OUI FRESH BEAUTY FINDS

Leave a comment

It’s been an amazing first week back on the mainland. I have so many amazing Hawaii post to share with you. Because I have a wealth of content on the way, I’ll be posting two times a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) for the next few weeks so that memory doesn’t become complete mush from all my Hawaii adventures. Monday’s I’ll have my #OOTD post and mid-week I’ll share about Hawaii. Does that sound like a deal? Awesome, so glad you’re all on board, because I have so much to tell you!

If you keep up with my IG and Facebook page, you’ll notice, I dedicate 1 weekly post to one of my favorite collaborations with Oui Fresh. They are seriously an amazing beauty brand that I’ve been rolling with for almost half a year now. I get this pretty freaking awesome beauty box 1-2 times a month with all these amazing goodies in it from hair conditioner to shampoo, to deodorant to essential oils, you name it, I got it. I haven’t really dedicated any time to talking about the products and how much I love them, so I thought I’d share a bit about the lip glosses this week and circle back around in the coming weeks and feature some of the other amazing beauty box finds I have in my possession.

Keep scrolling and check out this colorful look on the way down. My outfits just keep getting weirder and weirder and I love it.

So Oui Fresh has great selection of lip glosses on deck. You can search them all here. What I love most is that their all great colors that match with just about anything, made with all natural ingredients and they are super moisturizing! I’m not ashamed to say I’m running out the Sabrina lip gloss featured in this post. It’s by far my fav shade and I basically wear it everyday. I have a couple more go to’s like the lava lamp and Buffy, you may have seen me sporting them on IG in some past post. Anyway, when you get some time, swing by the Oui Fresh website and check out their beauty boxes and don’t forget to subscribe to get them every month. I swear, it’s totally worth a look. Oh, before I go, link to my look is above the sweater is from a few years back and the hat is thrifted so I just linked some similar items for your shopping pleasure. By the way, if you’re wanting an explanation for this outfit mash-up just know that I was feeling a little 90’s grudge, but still kept it extra colorful.

See you all back here on Wednesday with a Hawaii post.

EARTH KISSED BEAUTY

Leave a comment

Been beach hoping around the lovely island of Oahu for the past few days living my best life in my best skin days yet. Silky, smooth and soft to the touch, my skin has been at its all-time best these past few days thanks to Earth Kissed Beauty.

Charles and I have been on the island for about a week now visiting for the International Conference on Education. When we weren’t hanging with educators and other intellectuals, we were soaking up some serious Hawaiian sun, and I’m surprised to say it hasn’t gotten to me yet. Everyday, I’ve been using the Chamomile Peace Sugar Scrub and Sweet Baby Body Butter and my skin has been super soft and supple to the touch. Most body butters I’ve used in the past have had heavy fragrance and tend not to last long, but this body butter keeps me moisturized all day and the smell is not too aggressive: Let’s just say I’ll be buying in bulk from now on.

One of my fave things about this skincare line is that all of the Earth Kissed products are 100% all natural, organic ingredients with no fillers or preservatives. That did make it tricky to travel to Hawaii with, but if kept in cool or in a temperature regulated location, you should be fine. All natural ingredients are usually the first thing I look for in my skincare products because I have ultra sensitive skin in addition to eczema and a skin condition called Hidradentitis Supprativa. I have to be extremely careful with not only my diet, but with what skincare products I opt to use. I’ve become real good at reading ingredient labels and have had great success with products that simply have less in it. Number one skincare shopping rule for me, less is best. For me, the less ingredients the better. I’ve also found that the thicker emollients or skincare products that include thick oils (olive oil, coconut oil, apricot oil and avocado oil) are also a plus and do wonders for my skin. Usually when the products include ingredients like that, it’s long-lasting, really penetrates beyond the first few layers of skin and keeps me moisturized all day.

Are you local? Interested in trying out these amazing products by Earth Kissed Beauty? Well then head on over to Earth Kissed beauty located in Garner, NC. You can also check our Earth Kissed on their Instagram page at @earth_kissed_beauty

RELAX WITH NEUTROGENA RAINBATH

1 Comment

  After winning the pageant back in October, things have really kicked into full gear for me and my calendar is jam packed with back to back commitments, but I’m grateful to partner with Neutrogena and try out the Neutrogena Rainbath Shower and Bath Gels. #gotitfree.

A girl needs some down time and I usually carve out some relax time with a nice hot bath or a refreshing shower. Lately, my fav scent to shower with is the Ocean Mist, it makes me feel like I’m at the beach on vacation. After I run out of the Ocean Mist, I can’t wait to try out the Fresh Plum, Pomegranate, Pear and Green Tea and the Original Rainbath scents too.  What I love most about the line is that all the gels are a 3-in-1 and can be used as a shower gel, or used for a nice hot bath or as a skin smoothing shaving cream. 3-in-1 really means 3 things off my very busy to do list and 3 ways I can get some relax time in.

My skin has been super soft these past few weeks and I smell super fresh. Down time has never smelt so good. If you’re my friend and you’re reading this, just know you’ll be getting one of these for Christmas because I know your just as busy as I am and need an excuse to relax and take a hot bath too. Proud to say I’m adding the Neutrogena Rainbath gels to my gift giving guide this year. Speaking of gift giving, I’ll be sharing my Christmas gifting ideas on the blog soon #staytuned.

Till next time.
