Tone Blueberry Antioxident Body Wash

Ok you guys I purchased Tone's Blue Berry Anti Oxident Body Wash yesterday at my local walmart after spending a lot of time smelling other body washes in the aisle /Initially I was going to stick with my Pomegranate & Mango Soft Soap Body Wash which I heart but I kept smelling Tone's new one ....I know Im not the only ones that does that but for ($3.00) I was able to stick to my budget and enjoy a body wash that could deliver a scent so delightful that has staying power after you shower or bathe. I hate a body wash that is whimpy and does not leave the bathroom smelling good moments after. This body wash will leave your skin soft because it has vitamins A&E and the blueberries are a potent antioxident that you not only enjoy in smoothies but now you can enjoy on your skin. I also like that it does not leave your skin feeling tight like other body washes or dry ..... So please give it a smell and purchase it at your local walmart or drugstore you will not be dissapointed at all .....Im usually picky on what I put on my skin but this is a winner !

My new favorite body spray by Victoria Secret

Product Details:Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Body Double Mist is a light fragrance mist that comes in a wide, clear plastic bottle with a chrome-y plastic, non-removable pump sprayer. It has a wide, clear plastic cap that snaps off and on. Like the other Beauty Rush Body Double Mists, the Slice Of Heaven Body Double Mist has two layers. One is a somewhat oily-looking layer (but it's not really oily) and the other layer looks like water. The oily-looking layer is yellow (which is probably supposed to be the color of yellow cake, which is what this product smells like). Before this product is sprayed onto the body, the bottle should be shaken to combine the two layers.Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Slice Of Heaven Body Double Mist comes in just one size, which is 8.4 oz. In addition to the Slice Of Heaven scent, the Beauty Rush Body Double Mist also comes in Coconut Craze, Juiced Berry, Appletini, Candy Baby and Honey Do. And in addition to the Body Double Mist, the Slice Of Heaven scent is available in Body Drink Lotion, 3-in-1 Wash, Body Souffle Moisture Cream and Lip Gloss.From the product's packaging: A doubly sweet hydration sensation! Two layers of skin conditioners and fragrance mix things up for soft, scented skin. Shake well, spritz on and get sweet with the Slice Of Heaven scent.Ingredients (taken from packaging):Alcohol denat., cyclopentasiloxane, cyclohexasiloxane, water, fragrance, dimethicone, benzophenone-3, benzyl benzoate, yellow 10, yellow 6.My Experience:I have always loved vanilla scents, and when the more "foody" scents started to come out into the marketplace, I soon had a large collection of "foody" scents like buttercream frosting, cotton candy and other sweet scents. So when I found the Slice of Heaven scent in the Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush line, I was hooked on it immediately. This is a scent that you wouldn't wear on a job interview, but it's very versatile and is a scent that men love!First, I love the look of the packaging of the Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Double Mist. I love the wider, larger bottle that is so different from the taller, thinner bottles that most body mists come in these days. It has more of a 1970's retro look with its wide cap and scrawly, cursive writing on the front of the bottle. I think it's a very attractive bottle. Also adding to the attraction of this product is the two layers. OK, so we aren't kids and we don't need to "play" with our beauty products, but I still like to play with the Body Double Mist and like to watch the two layers mix together in an "oil and water" type of way.The Slice of Heaven scent is nothing short of divine. It's amazingly realistic. It smells EXACTLY like yellow cake without the frosting. And I'm not talking about a boring, dry yellow cake. It smells like moist, rich, yellow cake with extra vanilla flavoring added in. Every time I wear this product, I crave cake. It's a comforting scent but is also a bit festive in its own way. It will atract men like crazy be aware. Women also love it and this is even something that I can see young girls wearing - or any female of any age, really.Applying the Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Slice Of Heaven Body Double Mist is a breeze. The pump sprayer is great and does not spray out a ton of the body mist and doesn't release a huge cloud of mist with it. It squirts out some of the mist but thankfully it doesn't produce a big, gag-inducing cloud of scent. Despite having a bit of an oily appearance, this product does not have an oily texture at all and applies just like any other fragrance mist. Unfortunately, the Body Double Mist does not soften the skin like it claims to. It doesn't dry out the skin, though, thankfully - but it doesn't have the skin-softening properties that the folks at Victoria's Secret would like us to think that it has.The scent of Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Slice Of Heaven Body Double Mist really doesn't last too long on the skin once it's applied. It lasts about 30 to 60 minutes before it has to be re-applied in order for the scent to be detectable. I don't have time to re-apply it every 30 to 60 minutes, so I re-spray it when I think about it. The scent does last a bit longer when it's applied on top of the Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Body Drink Lotion, but using it with the lotion will only only get you another 15 to 30 minutes or so. Overall, the Slice Of Heaven scent is the best scent in the entire Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush line. I love everything about this Body Double Mist and use it frequently. If you like vanilla or cake scents (without the frosting notes), you will very likely love the Slice Of Heaven scent. I do wish that this product had a longer-lasting scent, but I'm not that upset about it and am just glad to have a nice, yellow cake scent in my huge collection of bath and body products. This would make a great gift for someone who loves vanilla or "foody" scents and is great for any female of any age.Price and Purchasing Information:Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Slice Of Heaven Body Double Mist is normally priced at $12 but is frequently on sale along with the other Beauty Rush products for 3/$25. This product can be purchased at Victoria's Secret and Victoria's Secret Beauty stores and online at VictoriasSecret.com.

My favorite scent is Honey Do it smells just like honey dew melon and drives my husband and my puppie Ritchie crazy. It makes the whole house smell like a fruit stand. My second favorite is the Coconut Craze it smells like a cross between coconut and a cinnamon bun mmmm yummy

Africas Best Relaxer

So I went to my local walmart and picked up a relaxer. Usually I wait 6-8 weeks to have my hair permed. I also usually get it professionally permed at the salon. This time I decided to do it myself. Among my favorite do it yourself perms are Soft & Beautiful Botanicals no lye relaxer for sensitive scalps or Dr. Miracles relaxer. This time I tryed Africas Best relaxer with no lye it has real african botanicles and extra virgin olive oil. After letting the relaxer stay on for 15-20minutes becasue my hair is super curly and thick -my hair was so straight and smooth. The perm really gets your hair soft and conditions it. For $4.95 you get your moneys worth. You will not be dissapointed at all. I also like their leave in conditioner that comes inside the box with the activator and shampoo- it had a pleasant fruity smell to it. I cant wait to see the end result when my hair is actually styled later today at the salon. I will post up some pictures for all to see. Dont wait if your hair is on the hard to manage side or (nappy) go get this!

Make Up Tips To Consider

What Works
1. If you have found just the right color makeup, then consider yourself lucky. Even if you have been so fortunate, be prepared to alter your makeup shade as your complexion changes with the seasons. Have two shades handy to alternate during the winter and summer months. Mix if necessary to get the ideal shade.
Beauty Tip: Even with the endless foundation options on the market, it can still be difficult to find your perfect shade. Don’t be afraid to mix-up your own foundation to get just the right color for you. If your complexion seems to fit in between the mocha and the latte that your makeup brand offers, mix-up some mocha latte!
2. Definitely mix-up eye shadows for a beautiful, effortless appearance. Choose colors that compliment one another and will blend well. Start darker at the lashes and go light towards the brow.
Beauty Tip: Just smearing on color doesn’t work. The key to flawless eye shadow is to blend, blend and blend some more. Be especially careful when using shadows with heavy or bright pigments. Try mixing a 2-3 different complimentary shades of shadow in each application and use a shadow brush to blend them into perfection.
3. To get perfect voluminous lips, requires a little mixing. Simply apply your favorite color gloss to the entire lip then add a lighter gloss to the center of your lips. Gently pat your lips together to perfectly blend the two shades. This combo gives a phenomenal 3-D shine!
Using lip liner? Always match your lip liner to your complexion or to your lipstick. Liner should keep your lipstick from smudging beyond your lip line and should be virtually undetectable. In either case, matching your liner to your skin or to your lip color allows the liner to seamlessly blend.
Beauty Tip: Avoid using dark lip liners completely! Your liner should be the color of your lipstick or the color of your lips. Dark liner can make your lips look dirty. Remember, the purpose of lip liner is to define the lip area so that your gloss or lipstick doesn’t smudge beyond your lips. If you invest in a good flesh toned liner you can wear it with all your favorite lipstick shades.

What Doesn't Work
1. Never try to match your makeup with your outfit. The purpose of makeup is to highlight your best features, not your outfit. Choose makeup shades that compliment your skin tone and how you feel. For instance, if you’re wearing a sun dress and feeling feminine, wear softer makeup. If you’re wearing a red pumps and feeling wild, match that up with edgier makeup choices.
2. Usually in the world of beauty, anything that’s too “matchy-matchy” is risky. However, it’s a good idea to match your nail polish with your toenail polish for a well put together look. It’s chic and it shows that you take time for you.
3. Over worked face – A well made up face won’t include a ton of makeup, heavy eye shadow, deep lips and face glitter… that’s just too much. An over worked face tends to look old. Keep your look fresh and young by picking one feature to focus on and accentuate it. Let the rest of the makeup compliment that focal point.
Don’t be a beauty felon. Remember makeup should enhance the positive and conceal the negative. Try avoiding these tragic mistakes and make it work!

Back To Mac Program

MAC cosmetics are amongst some of my bigger vices in life. I may be able to count on one hand the number of times I’ve been able to visit their counter (or store) and walk away without buying something. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I first started using their products and learned of the Back to MAC program.
The program is an initiative to encourage customers to recycle cosmetic containers. For every six primary packaging containers brought to a MAC counter or returned through MAC Cosmetics Online, you will receive a free lipstick. Some independent MAC stores even offer you a choice between a complimentary lipstick, eyeshadow or lipgloss. Be sure to check with the store you visit to verify what they offer.
MAC then ensures the returned containers are distributed to appropriate waste management centers. In case you’re wondering, primary packaging is the container that actually holds the makeup (secondary packaging would be the paper box or wrapping) and if you still aren’t sure, you can visit their website to ensure your containers are eligible for the program. In their ongoing commitment to the environment, the company also uses minimal packaging and recycled paper in their offices, manufacturing and distribution facilities. As well, vegetable-based inks are used for printing when possible.


I went to the Mac pro store tonight and had empty eyeshadow containers, powders, lipstick, primer, and foundation which came out to 18 total. I was able to get 3 lip gloss, eyeshadow or lipsticks. I chose to get lipgloss- I picked oyster girl (lipglass), echantress (lip glass), and the new (dazzle glass) in money talks which is my favorite right now.


UPDATE: MAC now requires that all eye shadows be returned with complete packaging. This means the metal pan must be turned in along with all other plastic parts.Back 2 MAC Program InfoBack 2 MAC Online: http://www.maccosmetics.com/customers...Most primary packaging of M·A·C products is accepted as Back to M·A·C "currency." M·A·C does not accept the following as a part of the program: 1. Secondary packaging of any sort [paper box, plastic/cellophane wrapper, shopping bags, etc.]2. Samples [sample containers, special/trial size products for promotional/seasonal kits]3. Cosmetic applicators/tools [disposables, puffs, sponges, scissors, spatulas, swabs, sharpeners, tweezers, curlers]4. Accessories [bags, belts, makeup cases, lashes, Blot Film]. M·A·C accepts returns of its primary packaging through the Back to M·A·C Program. By returning six [6] M·A·C primary packaging containers to a M·A·C counter or M·A·C Cosmetics Online, you receive a free M·A·C Lipstick of your choice as our thanks to you. Since 100% of the retail selling price of Viva Glam Lipsticks is provided to organizations that help people living with HIV/AIDS, these colours are excluded from this program.

Soft Soap Honeysuckle and Orange Peel Body Wash

I started using Softsoap's Honeysuckle and Orange Peel Body Wash and I'm hooked!!! It's a very light, flowery scented wash. Its 18 fl oz and will cost you about $5.49 but totally worth it. Its been about two weeks and Im almost already out of it because I dont use it as a body wash -I literally bathe in the stuff. It may not be for everyone, I know of some people who complain that scents like honeysuckle and jasmine are too "old-ladyish" for them, but I personally like this unique shower gel. I love the feminine but not overpowering scent of the fresh honeysuckle mixed with the tangy orange undernote. It's lightly moisturizing without being greasy or oily and the scent isn't too heavy.
