Burt's Bees Masks

If there is anything I love more than lip balm and nail care than it has to be a good face mask. I have been doing a face mask everyday since forever because they are great for my skin and very relaxing and the latest love of mine are those from Burt's Bees. They have an amazing Detoxifying Clay mask and a wide variety of single use sheet masks. Todays review I will dive into the Burt's Bees Detoxifying Clay Mask so please read on.

The Burt's Bees Detoxifying Clay Mask is just what my oily acne prone skin needs. This mask is in my opinion so much better than most out there that have left my skin in pain after using. This one is gentle yet effect at lifting away impurities with charcoal. while still nourishing my skin and being 99% natural. It removes dirt, oil and toxins which makes this oily skin girl really happy. I would apply this evenly all over my face wait about 15 minutes for it to dry and it dries down in that time period no waiting around forever. I decided to remove it with a reusable makeup cloth and warm water and it comes right off very easily no tugging or scrubbing. When I was done and dried my face I looked in the mirror and I immediately noticed my pores were shrunk which made me happy. My face was soft and didn't feel or look oily and I have a nice even complexion. I was also happy that my skin was left looking and feeling matte. I am beginning to use this mask more in the morning before makeup application because of the mattifying effect makes it so nice and easy to apply my makeup. This is a 5 $$$$$ mask from Burt's Bees and gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

The other mask available are sheet masks. There are several ones and the ones I have are Burt's Bees Hydrating Sheet Mask with Watermelon, With Clary Sage and a Renewing Biocellulose gel mask with Rose and Algae Extract. I love all three of these for different reasons and the one I reached for first was the Watermelon because it was hydrating and that is what my skin needed after being in the sun for most of that day. This was a quick 5 minute mask that was both hydrating and cooling. I went on to try out the renewing biocellulose gel mask which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles which was another very comfortable mask to wear for only 10 minutes. My face felts soft and smooth after using this mask and finally on another evening I used the hydrating with Clary sage mask on a day my skin was feeling extremely dry which is at least once a week and for me that's a big thing because my skin is always oily. This gave my skin just the right balance of hydration and moisturizer without making my skin greasy. I love the Burt's Bees sheet masks, and with that they get 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Afterspa- Body Care

Hello to all of my Beauty Bag Dolls! As I mentioned in my post of the Afterspa face care I would have another in depth review of their awesome body care products and they are truly amazing. I will be review the Afterspa Exfoliating Wash Cloth, Hair Towel and Detox Massage Brush. I am in love with all three of these products and to learn more read on. If you missed my review of the Afterspa Face Care products click here to read that.
The body care products you need in your shower right now come from Afterspa!

The Afterspa Exfoliating Wash Cloth is something everyone needs in their shower. You will reach for this every time because it glides over your back easily and help you get your back nice and exfoliated with ease.  This stretches' right over and glides across your back with your favorite body wash going to work to reveal a soft and exfoliated back. I absolute adore this and it just hangs up to dry after rinsing with water. The next awesome product is what I use on my hair after getting out of the shower. The Afterspa Hair Towel is absolute perfection and the best hand free lightweight drying hair towel you will have on your head. Others are cumbersome and heavy while the Afterspa Hair Towel is truly light weight. I can put on right out of the shower and go on with apply body butter and dressing without it ever falling off my head or feeling like its there. The towel itself is also so soft and super absorbent I can keep it up and out of my way for as long as my hair needs. My hair is long and it all fits inside the towel. I keep in around 30 minutes before beginning to dry and style and since starting to use the Afterspa Hair Towel my hair has been less frizzy and I have cut back on heat drying significantly. Finally, I am excited to share with you the Afterspa Detox Massage Brush. This is something I did not know I needed until I tried it. This is a great product that not only helps exfoliate intensely but it helps to improve blood flow and eliminate toxins. I love to this about twice a week because for me it truly makes me feel like I was at the spa! The brush design Afterspa did is great because it even has a fasten grip to help you get your body scrubbed properly in a circular motions. All three of the Afterspa products are Beauty Bag Must haves that get a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Burt's Bees Lip Care

Beauty Bag Dolls I am so happy to bring to you a review from one of my favorite brands Burt's Bees. This brand has some of the best lip balm on the market that you can buy anywhere. I have four flavors which include Vanilla Beam, Pomegranate, Cucumber Mint and Pumpkin Spice. Read on to learn more.
Burt's Bees Lip Balms are the only ones you need in your beauty bag for healthy hydrated lips. Part two review coming soon on Burt's Bees Masks. 

All four Burt's Bees Lip Balms are amazing and you cannot pick a bad flavor. It all honest that is the only decision you need to make. The Burt's Bees lip balms are natural and good for you. I apply lip balm all the time however I find myself not needed to apply this multiple times a day like with other lip balms that seem to wear off in minutes and there you are reaching for them again. I can apply the Burt's Bees lip balm in the morning before lipstick and my lips feel hydrated and protected but not sticky or tacky. Then I don't need any lip balm until after lunch time and then maybe around four hours after that and then again before bed. If your keeping count I only need to apply the Burt's Bee lip balm four times a day compared to countless number of times with other balms. I absolutely adore the Burt's Bees lip balm it is hands down my absolute favorite and a beauty bag must have that gets 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Afterspa-Face Care

I am so happy and just buzzing with joy to share with all of you some amazing products from a brand named Afterspa. The product I have for you today all focus on face care and I will have another review for you in the coming days focusing on their amazing body care products. However right now I will review for you the Afterspa Charcoal Konjac Sponge, Facial Scrubber, Amazing Makeup Remover and Mini Jade Facial Roller. Each of these Afterspa products have played an important roll in my AM and PM skincare routine for the better do read on to learn more about my newest beauty bag must haves.
You need to checkout Afterspa face care products asap because they are the beauty bag must haves I cannot live without! 

The Afterspa Charcoal Konjac Sponge is how I start my day. I grab my favorite cleanser wet the Apfterspa Charcoal Konjac Sponge and just massage it over my face. The Charcoal Konjac Sponge does and amazing job at cleansing my skin and detoxifying it. For me it invigorates my skin and gets it ready for the day ahead and prepped for my makeup application. When I am done I rinse it clean to get the suds off of it and let it air dry. Do remember to replace your Konjac every 60 days as recommended by Afterspa. After I use the Charcoal Konjac Sponge and dry my face I love to apply my serums, moisturizers and treatments but right before SPF and makeup I now grab the Afterspa Mini Jade Facial Roller to use around my eye area. this little guy is perfection because it fits right into my under eye area and glides around the eye area perfectly and delicately to depuff. I adore it and my favorite place to keep it is in the fridge for extra cooling and depuffing each morning. Keep in mind the Afterspa Mini Jade Facial Roller is the perfect size to pack and take with you on your summer travels as well. I just adore these two products so much and now you must read on to learn about my PM Afterspa face care routine.

Now as far as my PM skincare routine that has changed for the absolute better. I used to come home and grab makeup wipes and cleanser to get off all of the water proof long wear makeup off but now with the Afterspa Amazing Makeup Remover which is this cute pink towel or so you think it is. The instructions on this is to wash in the washing machine before its first use and then after that you can reuse it and wash it over and over again. It will wipe away all makeup with just water. Yes just water! this was just amazing. I would come home after a long day run this pink cloth under warm water and just rub it over my face and in just seconds everything was gone from mascara to foundation my face was clean and the makeup was on the Afterspa Amazing Makeup Remover. That night I would toss it in the washing machine and it would be ready for the next evening to cleanse my face with it. I just could not get over at how amazing it is at taking off all my makeup yet so gentle my skin never felt dry or stripped like with harsh makeup wipes and cleansers. Next I would use the Afterspa Facial Scrubber. This is something I reach for around 2 or 3 times a week in the evening to really exfoliate my face and neck. I would wet my skin and the Afterspa Facial Scrubber use my favorite cleanser and just massage this around my face and neck to get a good exfoliation. This not harsh and you control the pressure and how long you do this for so you know your skin's sensitivity level. For me this is the most gentle exfoliation I have experienced since I am in full control and I love it.

All of the face care product from Afterspa have made such a huge difference in my skin care routine and I love it. Afterspa face care products are a 5 $$$$$ and I mean the value is incredible for the quality of product you get. Afterspa gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA for sure.

Sweet Lavender Morning Lip Scrub

Its always a nice day when you come home from a long day and a package is sitting in your mailbox from Sweet Lavender Morning. When I opened the box I was so excited to see that 3 awesome lip scrubs were inside. The flavors were awesome too. Included was Lavender and Vanilla, Sparkling Mint Mojito and Cherry Almond. I first introduce you to Sweet Lavender Morning with a review of their amazing Body Scrubs and Body Butters and if you would like to read my full review of those you can find it here. To purchase click here and to learn more read on.
I am in love with Sweet Lavender Morning Lip Scrubs and will never be without them. 

The decision I face after opening the box was which flavor to try and it was one I thought about for a few seconds and then was like it has to be the Sweet Lavender Morning Lavender and Vanilla. The ingredient deck for all three flavors is Cane Sugar, Organic Coconut Oil and Fragrance Oil which makes me so happy because it is so pure and so simple. I just took a scope and massaged it on my lips for around 30 to 45 seconds and wiped it away with a tissue. My lips felts so soft, smooth and hydrated after. I am so happy with the results. It was so nice to do a lip scrub on my lips and get all of the lip gloss and lipstick build up so to speak off my lips. So I am now scrubbing my lips each day I personally like to alternate AM and PM depending on how much lipstick or lip gloss I will be using that day. In all honesty sometimes its great to take the minute in the AM to scrub your lips because a matte lipstick goes on nice and smooth after using the Sweet Lavender Morning Lip Scrub and sometimes you want to exfoliate everything off your lips in the PM. It all just depends on your preferences. A lip care routine is very important and the Sweet Lavender Morning Lip Scrub is the perfect place to star. For me the Sweet Lavender Morning Lip Scrubs are an absolute beauty bag must have that get 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

The day The Naked Beauty Box June 2020 arrived I knew I was in love because I knew each product included was something I actually could use and did use within two days of its arrival. As I mentioned I was so happy to see this in my mailbox when it arrived and I needed a nice little pick me up spa day so I gravitated toward the Soon Skin Biocellulose Mask and after cleansing my skin I applied this sheet mask and just relaxed for 20 minutes while this went to work with the vitamins A, C and E along with antioxidant rich co-enxymeQ10. My skin felt soft and firm and after removing the sheet mask I let my skin absorb all the serum which took about two minutes and then I was excited to try another product which was the Orglamix Glow Oil. I opened this bottle up and immediately noticed the amazing smell. It was just citrus heaven and when I applied it my skin loved it as much as my sense of smell. I only needed about 3 drops and it was enough for my face and neck. It absorbed very quickly in just seconds and my skin really drank it in. I have been using this each morning since my skin is fairly dry when I wake up and this adds the right amount of hydration that I need. If you would like to grab your box with an additional 10% off with coupon code: Anna10 and a FREE Sara Happ Lip Scrub with your first box.  Shop The Naked Beauty Box here to purchase yours.

Now my next favorite product has become what I use each night after finishing my skincare routine I like to mist the Niu Body Awake Rose Toning Mist. This really smells like a flower garden full of roses. It feels really nice on my skin and didn't sting or burn like others mists I have tried in the past. So far I am going to be repurchasing all three of the products I have received in The Naked Beauty Box June 2020. Now on my day two of testing out my products I was so happy to have received the Spa Savvy Eye Brow Razors. Now I love to keep my brows looking on point and this really was nice to have it helped shape my browns and get rid of some unwanted hair on my face. It was easy to use and painless the product I love to follow up with was the Blushbalm Bermuda Oil. Now this smells fresh and so nice. I applied onto my eyebrows and around the area where I use the Spa Savvy Brow Razor and I used this on the spots on my face I got rid of some unwanted facial hair. The Blushbalm Bermuda Oil is to prevent ingrown hairs and to sooth any redness. Its great for your bikini line as well. Everything included in The Naked Beauty Box for June 2020 is truly made for summer and I thank Kayt for sending me this 5 $$$$$ subscription box.

I also want to remind you that with your first subscription you will receive 10% off with coupon code Anna10 and you will get a FREE Sara Happ Lip Scrub with your first purchase. The Sara Happ Lip Scrub is a $24 value and yours free with your first subscription box purchase. I love the lip scrub from Sara Happ it is Pumpkin Spice Latte flavor and to me it reminds me of that first pumpkin spice latte you buy yourself in October or when you slice into your pumpkin pie. The Lip Scrub itself is very effective and gentle at scrubbing away the dead skin that does live on your lips. I love using it every morning so I get an nice even lipstick or lip gloss application. Hey it even helps your lip balm do its job because your lips are free of the nasties holding them back. Remember you have a skincare routine why not have a lip care routine as well. This is a great free gift with purchase of The Naked Beauty Box and you have to grab yours while its still available.
