I accidentally lost some eyebrow hairs when I peeled it off;( A post shared by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Jul 8, 2017 at 9:28am PDTNext, I remove the black charcoal mask. See how shiny this black peel off mask dries? It looks wet. When the mask starts to feel tight on the skin, it’s ready to peel off.It’s a little hard to get the mask removed in one peel.Here I am peeling away the black charcoal mask:It sounds like I’m removing tape from my face right?A post shared by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Jul 10, 2017 at 7:44pm PDTRemoving the mask feels like your skin is super fresh and clean and your pores feel unclogged. The result is purified, super clean skin with any simple blackheads removed. Some blackheads may be very deep, and you might need a pore extractor tool for spot treatment.Overall, I’m super excited about the results using the black charcoal peel off mask.A post shared by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Jul 10, 2017 at 7:42pm PDTLook at the blackheads this black charcoal mask removed!I’m super excited that this mask removed anything from my skin because I honestly didn’t think I had many black heads. The first time I tried this peel off face mask for blackheads, the black mask was COVERED in lots of small and big blackheads. Since I’ve been using this blackhead mask once every two weeks or at least once a month, I have been seeing less blackheads coming out in this black peel off mask for blackheads. With that being said, yes the more often you use this charcoal blackhead remover mask, the less blackheads you’ll have. A post shared by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Jul 10, 2017 at 7:51pm PDTI don’t want you to over pay for this mask, I found it at wish.com for only $2 and it’s just as good if not better than move expensive brands. I recommend you purchase this one too rather then making your own. Here’s a photo of the product you’ll find at the wish.com website.I couldn’t perfectly apply the black mask like the model pictured below LOL.Black charcoal mask photo from wish.comFor best results with the black charcoal mask, I have some tips. Trust me, you don’t want this stuff stuck in your hairline or dripping into your eyes. The first time I tried this mask, I applied too much. After five minutes my face was dripping all over onto my chest and floor. Now that I’m a black charcoal mask guru, I have some tips to share!Black charcoal mask photo from wish.comHow to apply the black charcoal maskStep 1: Use your favorite face cleanser to make sure your skin is makeup free and clean.Step 2: Tie your hair back and wrap it up securely in a towel.Step 3: On dry skin, pour a dime sized amount onto your fingers or use a clean makeup brush. (avoid hairline and around eyes and eyebrows!)Step 4: To avoid drips, apply a thin application, don’t reapply in same area.Step 5: Allow up to 30 minutes to dryStep 6: With dry hands, peel off slowly to minimize any discomfortStep 7: If any small pieces won’t peel off, rinse away with warm water and wash clothStep 8: Moisturize if your skin feels dryBTW, I’ve seen many black charcoal mask sellers recommend you apply a skin prep, but it’s mostly for people with super oily skin. If you skin is still oily after cleansing, take a cotton ball and use a good toner or even use a rubbing alcohol to remove all oil.Black Charcoal Mask ReviewWhat I LOVE about the black charcoal maskYour skin will feel SOOO smooth!The fact that the mask is blackThe black contrast color is a HUGE benefit. You can FINALLY now actually see what’s coming out of your skin. Traditional peel off masks are usually clear / transparent. There’s no real “WOW” factor in contrast. The black charcoal peel off mask however, shows a high contrast, making it easier to see EVERYTHING!Activated charcoal is an oil sucking miracle ingredient!Activated charcoal attracts dirt and oil like a magnet! Sucking it out of your pores! Activated charcoal in history has been used as a poison antidote. Yes, in ancient times, activated charcoal was used as a poison antidote because of its strong ability to absorb. Today, it’s still a trusted oil-absorber.Activated charcoal is gentler than clay and skin care acidsIf you have dry skin, these black charcoal masks won’t over dry or irritate your skin like clay and acids. Yay!The mask is gentler on the skin than using purge toolsThis makes it easier for me to extract my pores! It’s FUN too!I can use this mask every Sunday to prep my skin for the week.It’s easier than using my pore extracting tools. However, it’s nice to have a pore extractor on hand if you want to spot treat! I love my pore extractor tools and I will still use them monthly for tough areas like my hairline and nose crease. (you know it!)Black charcoal masks also “wax” peach fuzz! Yaaaaaas!What a fun bonus I accidentally discovered. It can also be the reason why it may feel a little painful! The smoothness is sooo worth it.Is the charcoal black head peel off mask is good for acne prone skin?YES! When you use this charcoal black head peel off mask at least once a month, you’ll see a reduction in breakouts. Why? Blackheads can lead to pimples and acne. The more unclogged your pores are, the better chance you will prevent acne.Can you use this black charcoal mask every night?No. This would actually irritate your skin and might make it more oily and sensitive.Are there dangers to using the black charcoal peel off mask?If you have highly sensitive skin, use in moderation. Perform a test patch before applying all over your face. If you apply the mask more than once a week, you may irritate your skin. Do not use this mask everyday.Can I use the black charcoal mask on my body?Ideally it’s for your face since the skin on your face is thinner and works better with the mask. For body acne, I recommend you use a body cleanser that’s designed for acne and “backne”How often should I use the black charcoal peel mask?I use it once every two weeks.What’s the best blackhead peel off mask?I have only tried a few and my favorite it the inexpensive blackhead peel off mask I listed below.Where should I buy black charcoal masks online?After looking at ingredients I felt safe purchasing a $2 cheap black charcoal mask from wish.com. Final thoughts, like all skin care products, they might not work with all skin types. However, I’ve had great results with my sensitive combination skin. My results were sooo great, I purchased three more bottles of this black charcoal peel mask.If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments section!Thanks for reading my black charcoal mask review.Hey can you share my awesome photo below on Pintreset!? Please?? Thanks!!!!

This is the most unique hilighter on the market, learn why. No, Lime Crime is not paying me to tell you how excited I am about their NEW 3 shade hilighter. Lime crime has put unicorns back on the map. Woo hoo! If you haven’t noticed, unicorns are back and the brand Lime Crime is making the most “unicorn worthy” makeup and hair beauty products I have ever seen! Everything is simply stunning!The packaging, and especially the amazing looks you can create. Let’s dive in.Here’s my opinion and review on the Lime Crime Hi lite opal palette. Are you amazed by the first glance of the packaging?! How about the amazing “unicorn looks” you can get?!Photo source: Lime CrimeI thought so! Let’s check out how amazing this opal palette is now: The PackagingOMG! This palette stands out from any other palette on my desk. It’s the most beautiful palette. It shimmers and the colors morph when your move it side to side. How fun and gorgeous! I seriously played with the packaging over and over. It’s a smart design. If I was going to design makeup packaging, I’d select this too! The hinge opens and closes to a nice magnetic snap. I LOVE that attention to detail. Don’t you?!A post shared by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Apr 9, 2017 at 11:34am PDTLooks amazing on any desk!Ok, so the palette looks great opened and closed. If you spill any powder onto the edges, it wipes off perfectly clean. Here’s a video I took of the packaging with no filter!A post shared by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Apr 9, 2017 at 11:13am PDTThe Cost: $34-$38You can sign up by email and they’ll send you a promo code! The price is a little high but you’re getting 3 colors and this will last you a very very long time.Below: Photo of the Lime Crime Opal palette outside in the sun. See the reflective properties? Photo of the back of the palette. The official colors are “Pink, Gold, and Peach.” I love how Lime Crime markets this palette!Photo credit: Lime CrimeIsn’t this fun? Watch me swatch this: A post shared by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Apr 9, 2017 at 11:06am PDT Ok, now for the extreme closeups. Thanks to my husband for letting me swatch his tan arm.The application:Love at first swatch. These colors have the most mesmerizing glow to them. I like how the glow is more diffused and softer. Most hi lighters are very metallic and can be overly harsh to the face. These are more soft and will glow when the light actually hits them. A more sough after “glow from within” look. People will look at you like… “what planet are you from?” “How do you have this amazing sheen to your complexion?” I’ve been stopped and asked, stared at…Pink:How incredible is this iridescent pink? Look at that glow. It radiates elusive beauty. I have been wearing this pink as a hi light on my upper cheekbone. It compliments the blush I wear. It gives a beautiful youthful glow. It also looks amazing around your lips or on the center of your lips on top pf your lipstick. This can create a more pouty appearance to the lips!Gold:I love using this gold color under my eyebrow, the eyebrow bone. My eyes appear larger and goddess like. I even place a dot near the tear duct for that luminous eye look. Makes your eyes look awake and mysterious.Peach:Peach can go everywhere! It rocks my world.I use it on my forehead right above the outer corner of my eyebrow blended upwards. It makes my skin look heavenly, like an angel! <3 I also use this on my cupid’s bow.All three swatches: Pink, Gold, Peach:This photo does not do it justice. The peach on the right is catching the light more and looks so amazing! It’s also more blended than the others in this photo. What makes this palette different from the dozens of other hilighter palettes on the market?One swatch and you’ll say “whooaaaa!”The formula is different!This hilighter has opalescent pearls that are see through. This means it’s not a solid color when applied to you skin, it works with every skin tone allowing your skin to show through.The glow is color shifting! Meaning, when you apply the hi light, it actually appears on your skin where the light reflects it. It never appears as a flat color. Iridescent.This does not make your skin look greasy! You know what I mean…. For example, if i put a normal hilighter down the bridge of my nose, I just look greasy. Some hi lighters have fine particles of glitter in them which is a little cheesy. And some make your pores look larger. Some hi lighters out there look too metallic and harsh. However, this Lime Crime Hi Light opal palette gives you a “glow from within” look. I describe as a soft mysterious “moon glow.” It’s truly memorizing. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my Lime Crime HI LITE Opal Palette Review.I hope this is the most complete and comprehensive blog post of the Lime Crime HI LITE Opal Palette Review. I think I will continue to add more Lime Crime products to my blog.If you have any questions, please ask me in the comments.

E.L.F. has surprised everyone with the announcement of their affordable skin care line. “Don’t let the word “affordable” scare you! You’d find the same good stuff in other expensive gel masks.” Looking at all the ingredients elf is using; they meet my approval!So let’s dive into my favorite new elf hydrating gel mask review! First impressions of the elf Hydrating Gel Mask – Price The price of this elf Hydrating Gel Mask is so affordable, $12.00.I’m happy to see such a high quality product at a price range women can afford.There’s times I recommend products that are far too expensive for especially young women. I don’t know about you, but when I have a less expensive skin care product, I use it generously! LOL. My face, neck, back of hands.BUT…I’m ALWAYS super careful not to waste a drop of a $100 face cream? I only use it on my face. Really?! (crying lol why must I be so weird? LOL)*Hey this elf hydrating gel mask inexpensive and it’s also free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.My first impressions of the elf Hydrating Gel Mask – ApplicationThis is a nice lightweight mask that does not feel heavy, greasy or sticky. It actually feels cool to the skin and soothing.If you’ve never tried a gel moisturizer or mask before, you’ll notice the difference in texture the second you touch it. Be sure to apply the mask onto freshly cleansed skin. Next, apply a thin layer to the skin, concentrating on areas your skin feels the most dry. Allow the product to absorb into your skin for ten minutes. I like to take a damp cloth and wipe away the excess cream and then splash my face with luke warm water and pat dry.As an added bonus, I’d like to mention this gel mask does not have any bad fragrance. It has very little smell. It won’t bother you or anyone around you.How often should you use this gel mask?Since I purchased this, I’ve been using it almost every day for two weeks straight!I use it after I remove my makeup and cleanse my skin.I have been using it at least four times a week. It’s so refreshing and plumps the skin with moisture.Use it as often as you like. Always keep your skin moist to look healthy. This elf hydrating gel mask does an amazing job keeping my skin healthy looking and fully hydrated.This elf gel mask is specifically designed to:SoothNourishCoolRevitalizeAdd healthy glowMoisturizeQuality Ingredients that make it worth a tryTake a look at these ingredients! You’d find the same good stuff in other expensive gel masks.Purified waterAloeCoconut oilChia Seed oiljojoba seed oilCocoa seed butter elf Hydrating Gel Mask Review – PackagingThe packaging is pretty basic but simple and cost effective. I think it’s actually pretty. It has a simple yet clean look and feel. You really really can’t complain about the packing not being as “gorgeous” as other high end products because the price is conservative so should the design. I have some skin care products that I keep out on display in my fabulous dressing room. These elf skin care items get neatly stored in my vanity cabinets. (As photographed above) I really do adore the cute little leaf accent pull tab! OMG. Thank you, this is so user friendly packaging design. For economical packaging, I give this an Elegance and Beauty Reviews Choice award! The color of the packaging is pretty too in my opinion.I took so many photos of it for this blog post because I LOVE it! Can you tell? Visible ResultsThe moment I knew this moisturizer was a winner…When I looked in the mirror after rinsing this off my face, my skin looks smooth like porcelain.My pores always look invisible and my skin always looks tightened and toned after using a good moisturizer.Acne? This elf gel moisturizer mask has not given me a breakout so far so good. It’s been a couple weeks and my skin can’t get enough of it.My final thoughtsThis is a great moisturizer to stock up on guilt free because of the low cost and effectiveness.If I ever see this go on sale like at Target or online the elf store, I will purchase like five of them in the blink of an eye. This is a great inexpensive moisturizing gel mask that absorbs deeply into the skin. NEVER feels greasy or like I have oil on my skin.My skin really agrees with this elf hydrating face mask.In conclusion, yes this gel face mask DOES work and it works great!I hope you enjoyed my honest review on the elf hydrating gel mask. I also hope you enjoyed my fabulous photography.*pssssssst! I know you guys keep asking me what type of lenses, camera, and lighting I use for beauty product photography.

A video posted by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Jan 29, 2017 at 7:49pm PSTMy first impressions – Tatcha GOLD Camellia Nourishing Lip Balm ReviewAfter unboxing I was too scared to try the lip balm. It’s so pretty, you might feel the same way too at first.I’m in awe of the pretty packaging. Simply elegant. Something I imagine a Princess or Queen might affix to their pout in their leisure. Right?The first time I applied this to my lips, I was impressed. This has a nice silky feeling on the lips. My lips feel moisturized and soft as rose petals after using.LOVE that the isn’t sticky or waxy. It glides on so soft and smooth. It’s the perfect texture.The smell is nice and soft. Pleasant experience applying. It’s nice looking in the mirror seeing the subtle shimmer. Looks amazing in sunlight.Unique, Simple, ElegantThis Tatcha GOLD Camellia Nourishing Lip Balm is in a round plastic lavender and clear case that’s so simple and elegant. Instead of this being a stick or round EOS balm, Tatcha brought it back to simplicity using the timeless design of a round case with twist lid.When I take this out of my pretty designer handbag, it just looks to chic and elegant.Tatcha GOLD Camellia Nourishing Lip Balm BenefitsAbsorbs quicklyPleasant smellNot sticky nor waxyRefreshingGive you soft lipsTouch of shimmerAnti aging treatment for lipsMoisturizes and helps prevent moisture lossClose up photo of the Tacha Gold camellia nourishing lip balm Tatcha Gold Camellia Nourishing Lip Balm Price?$36.00 for 8g / .28 oz.Now let’s keep it real, my honest thoughtsYaaaass! Hands down this is a lovely lip balm.What do I love the most about this Tatcha lip balm? The design and luxury.However, do I apply this throughout the day?No.I honestly only apply this lip balm before bed or in the morning on makeup free days.This is a lips balm that I don’t apply on top of my daytime lipstick.That being said, I keep this as a pretty lip goody that I rarely use.Does this lip balm the best you’ve ever tired?On a good note, since I’ve started using this lip balm I have not had chapped lips. My lips appear more pouty too. So, yes this is actually the best lip balm I’ve ever used. Chap stick and EOS cannot compete.Germaphobe? With this lip balm I’m kinda not sold on using my fingers to apply this to my lips. How long does the gold last?Sadly, the gold is a wow factor for the first ten times approximately. Then the gold is gone but you still have all the lip balm goodness.A gorgeous addition to your makeup vanity and the Tatcha collectionWhen you see this on your vanity or in your purse, you feel special Where can I purchase the Tatcha GOLD Camellia Nourishing Lip Balm online?Below are some sellers on Amazon that will ship to you.

A great exfoliator for sensitive skin. Yes, it’s a cleanser and an exfoliator that has an enzyme activated by water. Another amazing skin care product by Tatcha. I’ve been using this Tatcha exfoliating rice enzyme powder for the past six months, it’s amazing.Today I’m going to share my full review of the Tatcha polished classic rice enzyme powder. I purchased the full size for $65.00 for 60 g / 2.1 oz.(You can also purchase the travel size for $15.00 /10 g /.35 oz.) Everything to the skin care benefits I experience, packaging, tips, and I’ll answer your questions. Keep reading my Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder Review.First Impressions – Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder ReviewI had no idea what to expect. First, I thought this was going to be like a sugar scrub or something rough. Nope. This is the most gentlest exfoliator I’ve ever tried. It’s powder soft, hence being called a rice powder enzyme. duh right? Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder Review – How long will this product last?You only need a dime sized amount of this powder poured into your wet hands and applied to your wet face. I’ve had this for six months and I still have half of the product remaining. In other words, this Tatcha rice enzyme powder purchase is going to last you approximately one year.I lather this into my hands and patted it onto my face and neck. It feels so luxurious.Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder Review – TipsI recommend that you lather this into your hands first because every time I apply it onto my wet face with dry hands, it clouds up and I accidentally breath it in LOL.Use this after removing all your makeup This is my favorite step in Tatcha’s beauty ritual. Tatcha rice enzyme powder has the thickest lather. I love the way it foams up onto my face. It leaves my skin feeling literally squeaky clean. Yes, my face really made a squeak noise. OMG right?Right away, what I LOVE about this Tatcha exfoliating rice enzyme powder, this reduces any redness in your skin!After using this Tatcha rice powder, my skin has significantly reduced redness. I was amazed.If you’re like me, and you use a pore extractor in between cleansing your skin, you get red marks around extraction areas.After applying this to my skin I like to let it sit on my face for a minute as I brush my teeth. I feel like it pampers my skin with goodies.When I rinse my face, my face feels so refreshed. I’m pretty sure my face says “ahhhhh.” hehe. This product reminds me of a discontinued powder enzyme water activated cleanser by bareMinerals. It was good, but this new Tatcha one is so much better!How I use this Tatcha Rice Enzyme PowderMorning: In the morning, I use this on my makeup free skin with my clarisonic. It helps remove any excess oil and my moisturizer from the night before. It’s recommended to keep the product on your face massaging for 10-20 seconds.Night: After using the first step, the cleansing oil, I apply the Tatcha rice enzyme powder to my wet face using wet hands. Next, I prep my skin for moisture by applying Tatcha the Essence. (It makes your moisturizers and serums penetrate deeper into the skin) I apply the Tatcha supple moisture rich silk cream.Removes excess oil!Seriously. Many people get freaked out from Tatcha’s first step the cleansing oil. Good news! After you use the cleansing oil, this Tatcha Rice Enzyme Powder will remove the excess oil left over. It’s perfect.Related: I love using Tatcha the Essence before applying my moisturizerThis Tatcha video shows the texture and lather:Tatcha Rice Enzyme IngredientsThe main ingredients that make this great for your skin are: Rice powder (of course) Microcrystalline Cellulose (it’s a wood pulp), Potassium Myristate (natural fatty acid), Cellulose (natural plant cells), Papain (papaya Extract -great exfoliant), Camellia Sinensis (green Tea) Leaf Extract(antioxident), Houttuynia Cordata (dokudami) Extract, Oryza Sativa (rice) Bran (exfoliant), Algae Extract (moisture), Glycerin (good for moisture), Dextrin, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate(food preservative), Iron Oxides (natural mineral for color)(cl 77492), Ultramarines, Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol.As you may notice.

They’re also beautiful to display on your vanity. This Tatcha polished rice enzyme powder comes in a translucent plastic container. They all have a pretty pearl sheen to each product. You can see the rice powder in the container. (see the photo above)There’s also great functionality. Never will you pour too much product by accident. There’s a nice little hole that lets you pour out the perfect amount. You never have to worry about finding the pearl powder spilled. It closes securely and it’s not hard to open. I love the Geisha History Tatcha includesEven before you open the rice enzyme, there’s a nice history story behind the reason rice bran is a prized ingredient: There’s a Tatcha rice enzyme powder for all skin types This is the rice enzyme I purchased for my combination skin: the Polished classic rice enzyme powder.Take a look of the packaging.

It’s known as a beauty water that delivers instant moisture to the skin and skin plumping antioxidants. This beauty water is best used for making all your skin care products absorb deeper and work better. Check out all the benefits listed below with my personal review. I’ve been really excited for this release, Tatcha the Essence because it’s been eight years in the making, and it’s arrived!Every morning and night, I’ve been adding this seven second step to my skin care routine and all I can say is I defiantly love the results. My skin looks so smooth, and healthy. Check out all the information about the Essence, as well as my final thoughts and personal Tatcha the Essence Review. How do I use Tatcha’s the Essence?After cleaning and exfoliating your skin, simply pat a few drops of Tatcha’s the Essence onto your skin.Pat onto your face and neck. Apply anywhere you would normally apply your skin care products such as serums and moisturizers.You will notice immediate hydration and softer skin once absorbed. When your skin is dry, apply your serums and moisturizers.You can also apply more of the Essence during the day. After prolonged use, you’ll notice brighter, more youthful skin.First, I noticed more hydrated skin after one day of using the Essence. Second, my skin looks incredible with or without makeup.The Essence gives my skin a beautiful brightened effect. After, one week my skin was brighter!A video posted by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Jan 15, 2017 at 11:30am PSTTatcha the Essence – Packaging: smart and elegantThis is an elegant bottle design. I was surprised how slow the water pours from the pretty spout. This gives the perfect amount of water. You’ll never have to worry about spilling the water by accident! The water stays perfectly safe in the bottle with its slow pour design. Also, the generous amount of 150 ml will last a long time.What’s a beauty water? – Tatcha the Essence ReviewBeauty water is a skin care multi-tasker super star. It tones, hydrates, exfoliates, brightens, softens, plumps skin, and cleanses. You can use beauty water as often as needed and it’s good for all skin types. It’s oil free too.A video posted by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Jan 15, 2017 at 11:28am PSTTatcha’s beauty water, the Essence is probably the highest quality beauty water on the market because of its high quality and authentic nutrients. Nutrients such as green tea, rice, and algae.Because Tatcha uses the same time honored ingredients the Geisha have documented in historic skin care documents. Another Step to my skin care routine?! Yes!Here in the West, skin care is marketed in three – four easy steps. Cleanse, tone, moisturize, and sometimes exfoliate or use a serum. However, in the East it’s common for skin care to have as many as ten – fourteen steps. Amazing right? In the East, skin care starts as early as childhood and in the West, it commonly starts in our late twenties to thirties when we get our first wrinkle. Check out the 10-step Korean skincare routine.What are the skin benefits of Tatcha the Essence?Anti-aging – softens wrinklesSmoother skinSkin resurfacingPlumper skinDeep skin hydrationBetter performance of all beauty productsRelated: Make your own beauty water (rice water!)My review and results – Tatcha the Essence ReviewTo cleanse my skin, I use the first two steps in Tatcha’s the Ritual skin care collection. After applying the the Essence to my freshly washed skin, I pat a little extra under my eyes. (where I tend to get dry skin) I also applied some to my neck and use the leftover on my hands and fingers. Immediately, my face and skin feel baby soft. I let it absorb into my skin for a few minutes.Usually, I brush my teeth while waiting for the next step. Finally, I add my Tatcha serum and moisturizer (as shown in the Ritual skin care routine). My skin feels super moisturized after applying my Tatcha moisture silk cream. I use this step both morning and night.My skin looks fresh and moist all day. I have noticed a brightening effect to my t-zone. My skin looks radiant and youthful. Zero wrinkles. I’m really happy adding the Essence to my skin care routine.In conclusion, I also love using the Essence on my makeup free days. I’ll cleanse my skin, and wear the Essence along with my moisturize and I’ll spray Tatcha’s Luminous Dewy Skin Mist on top.Where you can buy Tatcha the Essence onlineA video posted by Jen Valenzuela (@elegancebyjen) on Jan 15, 2017 at 3:21pm PSTAnd last, please let me know if you have and questions about using Tatcha the Essence.

YES! The answer is yes. This photo represents the confusion.Can Cooking Olive Oil be used for Skin and Hair?Can Cooking Olive Oil be used for Skin and Hair?The answer shouldn’t shock you, YES.Yes, you can and should use cooking olive oil on both your skin and hair.It’s actually better for your skin and hair using this natural version of olive oil.If you can eat it, you can use it on your skin and hair. 40 Olive Oil Benefits for Skin CareI’m applying 100% pure organic extra virgin olive oil on my face (cooking oil)Many people think they can’t use regular full strength olive oil just because the olive oil is not in the beauty section of the store or because it’s labeled for cooking.I have demonstrated using extra virgin olive oil on my face for massage and removing makeup.People get shocked at this and say “OMG you’re using cooking oil on your face?!”To that I say, yes! Do you think using artificial olive oil scented cream is better? They get confused.FACT: Many “Olive Oil” beauty products being sold don’t have Olive oil as the primary oil ingredients! We live in a time where the marketing of a brand is more sough after than the listed ingredients.For instance, we might see an “olive oil lotion” from your favorite beauty brand.However, when looking at the ingredients, there’s perfumes, dyes, chemicals, etc. What happened to the olive oil? There might only be a tiny percentage of olive oil at best in the lotion.Many skin care companies know using real extra virgin olive oil would drive up their cost on the product, cutting their profit margins.We all know olive oil has many beauty benefits, but many skin care retailers don’t even put real olive oil into their products! Take a look at the actual ingredients in this “olive oil hair lotion”Here’s the ingredients:(remember the ingredients are listed in order of concentration. Meaning this product has water as the main ingredient and CI 19140 (Yellow 5) as the least amount and last ingredient.)Which olive oil product would you rather use?The one you can eat or the one that’s for external use only?Take a look now at the allergens and warningsYes, you should avoid getting olive oil in your eyes because that wouldn’t feel good right?However with this olive oil beauty product that’s loaded with synthetic ingredients, it would be extremely dangerous. This olive oil product from the beauty aisle is particularly flammable. It’s cautioned not to use tobacco products when you have this olive oil hair lotion in your hair.Imagine putting all the hydrogenated oils (listed in the ingredients above) onto your scalp / skin if we know eating hydrogenated oils is in fact not good for our health. Which olive oil should you be using on your hair and skin?Use cold pressed extra virgin olive oil!Don’t use hydrogenated oils on your hair and skin!Why Hydrogenated oils are badAll oils are great in their natural organic state. It’s the manufacturing process that can turn these oils into poisons. When oils are cheaply manufactured, they undergo intense heat of around one thousand degrees and tons of pressure. This not only destroys the nutritional content but can also make the oil toxic! This is why you need to buy cold pressed oils for both cooking and beauty instead. Look at the ingredients on your oils. Make sure your oil ingredients lists “cold pressed.”I know researching about olive oils is confusing.Thanks for reading: Can Cooking Olive Oil be used for Skin and Hair?If you still have more questions about,Can Cooking Olive Oil be used for Skin and Hair?

($9.99) Even the cashier boasted how great this stuff is, she was even wearing it. It’s in their impulse buy section at check-out. I bet you’ve seen it before. “How the heck does this pink armor nail stuff work exactly?”It’s not a polish, it’s a protein rich gel coat. It fills in the weak parts of your nail bed. Strengthening your entire nail deep down to the shiny surface. They claim you only need one coat. I use at least three pink armor nail gel coats alone if I’m not going to wear a colored nail polish on top. What kind of protein does Pink Armor Nail Gel use?Keratin protein is used.What are all the nail benefits of Pink Armor nail gel?Stronger nailsRepairs damaged nailsNails look brighterNail tips look whiterSeals your nailsNail beds look pinker and healthierUsed as base coatUsed as a protective shiny top coat Nail Goals, Are you like me?If you’re like me, you always want to try the “as seen on TV” products for yourself. I was skeptical if the before and after photos are real or if there’s any real people out there that swear by this product. The pretty pink colored bottle of nail gel that promises stronger, longer nails… FAST! lol. Who wouldn’t want that?! Hoping I could have long pretty natural nails that I could file was my dream. Pink Armor Nail Gel ReviewMy journey and what you can expectI’ve tried so many nail strengtheners…Over the past ten years I have tried at least seven different nail strengthening remedies and none lived up to the hype…Anytime I would play tennis, I’d break a nail.Anytime I pulled out wet clothes from the washer machine, I’d break a nail.Even one time fitting into my skinny jeans pulling up my pants and trying to get button my jeans… I’d break a nail. So annoying right?I gave pink armor a try…Day 1First off, right away, LOVE the pink tone of the polish.Second, it made my nails super shiny and the nail beds looked healthier.Third, after applying a few thin coat, my nails felt stronger.I applied three coats and kept it on all week. Week 1My nails felt stronger and no breakage happened.Week 2 I painted my nails on top of the pink armor nail gel coatWeek 2 I removed al the polish and nail gel for a new color.(I used the method below for two months to achieve my long nails) Over two months of using pink armor I achieved my goalI’ve continued using pink armor nail gel and I’m on my second bottle. For best results using pink armor nail gel, I recommend the following steps. Here’s how to use pink armor nail gel for best resultsApply a thin coat of the pink armor nail gel and let it dry for ten minutes.Apply a second coat and let that dry for a few hoursApply two coats of a favorite nail polish and let that dry for an hourApply one coat of pink armor on topWhen your nails get super long, use a thin coat under the nail ( I know it’s hard to apply but it works!)So that’s five + coats total. Whew!My nail polish looks fabulous six days straightWhen using the pink armor nail gel as the way recommended above, your nails will look great longer. I do chip my nail tips, especially my thumb and pinky nail. When this happens, I just spot treat my nails by applying a thin spot of color on the chip and after it dries, another coat of pink armor to even out the shine.Pink armor nail gel makes my nails super strongJust living the dream having super long nails here.

Yes, this exfoliating body scrub has so many benefits and ingredients even sensitive skin will love.1. Brown Sugar : The sugar is great for exfoliating dead skin cells and the molasses is great for anti aging, rich in minerals. Helps whiten skin and reveal the original skin color you were born with.

I’m recycling an old hair mask jar (Loreal EverStrong). It’s plastic and small, which will last 1 month. Perfect because I like to make a new scent every month. And I love using plastic jars because I don’t have to worry about breaking them!Homemade Whitening Body Scrub – Step 1Make your own skin whitening body scrub – Start with Brown SugarFill your container 70% full with Brown Sugar. Don’t worry about packing the brown sugar in because we’re going to stir it up in the container so we are only using what we need. Brown sugar helps naturally whiten your skin fast. It also promotes healthy skin cells and reduces inflammation. Because we’re scrubbing the skin with brown sugar, it will help prevent the skin from getting irritated and turning red. The brown sugar helps remove the outer layer of the skin revealing newer healthier skin cells. This helps quickly whiten skin fast naturally. I recommend using a brown sugar for the body because the skin on the body is thicker than our face and we tend to scrub harder on our body. Homemade Whitening Body Scrub – Step 2Make your own body scrub – Extra Virgin Olive OilAdd two tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This is the richest moisturizer you can be extra generous. So many vitamins, minerals, and heavy fatty acids. This will help lubricate the brown sugar and help prevent any scratches, it will help polish your skin. Olive oil helps brighten and whiten the skin among many anti-aging benefits.Homemade Whitening Body Scrub – Step 3Make you own body scrub for glowing skin – Coconut oil Smells so good!Add your 1 Tbsp of Organic Coconut oil. If it’s a cold day like today, the oil will be solid and waxy. No worries because this mixture will melt in the warm steamy shower. The coconut oil will also help keep this whitening body scrub more solid and less runny consistency. Coconut oil has many skin benefits and helps whiten skin. This will also make the skin whitening scrub smell good naturally.Skin whitening using coconut oilHomemade Whitening Body Scrub – Step 4Make you own body scrub for beautiful skin- Cocoa PowderAdd 1 Tsp of Cocoa Powder any brand will do! This will help remove uneven skin colors such as hyper-pigmentation. Cocoa powder is excellent for whitening your skin at home.Homemade Whitening Body Scrub – Step 5Coffee helps with your skin’s blood circulation, giving you even toned skin.Add 1 Tsp of Instant coffee. I’m using Nescafe instant coffee. Smells good!!!Homemade Whitening Body Scrub – Step 6Honey helps with wrinkles, acne, and it can lighten and brighten your skin. It also helps keep this body scrub preserved and last longer on the shelf. Up to five years.Add 1 Tsp of raw organic honey. Another yummy smell. It’s hard to stir in this honey, but it’s worth it.Homemade Whitening Body Scrub – Step 7Whiten your skin with baking sodaAdd 1 Tsp of baking soda. This will help give your skin the smoothest touch and whiten your skin too.Skin whitening with baking sodaHomemade Whitening Body Scrub – Step 8Make you own body scrubAt this point you need to judge whether or not your mixture is too thick or thin.

Smells and feels amazing!Enjoy your whitening body scrub creation! Test it out in your kitchen sink if you want. Splash some warm water on your hands to open up your pores and warm up your hands. Slather a spoonful of the mixture into your hands. Scrub your hands together for one minute and rinse off the body scrub with warm water. Your hands should now be soft as silk.Try this homemade skin whitening body scrub in the shower.Use about 1 TBSP. of the body scrub on your body once you’ve rinsed yourself with warm water. Move away from the stream of water and apply on lightly dampened skin. If your skin is too wet, the body scrub will slide off or melt too fast.Using circular motions, gently rub this mixture into your skin. Use as much pressure that’s comfortable for you. If the body scrub melts too fast, add another tablespoon and repeat. I like to keep this whitening body scrub in my refrigerator so it feels chilled against my skin on application, it also keeps the mixture solid longer. I also like to wait one minute before rinsing the body scrub off. It also acts like a “facial” for your body.The results are immediately smooth glowing skin that’s more fair. Over time, this body scrub will whiten your skin. Try using this amazing body polish three times a week. Your skin will lighten fast.ENJOY.

How? It’s a humectant.It draws moisture from the air like a sponge.It’s a guarantee for moisturized skin all day. Make your own humectant dewy spray with vegetable glycerine and waterHow to use Tatcha LuminousDewy Skin Mist for best resultsI love to spray this onto my face after I’ve cleansed, toned (use my acne-prone skin routine, and used my Tatcha the Ritual collection.)I pump two sprays of the fine mist onto my face. I like to use my fingers and make sure it’s worked into my skin and combined with any skin serums that are absorbed already.If I’m having a makeup-free day this is my final step. Your skin should look fresh and moisturized all day. If you tend to get dry around your eyes or mouth, you can add another spray later in the day to refresh.Or If you’re going to wear makeup, this is a great skin prep, way better than MAC studio fix+. Your makeup will spread more evenly too.If you have OILY skin, beware!Using this Tatcha Luminous DewySkin Mist can leave you looking more on the oily side instead of dewy and fresh.Know the difference.

I saw this on QVC. I researched, shopped, and purchased this skin care system myself.TATCHA has done an excuiste job bringing us the time honored geisha skin care secrets. The Tatcha skin care ingredients contain everything the elusive geisha use.Every Tatcha item explains a brief history of the natural skin care ingredients found in everything.From the unique Tatcha cleansing oil to Tatcha rice enzyme powder, my Tatcha skin care reviews cover all your questions.Can you imagine finding a 200 year old book that contains recipes for flawless skin? Yes, I’m talking about the look of smooth, porcelain, radiant skin you can’t help but stare at. That’s exactly what I’m covering in today’s Tatcha Skin care review. Enjoy.The skin care company TATCHA has respectfully and accurately brought this book to life for your convenience so you too can have beautiful skin like a geisha at home.I have nothing but respect for Victoria Tsai, she did her research and wyveloped such a high quality skin care brand I’ve grown to love.Everything from the ingredients, the beautiful branding and marketing, attention to detail, there’s even fun facts why the Geishas use the specific ingredients. Most of all a luxury skin care system that brings real results – gorgeous skin!Today I’m reviewing TATCHA The Ritual for Normal/Combination Skin. There’s four pieces to this collection.PURE One Step Camellia Cleansing OilPOLISHED Classic Rice Enzyme PowderRADIANT Deep Brightening SerumSUPPLE Moisture Rich Silk CreamEach item in this TATCHA The Ritual for Normal/Combination Skin is of the highest quality and makes a difference in your skin following each step.Step 1:PURE One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil ReviewCleanse with oil? Isn’t that bad for oil acne-prone skin?! Nope! This oil does not have a bad smell or leave a greasy feeling behind. It’s a lightweight cleaning oil that helps dissolve makeup on contact, even the thick water proof makeup.If you don’t wear makeup, this is still a great step because it helps deep down cleanse your pores of excess oil, old skin cells, sweat, dirt, air pollution, and more. It gently cleanses your skin and conditions it leaving behind glowing skin, not greasy skin.Here’s the Tatcha cleansing oil up closeSurprise! It foams with water! I was amazed how powerful but gentle this Tatcha cleansing oil is. It completely removed my matte foundation after a long hot day. My skin felt clean and refreshed after.I used two pumps on my face, swirled it around and I washed it off with luke warm water.I used another pump and massaged it into my face in upward strokes to massage my face muscles. I rinsed with luke warm water. It lathered like a cleansing milk and rinsed perfectly. There was NO oily residue. My skin type : combination. I get oily in my T-zone and dry under my eyes. Using this skin care system, Tatcha – the ritual agrees with my skin!Watch Tatcha remove my makeup – Yes it even removed my mascara and eyeliner. Tatcha PURE One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil up close -It’s not a thick latherThe story:“Discovery is an essential ingredient of beauty. The glowing skin and flowing hair unique to Anko, the Camellia-harvesting women of Oshima Island, were a mystery to most outsiders. But not to the Geisha, keepers of Japanese beauty secrets for generations.”Step 2:POLISHED Classic Rice Enzyme PowderIf you only want to try one product from TATCHA, I highly recommend you start by trying the classic rice enzyme powder. It’s my favorite step!The special ingredient in this Tatcha cleanser is Rice Bran. The rich lather this powder and water creates is luxurious. I lather and massage this cleanser onto my face and I let it sit on my skin for a moment and rinse it off with warm water. I feel like my skin is being instantly exfoliated by the enzymes. My skin feels incredibly deeply cleansed. I felt my skin was immediately more even toned.Here’s a photo of the Tatcha Rice Enzyme powder up close: Here’s a photo of the Tatcha Rice Enzyme powder wet. See the lather up close:I love using the rice enzyme powder. It feels like it’s deeply cleaning my skin.This is my FAVORITE step, I love how my skin feels after.After I rinse, my skin feels squeaky clean and polished like a pearl.The story:“When brewing their fabled drink, Japan’s sake masters, the Toji, constantly immerse their hands in Rice Bran, only to have them emerge fresh, pure, ageless. Geisha noticed this phenomenon and they still include Rice Bran among their beauty secrets today.”Step 3:RADIANT Deep Brightening SerumThis serum immediately gives you glowing skin. I feel that this step gives my skin a diffused soft focus glow. I can imagine this product helping blur the appearance of wrinkles. Your skin will appear more bright after using this cream.I felt like I didn’t need much foundation either! At the end of the day, my skin looks healthy without makeup and more glowy. I think this radiant deep brightening serum is what gives my skin the healthy youthful glow.I just apply two pumps and quickly feel it absorbing into my skin. The story:Some secrets are meant to be revealed. A lifelong secret of the Geisha is her bright, clear skin. Seen out of performance makeup, the color clarity of her complexion is dramatic. A mix of key natural ingredients have allowed generations of Geisha to achieve this regenerative wonder. This potent serum features Licorice, Scutellaria, and Jujube extracts working in harmony with our HADASEL-3 TM Bioactive Complex of Rice Bran oil, Red Algae and Green Tea.Step 4:SUPPLE Moisture Rich Silk CreamI was surprised how fast this absorbs into my face. My skin felt immediately pampered and nourished after applying this cream. My face looks smooth and moisturized. For some reason I thought my skin was going to look greasy after using a serum followed by this moisturizer but I was pleasantly wrong. I was so relieved to see my face didn’t look shiny.After this step I was able to apply my BB cream and foundation without any problem. My makeup set flawless. One thing I notice is that in the middle of the day at work, my skin is glowing. It took me a while to realize that my skin wasn’t greasy, it just had a natural soft glow. I blotted the glow on my nose and left the rest!Check out the little golden spoon Tatcha gives you with this luxurious cream Isn’t it cute?The story:“At the heart of beauty is the power to transform. Japanese Silk workers, daily handlers of shimmering silkworm cocoons, were known to have soft, youthful hands long into old age. Their customers, observant Geisha, adopted Silk extract as an essential part of their closely-held skin moisturizing regimen.” How fast can you expect to see results using Tatcha – the Ritual?I saw a difference in my skin immediately after trying the classic rice enzyme powder!!! My skin looked like I had a very deep down cleansing. My skin was immediately more even toned. My face looked radiant.After using Tatcha the Ritual, for two nights, my skin looks deeply hydrated and “glowing from within”My overall thoughts – Tatcha skin care reviewThis is the most unique skin care system I have ever used. I appreciate that this is a respectable duplicate of a Geisha’s skin care regimen. I trust that this is skin care for long term beautiful skin. I love and prefer natural skin care vs. chemical laden skin care systems.You may be a huge fan of my website and have noticed I have actually taken the time to make and use money saving natural skin care ingredients such as rice water for skin brightening, olive oil for makeup removal, coconut oil skin care body lotion, almond oil for dark under eyes, turmeric for acne, and more.If you have the money for a generous beauty budget, I HIGHLY recommend you try the TATCHA skin care system. For myself, I tried the Tatcha POLISHED Classic Rice Enzyme Powder. After one use, I was hooked! If one product made my skin amazing, I was curious how incredible using all four steps would be.My opinion is that the money is worth the investment in your skin care. If I can continue to afford this collection, I will defiantly continue to make future purchases from Tatcha.Once again I appreciate the accuracy creating the same or similar skin care that a geisha would use.The most important element, the Tatcha skin care ingredientsLearn more about each Tatcha Ingredient hereJapanese wild roseLoquat leafAbaca leafJapanese indigoColloidal oatmealPeonyGoldSilkRice branCamelliaGreen teaRed algaePearlLicorice I adore the handwritten notes with every order:I also ordered the 2016 limited edition Tatcha parasol. It’s the nicest parasol I have ever owned. It’s very high quality, from traditional parasol makers in Kyoto.It even came in some fancy draw string cloth bag.UPDATE: People have been asking me:Can I use Tatcha with my acne skin care products?YES. The skin can absorb all the products and work with the Tatcha skin care system as well as your regular acne skin care routine. For example, I have acne prone skin and I use this Tatcha skin care routine in this order for best results:Look:Use the Tatcha cleansing oilUse the Tatcha rice enzyme powderNOW Use your regular Acne cleanser, toner, and any spot treatment repair lotionUse the Tatcha brightening serumUse the Tatcha silk moisturizerTATCHA Promo Codes:Are you looking for Tatcha coupon codes or promo codes online?
