Burts Bees Herbal Blemish Stick
I love this roll on. It is a spot treatment roll on for acne and other blemishes which, coming from Burts Bees is supposed to be more natural and contains tea tree oil, willow-bark extract, lemon oil etc. Tea tree oil has antiseptic, anti-fungal, and antibacterial properties so thats why it helps with acne, i like it because it clears up a really bad pimple for me in about a day or two, other things like benzoil peroxide creams might do it quicker but then my sensitive skin gets all dry and irritated, and then im screwed either way! So i would rather give it a little more time and have it heal with a more natural and less harsh solution. It's got a eucalyptus type of smell to it which some may not like, but i do, and sometimes it stings a little when u put it on a pimple that you were messing with, but im weird and i like when it burns. That might be because my mom always told me "if it burns it's cause it's working". The stinging doesn't last long tho. The roll on lasts a while and costs about $8.00. Worth it!
ELF Nail Polishes and lip products
To those who do not know about this make up brand, they are great for those (like me) who have not a dollar to spare but have to get their lipstick, or nail polish fix! They are called "Eyes, Lips, Face". I love them because most things cost a dollar, and are relatively good buys. I am sensitive to most things so I was hesitant the first time I tried them, despite being so inexpensive they really do not irritate my skin like some others (almay! who knew) do. I like their lipglosses a lot! they have a ton of colors and most are not sticky at all and they usually smell/taste nice too! the only one i don't like is their "hypershine gloss" which to me tastes kinda chemically and crappy, its also really sticky. My fav of their lip things is the liquid lipstick, I LOVE this, i have it in like 6 shades (brownie, points, ruby slipper, strawberry(fav), raspberry, and cherry tart). I love them because again, they do not make me break out in a rash on my lips ...eww...and they are kind of sheer, so they complement skin tones really nicely. They have really good nail polish, a million shades to choose from (I have most, if not all of them) and they dont have bad stuff like formaldehyde. The only con I have come across is that they chip easily, i usually use them in conjuction with a base coat and "Sally Henson 10 day no chip top coat" even so it still only lasts about 4 days chip free. Hope this helps!!!
The reason why!
Hi! to whoever gets around to reading this, I hope I don't disappoint! I wanted to start this because I am a serious makeup, skincare, body and bath, and nail polish addict. If it goes on your body or face, and is supposed to make you look or feel better, I want it! That being said, i have very sensitive skin, and a lot of the products i have tried (although labeled "hypoallergenic") cause me to break out, or have a rash w/e. I go though a lot of products and have found out a lot about the issues one would come across in the never ending love/hate battle with stuff that works or doesn't! I am also extremely broke, im getting my masters in interior design so I have next to nothing to spend and everything i buy is budget friendly. So if you want to find stuff that works but are ramen noodle wallet friendly look no further!!!!
