Kushyfoot Flats To Go

Attention all Women who wear uncomfortable shoes!!

I was sent Kushyfoot Flats To Go directly from Kushyfoot for testing and reviewing purposes! I have to say that these could not come at a better time! I got them and the next weekend I was headed to a wedding! If you would like to purchase your own pair of these little lightweight life saviors check them out here @ http://www.kushyfoot.com/category/k-ballet-flats.aspx

I got these and I immediately loved that I was sent the Grey Snake Print Kushyfoot Flats to Go! I first thought that these would be perfect as slippers but after I read the cute little package that they came in I realized they where meant to save your tiered feet from high heels! I then knew exactly when and where I would be wearing them! The wedding I was going the following weekend! The Kushyfoot Flats To Go are light weight and fit anywhere the package they come in can be used to carry them. What surprised me and delighted me was the padded sole and they had.
Comfortable and stylish! They also massage your feet and the grip wont let you slip! So dance the night away in comfort and style!

When I got to the wedding ceremony in my heels I was fine but about an hour into the reception you start to notice everyone ditches their heels for bare feet or flip-flops! I grabbed the Kushyfoot Flats to Go out of my clutch and unfolded them and slipped them on. They where SO COMFORTABLE it wasn't even funny! I had gripe on the dance floor and they are STYLISH! I got stopped by every lady at the wedding asking where I got these flats and how much they where? I let them know I received them complimentary but I referred them all to the Kusyfoot website and let them know they only cost $9.99 a pair! They also are available in four print options!

I give the KUSHYFOOT FLATS TO GO A 5 $$$$$ FOR THE UNBEATABLE VALUE AND THEIR ABILITY TO KEEP ME ON MY FEET WITHOUT PAIN! THEY HAVE GRIP THAT IS BETTER THAN ANY SHOE I HAVE EVER OWNED AND ARE SO COMFORTABLE YOU HARDLY KNOW THEY ARE ON!

It has a HYDRATING High shine, great pigmented color and it didn't get all sticky and gross! My hair didn't get stuck to it either! IT Cosmetics promises that the Vitality Lip Blush Hydrating Lip Gloss Stain "glides on like a lightweight serum that instantly hydrates, repairs and protects lips with a flush of naturally pretty color that lasts." The color is beautiful I usual stay away from the reds but this Wine Berry Flush was perfect and it really did last! I applied around 5:45 AM before I get into my car and it didn't need a touch even after lunch at noon. I of course touched it just because I love to saturate my lips with color and moisture and this stain feels so good on my lips. I am so happy with this and for it to be a stain that lasts just really brings such smile to my face!

illuMask Anti-Aging Phototherapy Mask

Greetings Beauty Bag Readers,

I have been very busy these days testing a lot of different products for you lovelies! Today I am bringing you something really new and cool but its also something you are familiar with. I have tested illuMask in the past but for acne and I was impressed to say the least so I am gave the illuMask Anti-Aging Phototherapy Mask a try. The illuMask company was very kind to send it to me for free to test out and review for all you! A link to them is right here @ http://www.illumask.com/anti-aging-mask/

I will give you some information about the illuMask Anti-Aging Phototherapy Mask before I share my experience and result with it. It is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also makes your skin visibly brighter and clearer. The results are derived from an 8 week patient data study! However 96% of users had a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles in 4 weeks! This like the acne mask is only used for 15 minutes a day for 30 days!
Your 15 minutes away from smoother, firmer and less wrinkled skin!

I was very excited to try this illuMask for Anti-Aging and I had high expectations because of the positive results I saw with the Anti-Acne mask! The illuMask Anti-Aging Phototherapy Mask  is another WINNER in my eyes! The result are unreal I know you wont believe it until you see it for yourself! At first you will not think the mask works only because most of the little LED lights light up red while the others don't seem to be on all! However they are working they are the infrared light that are going to work on reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles! The Red light that you see even skin tone and reduces roughness!

Now on this journey I of course took notes in a journal and after 10 treatments the first thing I noticed personally was that the fine lines around my lips were faded and I was truly impressed because I hate when my lipstick gets into those pesky lines. Another note was that on Day 15 I noticed that my acne scars were faded and my skin was really soft and even! It made makeup application a breeze because I used less concealer! On day 20 my fines lines and wrinkles around my eyes that started to appear for the past 5 years were less noticeable and my husband commented on how happy he was that I got ready quickly on day 24 for a date night to diner and a movie. I am crediting the fact that my usage of the illuMask Anti-Aging Phototherapy Mask made my skin tone even and smooth which made my makeup application a breeze and the fact that I could dust some powder or loose foundation over my face without it worrying it might settle! It made such a difference in my skin that by day 30 my over all appearance was so improved I got tears because the treatments ended and I feared the lines would show back up along with the uneven scared skin tone!

If I have not convinced you yet to give the illuMask ANTI-AGING PHOTOTHERAPY MASK A TRY MAYBE MY 5 $$$$$ RATING BECAUSE IT REALLY WORKS! THE FACT THAT YOU WILL NOTICE A DIFFERENCE IN JUST 10 DAYS IS AMAZING! THE FACT THAT AFTER JUST ONE MONTH YOUR FINE LINES WILL BE NON EXISTANT AND THE OVER ALL TEXTURE OF YOUR SKINN WILL BE SOFT AND SUPPLE IS MORE SATIFYING THAN ANY CREAM OR SERUM I HAVE EVER USED! ALL I DO IS CLEANSE MY FACE AFTER WORK AND PUT THIS illuMask ON FOR 15 MINUTES AND I PEELED AWAY ABOUT 6 YEARS OF AGING! AFTER I DISPOSED OF THE BATTERIES (WHICH ARE INCLUDED) I WENT IMMIDATELY AND REPURCHASED THE illuMASK ANTI-AGING PHOTOTHERAPY MASK TO KEEP UP WITH MY RESULTS!

My only dilemma is do I use my anti- acne illuMask or my anti-aging illuMask because I love them both so much! Its REAL RESULTS so I use both!

Visit http://www.illumask.com/anti-aging-mask/ for more information about their studies and to PURCHASE this amazing mask! It is $30.00 for the illuMask Anti-Acne Light therapy which breaks down to $1.00 per treatment.

Le Couvent des Minimes Leg Soothing Loiton

Bonjour My Beauty Bag Readers,

Today I am bringing you something so special that I could hardly wait to write this blog post. I used this for a while just to make sure I love it but it was hard not to share after just two uses! I received a bottle of Le Couvent de Minimes Leg Soothing Lotion directly from the Le Couven de Minimes Company for testing purposes and I am now in LOVE with this product! You can purchase it from them @ http://usa.lecouventdesminimes.com/leg-soothing-lotion-to-reactivate-micro-circulation-and-refresh-tired-legs-le-couvent-des-minimes,4,1,209,1338.htm#s=864 and let me tell you the should sell it by gallon!

You are probably now asking WHY DO I LOVE THIS SO MUCH? Well all summer long I have shaved faithfully everyday sometimes twice a day just to makes sure that my legs where smooth and perfect when wearing skirts, shorts and mini dresses! I also used sunscreen everyday and extra when spending time at beach but all of that shaving and sun exposure has dried out my legs and made them look flakey and with fall here I knew it was time to repair the damage. When this bottle of Le Couvent des Minimes Leg Smoothing Lotion arrived at my doorstep complimentary of the company I was excited. I applied after shaving and showering. Their directions state to "apply to legs each day, gently massaging from the sole of the feet to the top of the thighs." So on the first day and each day after that I applied this luxurious Leg Soothing Lotion with a smile on my face because it is AMAZING! It smell like a mint and lemon had a baby and it was the Le Couvent des Minimes Leg Smoothing Lotion! The scent is just so good you never want it to go away. It fills the room at first and after you have applied to your legs it slowly but surely fades to this light refreshing scent that lingers gingerly!
Le Couvent des Minimes Leg Soothing Lotion is a Beauty Bag Must HAVE! Photo taken before it was completely empty! Ordering it ASAP!

Once I got past the scent day after day I saw result after just the second application. My legs where silky smooth and that had this glow to them that no other lotion has ever given me! I was upset I didn't have this when I was wearing the short shorts, skirts and dresses all summer because this made my legs look like they where lit from within! No joke my legs look like the ladies who are walking the red carpet at the Emmy Awards! I mean I never had my legs feel so soft and MOISTURIZED after just one layer of the Le Couvent de Minimes Leg Soothing Lotion! There was no need for multiple layers because your legs just felt so good! The formula is so lightweight that your skin will absorb it in less than 30 seconds!   

I am giving the LE COUVENT DES MINIMES LEG SOOTHING LOTION A RENOUNDING 5 $$$$$ FOR IT ABILITY TO MAKE MY LEGS SOFT, SUPPLE AND GLOW WITH JUST A QUICK APPLICATION EVERY NIGHT! THE GRAPESEED OIL & SHEA BUTTER NOURISH AND REPAIR WHILE THE IVY, RED VINE, CYPRESS & SPEARMINT HELP IMPROVE MICROCIRCULATION. WHILE THE ALPINE MIND, LEMON AND MAY CHANGE ESSENCES ARE A REFRESHING SCENT THAT LINGER IN YOUR NOSE AND YOU SMILE! THIS IS A MUST HAVE IN MY BEAUTY BAG!

The Le Couvent des Minimes Leg Soothing Lotion is available on their website @  http://usa.lecouventdesminimes.com/ for $25.00!

Follow the on Facebook @ https://www.facebook.com/LeCouventdesMinimes and On Pinterest @ http://www.pinterest.com/lecouventusa/

I want to let you know I have a few more product to review from Le Couvent des Minimes so be on the look out for that in the coming weeks!

FRESH KIDZ

Hello Beauty Bag Mom's, Dads and anyone who is raising a Child

I am bringing you something VERY SPECIAL today from my Beauty Bag! I want to first say that this product is NOT just for parents or guardian's of Girls it is also for Boy so keep reading on. I got in contact with a WONDERFUL company called Keep It Kind and this company makes deodorant aimed at children ages 8-14. I received this deodorant for free for testing purposes and it has changed EVERYTHING I ever thought about deodorant! Visit their website for a store located near you @ http://www.wekeepitkind.com/us/

I got these before my girls got home from school so I opened it and read the label and it said No Aluminum, No Parabens and No Alcohol. As a parent I was thrilled to see that this deodorant was safe. I also read it was dermatologically tested  and suitable for all skin types. I was also thrilled that doing the laundry would be easy because it would not stain the kids tops! I smelled it and I was happy that it wasn't too strong but not weak either! It has sweet floral smell that is not overpowering its  just right!

The ultimate test was what the girls thought and they LOVED the smell. They loved that it was a roll on and that it was easy to put on wait a few seconds get dressed and start their day. The ultimate test came for me was if it lasted ALL DAY!  They each go to school have a gym class and then head to an after school physical activity. Gymnastics, dance and cheerleading to name a one for each. With other deodorants my girls where reapplying after gym class at school and before and after each of their activities but with FRESH KIDZ I have to say they didn't even reapply once because they where dry and they said it smelled great! I was thrilled that they love it and that the scent didn't wear off! Children at that age are very particular about what scents they like and this one was a real winner! To get three girls with three different personalities to all like the FRESH KIDZ deodorant is a miracle in itself! I am thrilled!
The perfect deodorant for kids that parents can approve! Fresh Kidz is GREAT!

The one FRESH KIDZ for boys I received from Keep It Kind went to my nephew who plays football! Of course practice is after a full day of school which includes gym glass so he applies his deodorant every morning and wont leave home without one.  I asked him to really put this to the test and try his hardest not to reapply it after gym class or before or after football practice just to really test it out for his auntie and he said he would. He told me that while it worked really well for him after gym class he wanted to reapply it before foot ball practice but he didn't. He told me he stayed dry through the day after gym and personally didn't need to reapply until after football practice however he didn't (for me) He said the scent was still there and that he like it a lot and that he didn't seem to need to apply more cologne through the day because his deodorant smelled really good and made him feel confidant! He also loved that it smelled manly and not like a little kid! He did the one day of no reapplying test for me and he approved however his personal preference was to reapply after practice for his own happiness and I am as well as his mom are fine with it because the FRESH KIDZ for boy has NO Aluminum, NO Parabons and NO Alcohol in it!

If it is not obvious yet I give the FRESH KIDZ DEODRANT FOR GIRLS AND BOYS A 5 $$$$$ IN MY KID TESTED MOTHER APPROVED BEAUTY BAG FULL OF GOODIES! THIS IS ONE PRODUCT I DONT WORRY ABOUT MY KIDS USING! THE SCENT IS NOT TOO MUCH FOR A YOUNGER CHILD AND IT IS NOT TOO LITTLE! IT GIVES THEM THE CONFIDANCE THAT THEY  CAN GO TO AN AFTER SCHOOL SPORT SMELLING GOOD AFTER A LONG DAY AT SCHOOL WITHOUT THE HARSH ALCOHOLS, PARABENS AND ALUMINUMS THAT OTHER DEODARANTS HAVE THAT WORRY PARENTS! I HAVE ALREADY REPURCHSED FRESH KIDZ FOR MY KIDS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO!

Visit http://www.wekeepitkind.com/us/ to locate and find even more information about FRESH KIDZ products from the Keep It Kind Makers themselves!

Excited to also announce that I will be reviewing more product from FreshKidzUS in the future!

Chapstick Hydration Lock Moisturize and Renew

Hello Beauty Bag Beauties,

I just tried the latest from the Chapstick. I received it from www.Smiley360.com  for testing purposes as a product sample. I have used it for over a week now and it is by far the  BEST Chapstick yet.  It is brand new from the Chapstick brand and it called Chapstick Hydration Lock. It is two formulas in one stick. It is duel ended. One side has a moisturize formula which tastes like soft vanilla and the other end is a renew formula which tastes like botanical medley. It glides on clear, feels smooth and not tacky. The taste is not over powering and after its on your lips for just a few minutes you can apply a lipstick gloss or whatever you like on top with no problems. You can wear it alone and it lasts about four hours before you feel the need to apply more. I love that it is an advanced anti-aging formula too! I love to apply a lip balm on my way home from work when lip glosses, stains and lipsticks are no longer needed or right before bed to renew your lips while you sleep.

I love this new Chapstick!


This lip balm is a WINNER in my book and I GIVE THE CHAPSTICK HYDRATION LOCK MOISTURIZE AND RENEW A  5 $$$$$. The benfits of healthy, beautiful and tasty lips are a must have in your Beauty Bag!

Note: I received the Chapstick Hydration Lock Moisture and Renew as a free product sample from www.smiley360.com I am speaking from personal experience and my thoughts are my own!

Skintimate Signature Scents Moisturizing Shave Gel in Madarin Burst

Aloha Beauty Bag Beauties,

I am here to bring you a product that I received complimentary for testing purposes from a company called Crowdtap. The website is http://home.crowdtap.com/ and if you sign up and answer survey questions you to can be sent products to test like the bottle of Skintimate Shave Gel I received. Now I got the disclaimer out of the way I can tell you all about the Skintimate Signature Scents Shave Gel in Mandarin Burst scent.

I was not shaving my legs for a while due to the fact that I was using other methods for hair removal but I decided to give this a try and host a little shave party with 8 of Best Girlfriends to test this out. I had them over and told them not to shave for a day. When they arrived I provided everything we would need to shave which included the Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel. We all did our thing and shaved. The first thing you notice of course is the scent it SMELLS AMAZING! It honestly relaxes you and makes your feel like you are on vacation while shaving your legs. The girls testing this out where so happy to try but they were even happier that it worked!

Not one of nicked or cut ourselves while using the Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel. It has Vitamin E and Olive Butter which helps moisturize you legs while you shave! Everyone's legs where silky-smooth and no one needed to moisturize with lotion after shaving because we had dry or irritated legs like with other so called shave gels. All the ladies were super impressed and they all wanted to sneak the Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel home with them!


A photo of one of the Happy Party Goer from the Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel!


If it is not obvious by now I GIVE THE SKINTIMATE MANDARIN BURST SHAVE GEL A 5 $$$$$ FOR THE FACTS THAT IT IS AN AFFORDABLE AND COMFORTABLE WAY TO REMOVE UNWANTED HAIR! IT SMELLS WONDERFUL, MAKES YOUR LEGS FEEL LIKE SILK AND PROTECTS YOUR LEGS FROM NICKS & CUTS. THE ADDED VITAMINS AND CONDITIONERS KEEP YOUR LEGS MOISTURIZED WHICH IS A MUST WHEN SHAVING!

So when I am asked what I use when I shave I say SKINTIMATE MANDARIN BURST SHAVE GEL!

Note: I received this bottle of Skintimate Mandarin Burst Shave Gel has a free product sample  from @ http://home.crowdtap.com/  however my opinions are my own!

emjoi eRase e60

Hello Beauty Bag Readers,

Today I am bringing you something really special. It is the Emjoi Erase e60. I received it complimentary of  Emjoi for testing and reviewing. My thoughts are my own and if you would like to an Emjoi Erase e60 of your own after reading my experice links to their website will be at the end of my review.

Now that I took care of the disclaimer we can get to the review. Let me start by saying I have never used and epilator before in my life so yes I was nervous but the thought of not having to shave for up to six weeks made me more curious than scared. The Emjoi I was sent is eRase e60 and it has 60 tweezer discs that removes hair in less time (BONUS who has extra time) It does legs, underarms, face and bikini areas. It also comes with a sensitive cover for delicate areas like your face. It has dual opposed heads which make it more comfortable and it removes hair from the root (I know sounds scary) but with two speeds and the fact that it can remove hair as short as 0.3mm made me feel comfortable. Keep in mind it is electrically operated (corded) so it wont run out of battery power in the middle of a session. This is a new model from Emjoi and they have been around doing this for a very long time so I am glad I could use this trusted brand as my first epilator.
The Entire Emjoi eRase e60 Kit $79.95 I received it complimentary for testing purposes. You can purchase yours @ http://emjoi.com/AP-14EB/emjoi-erase-e60


Now I know what you all are wondering did it work and did it hurt? Well IT WORKS! I did it on one leg where the hair on my legs was a little longer because I was unsure if I should have it to short it wouldn't work then on the other leg I experimented and had the hair two days out. I prefer the two day out. It did not hurt  all on the longer hair it hurt a pinch literally not bad at all and I don't like pain. Its nothing like waxing because your not ripping your skin with the Emjoi Erase e60 your just pulling the hair and the hair is what you want gone so why would you rip at your skin? I sure will never ever wax again after using a virtually painless Emjoi Erase e60 that did keep my leg hair free for 3 and half weeks. After about three weeks I used it again and they were still smooth my but in order to maintain the smooth I decided to use the Emjoi eRase e60 before the 6 week mark and this way I experienced NO PAIN after another treatment in 4 weeks or so I do only expect to use the Emjoi eRase e60 every 6-8 weeks from what I can see with my hair growth. If anything changes I WILL UPDATE you!

I do have tips to give you. Do shower before you epilate it helps open up your pores and if you exfoliate that even better it will make your skin soft and supple so removing the hair will be as pain free as possible. Everyone has different thresholds for pain and this one is for me on a scale of 1-5 a 1.5. It is nothing but I will note my threshold is high. I must also let you all know that I have super sensitive skin and the Emjoi eRase e60 epilator did not irate my skin at all. It just plucked the hairs right out leaving my skin smooth and silky. Remember to use this on dry skin that is free of any body lotions and fresh out of the shower works best! I did use it on the low speed setting so far and will start probably stick  to that per the Emjoi guides suggestion for sensitive skin. High is recommended for course hair. I used the sensitive cover attachment when removing that little peach fuzz hair you get on the side of your face and that did wonders for my face. I have a better and smoother makeup application now!
Those are the 30 Tweezers working in this AMAZING epilator to keep you hair free for 6 weeks!

If you haven't yet figured it out yet Beauty Bag Readers I LOVE the Emjoi eRase e60 EPILATOR AND I GIVE IT A 5 $$$$$ ON IT ABILITY TO REMOVE HAIR ON YOUR LEGS, FACE, BIKINI LINE & UNDERARMS WITH LITTLE PAIN (depending on how you tolerate pain of course for some it may feel like waxing) HOWEVER THE RESULTS ARE WHAT IMPRESSED ME MOST! I HAD SMOOTH LEGS FOR THREE WEEKS! I MEAN THREE GLORIUS WEEKS IN WHICH I DID NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HAIR ON MY LEGS OR UNDERARMS! I COULD WEAR SHORTS, SKIRTS, DRESSES AND SLEVELESS SHIRTS WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD! FOR ME YOU CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS BUT THE EMJOI ERASE E60 BRINGS JOY TO ME WHEN I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SHAVING!! I LOVE IT! IT IS PRICED REASONABLY TOO!

WHEN I AM ASKED WHAT DO YOU REMOVE UNWANTED HAIR WITH? I say my Beauty Bag is armed with the EMJOI ERASE e60

The Emjoi eRase e60 is in my Beauty Bag and it should be in yours too!


You can buy the Emjoi eRASE e60 Eplilator @  http://emjoi.com/Store/Products/AP-14EB this link will bring you directly to this model that I tested. It is $79.95 with same day free shipping at this time.

illuMask Anti-Acne Light Therapy Mask

Hello Beauty Bag Followers!

I have been hard at work testing a lot of new products out there and the one I am bringing you today required a 30 day test! I received this product for free direct from the illuMask Company for testing purposes!Here is direct link to them http://www.illumask.com/anti-acne-mask/

A little background information about this illuMask is that it is FDA Cleared and has Clinically proven results to help you have acne free skin in just 15 minutes a day. It is safe enough to be sold at Wal-Mart and a link to them is here at http://www.walmart.com/ip/illuMask-Anti-Acne-Light-Therapy-Mask/32664760

I honestly was so excited to try this because I do suffer from occasional mild acne. When it hits my face its awful and it takes weeks to get it to clear up only to leave a scars then to happen to me again a month or two later. This illuMask seemed like something I could try and since its sold at Wal-Mart @ http://www.walmart.com/ip/illuMask-Anti-Acne-Light-Therapy-Mask/32664760    I was comfortable that wouldn't hurt my skin like other creams I have used that made my skin dry and worse in some cases (as in more red and inflamed). The illuMask is like something I NEVER tried before it has a Mask portion and a controller that counts down your 30 treatments (After 30 treatments your mask will no longer turn on or work). You just have to cleanse your skin with a mild cleanser (I used Simple, See my review for that from 2013) I would not use a cleanser you use for acne treatments because illuMask instructions do say mild cleanser and acne based cleansers usually contain benzoyl peroxide which by any means is not mild. I pat my face dry and then take out this mask that look a little weird but it does have eye protective glasses that also keep the mask on your face. I sit down click the button on and the Blue Light that kills acne cause bacteria turns on along with the Red Light that reduces inflammation and heals breakouts turns on as well. I sit relax for 15 minutes as it does its thing. After 15 minutes the mask turns off on its own and then I have 29 days left to go according the controller that is counting down my treatments.




After the first treatment I will be honest I ran to the mirror thinking did it do anything?! I had a pimple forming on the side of my nose that day ( I feel them before they even pop up) and I had something going on, on my chin. They were awful and painful on my chin and I knew the one on my nose would not be any better. So every morning I did my mask and after just 5 treatments the one on my nose never gave me any problems NONE it just kind disappeared and I never had to think about it again. My chin was completely CLEARED of any blemishes in  14 DAYS!!

From 30 treatments to only 3 left.

By day 20 I saw something try to break out on my cheek and the next day on day 21 by the end of the night I saw nothing again. Old acne scars started to get really light especially the ones on my chin that are problem area. I did get even one pimple on my forehead which was a miracle in itself. The true test came by day 25 when my time of the month happened. I thought that this was never going to work I always get a pimple or two I look in the mirror and NOTHING no zit not a white head not a black head NOTHING! In fact my skin is SMOOTHER than ever. I have no pain from  the awful breakout that I would get, no ugly bumps to cover up with concealer and the little red bumps that I have had on my cheeks since I can remember are GONE! My combination skin of oily at times or way to dry at other times has just become normal to the touch. After 30 day of just 15 minutes a day I no longer needed my tube of concealer or blotting papers for the oil my skin seemed to produce! The illuMask made me have clearer skin then ever!

I LOVE THE ILLUMASK & I GIVE IT A 5 $$$$$ ON THE FACT THAT IT WORKS! IT WORKS LIKE NOTHING I HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE AND I HAVE TRIED IT ALL! WHERE WAS THIS 12 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND EVEN MORE SELF CONCIOUS?!(being older yes I am wiser and have learned to cover the acne better than when I was younger but people are mean when your young and when your older and struggle with acne I know they are just thinking it girl get your acne under control your not 15 anymore I know they think this because I looked in the mirror and thought it about myself) THE ILLUMASK HAS GIVEN ME MY LIFE AND MY SELF-ESTEEM BACK TO BE ACNE FREE IS AMAZING AND JUST AWESOME! I USE LESS MAKEUP AND SOMETIMES NONE AT ALL NOW! LIGHT THERAPY FOR 30 DOLLARS IS SO WORHT IT! YOU WILL KNOW WHEN YOU TRY IT! DERMATOLOGISTS HAVE USED IT FOR DECADES IN THEIR OFFICES AND NOW YOU CAN USE IT EVERYDAY FOR 15 MINUTES A DAY AT 1 DOLLAR A TREATMENT! I MUST MENTION THAT 7 DAYS AFTER I STOPPED USING THE ILLUMASK I HAD A SMALL BREAKOUT ON MY CHIN SO I IMMEDIATELY DID REORDER THE ILLUMASK!

COOLA Mineral Sunscreen for Face in SPF 20

Aloha Beauty Bag Lovelies,

Summer is in full swing right now and me being me I am always on the hunt for a great sunscreen and one to protect my face is a must because fall and winter is closer than we think. I use sunscreen on face all year round and I was really drawn to the COOLA line because its green friendly, cruelty free and TSA approved for all you travelers! I got on the COOLA website searched around bought a couple of things (which are all going to be reviewed thought out the next few months) but what I had to review was there COOLA Mineral Sunscreen for the face in SPF 20 with a light natural tint and rose essence.

I got the package and used it immediately! I noticed that it seem maybe too dark but after applying it on my face it blended beautifully! It smelled wonderful! I was also pleased to see that it dried down really nicely and kept my skin moisturized! The coverage was also AMAZING I didn't need to follow up with any type of liquid foundation this covered it all. I never experienced that before with a mineral sunscreen moisturizer I was stunned to be honest with you. For a beach day that is awesome for a day a work I only set it with a little loose powder mascara on my eyes and liner! I was literally ready for work in like 6 minutes throughout the month of July while testing this COOLA mineral sunscreen for the face.

Great Sunscreen but beware of that packaging!

I do love the COOLA Mineral Sunscreen for the Face in SPF 20 but I have one negative to report in all honesty the tube it comes in super easy to pack in a beach bag or your purse but when you try to pump some out and it won't come out be warned that if you unscrew the top to let the air pressure out it will squirt out after you pump it and it will go everywhere including you nice blouse or shirt. It happened to me twice and because this is a tinted SPF moisturizer you need to get the shirt or blouse cleaned up and spot treat the stain ASAP!

I give the COOLA MINERAL SUNSCREEN FOR THE FACE IN SPF 20 A 4 $$$$ FOR ITS ABILITY TO NOT ONLY KEEP MY FACE PROTECTED FROM THE SUN WHETHER ON A BEACH OR WORK DAY BUT TO MAKE MY MAKEUP ROUTINE ALMOST NON EXISTANT! IT PROTECT AND COVERS YOUR FACE LIKE A FOUNDATION BUT IT IS 70+ CERTIFIED ORGANIC INACTIVES HELP YOU KEEP YOUR SKIN SAFE IN THE SUN & ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. IT IS $36.00 FOR A 1.7 OUNCE TUBE & I COULD ONLY FIND IT ONLINE ON THE COOLA SUNCARE WEBSITE WHICH ISNT THAT CONVENIENT & IT WILL STAIN YOUR CLOTHES IF YOU GET ANY ON YOURSELF WHIC IS WHY I HAD TO GIVE IT A 4 $$$$ BUT OVERALL DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY AND TRY THIS BECAUSE THE BENEFITS ARE OUTSTANDING AND DO WEIGHTOUT THE ONE NEAGATIVE AND THE HIGHER COST TO BUY AND SHIP THE PRODUCT!

When asked what tinted moisturizer is in my Beauty Bag? I SAY COOLA Mineral Sunscreen for the Face in SPF 20!

For purchase you can find it @ www.coolasuncare.com also visit the store locator section because you may be a lucky one who can find it at a store near you!

As Always
