SkinCareRX: M2 Advanced High Potency Skin Refinish (Mama Lotion Formula)

In my early teen years, I suffered from severe cystic acne.
It literally covered every inch of my face. It was kind of traumatic.
I tried every treatment out there, but none of them cured it-- some made it a teeny bit better, some made it so much worse.
I seriously don't even know how I made it through those times (it was really bad), but thankfully, my acne kind of just went away as I got older.
I mean, I still get the occasional breakouts, here and there, but it doesn't get as bad anymore.


$39.50

So, to help me get rid of those "occasional breakouts," I got me a bottle of M2 Skin Refinish in Mama Lotion Formula from SkinCareRx.
Before buying it, I read a bunch of reviews about it since I am kind of iffy about trying new skincare products.
I have super sensitive skin, so I'm really careful.
So many people seemed to really love the Mama formula, so I just jumped and bought it. 

The first week, my skin got extremely dry!
It didn't really freak me out since it was expected.
It wasn't that much of a problem either. I just applied double the amount of moisturizer.
You will also feel a little tingling sensation.

After weeks and weeks of using it, I noticed that my skin got so much better!
My breakouts lessened and it doesn't get dry anymore.
I've also noticed that my foundation goes on more smoothly than before. (I have no idea if it has connection, but yeah...)
It has a pump for easy application. I just use my hands to apply it on my face.
There is a bit of stench to it. 
At first, I was taken aback by it, but now, I can barely even smell it.

M2 can also be used for erasing dark spots.
I also suffer from hyperpigmentation, meaning my pimples will leave a scar, even if I don't do anything to it.
I recently got new pimples and they have already left new scars. :/
I've noticed that my scars did get lighter, however, it hasn't completely erased it.

The reason why it says "Mama Lotion Formula" is because they discontinued it before, I believe.
But due to popular demand, they brought back the original version, hence the Mama Lotion Formula!

Overall, I'm pretty pleased with this product.
I'm actually thinking about buying a new bottle, since I'm almost out.

I give it a 4.5 out of 5!

Chicnova: Sunnies & Harem

I have always wanted to own a pair of harem pants.
That's why I was so stoked to receive one from Chicnova.


Chicnova recently sent me these 2 pieces:

- a pair of black harem pants
- tinted sunglasses


$24.80

Made from soft fabric.
Elastic waist.
Harem style.
Gathering pleats.
Twin hip pockets.
Tapered legs.
Comes in other colors: green, pink, orange, blue

I chose the color black.
I feel like I always opt for the bright colors, so this time around, I wanted to go for a basic one.
Everything about this pair of pants is absolutely perfect, except it's a teeny bit small. :/
I love the tapered legs and the pleated detailing, but for some reason, it doesn't fit me.
It does have an elastic waist, however, I think it still runs a bit small. Maybe because I'm on the taller side?
Other than that, it's a great buy!
Especially for those of you who have a lean, petite frame.


$9.90

A lightweight metal frame.
Adjustable nose pads for added grip.
Green color tinted lenses.
Slim metal temples.
Curved temple tips for added comfort.

I have been wanting round shaped sunnies and I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair.
I wouldn't say these particular ones are the perfect buy, but they come pretty close.
I love the green tint. I'll be able to creep on people behind them. Haha. (C'mon. I know you guys do that too!)
I also like how it's really lightweight. 
It doesn't leave a mark on my cheeks like my other shades do. 
My only complaint would probably be the size of the lenses.
I would like them to be slightly bigger, but it's still really cute as is.
I feel all retro while wearing them. ;)


Be sure to check out Chicnova for other unique pieces. I promise you guys, you will love it!

Firmoo has brought you guys, yet, another set of amazing new arrivals for the month of July....

A pair of vintage eyeglasses is somewhat the bravest choice that you could try on this summer. There is a popular believe that retro look is the most classical one when you make good use of it. Vintage eyeglasses are mixed with the standard and subdued colors. So they could easily get highlighted during a nighttime or in a crowd. Excitingly, you can find your First pair for free for vintage eyeglasses at Firmoo.com.

Bagable: FLORALS & CORALS

Happy Tuesday!!!

Another week is upon us.
So many things happened this past weekend, it's crazy.
First, the news of the Zimmerman case being acquitted (So unfair. I don't know what's going on with the jury. He was obviously guilty!), then came the death of "Glee" star Cory Montieth (So sad and unexpected. I was a BIG fan!). And apparently Kyle Massey (That's So Raven's Cory) has cancer?! WHAT?!

This weekend was just so full of bad news, I think we all need a bit of cheering up.
I don't know about you guys, but when things in my life gets a little too dark, I like to dress up COLORFUL!
It's just really makes me happy when I see bright colors.
Don't you agree?

£48.30
The Nica Vanessa Shoulder Bag is a stylish and practical bag that has a statement textured finish and contrast panels. A sleek Nica fitting gives this bag a chic finish that would work both casually and in the work place. There is one large section which is secured by a large flap and twist lock. Inside, the main compartment is secured by a zip has plenty of room to keep everything you need and more and has a zipped pocket along the back wall and 2 open drop pockets on the front wall. On the front of the bag there is a large open pocket which can also fit plenty in and will help keep you organised while on the move. The bag is fully lined in a high quality cloth material and features a stylish floral pattern

Chris from Bagable sent me this beautiful handbag.
I think the CORAL color is just absolutely perfect for the summer!
It's not too big. nor too small: just the PERFECT size. I can even use it as a school bag.
It features a long and short strap. Meaning you'll be able to carry it via "forearm" or "shoulders" (pictured above). Haha.
It also has a floral-like quilted detailing in the front, along with a gold twist lock.
It's very roomy. I can fit A LOT of things inside the main compartment. 
It's made out of high quality cloth, which is very important when it comes to handbags.
It also comes in 3 other colors: MINT, BLACK, and BEIGE
I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH. It's definitely my new go-to bag. ;)


To add more liveliness to the outfit AND to match the "floral-like" detailing in front of the handbag, I wore my new floral cropped tee that I purchased from a local boutique.
It has a low back, which I thought was really cute.
I paired it with my Forever 21 navy blue cotton skirt, exposing a sliver of midriff skin. ;)


For accessories, I wore my 2 owl necklaces. Aren't they so cute? 
And for my shoes, I wore my trustee snake skin sandal flats. 
I've had these since I was in 8th grade.
Can you guys believe that?! For some reason, I just cannot get myself to throw them away! Haha.

I hope this post brought somewhat of a SMILE on your faces.
Have a great week!!! :D
