Tested: 100% Pure Herbal Detox Mask


I love a good detox especially because of all of the dirt and grime I'm exposed to when I am downtown.  I was keen to try the new masks released by 100 Percent Pure so I managed to find a store where I could sample both the detox and aqua masks.  As you can see, the detox mask was the clear winner for me and I've found that this has been one of my favorite detox masks to date!  It's effective, it smells great, and, let's be honest, it's absolute fun to walk around the house scaring others with your green faced self!  Read on to see why I reach for this mask as my go-to detox method!

Comparison: 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Mascara (Black Tea) VS Maracuja Mascara (Black Tea)


The Lengthening mascara from 100% pure has always been my stand-out favorite ever since I started testing all natural mascaras.  It's no surprise, then, that I was over the moon when they announced their new Maracuja formulation to add to their mascara lineup.  I was able to snag this up during the 100% Pure Friends & Family and have been testing it against it's older sibling! Before we continue, I'll just say that I love both of the formulations but do have a personal preference.  Read on, wide-eyed viewer!

First Impressions: Pacifica Stunning Brows


Eyebrows have been a defining thing for me for these past few years.  My journey began when I first learned how to shape them to my desired shape and naturally continued to trial and error with several brow waxes, powders, and pencils.  I've settled on my preference for brow pencils, but something's always felt missing.  You see, I've always had longer eyebrows and(while I'm fine with that) they tend to stick out more than I'd like!  Enter Pacifica's new Stunning Brows to help with my unruly needs!  This is my first brow gloss and I'm just going to go ahead and say that I've been blown away! Details are below, and as per usual, discounts as well!

First Impressions: Pacifica Super Powder Supernatural Eyeshadow Trio (Stone, Cold, Fox) & Natural Eye Pencil (Fringe)


Recently, I've been on the lookout for a small compact eyeshadow duo or trio to carry on my travels.  The criteria was that it would be lightweight, easy to apply, and not too expensive.  I found those criteria to be met with the Pacifica Super Powder Supernatural Eyeshadow Trio.  This is a fairly new release from Pacifica and I purchased this in the shade Stone, Cold, Fox.  The shades looked promising from the image I had seen online and with one click I was on my way to testing out my first ever clean eyeshadow palette.  The excitement was real.  Along with that, I purchased my first ever natural eyeliner from Pacifica in Fringe with high hopes that it would be my answer to finding a great top AND bottom liner that would not smudge on me.  The results are below as well as a deal to save on your cosmetic purchases!

[CCC] Current Curated Collection: Highlight + Shade


Call me late, but I've only recently started figuring out how to highlight and shade my face.  This isn't to say that I'm particularly good at it, but I've found that highlighting really brings out the face in an emphasized 3-dimensional way and shading really helps to slim down the face(I don't quite use it for a defined contour).  I've collected my favorites in this field to do a comparison and review!  These are quality products that I really believe are a worthwhile investment and I'm also including tips on how to score these products at a lower price below!

Tested: Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Powder


I've had a sudden increase in the number of "face friends" within the past two weeks that I can only logically attribute to a change in my diet(whether it be eating out more often or anther cause).  It seemed like perfect timing to bust out a review on this Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Powder that I've had for a few months.  I originally bought this as a setting powder of sorts but have since reduced the use of this to just spot-treating on the areas with spots.  This powder is good enough for me to attempt to ration for its functionality, ease-of-use, and the great results it has given me.  This is a master-multi-tasker that has been saving my skin for the past two weeks.
