mark.com Products Haul/Review

I recently purchased & received skincare products from mark.com & decided I would do a haul/review. These are the products I chose & have been using daily:

That's Deep Purifying Gel Cleanser: This soap-free cleanser banishes pore cloggers & I love how gentle it is on my sensitive skin ♥ It's blended with black willow bark extract to promote a clear & smooth surface & sugar maple to boost skin's natural exfoliation. I also love the fresh scent! I wash my face twice daily (morning & night) and three times when I workout.

Berry Grand Super Exfoliating Beads: This product contains cranberry & pomegranate seeds combined with apricot seed powder & oil-absorbing rice powder. I definitely don't like the smell but do like how I can control the amount of beads I mix with the cleanser & how it gently massages my face. I use the exfoliating beads at least once a day.

Get Clearance Anti-Acne Blemish Treatment Gel: I LOVE this stuff ♥ This product contains salicylic acid with a powerful mix of black willow bark & sugar cane to keep excess oil under control. It goes on clear & doesn't leave my skin dry. I've definitely seen results after using this for only a few days. Hopefully, I'll continue to see improvements! I apply the gel twice daily (morning & night).

For my first ever YouTube video I've decided to recreate a celebrity inspired look. I've chosen two of Nina Dobrev's Seventeen Magazine photos & I'm gonna incorporate both of the looks into one. I love the total look from photo #1 (hair, makeup, outfit, & accessories). I love her big chunky ring & nails from photo #2. I think Nina is so gorgeous ♥

I'm gonna record the video Friday & hopefully have it edited & published by Saturday. I'll definitely keep ya'll posted!

XOXO ♥

August Faves ♥

Okay, so I know I'm a bit late but I wanted to share my favorites for August. These are hair/makeup products I recently purchased & have been using daily:

Herbal Essences None of Your Frizzness smoothing leave-in creme: This conditioning anti-frizz potion is fused with extracts of mandarin balm & pearls. The nourishing moisturizers leave my strands smooth all day long & has a yummy scent!


Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly mousse for easy tousling: This stuff smells like wild violet & pomegranate! It's really lightweight & doesn't leave my hair crunchy which I love ♥


Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly tousling spray gel: This frizz blasting spray gel keeps my hairstyle messy without being sticky. It leaves my hair soft & touchable!


Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly flexible style hairspray: This stuff has a fabulous violet splash fragrance & flexible formula that leaves my tousled hair touchable...not stiff. It's definitely my fave hairspray!


Leighton Meester uses the Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly collection & I love her hair ♥

Hard Candy Kaleyedescope Baked Eyeshadow Duo in Ab Fab: It's a perfect palette of highly pigmented wet/dry shadow baked on a terracotta disk to preserve color. It instantly brings color to my eyes & is only $6.00 at Walmart!


Hard Candy 1,000 Lashes fiberized lash weave mascara in Divine Purple: It lengthens & volumizes my lashes with a tint of purple that really makes my brown eyes pop. I heart this stuff ♥ and it's only $9.00 at Walmart! I didn't see this product on the Hard Candy or Walmart websites so maybe it's only sold in select stores.

I've also been burning a Mainstays Sweet Pea scented candle everyday that I purchased at Walmart which makes my room smell really good. Let me know your August favorites!

XOXO,
Jenroxursox
