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. This entire configuration is a beauty bag must have that gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA! I will be repurchasing the products in The Naked Beauty Box .

Sweet Lavender Morning Body Scrubs & Body Butters

I am super excited today Beauty Bag Dolls to be sharing a very special review of a new brand to me and maybe to all of you  that I have fallen head over heals in love with. The Sweet Lavender Morning brand is a brand the makes body scrubs and body butters so well that I am beyond blown away! These are the best smelling first off and hydrating of course body scrubs and butters I have ever tried! I received four scents which are Macintosh Apple, Watermelon, Aloha Pineapple and Wild Poppy and Peaches. I received both the body scrub and body butter in the same scents and I cannot get enough. The Sweet Lavender Morning brand is my go to must have for body scrubs and butters. Please read on to learn more.
My beauty bag must haves for body care comes from Sweet Lavender Morning! Try their body scrubs and butters and you will know why I love them!

First off when the package arrived I could hardly wait to open it up and slather on some body butter and the first one I tried was the Macintosh Apple which smells like a slice Macintosh apple. I used the body butter immediately on my hands and arms and my skin drank it in immediately. The body butter sinks right in and deeply hydrates and moisturizes my skin. I must note was not left feeling sticky or oily just hydrated and soft. This by far is the best body butter around and I must note that The Sweet Lavender Morning really gets the scent just right and it is not overwhelming by any means, and do note an unscented is available as well as so many other scents. Link to the matching body scrub scent is here. I must say this is a very luxurious body butter that is thick and rich but sinks right into the skin leaving you velvety soft. This is a 5 $$$$$ and gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA and along with the other three scents are staples in my beauty bag. Up next The Sweet Lavender Morning Body Scrub.

The Sweet Lavender Morning Body Scrub is so good the only issue you will have is choosing which scent to open first I went with Aloha Pineapple and I have zero regrets! This scent smells like a tropical vacation but I get to have one each night that I choose to use a body scrub. I love a body scrub and The Sweet Lavender Morning is a full experience of sensory and luxury. You can smell good and feel good when using Aloha Pineapple because it goes to work with the sugar at exfoliating all the unwanted (this gets gross now) dead skin cells. I love using this all over and I focus on the knees and elbows just because they tend to be a little more dry. I love to use this each morning because after I get out of the shower I am left so soft and silky I don't need body butter and to be honest I love a good body butter each night so this works out perfectly. I love The Sweet Lavender Morning Body Scrub and its without a doubt a 5 $$$$$ product which gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

First up is the Pliaten Pore Strips, these are an absolute must have for me since I have combination more oily prone skin and this strip is used to remove oil from your face. I used this on my forehead and it did the  trick at just helping remove and absorb the extra oil on my forehead and it looked so much less shiny. This is a product I will repurchase and I also used one on my nose and WOW say bye bye to black heads. Up next is the Collagen Crystal Neck Mask. Now I have used a neck mask in the past and they are a rare kind however this one is by far superior to the others on the market and is one I will repurchase.

I love it so much. It was brighter than ever and I will be using this one twice a week. I have already repurchased this to have one to use on my face and one to use internally. The fourth product included is the Soon Skin Lip Masks in Strawberry and Watermelon. Now I have sensitive lips and hesitate with new things but I love the Soon mask that was included in the April Naked Beauty Box so I applied this and I was so happy. This helped with hydration and gently exfoliated. Made my lips plump and soft for lipstick application. I have already ordered these as well. The final product is the Urban Dollkiss Baviphat Face Masks, which are available in Pomegranate, green tea or avocado. I did not get Aloe however the three I did get are so nice that I went ahead and reordered and purchased the Aloe.

Smuka Microfiber Makeup Remover Pads

Beauty Bag Dolls I am so happy today to be bringing you an amazing product from a brand called Smuka. They have a 6 pack of their Microfiber Makeup Remover Pads and they are really good. These are a larger design and that is extremely helpful when removing a full face of makeup. I will have a full review below however I want to give you some background information about this wonderful brand Smuka. The Smuka Microfiber Makeup Remover Pads are all natural and organic. Their "colourful Makeup Remover Pads are made of high-quality microfiber cloth. Which means no dangerous chemical was used in production of these pads. The edge is made with organic cotton which does not deform easily, unlike other products edge sewed with thread."  The Smuka Microfiber Face Cleaning Cloth has "3 Layers Organic Cloth which allows the complete removal of makeup and dirt and absolutely not hurtful to the skin."
The Smuka Microfiber Makeup Remover Pads are beauty bag must haves! 

When these arrived at my home I immediately was so excited to use them and you use them with just warm water which is such a plus for me because harsh cleansers irritate  my sensitive acne prone skin so if there is any way I can avoid cleansers I do. These are the largest Makeup Remover Pads I have ever used and I love them. With just warm water and the Smuka Microfiber Makeup Remover Pad I got all of my makeup off quickly and effectively without tugging or pulling. My long wear foundation, water proof mascara, eyeliner, eye shadow, bronzer, blush, highlighter, lip liner and lipstick all came off with barely any effort. When I was done my skin was cleansed, soft and smooth. My skin was not red or irritated instead it was clean and glowing. I used both sides of one Smuka Microfiber Makeup Remover Pad and then just tossed it in the included mesh laundry bag. I used one new one every day then just washed in the washing machine with my favorite detergent no dryer or fabric softener I just laid them flat to dry and the next day they were ready to be used again and again! These are just so fabulous I can never be without my Smuka Microfiber Makeup Remover Pads. You can purchase them on Amazon.com and click on any of the links I included in my review you will not want to miss out on this BEAUTY BAG Must that gets a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!
