#texturetuesday featuring the the @ritualsusa ritu #texturetuesday featuring the the @ritualsusa ritual of sakura body care set that #ritualsgiftedme 🌸⁣
⁣
〰 I’ve been using this set for the past few weeks and there’s two things you need to know about it: one, it will give you the SOFTEST skin ever, and two, it smells absolutely amazing.⁣
⁣
〰 it’s a set of three body care items: foaming shower gel,  body scrub, and the body cream. they’re all formulated with the Cherry Blossom + Rice Milk fragrance and they make my shower ritual smell fresh like spring. ⁣
⁣
〰 the foaming shower gel comes out like a shaving cream which I think is really cool - I put it on my exfoliating body towel and it lathers really nicely into a nice silky texture. The scrub is scrubby but not harsh, and I like to use it before shaving so my legs will feel smooth af. My skin feels hydrated and soft after getting out of the shower.⁣
⁣
〰 but the best part of the set to me has got to be the body cream OMG. It’s super thick and creamy and absorbs into my skin so easily. It’s so thick that I think it will last me a super long time.⁣
⁣
〰 what’s ur shower ritual? Do you like to go all out or do u keep it simple? ☁⁣

Is taking care of your immune system part of your Is taking care of your immune system part of your morning self-care routine? It’s part of mine and here’s why. [ad] ⁣
⁣
〰 When I think of self-care I think of taking care of yourself holistically - so yes, it’s doing face masks and enjoying glasses of wine and watching Netflix when you’re having a bad day. But it’s also soooo important to show your body love through taking care of your health, which is why I’ve been incorporating these immune system boosting Elderberry supplements into my morning routine.⁣
⁣
〰 @zhounutrition makes investing in your health accessible and affordable for all with these supplements - not only do they do amazing things for your body, but they also taste super yummy. What I also love is that they’re vegan friendly (no gelatin in these gummies!)⁣
⁣
〰 Elderberry is one of the BEST ingredients for supporting a healthy immune system and it’s always been my go-to whenever I start to feel run-down or if I feel a cold coming on. It’s also just a great supplement to take on the daily to keep your immune system strong and healthy. I take 2 of these gummies every morning, and if I wake up feeling a little under the weather I’ll take a couple teaspoons of the Elderberry syrup throughout the day which has other superstar ingredients like honey, apple cider vinegar, and echinacea. ⁣
⁣
〰 How do you practice self-care and self love? ⁣

👉🏼Let’s talk about bond-building. I never 👉🏼Let’s talk about bond-building.  I never even that was a thing until I started getting my hair done, so it worked out kinda perfectly that #bumbleandbumblegiftedme their new bond-building line recently.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰 I started using this right after I got my hair done and I've been really impressed with this line so far! Something no one really tells you about bleaching your hair (or at least, no one told me) is that it completely changes the texture of your hair.  I was used to never having knots or frizz but once I bleached my hair I started getting INSANE knots after I washed my hair. This time around I wanted to be more prepared for the upkeep of colored hair. All 3 of these products are sulfate-free and color safe (a must if you have colored hair imo) and are made with Bb's Honey Bond-Building Complex that works to build new bonds to strengthen hair, improve elasticity, and help repair damage. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰 Everything in this line smells so yummy and has made my hair feel super soft after washing! I've been using the Repair Treatment once a week and the shampoo + conditioner whenever I wash my hair. I have way fewer knots after showering and my hair looks as healthy as it could despite being bleached. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰 What shampoo + conditioner do you have on rotation right now? If you have colored/dyed/bleached hair, do you specifically look for products made for colored hair? 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✨ happy #manimonday y’all 💅🏼 what’s o ✨ happy #manimonday y’all 💅🏼 what’s  one goal u have for this week? mine is to lower the screen time on my phone cause it’s been REAL high lately. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I recently purchased a few sets of @staticnailsofficial (IT WAS BEFORE MY NO-BUY I SWEAR) and omg i’m so impressed! I was kinda worried they were gonna be a flop but they actually stay on extremely well and literally took less than 5 minutes to apply, which is a big plus for me because there’s nothing I hate more than waiting for nails to dry. I don’t have the time or patience for that. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Also, they’re super affordable and reusable!! So if you’re trying to be a baddie on a budget and can’t afford to go to the salon every 2 weeks (or even go to the nail salon, cause ya know, pandemic) these are just like acrylics but not as harsh on your nails, take 5 mins to apply, and can easily be popped off when you decide you’re over it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ They also come in a lot of fun and classic lengths, shapes, colors and prints, so you’ll def be able to find something that matches your vibe.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ There’s something so iconic about long nails, idk. like as soon as I put these on I felt like THAT BITCH. Please tell me you relate!! The only thing is if you’re a contact wearer taking your contacts out with long nails is probably the hardest thing in the world, but tbh IT’S WORTH IT.
selfie luv 🦋🥰✨ swipe to the end for some p selfie luv 🦋🥰✨ swipe to the end for some prime corgi content ⁣
⁣
〰️ happy valentine’s day lovers!! I haven’t had time to take selfies with my new hair (even though i got it done LITERALLY 3 weeks ago lol) because I’ve been sooo busy with work and taking care of Mocha. It felt so nice to actually get dressed up and take some pics today🥺 ⁣
⁣
✨ What did you guys do today? My bf and I got some vegan lunch and sweets and then went to Target hahaha. It was GORGEOUS in Miami today so we spent a lot of time outside too.
🦋 first impressions @goodhabit rescue me rest + 🦋 first impressions @goodhabit rescue me rest + reset mask & moisturizer // ⁣
⁣
happy saturday night! what are your plans for this evening or tomorrow? @goodhabit recently sent over their newest product for me to test out and I thought I’d give my first impression review today.⁣
⁣
〰️ @goodhabit makes products that help protect your skin against blue light damage, which is something that probably everyone struggles with these days. I know I spend 9+ hours a day on screens for work, not to mention the time I spend on my phone, watching TV, and using my laptop in my free time. ⁣
⁣
〰️ so let’s talk about their new product: the rescue me mask & moisturizer. It’s meant to be used as the last step in your nighttime routine as an overnight mask to help detox your skin and repair blue light damage, to be used a few times a week or if you have drier skin, used every night. This came in the mail earlier this week and I started using it the night I got it because I was so curious!⁣
⁣
〰key ingredients⁣
✨ blue spirulina⁣
✨ hyaluronic acid⁣
✨ blue tansy⁣
✨ceramides⁣
✨evening primrose oil ⁣
✨bakuchiol⁣
⁣
〰 my thoughts: so since this is a first impression I’ve only used this product a few times so far. That said, the few nights I’ve tried this out I’ve really liked it! For one, the texture is absolutely incredible - it’s thick and pudding-like, and it’s a gorgeous blue color thanks to blue sprulina and blue tansy.⁣
⁣
〰 My skin immediately looks glowy and feels smooth after applying this. It dries down quickly and doesn’t feel sticky or tacky Ince my head hits the pillow. In the morning, my skin feels soft but I don’t feel the need to wash it off or anything.  Swipe to see my skin with the mask on (before rubbing it in) and what my skin looks like immediately after applying. ⁣
⁣
I’m definitely going to keep using this a few times a week because my skin seems to really like it so far.⁣
⁣
〰 so what are your thoughts on blue light skincare? Is it a gimmick or is It legit? ↓⁣
⁣
P.S. if you’re interested in trying Good Habit they gave me a discount code to share with you guys - RESET for 15% off :) (non-affiliate)
had a little photoshoot with my vitamins today ✨ had a little photoshoot with my vitamins today ✨⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
happy #wellnesswednesday guys!! we're almost at Friday wooooo⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✨ @livewholier sent me their whole food multi for plant-based people which is essentially a multi-vitamin for vegans.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✨ Disclaimer: I have an 80ish% plant-based diet. I occasionally consume eggs and fish (hellooo, I live in Miami am I /not/ supposed to eat fresh sushi?!), but other than that the majority of the nutrients I get comes from plants.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✨ The biggest concern I had when I stopped eating meat that's still a concern for me today is getting enough vitamins and minerals in my diet. Every year when I get my blood tested I am always low in iron and Vitamin D, which can contribute to a whole bunch of health problems, including being tired ALL.THE.TIME.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✨ My doctor always recommended vitamins but it was sooo hard trying to keep track of what to take and when. At one point I was literally taking 8 different pills a day. I tried using pill cases but I'd inevitably forget to take something. I also was never consistent with it so I still felt exhausted.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✨ Here's the best thing about this @livewholier multi. It has been so easy to remember to just pop two of these bad boys a day and not have to worry about anything else! I've been consistent in taking these because of that, They're infused with a citrus flavor so they smell and taste like Haribo gummy bears (to me at least) which is a welcome surprise when all of the vitamins I used to take smelled horrible and tasted like literal chalk LOL.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Here's what's inside the eco-friendly package (aka everything u need for energy, glowing skin, immune system boost)⁣
✨ Vitamin B12⁣
✨ Iodine⁣
✨ Iron⁣
✨ Omega-3⁣
✨ Vitamin D3⁣
✨ Vitamin K2⁣
✨ Zinc⁣
✨ Selenium⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Do you take a multi? What vitamins and supplements do you take?
👀 how to look like you actually got sleep // #g 👀 how to look like you actually got sleep // #goodalgiftedme their green tangerine vitamin c eye patches and WOW, they couldn’t have come at a better time.⁣
⁣
🌟 As some of you saw in my stories, I just got a puppy (she’s a corgi named Mocha, making an IG highlight for her soon don’t worry) and holy sh*t I haven’t slept AT ALL. She’s lucky she’s cute cause she is tiring me tf out lol 👀⁣
⁣
🌟 Anyway, since I haven’t been sleeping much I feel like it’s really been showing under my eyes so these eye patches have been a lifesaver to make me feel a little more awake and feel a little more put together in the mornings. ⁣
⁣
🌟 They’re formulated with Vitamin C and made of a hydrogel material that is super lightweight and you can barely even see it on the face (so I can wear them in zoom calls lol) ⁣
⁣
🌟 I’ve been keeping mine in the fridge so they have a cooling effect. I really like using these in the mornings to wake my face up and make me feel awake. They also can be worn for as little as 5 minutes, so it’s like a no-brainer to use. ⁣Swipe to see what it looks like on me!
⁣
What’s ur secret to looking awake when you’ve gotten NO sleep? ↓⁣

MY JANUARY NO-BUY RESULTS // ⁣ ⁣ ✨ Hi guys! MY JANUARY NO-BUY RESULTS // ⁣
⁣
✨ Hi guys! Happy Sunday :) Since today is the last day of the month, I wanted to talk about how my no-buy went. What are you guys doing today?⁣
⁣
✨ So, in total I only bought three beauty-related products in all of January. I spent $5 on a conditioner at the grocery store because I left mine at home over the holidays. The other purchase I made was @kiramoonbeauty because DUH! I’ve been waiting for their launch for a LOONG time so I had to check out their products. ⁣
⁣
✨  I plan on doing a more in-depth review on these two products soon (Flowermelon  and Star Jelly) so I’ll keep this short but: I LOVE. The flowermelon serum exceeded my expectations… I didn’t know what to expect in terms of texture but I was so impressed. It smells like melon and it feels so good on wet skin. I like to spray my face with rosewater then pat this into the skin and it makes my face feel soft and dare I say JUICY. Star Jelly is awesome too and it smells like vanilla 🤩⁣
⁣
✨ Anyway, doing a no-buy for January really wasn’t that hard for me, tbh. I was tempted by a few product launches (like those new @rarebeauty blushes..omg) but for the most part I feel like I have everything I need in terms of makeup, skincare, body care, haircare, etc. I also do think it was a lot easier coming from the holidays since I did get a lot of gift sets and whatnot as presents from my family and friends.⁣
⁣
✨ I think I’m going to try and do a no-buy in February as well to keep it up! What do you guys think, are you in? LMK below!

#texturetuesday featuring the the @ritualsusa ritu #texturetuesday featuring the the @ritualsusa ritual of sakura body care set that #ritualsgiftedme 🌸⁣
⁣
〰 I’ve been using this set for the past few weeks and there’s two things you need to know about it: one, it will give you the SOFTEST skin ever, and two, it smells absolutely amazing.⁣
⁣
〰 it’s a set of three body care items: foaming shower gel,  body scrub, and the body cream. they’re all formulated with the Cherry Blossom + Rice Milk fragrance and they make my shower ritual smell fresh like spring. ⁣
⁣
〰 the foaming shower gel comes out like a shaving cream which I think is really cool - I put it on my exfoliating body towel and it lathers really nicely into a nice silky texture. The scrub is scrubby but not harsh, and I like to use it before shaving so my legs will feel smooth af. My skin feels hydrated and soft after getting out of the shower.⁣
⁣
〰 but the best part of the set to me has got to be the body cream OMG. It’s super thick and creamy and absorbs into my skin so easily. It’s so thick that I think it will last me a super long time.⁣
⁣
〰 what’s ur shower ritual? Do you like to go all out or do u keep it simple? ☁⁣

Is taking care of your immune system part of your Is taking care of your immune system part of your morning self-care routine? It’s part of mine and here’s why. [ad] ⁣
⁣
〰 When I think of self-care I think of taking care of yourself holistically - so yes, it’s doing face masks and enjoying glasses of wine and watching Netflix when you’re having a bad day. But it’s also soooo important to show your body love through taking care of your health, which is why I’ve been incorporating these immune system boosting Elderberry supplements into my morning routine.⁣
⁣
〰 @zhounutrition makes investing in your health accessible and affordable for all with these supplements - not only do they do amazing things for your body, but they also taste super yummy. What I also love is that they’re vegan friendly (no gelatin in these gummies!)⁣
⁣
〰 Elderberry is one of the BEST ingredients for supporting a healthy immune system and it’s always been my go-to whenever I start to feel run-down or if I feel a cold coming on. It’s also just a great supplement to take on the daily to keep your immune system strong and healthy. I take 2 of these gummies every morning, and if I wake up feeling a little under the weather I’ll take a couple teaspoons of the Elderberry syrup throughout the day which has other superstar ingredients like honey, apple cider vinegar, and echinacea. ⁣
⁣
〰 How do you practice self-care and self love? ⁣

👉🏼Let’s talk about bond-building. I never 👉🏼Let’s talk about bond-building.  I never even that was a thing until I started getting my hair done, so it worked out kinda perfectly that #bumbleandbumblegiftedme their new bond-building line recently.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰 I started using this right after I got my hair done and I've been really impressed with this line so far! Something no one really tells you about bleaching your hair (or at least, no one told me) is that it completely changes the texture of your hair.  I was used to never having knots or frizz but once I bleached my hair I started getting INSANE knots after I washed my hair. This time around I wanted to be more prepared for the upkeep of colored hair. All 3 of these products are sulfate-free and color safe (a must if you have colored hair imo) and are made with Bb's Honey Bond-Building Complex that works to build new bonds to strengthen hair, improve elasticity, and help repair damage. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰 Everything in this line smells so yummy and has made my hair feel super soft after washing! I've been using the Repair Treatment once a week and the shampoo + conditioner whenever I wash my hair. I have way fewer knots after showering and my hair looks as healthy as it could despite being bleached. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
〰 What shampoo + conditioner do you have on rotation right now? If you have colored/dyed/bleached hair, do you specifically look for products made for colored hair?

✨ happy #manimonday y’all 💅🏼 what’s o ✨ happy #manimonday y’all 💅🏼 what’s  one goal u have for this week? mine is to lower the screen time on my phone cause it’s been REAL high lately. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I recently purchased a few sets of @staticnailsofficial (IT WAS BEFORE MY NO-BUY I SWEAR) and omg i’m so impressed! I was kinda worried they were gonna be a flop but they actually stay on extremely well and literally took less than 5 minutes to apply, which is a big plus for me because there’s nothing I hate more than waiting for nails to dry. I don’t have the time or patience for that. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Also, they’re super affordable and reusable!! So if you’re trying to be a baddie on a budget and can’t afford to go to the salon every 2 weeks (or even go to the nail salon, cause ya know, pandemic) these are just like acrylics but not as harsh on your nails, take 5 mins to apply, and can easily be popped off when you decide you’re over it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ They also come in a lot of fun and classic lengths, shapes, colors and prints, so you’ll def be able to find something that matches your vibe.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ There’s something so iconic about long nails, idk. like as soon as I put these on I felt like THAT BITCH. Please tell me you relate!! The only thing is if you’re a contact wearer taking your contacts out with long nails is probably the hardest thing in the world, but tbh IT’S WORTH IT.

〰️ happy valentine’s day lovers!! I haven’t had time to take selfies with my new hair (even though i got it done LITERALLY 3 weeks ago lol) because I’ve been sooo busy with work and taking care of Mocha. It felt so nice to actually get dressed up and take some pics today🥺 ⁣
⁣
✨ What did you guys do today? My bf and I got some vegan lunch and sweets and then went to Target hahaha. It was GORGEOUS in Miami today so we spent a lot of time outside too.

⁣
happy saturday night! what are your plans for this evening or tomorrow? @goodhabit recently sent over their newest product for me to test out and I thought I’d give my first impression review today.⁣
⁣
〰️ @goodhabit makes products that help protect your skin against blue light damage, which is something that probably everyone struggles with these days. I know I spend 9+ hours a day on screens for work, not to mention the time I spend on my phone, watching TV, and using my laptop in my free time. ⁣
⁣
〰️ so let’s talk about their new product: the rescue me mask & moisturizer. It’s meant to be used as the last step in your nighttime routine as an overnight mask to help detox your skin and repair blue light damage, to be used a few times a week or if you have drier skin, used every night. This came in the mail earlier this week and I started using it the night I got it because I was so curious!⁣
⁣
〰key ingredients⁣
✨ blue spirulina⁣
✨ hyaluronic acid⁣
✨ blue tansy⁣
✨ceramides⁣
✨evening primrose oil ⁣
✨bakuchiol⁣
⁣
〰 my thoughts: so since this is a first impression I’ve only used this product a few times so far. That said, the few nights I’ve tried this out I’ve really liked it! For one, the texture is absolutely incredible - it’s thick and pudding-like, and it’s a gorgeous blue color thanks to blue sprulina and blue tansy.⁣
⁣
〰 My skin immediately looks glowy and feels smooth after applying this. It dries down quickly and doesn’t feel sticky or tacky Ince my head hits the pillow. In the morning, my skin feels soft but I don’t feel the need to wash it off or anything.  Swipe to see my skin with the mask on (before rubbing it in) and what my skin looks like immediately after applying. ⁣
⁣
I’m definitely going to keep using this a few times a week because my skin seems to really like it so far.⁣
⁣
〰 so what are your thoughts on blue light skincare? Is it a gimmick or is It legit? ↓⁣
⁣
P.S. if you’re interested in trying Good Habit they gave me a discount code to share with you guys - RESET for 15% off 🙂 (non-affiliate)

happy #wellnesswednesday guys!! we're almost at Friday wooooo⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✨ @livewholier sent me their whole food multi for plant-based people which is essentially a multi-vitamin for vegans.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✨ Disclaimer: I have an 80ish% plant-based diet. I occasionally consume eggs and fish (hellooo, I live in Miami am I /not/ supposed to eat fresh sushi?!), but other than that the majority of the nutrients I get comes from plants.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✨ The biggest concern I had when I stopped eating meat that's still a concern for me today is getting enough vitamins and minerals in my diet. Every year when I get my blood tested I am always low in iron and Vitamin D, which can contribute to a whole bunch of health problems, including being tired ALL.THE.TIME.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✨ My doctor always recommended vitamins but it was sooo hard trying to keep track of what to take and when. At one point I was literally taking 8 different pills a day. I tried using pill cases but I'd inevitably forget to take something. I also was never consistent with it so I still felt exhausted.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
✨ Here's the best thing about this @livewholier multi. It has been so easy to remember to just pop two of these bad boys a day and not have to worry about anything else! I've been consistent in taking these because of that, They're infused with a citrus flavor so they smell and taste like Haribo gummy bears (to me at least) which is a welcome surprise when all of the vitamins I used to take smelled horrible and tasted like literal chalk LOL.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Here's what's inside the eco-friendly package (aka everything u need for energy, glowing skin, immune system boost)⁣
✨ Vitamin B12⁣
✨ Iodine⁣
✨ Iron⁣
✨ Omega-3⁣
✨ Vitamin D3⁣
✨ Vitamin K2⁣
✨ Zinc⁣
✨ Selenium⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Do you take a multi? What vitamins and supplements do you take?
👀 how to look like you actually got sleep // #g 👀 how to look like you actually got sleep // #goodalgiftedme their green tangerine vitamin c eye patches and WOW, they couldn’t have come at a better time.⁣
⁣
🌟 As some of you saw in my stories, I just got a puppy (she’s a corgi named Mocha, making an IG highlight for her soon don’t worry) and holy sh*t I haven’t slept AT ALL. She’s lucky she’s cute cause she is tiring me tf out lol 👀⁣
⁣
🌟 Anyway, since I haven’t been sleeping much I feel like it’s really been showing under my eyes so these eye patches have been a lifesaver to make me feel a little more awake and feel a little more put together in the mornings. ⁣
⁣
🌟 They’re formulated with Vitamin C and made of a hydrogel material that is super lightweight and you can barely even see it on the face (so I can wear them in zoom calls lol) ⁣
⁣
🌟 I’ve been keeping mine in the fridge so they have a cooling effect. I really like using these in the mornings to wake my face up and make me feel awake. They also can be worn for as little as 5 minutes, so it’s like a no-brainer to use. ⁣Swipe to see what it looks like on me!
⁣
What’s ur secret to looking awake when you’ve gotten NO sleep? ↓⁣

MY JANUARY NO-BUY RESULTS // ⁣ ⁣ ✨ Hi guys! MY JANUARY NO-BUY RESULTS // ⁣
⁣
✨ Hi guys! Happy Sunday 🙂 Since today is the last day of the month, I wanted to talk about how my no-buy went. What are you guys doing today?⁣
⁣
✨ So, in total I only bought three beauty-related products in all of January. I spent $5 on a conditioner at the grocery store because I left mine at home over the holidays. The other purchase I made was @kiramoonbeauty because DUH! I’ve been waiting for their launch for a LOONG time so I had to check out their products. ⁣
⁣
✨  I plan on doing a more in-depth review on these two products soon (Flowermelon  and Star Jelly) so I’ll keep this short but: I LOVE. The flowermelon serum exceeded my expectations… I didn’t know what to expect in terms of texture but I was so impressed. It smells like melon and it feels so good on wet skin. I like to spray my face with rosewater then pat this into the skin and it makes my face feel soft and dare I say JUICY. Star Jelly is awesome too and it smells like vanilla 🤩⁣
⁣
✨ Anyway, doing a no-buy for January really wasn’t that hard for me, tbh. I was tempted by a few product launches (like those new @rarebeauty blushes..omg) but for the most part I feel like I have everything I need in terms of makeup, skincare, body care, haircare, etc. I also do think it was a lot easier coming from the holidays since I did get a lot of gift sets and whatnot as presents from my family and friends.⁣
⁣
✨ I think I’m going to try and do a no-buy in February as well to keep it up! What do you guys think, are you in? LMK below!
Lemme introduce you guys to one of the most gentle Lemme introduce you guys to one of the most gentle, soothing cleansers I’ve ever used 🛁⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨ @acaderma’s Serenity Calming Cleanser has been a big part of my morning routine since I was sent it to try out by the brand. @joinpalm⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨ Normally I don’t like to wash my face in the morning cause I like to leave my natural face oils on my skin, but with this cleanser it doesn’t feel like I’m stripping my skin at all. Actually, my skin feels a lot softer and hydrated after using this, which is why I think it’s a perfect morning cleanser!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨Ingredients/Texture: Hemp oil is the star ingredient of this cleanser and it definitely shines! The cleanser smells super earthy and natural and the texture is milky and lightweight (swipe to see a texture shot on my hand) Acaderma’s products are formulated without fragrance, phthalates, parabens, SLS/SLES, so this cleanser is SUPER gentle. After massaging this into my face and rinsing, my cheeks feel soft to the touch and I don’t feel like it’s dried out my skin whatsoever. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨ If you have sensitive skin or are looking for a nice, gentle cleanser to use in the morning I really think you’d like this one. The ingredient list is short and effective and the cleanser is pH balanced. Oh, and it’s ocean-friendly! Love that.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✨Do you wash your face in the morning? What’s your go-to gentle cleanser right now? Have a fun Saturday night 🤍⁣⁣
