Review: One Love Organic's Skin Savior

Hey lovelies!

I know I've been slacking on the posts, but you can read my last post to find out why.
To make this post as short as possible I'm going skip the tangents and get right into the review.


I received this amazing jar of product in my Birchbox a couple of months ago and was just using it as a nightly moisturizer every now and then. This moisturizer is sort of grainy, but it smoothes quickly into skin and you only need a very small amount. I love using it at night because it can be used as an eye cream and facial moisturizer. I love the light lemon meringue scent because it only lasts for a couple of seconds.

I found the creator and followed One Love Organics on Twitter. Then I decided I would tell them how much  I love the "Skin Savior". The company replied and said that this product isn't only amazing at moisturizing skin, but can be used as a leave in hair conditioner, lip balm, cleanser, and cuticle cream. I was flabberghasted by her reply because I could put it in my hair?! I was a little afraid to at first because I thought my hair would get too oily. When I finally did, it was like love all over again because it made my hair silky, smooth, but not too oily. It is great at detangling as well. Just use a litle amount at the end of your hair and work up so that it won't get too oily.

I'm so sad that I'm almost finished with the jar, but it did last me at least 3 months. Should I splurge($68 for 3.5 oz.) and get more?

New Semester Begins This Week!

Hey Lovelies!
This week I began the spring semester, so I probably won't be able to post more than once a week. :( I currently have an internship and 13 units this semester. An internship is like a part-time job except that you won't get paid(some do pay, but they are part and full time jobs labeled as internships). I'm interning for a company which wants me to redesign and update a website for an italian chef/model. The classes I'm taking this semester are calculus, Data mapping, and a couple of computer networking classes, which will go towards transferring to a 4 year university and a web design certificate.

My future posts will be about some of the trends for spring and summer, more product reviews, hauls, and monthly favorites.

I will be having a giveaway on my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/SweetCutie24?feature=mhee) soon. You need to be a subscriber to my youtube channel to enter. Watch for a new video titled giveaway.

Review: Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream

 

Hey lovelies!

Sorry there was a bit of a delay, but I got a new camcorder for Christmas and I was trying to edit a video that I made. Before I go into the review, I have to say that I received this product for free from BzzAgent; however, these are my honest opinions. I would hate to find out that a product is hyped after I purchased it.

 

This product is Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula Hand Cream(Fragrance Free). This hand cream can be used on dryness everywhere, especially lips, elbows, knees and hands.  The claim is that "just a dab heals dry skin" and "it provides highly effective relief for even the most uncomfortable dry, cracked hands"..

 

Before I used this cream, my hands were peeling, nails were also peeling and brittle, and I had a couple of hang nails. Within a single use, I noticed that my hands stopped peeling and looked refreshed. I used it the next day without any additional signs of improvement. On the third day, I did notice that my hands were alot softer, smoother, no sign of peeling and even my nails were longer(my nails usually peeled before they grew longer than my finger tips). As I continued applying the moisturizer once a day for 2 weeks, I saw fewer hangnails, no peeling, baby smooth and soft skin.

 

The hand cream even worked on my split lip because after I applied it evey night, my lips felt smoother and moisturized. I did not like using it on my lips in the day time because the cream felt too heavy and thick.

 

After seeing all of these amazing results I think that this product definitely lives up to its claims. For $2 a tube, it is definitely going to be my goto moisturizer.

 

Have you tried this? What is your favorite moisturizer?

 

 

 

  

Review: Real Techniques Stippling Brush

Hey lovelies!
I've been hearing alot recently about how using a makeup brush is a better way to apply foundation than your fingers or sponges. I decided to jump off the cliff and try the Eyes Lips Face(elf) stippling brush because I wanted to test the new method. I didn't look back. Then I became bored and bummed because it began sheddng and made my foundation streaky.I researched about some better brushes. I realized the Mac and Sigma brushes were a no go because they are too pricey. I was watching a youtube video(not sure who it was) and the person seemed to really love the Real Technique Stippling Brush, so I figured why not? At $8.00 at Ulta, the RT brush was a good deal lucille. I received it in the mail about 4 days later and had to test it out right away. I used the brush to apply my CoverGirl Natureluxe Foundation and.. WOW...I was fascinated about how well the brush blended my foundatin-no streaks, spots, shedding, nada! It gives flawess application, but it's also soft and dense.  Another thing about the brush is that the handle is long for more comfortable use. The next characteristic is a matter of opinion because the brush stands on its own. Now, if you have all of RT's brushes then that's awesome because they can all stand up on the vanity. On the other hand, if you have a container to store your brushes in, the larger base may not neatly sit in the holder.

NOTD: Style Icon by Color Club

I haven't been keeping up with painting my nails lately, but today I decided I would paint my nails on one of my study breaks. I decided to go with an ox blood color, simply because it reminds me of cranberry sauce. The color Style Icon is a beautiful polish created by a company called Color Club. In the last couple of months or so, I've received Birchboxes(monthly subscription to get deluxe samples to try new things) with a couple of Color Club's mini nail polishes. I loved the formula and the colors so much that I decided to splurge and buy this one on Hautelook.com. Its a buildable formula, so even one coat gives an opaque, but light, color which darkens with additional coats. I love the fact that you can have a range of colors with just one nail polish. The polish lasts at least 3 days without chipping with a base and top coat. I will be definitely buying more of these nail polishes in the future, but right now I have plenty to last awhile.

What nail polish are you currently wearing?

About Me and BonBons Beauty

Hey, my name is Bonnie and I would like to say "thank you!" for stopping by my blog as I know that there is a wide selection to choose from. In this post I'll first tell a little about myself and then talk about why I decided to start this blog.

I'm a college student whom is hoping for a chance to start my own web design company someday. I love to read, draw, arts and crafts, swimming, and making Youtube videos. Ok, so you're probably wondering what makes me different from everyother beauty blogger? I'm sensitive, probably a little too over emotional, I am a lefty, and use both the creative and logical parts of my brain equally. I was born with a physical disability, but that being said, I don't want you to feel bad for me. I know that I was brought to Earth to use it to inspire others. I feel as if many girls and women dwell on their physical attributes; instead of seeing beyond them into the mind, heart, and soul. Yes, I do feel self-concious at times, especially when the huge scar on my forehead sticks out like a sore thumb. I have decided to set that aside and use other attributes to detract, not conceal, the scar.

That brings me to why I have decided to blog/vlog. I just want all women to look past their physical imperfections: acne, tiny eyes, or thin hair. Everyone has those or some sort of quality they's like to change, but the question I ask is why would you want to look like a barbie when there will be an infinite number of dolls just like you? Focus on what makes you unique on the inside.

In my blog, you'll read mostly what other beauty bloggers talk about: new trends, products, specials, etc.. but I will also be talking about health, technology, college, and books I'm reading.

I am always willing to answer questions, review products that you want to buy but don't know whether its worth buying, or just talk.

Have a fantabulous week, and discover what makes you unique!
