Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 [Review]

For some time now, I have been on a quest to find my ideal moisturizer for my skin type (combination oily skin). I have used a variety of primers meant to control the oil in my T-zone area but I wanted to have my first step in my face prep be a moisturizer that does that.


I was able to use the Murad Oil-Control Mattifier SPF 15 to test out its ability to mattify my face.

Mally Perfect Prep Poreless Primer [Review]

Do you know the importance of using primers in your makeup application? 

Using a makeup primer is the best way to make your makeup stay put on for longer. The makeup primers are relatively new products on the market but now are gaining more and more popularity. Their aim is to prepare the skin for the makeup application, they pamper the skin and create a protective base for longer- lasting, natural looking foundation application and wear. [source]

So I was able to test and create this review on Mally Beauty's Perfect Prep Poreless Primer.

So let's start out by finding out who Mally Beauty is?

Mally Beauty was founded by celebrity makeup artist, Mally Roncal.

Weleda: A natural facial cream & tutorial

With the hormones during and after pregnancy along with the weather changes, I felt my skin had taken a beating! While pregnant, I  did all natural/diy masks to help pamper my skin and ensure that I was using products that weren't harmful to my daugher or me. Now almost three months after her birth,  I continue to look for products that will help me revitalize my skin and be proactive about caring for my skin from inevitable future wrinkles.

In the middle of March, I received my month's box from Bluum and found two products that really addressed my aforementioned concerns. They were the Weleda Almond soothing facial lotion and the Weleda Wild Rose smoothing night cream.

• I'm getting a box worth more than the cost paid on a monthly basis.
• I choose on a monthly basis of what I want my box theme to be.
• I get introduced to eco friendly/organic products that I otherwise wouldn't have
• I got my first box for 50% off

January (?) Gogogirlfriend Unboxing

Hello Beauts!

Here is my January Gogogirlfriend unboxing. This box was meant to be a December box but only received it last week. Boo!

The items received were: 

• Comodynes self tanning 
• Blossoms Lip gloss in sunset
• Blossoms Lip pencil in current
• Blossoms all natural shea butter soap in Brazilian Jasmine
• Renu Derma creamy cleanser
• Blum facial cleanser
• Gogo Girlfriend floating candle
• Spa Terry Cloth adjustable headband

Thoughts on Gogogirlfriend as a company and its products:

This is my second box with GGG and I am not a fan of the company and its products. I feel that they have bad customer service and the products aren't very high quality with comparison to Birchbox.

The monthly subscription payment is taken during the middle of the month and you don't receive a box until the middle of next month. For this box, they deducted the $12.99 in the middle of December and I didn't receive this box until last week. I think that's ridiculous!

The products are items that I wouldn't purchase on an everyday basis, which is the nice thing about these monthly boxes - the discovery of new products. I could see that the total value of the products sent were worth the $12.99 paid.

I ordered a discounted deluxe box during the first couple weeks of December and I will do an unboxing for that once I get it! But for the time being, I have decided to cancel my membership with GGG.

Have you been with GGG for more than 2 months? How do you like it? What do you think of their customer service?
