The little Bite Size 4 pan quad palettes from @elfcosmetics are not only amazing but they’re also only $3 USD! They’re available in 8 different quad combos with the cutest food related names such as Cream and Sugar, Pumpkin Pie, Carnival Candy, and Açaí You. Out of the eight available quads I have three: Rose Water, Berry Bad, and Cream and Sugar. They are all beautiful and great quality, but Rose Water is my favorite and most used.

Surprisingly it seems that every time I use the shadows in the Rose Water quad someone will compliments me on my eyeshadow look. I’ve hit pan on my original quad, so I’ve already repurchased another new one.

Does Manuka Honey and Yogurt Really Make A Difference In The Health Of Your Hair? The Results From This $12 Product Will Shock You

January 8, 2021January 1, 2021 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

Ever since I was younger I have always been obsessed with smooth, soft, shiny hair. I’ve used all kinds of different types of products with various results. I love when I find a winner and hate when it is a waste of time and money!

I’ve been a fan of Shea Moisture kids detangler for a few years now, so I figured I would branch out and try some of their other products. I fell in love, and I have a feeling you will not be disappointed either!

I cannot say enough about the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey and Yogurt Hydrate and Repair Protein Power Treatment! There’s a noticeable difference in the feel and look of my hair when I use this treatment.
Marketed more towards curly hair, this product would be great for all hair types.

SheaMoisture Treatment Hair Masque for Extremely Dry Hair Manuka Honey and Yogurt – 8 fl oz

The scent is amazing. Not coconut or floral or fruity like a lot of hair care products, just a pleasant scent. I use this treatment once a week, and a little bit of product goes a long way, so the 8 oz last a long time.
They also make a conditioner and leave in with the same scent. Priced around $12 each, I 10/10 recommend these hair care products!

So the answer to the question: Does Manuka Honey and Yogurt Really Make A Difference In The Health Of Your Hair? Yes, yes it does!

Pro-Trump Christians: Stop, Please Just Stop!

January 7, 2021January 7, 2021 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

Pro-Trump Christians: Stop, please just stop! You, you have allowed this to happen.

You’ve encouraged the raging narcissist in the White House to think he is God’s chosen and in turn an untouchable god.

You praise him for placating you with lies of his “pro-life” stance, while turning a blind eye towards his hatred of “losers”, the poor, women, immigrants, people of color, children in cages, mistreatment of his staff and advisor, and hundreds of thousands of Americans that have lost their lives due to his mismanagement of this virus.

You’ve heard the disgusting things he’s said and you’ve made excuses for him.

You’ve given reasons for his bad behavior and explained “what he really meant”

You’ve chosen to keep your head in the sand while being warned.

Despite your fearless leader calling his supporters and proud boys to action on several occasions, you are somehow shocked by these occurrences, or even worse defending them, or blaming someone else! Shame on you!

Your over-the-top opinions about Trump have divided us at family gatherings and church meetings.

The rest of us wonder what happened to the person we once knew. How has my friend, neighbor, family member, been so blinded by such obvious insanity? How can such an intelligent person be so easily fooled?

You claim self-righteousness and moral high groundedness on certain key issues choosing to be “right” rather than kind, all while ignoring the second greatest commandment to “love thy neighbour as thyself. “(Matthew 22:39)

We have all been watching your twisted version of Christianity. There is no truth and there is no love. Stop pretending there is!

Pro-Trump Christians, please do everyone a favor and STOP! Stop giving moral and spiritual insight because clearly, you don’t have any to offer.

You Won’t Believe What $10 Serum Has Made My Eye Lashes Grow!

January 1, 2021 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood6 Comments

Do you remember that time when we were young, wild, and free to travel around without worry? 🤔

Back during that time, I was in Florida visiting my sister. We were on a walk when I noticed that her previously short eyelashes were now noticeably much longer! It wasn’t a new mascara, it wasn’t an expensive eyelash serum with a questionable ingredient list. She had been using cold pressed organic caster oil! 🙌

Sister Sister | lookingjoligood.blog — My beautiful sister lives in Florida. I love visiting her, we have so much fun when we are together!

Obviously, as soon as I got home I purchased it and started using it immediately!

While I haven’t noticed the drastic results on my lashes that she had, I’ve definitely noticed that my lashes, especially the bottom ones, seem longer and thicker. Let me I tell you though, this oil has made my already thick eyebrows grow like crazy! So crazy that I cannot apply it to my brows every night or they become too thick. When have you ever heard someone complaining about a serum working too well? 😲

In the past I’ve used a lot of eyelash serums with various results. The majority have caused some eye or skin irritation. I have been using Teddie organics caster oil for around 9 months and haven’t had any eye issues.
They even sent along a little bottle with a mascara wand. 10/10 recommend.

You can check out Teddie organic on Amazon by clicking HERE or by visiting their Instagram page by clicking @teddieorganics.

Goodbye Sweet Tessie, Forever In My Heart

August 16, 2020 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood5 Comments

We made the extremely hard decision to say goodbye to Tessie this past week.🌈

The Vet came to the house so we could be with her. Despite knowing it was the right decision and that this day was approaching, we weren’t ready. My heart is broken. I miss her so much it’s hard to breathe. 💔😭💔

My only consolation is that during this time of Covid sheltering in place, we’ve all been together non-stop. I’m so so so thankful for that time with her. No guilty feelings about her being alone for long periods of time while we were at work or school. 💔😭💔

My best friend forever, my loyal side kick. There is a Tessie sized hole in my life. She will be loved forever and missed always. ❤️

Tessie Mae: April 30,2006-August 11, 2020 🌈❤️🐼😭💔🌈

First Impressions of the Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Mascara (Waterproof Very Black)

August 5, 2020August 4, 2020 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood5 Comments

Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara | lookingjoligood.blog — Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Mascara

I went through a phase a few years ago where I was trying a new mascara every other week looking for the perfect one. Instead of perfection, I discovered lots of duds and I figured out exactly what I didn’t like about different mascaras.

Mascara is definitely one of those things that is super personal. Some people like dry mascaras, some like wetter formulas. Some people want volume, others want length. Some people despise clumps, others want to have a spidery lash look. It’s all personal preference. Mascaras that I hate might be your favorite ride or die product.

Personally, I have long, thin, super straight downward-pointing lashes that have a hard time holding a curl. Personally, I want long, curled, thick, upward-turning lashes… but then again, who doesn’t, right? I prefer a natural-looking volumizing mascara with zero clumps!

Then one glorious day, I landed on the Maybelline Colossal Volum’ Express, in the yellow tube, and I heard angels singing and I haven’t looked back since…

Maybelline VOLUM' EXPRESS® THE COLOSSAL WATERPROOF MASCARA IN GLAM BLACK. | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

That is until yesterday when I decided to try out the Falsies waterproof mascara in Very Black also by Maybelline…

It’s not a far cry from my holy grail mascara, in that it’s still by Maybelline and still part of the Volume’ Express line.

The difference is in the wand and brush. The Falsies has a curved brush and a flexible neck on the wand. The application was much easier than I expected. The formula is a bit wetter than I like and the end results after two coats are a bit clumpier than I prefer with less overall lengthening than I am used to with the waterproof Colossal Volum’ Express.

As I have worn it throughout the day I haven’t noticed any flaking or smudging. There has been no irritation to my eyes. My lashes are a little less curled and bit less clumpy as the day has gone on. As with all waterproof mascaras, I used an oil-based cleanser to remove it, it came off without any issues.

Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies Mascara — Luckily for you, you get to see an up-close and personal picture of my eye.

Mascara is one of those things that I refuse to pay a lot of money for. There are so many great products at the drugstore that a high-end mascara is not necessary. Costing just around $7 USD, it’s overall not a bad mascara. I have a feeling that it might be the type of mascara that’s perfect after being used for about two weeks after being opened.

So far not a 10/10, but I’m going to keep using it and see how it goes…

What about you? What is your personal mascara preference?

Have you ever tried this Maybelline The Falsies mascara? Do you like length, volume, or a natural look? Are you someone that prefers a bit of clumping? Do you have a holy grail mascara that checks all the necessary boxes for you? If so, I’d love to hear what it is and what you like about it in the comment section below!

Neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 100

July 28, 2020 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

We’ve been spending a lot of time at the beach this summer. The sunshine and salty air, along with the sound of the waves is so refreshing and relaxing. ⛱️☀️
I have fair skin that will somewhat tan…kinda. 😆 I always burns every time I am out in the sun. 🥵

Sunscreen is absolutely essential for my beach days! Over the years I’ve tried out so many different types and brands. I’ve finally found a winner! 🏆

This neutrogena Beach Defense SPF 100 has worked amazingly! The last three times I have gone to the beach I have had zero burn! 🙌

It has a nice sweet scent that doesn’t give me a headache, which is a major issue I’ve had with other sunscreens.

10/10 would recommend! 👍
