Whishes Come true ~ Whish Body Care ~ Review

*pr sample*

We did talk a lot about skin care lately so now lets jump into body care. 

I found Whish on my IG. I like look at new brands that I not known of and they happen be one of them. I am so happy to have try 3 products out of their line;

* Body Oil

* Shave Cream

* Self Tanner.

Whish Body Oil ~ there is 9 scents to choose form : pomegranate, almond, Lemongrass, lavender, blueberry, coconut, acai grapefruit, perfectly plain and blue agave. I choose pomegranate. I love this oil because it adds extra moisture to my skin. It is a great addition in my shower routine. Leaves my skin moisturized, feeling smooth and super soft.

 It contains 4 moisturizing and soothing oils:

* sesame seed oil ~ antioxidant that also moisturize tissue deep beneath the skin

* sunflower seed oil ~ retains moisturize and keep skin form drying out 

* olive leaf extract ~ high in flavonoids and oleanolic acid, that is natural skin soother

* jojoba seed oil ~ is natural emollient to help keep skin supple and soft and maintain moisture.

I love to apply it right after i shower. And sometimes I use it along with The Righteous Body Butter form soap and glory.  The oil comes in a nice sized glass bottle with a pump. The pump gives you the right amount of oil :) just fyi you have to clean the bottle, I do so after each use. I take a damp cloth and clean the bottle with it. It gets oily some how. I really enjoy massaging it into my skin. feels silky and luxurious. It's non greasy (which is a plus), it sinks into the skin and leaves it glowy looking. 

Like I mention before I choose pomegranate scent and it does smell divine! Summery and super fresh. 

The oil does not have any parabens, is sulfate free, phthalate free, DEA and TEA free, not tested on animals and comes in eco friendly packaging. 

Price : $28

Whish Shave Crave Shave Cream ~ this thick whip provides close, moisturize shave with non drying foam. it is available in same 9 scents as body oil that I mention above. I picked again pomegranate. 

The cream is locked in airless pump. Its is made of :

* Natural Squalene ~ which is source of Omega 3 fatty acids, it replenishes and hydrates to eliminate roughness and dryness. 

* Organic Shea Butter ~ high content of non-saponifiable fats, which are the best natural skin moisturizers and high in antioxidants

* Organic Raspberry Butter ~ high in antioxidants,  great moisturizer.

* organic Green Tea ~ natural antioxidant , protects skin form free radicals 

* Organic Coconut Oil ~ high in antioxidants and coconut acid, provides deep moisture and keeps skin looking healthy, and beautiful. 

* Organic Jojoba Seed oil ~ keep skin supple and soft and maintain moisture. 

I really like the close shave I get with it. It is non foaming and might be a bit harder to work with. I just hate when it gets stuck between razor blades. other then that I been really enjoying it. Leaves my legs smooth and moisturized with out the nasty razor bumps! Ughhh! don't you just hate them ? I know I do and with this baby I don't get hem any more. This shave cream makes my top 3 best shave creams I tried.  Like I said it provides a great moisture and you don;'t need to apply body lotion after. I do. I actually go over it with the body oil :) 

I love ti and next time I want to try Blueberry one , I see a lot of people like that one so yeah why not! The bottle is big and it will last your for some time (depends how much you use it).

Price $16

Coconut Milk Self Tanner ~  can you believe this is my first time trying self tanner? I usually go for the sun or tanning place to get some tan. I didn't know what to expect and how to use it ! and I know some tanner stain hands so I was afraid this one will do it too.  although the smell is amazing he tanner itself didn't work for me. The formula is nice and not too runny. It as easy to massage into the skin. But that's it. I don;t know if  the weather or what but next day I had ugly orange streaks on my legs that didn't want to wash off... Or maybe I applied it wrong? I really don't know, I did have to cover my legs instead wear dresses :( another thing is i am really pale, and maybe that was another reason tanner didn't look good on me? Advice anyone? I really want it to work .
I tried on my tanned friend and she loved it ...
Tanner can be purchased at Whish website
Price $30

Soap and Glory ~ Hand Food and The Righteous Butter ~ Review

*pr sample*

Eeeekkkk! Im so excited for this post! I received a huge box form Soap and Glory PR Team few weeks ago and I been trying and loving their products! I am so happy that finally they are available here in USA! 

The Pink box contained more of makeup products since that that what Monica loves the most, but also I got two skin care products which recently I been love testing out.

Im telling you after trying both products I need more Soap and Glory ! 

Hand Food hand cream is a dream ! comes in cutest pink packaging :) I do love Soap and Glory packaging! they a so fun and pretty! so anyways I been loving this hand cream! The best one I tried so far! non greasy, hydrating  and smells freaking amazing! Contains Shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow! Formula is light and absorbs quickly into the skin. I love to put it on night time an then during the day. I just love how it smells and how soft my hands feel. This is really a must have in my skin care / body care routine. Also one time when I post it on my snapchat one of my friends told me she love s it and suggest me to use it on my heels! I did and OMG'! yes it works amazing! My heels are more softer and they do feel better and less cracked. :) 

The Righteous Body Butter ~ smells just like Hand Food Hand Cream.  Comes in ginormous pink container. Again all the writing on, container looks really awesome!  Smells like spring, girly and fruity. Contains Shea Butter and Aloe Vera. Feels really soothing and moisturizing. Love to apply right after i come out of the shower. Love to rub into my skin ! my skin feels really moisturized and super soft. Consistency is pretty thick but is spreads really easy and it doesn't feel greasy at all.  I actually for night time I like to mix it with Whish Body Oil, day time I apply by itself.

Skin Care Routine with OSEA Malibu

*pr sample*

hi Loves!

I recently discovered another great skin care products. They are by OSEA Malibu.

OSEA stands for Ocean, Sea, Earth and Atmosphere. They are natural skin care line which are based on sea ingredients. One of the main ingredients is seaweed, which is beneficial to the skin and it can replace minerals missing in the diet.

I been using OSEA products for past few weeks and I really been enjoying them. 

Products I been send are:

* Ocean Cleansing Mudd

* Blemish Balm

* Essential Corrective Complex

 As you can see all that your skin needs. 

I start night time routine with Ocean Cleaning Mudd. the base of this cleaner is a blend of seaweeds that are highly concentrated in minerals, trace elements, amino acids, and vitamins that serve to remove dead cells and purify clogged pores. With the hint of Tea Tree and Peppermint Oil to brighten and refreshed complexion. I massage it into my face or I use my Soniclear to wash my face with it. You can feel it working right away. It deep clean my pores and kept my acne on bay. After I rinse off my skin felt so good! Refreshed and clean. I was so happy it didn't irritate my skin! The tea tree and Peppermint oils makes my skin tingling and refreshes. It comes in glass bottle. Heavy duty glass bottle but just be careful not to break it. It does have a pump. I love then cleansers comes with pumps, they always pump out enough product you need :) The first thing you will notice is just how strong the scent is! If you are not fan of peppermint you will not like this one. 

When I'm done with cleaning my face I follow with Blemish Balm. Light, non greasy moisturizer that heals blemishes and gently hydrating without clogging pores. It reduces inflammation and prevents breakouts with powerful blend of natural ingredients. Contains OSEA's proprietary trio of organic seaweeds and healing blend of Cypress, Jupiter and Rosemary Oils, known for their antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Lightweight formula absorbs into the skin fast.  I really been enjoying this balm. After using t for few days I notice redness gone and my acne was less visible. I do like to use it nighttime the most. for my morning routine I reach for different moisturizer. Again you have here very strong scent. So if you are sensitive to it I suggest to stay away. I personally   love it and for me it feels really refreshing, comes in a glass bottle with a nice working pump.

At the end I like to apply Essential Corrective Complex. A pure blend of botanical and essential oils. Non drying acne treatment that heals blemishes and prevent scarring. Contains blend of Tea Tree, Jupiter and White Thyme oils which have a natural, powerful antiseptic and antibacterial properties. 

I use this on areas that I break out or on pimples that coming out. It does help me keep them at bay. Its a spot treatment and I feel like it does a really great job with my acne. And that is what I need a really good spot treatment. It comes in a glass with roller ball applicator. 

Overall I really been enjoying OSEA skincare line. I really looking forward to trying more products too. If you have acne problematic skin I suggest to give it a try :) But just warning you the scent is really strong.

OSEA skincare can be purchase at their website.

Marc Jacobs Beauty ~ Glow Stick Glistening Illuminator ~ Spotlight

Hi Loves!

I am so big on highlighter.  I'm telling you the obsession is real. Recently Glow Stick by Marc Jacobs joined my highlight family. And I am in love! 

Highlight comes in super adorable packaging. this is a cream highlighter. and its my third creme type highlight i own. Before I got PUR minerals strobing creme palettes.  

Highlight is hidden in this deodorant looking, twist up tube. Super easy to use and travel friendly. Marc Jacobs highlight delivers dewy pay off and it makes you achieve an natural looking glow. 

The shade is universal and flatters all skin ones. It is simply gorgeous silvery-gold. Depends on a light it can be silver or light gold. really easy to apply. oval shape of applicator allows for full coverage in one swipe. Blends really nice1 I used fingers or beauty blender. It can be also build up if you need more glow! I applied on top of my foundation and it didn't even smear it off. Foundation stayed untouched! 

I have an oily skin and I  was afraid to even touch creme products. What if they will make me look more oily? I really don't want that.

To  my surprise Marc Jacobs stick didn't . it gave me  nice dewy looking glow. that does not look greasy or oily. 

This is my go to  summer highlight. It last long time up to 6-7h). its creamy and bendable. The only bad about it is the price, $42 might be a bit too much for some of us. the second bad is that there is only one shade available. Maybe there will be more in the future who knows :)

Marc Jacobs Spotlight Illuminator was send to me by Influenster for review.

New in my Hair Care ~ Madam C.J Walker and White Sands

*pr sample*

Hi Loves!

Got some new hair care products that I want to talk about :) Love trying out new hair care products and see how my reacts to it. So far they don't complain :) 

In the mail I received three new hair care products and I really been linking all of them. 

Madam C.J Walker Beauty Culture 

Sephora exclusively launched Madam C.J Walker Beauty Culture hair care line, inspired by her legacy. Madam C.J Walker is an beauty icon when it comes to black women and their hair. This Southern woman become first first American female self-made millionaire. 

Hair products are nourishing and focusing on health and intercity of hair.  

The line feature four collections: Three for styling and one for treatment ~ total of 25 products. 

Each are loaded with antioxidants and dual oil encapsulation technology that smooths strands, ward of humidity,define curls and more, without hair feeling heavy and greasy.  

Dream Come True Wonderful Scalp Exfoliator ~ this universal collection is suitable for all hair types and includes intensive reparative treatments to repair, rebuild and hydrate scalp and strands. 

Before washing hair massage  this into the scalp  using fingertips and let it sit for 15 minutes. Rinse and follow with a shampoo and conditioner. This treatment supposed to removes all buildup and fakes form the scalp. And does it really work? I believe it does! 

I actually have a dry skin/flakes right on my hair line - Forehead. Especially on the right side I notice a white flakes that I could get rid off! Shampooing didn't help. And if I scratched it, it would just fall down in white snow ... you know what I mean? That is the reason I wanted to try this Wonderful Scalp Exfoliator and see if it can help me remove the flakes. After first I notice them gone... but not all. So after third time I can say I'm free of those white flakes! Woohoo. My scalp also feels better. Less itchy, hence the flakes are gone  :) 

Now this product costs $32 for 4oz/118ml
. And I feel after these 3 times I am running really low. My hair is long and I guess my head is big LOL ! I used a lot of product so for three/four times to spend $32 is no no for me. I guess if you have less hair (shorter hair) it might last you for longer, or maybe I put to much ?  Anyways I do like the product, it did help me with the flakes but just the price point is way to much for me to spend (now ..maybe later I can who knows). 

If you have scalp problem try this one out :) Did I mention that it smells amazing?  It does have a notes of warm vanilla and white flower. It really smells delightful.
Available at Sephora 

Frizz Fighting Coconut and Moringa Oils Curl Refresher Mist ~  in between washes hair needs a boost of moisture to maintain frizz-free. This mist revive flat waves and curls with moisture form refreshing, shine boosting mist. Dual Encapsulation Technology ensures frizz-free finish as tiny microspheres deliver moisturizing Coconut Oil and humid blocking moringa Oil, right where you hair needs it most. 

I been really enjoying this mist. I kept my hair curly for a week just to see how it would work. I sprayed it on third day and I my co worked notice .... shine! Actually my UPS guy asked me what did I do to my hair ? I asked him what did he mean by that ? He said that they look shiny! ooooo Yes that's the new refresher mist i been trying out! wow so I guess it works! 

After third and fourth day I sprayed evenly on my hair and run my fingers threw to separate curls and make them look more presentable. Another thing I notice was less frizz. Hurray! If you are in NYC you know the humidity and OMG my hair hates it! this little guy helped me out a lot! Now I want to try it on my straight hair and see if it can keep frizz on bay :) Again the scent is amazing! It contains notes of Coconut, Sweet Vanilla and Woods. once you spray it last on your hair all day long. Well it does on my :)

Price : $26 for 8floz/237ml. ( available at Sephora )

All Madam C.J Walker are cruelty free and formulated without parabens, sulfates and phthalates. 

White Sands Texture Smudge Creme ~ just look how cool looking product this is. This water-based styling and finishing product. Perfect on wet and dry hair. It can be use to texture or straighten hair.  I used it both ways for straightening and it help me with my curls as well. At first I was scared of the intense color but no worries once you apply to hair it is colorless. Since its water based it really lightweight and it wont make your hair flat looking or greasy. I personally prefer it for styling. I put a small amount of creme on my hand, rub them together and style my curls (I do it on a damp hair) and then let it air dry. It did control frizz a bit as well. Overall this product is good. I prefer to use it on curls then my straight hair though.
It can be purchase on  White Sands Website

Rose Gold Obssesion ~ Makeup Revolution

I don't know about you but I love anything rose gold! Starting with jewelry, continue with accessories, home decor and makeup packaging. Rose gold everywhere please :)
Like I said every time when I review MUR I am so happy that we finally are able to get it here in USA. Not all the products are here yet, but hopefully soon they will.
Recently I got three new products form famous and amazing MUR.
Golden Sugar 2 Rose Gold Palette and two lipsticks in rose gold tubes ( Diamond Life and Chauffeur). Let me tell you my thoughts on all the products :)

Golden Sugar 2 Rose Gold - Ultra professional blush palette. I would not call it a blush palette though. Well maybe the last two shades. This palette is gorgeous! Simply beautiful and so summer appropriate. The colors are stunning! Nice selection  of shimmery shades rage form peaches, pinks, golden and coppers. I would call this a highlight palette more then a blush palette. The shades like I said are all sparkly and shimmery and blends into the skin so nice and leave a beautiful glow. That coppery bronze can be use to bronze up the skin a bit :) I remember Emilynoel yt when she was talking about her favorite palettes form MUR. As soonest I saw Golden Sugar 2 I said to myself I need to have it. What can I say I love sparkly shades and this one is filled with them :)

First Row:
* 1st shade is matte and its mauve- pink. Can be use a light blush just too add bit of  flush to your cheeks :)
* 2nd shade is shimmery peachy color. So pretty especially as a highlight or peachy blush topper
* 3rd shade golden champagne color and OMG by far my favorite and the most used one. i adore this shade and I think this might be dupe for JH Champagne POP? I don;t know I have to check it out
* 4th shade is bronze blush shade. Its matte but it does have a small visible, tiny pink glitter in. Personally I would use it as a blush or either eyeshadow then bronzer.

Second Row:
* 1st shade light peachy highlight also one of my favorite in the palette. Looks amazing on the cheeks.
* 2nd shade is shimmery pink highlight. It can b use also as a blush topper.
* 3rd shade is gorgeous copper highlight. I would not use it as a highlight though coz I am way to pale but OMG it is gorgeous! and so pigmented in one swipe. If you can dust very light handed on the skin I bet it would look breathtaking!
* 4th shade is tanned peachy nude blush. This shade is matte with no shimmer or sparkles whatsoever. This could be use as a bronzer or ca be topped with that coppery shade (they do look pretty together)

Overall I been really enjoying this palette. The shades are pigmented and they do blend nicely.
If you like shimmery shades and highlights give it a try. I actually think this palette will be great for travels as well :) The palette comes in a standard black packaging that is a fingerprints magnet :(
You can purchase palette at MakeupRevolution USA website, Ulta.Com and Ulta Stores
Price $10

Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipsticks ~ Lipsticks in pretty rose gold packaging. The tubes remind me of MAC bullets but these are much lighter then MAC ones. I got my in Chauffeur and Diamond Life.
Chauffeur is pretty rosy nude shade.
Diamond Life is dark berry red. Not as dark as it looks in a tube but its this prefect berry color that everyone needs.

Lipsticks are super creamy and non drying. they can be build up or you can even layer them up with lips glosses and so on. I actually love Chauffeur, such a prefect nude!  Diamond life I was a bit scared ... When you look at the tube you see how dark the color is. But once swatched looks really pretty on!
The price point? you can beat it! $5 and you got a pretty looking lipstick with a long wear (4h tops for me ). There are I think 3 more shades in the collection and I am thinking of getting them too ! totally a #lipstickhoarder.

All can be purchase at Makeup Revolution Website , Ulta.Com and Ulta stores

Amazing Cosmetics~ Amazing Concealer Hydrate ~ review

*pr sample*

This Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer Hydrate is one of newest addition to Amazing Cosmetics Concealer family. Introduced in 2016 is becoming one of my favorites! I have been using it for past two weeks and I cant get enough of it. 

It is housed in pink, yes pink! metallic tube.

It is super creamy and blends like a dream. It have a sheer coverage but you can build it up if you have too. I really don't need full coverage so this is perfect for the time being. It applies so smoothly, it litterly melts into your skin and blends so easy. I didn't notice ant creasing and it wears all day. 

I apply under my eyes, my forehead and bridge of my nose. Blend with beauty blender or complexion brush, then set with powder. I really like the look I get. Like it said once you blend out the coverage is sheer but you can build it up. I do that sometimes under my eyes and no matter how many layers I put it won't crease. As the name suggest it hydrates your skin. I didn't notice any drying or flaking with it. You can even cover your blemishes with it. 

Formula contains Vitamin A and E that helps reduce appearance of fine lines and any signs of aging.

Definitely give it a shot and try this one out. It is in my top 5 of best concealers! 

You can purchase it at : Amazing Cosmetics Website, Sephora and Ulta.

Price $32

Bath And Body Works ~ My Complate Semi Annual Sale Haul

Hi loves!

I love when BBW have a semi annual sales ! You can stock up on all your favorites! And another great part of the sale is that they bring back disconnected fragrances. 

I have to admit I don't usually go to sales coz I have way enough form other sales that I didn't used up.

Glam Princess by Vera Wang ~ New favorite Perfume

My newest purchase Glam Princess By Vera Wang. Truly Glam :) I already own Rock Princess, which I talk more about here. 

Compared to Rock Princess, Glam Princess is sweeter and more day time. Rock princess is more of a night scent. 

Anyways I am a big fun of Vera's Princess Fragrances and cant wait to add more to my collection. I don't know about you but I love perfumes. 

Glam Princess is 4th Princess released in Princess collection. She is sweet and adorable. I actually am not a fan of sweet perfumes but she reminds me a bit of Ari, you know that sweet marshmallow note :) but it is not as sweet as Ari.  It is crispier and have a freshest of fruits in it. 

Top Notes: Crushed Red Berries, Guava, Sparkling Pear

Heart Notes: Orange Blossom. Vanilla Orchid

Base Notes: Ambrette, Marshmallow, Cashmere Woods

The scent is amazing. I been really enjoying it. Not overpowering.As soonest you spay it opens with burst so sparkling fruits.The  dry down trail is a mix of cashmere woods and vanilla marshmallow. I just wish the scent would stay a bit longer... I been carrying it with me to reapply :) Call me crazy but men this fragrance is something! 

Now can we talk about bottle? All I can say it is a fairy tale come to life. I have to say this reminds me so of Belle form Beauty and the Best. Right?? Heart shaped bottle is yellow just like a Belle's famous dress. Then we have a gold crown with multicolored gems. Again like with a rock princess once you take a crown off there is a ring that you can wear :) What else I love about the bottle are the pink stars :) and the box itself is a keeper :) Definitely I need to display it.

yes I am a huge fan of this scent. Its glam and magical. This could be a great scent for any teenage girl. It might be a bit to sweet for older ladies but hey I am almost 30 and I am digging it :0
