P-Co Beauty Diary

I am currently training for a 5k that I am going to run in March so until then I would like to abstain from alcohol. It not fun, I know, but I am trying to think of something else to do for Fridays. Any Suggestions?

I know I stated that I was on a  No Buy Plan  but I have cheated and bought things I didn't need.  So  I decided to come clean and share my latest haul. I had a Sephora gift card and ordered............. Urban Decay Naked 2 Pallet  Sephora Makeup Cleansing Wipes and as a bonus I got a Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Balm in Waikiki and  Totalbeauty.com  was having sale where you got a $30 credit to NYX Cosmetics for $15 so I got  Matt Bronzer  Eyebrow Shaper  The Caribbean Collection I Dream of St. Thomas 5 Color Shadow Fabulous Lashes in Precious  So I not sure what my next step should be since I broke my no-buy plan, I might start it again...............

This bag included -X Out Shine Control -NYX Roll On Shimmer -Premier Dead Sea Cinderella Mask -NuMe Professional $100 Gift Card -Freeman Facial Mask in Goji Berry

One of the first blogs I ever started reading was  Protecting Your Crown and Glory  by DPrincess28. Her blog and  YouTube Channel  actually inspired me to stop getting relaxers and start blogging. She was even featured in The Huffington Post as one of YouTube's Top 5 Natural Hair Care Vloggers.   When she asked for her subcribers to submit their transitioning stories to be featured on her blog I jumped at the chance. Now keep in mind this interview was done in September, so some things have changed but I am so thankful to be featured on her blog, thanks DPrincess28. Click HERE!  to check it out, XOXO!

I know I haven't been blogging like I should (have you noticed? even care?) but I have a giveaway coming up soon so stick with me!

I am on my way to a V-Day lunch so this post was made on my phone but I just wanted to check in and show what I got I my Birchbox today. Happy Valentines!

Here is what I used up Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser - This cleanser was just ok, nothing too special. Bare Escentuals Active Cell Renewal Night Serum - This serum seemed to l leave a film on my face that I did not enjoy. Sheer Cover Primer - This primer was not that great it would ball up when I went to out my foundation on, even my mineral foundation. For the most part I am glad that I that these items are out of my bathroom XOXO.

I know I am a little late this week but here is what I finished last week Sephora Daily Brush Cleaner -This is great for when I need to clean my brushes quickly Alterna Bamboo Smooth Kendi Dry Oil Mist - I used this when I wear my hair straight or curly to add moisture and shine  Philosophy Gingerbread Girl Duo -Love Love Love the way this smells, I also shared this with my kids and now it's gone (tear). Cover Girl Volume Exact Mascara- I don't even know if they make this exact mascara even more but this was a great drug store mascara. Miss Jessie's Curly Meringue - I have mention this before in one of my favorite post, I love this stuff but it's so expensive. Biss Lemon + Sage Soapy Suds - I like the way this body wash smells but I like the body butter better  See ya next time! XOXO!

This month's  Julep Maven Box  had an Oscar theme, and I picked the bombshell box(I am normally classic beauty). Inside was: 2 Julep Polishes one in Viola (deep dark purple) and one in Oscar (gold glitter) Julep Topcoat for Hair An Oscar Shaped Chocolate  I think this might be one of my favorite  Julep Maven  boxes. The nail colors are beautiful and the chocolate was too cute. XOXO!
