May Empties

I wrote my last Empties post all the way back in January. Even though it's been a while, I haven't collected many empties. This should change soon, however, since I've been using the same products every day ever since I started having to stick to a tight budget.

Radical Skincare Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads | $75

You can read my review about this product here. Would I repurchase this product? No because I didn't like it enough to want to pay $75 for it.

What to Wear in Vegas ft. Vegas.com

I am considering going to Las Vegas in July to celebrate the 21st birthday of a close friend of mine, so when I was approached by Vegas.com about the My Vegas Style challenge, I seized the opportunity to style a lookbook that I can potentially use.

Vegas.com is a website that is the ultimate guide to Las Vegas. It contains a vast range of information from how to get to Las Vegas to what attractions there are. For this challenge, I was tasked with styling a few outfits for some of what the Aria has to offer.

Review: Whish Shave Crave Shaving Cream and Flawless Ingrown Hair Serum

I participated in an influencer activation program on behalf of Millennial Central for Whish Body. I received a promotional item and Whish Body samples to facilitate my review.

Whish is a brand specializing in body products that aims to create indulgent and luxurious body treatment experiences for women. Whish achieves this by using organic ingredients in its products. Its products are all free from parabens, sulfates, TEAs and DEAs, and petrochemicals, making them all natural. Because of this, Whish products are gentle on the skin, resulting in moisturizing and soothing body treatment experiences.

The brand offers a wide array of body treatment products, namely body washes, deodorants, exfoliators, moisturizers, tanners, and, of course, its most notable product line: shaving cream.

The products came in these adorable tubes.

I was given the opportunity to review two of their shaving products: the Shave Crave Shaving Cream in Pomegranate and the Flawless Ingrown Hair Serum.

A Sleeveless Summer ft. Dove Advanced Care

I participated in an influencer program on behalf of Mom Central for Dove. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.

 
There is nothing more unattractive than sweat stains, so in the summer, sleeveless clothes are our best friends.

Unfortunately sleeveless clothes come with complications too. You can still get sweat stains. Also, since your underarms will be exposed, youll be shaving them, which means that they could potentially be dry and irritated.

 

This is where Dove comes in. They have a new Advanced Care line of antiperspirants and deodarants that claims to offer 48-hour odor and wetness control.

What My Mother Taught Me

Moms are like fingerprints; no two are alike. Our fingerprints arent even like our moms even though they gave it to us. Anyway my point is everyones mom is different, but if theres one thing that some of our moms have in common, besides carrying us around in their bodies for a really long time, its that they taught us a lot of what we know today.

Yes, my ridiculousness started at a young age.

Btw the younger one on your left is my sister.

My mom too taught me a lot of what I know today. Since today is Mothers Day, I decided to do what everyone else is doing (Yay, bandwagon ride!), and dedicate a post to my mom. I will do that by listing a few things related to beauty and style that my mom taught me that I still live by to this day.

How to Layer Makeup

My style philosophy has always been: simple pieces make sophisticated outfits. Instead of spending paycheck after paycheck on complete sets of outfits, buy simple, versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched into different outfits for different occasions. This mantra serves me well especially since Im still on a college budget, so I decided to apply that philosophy into makeup.

With so many beauty trends floating around, it can be very tempting to splurge on hauls to complete those looks. Let us apply the "simple pieces make sophisticated outfits" theory to a few beauty trends.
