Crave Slant Tip Tweezers Review

Crave sent me their new Precisio professional tweezers and I was a little apprehensive, because I despise pucking my eyebrows. However, due to recent budget cuts in my family, I have had to stop paying for eyebrow waxing on a regular basis so I am left with two choices: be a hairy, crazy mess or tweezer my eyebrows on my own!

So I started out my tweezing sessions with Crave slant tip tweezers and these eyebrows (yikes!!):

Let me just say that I have never been good at doing my own eyebrows. They always end up uneven, messed up and red and painful feeling. But, finally, my results were different!

I was able to pluck several hairs at once or just one single hair when I wished. The design made it very easy to trace my eyebrows to see which hairs should stay and which should go. The plucking was pretty painless and easy. With many cheap tweezers I have, on man occasions, accidentally pinched my skin while trying to get a single hair or a very fine hair. This was not an issue with these tweezers. I don't think I will ever be able to go back to standard cheap tweezers again thanks to Crave!

Some tips from Crave

You should store your tweezers in the plastic protective vial that it shipped in to protect it from damage that could warp or misalign the sides. 

Avoid dropping the tweezers as that could also misalign the blades. 

Contact the company with any issues, they have amazing customer service and they want you to be able to use their products the maximine capabilities. 

Raw Organic Unfiltered Shea Butter Review & Giveaway

I made a DIY face cream with my Shea Butter I was sent from Beauty by Shea/Hydracentials. There are so many more things I want to try to make with this so I plan to update as I try out the other things I want to make from scratch with my raw, unfiltered shea butter.

So here's my face cream recipe:
ONE tablespoon coconut oil
THREE tablespoons shea butter
2-3 drops of tea tree oil

Just mix the three ingredients together and blend with the back of a spoon to make a frosting like consistency and apply to your face!

So what did I think? Well it was a little hard to mix together for me, but mostly because I had kids running around and screaming while I tried to do it. But the three things did blend well. It went on my face really well and I did not have to use very much.

It did make my skin super oily at first and I was scared I would break out of just have greasy looking skin. But I went to sleep with it on, as instructed, and my skin felt AH-MAZ-ING in the morning. Seriously! I don't think you need to do this every night, though it wouldn't hurt your skin I'm sure, but my skin still feels very soft and smooth about a week later (and I have used no other moisturizers on my face since).

Look for more homemade beauty product recipes soon!

Oleavine beauty professional Konjac Sponge infused with Activated Charcoal Review

I was so excited to try this Konjac Sponge infused with activated charcoal because I have heard lots of really wonderful things about them from many different sources.

The directions say that you can use this sponge without any chemicals or with facial cleanser of my choice. I decided to try it both ways.

First time I used it in the shower without any cleansers. I just simply wet the sponge thoroughly and rubbed it all over my face. Wow! The sponge got so soft really fast and felt very smooth on my skin. The best part? My skin felt like I had just used a scrub or microdermabrasion on it, but I used absolutely nothing! I have pretty dry and sort of flaky-ish skin on my nose most of the time. The above mentioned cleansers work to remove it pretty well for a few days, but this Konjac Sponge was the first non-chemical thing I have found to take care of that problem area as well. The sponge dried really quickly so I don't have to worry about it being slimy or moldy or anything.

I also tried this with my favorite acne facial cleanser as well. I was worried that the gel would ruin the sponge or that the sponge would absorb the gel to prevent me from getting the acne fighting powers of the gel. That was definitely not something I should worry about! My face got the smooth, clean result I am used to with my acne gel but also super soft and even MORE SMOOTH from using the Konjac Sponge.

I simply cannot imagine not having this sponge in my bathroom. It is a new beauty must-have for me.
