Garnier | The Brusher Skin Renew Gel-Cleanser (Review)

Image
 Product Summary: Garnier Skin Renew brusher gel-cleanser smoothes skin and deep cleans your pores for a healthier look. The gel-cleanser is oil-free, and it's unique formation with a soft exfoliating brush and a deep cleansing gel with soothing green leaf extract is gentle enough to use everyday. Costs around 15$.  ***Not Cruelty-Free 👎👎*** One would think that having a silicon brush attached would be useful and actually deep cleans the skin but the silicon bristles are too far apart and too large to actually clean my pores. I personally don't like using the silicon brushes to cleanse my skin because it mostly irritates my skin and these type of brushes can be a breeding ground for bacteria if you do not clean the brush well and store it properly.  The first few times I used this cleanser, I used the brush and it irritated my skin and it caused me to have pimples.

Pacifica Beauty | Power Of Love Natural Lipstick In Nudie Red (Review)

Click  here to check them out. ***Cruelty Free 👍*** Despite this lipstick being natural, it smells very artificial and almost like plastic. A bit of the shea butter scent comes through but for the most part it doesn't smell good. It's so rough to apply on the lips. Every time I apply it, the lipstick will tug on my lips. It also feels heavy on the lips. Whenever I eat or drink something, I get the horrible taste of plastic in my mouth which tastes quite disgusting and awful. I have to wipe my mouth completely of this lipstick and once I'm done eating I r...

But as she begins to fall in love with Ray, suddenly there is more at stake than her own life... When it comes to vampire novels, most of the time said vampire is a powerful and strong male who protects the damsel in distress. With this one, however, we have Alissa Aka Sita who is a five thousand year old vampire that is powerful, intelligent and kicks ass. And she has to protect her male counterparts. Now, that is a story I can absolutely appreciate. Funny enough, this was written by a male author.  I ...
