Drunk Elephant The Littles

Beauty Bag Dolls I have a review for you from one of my favorite brands Drunk Elephant. Let me tell you their skincare has done wonders for my skin and I will not go back to anything with the suspicious 6 ingredients in them now a little background information if you are new to Drunk Elephant skincare is that this brand has removed what they call the "suspicious six" from their ingredient deck which includes Essential Oils, Drying Alcohols, Silicones, Chemical Screens, Fragrance/Dyes and SLS. What I am reviewing today is the Drunk Elephant The Littles. This are absolutely the perfect size for you travel with, try Drunk Elephant out for the first time with or gift to a college kid who has minimal space in their dorm room but want to keep a skincare routine that works. Please do read on to learn more about this packed travel bag of Drunk Elephant's The Littles.

If your looking for a new skincare routine or packing for a vacation Drunk Elephant The Littles has everything you need! These are a beauty bag must have!

Every great skincare routine does start with a great cleanser and Drunk Elephant The Littles included  the Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser is amazing. It dissolved on my makeup and didn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry just soft and clean. I used this each night and followed up with the T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum directly on my face and pressed it in. This did tingle a little bit the first 3 nights I applied and never tingled after that. It sank into my skin nicely and I waited about a minute before applying my For me a multivitamin eye cream is a dream. I always want to apply something at night that will help my eye area brighten up my dark circles and keep the area firm. The Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream is described as a "rich and restorative, featuring a brightening combination of eight peptides, five forms of vitamin C and cucumber extract for firmer, stronger-looking skin around the eye area." Now don't be intimidated by the word rich (if your like me with oily eyelids the word rich is scary) because it is so fast absorbing that you will apply it and it will quickly sink in.  Each night and day I topped off the serum step by taking a scooped of the The Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream truly helps, it absorbs quickly which is great in the AM when you apply makeup after and in the evening when I like to combine it with the B-Hydra Intensive Serum and or I would mix in Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil because I need extra hydration. In the mornings I topped that with the Umbra Tinte Daily Defense SPF 30.  In the AM I omitted the T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum and instead used it with one pump of the C-Firma Day Serum and one pump of the B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum. Everyone needs to adjust what they use when for their own skin type and your personal routine, this is just mine and my results were jaw dropping. I want to also note inside the cute blue travel bag is instructions to guide you to your perfect Drunk Elephant Skincare routine!

I want to also mention that since beginning to use the Drunk Elephant brand in January of this year  I didn't have any acne breakouts and in fact they had healed up and my skin was balanced for the first time in a very long time! The Drunk Elephant line has even healed up some old acne marks I had that I thought would never go away! I honestly have not use to many other brands since starting Drunk Elephant  I credit getting rid of the suspicious 6 really calmed my skin and made it healthy and glowing! I am beyond thrilled!

The Drunk Elephant The Littles are a beauty bag must (included in this set is a cute travel bag to pack your littles in it) that I will not be without. They are the perfect size to take with you so you are never without them they are a 5 $$$$$ and they get EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

primera Clean Berry Lip Balm

I am such a lip balm and tinted lip balm lover that when I saw the primera Clean Berry Lip Balm in the pink shade I flipped because pink is my number one shade of lip balm, lip stick and lip gloss that I wear 70% of the time!  I also was so happy that this is a clean at Sephora brand which means it is formulated without a list of over 50 ingredients, including sulfates (SLS and SLES), parabens, phthalates, and more. The primera brand is one of my new favorites since trying their Mild Facial Peeling Gel which you can read that review here. Read on to learn more about my new favorite Primera Clean Berry Lip Balm.

The Primera Clean Berry Lip Balm in pink pictured on the right is everything! I just love the long lasting hydration and beautiful color! A Beauty Bag Must Have!

Primera describes the Clean Berry Lip Balm as a "hydrating, velvety balm with nourishing seaberry and botanical waxes softens and smooths dry lips; while imparting a veil of sheer pink shine." My lips love this lip balm. The are soft and supple for hours while wearing it and for hours after it wear off. The color is pink perfection for my skin tone. Not over powering or competing with my makeup or if I wear no makeup it have just this beautiful hint of pink on my lips. The moisturizing factor in this balm is perfect not too tacky just right. I cannot get over how amazing this lip balm is. Primera knocked it out of the park with this but I haven't tried a terrible product from the brand. I know my collection will be growing and I want this balm in other shades as well as just a clear shade because it is just that good! I also want to note that this lip balm has a scent to that is just so yummy and the best way for me to describe it is that it is a citrus scent like a lemon. The primera Clean Berry Lip Balm is a 5 $$$$$ and I need at least 4 of these around me so it also gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

primera Mild Facial Peeling Gel

Beauty Bag Dolls let me start by reacting to the primera Mild Facial Peeling Gel this way "Oh My Gosh!" Yes this gave me an Oh My Gosh moment and honestly each time I use it I am so impressed and beyond happy! Primera made its debut on Sephora.com last months and I was so happy to get my hands on it. I used it the same day it arrived and it was a Wednesday which is the day of the week I really love to exfoliate my face since I like to do light to mild exfoliation on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and my deep exfoliation on Sunday. My love for Primera is serious right now. Read on to learn more.

The primera Mild Facial Peeling Gel (pictured on left) is game changing and a must have in your skincare routine. Coming soon review of primera lip balm. 

Some background information about the primera Mild Facial Peeling Gel is first it is clean at Sephora which means it is "formulated without a list of over 50 ingredients, including sulfates (SLS and SLES), parabens, phthalates, and more." The Primera Mild Facial Peeling Gel is a "pH-balancing, no-rinse formula that gently removes makeup and impurities."  It also is a gel formula that "improves texture by gently exfoliating dry, dull surface cells and polishing skin, leaving it feeling soft, silky, and hydrated. Formulated with innovative, double-absorption system that lifts impurities from pores while sweeping away surface buildup; and s protective bio polymer film forms an invisible shield to help protect against environmental factors." Now I love this. After cleansing my face of all my makeup and patting it dry I pump this on to my hands and just begin to massage it on. After a about 15 seconds you will get this little sloughing off of dead skin cells (kind gross, I know but very effective). I continued to just massage my entire face for about a minute and then I choose to rinse my skin with luke warm water. After I dried my face was the Oh My Gosh WOW moment! My face was so silky, buttery soft I could not believe it! The other point I have to mention is that for this being named a Mild Facial Peeling Gel I was a little nervous since I have sensitive skin but I had absolutely no irritation or even redness just a little pink for a couple of minutes which happens to me when I cleanse my face. My skin was left exfoliated and so smooth and ready for skincare to truly be absorbed. The scent is very light and is not bother. This gives you true exfoliation that you can see rolling off your face and is so gentle that I do use this at first 3x's a week but then my skin got extremely healthy that no skin cells were rolling off one of the days of the week so I now use it, on Tuesdays and Thursdays to space it out and give my skin a chance to actually need an exfoliation. This is so gentle that you can use it according to Primera 2 to 3 times a week it is all about what works for you. For me twice a week works best after using it 3 times a week for 2 weeks. I absolutely adore this primera Mild Facial Peeling Gel and will never be without it so I will be stocking up during the Sephora Rouge sale. This is a 5 $$$$$ and gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Kiss Materpiece One of a Kind Luxe Mani

Hello to all of my Beauty Bag Dolls! I am super excited today to be bringing you a review of a brand that is one of my favorite in the nail game Kiss. Today I will review for you a style from them at is so luxe and beautiful I will be clearing out the local stores of the different styles from the Kiss Materpiece One of a Kind Luxe Mani collection because these have impressed me above and beyond. Read on to learn more about Kiss.

My favorite brand Kiss has truly made the nail game just breathtaking! These nails are gorgeous and I applied that at home in 6 minutes! These are a beauty bag must have!

I am someone who has been preoccupied about my nails since well forever! I will buy and try anything that has to do with making my natural nails look better or when I am short on time and have somewhere important to be and can’t get a manicure I have found the answer to that problem! The same day that these arrived on my doorstep decided to give myself a manicure that would look great for the whole work week and beyond even while at the beach. The Kiss Materpiece One of a Kind Luxe Mani was the first that I decided out of the box and in less then 6 minutes I had these BEAUTIFUL nails that looked like a Manicure you would pay upward of a lot of money for at a nail salon! They were quick and simple to apply and last for up to a week in fact this is day 9 as I type this and post it and they are still going strong even after a few day at the beach.  There are 30 nail covers and 12 accent nails along with nail glue included.! This was a perfect manicure and I had BEAUTIFUL nails that were cut in the fashionable Stiletto cut. If you have ben reading my nails blogs over the years I was in love with square cut for years which Kiss does make but now I love Stiletto, Coffin, Almond and of course square but I go with my mood lately and it just depends!

Winky Lux Lip Care

Beauty Bag Dolls I have review for you from a company I truly adore and love because their products work. The brand is Winky Lux and focus today is on their amazing lip care line. I am pretty picky when it comes to what I put on my lips because they are indeed sensitive and not many brands make the cut but I am so happy to report that the three product I tried from Winky Lux are just amazing. I am going to review for you their Winky Lux Sugar Matcha Lip Scrub, (a lip scrub is so important for you)  the Winky Lux Matcha Balm in blueberry (I am addicted to lip balm) and finally the Winky Lux Watermelon Jelly Transforming pH Balm (think of this as a kind of tinted lip balm but not because after you apply it the formula warms up and the shade of pink is your perfect pink). I know I gave you a brief description of each the Winky Lux products but do read on to learn more about my new favorites.

Winky Lux lip care products are my absolute favorite and beauty bag must have!

The Winky Lux Sugar Matcha Lip Scrub is the most gentle lip scrub I have ever used. Gentle enough for daily use however I use a lip scrub every other day which is just a personal preference. Winky Lux describes the Sugared Matcha lip scrub as  "a blend of sugar and green tea extract to exfoliate, moisturize, and recharge lips. Sweet and caffeinated." I personally love this scrub because it has just enough of the sugar granules where they are doing the job to exfoliate without being to rough on my lips (this does not leave my lips feeling raw and over exfoliated like others) The Sugar Matcha Lip Scrub does its job in under a minute and left my lips feeling soft and supple as well as smooth and ready for a lips balm.  

Next is my newest absolute must have lip balm. The Winky Lux Matcha Balm in Blueberry and this Matcha Balm is everything I never had in balm and more! Yes it smell so yummy and delicious like the Sugar Matcha Scrub and it is the best hydrator for your lips that you have every tried. It glides on easily and lasts for at least four hours before you need to reapply and when you apply before bed I never woke up needing to reapply my lip balm (which happens with others). The Winky Lux Matcha Balm is described as "nature's powerhouse, this ultra-refreshing vegan green tea extract, and coconut oil lip balm uses earth's freshest ingredients to repair and protect delicate skin." I have to agree my lips always feel so soft and moisturized with the Matcha Balm and the flavor is so good without being over powering. Do note their are many other flavors to choose from including a clear unflavored one. 

Finally, I am so excited to share with you my new favorite product! It is the Winky Lux Watermelon Jelly Transforming pH Balm. This is just a beautiful balm that leaves your lips with a perfect shade of color that is perfect for you. Winky Lux describes it as a "watermelon vegan lip balm that quenches dry lips and adjusts its shade to your body. With pH-reactive ingredients, our color-changing Watermelon Jelly balm slides on clear and leaves lips looking lusciously pink. Packed with the scent of your favorite, freshly-cut fruit." I love that the Winky Lux Watermelon Jelly is a beautiful shadeo f pink but I also love that it tastes yummy and leaves my lips feeling hydrated and soft at the same time. For me when I am going for a simple look this is the perfect lipcolor. 

All three of these Winky Lux lip care products are a 5 $$$$$ and get EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!
