Gimme Sum Suga!

So as I was going round passing out Von Marie's lip butter samples, my friend,Patrice (aka Danja) was setting up her own hand & foot scrub samples. I love that my friends and family are so talented! Well, mainly cz I get first dibs,ha!

It came in the cutest lil container, just enough for a week's worth of use. Which is perfect for testing out. Then i noticed the scent, I got the mango flavor - aaaaahhhhh-mazing! I almost ate it... o_O ... no judgement.

Now, let me start off by confessing my heels aren't the smoothest, yet not kick rocks in open toe sandals hard either lol. Even after a pedi sesh I still feel like I need to get myself a Ped-Egg but I digress, I may not need one now since this scrub really got in there & tackled the hard spot. Ok, I know, gross, but seriously,great stuff! So the next time I used it the roughness was virtually gone! I think my bew would be willing to touch my feet again. Danja, I think you got my groove back! haha! My cousin got a sample as well in the Spice scent. Didn't get her review yet but she absolutely loves the smell of it. Danja's Instagram photos have a collage of notes of her customers raving about her scrubs wanting more, more, more!

Gimme Sum Suga scrubs come in various container sizes & scents..or should I say flavors if I end up eating it?lol. Flavors such as, Mango Butter, Lavender, Lemongrass, Spice and many more... I believe you can also request a scent! How great is that?! Prices vary from $5-$15. You may contact Patrice for her fabulous scrubs at Danjawto@gmail.com subject line: Gimme My Suga!

Happy scrubbing!

Von Marie's

For my first posting ever I will dedicate it to my mother. What perfect timing! 

*this was previously posted on Mother's Day ☺*

Von Marie's makes her own natural skin & bath care products. I have been raving about my mother's hand mixed Scrumptious all natural sugar face & body scrub for a while now. I will take the scrub in the shower with me & come out silky. As for my face,due to my combination skin its hard to stick with one product. I have flaky, dry skin sometimes oily. Although this contains a variety of oils, you would think I it wouldn't work for me. But it does! The scrub takes care of the embarrassing flaky skin & the oil smooths it out. No need for any other product after it. On top of that I smell, well.. brown sugar scrumptious!

When I don't have time to scrub I'll use the Shea & Emu oil butter. I don't need much at all. It's the right consistency of thickness to keep the dry & peeling at bay instantly. I put this on my T-zone which is my most problem area and moisturize the rest of my face with L'Oreal Hydra-Renewal cream. Works for the whole day. There's another face butter I have yet to try. It's the same ingredients but including tea tree oil with will clear out any bacteria on the face.

She also sent me a couple all natural lip butters. I will be passing a few out to some lucky blog winners ( ok .. really, they're just friends lol) to try out. I, of course already have and of course I love it. The lip butter goes on clear for now. I would definitely recommend these to come in tasteful flavors and color. Right now, these are samples so no additives yet. They feel so moisturizing, I put this on over my favorite lipstick, no need for extra gloss because it already leaves a nice shine.

That's all I have time to rave on for now on that. This is my first review, first blog, first posting ever so please take it easy on me lol! This will be a surprise to my mom since I haven't spoken to her yet (her fault, she hasn't called me back smh!).

Mom, I love you more than anything! Thank you for everything have done,you are & will be. YOU make me proud!!

Beauty Raves & Saves!

I am such a frugalista! I dont get too deep into it with making it a full time job but I do love a bargain. It’s about being smart with where you shop and hanging on to that paper! I really will never understand paying full price for something when you can get it for less. What does it matter? When my pockets is fatter…..*ok let me freestyle… ya, that’s all I got* I’m actually proud that I’ve never been hung up on name brands. All that to say, this section I will be telling you my steals & deals. Products I’ve purchased for less & where.



Coastal Scents

Whether you are a beginner or building up your make-up kit you don't always have to get the latest expensive products. There's a way to build for less. I recommend using Coastal Scents.I got this set from CS for about $50 *free shipping*. The 22 Piece Brush Set is awesome!! The brushes are beautiful. It comes with every brush that you'll need to create amazing looks!! It's perfect for traveling. The face brushes come with a brush guard to keep their shape. The Essential Dream set includes a 5 pc brush set, a lightweight, creamy primer w/ a hint of sheen.The Creative Me #2 Palette, a collection of 12 eye-defining shadow options. Reach Mascara & a bottle of Pristine Cleansing Blend. This is clearly a beauty save! 

This isn't my first purchase from CS. I own the Camouflage palette, the 88 Original palette & Ultra Shimmer palette. I don't know what I would do without these palettes. I use them everyday. I eventually want to own all the sets.Great quality products for less than half the price of high end brands. What I love most is there is always a sale, especially around a holiday which is when I would order something.
