5 stars out of 5

I’m currently obsessed with Too Cool for School Coconut Sugar Facial Scrub ($25) and probably will be even deeper in love with it comes the Winter. I’ve been using this as my weekly exfoliating treatment (ok, so maybe I’ve been using it more than once a week but oh my god it’s so good) and it’s been such a treat for my dry skin!

I was a little concerned about purchasing it because coconut doesn’t seem to agree with my skin. I’m not allergic to it but sometimes when I use coconut skincare I seem to have some sort of weird, itch flare ups on my face. I tend to avoid it. This was thankfully a ok though! It does contain coconut oil but I had no issues at all!

I liked it because it really brought some of my greatest skincare memories from the past. It actually heats up when you use it so, I had that high school Biore Self Heating moment memory pop up! Remember that mask? The little pods they would come? And how they’d heat up making you feel like your did something amazing for your skin! I used them a ton in high school! They are still very much around but probably a death trap for skin ha..! I never researched the ingredients. I need to do that one day!

Revolution Pro Blur Stick Review

4 stars out of 5

Revolution Pro Blur Stick Universal Face Primer ($15) is a new facial primer stick with a link wink and a nod to Milk Makeup’s way more expensive Blur Stick. Whether you find Makeup Revolution’s little dupes a form of flattery or outright copying is up to you but I have to admit it’s nice having a cheaper option as Milk’s Blur Stick is $36 bucks and 1 oz in size compared to Revolution Pro Blur Stick is 1.06 oz and less than half the price at $15.

I purchased this on a whim as I really didn’t need it as I have a slew of primer sticks already like Maybelline Facestudio Master Blur Stick Primer, E.L.F. Prep & Blur Stick, and Milani Instant Touch-Up Blur Stick. Some are cool, some are ok, some are just awful but the idea of a primer stick is not a new or unique one by any means and I really didn’t need another but there was a great sale when I purchased the stick. It was a BOGO and I actually ended up paying for two eyeshadow palettes and getting the primer stick for free so, hey, cool deal right?

Alamar Cosmetics DesNUDEas Lipgloss ($15) might be familiar to you if you’re a BoxyCharm subscriber as apparently there may be a shade appearing (or maybe it already has) in your next box! I purchased all four of these shades the day they launched which I believe was early July. I saw a few people on a makeup forum talking about them and was drawn in by my the temptation of grabbing some great nude lipgloss shades.

I’ve never been a nude lip fan simply because I always look like a zombie in nudes. I finally figured out that there are so many different versions and meanings of nude in the makeup world that it just takes some time and patience to find the right nude suitable for me. Since discovering I can wear nudes I’ve been on the hunt to collect all the perfect nude shades.

That hunt seems to have led me to indie brand, Alamar Cosmetics, DesNUDEas Lipgloss.
