Ive been indulging myself with face-masks particularly collegen masks. Its always a good time to invest in your self, especially your skin. Read the magazines telling me time and time again to start now, I didn't listen until now!When the fine lines appears and the "Black Dont Crack"  appears to be a myth. This black girl has lines and wants to reverse youthful 20's with the good skin, line free. Amen! However, I cant go back, so now its time to act. But how? face-masks, and hell a lot of them. So check this ones Im loving and the ones Im hatin.


Loving, Quality 1st,  Dear Derm, and Daiso Japan collagen masks.
They work with effort and skin care regimen.






Hatin, Tony Moly, Dear Derm, Dr. Jart + sheet masks, because simply they don't brighten as promises, and doesn't decrease an millimeter of my laugh lines.

Item: Cetaphil vs Garnier Cleansers

Comments: I attended makeup school last year, and our instructor recommended some products to use on our clients faces, the instructor recommended Cetaphil Cleanser, which I tried out and hated it, why? it only removed 15% of my makeup, second it felt like rubbing lotion on my face. I also tried this product with a clean face, to see if this cleanser was a moisturizer cleanser, which its not, the touch of my face felt the same. Where Garnier Cleanser removes most of my makeup and mascara too! Theres no need for that extra cleanser for mascara. Im so sold on the Garnier, hopefully this new product stays on the market.

Item: Tea Tree Oil Daily Facial Toner
Comments: OK, so I never go into "The Body Shop" but decided to give it a try. It is, au natural, plus its great for my sensitive skin. I tested some stuff on my hand and the employees were nice. I told myself Ill buy something, a women next to me pick up this item above, along with several other items. Inside I was saying "don't buy", but I did anyway. I used it that night, the tea oil smells nice and not harsh, but after two months I noticed my face is evenly oily as usual. Therefore, I am greatly disappointed with this product and never to return to The Body Shop again.

Item: Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush
Comments: This blush differs from all the blushes Ive used before, Dream Mousse is much softer and applies smoother than regular blushes, but you have to apply with finger tips.So, I like it and will used again. But I didn't like the added glitter.
