Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser Review (Brandbacker)

First, I want to thank OZ Naturals for giving me the opportunity to try out their facial cleanser.

About the Product:

OZ Naturals is a cruelty-free and is safe for all skin types. This product is made in the USA in a state of the art FDA registered facility. OZ Naturals Natural & Organic facial cleanser is considered to be the highest quality skin cleanser on the market.

Powerful Ingredients include rosehip oil, rich ocean minerals & vitamin e. This formulation was developed to specifically be gentle on sensitive skin yet highly potent and effective at dissolving nasty particles that clog your pores.

This face wash is guaranteed to gently cleanse your skin and clear clogged pores naturally and effectively.

Learn About the Brand:

OZ Naturals is a top seller on amazon.com and its easy to understand why.

Co-Founder and Certified Esthetician, Angela Irish launched OZ Naturals as a company that embodies everything she's passionate about -- healthy skin, anti-aging, natural ingredients, and utilizing the latest technology to formulate the highest quality skin care products on the market.

Utilizing her personal experience of skin issues, that she understands that when your skin is unhealthy it can negatively affect your self-esteem. After try tons of products over the years she was always left with the same skin issues as before. Sometimes even worse than before. Angela knows how disheartening this can be, especially when so many skin care products make huge claims, and simply do not deliver. It's especially frustrating when the cost of those products are hardly affordable, and you realize once again that you've wasted your money.

While it's true that beautiful skin is also hereditary, healthy skin comes from taking care of the inside and outside of our bodies. However, finding the right products for your skin can be the toughest part of the equation. This is why OZ Naturals was founded, to create healthy, premium skin care products to help those who weren't naturally born with perfect skin, to obtain more perfect skin. The kind of skin that everyone deserves to have.

How I feel about the facial cleanser:

I love how gentle the facial cleanser is. It's not too harsh for my skin. I feel like this is about the same as my Cetaphil facial cleanser, gentle. I have been using this product for about a week now and I am loving it so far. My skin hasn't reacted bad to it at all. I use this facial cleanser during daytime and nighttime. I don't have anything bad to say about this product, it's been working good so far for me. Feel free to comment down below if you had any bad experience about this product.

Makeup of the Day/Products used

Hello friends and welcome back to my blog. Today, I created a look for you and if you would like to know what products I used for this look, please keep reading.

This first picture are the products I used for my face.

I started off with Tarte clean slate poreless on my t-zone. For foundation, I used Nars Sheer Glow in Cadiz with a Real Technique sponge. For concealer, I used Motives Cosmetics Sculpt Series in Ice and used the shade Halo. Then, I set my highlighted section with Ben Nye Colorless Face Powder and baked for couple minutes while I set the rest of my face. To set the rest of my face, I used Mac Studio Fix in NW35 and for contour, I used Loreal True Match Powder in N8 Cappuccino. After setting everything, I dusted off the powder I had on where I baked. For blush, I used Be A Bombshell Cosmetics in Beach Please. And last but not least, I set everything off with a finishing spray using the Loreal setting spray, which I forgot to add on the picture.

Now, moving on to the brows and eyes. For brows, I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade in Chocolate and Soft Brown and set it with a brow gel using BH Cosmetics Flawless Brow Gel to lighten up my brows. I always like to curl my lashes before doing anything else on my eyes. So, to curl my lashes, I used Ardell Heated Eyelash Curler. To prime my eyes, I used Smashbox 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer and set that with loose powder so that my eyeshadows will blend easily. For this look, I used It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Celebration. I used the shade Miracle above my crease, then applied Toasty on top of that and on my crease I used the shade Spice. For my outer corner, I used the shade Hot Cocoa and for my inner section I used the shade Champagne and topped it with Transforming Ombre Radiance Ribbon. After all that, I lined my eyes with NYC Liquid Eyeliner in Black. I used NYC City Proof 24 Hr eyeliner on my water liner, top and bottom. For my lashes, I used House of Lashes in Heartbreaker and that completes the whole look I created today.

In case you are wondering what brushes I used for this whole look, I took a picture of it and here it is.

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and hope this helps.

Thank you

Mini Beauty Haul

Hello and welcome back to my blog. Today, I want to show you my recent purchase. This are the products I've been dying to try. I have always love Too Faced products. I heard so many good things about their "The Little Black Book of Bronzers", it's basically all kinds of different shades and types of bronzers they have, but in a palette. How amazing is that? When they had the 50% off sale on their website, I took advantage and ordered it before they sell out. Original price was $49 and it was on sale for about $24. I was so excited when I received it in the mail.

The It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Celebration was purchased at the Ipsy website from their ipsy offers. I love shopping at this website because they always have great deals. I got this palette for only $20 plus free shipping. You can't go wrong with that. I purchased other products from them as well. I also purchased the Tarte Cosmetics set from them for also $20 plus free shipping. I am so excited to try all this products.

The Real Techniques sponge was purchased through Ebay. Many beauty gurus swore by this sponge and so I just have to get one for myself. I have always used Beauty Blender so I can't wait to see how this one works. I only paid about $7 for it compare to the Beauty Blender which cost about $18-$20.

And last one I ordered online was House of Lashes. They had sales going on online and was interested on trying out this lashes. I already own few of their lashes and I loved it so I decided to order more of their products, but different styles. I believe they just came out with this Lash Ruler which is suppose to help you measure the false lashes so you can fit it correctly on your lash line. They also came out with a black eyelash glue to match the color of the band of their lashes. I own the white/clear lash glue and I am in love with it and so seeing this on their website was perfect timing for me to get as well.
