I ended up spending a lot more then I wanted, but it was worth it, I got a lot of stuff. Almost 200$ worth of stuff. I do not like Ulta's customer service or stocking at all. at least the ones near me are, they are  rude and not well stocked. I also do not like their rewards program either. I like to shop Sephora most of the time, but there are things you can only get at Ulta, so I deal with the issues every time I shop there. 

but anyways reviews will be up soon for these items,

stay tuned for more beauty goodness,

Lush Cosmetics: Toothy Tabs in Sparkle

Lush Cosmetics: Toothy Tabs in Sparkle

I got this product in my Lush Life wrapped gift for my birthday. These are portable toothpaste tabs that eliminate plastic packaging and are all around eco-friendly for the user and the world.   This product is vegan. This flavor is made with Lemon, Grapefruit, and Black Pepper. The full size is 40 tabs. or 0.5oz of product and retails for 4.95$. 

The formula is made with sodium bicarbonate, cream of tartar, kaloin, lemon peel, lemon oil, black pepper oil, grapefruit oil, sea salt, and black pepper powder. 

to use: you take a tab, put it in your mouth, and chew on the tab with your front teeth, wet a brush and start brushing your teeth with the mixture in your mouth, brush, spit, wash your mouth out, and enjoy clean teeth!

In my opinion this is a good product, but the taste isn't the greatest. It's great eco wise, and vegan wise, but the taste is slightly lemony and peppery tasting. I'm used to minty flavored toothpastes, that usually burn my mouth bad. With this product there is no minty burn, so it's easier on your mouth, but it doesn't do much for freshening your breath/mouth. I find after 5-10 mins. that my breath is back to normal. 

So I like it, but I'd love a minty one! I will try a mint one next to compare to a normal toothpaste. I don't hate it, but I don't love it!

it gets a c+ and a 3/5

Sparkle Toothy Tabs can be found there, and more Toothy Tabs there. 

Stay tuned for more lush related goodness soon,

Reviews will be up for more lush products soon.

Venus Razor Haul

Gillette Venus Razor Haul 

I used my new Sam's Club membership to purchase a years worth of razor refills to shave. I got 10 of the Spa Breeze Venus Refills and 2 of the Venus & Olay Refills. Plus a Razor handle to put the blades on.  It was 35.88 for the bulk package. 

http://www.samsclub.com/sams/venus-spa-breeze-12ct-cart-handle/prod19270138.ip

this price is cheaper then buying the razor and refills by themselves. The handle and 1-2 refills are 13.00$ and a 6 pack of razor refills is 25-30.00$. 

Saving money by buying in bulk! yay! 

Stay tuned for more beauty and health goodness soon, and a review of each razor refill too!

Lush: Ocean Salt

Lush Cosmetics: Ocean Salt Review

I picked up the Lush Ocean Salt in the Lush Life wrapped gift I got at my local lush store for my birthday. My birthday was July 2nd.  I got the small (2.4 oz) pot of Ocean Salt. It is a face and body scrub made with lime juice, avocado butter, and fine and coarse sea salt to exfoliate your skin. 

The ingredients are  fresh and vegetarian.  and I can use this until march 2017. There is vodka, sea salt, grapefruit infusion, avocado butter, coconut oil,seaweed absolute, violet leaf, and lanolin in the mixture. 

The smell is like a margarita and flowers mixed together with a hint of salt. it is not overpowering and is light to not aggravate allergies and sensitive skin. 

This scrub can be a bit much for the face at times, but if you use it gently and don't rub it hard you can exfoliate your face with it. I use this on my face once a week.

 I also use a St. Ives product to exfoliate every other day or so due to my oily/acne prone skin. Especially in the summer time! I get even more oily in the summer and I sweat 50% more. 

I personally love this product a whole lot! I would purchase the big size pot of this, and even subscribe to get one every 60-90 days. The full size pot is 36.00$ for a 8.8 oz pot. 

I love this stuff!!

you can find it here: http://www.lushusa.com/Ocean-Salt/9999902128,en_US,pd.html

and here's how it's made: https://youtu.be/n_h6wfPfVYI

It gets a A+ from me, and a 5/5 . 

stay tuned for more beauty goodness soon,

Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream

Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream

I got this in a Burt's Bees set around Christmas time, I thought I would review it for your guys. 

This is part of the Burt's Bees foot care line. As I said it is a travel size I got in a set with other products to try. This is the .75 oz. size. 

I personally do not like coconut in any way, but the smell of this doesn't bother me at all. I actually like it. The formula is a thick, almost gooey yellowish thick cream you put on your feet to moisturize and treat tired feet. It is formulated with olive oil, oat kernel flour, coconut oil, quillaja bark extract, oat kernel oil, rosemary leaf extract, soybean oil,  and canola oil. It's 94% Natural. 

I looked up Quillaja bark extract because I didn't know what it was.: http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-385-quillaia.aspx?activeingredientid=385&activeingredientname=quillaia

 The product texture and feel is kind of off putting at first, but once you rub into your feet it feels amazing. it's thick so it gets into your feet and really moisturizes and treats your feet. I use this by putting it on my feet after a bath/shower and putting socks on to let it soak in overnight. After, in the morning I have smooth, baby's butt soft feet. I love it! 

The full size product retails for 9.00$, for 4.34 oz. tube. it can be found on amazon, ulta.com,target, target.com,walmart, walmart.com, drugstores, and grocery stores. 

It can also be found on the Burt's Bees website : http://www.burtsbees.com/Coconut-Foot-Cr%C3%A8me/06999-00,default,pd.html

This gets: a B. Due to the goopey, oily texture before rubbing in. 

4/5

Thanks for reading, Stay tuned for more soon,

Burt's Bees Honey and Grapeseed Hand Cream

Burt's Bees Honey and Grapeseed Hand Cream

I got this hand cream in a Burt's Bees set around Christmas time this year. I thought I'd do a review on it. This is part of the Burt's Bees hand care line, but it is the smaller travel sized bottles that they put in their little sample kits to try a lot of items at once.  This is a .75 oz. tube. 

The formula is a thick white cream, it is thicker then normal lotion, it's made for very dry, cracked hands. It is formulated with jojoba butter, grape seed oil, beeswax, cupuacu seed butter, macadamia seed oil, sunflower seed oil, and rosemary leaf extract. I love the smell of this, it is a beeswax and honey smell. Not overpowering. Which is great for sensitive skin and sensitive noses. 

I personally love thick hand creams more in the winter, due to the cold weather where I live. But this goes on lightly, and doesn't feel very thick on the skin at all. The moisturization stays on all day long, even after you wash your hands (which I do a lot).  So you can use this year round on your dry little mitts. I also do needlework and find that the thread and canvas I work with take away all the oils/moisturization from my hand, so I also use this while working on my crafts. 

I love this product a whole lot. This is one of my favorite hand creams from Burt's Bees, in the hand care line. I love the smell, the texture of the cream, how it goes on, and how they feel afterwards, I would purchase a full size any day. 

This gets: an A+ 

5/5 

I Love it! 

You can purchase this on amazon, ulta.com,target, target.com,wal-mart,walmart.com, drugstores, grocery stores, ect. 

You can also buy it on the Burt's Bees website: http://www.burtsbees.com/Honey-Grapeseed-Hand-Cream/64699-00,default,pd.html?cgid=handCare&start=5&q=

Stay tuned for more beauty reviews soon,

Yes to Tomatoes: Blemish Clearing Facial Wipes

Yes To Tomatoes: Blemish Clearing Facial Wipes

I purchased these awhile ago at my local Wal-Mart and thought I would do a review on these facial wipes.

This is a part of the Yes To line, with Tomatoes being for acne/oily, problem skin. These are the Yes To Tomatoes Blemish Clearing Facial Wipes, they come with 25 wipes in one travel friendly pack. These wipes are formulated for oily/acne prone skin, and have a heavier focus on acne spots, blemishes, and pore care with the Yes to tomatoes line.  They retail for 6.00$ for a 25 pack of wipes. 

These wipes are formulated with an active ingredient of 1% salicylic Acid. It is also formulated with tomato fruit extract, rooibos extract, witch hazel, watermelon extract, and red pepper extract. 

The wipe has a good thickness, not to flimsy and not to thick. The smell is good, not harsh or burning. I like the smell. Also the wipes come with plenty of solution on them, so no half wet wipes. The wipes do stay wet very well, when placed face down so the solution can sink into the top of the wipes.

I use facial wipes to take off my makeup before washing my face, to touch up my face in between washing my face, and also if I am not near a water source and I need to wash my face. 

I personally love these wipes. I love the smell, the texture of the wipes, the thickness of the wipes, and how well they work. They take off all my makeup after a day/night of wearing it, even waterproof makeup. They work well to control my oily skin in between washing. They even treat my acne prone skin whenever I use them. They leave my skin feel fresh and clean. No stinging or burning I got when using some other wipes. 

I would give it: an A+ and 5 out of 5 (5/5).

they can be found at target, walmart, amazon, drugstores, grocery store, ulta and on the Yes to Carrots website(http://yestocarrots.com/product/yes-to-tomatoes-blemish-clearing-facial-wipes-25ct/)

Stay tuned for more beauty reviews soon,
