Face Time: Freeman Mask

I got into the Freeman Masks after watching Jenell of KinkyCurlCoilyMe on IG and again with Sunshine of Sunshines Natural & loving it. After hearing them rave about it i decided to go research and look for the ones that would work best with my skin.

I have combination/oily skin. Like when i wake up my face is dry but after cleansing and throughout the day it gets really oily so much so that it bothers my eyes a lot. Hence why i stopped wearing makeup (among other reasons) since i would always be rubbing my eyes. I did start blotting throughout the day but i needed something in my skin care line that would help. 

Freeman Feeling Beautiful Clay Purifying Facial MaskAs you all know from my last face time post with the ACV and ABS mishap, i switched to Carols Daughter Acai Clarifying line. After a trying it in one of their workshops and seeing the immediate effects that ti had on my skin. I was hooked. I bought the line and was impressed with the results. And combined with the Freeman Purifying Acai clay mask my skin was in heaven. i love the light berry scent of the clay mask and the fact that it goes on really smooth. It doesnt over dry or irritate my skin. And i highly recommend it to others with really oily skin like myself.


Freeman Feeling Beautiful Facial Polishing Mask, Charcoal & Black SugarRecently stopping into a beauty supply store i say the Freeman Feeling Beautiful Polishing mask, made with Charcoal and Black Sugar. I was like oh shit they have it. I first heard about it when i bought my first set of clay mask and it was still in the promotional phase. So i was like heck yea $5 well spent with this buy!

And it was.

This mask is a dual one. Its a mask but works as a scrub as well. Now if any of you have tried a brown sugar scrub with the large crystals then you know its a bit of a pain to rub in. But this not so much. You smooth it on first, leave for 5-7 minutes and then scrub it in before washing off with cool water. Unlike with other masks or scrubs you dont have to worry about missing any spots since the sugar dissolves  once the water touches it.

When i say i love this mask. I pretty much use it almost everyday! Its that good. With these three products my skin is brighter - has a bit of a glow to it, less oily, and smooth =)

Have you tried and Freeman masks? If so, whats you're favorite?

Face Time: I Found It!!!

My holy grail skin care product.. as much as i would like to say that the black soap and aloe vera was doing the best for me.. it wasnt ::shrug::

But!...

Carols Daughter Acai Clarifying skin care line definitely is it for me!

So there's a  foam cleanser that smells like lemons and a toner that contains a nautral exfoliant called meadowsweet.. no you wont feel the beads or anything like that scrubbing your face but it does a great job! and then theres the calrifying lotion, very lightweight. you put it on right after the toner so that they both work on your face throughout the day.

My skin is clearing up nicely, my pores look so much smaller, and the dark spots from the abs/acv burn look so much lighter!

Sigh... i'm in love!

This product i give a major thumbs up and thanks to the lovely

Carol's daughter & CurlX: Spring Repair & Renew Mixer

 



<---The lovely ladies from CurlX.. Nikki on the right and Jasmine on the left.. blogger Toia of ToBNatural in the middle (thats who told me about the event)






So this event was just fun all around.. i showed up on CP time cause you know i was washing my hair and shit.. started late on it and that was my EBW weekend hair care post.. i left out of there with wet hair and some definitionfrom the twists i had in.. it was fun had a high puff thing going .I went with my girl Krystal and met one of my friends from HSA (Haitian Student Assoc. at Hunter College) there, Curlee D.

Curlee, Moi, et Krystal

 So there the ladies of Carols Daughter and CurlX spoke on using Carol's Daughter products on both ahir and face and how it greatly moisturized their hair and changed the skin for the better. With me dealing with my dark spots from the reaction to the ACV & black Soap combo i was an avid listener. Jasmine of CurlX spoke of her discomfort n her own skin due to acne and dark spots and now that she has been using the Acai skin care line of CD it has changed her skin for the better and with that her confidence in herself grew and she learned to love herself as is. Just like i do. She was a sweetheart to talk to. After the discussion ladies were free to browse, talk to Jasmine & Nikki, or take part in free facials, hand scrubs, or hair consultations.

this will be my new skin care product.. it worked so great on me even my mom said i was glowing!

Hand Scrubs from Natalie

It was a great turn out and i definitely enjoyed my self. krystal wanted to get her hair done but wasn't happy with the $100 first time consulation fee she had to go through.. i wasn't either, all she wanted to do was color her hair, sigh the pains of a naturals wallet when she wants to go get it done.
