  • Taking a road trip with the homie @bee_pollen_ to attend #bellaswhobrunch in #biloximississippi presented by @sheamoisture. Thank you @gulfcoastnatrls naturals for the invite. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
  • Replenishment haul from @paulaschoice. Snagged a couple bottles of Skin Perfecting BHA and the oil booster. When I was introduced to the brand way back when, it was suggested to mix the retinol with the oil booster and it was definitely a game changer. Been doing it for like 5 years now. I forgot to get my retinol serum 😪 but dah welp.How often do you replenish your skincare stash? What are you running low on right now?#pcglow #paulaschoice #skincaretips #skincare #skincareroutine #heyaprill #savingface #skincareblogger #skincareguru #skincareexpert
  • It's #skincarereview time and today we are gonna talk about the newest product from @dermalogica, Phyto-Nature Firming Serum. This AGE Smart product promises to visibly firm, lift and revitalize skin. This serum is best suited for mature skin, but it’s a serum that anyone could benefit from using.It features Camu Camu (boosts radiance), Moroccan Rockrose Extract (destroys free radicals), and Madagascar Green Coffee Bean (revitalizes) as it's star ingredients. It's important to note some additional ingredients worth a mention, like glycerin, turmeric extract, basil flower extract, lavender flower extract and sodium hyaluronate. The serum is packaged in 1.3 oz pump bottle and dispenses a dual phase serum- an oil texture on the left facing side and a serum texture on the right facing side. The serum has a light, herbal fragrance to it that lingers for about a minute. The serum is lightweight, hydrating and absorbs with ease.How to use: Apply a few drops to your face after you tone. Follow up with your moisturizer. Use Morning and/or evening.Have you tried Dermalogica’s newest serum? Would you drop $145 on this serum? Thinking about purchasing? Questions? Hop in the comments!

  • The fantastic four 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. Peptides for strength, niacinamide for brightening, ceramides for a strong barrier and self confidence because you are gorgeous regardless! Click the #linkinbio to discover Paula’s Choice.Posted @withrepost • @paulaschoice Four ingredients for amazing skin... 💜 Ceramides are naturally occurring long chains of lipids that are major components of skin’s outer layers. They're necessary for their water-retention capacity and giving them to skin helps provide replenishing and restoring benefits. 💚 Niacinamide (vitamin B3) has the ability to visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, dullness and a weakened skin surface. ❤️ Peptides are portions of amino acids; amino acids are the building blocks of protein; and skin is composed primarily of a protein known as keratin. There are different types of peptides that have unique benefits, from improving the appearance of wrinkles to addressing loss of firmness. ✨ Sprinkle in a little self confidence and you're good to go!....#peptides #vitaminb3 #ceramides #niacinamide #meme #oprah #paulaschoice #healthyskin #skincaretips
  • When I visited @pcaskin headquarters a few years back, I learned how truly vital #vitaminc is to any #skincareroutine no matter what concentration you choose to use.Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals, accelerates the production of #collagen and #elastin, prevents premature aging, and inhibits #melanin production. The golden formula for a vitamin C is one that contains ascorbic acid, #ferulicacid, and #vitamine as formulated by @skinceuticals. Only one problem- it’s $166 a bottle. So without further adieu, five vitamin C serums under $25. 🍊 @deciem The Ordinary Vitamin C Suspension 23% + HA Spheres 2% $5.90 🍊@cerave Skin Renewing Vitamin C 🍊@timelesshaskin skincare 20% Vitamin C 🍊@klairs.global Freshly Juiced Vitamin C 🍊@dermae Vitamin E Concentrated Serum.Do you use a vitamin C serum?

  • Hands down, the biggest takeaway of maturity for me has been self-control. Self control for me centered around my beauty stash. I was hoarding y’all.Being the indecisive Gemini ♊️ that I am, I’ll buy a fragrance, love it, then move on to a new scent and leave the once loved fragrance in the dust. I *might* reshop my stash at a later date and give it a few more squirts, but ultimately I never use a whole bottle. In the past, I could swap it on #makeupalley for something else and not feel wasteful, but they closed their doors to swapping and I don’t have a happy place to swap anymore. So my solution to not being wasteful has been roller balls.My flavor of week? @ateliercologne Clementine California Cologne Absolue Pure Perfume 🍊. It’s very bright with top notes of mandarin orange, clementine and juniper berry, middle notes of basil and pepper, and a sandalwood dry down. By the time I move on to a new fragrance, this one will almost be empty. What fragrance are you wearing today? How many fragrances are in your stash?Click the #linkinbio and click this photo to learn more about the fragrance.#fragrancelover #atelier #clementinecalifornia #smellthis #sniffthis #heyaprill #beautybloggers #fragrancebloggers
  • I’ve been back on Instagram consistently for like 3 weeks (yay?) posting #skincaretips, revealing new products and answering your personal skincare questions on #skincarefriyay. Hopefully you’ve learned enough to get you started on a #skincarejourney. I have plenty of info to share, I’m just taking my time getting settled.It’s the end of the month so let’s reflect shall we? How’s your skin?Allegedly it’s fall in #Mississippi but it is still really hot outside. The air is definitely drier, so that’s a plus. At one point during September I had an all out rash I’m gonna blame on my nature of work. After a week of hydrocortisone and a double dose of hyaluronic acid, it’s cleared up and I’m back on my routine.Slowly adding @pcaskin Intensive Brightening Retinol Serum back into my evening routine. I also bought a big tub of @vaselinebrand, so I’m ready when it gets cold. @herbivorebotanicals Prism products have really caught my eye. I’m interested in reading reviews and eventually trying it out. So long story short, my skin is ok. Few pimples here and there but all good. You?
  • File this under: the biggest lie ever told: Hot water opens pores, and cold water closes them. It was an amazing assertion, but it was not truthful. To make matters worse, brands didnt refute the claims, they starting kicking products out into production that claimed to do the same. It's all a lie darlings. Your pores cant open and close. If you know the rest of the words to this song...⁠⠀Hot water CAN melt sebum, making the pores appear smaller, just like ingredients such as #niacinamide and #bha can. It's a great magic trick to know, but accuracy is key. Your pores are not closed, they just appear smaller. Wanna know my favorite product to minimize the look of pores? Click the #linkinbio and click this photo and be lead to the water. Be sure to drink kids.⁠⁠⠀Tag a friend, share the message.
