I Tried GLAUX CHEM®'s Face and Body Oil for My Acne. Here's What Happened.
I am 30 years old, and ever since I was 12, I have struggled with acne. My skin has always been a mess, even during times when most people's’ skin seemed to calm down. When I started to get into my 20s, I assumed that the acne would subside, but no, I wasn’t that lucky.

The 3 Things That Cured My Fungal Acne
Since my freshman year of high school, I have been dealing with some rough acne. I ate well, I drank TONS of water, but nothing seemed to cure the platter of whiteheads, blackheads, and bright red pimples that were on my face and body. But four years of self-esteem issues and anxiety over my skin have come to an end in the last three months.

The Double Edged Sword: Dry and Oily Skin
I know the struggle all too well. The bridge of my nose would be flaky at the same time pimples would be cropping up on my forehead from my forehead being too oily. Around I went in the vicious skincare cycle, adding astringents and drying agents to my face to get rid of the pimples and then adding oils to my face for the dry spots. It's a never-ending battle for people who have both skin types.

Handle Frizzy Curls Without Heat
Picture the scene: A young woman sits on a park bench, her long straight hair glistening in the sun like a river of gold. Clouds appear in the sky, and she starts to cry. Unfortunately, the poor girl was cursed by an evil witch to have frizzy hair. The rain's about to start, and she has a twenty-minute walk home. She'll be a walking frizz ball by then. Tragedy.

7 Makeup Products that Broke the Internet
The first thing I think of when I think viral makeup is the infamous Kylie Lip Kit. Kylie Jenner launched her beauty brand on November 30, 2015, with the $29 lip kits (pairs of matte liquid lipsticks matched with a lip liner in nude, pink and brown) selling out immediately at Kylie Cosmetics. The internet couldn't get enough, with the lip kits quickly becoming the must-have lip product of the year. Since then, Kylie has expanded her brand to a whole range of products and collections, launching collaborations with Khloe and Kris as well as birthday, Christmas, Valentine's, and holiday collections. Whilst these have also sold at record rates, it can't be denied that the lip kit was the viral trend that started it all.

Science-Backed Ways to Fight Oily Skin
Oily skin can be a pretty difficult issue to deal with. People who have this skin type are way more likely to have bad breakouts, have excessively shiny skin, and may even have difficulty keeping their makeup in place due to the oil their skin produces. During the summer, these problems often magnify.

BoxyCharm Review
Hello, my lovely people, I was thinking I could start doing a monthly review of my BoxyCharm. BoxyCharm is a monthly subscription for $21/month that comes as a box of four to five full size cosmetic products. The products range from brands such as Tarte, Becca, Dr. Brandt, etc. (mostly high end). The box is literally a steal. It gets no better than BoxyCharm in my opinion. I first started out with the Ipsy bag subscription, but I'd much rather get full size items. Since makeup is such a hobby of mine and I don’t have $100s to spend on makeup every month, $21 is doable for me. Especially when each box is valued at over $120 almost every time. I’ve received the box twice so far, and both times they were over $130. I couldn't be happier with this subscription. I would highly recommend any of you reading to check it out! :)

Best Skin Cleansers for Acne Prone Skin
Around 95 percent of the human population will suffer from acne at one point or another. Many people just deal with it when they reach puberty, but not all of us. Some of us, such as myself, will continue to deal with it throughout high school, college, and adulthood.

I Tried HUM’s Daily Cleanse Supplement & Here’s What Happened. Created with: HUM.
If there’s one thing I can honestly say, it’s that I do not exactly have a good diet. Ask anyone who knows me; it’s true. It’s one of those things that I’ve really been ashamed of and have slowly (very slowly) been working to correct.

I Used Organic Body Oil on My Hair and This Is What Happened
There are a lot of things I have managed to tame over the years. I’ve managed to tame my wild style into something that looks visually appealing. I’ve been able to get my driving style to be a bit tamer than it used to be when I first started driving. I’ve even been able to tame my spending habits—for the most part.

Masquerade by Juvia’s Place
Disclaimer: This might be a bit long! I take no responsibility for your hurt sentiments, except to say it was unintentional. I paid with my hard earned money, hence the opinion. I ordered this in September, 2017. Wow, almost a year. So I have an in-depth experience with this one. I am a tan medium skin shade with a pale undertone and oily skin.
