St.Ives Review

Hello Lovies, So today I thought I would do my review on the two St. Ives products that I own. St. Ives is
discussed alot in the You-tube beauty community. It seems like it is either a hit oo miss for most people.St.Ives is a brand that specializes in skin care. I purchased two of their products, one of which always has a extreme hype about it.The first product is the St.Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub. If you refer to My Skin post, you would know that I have combination to dry skin. My skin is also pretty tough/thick,
and not very sensitive.
Texture: Quite gritty.
Claims:Exfoliates to reveal smooth,radiant skin
Feels: A tad rough not irritating on my skin however.
Smell:Apricot
Overall:It does live up to its claim. My skin feels very refreshed and smooth after. I use this scrub with a exfoliator brush and rotate it in a circular motion.
I know quite a few people dislike this product because it irritates their skin, but on mine it works very
well. I love using it after a long run or a hot day.
Repurchase?:Yes


The second product that I purchased was the St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub.
Texture: Gritty yet smooth.
Claims:Clears breakouts and reduces redness Salicylic Acid Acne Medication With 100% Natural Green Tea
Feels: Smooth and refreshing.
Smell:Green tea
Overall: The product is very nice and refreshing. I used this product by messaging it into my skin in a circular motion. It did reduce redness but I did not notice a change in my breakouts. My breakouts still seemed to stay around theaverage amount of time.
Repurchase?: Maybe


Hope you enjoy!

Pretty Little Liars Fashion.

Does anyone else watch this show? I have been in love with it since I first saw the preview. Anything with mystery and crime like solving is my type of show. I must admit though That I never actually read the book series. However my library will be having a stop by me in the very near future to pick up some of the books. Along with the amazing plot line I am loving the outfits put together for the characters on the show. Each characters outfits definitely represents their personality. Here are some of the few I am loving:

I adore this outfit.

Love, love, love, the shoes!

and just becuase Ian Harding is beautiful:)

I must say that even though I love Aria's(Lucy Hale) style the most my curent style resembles Emily's(Shay Mitchell).

What other shows do you like the style and fashion of the characters?

Typing this lovely post listening to: Dave Koz-December Makes Me Feel This way.

Nails of The Week.

I cant even remember what the name or brand of my first nail polish, but since that time I have had quite a collection. I usually only paint my nails before each cross country, track, or exc. running race. But today I felt rather in the mood to just paint them. Summer always brings out the best nailpolish combinations.

(thumb&pinkie-Orly Lemonaid;index-Orly CottonCandy;middle-N.Y.C. polyester blue;ring-bonbons lavender color)

Happy July 4th:)

Enjoy those fireworks! I gotta 6k run tommorow:)

OOTD3

Yes I am filling up another blog post with my outfit of the day, but I pinky swear that more worthy entries are coming soon. I just recently got out of school and I wanted a nice week of complete freeness from the computer(due to the fact that i had two compositions due the last week of school and one for my final). So this past week pretty much consisted of NCIS from noon to five, some cleaning and tidying here and there, Gilad workouts at 10-11am and 6:30 pm, with the occasional gym and running workouts. Cross country unofficial starts next, but ill talk more about that on my healthish and running type blog. I also have not been using any hair products on my hair from the May 31st till today, I want to make it a month without product of hot tools. The only thing i have been using is organic shampoo. Its amazing how when you listen to your hair and body it feels so much better.

So no more ramble, this was my OOTD.

Love, Chelsea
