Beauty Nopes! Lush Cupcake

One of my biggest pet peeves about the beauty bloggers and vloggers that I follow is when they do not share products they do not like! So in order to break from that mold of only showing you my favorites, I want to share those products that have me literally saying out loud "NOPE". Instead of making this a monthly post, like my favorites, I am going to make this a weekly post with about one or two products that I have tried that are just not worth your time or money and why I think that!





Before the move I had a roommate who worked at Lush, so I was fortunate enough to try a bunch of different masks, a lot of which will end up in these Nope posts, and Cupcake was my favorite one but reacted the worst with my skin. The mask is technically made for that overly oily skin teenagers have and includes ingredients to cool, calm redness, and deep cleanse the skin. All of which sounds amazing, and for someone who was overly oily for years and still has oily days, it seemed like it would be a good fit (especially during that time of the month). Plus it smells like a chocolate cupcake, nom noms.


Boy was I wrong, it dried my skin out completely which resulted in a week of overly oily skin that needed to replenish itself! I ended up breaking out due to the overage of oil, but I knew in order to get back to normal, I couldn't keep using too many spot treatments with alcohol to dry out the skin. I had to ride it out, clogged pores and all. Now to say it didn't work for me and my normal-oily skin is an understatement. Do I think teens should be using something so potent? Nope! I'm sure there are people picking this one up due to the fact that it's called cupcake without a regard for how it will react to their skin, but for those of you thinking about purchasing this for the benefits, I'd like to caution you to grab a sample beforehand just in case the clay base soaks up all of the natural oils your skin needs.

I hope you guys will enjoy reading about the products I don't like, if I happen to include something that is your favorite, please do not take it to heart! We all have different skin types, body types, and opinions. That's why the makeup industry keeps on growing, we want more! Thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for next week's Beauty Nopes!

March Madness Challenge

I decided I need to make changes in my life. After reading a lot of blogs and spending hours on YouTube, I learned in order to look and feel healthier there is one thing holding me back. This thing I reach for instantly when I wake up. I consume it every day with almost every meal, and in some instances it is the only thing I drink all day. It is my perfect snack. Something I've never left a Wawa without. This crutch that I have given myself over the years is Coca-Cola. I live and breathe the white wave on the front of every bottle. I love the polar bears and own the plush versions of them in two out of the three sizes. I collect Mycokerewards from roommates, friends, family and coworkers. I can rattle off random information about the soda and the company as a whole. My dream kitchen has a retro feel with Coca-Cola accents. And the Coca-Cola Santa is the real Santa. I am an addict. I am addicted to the carbonation tickling my tongue and giving me the everlasting joy I seek in a

Where I've been for 2.5 years

Hey there! I’d like to reintroduce myself, I’m Krystal and welcome to my blog! I am now 28 and still living in the West Chester area with my boyfriend and fur babies (we’ve added another kitty, Callie, to the family since my last post J ). I’m totally still obsessed with binge watching TV shows and keeping my positivity up when I can. Writing has been such a huge part of my life since high school. It was my creative outlet until college where I felt put in a box without being able to speak my truth through each key stroke. So it seemed I needed a purpose for every perfectly structured sentence and I found that I couldn’t perform creatively under those circumstances. I needed an unrefined and unrestricted flow and this is where I found myself. At first, I started blogging to share my wellness journey that I didn’t even realize at the time was the beginning. I wanted to challenge myself to stop drinking Coke and I did it. I shared how drinking more water and no soda started cha

New Years Resolution for 2016

A new year entitles us all to a new beginning. As the year ends, most people like to set new goals and aspirations to make the next year better than the one before and to improve themselves. Last year, I challenged myself to stop drinking soda, something that I am absolutely in love with. Those 30 days were such a struggle and I gained so much support in the process. I have gone back to drinking soda only because the other drinks I replaced it with had just as much sugar, if not more. Now, I honestly drink a lot less. In one night Nick and I could finish off a 12 pack and still need more, whereas now the same amount can last us weeks. I am proud of myself for the progress I’ve made with soda in less than a year. Although I believe I could be healthier, I have decided to take this year to not focus on my appearance. This might sound crazy coming from someone who blogs about using makeup and posts selfies at least once a week, but I like to look at makeup as clothing. I have cloth
