Skincare Sunday - Neal's Yard Remedies "Frankincense Intense Lift Serum" Review

Happy Skincare Sunday! This week I'm reviewing a brand new serum from a brand that is quite new to me - Neal's Yard Remedies. 

This serum, the Frankincense Intense Lift Serum, is being released sometime this month - May 2017! 

Neal's Yard Remedies started in 1981 with the vision to bring the expertise of apothecaries and a holistic approach to health and beauty to the world. Apothecaries have a deep knowledge of herb-based remedies and one of their distinctive features was the blue bottles of herbs and potions. Neal's Yard Remedies was created because they "thought the time-tested knowledge of apothecaries was being lost and the world could do with a strong dose of what they used to offer."

April 2017 - Month in Masks & Mask Empties

Masking is a huge part (and probably my favorite part) of my skincare routine! I try to use all types of masks as often as possible as I find they really help moisturize and improve my skin! 

This post is a review of all the masks I use each month and mini reviews on all of them - I also consider the Month of Masks my Mask Empties post, because I do not feature my sheet masks in my monthly empties post! You can check out my past Month of Masks here! 

Here is a look at the masks I used in April:

April 2 

Dragon's Blood Fix Plumping Mask ~ $14.95. An intensely hydrating gel mask combining multiple skin perfecting complexes to plump the look of wrinkles and refine the skin's appearance for a brighter, more youthful looking complexion.

This mask can be used as a rinse off mask or as a night mask as well - I love when I can use my masks as dual purposes! This has a nice cooling effect on the skin and was a really nice light gel. It didn't dry or harden on the skin making it easy to rinse off! It was a little sticky, but made my skin feel good! You can view a past Skincare Sunday review here if you are interested! 

Repurchase: I will keep trying it out before I decide! 

Five on Friday - May 5, 2017

Happy Friday everyone! hope you have had a great week! Mine has been pretty simple - lots of visitors in and out to meet the baby and trying to find a good awake and sleep routine, but it's slowly coming!  

ONE

This is pretty much what my new day to day life looks like - I snuggle with Elliott and when he sleeps I try and get some blogging or other tasks done! I will put him down soon, but I actually love when he snuggles like this! 

April 2017 - Monthly Empties!

Time to go through my beauty garbage from April:

Covergirl The Super Sizer Fibers Mascara ~ $6.97. The Super Sizer Fibers for 400% volume + length. New fiber-length formula for a false lash extension effect. Lash Styler finds and transforms even small lashes.

This mascara wasn't my favorite - the formula was waaay too wet for my liking! It made my lashes clump and stick together. It added a lot of length to my lashes, but not enough volume for my liking. You can see my full review here if you are interested!
Repurchase: No

Mask Wednesday - ToGoSpa Green Tea Eyes Review
