PUR ON POINT MASCARA with Hemp

 The best mascara arrived at my home last week and I must give BzzAgent credit for sending it over in exchange for honest review. I leave my review for them and I will attach that review below. However in the review I don't get into the details about the great ingredients that are in the PUR On Point Mascara with Hemp. I will give you the details on the important points about this mascara and then leave you the review I left for BzzAgent. Also this costs $22.00 on the PUR website as well as Ulta Beauty. For me this is an affordable mascara and I love it. Not to mention it is cruelty free, vegan, gluten free, hemp derived and has biotin. For me that is all just awesome!

My newest beauty bag must have! This mascara is on point! 


Description of PUR On Point Mascara with Hemp from the brand:

 Separate, lengthen and thicken the appearance of your lashes with this cruelty-free 4-in-1 Mascara with Hemp. A high volume, hemp-infused mascara that adds drama to the look of lashes, it’s truly On Point! Formulated with nourishing, hemp-derived Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil and Biotin for stronger, healthier-looking lashes that wow, this reach-for-the-sky mascara features intense black pigment that leaves a lasting impression. It’s lash-loving formula also helps protect against environmental stressors, such as pollution.


Review I left for BzzAgent:

I am officially on point with my eye lashes. I have used the PUR On Point Mascara with Hemp every single day since it arrived and I love it. I look for a mascara that has volume and lift to my lashes, this one does all that and more including length! The intense pigment was perfection and never flaked off even after a 14 hour day. My lashes felt soft to the touch never crunchy and I got the impact I look for in my eye lashes when I use mascara. This mascara after removal left my lashes feeling soft and I never lost any which is an absolute joy! I am giving this a 5 star although the wand is a bit bulky and I prefer a thin one I go to used to it after 2 days. This mascara is a beauty bag must have!

Face Halo

Today is my favorite day because I get to introduce to you an amazing product called Face Halo. The Face Halo is the modern makeup remover and it the original white. Many brands have copied these non toxic, reusable and recyclable makeup removing rounds but these are truly the original and hands down the best! Face Halo has the original, the pro and a body version today I will review the original. Some more background information is that they come in a pack of three each reusable and washable up to 200 times (yes which save our environment from the disposable makeup wipes you use once sometimes need 2 or even 3 to get all of the makeup off). These are also only used with water. So you wet them and just wipe away your makeup without any added cleansers. Now for my experience read on or shop Face Halo to purchase yours and begin your journey to healthier skin with less environmental waste.
The Face Halo  is the modern makeup remover and works like magic! I love and adore it so much!

I am so excited to be bringing to you a review of the amazing Face Halo makeup remover rounds. These are 100% amazing and so soft and gentle at taking off all of your water proof makeup from foundation to mascara and everything in between doesn't stand a chance. All you add is water and massage this gentle pad over your entire face to remove all of your makeup. They are then tossed into the washing machine and used over and over again saving you on purchasing the wasteful makeup wipes that you later toss into the trash. These can be used countless times and you are using Face Halo which is non toxic reusable and recyclable as well as being cruelty free and vegan. These are the BEST reusable makeup removing pads I have ever tried. They are gentle and require no tugging or pulling at your face or delicate eye area. They take off all eye shadow and eyeliner without ever needing to rub over your eyes a bunch of times and your not using any added cleansers only water, They are amazing! A beauty bag must have! I am giving them a 5 $$$$$ and they get EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA without a doubt!

PUR Eye Polish

I have an exciting review for you today about PUR Cosmetics Eye Polish. These are amazing eye type shadows that PUR as made so much better. It takes eye shadow to the next level because this is the PUR Eye Polish which is a an Eye Base + Top Coat with Silicone Application Tool. Now to learn more about this read on.
PUR Eye Polish is a beauty bag must since it is your eye base and top coat all in one! 


PUR Cosmetics describes the Eye Polish as an "eye primer and top coat pigment creates a crease-proof eye shadow base with a luminous metallic sheen. The eye-opening formula glides on with pro precision and builds with exceptional ease with the use of the enclosed latex-free silicone applicator. Use alone as an iridescent cream shadow, under eye shadows for visibly more vibrant color or over eye shadow as a top coat to amplify color and add dimension to your eye look." This is a statement I completely agree with. Once you apply anyone of the beautiful shades they are not buding until you remove them and if you have oily or hooded eye lids this does not crease. If you decided to use this with other eyeshadow to layer it does not affect the integrity of the PUR Eye Polish. The shades I have are Cashmere, Velvet, Satin and Caviar. I always tended to reach to use two shades at once always reaching for Caviar as my eye liner shade but do note you should grab an eye liner brush to do so the silicone applicator included with each one of these is more to use when applying all over the eye lid. The Eye Polish come through a mesh so just note that you should tap the jar with the lid on a few times to make sure the liquid come through for you and it dries down after just 15 seconds or so. The shades are pure and very pigmented a little goes a long way. They truly add a sparkle to your look and for me they are great all year round but right now with holiday parties happening I am going with these for that extra sparkle and long wear without creasing or smudging! I also want to suggest you drop these into any person stocking this holiday season who love PUR cosmetics. These PUR Eye Polish's are Beauty Bag Must haves that get a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Shop Pur Cosmetics to purchase.

Soaptopia Spa-Licious Spa

I just cannot get over how wonderful the Soaptopia Spa-licious Spa in a Box is. It is being offered on the Soaptopia website as a gift set for Valentines Day. Now I will get into everything that is packaged in this wonderful gift but I must say shipping is quick and it is packaged so beautifully that it has to be mentioned. This is something that is sent to you ready to give right out of the packaging. (which makes this so easy to give as a gift you don't have to think about wrapping) Its a wow factor! Visit Soaptopia now to learn more and purchase.
These beautiful Soaptopia beauty musts at tucked inside a box that is Valentines Day ready to gift!  

When I opened this box of Soaptopia goodness I was amazing and I didn't know where I wanted to start. Everything looked so good. There were 4 Artisan Bar Soaps, 1 Large 16 oz Alotta Bubbles Bubble Bath, 1 Radiant Tone Skin Spritzer and 1 Heart-Shaped Pumice Stone. The four bars of Artisan soap each smelled wonderful from Rozilla vs. Dryskinea which as Rose Geranium and Vanilla to the Red Hot Lover which had Cinnamon and Clove. Then there was Chocolate Makes Me Thorny which you guessed it has Coco, Rose Geranium and Vanilla to Orange you glad, Honey. Where does a girl start?! I tested each of these and I thought each one could be better than the other. The scents are out of this world amazing but each and everyone of them are my favorite. My skin felt clean and moisturized and never had that tight over cleaned and dried out feeling! I am a girl who love a bubble bath and I try to relax in one a few times a week so having the Soaptopia alotta bubbles Bubble Bath in the Rose Geranium Citrus & Jasmin scent was just what I needed in my life and now I know it was missing! Of course it smells like citrus heaven which I love but it really helps moisturize your skin which right now is something I need desperately because winter has really set in.
This is how it comes packaged! Amazingly perfect and ready to give or keep for yourself of course! Thanks Soaptopia for making this so easy and beautiful!

While in the bath I grabbed the heart shaped pumice stone and went to work on the rough areas of my skin. This Soaptopia Spa-licious Spa in a box is doing wonders for my skin and its not over yet the last product is the Radiant Tone Hydrosol Mist in Orange Blossom. This was very refreshing to apply from head to toe after a shower or relaxing bubble bath. It smells amazing and really brightens a sluggish morning if you are having a little trouble getting motivated. Soaptopia has it all when looking for a spa feel at home that is luxurious and good for your skin. I also have to note that ALL of Soptopieas prodxucts are cruelty free and certified by the Leaping Bunny and PETA. They are also made with fresh ingredients and are 100% JUNK FREE which means no chemials and no petroleum with most of their product being vegan. I am so happy and honored to be able to feature such a great company with such AWESOME products that have really helped my skin for the better.
