NATURAL BEAUTY!

FALLING LEAVES, COOLER NIGHTS...
THE COLD WEATHER IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY APPROACHING
SO TO WRAP UP THIS OCTOBER MONTH 
THE FAM AND I TOOK A TRIP TO "SKYLINE DRIVE" AT SHENANDOAH NATIONAL PARK
I HEARD THIS IS AN AWESOME PLACE TO GO FOR HIKES FOR THE NATURE TRAILS
ESPECIALLY THIS TIME OF YEAR.
UNFORTUNATELY WE DIDN'T GO ON A TRAIL WE JUST DROVE AND STOPPED AT SOME OF THE PARKS OFF LOOKS AND ADMIRED NATURE AND ALL IT HAS TO OFFER...
THE LINE TO GET INTO THE PARK WAS HUUUUUUGE!
SOOO MANY PEOPLE WERE THERE! LOL







SCARY TREE... DO YOU SEE WHAT I SEE???? LOL


THE SUN IS BEGINNING TO SET.... HAD TO HURRY... LOL



FOUND THE PERFECT SPOT TO WATCH THE SUNSET...  :)


THIS REMINDED ME OF THE "LION KING" LOL



THE SUNSET WAS SO BEAUTIFUL...
THIS PARK WAS HUGE WE DIDN'T DRIVE THROUGH THE ENTIRE PARK JUST WHATEVER WE GOT TO BEFORE SUNSET HIT...
IT WAS MY 1ST TIME HERE..AND HOPEFULLY NOT MY LAST..
WELL I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY PICTURES AS MUCH AS I DID TAKING THEM!
:)

XOXO  JOCEE

M.A.C. 
SO I'M SURE AS MOST OF YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW THAT M.A.C. CAME OUT WITH THE "VENOMOUS VILLAINS" COLLECTION.. WELL I PICKED UP A COUPLE OF THINGS THE OTHER DAY AND I WASN'T REALLY GOING TO MENTION THEM SINCE ITS ONLY 2 ITEMS BUT I THOUGHT ID SHOW YOU AND SHARE MY THOUGHTS ON THEM...
I WENT TO THE MAC STORE AND LOOKED AT THE COLLECTION AND WASN'T REALLY IMPRESSED WITH MOST OF THE ITEMS, AND IN MY OPINION I FEEL LIKE THE PACKAGING IS KIND OF CHEESY AND POORLY MADE... YET ALOT OF THE ITEMS WERE SOLD OUT LIKE MOST LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION ARE..
THESE WERE THE ONLY 2 THAT STOOD OUT TO ME...

CRUELLA DE VIL
BEAUTY POWDER- HER OWN DEVICES


EVIL QUEEN
POWDER BLUSH- BITE OF AN APPLE


THE PIGMENTATION WAS SO-SO, NOT GREAT..
WHAT WERE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS COLLECTION??

THE BODY SHOP


THE BODY SHOP
LATELY IVE BECOME OBSESSED WITH TRYING NEW SKINCARE PRODUCTS
ITS ALWAYS GOOD TO SWITCH UP YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE OR SHOULD I SAY YOUR PRODUCTS, ONLY FOR THE FACT THAT YOUR SKIN WILL GET USED TO WHATEVER PRODUCT YOUR CONTINUOUSLY USING AND WILL EVENTUALLY STOP WORKING BY NOT GETTING THE SAME RESULTS AS YOU DID AT THE BEGINNING. SO I LIKE TO SWITCH UP MY PRODUCTS EVERY WEEK OR SO..
FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IVE BEEN USING PRODUCTS FROM THE BODY SHOP ON AND OFF, AND EVENTUALLY I RAN OUT OF A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT LIKED ENOUGH TO REPURCHASE. THEY HAVE A PROMOTION GOING ON RIGHT NOW "BUY 2 GET 1 FOR $.76" I TOOK ADVANTAGE AND PICKED THESE UP.

SEAWEED CLARIFYING TONER
COMBINATION/OILY SKIN
I LIKE THIS TONER BECAUSE ITS NOT HARSH ON MY SKIN LIKE OTHER TONERS I HAVE, NOR DOES IT SMELL LIKE PURE ALCOHOL!


SEAWEED MATTIFYING MOISTURE LOTION SPF 15
DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS! MATTIFYS OILY SKIN AND HAS SPF!
I WAS REALLY SKEPTICAL AT FIRST BECAUSE ITS HARD TO FIND ONE THAT REALLY WORKS.
USUALLY LOTIONS WITH SPF TEND TO BE VERY THICK AND FEEL HEAVY ON THE SKIN
(NOT A GOOD THING IF YOU HAVE OILY SKIN)
BUT THIS ONE IS GREAT. I MUST SAY ITS ONE OF MY FAVE MOISTURIZERS. :)

SEAWEED PORE PERFECTOR
REDUCES PORES AND HELPS KEEP AWAY BLEMISHES BEFORE THEY EVEN APPEAR.
I LOVE THIS MIRACLE IN A BOTTLE! A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY, WHICH IS ALWAYS GOOD ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS A TINY BOTTLE.

I HAVE OTHER PRODUCTS FROM THEIR "SEAWEED" SKINCARE LINE
WHICH IS TARGETED FOR NORMAL/COMBINATION OILY SKIN TYPE
BUT THESE ARE MY TOP 3 FAVES FROM THE BODY SHOP
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THESE 3, THEY HAVE WORKED GREAT FOR ME AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO CATCH THEM WHILE THEY WERE ON SALE.   ;)
I HOPE YOU DO TOO!

XOXO - JO.CEE

LUSH HAUL!

TYPICAL SATURDAY...
I WAS AT THE MALL TODAY DOING A LITTLE SHOPPING AND SINCE I'VE BEEN REALLY PAYING MUCH MORE ATTENTION TO WHAT SKINCARE PRODUCTS I USE, TRYING TO BE "SAFE" OR JUST AWARE OF WHAT I PUT ON MY SKIN.. (SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE DONE ALONG TIME AGO.. LOL)


I STOPPED AT LUSH AND PICKED UP A FEW PRODUCTS SINCE IVE HEARD SO MANY GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT. WHAT I THOUGHT WAS REALLY GREAT AND UNIQUE ABOUT LUSH IS THAT THE ALL THEIR PRODUCTS ARE MADE WITH FRESH ORGANIC FRUIT AND VEGETABLES NOT TO MENTION EVERYTHING IS HANDMADE!

"TEA TREE WATER TONER"
TONES AND DETOXIFIES
FOR NORMAL TO OILY SKIN ALSO HELPS FOR TROUBLESOME PORES
"EAU ROMA WATER TONER"
SENSITIVE SKIN
HELPS REDUCE REDNESS AND DETOXIFIES


"DARK ANGELS"
FACIAL CLEANSER
THE LADY THAT HELPED ME AT THE STORE SAID THIS IS MORE LIKE A WEEKLY EXFOLIATER. NOT REALLY FOR EVERYDAY USE IF YOU HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN.
SORT OF REMINDS ME OF "VOLCANIC ASH EXFOLIATER" BY M.A.C.




"CALACAS"
SHOWER JELLY
SOOTHING AND MOISTURIZING ALOE VERA GEL


"MINT JULIPS"
LIP SCRUB



I'M EXCITED ABOUT THESE NEW GOODIES AND CANT WAIT TO TRY OUT MORE OF THEIR PRODUCTS. THE TONERS ARE GREAT FOR THOSE BUSY DAYS! JUST SPRAY AND GO TO REFRESH YOUR SKIN!
SO MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS..
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU PUT ON YOUR SKIN?

VICTORIAS SECRET, MACYS MINI HAUL

 Hello ladies!

 Guess where I went?! The MALL of course for some much needed retail therapy! lol I made a quick trip to Victoria's Secret & Macy's and picked up a couple things and figured I'd share my thoughts on what I bought..

First up..Victoria's Secret. I wanted to try their cosmetic line.. after alot of swatching at the store I finally decided on 3 lipsticks and 1 lip gloss... ok so right off the bat what I liked about them was that both lipstick and lip gloss are soo smooth and moisturizing and the lip gloss is not sticky like some other glosses I own.

Lipsticks
  • Scrumptious
  • Celebutante
  • Whisper
Lip Gloss
  • Glow


SCRUMPTIOUS..WHISPER..CELEBUTANTE..

Next up MACYS!!

Okay so I been on the hunt for a new perfume and as I was browsing around Macy's
the lady at the counter asked me if Ive ever tried on the Versace "Crystal Nior"
I told her I had one already (Bright Crystal) and she went on about how this one is always sold out and they finally got them back in stock .. long story short whether or not her story was true..when I smelled the tester I was in LOVE! Its such a sexy scent for fall. It was a must-have in my opinion and great addition for my collection of perfumes! :)



I hope you enjoyed my mini haul and found it alittle useful..
Whats your fave fall scent?? I'd love to check them out.
Til next time!
Stay beautiful..

xoxo - Jo*cee
