❤ Glamglow Products ❤

Hey guys! Tonight I will be discussing Glamglow's products that I have most recently tried out.
So, a couple of months back I heard about Glamglow via Manny MUA, a very well known Makeup Artist on Youtube. He spoke very highly of this brand and started doing snapchat stories of him applying one of their mud masks on and talking about how he felt about it afterwards. I do recall one night he said his face got kinda red, which was odd, but it went back to normal after ten minutes. This kind of alarmed me since I do have rosacea, and very sensitive skin at that. But, I still wanted to try it because my pores are very problematic and I just wanted my skin to get back in shape. So, I went to Sephora and purchased this.

I was only able to link the full size product for what I got because for some reason Sephora doesn't sell the size I was able to get online. But, what I got in stores was this cute little box (I am so in love with their packaging always) and this was inside.

So basically these were individual little packets (5) enough for your entire face to cover in mask.
INSTRUCTIONS:
  1. Make sure your entire face is clean before applying this product. What I use (now) is the Glamglow YouthCleanse Exfoliating Daily Cleanser (I will review this later in this post!!). 
  2. Be careful how much you apply. I would say apply light amounts but it dries very very fast, so know how much you want to apply before doing it. Also, make sure you proportion it correctly so theres not too much on one cheek and not enough left in the pack for the rest of your face!
  3. (Varying skin types) the package says wait 25 mins. max to wash it off. If you have irritable skin like me, I would probably take it off somewhere between 15-20 mins. because it is kind of a harsh product.
  4. Only use this maybe once or twice a week! Overusing masks can be dehydrating for your skin. (I'm guilty for doing this, though.)

This is what it looks like a bit after drying! Once it's completely dried it will be light grey. It feels kinda tingly at first but honestly, it's kind of soothing. And I really love the smell because it reminds me of tea.

So next, I'll be talking about the Cleanser!


It's honestly SUPER big and only 39$, which might seem like a lot to some, but it's for sure something I'd invest in. It's such a trusted brand and from what I saw with the mask, I needed the cleanser. I've bounced around with so many different cleansers but now I know this is for sure my favorite. When I shower and am about to do my makeup, I use a backup cleanser, which would be a more light one, since I'm not doing my entire nightly routine. But, for the nightly routine, I use this. 


This is what it looks applied. It doesn't foam up, it just kind of feels like soap all over your face. The person who sold it to me at Sephora said its good for if you do use it in the shower (or just in general I guess!) to leave it on your face for a bit because it still has some of that mud effect where it dries a bit then you can wash it off. I feel just as nice after using this as I do with the mud mask!



So, I accidentally purchased this thinking it was the same thing as the mud mask just packaged differently. These are very similar products, except this contains particles that are meant to exfoliate your skin. So, you have to work this into your skin then let it dry for 10 minutes. I haven't messed around with this too much since I was kind of surprised about it being different but I plan on using it more in the future!

I would also like to give a lil before and after skin difference before and after using Glamglow products (and also a separate acne treatment from another company).

Things I've noticed most:

  • Skin looks tighter/more even
  • Pores minimized
  • Acne clearing
  • Brighter skin
So, clearly my experience with Glamglow has been extremely good, but that's just me. I'd love to hear all of your thoughts on their products. Feel free to comment on my blog post or tweet me what you think!

Thanks for reading

♡Disney Haul♡



Hi! So I made a post about my Disney trip but I never got around to showing you guys what I ended up buying!



First is this cute lil Dumbo baby plush! I don't think this series has a name? I've always seen them when I visit Disney and always wanted one so I got it. It really was a tie between this one and the Pegasus from Hercules. 



If you've never heard of Tsum Tsums, you must be living under a rock. This is an exclusive collection of stackable plushies straight out of Disney Japan! They're adorable and I'm a big collecter.

So, in this Disney trip I only got this one Tsum Tsum. Which to me seems quite shocking because it's DISNEY? They only had like 3 Tsum Tsums, and it wasn't even in the park. I had to go to a store in Downtown Disney. When I got home to South Florida I went to Target and got like 5 of them! And there was even a better selection. in this trip I honestly got like 20 Tsum Tsums big and small, but only 1 was from Disney.


I got this cute little Simba keychain for my purse!



Me and my best friends bought this promotional lanyard with 8 original Disney character pins, and if you go around Disney and Disney related stores you can trade them and even find some pretty rare ones! I found a Baymax one in a store and had to buy it ( ・_・)♡

That's it for this trip ~

♡Orlando Trip♡

Hi guys,
yesterday I finally got back from my weekend trip to Orlando with my best friends and it was kind of a rocky weekend but in the end turned out to be a good one. I don't regret going at all, and took a bunch of pics of Universal/Magic Kingdom I'd like 2 share with you!

I'm not a crazy Universal fan because rides normally make me nauseous/trigger panic attacks, but I think it's so beautiful because they put so much detail in the parks (same with Disney). Here's some pics of Jurassic Park:


What I was mainly excited for was Harry Potter world since I hadn't seen their newest extension (Diagon Alley). Here's some pics:


I look sooo bad ( /)w(\✿) but it was so humid out. These pics don't even do it justice!
I also had the opportunity to revisit Magic Kingdom for the 3845833th time. I didn't get many good pictures because it was pouring ALL day but I'm glad I got a couple!



Tomorrowland! They had an Incredible dance party! I was pretty upset they didn't have the characters out, though


Apparently you can ask people who are holding the groups of balloons if you can hold them for a picture and they'll let you!



I was so excited to see they had already started their Halloween decorating because since I moved away, I can't just go back and visit when it's time! I was sooooo happy.



Last but not least, the fireworks! Magic Kingdom does these every night apparently, and I've never been able to see them in the past twelve years i've been going.


I also got this really funny/conveniently pretty picture of my friend Emma taking pictures of the fireworks



That's all for this post but I'll be making another on some products/things I got from Disney/the mall. Thank u for reading
