Homemade Beauty: Pumpkin Spice Face Mask

It is that time of year again where the basic white girls are going crazy over Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte...

I'm not a coffee person.

Or an overpriced Starbucks person.

Or usually a pumpkin person!

So why did I feel the need to post this?
Because I have finally gotten into the fall mood, and I am going to be having one of these professionally done at a Spa this Friday!
Plus, why not??

So let's start by prepping your face for the facial by using a super simple...

Brown Sugar Face Scrub
Ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Olive Oil
Mix together and apply to the face rubbing in circular motions.  The brown sugar will act as an exfoliant, clearing and opening your pores, while the olive oil works as a natural moisturizer.

Pumpkin Spice Face Mask
Ingredients
  • 1 Teaspoon pure Pumpkin puree (with no added ingredients)
  • 1 Teaspoon of Honey
  • 1/2 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
Apply to face and relax for 5 to 15 minutes.  Pumpkin contains vitamins A, C, and E which will help to gently relieve your skin of dead skin cells.  The honey seals in moisture while also fighting off acne with it's antibacterial properties, while the cinnamon clarifies the pores.  Other optional ingredients include: A splash of Apple Cider Vinegar which will work as an astringent for oily skin, or Greek Yogurt for the hydrating properties of the lactic acid.

Nadine West: Fourth Shipment

So this wasn't the most successful shipment ever, but I still got one nice piece out of it!  And they left me a sweet surprise which I'll tell you about at the end, so I wasn't upset at all! This is actually two items from my shipment!  This outfit contains both the shirt and leggings from this month, and they kind of go together!   Though I really liked the pattern of the leggings, they are much more like tights.  They were totally see through, which made me pretty sad.  If they were marketed as tights then I wouldn't be too disappointed, but these were called Leggings.  They retailed for $14.49, and I didn't keep them. The shirt fit very well and was extremely comfy.  I have been looking for a shirt this color, so I was pretty excited to see it in my bag, even though it is pretty basic.  This shirt also retailed for $14.49, and I did elect to keep it! These are the "Beauty Within" earrings, and I'm actually pretty sure I rece...

Homemade Beauty... Shaving Cream

How about a quick tip for today? Use baby oil, conditioner, or coconut oil instead of shaving cream. Basically, all that shaving cream is is foaming soap... It doesn't really have that many benefits for your skin and is just another thing that we have to buy. The whole point of shaving cream is to slick up your skin so you don't get cut by your razor. The three things above do the same thing, but they also moisturize your skin at the same time! I use Baby Oil when we travel because, lets face it, even the travel size shaving creams are huge! And a travel size baby oil is actually pretty small, and you don't need much when you use it. Win Win :)
