Target’s January Beauty Box #1 Review
Target’s beauty box is released monthly and is not a subscription service.

The products you receive are sample size, deluxe sample size and/or full size.

Target released two beauty boxes for the month of January. Beauty box #1 at $5 and beauty box #2 at $10. I, of…

Walmart’s Winter Beauty Box Review
Walmart’s beauty box is a subscription service, costs $5 per shipment and is released 4 times a year. Since the boxes are released every season, the makeup, skin and body care products (sample size and/or full size) will represent the season the box is being released. I have been receiving this beauty box for over a year and I will say the beauty boxes have been hit or miss, but I do enjoy receiving my beauty box every season from Walmart! When you open the box, you see the theme of the box which is “Treat Yourself This Season with Beauty” and the winter themed tissue paper that is very…

The Benefits of Dry Brushing
It only takes one trip down any beauty aisle to see at least one body brush. And although it’s easy to bypass these scrubbing brushes as unnecessary additions, don’t let the unassuming bristles fool you. Dry brushes are so much more than fancy exfoliators. Keep reading to see what dry brushing is and how to master the brushing technique for yourself. What Is Dry Brushing?

Tip Tuesday: Exfoliate Your Skin
Exfoliation is an important and easy way to buff away the dead skin cells that cover up your skin’s natural glow, but just once or twice a week should do the trick. Overdoing it can cause dryness and irritation. My favorite product I use is Freeman Charcoal & Black Sugar Face Polishing Mask once a week (http://go.magik.ly/ml/3ba7/). This product does double duty! It is a charcoal mask that you apply to clean dry skin and leave on for 5-7 minutes to draw out impurities then you exfoliate your skin with the black sugar and rinse off! My skin feels so smooth, not dry and I follow up with my anti-aging products,…
