5/29/2019 0 Comments The Best Aluminum-free deodorants
My sister and I are looking for a great deodorant with zero aluminum. We have recently heard that deodorants with aluminum might cause breast cancer. But of course, I researched some more about this topic and other deodorant options. Aluminum-based compounds in deodorants stop the flow of sweat to the skin's surface. Researchers suggest that deodorants that contain aluminum, applied regularly near the breast area may be absorbed by the skin and have estrogen-like effects. Estrogen can increase the growth of breast cancer cells. But no studies have proved that the effects of aluminum can contribute to increased breast cancer risks. My sister and I believe that it's better to be safe than sorry and we plan to switch to an aluminum free deodorant.
After going to target, my sister and I decided to research these three options before making a purchase. I feel like all three options are a great choice and are very affordable. There was another deodorant option but, it was about $16 to $17, expensive compared to the others.
1. Love Beauty And Planet
Love beauty and planet deodorants are plant-based, made with no aluminum, parabens, and alcohol. They have four different scents coconut oil/ylang-ylang, murumuru butter/rose, coconut water/mimosa flower, and argan oil/lavender. I liked the coconut water and mimosa flower one it had a pleasant smell. Price: $6.99
2. Dove 0% Aluminum Deodorant
Dove has both deodorants with and without aluminum. These new 0% aluminum deodorant claims to give you 24-hour odor protection and contains moisturizer. They have four scents pomegranate/lemon verbena, cucumber/green tea, coconut/pink jasmine, and blue fig/orange blossoms. Price: $5.99
3. Schmidt´s Deodorant
Schmidt´s deodorant is non-greasy, non-sticky, and has no artificial fragrance. They claim you only need a small amount to neutralize bad odors. They have so many scents to choose from bergamot/lime, lavender/sage, rose/vanilla, and charcoal/magnesium. Price: $8.99

5/18/2019 0 Comments The best Drugstore Makeup Palettes
Good quality makeup palettes are hard to find at the drugstore these days. Most of the palettes don't have more than six shades or are small quads. The quality with some of them are very hit or miss and the shade selection is very sad. I found three drugstore makeup palettes that are worthy and have that high-end quality performance.
1. PROFUSION EYESHADOW PALETTES
Profusion is a brand that has recently surprised me with their colorful makeup palettes. During the holidays, Profusion had one of the best holiday displays at my target. This is where I fell in love and had trouble choosing which palette I wanted. What really caught my attention was that they looked like actual palettes, not quads but, a 21 shade palette for $10. I decided to get the velvet matte palette and had to go back to get the confidence palette another day. I got more of the warmer tone palettes but, they have a variety of colorful options for people who love to play with brighter colors. These eyeshadows are creamy, blendable, and very pigmented. They're a great investment and affordable, it doesn't get better than that. Price:$9.99-$12.99
2. RIMMEL MAGNIF´EYES EYESHADOW PALETTES
Rimmel London has great 12 shade eyeshadow palettes that come in a variety of shades to choose from. I own three of these palettes, the spice, crimson, and the jewel rocks edition. I love the spice edition so much because I always wanted the Urban Decay Heat palette but, the high-end price always discouraged me. So, I had to wait until a drugstore makeup brand made a dupe for the Urban Decay palette that I really wanted. Rimmel was soon to bring me a dupe that was exactly what I needed with the affordable price we all love. Price:$7.97-$8.49
3. WETNWILD COLOR ICON EYESHADOW PALETTES
This is no secret after the blog post I wrote about my sister's drugstore makeup must-haves. I had already mentioned these palettes but, I feel that they deserve a spot in this blog. These palettes are great if you are just starting out in makeup and want to experiment with different colors. My sister and I own rose in the air, comfort zone, not a basic peach, nude awakening, my glamour squad, and v.i.purple. They recently launched four new palettes, my glamour squad, v.i.purple, cosmic collision, and stop playing safe. I really recommend them because they have a great variety of mattes, shimmer shades that will not break the bank. Price:$4.99

5/14/2019 0 Comments New must-try Wetnwild makeup
The drugstore never stops and there is always a new product or makeup release. Wetnwild just released their new limited edition Crystal Cavern Collection which includes 15 different items. Four trio eyeshadow palettes, two highlighters, four lip glosses, four perfumes, and a facial mist. I have not tried any of the products mentioned down below, this is simply to inform and to share my opinions.
1. Crystal Cavern mega Glo eyeshadow trios
As a part of this collection, they launched four eyeshadow trios, Jade, Rose Quartz, Amethyst, and Clear Quartz. They come in a triangle shaped palette and all of the palettes have 3 shimmer shades. So, if you really love shimmer or duo-chrome eyeshadows, these palettes are perfect for you. I would have liked a matte shade in the trios but, I know what direction they were trying to go for with this collection. Price:$4.99
2. Crystal Cavern Crystal High and Ifinity stones
I am always very excited when Wetnwild comes out with new highlighters because I love their megaglo highlighting powders. Wetnwild has some of the best highlighters in the drugstore and this new highlight in crystal high looks stunning. This is the product I am most excited about which claims to give you that glossy and luminous glow. They also released crystal-shaped brightening rocks which claim to minimize flaws and brighten skin. Price:$6.99
3. Crystal Cavern Lip Glosses
They also launched four new lip glosses which go with the palettes, Jade, Rose Quartz, Amethyst, and Clear Quartz. These pearl infused glosses claim to provide nourishment and moisture to the lips. You can wear these alone for a bold shimmery look or you can apply them over another lipstick for a little shimmer moment. Price:$3.99
4. crystal cavern Perfumes
I think these four rollerball perfumes are a very unique addition to this collection. I like that Wetnwild thought outside the box and brought more of a beauty product rather than another makeup product. The packaging is so beautiful with the infused pieces of crystals inside the clear bottle. Below the pictures, I will place a caption with the scents of each perfume. Price:$5.99
5. Crystal Cavern Face Mist
This megaglo face mist can be used as primer water and a setting spray. It helps conceal any type of redness and blemishes with witch hazel. In my blog post about the best drugstore skincare for oily skin, I mentioned that witch hazel has helped me clear up my skin. It also contains rose water, camellia saneness leaf, and coconut water to moisturize the skin. Price:$4.99

5/10/2019 0 Comments 4 New Makeup Products under $10
As soon as I walked into Walgreens, I noticed new products that I had never seen before and like always I end up in the makeup section.Your drugstore might already have these products or not, but they are new to me and my drugstore. I have not tried any of these products down below, these are pictures of products that I took while I was looking through the makeup section. These products are all under $10 and might be a great addition to your makeup collection.
1. Covergirl Outlast Active Foundation
I am so curious to try this new foundation I saw, which I think will be great for those days where you don't want to wear a bunch of makeup. It's the Covergirl active foundation, it claims to be sweat, transfer, and humidity proof. Available in 16 shades, up to 24-hour wear and contains sunscreen to protect your skin. It comes in a squeeze tube which is great for your purse or gym bag. Price:$8.99
2.Covergirl COLORLICIOUS LIP GLOSS
Another product that caught my attention was these Covergirl lip glosses that come in a very sleek tube. They claim to be the perfect gloss we are all looking for with high shine, rich color, and without that stickiness. I don't know if these are new, but they're new to me and the packaging is stunning. Price:$5. 94
3. WET N WILD LASH-O-MATIC MASCARA
I had never seen this Wet n Wild mascara kit with a primer and a mascara. The black tube is the priming and sealing mascara. The white tube is the lengthening mascara with nylon fibers. You apply the black tube first ,then the white and then the black again to achieve the false lash look in three easy steps. Price:$7.99
4. REAL TECHNIQUES MIRACLE FACE +BODY SPONGE
The Real Techniques face and body sponge is not new, but it comes in a new color, which of course made it stand out. As we know it always comes in orange, like the smaller complexion sponge. This sponge is the bigger version of the regular complexion sponge, it's ideal for highlighters, bronzers, and body makeup. I want to try this sponge because I feel like it will save me so much time, I would blend all my foundation in a minute. This new image looks so nice with the pink and peachy colors, which will encourage many people to buy it.
Price:$4.75-$6.99
