*I bought this with my own money because I’m a real person and can relate to you. Please be wary of people who only review or speak about products that they receive for free!*
I’m going to ask everyone a question. What was your favorite scent growing up? I mean your favorite….not necessarily one that you went through phases with. I mean THE fragrance.
*no one paid me to say anything about this and I haven’t bought these items-yet. If I do, it will be with my own funds*
I go back and forth with my feelings about Avon….in today’s ‘now’ generation, it’s not exactly convenient to wait for things. That sounds entitled because it is. Maybe I should be ashamed of myself-and maybe I am. Regardless, there are some things that Avon just does well. My local representative dropped off the latest campaign (and I took a sneak peek of the next one) and as I thumb through, here are some items I am keeping my eye on.
I received these products for review from Influenster.
Honestly in case you didn’t know, these perfumes aren’t new…..they launched 8 years ago and I bought a full sized bottle of sinner and used the entire thing. I absolutely loved ‘sinner’, and hated ‘saint’ -here they are in their ‘first version’ packaging:
Queen Bee of BEE23 Natural Beauty, Michelle Rosetta, began this venture in an off grid cabin outside Thunder Bay, ON when she was impassioned by the current state of our environment and the impact our beauty industry had not only on our planet but on our people. “After suffering from severe headaches, I realized the trigger was my favourite perfume.” says Rosetta “Although the scent was soft, with research I realized there were severely detrimental synthetic chemical additives in my product. As a woman and mother, I immediately saw the connection between what I wore on my skin, my health and the impact it had on those around me and my environment.” Taking matters into her own hands, Michelle set out on a journey to gain the knowledge and skills to create a natural formula that would soothe, restore and rejuvenate with all the aspects of a potent facial moisturizer and none of the contaminants that actually can dry, irritate and take away from a youthful complexion.
Three years later with a “we can do it” attitude, she has gained a growing incredibly loyal customer base, a substantial retail presence and of course the next step is the red carpet! Now, BEE23 Natural Beauty has been invited to bring their natural glow to one of the notorious gifting suites at the 2017 Awards Week in Hollywood. The goal is to have their products that you love and use become the talk of Tinseltown. If you have seen them in action, then you know they’ve been hustling hard and going to La La Land is in their sights. BEE23 Natural Beauty will be posting their Hollywood adventure from opening curtains to end of chapter via YouTube and social media, so you can join them every step of the way.

I have been finding myself window shopping on the internet lately. I open my computer and then before I know it, I have 10 extra tabs open because I just read or learned about this or that and of course I ‘need’ it. Enter my other half…..he has always says that I just ‘buy things to buy them.’ So I’ve been challenging myself NOT to do that (and for those of you that watch me on YouTube, you’ll notice I have not been on lately. Blame him). But in the spirit of a true shopper, I’ve decided to list a few items that I’m interested in….and some people I’ve been watching (*cough* obsessed with). Check it out below and let me know if you like what I’m doing here. Links are included for every item I MAY purchase so if you are interested, you’re welcome!
Here’s what’s been rocking my world this past week!
The Body Shop All in one BB cream: Wow, did they change the formula on this product. I had used it long ago, and it certainly wasn’t THIS good. This is a skin adapting formula, it dispenses white, and then changes color to suit skin tone. It provides light-medium coverage, is SO light feeling and feels so wonderful on the skin. It’s made with natural ingredients, and the first scent I get when applying is honey.
Marcelle Twist Push-Up mascara: I’ve got major love for Marcelle mascaras but this this one holds a special place in my <3. I selected this photo so you could see that the brush contracts. The brush in extended position is for length and in the contracted position, provides volume. The formulas on Marcelle mascaras are AMAZING and I highly recommend you get your hands on some or make friends with someone in Canada (me) that can send you some.
Dior addict lipstick in Espiegle: I sure can’t pronounce the name of this lipstick but I do love it. It’s such a great shade of pink, sheer on the lips and hydrating. The only ‘down’ side is that you WILL be reapplying and reapplying this lippie.
Coach Poppy Citrine Blossom perfume is just about the perfect blend of florals for spring transitioning into summer. I love that it’s a light fragrance but still lasts all day. It’s heavy on the floral upon application but has a crisp finish which I adore.
I am so thankful for people like @jillojello who gift me fabulous items like the Crimson Amulet collection palette by NYX. The shadows worked extremely well (with primer) but I fell hard for the blush (2nd from top). It was just amazing! I’m happy to have this palette and I”ll be even happier to have it for travel. I could take this on my next trip and only need to bring a foundation! YES!
