This Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a beauty bag must have!

The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum is by far a superior serum. I say that with great excitement because most hyaluronic acid serums I have tried in the past were irritating but not the Neutrogena Hydro Boost. I felt nothing but they hydration aspect but I got results because of the hydration my skin looked so plump and so hydrated that it glowed from within. I saw results in just one week. It was fragrance free which is a welcomed change since most products have added scents they will give me a headache Neutrogena knocked it out of the park and made a Hyaluronic Acid Serum that works without irritation and I am adding this to my repurchase list.

I love this moisturizer from Aveeno it is a beauty bag must have!

This Aveeno Calm+Restore Oat Gel Moisturizer has been heaven sent. I have sensitive skin and this is the lightest weight moisturizer I have ever tried. It is calming which is what I need when my skin acts up. I can get so dry and put a moisturizer on and my skin will burn and hurt but not with this Aveeno Calm+Restore Gel Moisturizer. It sinks in quickly and relieves my dry skin without any irritation. Even on days when my skin is on the combo oily side this just gives it the right balance of hydration and sooths it. I have already researched a store near me to repurchase this when my jar is half empty.

That is my review and I am in love with this moisturizer. It truly is really good for my skin and light weight which is what I need even my my oily skin is feeling super dry. Remember to sign up for the Home Tester Club.

I love this amazing Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester CCC+ Ferulic Brightening Complex 20% Serum It has changed my skin from dull to glowing! Sign up here to receive your very own Influenster voxbox for free in exchange for an honest review just like I did. #contest

I am in love with the Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester CCC+ Ferulic Brightening Complex 20% Serum. In the two and half weeks that I have been using this serum my skin has completely changed. It is brighter and it has a glow to it that I noticed within just 3 days of use twice daily. After the past two weeks my skin has begun to truly improve, the lines and wrinkles around my eyes and on my forehead have completely softened and in all honesty around my my eyes my wrinkles are not even noticeable. I love the Original Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester but this one with the CCC Ferulic Brightening Complex 20% serum is even better because it goes to work so quickly with real results. My skin had no bad reaction and I am going to continue to use it and will be repurchasing. 

As I mentioned that is how my review appears on the Influenster and Sephora website. I wanted to also include in this blog post of mine a little background information. The Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester CCC+ Ferulic Brightening Complex 20% Serum is an ultra-potent, supercharged serum rich in anti-oxidants & formulated with our proprietary Vitamin C Ester & two additional forms of Vitamin C for our highest concentration of 20%. Works together with Vitamin E & ferulic acid to visibly brighten, smooth & minimize discoloration & dark spots over time. Designed with a powerful phospholipid delivery system to penetrate the deepest layer of skin's surface for maximum benefits. I also want to mention that this drops on Sephora.com on August 4 and I did see it on the Ulta website earlier than that because I am looking to repurchase this in the coming days so I do not run out. The price is $159.00 and it is a 2 ounce bottle.

I know I teased in the beginning of this review how I got this product for a company called Influenster to try the for free in exchange for my honest review. I signed a long time ago and from time to time you may get chosen to try out products in exchange for honest reviews and I was lucky enough to be chosen for the Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester CCC+ Ferulic Brightening Complex 20% Serum VoxBox.

After opening my The Naked Beauty Box Subscription- August 2020 I was super excited that, that evening I knew I could immediately open and use two of the products, First one I used was the Eleve Deulux eye makeup remover. This is described as light as water and it is truly light as water. I applied some to my reusable bamboo cotton round and I was wowed at how quickly and gently it removed all of my eye makeup without need to tug or rub over and over again. It broke down all of the makeup and left my skin feeling really soft and not dry or tight. After removing all my makeup I was so ready to try the BioMilk Instant Youth Glow Mask. I love a sheet mask I try to do a mask daily and this one was perfect for me because I applied it and kept it on for about 15 minutes it did truly hydrate my dry tiered skin. These two products are on my repurchase list. Purchase your  The Naked Beauty Box Subscription- August 2020 right now and use code:Anna25 at check out to save 255% on your first box.

I love saving a step in the morning with my skin and makeup routine. This to me serves as the best skincare a person an ask for. I pumped it out and if felt so light like a serum made for my oily skin type. I love a serum that I can apply and them move on with my routine and this one is just that. It let my makeup glide on easily and last all day. That night after coming home from a long day at work I removed my makeup with the Eleve Deuxlux makeup remover and them I was eager to try the AEnon's Charcoal Clay Mask. This spoke to my oily skin type and I applied it after following the directions and mixing it with a teaspoon of spring water. I applied for the 3-5 minutes recommended and rinsed it off and my T-Zone looked a revived and my pores had shrunk.  I am super in love with this mask and have already placed and order for more. After using this I used the Aloe Vera Essence Gel which is something my skin needs always especially at summer time when I am in the sun a lot. This is such an amazing product because it cooled and calmed my skin while adding hydration. I use this each night and I will repurchase when it is half empty. The Naked Beauty Box is a 5 $$$$$ and it gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

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!

All of the product in the box are something you want to try out immediately but the first thing I grabbed out of the box was the Sittie & Sage lip balm. I am a huge lip balm lover that is no secret and this one is great! It glides on smoothly to my lips and hydrates immediately didn't feel sticky or tacky. The ingredient deck was simple and you can pronounce everything which is always a great thing. The next product I used that very same day my The Naked Beauty Box arrived was the PopMask:Starry Eyes. This is an eye mask I really need to help me relax and calm down in the evening. It is so different compared to other traditional eye mask you may be used to like the little gel patches that go under your eyes. This one instead is a heated mask that goes over your entire eye area and truly helps calm you and relax you with the heat and not any fragrance which is me is awesome, I love that it is fragrance free. You wear it until it is no longer warm. I truly felt relaxed and calm. I intend to use these twice a week when I am having a stressful day or feel as though I cannot sleep. The Naked Beauty Box just introduced me to two products I must have and will be reordering.  To shop this awesome subscription box and save 25% with coupon code: Anna25 click here.

When I get ready in the Morning I am not shy about using a face mask while doing my hair and since 4 sheet masks from Midflower were included in The Naked Beauty Box the decision was which one do I try first. After looking at them all and knowing how my skin has been I went for the Midflower Binchotan Charcoal Clarifying Black Mask. This was a great mask that didn't slip off my face once I set it on it stayed on for the 30 minutes. I even did my hair and I had no issues. When I removed the mask my skin looked so clean and my pores were much smaller. I knew this brand would be my newest obsession. I could not wait to get home from work that night to try out the next two products included in The Naked Beauty Beauty Box. After work couldn't come soon enough for so many reasons but I knew a real treat was waiting for me with the Voesh: Waterless 3 Step Pedi- in a Box Green Tea. This little box was packed with step one a Sugar Scrub for my feet and legs which felt so awesome and step 2 a mud mask wow never knew my feet and legs needed that until after trying this and finally step 3 Massage Butter which just felt so nice and moisturizing. For both feet and legs this entire process took under 15 minutes yet my feet and legs felt so revived. I have already repurchased that from Voesh because I plan to use one of these at least twice a week. Finally the 5th product in the Naked Beauty Box is True Moringa which is a Pure Moringa oil. I am excited that this helps with premature aging, dark spots and redness. I have an issue with a dark spot or two that has been bothering me and after 3 days of use I saw this making a difference and the fact that it helped with the redness in my cheeks almost immediately has me extremely happy.  The Naked Beauty Box is a 5 $$$$$ and it gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

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!
