Product Review

This last month I've been trying a few new products that I've been hearing about either on Youtube or from other blog posts.
The first one is the Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream, I was super excited to try this one out, because I've heard so many good things about the whole line. The surprising thing is though, that after the first few times of using it, its not the one I reach for in the mornings. I have the Fair to Light color and I love the smell that it has, it reminds of the fresh smell after rain. It hasn't made me break out so, in theory, I thought I would really like this, but I think the problem I have with it, is the consistency of it, I'm going to definitely try it again when it gets colder, to see if it was just too thick for the summer or what, but other then that I really like this product.
The second product is the  Physicians Formula Happy Booster Glow and Mood Boosting Blush in Natural. This blush is such a perfect blush if you don't want to over do it, but you want that adorable innocent cheeky look. I don't apply my blush heavy at all so if you're like me, don't be upset if it doesn't last you all day, because it simply won't. I love the beautiful shimmer it gives my cheeks though and I do reach for this product daily.
The third product is, Revlon ColorStay ultimate suede in It Girl. I mainly got this for the gorgeous color it is, but when I got home I actually didn't use it for a long time, I'm not sure if i just didn't think that the color suited me of if when I tried it the first time, it just didn't match the rest of my face. But in my opinion, it's one of the best natural pink lips that goes best with a fresh clean face that doesn't have a lot of other colors to stand out. I always apply chap-stick or lip moisturizer to my lips before i put any color on to them and when I do this it has made the color stay longer and it won't ever dry out my lips, Overall I'm very happy about this new found lip love of mine.
My next one is the Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder in the color Nude Beige. A funny thing about this is I bought this very same product same color everything a few months ago, but I didn't like the color for my skin so I gave it to my sister, because she has lighter skin then I do and then when I repurchased this one I called her up and asked her about the one I gave her and it turned out to be the very same one.. I'm such a blonde sometimes.. But I do love this product now and i use it everyday. I rarely get shiny and for the times my face does this product keeps it at bay very well. I wish I hadn't given away the first one I bought, but it's okay cause my sister loves it too.
I was normally going to do a review on a few more products, but I feel like this one is a lot longer than my other blog posts so I'll stop there, but if anyone cares leave a comment and I'll do the other 4 products as well. Have a great day.(:

Feel Good About Yourself

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." I don't know who may see this, or if anyone will see this ever, but thats not the important thing. The important thing is if someone does read this, I want it to help them feel better, even if they're not struggling with something at the moment. One of the worst feelings in the world is to feel like you're not worth anything, to feel like it wouldn't matter if you died.  Its often one of those feelings that you slip into slowly and one that is hard to get out of. But honesty everyone matters. If you don't feel it, do something everyday that you're good at, just one thing. It doesn't matter what it is but decide to do something (I draw or paint) and whatever it is don't show anyone, keep it to yourself for a time and work on it until it's perfect. And above all else, don't say whatever you're doing sucks. Be positive about it, even if thats the only thing you're positive about all day, its important. The reason it's important to keep it to yourself is that in that short time while you're working on it, it becomes your safe haven. The one place that you can feel good about yourself and have no one judge you. "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." I love this quote from Harry Potter so much. To me it means that you can be going through the worst thing ever, but you can be happy if you try. Happiness can be found where ever someone is looking for it, if they look hard enough. Just deciding to be happy is one of the hardest things if you are stuck in a rut though, so try and surround yourself with people who care about you and want you to do good. And if you're someone like me who don't let too many people in to know whats really going on, then by all means talk to a pet, a stuffed animal, a random animal, or a tree, just tell someone or something. It helps to get it out of your mind, so you can think about it clearer. But never resort to hurting yourself when you're angry or depressed. If thats the only way to make you feel better then I suggest that you workout instead. That way you are still feeling a kind of pain but instead of hurting your body you'll be making it stronger, and after working out more often than not, you'll be in a better mood because of the natural high you get when you workout. And always try to focus on the good in life. Its hard but remember that "the happiest girls are the prettiest."(:

-I take no credit for the parts in quotations, the first and last quotes, I'm not sure who said them but they were not my own words, as well as the quote from Harry Potter in the middle.

My favorite thing to do after a good long run is to take a cold refreshing shower. To me life doesn't get much better than that feeling, while maybe with the exception of kissing (thats almost always fantastic too), but honestly its one of the best feelings ever. For starters why its so fantastic is that one, you just went on a run and lets be real, running isn't always easy, but you still did it. Two, if you wash your hair in the cold water the next day, or later that day, your hair is softer (I don't know why, but that just works for me), and who doesn't like soft hair?? Three, showering is awesome by itself and if I could I would probably spend all day in there if I didn't have anything to do, but instead I'm always busy:/. Four, I find that it is relaxing, because I just did something that caused my body a bit of stress, and then I get to calm it down and relax the muscles I used with the cold water. For me personally, I LOVE to run at night so thats when I try to go the most and when I get done, after I feel like dying, I just hop into my shower and then **poof** when I get out I feel so energized and relaxed and then I just curl up in my bed and read a few chapters from the current book I'm reading at the time (right now its Harry Potter:)), or I'll check Facebook or Twitter while a candle is burning and to me that is pure happiness, then when I wake up in the morning I feel refreshed and ready to face the day.(:

So lately I've been away from home and often when I travel my skin starts to get irritated from the changing climate and the different plants that are in the area. Now my skin is one tough puppy and it hardly ever breaks out super bad but every once in a while I'll get a blemish and I have a mini-mini freak out, cause on the one chance that my skin does have a super bad reaction to something I don't want it to be while I'm travel and meeting new people!! So far for my trip I've been super lucky though and nothing has gone wrong. I find that when I'm traveling I don't like to test new products as I do when I'm at home, because I want to know why I'm breaking out and if I've just traveled I don't know if I broke out because of the new product or because my skin just didn't like that change in heat and weather. To clean my face at night it's super simple, all I do is use a makeup remover wipe and after I'm done with that I wash my face with my favorite face wash of the moment. Lately I've been loving the face wipes that can be found at Forever 21 the ones with the aloe in it, crazy I know because you wouldn't think that they would be that good for your skin but since I've been using them, I've definitely notice my face being clearer. My favorite face wash for the moment and it has been my favorite for a super long time is the Neutrogena  pink grapefruit scrub. Ever since I've been using both of those products together I've been loving the result. Because lets be real now, who doesn't like a clear beautiful face??(:  

My favorite thing to do in the morning as I'm getting ready for the day is to blast music into my ears. If you have to get up early you might as well start the day right, it doesn't matter if it's Taylor Swift or All Time Low it always gets me ready to face the day. I believe that you should do something that makes you happy as often as possible, its the best medicine in life. You have all day to worry about what you'll have to go through, so take the first 5-60 minutes of your day and do something that will be rewarding to you. Whether its working out to get that killer body, or reading a book it doesn't matter as long as you're doing it for yourself to make you happy. If you do something for yourself, it will show, maybe not the first day, but over time you'll notice a difference, whether its a new spring in your step or a more radiant face when you smile. I know this is massively cheesy, but it's totally true.(:
