Lush Cosmetics Haul!

I wasn't going to go to Lush. We weren't even at the mall that sells Lush. But alas, on the way home we passed the mall and I asked Briam to stop so I could go to Lush. And we did. And we bought stuff. I was pretty excited about my experience at Lush. Even Briam got pampered a bit! We go some stuff for him and I got a few things for myself. To see all of the wonderful Lush products we got, make sure to watch the video below! 

Review: Yes to Tomatoes Daily Clarifying Cleanser

Have you ever come across a product that you feel has basically changed your life? Or just been pretty darn awesome? Me too. And this is it! The Yes to Tomatoes Daily Clarifying Cleanser has been quite a skincare game changer for me! I was a hardcore ProActiv fan and then I tried this. And let me tell you my face feels and looks amazing. All my zits and pimples cleared up, my blackheads have disappeared, and my skin tone is starting to even out. If you haven't tried this cleanser before, then you seriously need to! It's not hard to find and it's totally worth is money! 

Where to Buy:

Target - $13.49

Yes to Carrots - $9.99

Ulta - $9.99

Walgreens - $9.99

Beauty Haul: Basin, Ulta, and Sephora

I've been hoarding the things I got from Basin, Ulta, and Sephora so I could give you guys a proper collective haul! This is the first video I've ever made and I was so freaking nervous. I had to start over at least 10 times. I did my best. Being that this is my first video, please be nice. Everyone has to start somewhere! Well anyways, check out my haul video below! 

 

Soooooo, what did you think? Good? Bad? Decent start? 

Hope you enjoyed the haul! 

Basin Haul: All Natural Beauty Products

Recently, my doctor informed that I need to ditch all of my beauty products and switch to an all natural company. First of all, do you realize how shocked I was? I didn't want to throw away all of my favorite products! But after doing some research and having an extensive conversation with my doctor, I knew I had to do it. So how did I do it? Well, anything that was unopened or slightly used, I gave to my friends. (Who doesn't love free stuff?) And for the rest of it? B now uses it. His hair smells like cherry blossoms. 

Two companies that I found before I came across Basin were Dr. Bronner's and Avalon Organics. I found these brands at Target. I smelled every single products that each company had. I didn't care for any of them. And I'm sure both companies are amazing and many people use them, they just weren't for me. My hopes were a little crushed when I remembered that there was a store in Downtown Disney that sold beauty and bath products, Basin! After researching the brand further and telling my doctor about it, I found a winner! All Basin products are chemical free. They have "no paragons, alcohol, mineral oils, and are not tested on animals and are made in the USA." 

The best part? I was able to get 15% off my entire purchase because B had gotten us annual passes to Disney for Christmas! Sadly though, I can only get this discount if I purchase my products at the Basin located in Downtown Disney. But, this just adds another reason to go to Disney! 

Here are all the products I got at my latest trip to Basin! 

Love Hydrator: $14.99 

Love Moisturizing Soap: $13.99

I absolutely love both of these! I keep the lotion at my desk as a constant reminder to moisturize! Plenty of lotions have gone to waste because of the whole "out of sight, out of mind" dilemma. I keep the soap in our bathroom so B and I both use it! I love that the soap is a cleanser and a moisturizer in one! 

Good Hair Day Shampoo Bar: $7.99

Good Hair Day Conditioner Bar: $7.99

Basin had a deal going on, "Shampoo & Conditioner Bar Barrel", where you could mix and match four  shampoo and conditioner bars for $25. That's a savings of $6.96, which is almost the price of one bar! So I picked up two of each of the Good Hair Day bars. Each bar is supposed to last between 50 and 75 washes. 

Calamine Calming Soap: $6.99

Face Toner: $8.99

Face Lotion: $12.99

For the toner and the lotion, I got the type for Dry to Normal skin. I do have combination skin, but lately my skin has been slightly dry. 

Snowy Soap: $6.89 (Not sold online)

Caffeine Soap: $6.99

Queen For A Day Soap: $5.99

Black Oak Shaving Cream: $17.99

The snowy soap is part of their holiday collection. I guess it's only sold in-store. I actually bought the caffeine soap for B. I thought it would help him wake up in the mornings. I bought two of the Queen For A Day soaps! They smell so good and leave my skin feeling clean and soft! Now I know that this particular shaving cream is meant for a man, for his face, but I love it! It smells beyond amazing and my legs are so silky and smooth afterwards! 

Blush Solid Perfume: $9.99

I'm obsessed with this solid perfume! My biggest love about it? It's super travel friendly! You don;t have to worry about it leaking or breaking! I smelled all of the solid perfumes and this Blush scent was by far my favorite! 

Do you use Basin products?

What are some all natural beauty products that you use?

Side note: I am not endorsed, sponsored, or paid by Basin or Disney. But I'm obviously obsessed with both. 

Review: Kaeng Raeng 6-Day Cleanse

Looking to jumpstart your weight loss program for the New Year? Then you have to try the Kaeng Raeng 6-Day All Natural Detox Program! I decided to try this Detox for two reasons: I wanted to lose weight and I wanted to cleanse my body.

Let’s be honest here, the website and a few reviews say that the smoothies taste good. Lies. They taste like crap. I tried mixing the smoothie packets with water, milk, and juice. Still tasted like crap. I had to literally hold my nose and chug these things. The website says you can eat raw fruits and vegetables while you’re doing the detox, but I decided not to add anything to my diet except the smoothies. I drank at least a gallon of water per day, mostly to rid myself of the horrid taste of the smoothies. But you have to remember, this is only my opinion! I'm sure the smoothies actually taste decent... just not to me.

The website also says that once the detox is finished, you could be craving vegetables. Um… who really CRAVES vegetables? Well, it turns out that all I wanted to do for a week after the detox was eat vegetables. And this comes from a girl who was raised on steak and potatoes. In 1 week, I had eaten more vegetables than I had eaten in the past 6 months. I even started to enjoy vegetables that I NEVER have enjoyed, such as kale, tomatoes, and bell peppers.

Did the smoothies taste good? No. Did the Detox Program work? YES! I ended up losing 5.4 pounds in 6 days and, not to over divulge, my body was clean. Kaeng Raeng also offers a 3-Day detox if you don’t want to do the full 6-Day program. The total cost of the program ended up being: $95.99. I used a 20% off coupon code that I had found online. But the regular cost is $119.99 for the beginner program, and the shipping was free.
