So over it

I'm sure there's something you can relate to with the title of this moment. 

Go ahead, admit it. I won't judge you.

I can give you a list of "over it" topics.

Like this Depression.

I know it's there. I can literally feel it weighing me down. 

Waking up bubbly and happy and within an hour am I feeling as if I'm a nuisance.

I've wasted away so many of my days, I'm ashamed of it. And strangely afraid of it. 

I'm afraid that it'll soon get the better of me once again. Fighting it everyday is exhausting. 

I'm literally sitting here writing out every thought when it starts up. "Who is going to want to read this?" So that's usually when I ask or say if you're still reading this... Well I caught myself this time. 

And I want to thank you in this moment for reading my thoughts, hearing my emotions. Just letting me talk. I miss writing. Typing. Crafting. I miss my therapy. But I have no energy. 

Help Me. 

Simple Make-Up Remover Review

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.

Who am I?

Hey Zombabes!!

Welcome back, and if you're new...WELCOME!!!!

I'm April

 I hope you enjoy following my life journey.

About July 2018

I've been up and down emotionally and mentally that's for sure.

I have a question for you... Why is it so hard for a woman to get a dang job?

I have put in countless applications online and drove around town until I felt so physically drained I was shaking!

Here I am, with no positive responses. And I'm still waiting for some responses. 

This is exactly why I want to be my own boss.

I always have.

But I have to ask you, What would you like to see from me?

Please comment and let me know. I want to provide you with what you want to see. 

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.

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

Each product on their own as something to offer.

 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.

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.

Plans and goals

Ah, hello loves.

So if you are still reading, I love you.

January I plan to stick to a new video every other day. And at least start doing 3 blog posts a month.

February is going to be a special month for me on YouTube and I really hope you check it out. HINT the entire month is dedicated to 1 series of videos, it'll be 14 videos total. 

So this is my two month plan. Hopefully I can get plans going for march and such. Do you have any requests? Are you excited to see the future videos and posts?

My main goal. I would love to hit 1,000 subscribers by my second year on YouTube. Which isn't until new years eve. So I totally see that as a reasonable goal.

I hope you stick around for more posts and videos. Thanks for reading my random babble.

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.

Juicy Dreamin'

As stated in my last post, I wouldn't mind not getting anything this Christmas.

Chances are that's exactly what'll happen. 

But non the less, that doesn't mean I can't grab something for myself if the sale is worth it. 

In that, I should tell you. Every year my family has done a game for the holidays so everyone gets a gift. Then you would go on and get more if you wanted to. 

So upon that I may or may not get myself something I want, knowing I wouldn't get it. So why would I pass up the sale right?

Question: Do you buy yourself a gift during the holidays? Your birthday? Romantic days?

My Answer: Yes, I'm totes a loner like that. 

So lets get to the point of this post. 

JUICY!

I am in love with Juicy Couture.

It is a secret addiction since I was in high school. And I never owned anything of their until now. 

I own a purse and it's probably my favorite one I've ever owned. If you wanna see it and see whats inside, Just click HERE.

But this is the product I wanna talk about. Viva La Juicy, I mean hello beautiful!

I got a sample of this from Sephora, and Oh My Gosh!

This lady is in love. 

So this is that one thing I'm going to get myself this season, and hey if by chance this is that gift I get from the family games, well I wont be bummed at all because that just means more Juicy!

Have you ever had this? Gosh I wish you could do a scratch and sniff with the screen on your device. I just think you all need to smell this at least once in your life. And hopefully you become as addicted as I do. 

Thanks for sticking around for my babbling. If you would be ever so kind to hit that subscribe button listed somewhere on this page. I would be grateful.

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.

The shade I own is "Thankful" and I am in love!

This is my first Tarte product, and I want more! I love the color this gives me, especially when I feel I am in dyer need of it. So in that, here it the swach also from the video on my channel. 

This product is available in many other shades, in which you can find on Sephora and I am sure you can find elsewhere. I really really love this and can't say enough good things. I highly recommend this, and give it a 5/5 unicorns! 

I know this was quick but just in case you missed the video I thought I'd write about it here.

Smith's Rose & Mandarin Lip Balm: Full review

So I received this product from my best friend. And I did the first impression video which is up on my channel now.  But I wanted to share my full review here with you. 

This is my 2nd Smith's product and I love it. The first one ended up being one of my top 5 in my bag at all times. But now things have changed. I dropped this beauty in my purse after opening it and I've been using only this one since then, unless I have lipstick on. 

The smell is completely delightful. It's got that citrus smell with a sheer pink tint for your lips. It is the perfect product for the summer time. And I'm not gunna lie. It makes me want to eat more oranges. Hahaha. 

I'm not sure of how much it retails for, or where she got it. But I cannot thank her enough for bringing this into my life. This lip balms has 5/5 unicorns for me. And I recommend every girl having this in their beauty collection. 

Be sure to check out my video on youtube to see my first impression!

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. 

Thanks for reading! Want a review on the deep cleansing? Let me know! Also be sure to subscribe to my youtube channel ( youtube.com/user/ZombodyToLoveVideos )
