Milk Makeup Cooling Water, Hangover Hack?

Image
The weekend is here Fresh K peeps! I checked out the Milk Makeup Cooling Water balm and wanted to share my thoughts. Milk Makeup is a brand that has become popular in recent years. This is partly because it was beauty brand that incorporated CBD (cannabis oil) into its products with their KUSH line. Aaand for you fellow Hip-Hop folks, they had a collab with Wu-Tang Clan . I mean, the brand is awesomely innovative! The Cooling Water balm is supposed to be awesome for giving your eyes a de-puffing pick me up. The ingredients include caffeine and sea water which helps to calm the skin. This balm can be a hack for hangovers and sleepless nights as the ingredient combo works great to de puff the skin and hydrate. I actually like it as a great prep for makeup, I did notice that my makeup went on smoother whenever I used the balm, and dear I say, stayed put also. Another plus is the packaging which is a twist up, this makes for great hands free application which is awesome! Did I mention tha...

Fresh K Book Club - The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck

Hi there peeps! This week I thought I'd share a book I read and share my thoughts on it. This is a pretty popular book and many folks have their own opinion on it. So, let's jump in! The book I will be reviewing is The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck . I like to sit with a good read every now and then. I kept hearing about this book and the title alone I had high hopes. I'm not in the self help book rave that's been going on over the years. But, I have read some that were actually good. So, why did you read this book, K? I thought this would have been a somewhat thought provoking read. When I started reading I can see how this book will hit people the wrong way. The tone is not one that coddles you or pacifies the bad news which is the schtick of the book. I found the 'realistic' tone of the book interesting, at first. I know he was using that tone as a way to stand out from other books of this nature. But, I'd say about half way in the tone grew very pret...

Glam Glow Mask! The Gravity Mud Experience

   Happy Day Fresh Peeps! I checked out the highly talked about GLAM GLOW Gravity MUD Mask . This mask retails for US$59 for the 1.7 oz (I know, I know, don't worry, you get an application brush which squares off the price tag) or 3.4oz for US$82. This is the mask that when applied turns silver, it supposed to be really cool! Upon opening what I really loved about the mask is the fragrance. GLAM GLOW claims it smells like marshmallows,  I found it smelled like I was spreading pina coladas on my face as a result of the smell (I may have applied more than the recommended as a result ). The mask did feel like if I was applying melted marshmallows to my face though, the texture was sticky and pretty cool! I removed the mask when it was ready and I must say! The peeling process was fun! My face felt firm and tight but a tad dry, this could be due to one of the key ingredients being Polyvinyl Alcohol, Alcohol Denat. High alcohol can be a bit irritating to the skin! But after ap...
