Welcome to another review! I got this in a blogger package from Skin18.com to review. I've never used a modeling pack before, so this was pretty exciting. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Process:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clean face with warm water. Optional to prepare you skin with toner. Prepare the Inoface Modeling Cup Pack with clean water.

<div style="text-align: center;">
I followed the directions as closely as possible. Unfortunately, all of the instructions and labels on the package are in Korean, but Skin18 has directions on their website. This baby come shrink wrapped, and when you open it up, the powder goes everywhere. There's a tiny pink spatula that comes with it to mix the mask with. The mask has a light citrus scent. It's pretty messy to apply, but there's still a good bit left over after you're done. It dries down in about 25 minutes. It was easy to remove, but it didn't come off in one piece like I expected. </div>

<b>Final Thoughts:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd say this was a great first experience with a modeling cup. It was easy to apply and easy to remove. I was expecting it to stick really firmly to my face since its technically rubber, but my skin felt very soft and supple afterwards.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Skin18.com was kind enough to send me my second blogger package a few weeks ago. I had a few sheet masks in the package, and I thought I would try out this multi-step mask first.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Performance: </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The ampoule was thick and lotiony in consistency. It felt more like am emulsion than an ampoule, but it sinks in quickly and has a fresh scent. The mask is made of a thick cottony material, but it had a nice cling. I didn't have any problems with it staying on. It was coupled with a thin, watery essence. There was none left in the package after application. I wore the mask for a total of 30 minutes before it was dry in places. After about 10 minute, the remaining essence had sunk in, but it left my skin feeling slightly tacky. As for the night cream, it is really thin and extremely emoliant. A very small amount goes a long way. For being as thin as it it, it's very hydrating.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Final Thoughts:</b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next morning, my skin felt supple, but the night cream isn't as thick as I would have liked. I like the feeling of being completely hydrated and feeling like I have to wash off the excess cream from the night before. </span></div>

If you haven't heard of Gutedama, you've clearly been living under the biggest rock, under the sea, in the Mariana's Trench. Gude is the cutest, laziest little egg you will ever see. He's part of the Sanrio gang, and Holika Holika recently released a bunch of products with his cute little indifferent face on them. I got to try this mask out thanks to my girl Amy of PeepingPomeranian.</div>

es because I didn't feel like getting up yet. I had it on a total of about 25 minutes. This tingles a bit on the skin. I wasn't expecting that. I thought it would be more of a soothing mask, but it definitely gives you a kick start. My skin felt more awake after I removed the sheet.<br />

<b><u>Final Thoughts:</u></b> The sheet is made of a super thick fabric. I had a hard time getting this to set on my face smoothly. There were lumps and bumps all over. I found that the upper lip part was very large. It overlapped the top of my lip a little. It's cute to wear or to have as a collector's item, but I wouldn't buy it for its effects.</div>

I randomly came across this mask in a set with the other 4 varieties of the On the Skin line while being lame and browsing eBay. It's become a problem. Anyway, since I wasn't familiar with the brand, I bought the set to try, and I'm pretty dang happy I did.</div>

The sheet was saturated with a lotiony essence (probably thick because its cheese). It has a bit of a cooling sensation while wearing it.

<b>Sally's Box Salt Pore Cleansing Foam</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got this from 0.8Liter to review a while back, and it's slowly worked its way into my routine. I've really been enjoying this as a gentle exfoliant as well as a foaming cleanser. There isn't tons of Yellow Dust here in Indiana, but I do work at a pizza place, and I can't tell you how much flour gets caked on my face. That's kind of the same, right? (Right?!) Anyhoo, I love the feeling of this on my skin. The salt crystals dissolve as you cleanse, and yes, this tastes salty. </div>

<b>Klavuu White Pearlsation Revitalizing Pearl Treatment Toner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is also from 0.8Liter, and MAN am I happy I got chosen for this. The packaging is gorgeous, the scent is divine, and the effects... A1. The texture and effects of this are similar to an FTE, so sometimes I use it as such after I use a different toner and other times (like when I have a short skincare night) I use it alone. This has helped me so much with my hyperpigmentation. I absolutely adore this!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked this up on a whim while browsing through eBay after trying out the Naruko Snail and CoQ10 Masks. I figured I'd try more of their products, and toners tend to be non offensive. Well, my bottle broke in shipping, so I had to decant what I could into a container while they sent me out a new one. I'm so glad it broke! Now I have more of the toner than I would have before haha. It has a thicker-than-water but thinner-than-gel consistency that reminds me of the Sulwhasoo Balancing Water. The scent is slightly sweet, and it hydrates really well. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>First Botany Niacinamide B3 Magic Facial Toner</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is how niaciniamide came into my life. This is how I discovered a truly amazing ingredient. I particularly like that this toner tingles on the skin. I honestly don't know how much it's doing for my skin, but I really love it. The spray bottle is really nice. It has a fine mist that doesn't leave big droplets of product on my face. I'm almost done with this, and it saddens me. </div>

<b>Papa Recipe Bombee Honey Mask</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You guys. YOU GUYS! If you haven't tried this mask, go buy it right now! The hype is so real on this. The first time I used this I had some really bad breakouts, and after I took this off, they were smaller, less red, and overall less irritated. So now, whenever I have an angry spot, I whip out one of these babies.<br />

<b>Annie's Way Arbutin + Hyaluronic Acid Jelly Mask</b><br />
I already have a <a href="http://aplaceforthese.blogspot.com/2016/07/annies-way-arbutin-hyalyronic-acid.html" target="_blank">full review</a> posted on this, but if you need a TLDR, it's so cool! It has a nice cooling effect, and I just love how hydrated my skin feels afterwards.<br />

<b>Pure Bliss Antioxidant Mask</b><br />
This has been a favorite since I bought it. It contains glycolic acid, which exfoliates the skin. My face always feels super soft after I use this, but never dry. The glycolic acid makes your face tingle, so if you have sensitive skin, I'd probably stay away from this. </div>

<b>Dear by Enprani Bounce Cheese Cream</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two words: Holy Grail. I can't with this cream. I just can't. I love everything about it from the texture to how plump my skin feels in the morning. This is a pretty heavy cream, which is why I only use it at night in the warmer months. In the winter, I can get away with using it both morning and night. I have a travel size of this to hold me over the shipping time when I use this one up. I have to repurchase it.<br />

Being a woman of color, it's hard to find a sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast. This one actually doesn't! My last sunscreen left a slight one, but it didn't mesh well with any of my eye gels that I'm currently using. I have zero problems with this particular sunscreen meshing with anything. There's no weird pilling or milky residue after I put on my eye gel on top of this, and I really appreciate that. </div>

NO:HJ has been releasing so many new masks lately. I got the pleasure of trying out this variety thanks to 0.8Liter free of charge for review. You can look into how to get product <a href="http://aplaceforthese.blogspot.com/2016/07/how-to-get-free-stuff-or-at-least-for.html" target="_blank">here</a>. The Intracell line is the newest thing to hit the shelves, and I was so excited to get this campaign. You get 10 sheets per pack, and each pack looks like a little book sleeve!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-weight: bold;"><u>Ingredients:</u></b> I couldn't find a complete ingredients list for this ANYWHERE, and trying to translate the ingredients from the package wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. So I'll just list the notables, ok?</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ascorbyl Tetraisylpalmitate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ubiquinone, Orange Peel Extract, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, Hollyhock Extract, Green Tea Extract</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Process:</u></b> After cleansing and toning, apply the mask sheet to the face. After the mask starts to bubble, leave on for 5-10 minutes. Remove the mask and massage in bubbles, then rinse.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKUuZUCMIpTMdfcGy7nY_dgvAm7QiXX7U4XsADRcG0J26QTX5RYexYzWhospill11-XcbBhs-PZw3Hsq234hN36xf-rqcJm1W2HMh6O3DB38zRoFR5z8YKA6Rk8gTaGF_bOk0VRIMH_nc/s1600/IMG_4553.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKUuZUCMIpTMdfcGy7nY_dgvAm7QiXX7U4XsADRcG0J26QTX5RYexYzWhospill11-XcbBhs-PZw3Hsq234hN36xf-rqcJm1W2HMh6O3DB38zRoFR5z8YKA6Rk8gTaGF_bOk0VRIMH_nc/s400/IMG_4553.JPG" width="400" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-weight: bold;"><u>Performance:</u></b> Almost as soon as I got the mask on my face, it started to foam up. The mask smells like hand soap, which isn't bad. It just does. I kept this on for 10-15 minutes because I forgot this wasn't a normal sheetmask. My skin felt super soft once I washed it off, but after it dried, it felt a little tight.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Final Thoughts:</u></b> I love the thickness of the mask sheet. Black mask sheets are my favorite. They usually have a thick, feltlike texture. I'm so glad I got a full set of these masks, so I can get more uses out of them.</div>

Japanese sheetmasks are a new discovery for me. If I'm thinking of sheetmasks, it's probably Korean or Taiwanese brands, but thanks to trusty eBay, I found a 7 days mask pack of these adorable Babyish sheetmasks.</div>

PreLab is a relatively new company to the sheetmask game, and y'all know that I LURV sheetmasks. I got one of each of their Skin Energy Masks a while ago in the Memebox FOMO Mask Box, and I've used 2 of them so far and really enjoyed them, so I thought I'd review at least one of them.</div>

Sephora doesn't play when it comes their Favorites collections. I finally decided to pick one up, and I got the Skincare Rituals. In it was this little cutie. Algenist is a line I've never tried before. Masking is totally my thing, so this was right up my alley.</div>

Putting it on, it feels kind of gritty, but it does contain 2 kinds of clay. It has a fresh scent to it that I really like. When I finally got around to washing it off, my skin felt AMAZING! It was so incredibly smooth and soft and not dry at all. I find that clay masks suck all the moisture out of my skin, but this is absolutely hydrating.</div>

As a beauty blogger, I try out a lot of products. Like, a lot! I have new things come in at least once a week that I have to fit into my routine and give a try to write reviews on. That being said, I sometimes breakout from new products, and I'm sure you do to. I mean, why else are you here? Lol So before you return, toss, or give that cream to a friend, I'm gonna help you learn what your breakouts mean. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Purging</u> - It gets worse, but then it gets better. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Purging only happens when you're using actives. Actives are things like AHAs, BHAs, retinoids, scrubs, and peels. These all remove dead skin and allow any oil and gross stuff to come to the surface. Purging = bad stuff already in there comes out of there. Purging is cleansing your skin of existing yuckiness. So unless you're testing a new serum or something, you aren't breaking out. That's just your skincare doing it's job, and once you've used it for a while, they purging will stop. Just give new actives about 6 weeks to get out of the purging phase. If it last longer than a few months, yeah stop using that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Breakouts</u> - That is NOT supposed to be there!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To tell if you're having a breakout from a product, and not just a purge, you should be getting acne where you don't normally get it or your normal breakouts get a whole lot worse and don't go away. Just don't confuse this with an allergic reaction or skin irritation. Allergic reactions happen your skin burns or gets red and itchy. Immediately stop using the new thing. Try applying a hydrocortizone cream to calm the skin. Irritation is when your skin feels sensitive from a product. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take your time when testing new beauty items. That new scrub you got is probably helping you. </div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>My first look into the July box.</i></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my third month getting this box, and I've just been getting acclimated to being a mother of 2 while taking a break from blogging. In case you didn't know, Sephora Play! is a 10$/month subscription service from Sephora (duh!) that offers deluxe size samples of prestige beauty brands. You get 5 samples and a perfume shipped to you in a cute striped box with an even cuter little bag inside. On top of that, you get a little Sephora Play! card that you can take into your local Sephora and redeem for 10 Beauty Insider Points. This month, I got 3 makeup, 1 hair care, and 1 skincare product, in addition to my fragrance sample.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've tried the original primer, and it has a silicone feel to it. It definitely makes your foundation glide on really nicely, but this variety I haven't tried. This version is supposed to be mattifying, minimize your pores, and help your foundation stay on for 8 hours.</div>

I was so freaking excited when Too Faced brought this out in a deeper shade! I always wanted to use the Chocolate Soleil, but it was never dark enough for my skintone. I'm really upset that this STILL isn't dark enough!</div>

I know I won't use this, haha. I don't like texturizing sprays for my hair. As soon as I opened my box and saw this, I immediately messaged my friend and asked her if she wanted it. So this will be going into her next package. Plus, I'm not liking the scent of it.</div>

I have many, many, many (many!) obsessions, one of which is sunglasses! It all started with my very first pair of Ray-Bans. And then I was hooked! But Ray-Bans get expensive, and so I was lost. Left to my own devices in a sea of expensive eyewear, I had to continue wearing last year's styles. It was traumatic. But then, <a href="http://soltheory.com/" target="_blank">Sol Theory</a> came into my life! And can you believe that they send you the latest styles for as little as 12.99/month plus shipping?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can choose from 8 different subscriptions ranging from 12.99 to just 26.99 a month! And they have accessories!!! You can get a single pair, a pair for you and a pair for bae, 2 pairs for you, and a few other options. For my first month, I decided to just get my toes wet with <a href="http://soltheory.com/product/hers-single-pair-box/" target="_blank">a single pair of shades for her</a>. I got these babies!!!</div>

My journey into K-beauty has also taken me into T-beauty. That's Taiwanese for those who don't know. Annie's Way is a Taiwanese brand that pops up a lot when T-beauty comes up, so I decided to find a mask and try it out. I recently won an auction for this on eBay, and got this massive 250 mL (8.33 oz) tub for 6$. SIX DOLLARS!!! The lowest priced tub on eBay the day that I'm writing this review (7/21/16) is going for 17.49$. But enough about what a great deal I got on this product. Let's get into the details!</div>

<b>Performance:</b> I followed the directions listed on the packaging as closely as I could. I definitely left the mask on about 10 minutes longer than I should because I went out and walked my neighborhood playing Pokemon Go with my sister, but give me a break! Once I dried my face, my skin felt so incredibly soft. It LOOKED soft. And it felt super smooth and hydrated. There was an immediate brightening effect, too.</div>

<b>Final Thoughts:</b> I'll definitely be adding this into my regular rotation. The claims on this are spot on. I love anything with hyaluronic acid in it, and it definitely plumps up my skin. I'm probably also gonna buy 1 (or all?) of the other varieties of jelly mask Annie's Way offers.</div>

As a beauty blogger, I spend a lot of my paycheck on beauty items. But as a single mom of 2, that money has places to go other than to creams, cleansers, and highlighters (It's a dilemma, I know!). So I had to find ways to get my fix while spending as little of my actual money as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Giftcards</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4xdyVx9EOZnBK_wLGlgKnjjFfFNX-oNN-KnCVR3TXktygO85PLKZzFIgCLN3nK3ESQBD8HWpaIl-DqrOGheTmEOIHiGcqkA8IE8FBmqUbpGdnFKMyXwSFAD8BLKA00_15Va3hpUMpbLg/s1600/IMG_4399.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4xdyVx9EOZnBK_wLGlgKnjjFfFNX-oNN-KnCVR3TXktygO85PLKZzFIgCLN3nK3ESQBD8HWpaIl-DqrOGheTmEOIHiGcqkA8IE8FBmqUbpGdnFKMyXwSFAD8BLKA00_15Va3hpUMpbLg/s320/IMG_4399.jpg" width="205" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the easiest ways to get money to spend is through giftcards. I get my giftcards through research panels. One that I use all the time is <a href="https://www.crossmediapanel.com/" target="_blank">Cross Media Panel</a>. You can only use this is you have Google Chrome. Basically, you install their software, and it monitors what kinds of sites you frequent on the web. It's that easy! Then they pay you for it each month. It isn't a lot, but it does add up. You redeem your money through giftcards (they offer ones from Sephora!). This used to only be available for Android and other non-Apple devices, but it's now available for download on their website for iOS. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You do the same thing with <a href="https://www.mediainsiders.com/" target="_blank">Media Insiders Panel</a>. I've used both for about 2 years now. I haven't had any problems with either one giving me any type of virus or malware, and none of my information has been stolen.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div>

<b><u>Free For Review</u></b></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Apart from earning points or money for giftcards, you can just get free product! I use three programs on a regular basis. The one I found out about first was Influenster. Feel free to use my referral link <a href="http://www.influenster.com/r/323924" target="_blank">here</a>. With Influenster, you take surveys and review products to get product in the form of VoxBoxes. You're not guaranteed a box, but the more active you are on their site, the more likely you are to get one.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiz9eogvs_wOuVZX3jp1LU3R6UAfghhqVsNXVIdbdKc0WjksJBB_l0mvAuhfsT9tzOFcaPT-vvtjcjciUEzv_asx71WulzZFIMqmRi6Egzu1Kip9j9u_WEoUjD-PXyw19rUX6NVaPPqyc/s1600/FullSizeRender.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiz9eogvs_wOuVZX3jp1LU3R6UAfghhqVsNXVIdbdKc0WjksJBB_l0mvAuhfsT9tzOFcaPT-vvtjcjciUEzv_asx71WulzZFIMqmRi6Egzu1Kip9j9u_WEoUjD-PXyw19rUX6NVaPPqyc/s320/FullSizeRender.jpg" width="210" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another Review program I like to use to get stuff for free is <a href="http://bzzagent.com/" target="_blank">BzzAgent</a>. This one needs no referral to get into. You take surveys to get your spending habits, likes, and dislikes, and other info to determine which programs are right for you. Then when a campaign matches your profile, they shoot you an email and you get free stuff to review!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The most recent addition to my free for review repetoire is <a href="http://www.08liter.com/" target="_blank">0.8L</a>. This is specifically for those of you interested in k-beauty. There are prerequisites to using this, but they're really easy to get. They used to be in Korea only, but now have platforms all over the place. They just recently launched their website, where you request the available products, and wait to see if you're approved. I've had the most success with this avenue. There are new products posted daily. Just make sure you have your language set to English, and your campaigns set to USA!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Super Discounts</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're impatient like me and just want product NOW, there are sites out there where you can get coupon codes for products on Amazon to review. This is fun for me, because I get to try out smaller brands. I'm helping to support someone's family this way. There's a couple different sites I use to review things on Amazon. The catch with these is you have to have an Amazon Prime account.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one that is the easiest to use is called <a href="http://amzreviewtrader.com/" target="_blank">Amazon Review Trader</a>. On this site there are thousands of different items to choose from. This isn't just beauty related. You can search within categories or search for specific products. All you have to do is request the product, and wait to get approved. The more reviews your submit, the more likely you are to get approved for products. After you submit your review to Amazon, all you do is submit the permalink to AMZ Review Trader and move on to your next product.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have two other Amazon review sites to mention. They're <a href="http://honestfew.com/" target="_blank">HonestFew</a> and <a href="http://ilovetoreview.com/" target="_blank">iLoveToReview</a>. These two are very similar. You sign up through their websites and they send you emails when they have new products to review. Both of these work on a first come first serve basis, so I have my email set up to send me a notification on my phone when either of them email me. That way I'm not missing out on product that I want. Just like AMZ Review Trader, these sites offer more than just beauty products.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's everything I know of so far. If you guys have any other ways to get product for review, please comment below, or leave me a comment on my <a href="http://instagram.com/aplaceforthese" target="_blank">Instagram</a> page. Happy blogging!</div>

Hey, guys! In case you didn't know, Skin18.com is a Kbeauty site based out of Hong Kong, China. They've got lots of well known brands, as well as some smaller ones too. I recently received a package from them with some goodies in it to review. Here's what I got!<br />

This was the very first thing I tried out, because it looked the most interesting. I'd seen this type of mask before, but I had never tried one before. It was pretty cool. You can definitely get at least 2 uses out of the cleanser and the ampoule, and the mask was really nice too. I enjoyed using this. It's really great for travel.

I really like avocado for my hair because it's super hydrating and keeps my hair hydrated. I have normal/dry skin, so for me, this mask was a little too rich. I like that it's super hydrating, but it's too hydrating for me. I may pick up more when winter hits and see if I like them better when it's drier out.

Mirum is a brand I'd never heard of until I started following Skin 18 on Instagram. Lemon is definitely a flavor I would have chosen for myself. I like the tingle of a lemon mask, which this one had, and I like it for brightening the skin. I had 2 gripes about this mask: 1) It took some effort to get the mask to stick to my chin, and 2) the essence wasn't evenly distributed on the sheet.

I think I've used a nose strip one other time in my life, and at that point, I may have had 1 or 2 blackheads. I take much better care of my skin now, so I didn't really need this. For review purposes, I tested it out. It was super easy to apply, but I was NOT prepared for the hurt that comes with taking it off. I think this would be better suited to people who have lots of pores on their nose. (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BHe7tVQB6pt/?taken-by=aplaceforthese" target="_blank">IG</a>)<br />

Serums are one of my favorite skincare products. I was most excited to try this out. Skin 18 sent out a sample, but I got a good 5 uses out of it. It has a slightly oily texture but sinks in fast and doesn't leave any residue. I would absolutely pick up another of these. (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BHgfcbvBVlf/?taken-by=aplaceforthese" target="_blank">IG</a>)<br />
<br />
If you want to see my full reviews on each of these products, just click the links at the end of each little blurb. Thank you so much to Skin 18 for sending this package out. I hope to work with them again very soon. Until next time...<br />

Kiss, Kiss.<br />

It feels like FOREVER since I've done an empties post! The last one had to be at least like 6 months ago. I'll link it <a href="http://aplaceforthese.blogspot.com/2015/10/beauty-trash-body-and-hair.html" target="_blank">here</a> if your interested. It takes me such a long time to finish products. Between being pregnant, work, and having a 5 year old, I don't have a ton of time to use my products the way I want to. That being said, I've used up so many in the past 3-4 months, I had to post this. </div>

Not to many things in this category this time. I finished my first official co-wash. It's the <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Head-Shoulders-Moisture-Care-Dandruff-Co-Wash-Conditioner-12.8-fl-oz/40694205" target="_blank">Head & Shoulders Moisture Care Co-Wash</a> for dandruff. I really liked this. Like a lot. This paired with the shampoo did really great things for my scalp, and I really liked how my hair felt after each use. I've got a <a href="http://aplaceforthese.blogspot.com/2015/05/first-impressions-head-shoulders.html" target="_blank">first impression</a> and a <a href="http://aplaceforthese.blogspot.com/2015/05/head-shoulders-moisture-care-line-full.html" target="_blank">full review</a> about the full line posted from last year. Planning on repurchasing this. As for the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Toni-Guy-Prep-Leave-Conditioner/dp/B006L6AA8Y" target="_blank">Toni & Guy Leave In Conditioner</a>, I wouldn't buy another. It did it's job, but it wasn't life changing. </div>

There's one bag of epsom salt from the dollar store. It's been a staple my entire pregnancy for back, hip, and muscle pain. I have to have it. The brand doesn't matter to me. I already have more in a eucalyptus scent and another in a lavender scent. Aside from that, I finished 4 body washes. From least to most favorite they are <a href="http://thesomersettoiletryco.com/?s=shower+gel&post_type=product" target="_blank">Aromas Artesanales de Antigua</a> in Lotus Flower, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Olay-Body-Wash-Radiance-Ribbons/dp/B000YYFH50/ref=sr_1_1_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1457481353&sr=1-1&keywords=Olay+Radiance+Ribbons" target="_blank">Olay Radiance Ribbons</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bath-Body-Works-Signature-Collection/dp/B003JJ1AEE/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1457481499&sr=1-2&keywords=Bath+%26+Body+Works+Berry+Vanilla+shower+gel" target="_blank">Bath & Body Works Berry Vanilla</a>, and <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4190121" target="_blank">Ogx Coconut Milk Hibiscus</a>. The only one of these I wouldn't buy again is the AAA body wash. It didn't have much of a scent or much of a lather. </div>

I have a ton of skincare products to go over. A lot of things have met their end lately, and it makes me so happy! I have so many more products to go through. I have 4 things that I didn't get to finish but were hitting their expiration date. Those are Step 1 & Step 3 of the <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=prod2113854" target="_blank">AcneFree System</a>, my <a href="http://www.cvs.com/shop/beauty/skin-care/face/cvs-am-moisturizing-facial-lotion-for-normal-to-dry-skin-spf-30-prodid-929469" target="_blank">CVS AM Moisturizing Facial Lotion</a>, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nourish-Organic-Renewing-Cooling-Treatment/dp/B00V0XR4XM" target="_blank">Nourish Organic Eye Cream</a>. </div>

I saved the best for last with the makeup products. I gave up on 2 mascaras: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Origins-GinZing-Brightening-Mascara-Lengthen/dp/B009FBVOGY" target="_blank">Origins GinZing </a>and <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod5980006" target="_blank">L'Oreal Lash Out Butterfly</a><span id="goog_45704005"></span><span id="goog_45704006"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a>. I really love them both and would definitely repurchase. I'm tossing my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Too-Faced-Cosmetics-Shadow-Insurance/dp/B0013CSGBE" target="_blank">Too Faced Shadow Insurance</a>. The texture has changed since the last time I used it, plus it was getting low anyway. The last 2 things are lip balms. It's always an accomplishment to finish one of these. One is a classic <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Carmex-Balm-Moisturizing-Original-Ounce/dp/B004X67G36/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1457490282&sr=1-2&keywords=carmex+lip+balm" target="_blank">Carmex</a>, and the other is a classic <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Blistex-Medicated-Dryness-Chapping-Irritated/dp/B0063GKX1G" target="_blank">Blistex</a>. </div>

From Benton, I purchased the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/BENTON-Snail-High-Content-Essence/dp/B00EC60MYW" target="_blank">Snail Bee High Content Essence</a>. I am so freaking excited to try this out. I've been really interested in trying out some essences, boosters, and ampoules. I know that Anastasia over at Glamorable uses this and recommends it. So of course I needed it. If you want to know more about essences, she recently posted about them <a href="https://glamorable.com/what-is-an-essence-and-how-to-use-it/" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

In this set comes a 65mL Moistfull Booskin, and both the Bounce Cheese Cream, and Tone-up Cheese Cream, each 15mL. I already own the full size Bounce Cheese Cream, and I'm completely in love with it. The Booskin has rave reviews, and I just needed to try the Tone-up Cream to compare it with the Bounce Cream. </div>

Anyone familiar with Korean skincare has heard of the Brand Tony Moly. They have some of the sweetest looking packaging! While the packaging on their <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tony-Moly-Pure-Snail-Moisture/dp/B00OCHVGUK" target="_blank">Pure Eco Snail Moisture Gel</a> is pretty cute, I'm more concerned about what's inside. This gel is primarily made of snail mucin. 90%, to be exact! I know how incredibly hydrating snail filtrate is, and I couldn't pass up anything with this high a concentration for this big for such a low price. I only paid 5.50$ for a 12.8 oz tub! Since it's a gel, I'm probably going to hold off on using it until the weather stays consistently warm.</div>

Imselene is a brand I'm not super familiar with, but donkey milk products have been popping up on my radar lately. Having only tried one sleeping mask, I had to get this and try it out. In case you were wondering, it's the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Imselene-Donkey-Holic-Sleeping-3-52oz/dp/B00SZNBFT4" target="_blank">Donkey Milk Holic Sleeping Mask Pack</a>. With 3.52 oz of product, I'm not sure when I'll get through this. I only really use my other sleeping mask once or twice a week. </div>

Alright, so a few weeks ago I covered my <a href="http://aplaceforthese.blogspot.com/2016/01/winter-morning-skincare-routine.html" target="_blank">Winter Morning Skincare Routine</a>. In that post, I covered my skintype and my skincare concerns. My morning routine tends to be less strenuous than my night time routine. At night, it's easier for me to pile on the heavier products and add more products in. As a disclaimer, I don't do all of these steps every night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>First Cleanse</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oil cleanser have gotten a lot of attention, as of late, and for good reason. These are great at removing makeup and impurities gently and effectively without stripping the skin. I'm finishing up my first bottle of the <a href="http://www.julep.com/love-your-bare-face-cleansing-oil.html" target="_blank">Julep Bare Face Cleansing Oil</a>. It looks like they changed the name on it, but it's still the same product. Used on it's own, it's a great hydrating cleanser. It has grapeseed and olive oils which are great for getting rid of excess sebum and hydrating the skin, respectively. I like to use it to remove my makeup on the days where I wear it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Second Cleanse</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes, I put on a lot of makeup. Like a whole lot of makeup. My first cleanse doesn't get all of it off my face, like stubborn mascara, I go in with my <a href="http://www.target.com/p/neutrogena-naturals-fresh-cleansing-and-makeup-remover-6-fl-oz/-/A-13219356" target="_blank">Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing & Makeup Remover</a>. This is my main cleanser on days where I don't wear makeup at all. I really like the fresh apple scent and how creamy it is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIWACpW76PZ9aVgPT1mlqxEZ8xRAOMxfnKfM6yxIVaqZMpuTzJZLRCa7-o0Z-r7L8ym9PDq8frtFNbSND77T6YKPJXmw31u1tyoH68ze2s_bPPhlUOvItlx9V7-C_0OVdPt8CnK95fcQ/s1600/IMG_1354.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIWACpW76PZ9aVgPT1mlqxEZ8xRAOMxfnKfM6yxIVaqZMpuTzJZLRCa7-o0Z-r7L8ym9PDq8frtFNbSND77T6YKPJXmw31u1tyoH68ze2s_bPPhlUOvItlx9V7-C_0OVdPt8CnK95fcQ/s400/IMG_1354.JPG" width="285" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Tone</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Toner is super important for balancing the pH of your skin after you cleanse. It can also help to address skin concerns such as irritation and inflammation. I like to use a witch hazel based toner like <a href="http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/dickinson's-original-witch-hazel-pore-perfecting-toner/ID=prod4475-product" target="_blank">Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Pore Perfecting Toner</a>. This is an all natural toner made with 86% witch hazel or witch hazel extract. Witch hazel is great for reducing redness and helping to repair small tears in the skin.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Mask</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Masking is a very important step in my skincare routine. If I ever feel my skin is getting a bit off balance, I can use a mask as a quick push in the right direction. I use several different masks, each one addressing a different concern. As a rule, I use some type of mask at least 3 times a week. My current favorites are the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/cucumber-gel-mask-P382204" target="_blank">Cucumber Gel</a> and <a href="http://www.sephora.com/rose-stem-cell-bio-repair-gel-mask-P386377?skuId=1614304&icid2=product_similar%20products_skin%20care:masks:face%20masks_p386377_image" target="_blank">Rose Stemcell</a> Masks from Peter Thomas Roth, and the <a href="http://www.elfcosmetics.com/p/hydrating-bubble-mask?dept=all-skin-care" target="_blank">Hydrating Bubble Mask</a> from elf Cosmetics.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Mist</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I'm not doing a mask and I still want a little moisture boost, I use a facial mist. I'm currently using <a href="http://en.koreadepart.com/item/1386054126/shara-shara-vita-aura-level-up-mist" target="_blank">Shara Shara's Vita Aura Level Up Mist</a>. This is a Korean skincare product that's a dual layer mist, so be sure to shake it before each use. Containing Vitamin C, it helps to brighten skin and the oil layer helps add a bit of moisture.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Serums</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use up to 2 different serums in given night. For everyday use is the <a href="http://www.elfcosmetics.com/p/soothing-serum" target="_blank">elf Soothing Serum</a>. This one I use specifically for the nutrient boost. It has Vitamin E, Jojoba, Shea, and Aloe. The second serum, I actually use first because it's thinner. This one is the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003I828EC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00" target="_blank">IQ Naturals Argireline Serum with Hyaluronic Acid</a>. This is one of the first anti-aging products I've incorporated into my skincare routine. Argireline is used specifically to reduce the depth of wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid is amazing for dry skin. Just one gram of this stuff can hold up to 6 liters of water! Because argireline can irritate the skin, I only use this serum 3 times a week.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Night Cream</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a night cream that I used to use and then stopped using it to try out a different product. I picked it back up again because, a) I had finished my previous night cream and, b) I wanted to use it before it expired. The <a href="http://www.qvc.com/Proactiv-Solution-Clarifying-Night-Cream-1-fl.-oz.product.A43085.html" target="_blank">Proactiv Clarifying Night Cream</a> has salicylic acid in it which helps to get rid of any dark marks and refine the texture of the skin. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Oil</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've started using facial oils, and it really does help make the skin really supple. I'm currently using the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Now-Foods-Apricot-Kernel-4-Ounce/dp/B0041U1TNM/ref=sr_1_3?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1456367697&sr=1-3&keywords=now+solutions+apricot+oil" target="_blank">Now Solutions Apricot Oil</a>. It doesn't have much of a smell, but it feels really nice on the skin. It soaks in quickly and doesn't leave an greasy residue. A few drops covers the entire face. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Moisturizer</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This moisturizer is my very favorite product in my skincare routine. I mentioned it in my morning routine, as well. It's the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/ENPRANI-Dear-4-Bounce-Cheese-Cream/dp/B00NPP9NTG" target="_blank">Dear by Enprani Bounce Cheese Cream</a>. Enprani is a Korean brand, and their Dear by line is fantastic. I've sample about 4 products from it and I love them all. This moisturizer is stringy, like cheese, and just a little bit goes a really long way. I will absolutely be repurchasing this when it looks like I'm going to run out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisN6nTjLG5Ibqpa04RWeFXiphdkYa76LSFOtvHGgVtqygxdlYCUNXDDaYiGKud_OwIgzrX3EbHJcpqdIxrO8i9bVsK_z2XQ0GhLqacmGYOCMe4FhyphenhyphenBig5D7T0d73gzv0CuLqxlaJ1_0TM/s1600/IMG_1363.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisN6nTjLG5Ibqpa04RWeFXiphdkYa76LSFOtvHGgVtqygxdlYCUNXDDaYiGKud_OwIgzrX3EbHJcpqdIxrO8i9bVsK_z2XQ0GhLqacmGYOCMe4FhyphenhyphenBig5D7T0d73gzv0CuLqxlaJ1_0TM/s400/IMG_1363.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Sleeping Mask</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In place of my moisturizer a couple times a week, I use a sleeping mask. This is also a new thing to Western skincare. Sleeping masks are designed to give the skin an extra boost. You apply it at the end of your routine, let it sink in, and rinse it off in the morning. My very first sleeping mask, and my current sleeping mask, is the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Ladykin-Elmaju-Mangchee-Lifting-Volume/dp/B00H1N85C4" target="_blank">Ladykin Emalju Mangchee Lifting Mask</a>. It comes with a tiny little spatula, that you don't think will be enough product but is! The texture is really thin yet silky. It smells light and sweet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So that's it! That's how my nights usually look. Like I said up top, I don't use all of these products at the same time. For example, on a night I wear makeup, I would use both cleansers, toner, mask, serums (only using the argireline serum on MWF), night cream, oil, then moisturizer. That's pretty typical for me. If I want to do a short routine, I would use the second cleanser, tone, and moisturize. That's it. The products that I use depend on my skin's needs and my energy levels. So I hope that was informative for you all! See you next time. </div>

I wanted to branch out into the world of oils since my sister told me how much she's really been loving them. My mom has always used castor oil, and I just never got into it, but recently the rise in the oil trend has gotten me interested in trying some out. I got the opportunity to try out the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0117A8XDW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00%27" target="_blank">Foxbrim Certified Organic Castor Oil</a> for a discounted price thanks to HonestFew. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The product has very basic packaging. It comes in a thick, brown glass bottle with a twist off cap. My only complaint about the bottle, is that you can't control how much product comes when you pour it. As far as the consistency of the oil goes, it's very thick. I new castor oil was a thicker oil, but for some reason I didn't expect it to be as thick as it was. Even though it is thick, it does absorb quickly and completely into the skin. With that being said, I feel like it takes at least 2 layers to get the desired moisture that I need. The oil has no discernible scent. </div>

I purchased this oil to use on my skin. I had intended to use it on my face. Castor is great for cleansing the skin. Whether it be to take off makeup or strictly as an oil cleanser, it works great. It's great to rub into the skin and then apply a hot towel to steam out blackheads. Just make sure the towel isn't too hot. Wouldn't want to burn yourself. </div>

It's also really good to lighten or help prevent stretch marks. I have stretch marks from my first pregnancy. I haven't gotten any new ones with my current pregnancy (knock on wood!), but the prospect of making my old ones less visible sounds amazing. All I have to do is rub castor oil on my zebra stripes and wrap myself in plastic wrap to let it soak in. That will have to wait until after I give birth, though. Castor oil can cause uterine contractions, and little man has a bit longer to cook. It also works on scars!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The last thing I want to point out for castor oil use for the skin is that it's a natural way to get rid of cystic acne. All you have to do is wash your face or steam it with warm water to open your pores before you go to bed. Rub some of the castor oil onto the areas you want to clear up. When you wake in the morning, rinse it off. You should notice that the size of the blemishes has decreased over night. So what's the catch? You can't do it everyday. </div>

Welcome back guys! I have some bad news for you: this is going to be my last Ipsy bag for a while, because I finally decided to unsubscribe. I've been contemplating this for a while. <a href="http://aplaceforthese.blogspot.com/2016/01/january-2016-ipsy-glam-bag.html" target="_blank">Last month's</a> and <a href="http://aplaceforthese.blogspot.com/2016/01/december-2015-ipsy-glam-bag-unboxing.html" target="_blank">December's</a> bags didn't convince me to stay, so this will be my last review unless I decide to subscribe again in the future. I've been a subscriber since April 2013, so it's been a good run.</div>

February's theme is Pretty in #IpsyPink. Of course the theme had to be cute and girly for Valentine's Day month.The bag reflects the theme too. The front is a textured with a black background and white envelope with a heart in the center. The back is plain hot pink. I'm not a fan of this bag at all. It's definitely getting passed along. </div>

Let's go through the products from least exciting to most exciting starting with <a href="http://www.pauladorf.com/makeup/eyes/eye-liner" target="_blank">Paula Dorf Baby Eyes Enhancer</a>. This eye pencil is teeny tiny, coming in at a whopping .5 g. It's a nude shade to brighten the waterline. I have probably used nude or white in my waterline twice, so this won't be getting a lot of use from me. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The other item I have zero interest in is the <a href="https://www.chella.com/lipstick/passionate-pink-moisturizing-lipstick-pencil" target="_blank">Passionate Pink Lip Pencil</a> from Chella. It's a deep pink, almost red, color, and those just don't suite me. I would have been happier with another of their brow products. </div>

From Jersey Shore Spa is the <a href="http://www.jerseyshoresun.com/anti-aging-lip-and-hand-polish-a-gentle-natural-exfoliator-732.html" target="_blank">Anti Aging Lip & Hand Polish</a> in the scent Vanilla Bean. I thought this was a moisturizer at first, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see that it's actually a scrub. The first ingredient is brown sugar, which is promising. It shouldn't be very abrasive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I am always up for a new brush. I got another brush from Luxie this month, but this time it was the <a href="http://www.luxiebeauty.com/luxie-rose-gold-flat-definer-brush-221/" target="_blank">221 Flat Definer</a>. Like all their other brushes I've tried, the bristles are super soft. I have high hopes for this in using it to smudge out the lower lash line.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Smashbox recently released their new <a href="http://www.sephora.com/photo-finish-primer-oil-P404235" target="_blank">Photo Finish Primer Oil</a>, and I got a sample of it in my bag this month. I'm pretty interested in this oil. Looking at the ingredients list I see a ton of different oils and extracts that went into this for added skin benefits, so the claim that it will reduce fine lines and help skin retain more moisture after 4 weeks of use is definitely believable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My last product of the month is a bonus item. I redeemed 1000 points for the <a href="http://shop.purlisse.com/products/pur-moist" target="_blank">Pur~Lisse Pur~Moist Hydra Balance Moisturizer</a>. I'd gotten a sample of this from one of subscriptions in the past, and I really like Pur~Lisse products in general. </div>

Since I got back into skincare, Korean skincare has been at the forefront of my mind when it comes to what's best and the most innovative. I was looking at the Memebox app recently and saw that the <a href="https://us.memebox.com/shara-shara-box" target="_blank">Shara Shara Box</a> was back in stock. I flipped out! I've been wanting to try one of their All-in-One Ampoules since I first heard of them. I wanted to purchase this box the first time it was on the site, but just didn't have the funds then. I immediately added it to my cart since it came with either the <a href="https://us.memebox.com/honey-bomb-all-in-one-ampoule?pdref=category" target="_blank">Honey Bomb</a> or <a href="https://us.memebox.com/berry-bomb-all-in-one-ampoule" target="_blank">Berry Bomb</a> Ampoules and proceeded to see if there was anything else on the site that caught my eye. The purchase price on this box was 32$. All these together retail for a total of 80$! Just the price of the Ampoule covered the cost of the box. </div>

Let me tell you about this stuff. I ended up getting the Honey Bomb All-in-One Ampoule. I wanted the Berry. Oh well. Anyway, this is supposed to combine the benefits of a toner, serum, and moisturizer. If you don't like having a really extensive skincare routine like I do, or you just happen to be running late one day, this could shorten your routine by a lot. </div>

If you wanted sole purpose moisturizer, this box has the <a href="https://us.memebox.com/water-girls-ice-cream" target="_blank">Water Girl's Ice Cream</a>, which is a gel/cream formula for rapid absorbtion. I feel like this would be great for me in the warmer months when my skin doesn't need as much moisture or as heavy a moisturizer as I would use in the winter. The packaging is way too cute! Just look at that polar bear!</div>

A newly added item is the <a href="http://en.koreadepart.com/item/1386054126/shara-shara-vita-aura-level-up-mist" target="_blank">Vita Aura Level Up Mist</a>. The original Shara Shara Box didn't include this product. This great smelling mist has two phases, so be sure to shake it before each use. It's supposed to be applied like a makeup primer, but it has added skin benefits from its various plant and fruit extracts. </div>

The last included product was the <a href="https://us.memebox.com/black-source-eye-sunglass" target="_blank">Black Source Eye Sunglass</a>. This little guy is an eye mask that's supposed to help add hydration, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and brighten the eye area. It's a one time use mask, but it's really cute. </div>

Memebox is great about including extras in each order. I've never tried any products from Tosowoong, so I'm excited to see how their sheet masks stack up. </div>

Aside from the box, my mom wanted a few things. She's wanted to try our a foot peel for the longest time, so I had her look at the couple that were on memebox.com. She ended up choosing <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kocostar-Foot-Therapy/dp/B00KVTZBHC" target="_blank">Kocostar Foot Therapy</a>. And I got one for myself. So far, this is the only thing from this haul that I've tried out. So far so good! Be on the look out for a full review of this. </div>

The last item in this haul is actually hair care and also my mom's. She was running out of her current hair growth oil and wanted to try something new. In the "New" section I found the <a href="http://www.roseroseshop.com/lador-scalp-helper-hair-tonic-120ml.html" target="_blank">La'dor Scalp Helper Hair Tonic</a>. It has so many great ingredients in it to promote a healthy scalp and hair growth. </div>

I don't normally do food reviews on my blog, but I had to talk about these new Ready Meals from Pace and Prego. Just a bit of background info before we start: I'm a BzzAgent. That means I sometimes get chosen to review product for free. That's the case with these Ready Meals. If you'd like to sign up to review everything from pasta and juice to razors and mascara, <a href="http://www.bzzagent.com/" target="_blank">BzzAgent</a> is free to sign up. </div>

Prego and Pace are owned by the same parent company, so it makes sense that both would have a Ready Meals line. The Prego Ready Meals are more Italian style, whereas the Pace version is more TexMex. When I was selected for this BzzCampaign, I was given the choice between 3 Prego meals, 3 Pace meals, or 2 different combinations of both. I chose the option with 2 Prego Ready Meals and 1 Pace. I knew I needed to try one from each, but my heart already knew that when I purchased these myself, it would only be Prego.</div>

Just to get it out of the way, I want to start with the singular Pace Ready Meal of the bunch. I ended up with the flavor Cheesy Chicken Quesadilla. I was surprised with how much I liked this one. I thought it would be my least favorite. The rice was cooked well, and the sausage wasn't rubbery. I really enjoyed this. The good thing is that this particular meal only has 290 calories, but it will definitely fill you up.</div>

Marinara & Italian Sausage Rotini was the only Ready Meal I didn't eat. It just didn't appeal to me as far as looks and ingredients go. I'm sure if I wasn't pregnant, I would have eaten it, but the baby said that didn't look good, so I didn't eat it lol. I gave it to my mom to take with her to work. This one has 390 calories, which is still great for a single serving meal for those on a low cal diet. </div>

My very favorite of the bunch was the Creamy Three Cheese Alfredo Rotini. You had me at cream sauce. I just couldn't help myself. This was the very first one I ate, and then I immediately regretted it. I wanted another. There was more than enough sauce, which is amazing since I feel like most microwavable meals sacrifice on sauce to save calories. This badboy had a ton of sauce for only 390 calories. Take notes, other companies!</div>

You can find Prego and Pace Ready Meals at your local Walmart and Target stores. Pros of this product are the short prep time, flavor variety, and low calorie count. Cons: it doesn't come with a fork. #FirstWorldProblems</div>

I love Maybelline! Maybelline has been one of my very favorite drugstore brands since I got into makeup about 4.5 years ago. They make my very favorite lipstick formula (ColorSensational), and most of my drugstore foundations are from Maynelline, as well. In fact, the very first liquid foundation I ever tried was the original Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. Since then, I've purchased so many of their foundations, including both the Dream Fresh and Dream Pure BB Creams, Fit Me Matte & Poreless, Instant Age Rewind, Dream Matte Mousse, and Dream Liquid Mousse. So when the new Dream Matte Velvet Foundation dropped, I bought it within days of it's release. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This foundation comes in a squeeze tube that contains 1.0 oz of product, which is standard size for a foundation. There are 12 shades in the range, but only 2 that are suited for darker skin. I have the second deepest shade, 92 Caramel. I found that the color match was slightly off. It was a bit more olive than yellow toned, but once it set and after highlighting and bronzing, it wasn't even noticeable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can buy this product in stores at your local CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart, Ulta, etc, or online at places like drugstore.com. I, personally found mine a few weeks ago on the very first end cap at my local Walmart. Pricing ranges from 9.89 - 10.99$ USD. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has light-medium buildable coverage. I usually go for foundations with this type of coverage because I don't have a lot of imperfections to cover, but this one I have to use at least 2 layers to get the desired effect. In the photos, I show you the difference between each consecutive application, as well as my bare face. I applied 2. I generally only apply makeup if I'm going to work or "wearing real clothes" (ie not sweats or jammies). On this day, I was just out and about. I wore the foundation for 4-5 hours before removing it. I have yet to find a foundation that doesn't let my oils come through, but this one does break up around my nose which is the oiliest part of my face. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZPIBXnZXSsQbaycrSBMCDxUKhRGYToLbkFaxcgB-6lixuqDoXvZFYMl_rg-REwf4LorhPJAL-U22AFvIKASDe7BlsMeoHQSWgsvkm1qhvl29yn1omXa-q9tOhGuZKAMz_wUBL14av47k/s1600/IMG_1186.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZPIBXnZXSsQbaycrSBMCDxUKhRGYToLbkFaxcgB-6lixuqDoXvZFYMl_rg-REwf4LorhPJAL-U22AFvIKASDe7BlsMeoHQSWgsvkm1qhvl29yn1omXa-q9tOhGuZKAMz_wUBL14av47k/s400/IMG_1186.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, I would give this foundation a 7/10. The price is great, the coverage is good for my needs, but with the undertones being slightly off and the fact that it doesn't hold up to my oils when my skin is at its driest is what kept it from being closer to a 10. I would recommend this for people who have dry to normal skin and want to try a matte foundation. If you have combination skin, this could also work for you, but people with very oily skin should probably stay away unless you usually touch up your foundation through out the day. </div>
