A Swipe a Day Keeps the Maskne Away : Biore Charcoal Cleansing Micellar Water

January 29, 2021January 24, 2021 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

During this time of mask wearing, keeping my skin clean and clear is harder and more important than ever! 😷

laura mask | lookingjoligood.blog — Wearing a mask is such an important preventive measure!

About five months ago, I started using this charcoal cleansing micellar water by Biore. Since consistently using this cleansing water, for the most part, I have been breakout free! It’s amazing what this cleansing water removes from my skin even after I double cleanse! 😝 I use it by wetting a cotton pad and wipe all over my face without the need for harsh rubbing, avoiding my eye area, until my skin is completely clean. There is no need to rinse it off. Personally, I use it in the evening after cleansing my face.

It has a pleasant scent that’s not too overwhelming. The full 10 oz size costs around $7 USD and I get it at Walmart. The mini 2.5 fl oz version can usually be found in the travel sized section, and it costs around $3 USD.

Some of my favorite people in the world are nurses, and they’re working so so hard, hospitals are full and they are really tired! 👩‍⚕️🏥. Please stay home when possible, wash your hands thoroughly, and stay socially distant and wear a mask when out in public! We can get through this pandemic faster by working together!

The $13 Face Cream That Will Change Your Life

January 22, 2021March 14, 2021 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood2 Comments

If you and I have ever discussed skin care, more than likely I have recommended the Cerave moisturizing cream to you.
I have repurchased this cream over and over again, I cannot live without it! While I always use it on my face every night and any day that I’m not wearing makeup, it’s also great as an all over the body moisturizer for the dry winter months. A little bit goes a long way and it is so comforting to the skin while it makes the skin so soft.

It is available with or without the pump. It costs around $16 with the pump and about $13 without it. In my personal opinion the pump is worth every penny! I purchased the moisturizing cream with the pump once, and just replace the new tub’s cap with the old pump every time I purchase a new tub.

Cerave Moisturizing Cream | lookingjoligood.blog — The life-changing moisturizing cream that only costs $13

There are almost always coupons in the mailer advertisements. I actually got a $4 off coupon sent to me just the other day. If you never get anything else that I recommend, you’ve got to get this Cerave moisturizing cream. You’ll be glad you did!

Another Cerave product that I highly recommend is the Cerave SPF 30 Facial Moisturizing Lotion.

Here is how Cerave boasts about it’s Moisturizing Cream:

💙 Developed with dermatologists
💙 Contains hyaluronic acid and three essential ceramides, which restore the skin barrier to lock in moisture and seal out impurities
💙 Provides 24-hour hydration
💙 Absorbs quickly for softened skin without a greasy or sticky feel
💙 Suitable for both the face and body
💙 Accepted by the @nationaleczema Association“

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!

Shea moisture kids detangler | lookingjoligood.blog — Shea moisture kids detangler

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!

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.

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! 👍
