Skincare

Skincare on a budget! 
All products are under $10.00
Drugstore Skincare products for combination and acne prone skin

Hey everyone! Heres a picture of the skincare products that I have been using for my combination skin.  

The face washes I use are target brand oil free acne wash and cetaphil daily cleanser. If I happen to break out, I'll use the acne wash, otherwise it's the cetaphil. Also, I use an apricot scrub about 3 times a week. This helps get rid of any black heads, blemishes, and dead flaky skin. If I am breaking out, I will use AcneFree Terminator. This product has a lotion consistency and isn't too harsh. Finally, I have been using two moisturizers. Garnier Moisture Rescue and a dual treatment moisturizer for when I am having break outs. I think these drugstore brand products are really nice and help make my skin clear and moisturized!

Have you ever tried any of these?

Maybelline

Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara

This mascara is formulated with a gel-mousse to give a light-as-air texture for soft, supple lashes.  With 40% less hard waxes than traditional mascaras, this one promises huge volume with no flaking. I personally do like this mascara.




As you can see from the pictures the wand is a bit different than normal mascaras. Their is a little section of the wand that allows the brush to bend easy. It allows you to contort the brush a little. It may have a little bit of getting used to this feature.

Now for the formula, it is really thin. However, I did not experience any clumping or fallout. It has a very volumizing and lengthening effect. I like how my lashes aren't crunchy and hard after using this. Which also makes it easy to remove this.


In these pictures I have absolutely no make up on besides the mascara. I only used one coat and you can already see how long my lashes appear to be.

Göt2b Favorites



Crazy Sleek Hot Smooth Flat Iron & Blow Dry Lotion
POWDER'ful Volumizing Styling Powder






I recently bought both of these products because at work they were BOGO so i thought what the heck ill try them out. 
First I will review Powder'ful. I absolutely love this product and I will be purchasing it again. It takes 10 seconds to realize how awesome this is and at a cheap price. The application is super easy and works on all hair types. The product is in something that resembles salt and pepper shakers so just shake a bit into your hands or roots and rub it in until it disappears. The only downfall is that it leaves a different texture on your roots at first but nothing that is stiff, annoying or unbearable. I like how this product is cheap and you can get it pretty much anywhere. I am wearing just a small amount of this as my product for volume in my swap video if you want to see the results.

I am really happy that I chose to buy the crazy sleek. This product works really well and especially at such a cheap price. First of all I love how this stuff isn't sticky or heavy because Ive had that happen to me before. However, there is a bit of a smell with this but nothing too overwhelming, or at least in my opinion. The formula for this is a little thick because it is somewhat a gel like substance so it sprays in a stream more so than a mist. This lotion also works well  for thick course hair when it comes to helping it straighten. This product is very smoothing and contains proteins and keratin which is a plus for me. I believe this product does exactly what it claims to do; smooth, protect, moisturize.


I would recommend both products!


What are your thoughts? Have any other questions?
I love reading your comments :)
