Mario Badescu Skin Care

Hello Beautiful People!

I want to start off by saying that I am a Certified Product Junkie. I love buying and trying new products for my hair and my face, including oils, cleansers, moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners, etc! I'm an addict!

For my first review on this blog, I want to tell you guys about Mario Badescu Skincare Enzyme Cleansing Gel.

Purchased From: Ulta
Cost: $12

 
Most days (5 days a week), I wear a full face of make up including foundation, concealer, bronzer, some sort of highlight, eye shadow, eye liner, and mascara. Wow that was a mouthful! I work in a jail which is not the cleanest place to be for 8 hours a day. And last but not last, I have oily acne prone skin.
When I take off my make up at night, I use a simple baby wipe for sensitive skin. Of course that's not enough for an effective nightly facial routine. After I wash my face with the wipes, it looks like all of my make up is off. HOWEVER, when I wash my face with this Enzyme Cleansing Gel, my towel looks like I just wiped off a complete face of make up. I would think my face was perfectly clean but this cleanser took the dirt, oil, and make up straight from my pores! AWESOME!
This product may have been $12 but a little bit goes a long way and this bottle is packed full. I have been using this product for nearly 3 months and I use it about 4 days a week and look how much I still have! A lot of bang for your buck if I do say so myself......and I do.
Also, I have found that when it comes to buying facial cleansers, it's such a confusing deal! How do you figure put what is made specifically for your skin type?? But when I found Mario Badescu's line in Ulta, although I didn't realize it at the time, this product has a small sign on the side of the label that says whether its for oily skin, combination, dry skin, or even for all skin types! What?! Yeah! Yeah I said it! It's plain and clear!
 
Needless to say, I would recommend this product to any and everyone! I give it 5 out of 5 stars as a cleanser.

How to Survive a BAD HAIR DAY!

Whether you have natural, permed, or transitioning hair, everyone has a bad hair day. I am transitioning from relaxed to natural and sometimes I just do NOT know what to do with my hair!
That's when I bring out my handy dandy..................SCARF! Scarves have helped me through MANY bad hair days. I even just throw on a scarf in the morning when I don't want to style my hair when running to the store. It's so simple to tie and looks very cute. There are only two methods of tying that I believe look good on ME but there are many other ways that may look good on you.

The scarf is simply thrown on and tied in a ball in the back of my head. And yes, I felt totally comfortable going out like this. :)

Same style except its turned around. It's smooth in the back and the ball is in the front. Simple! (But ignore my messy sink!)

If you don't know how to do these styles and want a quick tutorial, comment and let me know!
