Great Make-Up Starts with Great Skin-Care: Freeman Facial Peel Off Mask in Cucumber Review.

So I've incorporated a few new beauty items into my skincare routine. I've heard so much about this mask that I couldn't wait to pick it up from my local Walgreens to try it. I got it for about $4.00 and decided to try it for a week to give my honest review about the product. The mask claims to offer a super-cooling quench and peels away impurities the causes the skin to be rough and dull. The mask contains cucumber extract and aloe to soother and moisturize. I've used it four times since I purchased it and I have noticed that my face is smoother and softer and my break-outs have decreased but I'm not completely blown away by the mask. I find it very difficult to apply because it almost feels like glue. I also find that it dries my face completely out so you must follow-up with a moisturizer. When applying it be carefully not to get it in your hair because that can be a pain and also you have to wait at least ten minutes for it to completely dry for you to peel it off. I still like to follow the mask with a final wash of my face to ensure I remove all the product.

Overall, I do like the mask but I'm not completely blown away by it. I do plan to try the Charcoal mask and the blue one (can't thing of the name). I like that it's inexpensive and can be found at your local drugstore (Walgreens, CVS).

Shea Moisture Sheer Foundation Review

So I saw this foundation on instagram and decided to pick it up at my local Target. The Shea Moisture line is a cosmetic line that caters to African American skin tone. There were a variety of shades and products available and the prices are affordable. This foundation was $14.99 and I was in the search of another drugstore foundation. I choose the color Yasuni Honey which was the best match to my skin color (I'm a NW45 or 7.0 Mac MatchMasters) I've worn this foundation several times so I could give my honest review about it and honestly. It doesn't work for me. Lets go through the pro's and con's.

Pro's:

1. Affordable
2. Provides light to medium coverage but can build up to a semi full coverage with concealer
3. Provides a dewy look (if thats they look you like)
4. Can be conveniently found at Target

Con's

1. Product separates (although I shook it very well it still came out runny and watery)
2. Shifts across my face ( you have to set this with a powder)


My final conclusion that this is not a foundation that is suitable for me and the type skin I have. I like full coverage foundations that provides a matte finish. The dewy look isn't for me.
