Squid Balm!

Hi everyone!

Today I am doing a review on Squid Balm Soap, Lotion, and Face Cleanser and shave/conditioner bar.

(Sorry the Squid Balm lotion and shave bar is not in the picture, it has super cute packaging though =D)

Handcrafted Soap: This soap is my absolute favorite! they have sooo many yummy scents and I love the way it looks it's so cool looking and different. 
I LOVE the fact that it is nut free, paraben free, sulfate free, free of synthetic coloring, ultra marine, micas AND it's organic! It really leaves no residue behind and leaves your skin feeling soo soft and luxurious! They last a while and are a great price. They are also having their Spring sale right now buy 3 get 1 free! This is a must try product and perfect gift for anyone at any age.

Gentle Oil Cleanser: This cleanser is for normal skin they are have two others for dry or oily skin. It is an oil cleanser and fantastic for removing your makeup! I use it morning and night but with dry hands I put half a pump and in circular motions go around my face. It smells … very clean, it doesn't have a strong smell at all. The fact that it doesn't leave an oily residue like some oil cleansers i'v tried is amazing. It leave my face soft hydrated. It is a great product for travel to because it does a lot in one.

Squid Balm Lotion: This lotion is so cute with the little squid on it and smells sooo good! I bought the apples and honey scent and it smells exactly like apples and honey! It helps the driest skin ever and is amazing for: Your cuticles, lips, elbows, feet, hands, dry patches,irritation, and everything and anything! It's travel friendly and lasts forever! My hands and feet stay soft all day long! I kind of compare it to the Elizabeth 8 hour cream but in a solid form it just does so much.

Shave Bar/ Conditioner: This product was made to be a hair conditioner or you can use it to shave. it does leave my hair soft once I can get it to lather but it's not my favorite conditioner, it is my favorite shave buddy though haha. When using it, wet the bar and give it a really good lather until you feel a kind of oil and smooth that over your legs(for woman) and or face(for men). I still have it in my shower it lasts forever it seems because it doesn't even look smaller and I use it every time I shave. If you cut your self shaving a lot i recommend you use this product for sure.

Over all this company is really great and has such cute packaging and their products are very affordable and work wonderfully and smell so so so good!!!

You can purchase the lotions at the Planet Beauty store in Calabasas or online at: http://www.squidbalm.com/

Kora Organics

Hi everyone! I am going to review Kora Organics. I bought the creamy cleanser (not shown), rose hip face oil (also not shown), the exfoliating cream, and the energizing citrus mist. I am sorry I threw out the cleanser and face oil once I finished due to the fact I bought these last year and have been wanting to do a review.

The creamy cleanser: Is my favorite cleanser of all time! i used it in the mornings because it didn't remove makeup very well. But after I used it in the morning my skin was glowing, soft, smooth, and made my pores invisible! I have dry/combo skin; this was so hydrating, it did not leave a film behind, and left my t-zone oil free.

The exfoliating cream:  I use this at night after I cleanse my skin. The first time I used this I thought it was just okay. After a week of using it, it cleared up any break-outs I had and keep my skin super smooth. I started using it on my body to and it's just all around amazing leave my skin all over smooth and soft. It's also great before you shave your legs and for men (their face) because it lifts the hair and cleans out the pore preventing ingrown hairs when you shave.

The Rose Hip Face Oil: OH MY GOSH! This is my favorite out of all of these products. I used it 3 times a week after cleansing/ exfoliating my skin. It was weird rubbing oil over my face for the first time but it absorbed in my skin so quick and when I woke up in the morning a part of me didnt want to wash my face because it was so glowy and flawless. This is the topping on the cake all her products together make your skin so so so AMAZING!!!

The Energizing Citrus Mist: I use this for setting my makeup or just throughout the day when I need some extra hydration. It really does last a long time and feels nice on the skin. It's funny because it doesn't smell like any citrus to me, it smells like you made pancake and syrup haha I was told I smelt like breakfast so I guess that does wake you up. It's not my favorite smell but I like the formula so I will try again and purchase the rose or lavender mist next time.

All around Kora Organics is really the best skin care I have ever tried(and i'v tried many).  Going on a tangent, I had horrible acne and went on Acutane and it cleared my acne right up. I used this while on Acutane and after and it just helped my skin and kept the acne away.

One of Mandy's winter secrets!

Drum roll please for my WINTER BEAUTY SECRET!!!

Ok so you know that in winter our skin gets more dry, well have you ever noticed that it gets flaky? well use Dandruff Shampoo! 1-2 times a month.
Isn't that great! because my chin area always gets flaky during winter which makes my foundation flake off(ew).
 i use Selson Blue Natural Dandruff Shampoo and it really helped!

Love always,
