REVIEW: La Fresh Makeup Wipes

review la fresh group makeup wipes ebony jay beauty my way

I was approached by the La Fresh Group to review a few of their products and I was so excited that they sent so many for me to try.

First off, let's find out a little bit about the company.

What they do:

Let's get started.

 The first product that I received was the oil-free makeup remover wipes.

I am a big fan of makeup removing wipes because sometimes I do not feel like washing my face but I want to remove my makeup.

I was really happy with these wipes. I have sensitive skin and some wipes tend to make my skin burn, these did not. They do not have a weird smell like some wipes I have tried before.

I do not wear waterproof makeup so I can't say whether they work well with it but I can say that these wipes removed most of my makeup. I found myself using two wipes to completely remove it.

Next is the facial cleansing wipes.

The great thing about these wipes is the ingredients which includes: Aloe vera, cucumber, chamomile, marshmallow & tea plant botanical extracts.

I feel that these wipes did work as a facial cleanser, however, I did find myself using two wipes in order to get my face clean.

For some reason these wipes did make my skin burn a tiny bit. Nowhere near excruciating but there was a tingle.

 Another product they sent me was the waterproof makeup remover wipes.

As I stated before I do not wear waterproof makeup but my mother does. I had her use the wipes to remove her makeup.

The wipes worked to remover her makeup, however, she did have to rub for a bit of time before it was completely removed.

On the upside she only had to use one wipe as opposed to the two that I usually use.

My mother also has sensitive and the wipes did not irritate her skin in any way.

The last product they sent me was the oil free facial cleansing wipes.

The facial cleansing wipes have some really great ingredients including: Papaya, pineapple, cucumber, marshmallow, oat, aloe, chamomile extracts, and Vitamin C & Vitamin E

They also have a very pleasant smell which I love.

Surprisingly, where the other facial cleansing wipes made my skin tingle these did not.

Also these are the only wipes that I received that I did not feel like I had to use more than one wipe.

Let's recap:

Pros:
Amazing ingredients
Nice smell
Travel size
Good for sensitive skin
Works for waterproof makeup
Good price

Cons:
May have to use more than one wipe

Overall I really like these makeup wipes and I think that La Fresh Group is doing a fantastic job with their products!

I will most likely purchase the oil-free cleansing wipes as they were my favorite product of the bunch.

Be safe and I will see you in my next post!

REVIEW: Maybelline Color Whisper


Hello beauty lovers! I am back with another review and it is going to be for a product that I have wanted to try for a long time. The Maybelline Color Whispers lip balms!


So lets get started!


I am pretty much obsessed with lip balms so I was really excited when I bought this product. The shade that I got is 50 and it is a bright pink. At first I was a little apprehensive about the color because I have to be careful around pink because of my skin tone. However the great thing about these lip balms is the the color is not really overwhelming. It is more of a splash of color to your lips.


One thing that I like for my lip balms to do is moisturize my lips. I would not say that this is a really moisturizing lip balm however. It starts off that way but after a while I find that it starts to stick more to my lips, almost like a stain than a balm. This is not a bad trait, just something different!


I really like that this product is that it is not too heavy. There are some lip products that tend to make my lips feel weighed down however that is not the case with this balm.


Another great thing about this product is that you do not have to use a lot of it to get the result that you want. This is particularly useful because it keeps me from having to repurchase it as often as a would a different kind of lip balm or lipstick product.

Overall I really like this product and I may purchase this product again and if I do it will most likely be a different shade.

I purchased the Maybelline Color Whisper at Target.

Well guys that is it for this post!

REVIEW: Covergirl Whipped Foundation!


Hello beauty friends! I am back with another review and today it is going to be on the Covergirl Whipped Creme Foundation. 

So let's jump right into the review!


This is the second Covergirl product that I have ever tried and I have to say that I had really high hopes because it is such a popular brand


First off, the texture of this foundation is unlike any that I have ever tried or seen before. It really is like a thick creme. It does not spill at all if you turn it over because it is so thick which in my opinion is great because I have spilled many a foundation in my day. Also because it is so thick I find myself using less of it than I would of any other foundation which is also great because it keeps me from having to buy foundation as regularly.

Second, the packaging. It is in a small container and usually I have a problem with foundations that do not have a pump because I feel like it is just a circus for germs if it does not. But I have not had this fear when it comes to this foundation. Also there is a lot more product than you may think at first.



Third, moving on to the application. Despite the thickness of this foundation it applies to the skin very nicely but does not have full coverage. For full coverage you need to add 2 layers. Another things about this foundation is that it makes your skin look lighter than it is so your really want to make sure that you apply foundation to your ear and neck before going out into the sun. Also be sure to blend into your hairline!


Overall I really like this foundation and even though I will not be repurchasing it I do recommend it to anyone who is looking for a new foundation to try!

I bought the Covergirl Whipped Creme Foundation at Target.

Well guys that is it for this post!
