Dove Men + Care Hydrating Clean Comfort Body and Face Wash


Dove Men + Care Hydrating Clean Comfort Body and Face Wash has such a fabulous fresh scent that can be used by both men and women. My guy loves it and I do as well. 

My boyfriend can be very stinky when he comes home from work. This body wash combats the stink and he smells so fresh and clean after using it! The fresh scent lingers on his body even after he's showered. 

He also loves that it's a multi purpose product and he can use it on his face and body as he cannot be bothered with a separate face and body wash. It lathers up really well and leaves skin so soft, clean, and hydrated. I have personally been using Dove body products for over 30 years because they are the best and recommended by my dermatologist. πŸ’―

About:
This body wash is specifically designed for men’s skin by the #1 dermatologist recommended men’s brand since 2013. Typical soap for men strips away oil and other essential skin components, leaving you with dry, flaky, and irritated skin. Dove Men+Care is a mild cleanser with plant-based moisturizers and skin-strengthening nutrients to help rebuild skin and skin proteins. Dove Men+Care Body and Face Wash is an easy-to-rinse, hydrating body wash that is clinically proven to fight dry skin better than a regular men’s body soap or shower gel. It is also gentle enough to use as a face wash for men. Clean Comfort features a fresh, crisp scent that will leave you feeling refreshed long after you shower.


You can never go wrong with Dove body products. The price is right and you really can't get much better than Dove when it comes to body care. It's simple yet effective πŸ‘Œ

Weekly Favourite | Cala Eye Need It Essential Makeup Brush Kit Review


I spotted this gorgeous, budget-friendly Cala Eye Need It Essential Eye kit at my local Marshall's store. They had it available in black, pink, silver/multi-metal, and this rose gold set that I purchased. I knew right away that I had to have it as it is perfect for travel and to throw in my makeup bag that I keep in my purse. Little did I know that I would end up using it for my everyday eye makeup!

Since I have been keeping my makeup routine very simple these days, I now keep my everyday makeup in my bathroom, and this brush set takes up very little space and fits perfectly into my everyday makeup setup.



About:

The super soft bristles are the perfect way to blend your colors. These five essential brushes with sleek tube will help create the perfect eye look for any occasion.

Set Includes: Eye Shadow Brush, Tapered blending brush, blending brush, angled brow brush, smudge brush.

There are other variations available as well.


Packaged into this beautiful, sleek but small tube are 5 quality makeup brushes that are all you need to create any eye makeup look.

What I love about this set vs. others that I've seen, is that it has round/blending brushes for using in the crease of your eye. Having hooded eyes, this is a must for me.


The brushes are of great quality. They are nice and soft and blend my makeup well. They wash up nicely too and don't shed. 

I use every single brush in this set, so nothing is going to waste. It truly has everything you need- from liner brushes to crease and lid brushes.


As you can see from the pictures, the tube is nice and sleek and takes up very little space.


Whether you need something for travel or for your makeup bag, this set is a perfect choice. Or, maybe you are a minimalist or just want to downsize, it's also perfect to keep with your everyday makeup as it takes up such a small amount of space, yet it contains all the essential eye makeup brushes that you need. 

The only choice to make is which colour to get or maybe you want them all! πŸ˜€

Best Lip Repair Treatment | Doll 10 Perfect Pout Ultra Repair


As someone who has perpetually dry and dehydrated lips, I'm always trying new lip products designed to hydrate and repair my lips. Most of them fall short for me. 

I'm so happy to share that I have a new favourite lip treatment that actually delivers!


Description

Total therapy for your lips brought to you by The Lip Authority. We’ve looked at the source of where dry lips start and developed a system that will renew, repair and restore thirsty lips on a cellular level instead of just masking the problem. 3 g / 0.10 oz. Made in Canada.



Doll 10 Perfect Pout Ultra Repair Night Therapy transformed by dry and dehydrated lips after using it for only 2 consecutive nights! 

The product is quite thick and sticky, but that's a good thing. It not only hydrates my lips, but seals in the moisture. I find most lip balms have to be reapplied every other minute! Not with this product. I apply a thin coat to my lips before bed and wake up with my lips still hydrated. This makes my aging, dry, and dehydrated lips appear much more youthful, plump, hydrated, and my lip lines are so smoothed out. 

I love the way it makes my lips look and feel so much that I also wear it during the day. It lasts for such a long time that I don't have to keep reapplying it. 

Although the jar is small at 3 grams, you need very little product. And, because I don't have to keep reapplying it, I'm sure this little jar will last quite a while.

I haven't tested out Doll 10's lip exfoliator yet, but it's on my list to try next.



We are giving Doll 10's Perfect Pout a 10 out of 10! It's absolutely the most hydrating and long lasting, lip transforming, age-defying lip balm that I have used so far, and I've tried A LOT of lip balms and treatments! 

The list of ingredients is extensive so I will link to the product page if you want to check it out. This product is also vegan.

If you are like me and constantly searching for a lip treatment that really works and gives your lips that youthful, hydrated, and plump look, give this a try.

Doll 10 is a cruelty-free brand 🐰 

Doll 10 Perfect Pout retails for $24CAD and contains 3g of product.

If there's one type of product that I'm willing to spend more money on, it's skincare. Haircare too, but this post is all about skincare. 

I've tried A LOT of anti-aging lotions and potions. Most of the skincare products that I've tried don't do a whole lot when it comes to firming the skin. However, I have had good success in the past with Biotulin and Robin McGraw's Revelation, and both have been featured here on Healthandbeautygirl.com.

I also recommend checking out Zo Skin Health reviews. The brand takes a comprehensive approach to skincare, offering products that not only address sagging skin but also target other common skin issues such as hyperpigmentation, acne, and fine lines.

Recently, I came across Sympli Beautiful Firming Triple Peptide Serum one night while shopping on iHerb.com.  I had never heard of this serum or this brand before but it was on sale in iHerb's clearance section and the reviews sounded WAY too good to be true! From experience, I know that there is only so much that skincare can do when it comes to firming or lifting the skin, but reviewers said this serum did just that. Because of the clearance price at the time, I figured that I had nothing to lose, so I threw it in the cart.

Fast forward a few days and I received my iHerb order (pretty quickly from the USA as usual from iHerb), I used it that day and night. The next morning, I looked it the mirror and thought holy s*it! I wondered, is this what I'd look like with botox!? My skin was so smoothed out, and looked so much firmer, I couldn't believe it! I realized that I had pretty much stopped looking in the mirror as I wasn't liking what aging was doing to my skin. I'd much rather deal with wrinkles than sagging. And, of course, sagging is much more difficult to address.  Let me tell you, those reviews on this product were no exaggeration! This inconspicuous little bottle full of peptides did wonders for my skin! Now, I couldn't stop looking in the mirror! I saw my younger self. My skin was snatched and jowls less prominent,  everything was lifted! I've used many peptide serums (including The Ordinary Buffet Serum) and never had results like this! I should have believed the reviews on iHerb, even though they sounded to good to be true, because there is no incentive on iHerb to leave a positive review. I'm here to back up all those rave reviews from my experience. This little serum is hands-down THE best anti aging product that I've used for firming and smoothing the skin. I think that the more your skin is sagging, the more you will notice a difference. 

I used 2 pumps of the serum AM and PM which covered my face, neck, and decolletage, and the bottle lasted for about a month. I applied various moisturizers over top of the serum for extra hydration.  I didn't find the serum hydrating enough on its own, but it is the product that made all of the magic happen with my skin. I only wish it came in a jumbo size! I have so much other skincare to use up, and once I do, this will be my go-to serum. I do wish that it was priced lower, although I wouldn't consider it expensive, I just felt like I went through it rather quickly. Perhaps I can use one pump vs the two that I had been using.


If you are like me and have sagging, aging skin, and you just can't find anything that really snatches your skin so you look like that younger version of yourself, give this a try! Then come back and let me know how it went for you!

You can get money off with my referral code AGU725 or use this link to have the discount applied automatically.   

Let me know if you try it! If you are sagging and/or want a smoothed out look without the Botox, definitely give this hidden little gem a try. Just make sure to leave some stock there for me!

The Best Leave in Conditioner for Bleached and Damaged Hair | FoxyBae Leave in Hair Mask


Featured product:

Size: 8oz

SRP: $19.99

Where to buy:
Winner's, Marshall's - check local stores 
FoxyBae 

About:

Cruelty-free! 🐰 

The curse of bad hair days is finally over! Our Magic 12-in-1 Blend is formulated from the most nourishing, moisturizing, nutritious ingredients on the planet! Our 12 luxurious butters, oils, and proteins were crafted into this daily all-purpose, no rinse mask to be your magic potion against frizz, split ends and dull hair. 

Ingredients:

Aqua, Quaternium-91, Behentrimonium Chloride, Myristyl Myristate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Phenyl Trimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Amodimethicone, Trideceth-12, Cetrimonium Chloride, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glycol, Cetyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, Parfum, Propylene Glycol, Biotin, Hydrolyzed Adansonia Digitata Seed (Baobab) Extract, Hydrolyzed Orysa Sativa Protein, Eugenia Uniflora Fruit (Pitanga) Extract, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Argania Spinosa Kernel (Argan) Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Gardenia Tahitensis (Monoi) Flower, Tocopherol, Aleurites Moluccanus Seed (Kukui) Oil, Camellia Japonica Seed (Tsubaki) Oil, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed (Macadamia) Oil, Emblica Officinalis Fruit (Amla) Extract, Sesamum Indicum Seed Oil, Citric Acid, Hexyl cinnamal, Buthylphenyl Methylpropional, d-Limonene, Coumarin, Linalool, Benzyl Benzoate.


If you have bleached and damaged hair like me, you're probably always looking for the next best thing to help your hair look and feel better. I know I always am!

I saw this leave in hair mask by FoxyBae at Marshall's, and although I hadn't heard anything about it, I decided to give it a try as it was on clearance so I didn't have much to lose. I couldn't wait to try it out. I'm always eager full of hope when I get a new hair product full of promises of better looking and feeling hair. 

Since I started doing my own highlights, and maybe because I've accumulated more greys, my hair texture is so dry, brittle, and rough, on top of already being naturally fine and frizzy. The only way to make my hair look semi-decent these days is to apply a lot of heat with heat tools. But, since I'm trying to avoid more damage, I try and stay away from heat tools other than a basic blow dry. I have naturally curly and frizzy hair, and like it smooth, so going Au Natural is not gonna happen.

Since I'm always trying new hair products, looking for something that REALLY works for my damaged and difficult hair, I'm usually disappointed.  I came home with my new FoxyBae leave in hair mask, eager to try it, but ready for disappointment.  I shampood and conditioned as usual, then applied FoxyBae's leave in mask in place of my other leave in conditioners and treatments.  I used about 10 pumps, sprayed into the palm of my hand because it has a lotion consistency, this made for a more even application.  After blow drying my hair, I was wowed! Nothing has made my dry and rough hair feel soft like FoxyBae's Leave in Mask did, and it actually controls my frizz, and doesn't weigh my hair down at all. Plus, it didn't just work the first time (like some products can), it has kept my hair feeling soft and looking so much healthier and presentable than before each and every time that I've used it! 

I try not to buy backups of products anymore but I'm going to have to do just that! I'm afraid of running out of this fabulous hair-changing mask! And, hoping they don't ever discontinue it or change the formula! 

I don't know if it's making my hair any healthier, but it's making my hair look and feel SO much better! I still have other products that are supposed to "repair" damaged hair, but none of them have improved the look and feel of my hair like this product has.

If you have bleached, or dry, or damaged hair that feels rough in texture,  I highly recommend you give this and try.. then come back here and let me know how it worked for you! 

FoxyBae's Leave in Hair Masks lotion like consistency 


This is hands-down the best leave in hair product that I've ever tried! I'm so glad we found each other FoxyBae! πŸ’–

Ipsy Beauty Bag June 2021



Here's a look at the June Ipsy bag that I received πŸ’„(received in july).

If you aren't familiar with Ipsy, they are a monthly beauty subscription that includes 5 deluxe beauty samples each month plus a makeup bag. Once you join, you fill out a personal profile and ipsy will customize your samples to match your preferences and profile information. 

Retails for $12 USD per month. Shipping to Canada is $2.95 each month. 

Ipsy also has add on items that you can choose if you like. The value of the add on items is very good compared to what you pay. The add on items ship for free with your monthly subscription.  

Ipsy June 2021 beauty bag:

πŸ”…Farah conceal and set brush
πŸ”…IBY eyeshadow in cinnamon roll
πŸ”…Tarte lash paint Mascara 
πŸ”…Tony moly Watermelon dew all over serum
πŸ”…Coral sun SPF 15 coconut balm 
πŸ”…Makeup bag


Tony Moly, lip balm, Tarte Mascara 

IBY eyeshadow in cinnamon roll

Farah conceal and set brush

Makeup bag



What do you think of this bag? I think the value isn't bad if you are in the USA. I definitely don't think a clear lip balm helps the bag's value as I can purchase one at the dollar store. Although my profile says that I have green eyes,I received copper eyeshadow which is not a good colour for me. This bag was Unfortunately a miss for me. However, I do appreciate the trial and the add on items πŸ’• 

Ipsy is a good budget friendly beauty subscription that would make a great gift for the beauty enthusiast in your life or for yourself, of course. It's a good way to try out new skincare and makeup products without breaking the bank. It would also be a great choice for anyone who is just getting into beauty products.
