The Magic of Lemons

 

Not only are lemons great to make a refreshing cup of lemonade and a little profit on the side, but it also makes for a great cleanser from the house to your skin. 

Origin: Asia

Facts:

The health benefits of the lemon have been known and practiced for centuries, mainly due to  its anti-viral, antibacterial, and immune-boosting characters. Add lemons to that weight loss program you've possibly been struggling with because it is a natural digestive aid and it helps cleanse the liver. If you've got that one stubborn zit that constantly comes back, dab some lemon juice straight on it. At night add about 1/2 as much of rose water or honey water as the lemons to cleanse the skin, but its fine to just dab lemon straight on as well for the night routine.

Uses:

-Whitening the floors        -Reducing Pimples              -cooking

-Fragrance                         -Reducing redness               -reduces strokes

Make up Forever's High Definition Foundation

               

Price: $ 43.00

Bought From: Sephora 

Build-able: Somewhat

Coverage: Light- Medium

My Skin Type: Combination/ oily and dry.

Overall Thought:  I had gotten this foundation for Christmas and I felt it was very considerable based on the reviews on YouTube. However, this product did make me break out and I even felt it extenuated the blemishes I already had. With make-up I know it will not cover all my blemishes but I expect it to decently cover it up because I'm not expecting my skin to look perfect just presentable when I do wear make-up.

   

How long does it last? : This product lasts to about 5 hours but you may need to powder yourself every one to two hours because you will look very oily/ shiny.

      

Would I buy this again: No, because my skin did not respond positively to the product and it caused me to break-out.

     

Would I Recommend it: Yes, to those with less sensitive skin and little to no acne/ Blemishes

Bought From: Koreana Plaza  
            
      This product can be found at the closest Nature republic's to you or online  for about $10.00 but it is totally worth the money you spend on it. This gel can be applied almost anywhere onto the body but do avoid the eyes and open wounds because it does contain alcohol. With an Application of this Aloe Vera you would feel awake, refreshed, youthful, and even glowing.
