felt so velvety smooth.  Dare I hope these fine lines might disappear with time instead of increase?! I wouldn’t mind having the ability to rewind the clock!  
-       No sticky residue or overly strong scent.

 I did not find anything bad about it. Going to continue using it longer to see longer-term changes.

Anua Rice Ceramide 7 Hydrating Barrier Serum is a heady concoction ndeed!  It is made with ingredients such as rice bran extract and water, hyaluronic acid, alpha-arbutin and honey extract to help with nourishing the skin, hydration, supporting the skin barrier, skin texture and decreasing hyperpigmentation.
 
This serum applies smoothly and evenly.  A little goes a long way.  It is thick on initial contact but applies light with no heaviness.
 
I found this fragrance free, luxurious feeling serum to be quite soothing.  My skin immediately looked more radiant. I found I had the most significant results when using all 3 of the Glass Skin Regimen of Anua’s Rice products together, truly bringing my skin very close to appearing Glass – like. As we move into fall, I think this serum will one of my most often grabbed products as it is moisturizing and thick enough to feel protective and hydrated, yet light enough to not feel weighed down or sticky.
