MIA ROD MAKEUP

NO SERIOUSLY I’LL BE USING THIS SHIT UNTIL THE DAY I DIE. Here are all of my skincare products that I’ve developed a serious attachment to – my skin is really all over the place and beyond sensitive, but all of this keeps it in check.

 

 

 

SHEA MOISTURE AFRICAN BLACK SOAP BAR

This soap LITERALLY makes my skin feel squeaky clean after I use it. It takes off every bit of makeup and oil, but it doesn’t dry out my face which is one of my biggest pet peeves. It’s meant for acne prone skin or people who get eczema ( or people who are lucky with both like me ) – It won’t irritate any dry patches, but it drys out pimples like a god damn miracle worker.

 

 

SHEA MOISTURE AFRICAN BLACK SOAP CLARIFYING MUD MASK

This mask is basically just their soap turned up like 100 notches. I used to not believe in mud masks, but this made me a serious believer. Use this at night before you go to bed, and when you wake up in the morning I PROMISE you will see a difference. Not only does it totally clear up my skin, but it clears up any scarring, too ( so if you pick at your skin incessantly like me this is your saving grace).

 

 

 

ACNEFREE CLEANSER

So my love for the african black soap definitely outweighs my love for this soap, but it’s still really fricken great. I alternate using this soap with the black soap while I’m breaking out ( because your skin builds up a tolerance to skin products ) and it gets rid of all my little bumps and blackheads. The only thing I don’t like about this is how badly it dries me out, which is why I don’t use it all the time, but when my face is looking like a pepperoni pizza it works wonders.

 

 

 

 

 

THE BODY SHOP TEA TREE FACIAL SOAP

So IDK about you guys, but my skin freaks out when I travel. This little guy is only 4 dollars at ULTA, and it lasts me at least two trips. Tea tree oil works like a charm on pimples, especially those stress pimples that just don’t want to GTFO. I also love this soap because it doesn’t irritate my face when it’s sunburnt ( major key for a pale bitch like me ).

 

 

 

ST. IVE’S BLEMISH CONTROL APRICOT SCRUB

Pretty sure I’ve been using this since the 4th grade – I hate scrubs that aren’t aggressive, you know? Like if I’m going to exfoliate my skin I want it scrub off all my sins, not just make my skin a little soft. I use this 3 or 4 times a week, and it gets rid of little bumps, blackheads, dead skin, and helps with brightness and scarring. My little secret with this scrub is that I also use it before I shave anywhere on my body because it prevents ingrown hairs and gets you a closer shave.

 

 

 

LUSH ULTRABLAND CLEANSING OIL

Since I’m more often than not a very lazy bitch, finding this product made my heart so happy. All you have to do is rub this all over your face, wipe it all off with a wet washcloth and BOOM you’re done. It’s beeswax so it’s great for your skin and very moisturizing. If you have oilier skin, instead of using a washcloth to get it off, wash it off with a face soap    ( I use the acne free since this wax keeps me from drying out ).

 

 

NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST WATER GEL

This is honest to God the best face lotion I have ever used. First of all, ever since I started using this, my face has gone from straight oil slick to… whatever the opposite of an oil slick would be lol. But seriously my face is never oily anymore because this lotion is so light but also so moisturizing.

 

 

 

S.W. BASICS OIL SERUM

So when I don’t use the neutrogena lotion I use this. I usually use it 3 or 4 nights of the week, but I’ll use it every night when my face is really dry. Besides moisture, it makes my skin glow and helps scarring. I also use it for my lips, which I mentioned in my Youtube video, because it does wonders for some cracked ass lips.

 

 

 

 

ARDELL TRIM AND SHAPE BROW RAZORS

These razors are my secret weapon, and I can’t believe I’m exposing myself to the internet ( but like that’s what I’m here for right? ). YES BITCHES I SHAVE MY FACE, but like what is more annoying than peach fuzz ? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Latinas don’t lack in the hair department and it’s annoying ok? Shaving your face makes your makeup go on a thousand times better, but it also exfoliates your skin – not kidding, my face will be sooooooooo soft for at least two weeks. All I do is wash and exfoliate my face, dry it, and dry shave with one of these babies ( don’t go against the way the hair grows, shave the same way ). The only thing I advise is to not put any oils on your face for two days to avoid any aggravation.

 

Hope I could help ya
