My GlamGlow 'ThirstyMud' Review

October 6, 2016

hey all!
happy thursday!
y’all probably don’t remember, but a long time ago (like in january 2015) i wrote this post here about glam glow.
first of all, if you do not know what glam glow is, glam glow is a beauty company that makes skincare products.
i have been using their ‘supermud’ for more than a year (as you can see from my very old blog post) i typically use it once per week in spot treatments on my chin or nose because the price point is really not one i would like to make very often, and i have only bought this product twice, so i have been extremely lucky (or just been able to extend as long as possible).
so recently i decided to try out glam glow’s ‘thirstymud‘ product…
i typically have a combination face, with an oily t-zone (my forehead, nose and chin) i usually get black/white heads in those spots (caused by over oil production and clogged pores). i was extremely skeptical of this product because i really don’t need that ‘moisture’ because typically only have dry spots on my cheeks, which i use moisturizer for.
the product claims to be “THIRSTYMUD™ uses the newest, most advanced, and extreme hydration active technologies. It moisturizes, restores, replenishes, and calms the skin. Dewdration™ boosts and locks in moisture for a dewy and youthful result while HydraPack™ leaves skin with an instant silky, soft, and supple feel. GreenEnergy™ smooths and energizes the skin, giving you a healthy-looking, glowing complexion.” (according to Sephora)
so first i opened the package…
 
and its really pretty. i love the color, the metallic blue and the star, its very minimal, something i am sure y’all know that i love.
so i tested the mask…
i typically use very drying products because i need my oily t-zone to  be less oily to not only get rid of the oil, but also the pimples. this creates a total drying effect on my face.
this mask totally restored moisture to my face. i am not kidding, my face feels moist, but not only, which is a total win for me, because when my face is not oily it is completely dry.
s0 i am super excited to continue using this because i have only used it once.
i hope you enjoyed!
xoxo

Spring 2015: Beauty Favorites

April 12, 2015

Hey guys!

I wanted to show you guys my beauty favorites for Spring 2015.

1. Glam Glow: You guys know how much I am in love with Glam Glow. I swear by it, and use it every Saturday, because you cannot use the mask too much because its drying, and expensive. -$69

2. Shoot for the Stars Bath Bomb: Okay, so recently I have had an obsession with taking baths on weekends, where I just sit and think. Bath bombs are just so fun, and are so colorful! They are not too expensive considering I only use them like once a month.-$6.95

3. Essie Nail Polish in No Pre-Nup: Essie is my favorite nail polish brand and I am just loving the pastel colors for this upcoming spring season. -$8

4. Benefit Boi-Ing Concealer: This is my favorite concealer! At first I did not like the concealer because it was a pot concealer, and I just used my fingers, but then I got an It Cosmetics Brush.-$20

5. EOS in Passion Fruit: This is the smoothest lip balm around. In addition to being my favorite color and a very good scent. Love this balm! -$3

6. Soap and Glory Clean on Me: This is a shower gel which combines both shower gel amd body lotion. You will not believe how fast I went through this! -$16

7. Diptyque L’Eau de Eau: This is a light fragrance from Diptyque a french company that makes devine scents. This is good for all people with its light scent. -$98

8. It Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Buffing Airbrush Foundation Brush: It Cosmetics makes a very beautiful line of brushes. They are the sofest brushes that make me so happy! -$35

9. Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Classic: Putting this on before putting on makeup really makes your base layer full coverage. This really makes your foundation stick if you have pimples the day of your event. Buy it in the travel size to see how you like it. -$15
