Shameless Product Plug

I had to shamelessly plug a product that I have fallen in love with. I know that the 4 readers of this blog will find this very useful..... well if you have really dry skin and need a lotion that will give a fabulous sheen without being greasy then you will find this useful.

This product is marketed to a mostly African American base, but I love it! My elbows were pretty dry and no matter what I put on them either it wouldn't go away or the dryness would be back the next day. Ambi is an olive oil, shea butter base and the scent reminds me of a Jafra product that my mom used to use. It's clean and slightly lemony smelling. The absorption is quick but you will feel the moisture all day.

As a side note, I won't review a product unless I have used at least more than half the bottle and really know if it works or not. This one is a major favorite!

Econimizing And A Review

So, in my quest to simplify, economize and generally spend less on things, I bit the bullet and found the least expensive makeup foundation I could find. I had run out of my other options which ranged from a fairly expensive Bare Minerals powder foundation to the very inexpensive before shipping E.L.F. foundation. Trying to economize I went online to by the latter and found that after shipping it really wasn't worth it.

 

Later that day I went to my local Alberstons and looked through all of the choices. I settled on a Cover Girl clean makeup in natural beige. It was a little over 5$ (great price in my opinion!).  It looked a little too pink in the bottle but it was the closest I could find to my shade. It has done the job and so far no one has commented that my face has a pinky glow to it. 

The down side to this brand was that there were so few options of colors and the colors that they did have were less natural looking in the bottle. But the price was right and it is smooth and creamy and easy to apply.
