BB And CC Creams Are Everywhere
It's become my go to lip and cheek color. It's perfect for the spring. The air repair is a clear salve and I was looking forward to use this because my hands have been extremely dry. I put a coat of it on my hands and it looked like a coat of vaseline, but about 30 minutes later my hands were still dry. I did find a great use for it, it's perfect for my cuticles.
I slathered them around each of my nails and I really liked the way the felt and looked. BB and CC creams are everywhere. In this month's Birchbox I received two BB creams, one for my face and one for my body. Coola is sunscreen bb cream with a matte tint. I like that this has SPF 30 in it, as I wear sunscreen every day.
I also like that this is natural. It's creamy and light. I applied it all over my face and I thought it was going to look yellow on my face, as it looks yellow when it comes out of the bottle. It actually has a slight white tint when it was applied to my face.
My face was very soft after applying it, but after I applied my makeup over it it felt like the sunscreen was coming off in pieces. Maybe I should have left it on longer before I applied my makeup. Finally, the Beauty Protector Leave-in Conditioner is a spray leave-in conditioner, that is supposed to be a detangler, thermal protector, UV protector, seals the hair cuticles, adds shine, locks in color, and smoothes hair all in one.
I was a little hesitant at first, because I have another leave-in conditioner that I love and have been using for years. When I first tried to spray it nothing came out. I opened it and saw that the product is pretty thick, like cream. Once I opened it and closed it, I was able to spray it. I first sprayed this one in my wet hair and left it wet to dry naturally and my hair was naturally curly and not frizzy when I woke up.
I tried it again and sprayed all over my wet hair, especially my ends. I brushed right through my wet hair with ease. I then used it in combination with my other favorite hair product, Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Relaxing Balm, and I blow dried my hair and the results were very smooth and the split ends I have were so much smoother. My hair felt very soft. I also liked that it has a thermal protector built-in so my hair is protected from heat damage from my blow dryer, hair straightener, and hair curlers.
If you don’t have a yogurt maker, there is no need to worry. Now that I have an oven I usually pre-heat it and then turn it off. The temperature therein is enough to incubate my yogurt for at least 2 hours if I don’t keep opening it. Every two hours I turn the oven on for 5 minutes and turn it off again.
Before I bought the oven, I would place my yogurt pot in a bowl of hot water and replace the water every two hours. Some people also use a rice cooker and set it on warm or place the pot in a warm car or sunny window. However, it’s important to ensure the temperature of the yogurt remains below 120 F(48.9C) and above 90 F(32.2C). The incubation period should be at least 4 hours but the longer the better. Let the yogurt sit undisturbed for four good hours and check the consistency after that.
Remove the yogurt from the incubator after your preferred time and let it cool. Whisk it thoroughly and transfer the contents to a plastic container. Cover the container and refrigerate immediately to ensure fermentation stops. The yogurt should stay in the fridge for at least six hours before use. Always keep the yogurt covered and eat it within a week or two.
