DIY GlamGlow Mask

I have been eyeing the Glam Glow facial mask for some time now… One day I was talking with a client of mine who said she had gotten it and was very disappointed. I almost purchased it on black Friday when I found it at Sephora but I could not bring myself to spend the money and now I am glad I didn’t. Glam Glow goes for around 70.00. Then a MIRCLE! I found a DIY on Pinterest (I am an addict). I changed it a bit and BAM! I have found my new favorite mask!

2 Tbsp of Coconut Oil

½ Cup Bentonite Clay

8 Capsules of Activated Charcoal

2 Tbsp Aloe Vera

4 oz of Peppermint Tea (seeped strong)

3 Drops of peppermint Essential Oil

3 Drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Directions

Seep the tea and set aside. Melt Coconut oil in a bowl. Combine all the ingredients except the tea. The mixture will become clumpy at this point start adding your tea a little at a time until you have a smooth mixture. Store in a glass container. The mixture can be kept in a cool dry place for a month.

Thrift shopping

Thrift shopping can be the best and worst shopping experience in your life. You either find cool, trendy, unique and vintage pieces or you end up wasting your time shifting through clothes. I personally enjoy what I call the "hunt". Yes, while thrift shopping I feel like I am hunting for a rare animal! I always went to second hand stores as a child not because I wanted to but because my mom couldn't always afford new clothing. However it taught me that I could be dressed just as cool if not cooler than those who blew hundreds of dollars at the mall. Once I became an adult I went from going to Goodwill to going into second hand stores that sold higher end clothing. The method of finding perfect pieces was the same... I will forever be the huntress! Here are some key things to think about and do before you go on your thrift hunt. 1. See what you got! Shop your own closet first. Do you have things that you never wear anymore? maybe to big or to small? If its in season...

E.L.F Disappointment

I am annoyed and disappointed! I LOVE my Makeup Forever HD setting powder and I have mentioned it in my past favorites but honestly I was looking for a cheaper alternative. I have seen awesome reviews for the HD setting powder made by E.L.F. I was not impressed with the packaging. I opened the box and took off the plastic cover, that day I used the powder was fine. The next day however when I went to open the container there was a mess everywhere. As a hair stylist I wear a lot of black and this shit got all over me! I was so annoyed with the powder being everywhere that I didn't even use the product. I'm sure it works great if you can get past the mess and horrible packaging... so that means I am still on the hunt for a hidef setting powder! Xoxo Samantha
