Outspoken by Fergie & Avon

She has recently teamed up with Avon to create a fragrance that she feels represents her and her unique personality and fierce style. I am very excited about Fergie's new fragrance Outspoken.




Outspoken is a unique and bold blend of berry, tuberose, and of course black leather to give it that Fergie edge. It's feminine and sexy without being too overpowering.



The packaging is so pretty and just as bold as Fergie herself. It will be out in September and I am very interested to see how people like it. Contact your local Avon Representative or go to youravon.com for more information and to get your own bottle of Outspoken.

Cons
No pump, so it's kind of hard to get out
Not much of color selection
A little heavy but nothing I can't deal with

EASY TIP

So an easy at home way to get rid of your bad spray tan orange palms requires only the following:

-An exfoliator (use sugar or salt you don't need anything fancy from the store if you don't have it)

-Whitening toothpaste (yes, really)

All you need to do is get your hands damp and then scrub the two together in your hands. This is such a clever trick that I had never thought or heard of before. I felt it needed to be shared. I did try it myself and I did have a noticeable difference. Try it out for yourself, you have nothing to lose, let me know how it worked out.

Victoria Secret Haul

So last week me and my boyfriend went to the mall and we had stopped into Victoria's Secret during their Semi Annual Sale. I got such good deals on a few of the products at the store.
First I picked up a really really cute bra which is very similar to one that I own which is getting close to throwing out. I was able to get this bra for only $15.99! It was like a dream come true.

Second area I headed for was their beauty and fragrance area.


This lip gloss is my new favorite. Not only does it smell amazing but I love the color and the packaging. The color is Savage, and originally it was $10. I paid $2.50!!



I've had my eye on this for quite some time now and I decided to just go for it. I don't think it was on sale, it was $20. Honestly I fell in love with the packaging. But I did also end up really liking the smell and the shimmer it gives to your skin. It's such an awesome product for summer.


I also grabbed these two hair care products. They are from the So Sexy hair care line. First is the So Sexy Root-Lift Volumizing Spray and second is the So Sexy Supersmooth Straightening Balm. I did try these out the next morning and I was happy with the results. My hair was very soft and shiny. The two had very a very nice clean smell to them as well. They were both $13 each originally but I was able to pay only $6.50 for. That's a two for the price of one.


I spent a total of $54.35,I was very very happy with my shopping experience and I'm interested to go back and find out how long the sale is lasting for because I would love to go back and get more.

Clear Skin

So I have not been blessed with clear skin and I break out alot on my face. There's almost no controlling it, it's in my genes. I break out the most on my chin and I have small pimples on my nose where it's also really red. I know this is pretty gross but I'm on a mission to battle my problem areas. So here's what I have been doing.

First of all, if I'm not out or with anyone where I don't feel completely comfortable around them, then there is no make up on my face. I know that everyone says this kind of thing all the time, but I have just started doing it for this week and I have seen such a difference.

Second, I have been using this mask I got from Target. It is the Boots Botanics Conditioning Clay Mask. On Target's website it's $8.Mine smells kind of weird, but I don't know if they all do I think mine must have gone bad, but I use it anyways haha. It's the classic green face mask, which I love. Anyways I just put in on my face and let it dry for about 10-15 mins. The mask is a clay mask that sucks all the dirt and everything right out of your skin. After it washes off your skin is SO smooth. It's help clear up my skin and I love it.


Also I can not stress how important a toner is. I used to not use one because I never realized how big of a difference it makes. After you wash your face, you use the toner and it takes everything off that your cleanser missed. I am sometimes shocked how much is still on my face. I use a clinque toner myself.

Also make sure you're hydrated. I used to think drying out my face was a good idea because it would help clear up my skin. I was so wrong, it breaks your face out more. It's great to exfoliate off the dry skin too. I don't do it everyday, but every other day is working well for me.

So stay clean when possible, mask it up, TONERS!, and keep it soft and smooth.
It's important to find what works for you, so it's okay to switch things up. Just remember that alot of the time, you're not going see results the next day and good things sometimes take time.


Good Luck everyone! Let me know about your tips and what advice you have to share with others.
