Simple Make-Up Remover Review

Image result for simple sensitive skin eye pads
So I recently went on a trip out of state so I needed something to take off my makeup but was travel size.

These 30ct of Micellar Make-Up Remover Eye Pads with Mineral & Plant Extract
WORKED! 

I've used Simple makeup remover wipes before. And I can say I have had some trouble with the formula bothering my eyes. 

Now with these thin round pads do not bother my eyes at all and it takes everything off!
I literally only use 2-3 pads depending on how intense the look.

These 30ct packs retail at Wal*Mart for $5.00 u.s.
Make sure you give these little pads a look next time you're down a makeup aisle.
Let me know if you give them a try or any of the other Simple products.

Ready to catch some Zzz's?

Hey Zombabes!


Having a hard time sleeping?
Tired of waking up tired?
Do I sound like an infomercial?
Hahaha
For real now.

Influenster was awesome and sent me some ZzzQuil!

I already have a hard time sleeping as it is with work, or lack there of at times.
Stress doesn't help either.
And with all of that, sometimes fun doesn't happen until after midnight.

So, I tried it the other night when I knew I'd be able to sleep in the next day and actually try it out.
Posted this on my Snapchat [ Zombodytolove ] that night. 
Along with vlogging both that night and the day after, 
Make sure to look for that quick video on my Youtube channel!
Don't forget to give it a like and subscribe if you haven't!


Now for what you're really here for. My experience...

As you'll see in my video, if you do watch, I wasn't fully convinced. I do believe ZzzQuil does work, considering NyQuil usually does the tick, anyone else agree? 
However they say it will be instant and 8 hours. 
Which it was neither.
After a 2 hour wait of trying to sleep, I finally passed out. Only to wake up as I usually do during the night. Only once though, which is a rarity. And I only got about 6, maybe 7 hours of sleep. 
I think given time ZzzQuil could be more effective.

Or maybe I wasn't meant to sleep.

Reversing my routine...

Hey Zombabes!

So Influenster sent me TRESemmé! 


That's right, I was one of the first to try the Shampoo and Conditioner from the #ReverseYourRoutine collection. 

Let me tell you lovely readers, I am very picky about what I use in my hair. So trying any new product always gives me anxiety. Not to mention I LOVE having my hair soft like a feather. So my fears in  using the conditioner first were really prominent

Yes you read that right, you have to condition your hair first.
Then you shampoo second.

Thank you to the soul who suggested the large numbers on the bottles. Because knowing me I'd completely forget and just use it like a normal product. 
Now for what you came for

First Impressions
I literally was freaking out and telling all of my friends. It took me a little over a week to build up the courage to wash my hair with these. But I did it! And I read the back of the bottles a good three times before I put anything in my hair. Like I took my time! So you're to use the conditioner first, that's why that bottle has a large #1 on it. 2-3 pumps it said, so I did 3 but felt like 4 would be perfect. 
The scent wasn't strong but nothing bad at all. using that first in my hair made it feel heavy, granted when you wash your hair the water weighs it down but I don't think that was the case this time. 
Now when I used the shampoo, it's use as normal. Lather that baby up and get all bubbly, maybe even sing about a pocket full of sunshine. Here's when I had some issue. once said and done with my shower i felt my hair and thought "How the hell am I supposed to brush this, it feels too dry". Let me tell you. I was wrong.

Thoughts
Never in my life I thought I would fall in love with washing my hair like this. They really changed my life with this. My hair feels so soft, so light weight, so voluminous! And what more could a girl want right? Well a lot of things actually. Like frizz control. But I had no problems with that either. 

Recommendations
Give it a try. It's inexpensive. 
Don't assume this was a bad idea.
Tell a friend!

L'Oreal EverPure Repair & Defend Review

Hey Zombabes!

I know it's been a while since I've actually blogged, well as I already once said....
I'm going to try to start writing again. 
Baby steps though...
Right?

Well lets get this party started!

I received L'Oreal's EverPure Repair & Defend:
Shampoo
Conditioner
Mask
Lotion



 Shampoo
The shampoo gives my hair this refreshed feeling, like when you chew on a fresh piece of mint gum. It's a soothing and relaxing sensation. 

Conditioner
As far as conditioner, I say it does its job. I literally love when I wash this out of my hair. Why you ask, well because every time I do, I imagine I am sitting back and someone else is running their fingers through my hair and it just feels so fresh and smooth. 

Mask
Considering I've never done a hair mask, I was 100% Scared! I didn't know what to expect and you an be sure my anxiety went crazy. BUT I did it, and I'm glad I did. The first time I did it I fell in love with how soft my damaged hair felt! Granted I did get frizzy hair but I believe I resolved that problem when I used it the second time, following it with the lotion.

Lotion
This is a product I use with every hair washing session, Considering I wash my hair every other day I can say this for sure keeps my frizz down to an appropriate level. It also makes my hair soft if I don't use the hair mask that day. Not that I don't use it when I use the mask as well.

So over all I am so beyond glad influenster sent me these products to test and review because they're now in my essentials. I recommend you try at least one of these products though I believe they work best when used together.


Make sure you check out my Unboxing video on Youtube for extra information about these wonderful products!

Taupe-Less Beach - O.P.I

TAUPE-LESS
BEACH!!!


I fell in love with the name, thats for sure!
I seen this polish at Sally's Beauty supply.

I first seen the color and it was a tone I had been searching for. Because over the past few weeks I've been really loving the more neutral colors rather then my brights I'm always wearing. 
I wasn't quite sure about getting the polish due to it being O.P.I
Now don't get me wrong, I love the consistency of O.P.I 
I just don't enjoy the prices.


None the less I paid the price, the name truly sold me. 

I am not wearing the color in the photos, but I am wearing it as I write this.
The color has a purple undertone to it. Which I don't mind at all.
Actually kind of like it. I did two coats of it with no clear coat. 
But that was for my preference, so to each their own on that.
the polish is thick. If done right, you may only need one coat.

All in all I give this color a 4 out of 5 unicorns.
My only downfall being the price.

Que Bella - Deep Cleanse

Goodmorning! 
Grab your coffee because it is time to relax. 

Over the weekend I tried another Que Bella mask. 
(First Q.B. mask review Click Here)
This was the Deep Cleansing mask, in which I was in dire need of. 


I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, it has been quite some time since I used this brand. 
As for instructions, it seems to me that they're the same as before. 


So I did as advised, rinsed-applied-relaxed.
Once I took the mask off, which came out of this packet looking like this.


And applied with more of a clear consistency, I felt my skin to be more smooth then before. A bit of my redness had diminished as well. As for a deep cleanse, I'm not quite sure how well this one worked. I remember looking at my nose and feeling like I still needed to do a nose strip. But it was better then it was beforehand, I wont deny that. 

In total this mask specifically, I give it a 3 out of 5 unicorns. 
Down falls-- Feeling like I still had to do more for a full cleanse.
Plus side-- Inexpensive, relaxing, leaves skin feeling smooth.

Anyway, I hope this helps you decide if it is worth a try. Let me know if you do try this one or any other Que Bella masks.

Pink Lady Lips review

MILANI
I love you for naming this shade Pink Lady, it's just so cute!


So lets get down to business, 
I went to CVS when they had their big beauty sale. I seen some of their Milani items were on sale, just not all of them. 
Meaning I was bummed when I couldn't get 2 lipsticks, that called my name, for dang near $1.50
None the less I got myself this lovely gloss, that also called my name.


Again the shade is 07 Pink Lady, which I feel is a good fit for the shade.
I enjoy pink shades very much, during the spring time so this will be used quite often in a few months. And maybe on and off during the holiday season. 


Just to see the back of this, I actually like that their label isn't just a sticker. It's printed on the packaging. 



Here is the swatch of it with a flash, it's a very nice soft pink shade, one I'd love to have as a lipstick as well, so yes I might try to hunt that down. As for the product, the scent is a bit of bubblegum and cotton candy. It is sticky as any lipgloss is, I think this is just one of those glosses that i nice to have in your bag when you're in need of a little pink shine. This might make a good gift this holiday season for someone who wishes to expand their lip gloss selection. Over all I give this a 3/5 Unicorns. Only because I don't like how sticky this actually is.

Rockin' Lipgloss

Oh goodness who here remembers always having to have rock candy as a kid? 
I know I do! 

So when I seen these lip glosses at Claire's I about spazzed. Not only were they on sale (10 for $10) I looked online and they have more flavors. You can click HERE to check them out on the official Dylans webpage. 


I purchased the only one they had, luckily I am a fan of the Strawberry flavoring. But fist I wanna talk about the packaging. 

I really enjoy how realistic the lip gloss looked from afar. I seen it and was like woah what is that, I need some of that in my life. When I seen it was $1 and a lipgloss, you know I didn't set it back down. Oh and originally this is $8.50 which is a little much for a lipgloss but I'll give it props cause it is Dylans. 
I'd also like to mention this is my first Dylans product and so far, it's goin good. 


Here's a look out of the packaging, It's all plastic, and not sharp, so don't worry you wont hurt yourself. 
I did notice that it shines like rock candy does in some lighting which is really cool. 
Now this flavor turned out to be clear, and I expected a hint of pink to be honest. 
I don't know if this goes for all flavors but non the less, I still like it.


Let's talk about the scent of this. Have you ever had those sour candies that you had to squeeze out of a tube? I cannot for the life of me remember the name, please tell me if you know what I'm talking about. But thats what this smells like! And I highly love it!! It makes me want to eat it. But please DO NOT consume this. This is a beauty product, not food. In that, I should mention the warning label about consumption at the bottom of the clear packaging. As any lip gloss would have, just don't eat it. 

Now for the product itself, it is a bit sticky and thick. I had to pat mine on via the applicator. 
Then had to smooth it out like any normal lip product. In total I give this a 3/5 unicorns. My only downfall is that its near $10 just for 1 product, and the second down fall is the thickness of the product, as well as not having any shade to it. But that last one doesn't mean  I wont use it.

Retail is taking over!

How many of you have been watching tv lately? So you've seen the Christmas commercials?
I swear I started seeing them not even a week into November.
I couldn't believe it at first. 

BUT

Then I realized this right here is a sign!
Retailers are taking over.
I mean this truly bothers me. And I'm a girl that loves to shop. 
Turkey comes before presents okay?
And Christmas isn't even about the gifts. I mean the best gift you could give is to be with the ones closest to you. 
That's what it means to me at least. I don't care if you give me anything, I'd rather get nothing and be with the ones I love. Then get all these material things in life and feel alone. 

I just can't. 

That's just me though. And I really hope that retail realizes, rather then opening stores on Thanksgiving day at 6pm, in which some people call dinner time.
That they should be opening at midnight, aka BLACK FRIDAY!
Thanksgiving and well the Holiday season is about family and giving back. Well how are some people supposed to do that when they're either working or shopping because all of the damn sales?

Don't get me wrong I love a good sale just as much as the next person. But I love my family too, and I'd want to spend time with them more now then anything.
I guess getting older, even though I'm only 23, I've learned family wont always be there.
Because life does happen, and the ones you love wont always be around. So in all of this ranting, I hope you see my point. 

Spend time with your family this holiday season. 
Don't let material things get in the way of good memories. 

If you read my whole rant, thank you. Do you agree with me though? Do you feel like retailers are trying to take over? Let me know in the comments.

Stress and Tomatoes

As stated in my recent video ( Click Here ) I have been stressed beyond belief. So let me vent a little. I have had so much going on and I didn't know what to do about my hair literally falling out in chunks and my skin breaking out. This product was less then a dollar and I thought why not, I haven't had a spa day in a while. So to my surprise this actually helped. 


Yes to tomatoes, clear skin. Was one of those impulsive purchases that consisted of payment through pocket change, 
I opened the packet to find the color of the mask just a grey, off white. Not too sure about there being a scent to it considering I've been sick for a few weeks but I'm pretty sure there wasn't one. But I could be wrong, correct me if you know. 
It was one of the type of masks that felt like clay when you put it on, then  you let it dry for 5 minutes. and wash it right off. 
After I did all that my skin did feel much more smooth. I also felt that this packet had more then enough for 2 masks though it only says one. So I suggest you have a spa day with your best friend or save it for another day. 
In total this product gets a 4/5 unicorns with me. And I hope I can find more at such a great price.

Chocolate mask! Yay or nay?

Okay so I tried something so crazy, I kinda loved it. A hot chocolate face mask! 


I am a fan of Montagne Jeunesse masks already, and I am a HUGE fan of chocolate. But who isn't right? Well I seen this and about squealed in the middle of the local store. I purchased it for just under $2.00 and couldn't wait to give it a try. 


Needless to say I followed the steps as shown. I honestly didn't know what to expect, so let me tell you my experience.

When I opened the packet, I found the mask was a dark chocolate brown. Which I did expect considering it is a chocolate mask. 

 
Now when I started to apply the mask, it began to warm up like hot chocolate. Did I mention the scent of it was of a rich chocolate with a hint of orange! Needless to say I wanted to eat my face. 

After I washed off the mask, I could see and feel the difference in my skin. I absolutely loved this mask and I was so happy I had enough left over to do a second mask a few days later. 

On my recommendation, I say give this mask a try if you're a chocolate lover like me.

Zombie Flesh: Review

Muahaha its finally my favorite time of the year. So to start off the season Id like to talk about a product I purchased at Walmart for $2.00

ZOMBIE FLESH 


Click here to watch first impression:

So after wearing the product, I do NOT recommend this product for any sort of zombie look. Maybe if you want to pull of elephant skin? Or a overly dried face mask. But who has ever seen a grey zombie? It wasn't as cracked as promised. I just over all was not impressed. I guess I got what I paid for. And I will for sure be on the hunt for other products. 


For $2 you get 1 oz of this grey paint. And you get let down by the quality. Here's a look at what it came to be after a while of wear. 


Again. I don't recommend this for a zombie look. But maybe you can find a use for it.

3D Fiber Lash Mascara Review

So I'm sure by now many of you have heard or seen something about this 3D Fiber Lash Mascara from Younique. I was finally able to get my hands on some and I even did a first impressions video on my youtube channel. ( http://youtu.be/GumIcYKGGmE )

Here is the product case itself.

I absolutely love the packaging with this product. It's different, bold, and really makes the product stand out from any other mascara. It opens up just like any case for glasses. 

Inside look. 

Inside you get two tubes. 
First one you must use over one layer of your favorite mascara. In my video I used the L'oreal Lashout butterfly mascara. But over time I found the best one to use was the Covergirl Clump Crusher. 

You have to apply the Moodstruck Transplanting Gel after the one layer of your favorite mascara. This is what the brush looks like. 

Quickly after applying the gel you will want to take the Moodstruck Natural Fibers and apply it to your lashes. Now you don't want to apply too much or you'll get fibers all over. After that layer, you'll apply another coat of the gel and continue the process until desired results.

The fiber brush.
 Hopefully with these two photos you can see the brush isn't so much of a brush and the fibers look as though they're tiny hairs.

I did follow the tips that came along with the mascara, and that was to do one eye at a time. You really do need to be quick with the fibers and gel. I truly enjoy the falsies look I get from this product. And I do have to say it is all trial and error. This is great to have if you're not into wearing falsies but desire the look. The price did have me question if it was worth a try but in the end there is always good deals out there with younique. And thus far I haven't been disappointed with their product. 

Thanks for reading! Be sure to check out more of my videos on youtube. And stick around for more in depth reviews here. Also you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram, links are provided in the downbar of all my videos. 

Peace!

Que Bella masks!


Morning Ladies! 

So I had such a stressful day yesterday, I thought why not do a face mask today. 

I'm trying out this one as I type want proof? 


Now I know what you're probably thinking, she could've taken this before hand. But hey that's my proof so it's up to you to believe me or not. Now on with my review! :) 

This mask is from Que Bella bath & beauty. I purchased it at Target for I believe $2. There were more from this brand that are supposed to do other things. Such as deep cleansing (which I also purchased). The one I'm using today is the Purifying tea tree & witch hazel mud mask. 


Not too sure if you can read it. But it says to rinse your face with warm water before applying then wait 15 minutes. So I decided to type this out while I waited. I've still got a few more minutes to go hit I can tell you it feels minty. And I enjoy when a mask can give me that feeling. 

---------

Okay so my alarm went off for my time, and I rinsed off the mask as instructed. After I patted my face dry, I have to say I like this mask. It gave me a refreshed feeling, like after a normal face wash. But slightly different with a minty feeling at the end.  My skin definitely feels cool, and like I could rock the no makeup look today.
