The Juicy Beauty Word

Hi everyone!  I have been slacking off in the blog department lately. Sorry about that. I have been distracted building a new cutting flower garden. It is a big project and is coming along nicely except for battling the bugs and critters! I am posting my progress along with gardening tips on youtube if you would like to follow along. I call the garden Foxes Run Garden.  That being said, I would now like to show you the Zoya Pink Palette for Summer 2022 as well as the Hello Summer Curated Collection. This Pink Palette collection has been going swimmingly well at the salon since pink is so great for summer. I'm a pink lover myself, especially for summer! There are cool creamy pinks and warm creamy pinks plus one iridescent glitter pink in this collection of 6 colors. I have included a swatch comparison in later this post. I think it really helps you see how the colors look. This posts contains Amazon links to help you find great cruelty free beauty products. I earn from qua...

Exfoliation. It's a big deal in skin care. Exfoliation removes dead skin which makes our skin look younger, helps prevent clogged pores and promotes collagen production. There is an enormous emphasis on exfoliation in the skin care industry right now. Maybe too much emphasis.  Can exfoliation be over done? It can indeed be over done.

Skin Care Products to heal Over Exfoliated Dehydrated Skin Use No Exfoliation Products, at All!   There are a lot of exfoliating products and exfoliating ingredients hidden in skin care and makeup products.

Spring has indeed sprung and so has the new spring polish collection from Zoya. It is the Zoya Abundance Spring 2022. It is cool. It is fresh. It is spring! There 6 colors in the Abundance Collection, 5 creams and 1 glitter.  For my swatches, I applied Zoya Naked Manicure Base, 2 to 4 coats of polish depending on the color and topped them all off with Zoya Ultra Glossy Seal. Let's get them on!!! The Zoya Abundance Spring 2022 Collection Zoya Tyler Zoya Tyler is a deep indigo blue cream with a fabulous glossy mirror like finish. Just one coat provided beautiful smooth coverage. Apply two coats to make it perfect. Love it! 🌸 Zoya Ellis Zoya Ellis is a gorgeous berry cerise cream. It goes on smooth and easy with opaque coverage in two coats. I love this one too. I can't wait to get it on my toes! 🌸 Zoya Kit Zoya Kit is a pretty cool dusty rose cream. I found that I needed 3 coats to get the most opaque finish. I also had the most trouble photographing this color for some reason....
