From My Beauty Box: Moisturizers!

Winter is hard on the skin... here are some of my favorite moisturizers to fight off the flakes!

BODY:

MALIBU TAN

HEMP BODY MOISTURIZER    $5 -$7

After showering, I use Malibu Tan's Hemp Body Moisturizer. It can be found in original scent, or in several other scents including Tropical Mojito, Acai Berry, and Cherry Almond. I purchase mine at Walmart and the prices range between $5 and $7.

FACE:

CLINIQUE

DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT    $24

I use this product every day after cleansing my face and before makeup application. It can be found in two consistencies, lotion and gel. I have tried both and my personal preference is the gel. I purchase this product at a local department store. If you want to check it out for yourself, here's the link for the lotion, and here's the link for the gel!

CLINIQUE

MOISTURE SURGE    $34

For extremely dry patches, such as the T-Zone or around the nose after a cold, I use Clinique's Moisture Surge. After a day or two of using this, my skin is back to it's healthy state. At 34 bucks for only 1.7oz, this product is a bit pricy. However, if it is only used for extreme dryness it will last quite a while. Also you can use this product rather sparingly as a little will go a long way. I also purchase this product at my local department store. If you would like to read more about it, here's the link!

~H20+

FACE OASIS HYDRATING GEL    $34

I received this moisturizer as a gift and have been using it after cleansing my face, before going to bed. I absolutely LOVE this product! It is a bit pricy at 34 bucks for 1.7oz so I am using it sparingly. If you are looking to splurge on an EXCELLENT facial moisturizer, this is the product for you! Here's the link!

HANDS:

BATH AND BODY WORKS

LAY IT ON THICK HAND CREAM    $13

Use this product before bed and your dry, cracked hands will become soft and smooth! Get it at your local Bath and Body Works! Here's the link!

LIPS:

~H2O+

LIP MENDER    $10

This is the BEST lip mending product I have ever used! Put it on before bed every night and kiss those chapped lips goodbye! Find it online, here's the link!

I hope to be trying out more of the ~H20+ products! Stay tuned for updates!

Nail Designs! Snowmen!

It's time to get festive! Today I decided to show off my creative side with some DIY snowman nails!!

CHECK IT:

First, I started with a background color. I picked a bright blue hue! I did one coat, waited for it to dry, then applied the second coat. This varnish is named "Fresh Water" and I picked it up at Claire's.

Next, I used a white two way nail art pen and brush to draw two circles for the snowman's head and body!

Once the white circles had fully dried, I used a black two way nail art pen and brush to draw two stick arms, two dots for buttons, two dots for eyes, and then a smile. I then used the same product, but in pink, to draw a top hat and scarf!

Once the nails are fully dry, apply a topcoat for shine and longevity!

I used the pen part on the two way varnishes. Simply pull the lid straight up instead of unscrewing!

PRODUCTS USED:

White - $5.50                             Blue - $4.00

Black - $5.50                             Pink - $5.50
