Nature’s Shea Butter Purchase (Gearing up for Fall)

Posted on September 27, 2015 | Leave a comment

Nature’s Shea Butter had a sale earlier this month when everything was 30% off.

I’ve used the one ounce size of the Nilotica Shea Butter. This sale gave me the chance to purchase the six ounce size of the East African shea butter.

I am a fan of the handmade soaps from Nature’s Shea Butter. Some shower gels are far too drying on my skin. The handmade soaps are gentle and cleanse quite nicely.

Handmade Vanilla Sandalwood Bar Soap

Almond Meal Exfoliating Bar

Ocean Mist (another generous soap sample) 🙂

Nature’s Shea Butter Purchase from HauteLook (Beauty Items I Needed)

Posted on September 27, 2015 | Leave a comment

I have been patiently waiting for a good bit of the Summer for Nature’s Shea Butter to appear on HauteLook again. This time around I stuck to beauty items I actually needed. My package arrived just in time for the start of Fall. I was also out of the White Tea & Shea Anti-Aging Facial Cream.

The White Tea & Shea Anti-Aging Cream is a great moisturizer. My youngest daughter also uses this. Maybe I should have bought two.

I make it a point to use the 100% All Natural Organic Argan Oil at night. I will also use the argan oil under my moisturizer when the weather gets cold. I feel like I have an extra layer of protection for my skin.

I do plan on placing another order the next time Nature’s Shea Butter is on HauteLook. 🙂

Another Crown Brush Purchase from HauteLook

Posted on September 27, 2015 | Leave a comment

Well you see what had happened was, Crown Brush was on HauteLook again. LOL! I was on the fence if I was going to make another Crown Brush purchase so soon. I decided to get the HauteLook Exclusive 15 Color Foundation Palette and Brush. This deal was too good to pass up.

HauteLook always has great exclusives on Crown Brush. You get a lot of bang for your buck. 😉

Natural Products Purchase from Coastal Scents

Posted on September 19, 2015 | Leave a comment

Coastal Scents recently had a sale on all of their natural products. I was really low on shea butter and black soap. These two items have been my trusted beauty must haves.

The Liquid Black Soap has always intrigued me. It’s worth a try.

Moisturizing Black Soap with Cocoa Butter
Moisturizing Black Soap with Shea Butter – Unscented

I’ve already used the regular black soap from Coastal Scents. I will be trying these out in my skincare routine.

I don’t like the way my skin feels when I used regular lotion. This was definitely a much needed purchase. 🙂

Crown Brush Purchase from HauteLook (my original obsession)

Posted on August 29, 2015 | 5 comments

It has been a while since I last made a Crown Brush purchase from HauteLook. I remember placing orders every time Crown Brush was on HauteLook (BTW Crown Brush is on HauteLook this weekend). What caught my attention this time around was the HauteLook Exclusive 10-Piece Syntho Brush Set for $5.00. I did manage to get a few other things too. LOL!
