My Review

This creamy moisturizing Retinol Cream has a very thick texture to it. You do not need to use a lot of it. I have never tried any kind of Retinol creams until I used this product so I wasn't sure how much to use. The first night I used this product I put a boat load on my face and ended up having an extremely greasy face and woke up to small pimples. The second night I used this product I didn't use as much Retinol Cream, but it was still too much. I woke up again with even more pimples popping up. I was getting very upset about this whole thing and wanted to stop taking immediately. But, all in all, it was me who wasn't applying it properly..so I decided to take a break on the third night of using this product. I did notice when researching Retinol, that people that are new to this regimen tend to apply every other night and then go from there. So I decided to swing that way also!

I now am using this product every few nights and then I will skip one night, etc. I know the right amount to use on my face. I use the least amount possible. I have combination skin and even using the least amount possible I still end up with a greasy looking face (in my T zone area). I am super glad that this is a night cream because if this cream was made to be used during the day I would totally opt out.

The one thing that I have noticed is that my skin appearance is more hydrated looking. I honestly haven't noticed any other sudden changes, but normally with Retinol Creams, people don't see any changes for weeks. So I will continue using this product and once I see changes I will make sure to edit this review!!  I can definitely deal with that!!

My Review

I started using face masks at a young age and have been hooked since. I have tried various types of face masks by a variety of different brands. I have come across ones that I despised and have found ones that I fit into my face wash schedule on a regular basis. It only makes sense that I would do a review on a face mask!!

First and foremost, I love Valentia's Ultra Plumping Hydration Face Mask!!! 

I have been using this product twice a week so I can really reap the benefits from this awesome face mask. I wash my face first and then apply this face mask to my face. (I keep it away from my eyes.) I normally let it on my face for 15-20 minutes. At first I feel a small cooling sensation and as the minutes go on it turns into a small tingling sensation. Its not over-powering or anything, it feels relaxing. I love the fact that it tingles because I feel like its doing something magical on my skin. 

I use a warm damp washcloth and gently remove it. After I remove the face mask I can already feel and see the benefits of this product!! My face looks and feels smoother. It gives my face a small radiant glow. I have combination skin so any product that says it hydrates the skin I tend to cringe because I have bad results with other products. This product hydrates my face completely, but not to the point where my face begins looking greasy. 

I honestly am not positive on what scent this product is supposed to smell like, but it does have a very light sweet smell to it. 

This jar of amazing goodness will last you long a time. You don't need a real thick layer on your face and a small amount will cover your whole face. I love that idea because I know I'll be using it for a while!!

I would highly recommend this product to anyone that wants to bring life back into their face. Check it out here! #ValentiaUltraPlumpingHydrationMask

My Review!

I will admit I was very hesitant to try this product out because I've heard some horror stories about doing any kind of Detox's/ Body cleanses. But, I buckled down and decided to try it out for myself and if I had any horror stories along the way..then that would just make a new exciting chapter to my book, called life.

These Colon & Total Body Cleanse pills are very easy to take. They don't have a bad taste attached to them-at all!! They don't even have a bad smell to them either. Since they are in a capsule they go down very easily.

Day One: I only took one capsule because I was still kind of scared about dealing with some nasty side effects. I drank with 8 ounces of water. I ate my lunch about 2 hours after taking the capsule. After I ate I did experience some uncomfortable feelings in my stomach. I began to feel a tiny bit nauseated. About 45 minutes later I went to the bathroom and after that I felt perfectly fine!! 

Day Two: I decided to live a little and took one capsule in the morning and one capsule in the evening. I didn't experience any bad side effects. I was able to use the bathroom with no problems!

Day Three: Since the day before wasn't too bad I decided to take 2 capsules again. One in the morning and one in the evening. I was able to use the bathroom, again, with no problems! My stomach was starting to feel and look less "bloaty". That was an awesome feeling!!

Day Four: Took one in the morning and one in the evening. My stomach still felt and looked less bloaty. I also was noticing a small amount of extra energy that I normally wouldn't have through-out the day. 

Day Five: Took the normal dose that I was taking. I still was experiencing extra energy and no stomach bloat. I was beginning to feel like a new person.

Day Six: Took the normal dose I was taking. I did notice that I lost one pound!! So that was cool. I still had extra energy and no bloat!! I also wasn't feeling nearly as "sluggish" in the afternoons like I normally would.

I only used this product for 6 days and I reaped some awesome benefits!! I am totally happy with the way things turned out. I felt like it was a total body jump-start!! I haven't taken for a few days and I still feel awesome!! I would recommend this product to anyone that deals with the horrible sluggish blues, that always feels bloated, that just wants a whole body reboot!!

Ways to apply eyeliner

I am only speaking from personal experience when I say, applying eyeliner can tend to be a grunting annoyance. There are times that I have planned to try the cat eye look..only to be majorly disappointed because I end up looking like I got into a fight with a cat. Then the eye liner is stuck on my face and I have to wash it off..which means I have to wash off all of the makeup that I've already done. So then I get frustrated and just apply my normal routine makeup. 

 This is a perfect example of what I go through every time I try the cat eye look!! I am 100% sure there are other ladies out there that experience this too!!

Step ONE:

You need to find an eyeliner that your comfortable with and one that works best on what kind of look you are trying to accomplish. There are a bunch of different brands and types to try! There is cream, pencil, or liquid eyeliner. You also should put into consideration the color of eyeliner you are choosing. The color pallet for eyeliners is limitless!! You can choose from black, dark brown, or wild crazy cool colors. :) 

If you are looking to accomplish a smooth, fine line look then a cream or liquid eyeliner is the way to go!

If you want that smudgy, blurred look then a pencil eyeliner would work best.

DIY eyeliner:

Powered Eyeliner

Few Drops of Water

Eyeliner Brush

Step TWO:

What kind of look are you going to try?

There is all sorts of different ways to apply eyeliner. Are you going to try something bold and beautiful or just play it safe with the classic look?

Step THREE:

RULE OF THUMB!! You should always apply your makeup on first before you start applying your eyeliner. 

The Dot Method

Instead of just trying to draw a line..which in most cases will end up one side is thicker than the other side. Use the dot method! At the inner corner of eye place a small dot. At the middle of your eye place a large dot. And at the end of your eyelid place a medium dot. Then slowly and steadily connect the dots!! Once you have mastered this skill..applying eyeliner will seem like less of a hassle and become more of a fun routine!!

Cat Eyeliner

Step ONE:

Find your wing!! 

Hold a brush (or a slim object) against the side of your nose and angle it until it points to the very end of your eyebrow. That will be the line that you want your wing to follow!! The one reason the cat eyeliner look can be so discouraging is because the wings aren't identical and it is pretty easy to mess them up. You will need to make the length, how wide it is, and the type of angle you are doing all the same!

Remember: DO NOT pull your skin whenever you are drawing your wing!!!

Step TWO:

Make a small dot to show where the tip of your wing will be. Make sure that the dots on both sides LINE up!! This is very crucial!! If they don't line up..then once your done doing the cat eyeliner..I promise you it will NOT balance out and you will have to redo them. 

Step THREE:

Draw a line that connects the dot to the outer corner of your eye and then continue to draw a line that connects the dot to the middle of your upper lash line. (This ends up being the outline of your wing.)

At this point, if your like me, then you should get out your q-tips and clean up any unwanted messes!!

Step FOUR:

Draw a thin line along your upper lash line..you can use the dot method here if that is easier for you. On the upper lash line you can always keep it thin or make it thicker. 

Step FIVE:

Start thickening the line a little bit. You want to do this because you need to make your line wider toward the outer corner of your eye.

Step SIX:

Fill in your wing!! 

After you are done with your eyeliner..apply your mascara!!

You can use eyeliner to achieve many different effects!!

In the picture below, are some tips on how to accomplish special effects to your eyes!! 

Try to have fun with it!!

Trying out different ways to apply makeup can be fun!! I wouldn't suggest trying out anything new when your in a quick rush to get out the door. I would try it whenever you have some time to get ready or even on a day you aren't going to be going out. Don't make applying makeup a task..make it a fun creative fun time for just YOU!!

My Review!!!

Here is my BEFORE picture.

Here is my AFTER picture.

I was so glad that I was able to review this product. The years of being young flew by me and within a blink of an eye...all of a sudden I am almost 30 years old. I have been noticing some not-so-pleasant changes as my years keeping adding up! The one main change that I am downright embarrassed about is my widow's peak hair loss. Growing up I never even had a widows peak!! So you can only imagine the surprise when I first noticed it!! I haven't worn my hair back slick tight in a few years now because of this issue. I have only been using this product for 2 weeks now and I have noticed a huge difference!! My hair is beginning to fill in the widow peak hole!! I will definitely be buying more of this product because I have found an embarrassment life saver! I am going to continue to use this product and I will post more pictures up in the future. So keep an eye out for them!! I would recommend this product, hands down, to anyone that is dealing with hair loss because this product actually works!! 
I will admit I did go through a coloring my hair all sorts of colors and bleaching it all the time frenzy in my mid 20's. Ever since then my hair has been very damaged. Tons upon tons of split ends, the texture feels like straw, frizz everywhere, and it just looks unhealthy to a T.Since I started using this product my hair is becoming to look healthier also!! It still gets frizzy, but I have naturally wavy hair. My frizz has dropped dramatically. I am beginning to get a small amount of shine back to it. Whenever I use this product its like watching my hair slowly come back to life and I LOVE IT!!! Anyone out there with damaged hair..this product will seriously bring it back to life!! I am so thrilled with all of the results that I've seen with this product so far. You need to check this product out for yourself! 

The scent that I chose was Ginger & Saw Palmetto. I really enjoy the smell of it. It reminds me of an earthy smell. I will warn you that when you are washing it out please make sure you do not get it into your eyes!! 

After I massage it into my scalp and let it sit for 20 minutes I begin to feel a slight tingly sensation. It doesn't hurt or feel bad at all. I kind of like it because I know its in the works of fixing my bad hair problems!! 

AWESOME PRODUCT!!!

My Review on Valentia's Glow Eye Cream

Wow, this product worked amazingly!! I am 100% satisfied with the results. I have tried all sorts of different Eye Creams to help diminish my dark circles and I have never seen results. The other Eye Creams would help with puffiness or help hydrate underneath my eyes, but my dark circles would always stay. Since I've never seen the results that I was looking for I had been pretty skeptical whenever it came to any type of Eye Creams. This product has changed my skepticism thoughts..they are now in the past. I am sooo glad that I received a chance to review Valentia's Glow Eye Cream because it has changed my life. I have only been using this product for a few weeks, so I can only imagine the positive possibilities that are awaiting me by continuing this Eye Cream regimen. Not only did it take away my horrible dark circles, but it has dramatically brighten my eyes up!! Even when I am tired I seem to manage to still look awake. My eyes feel refreshed, renewed, glowing!! I would recommend this product to anyone that deals with that horrible dark circle syndrome!! I can go a day without applying concealer to them and not feel embarrassed anymore.
