Beauty Products I have Ditched through the Years

-

I have tried too many beauty products through the years. More than I would like to admit and the list includes some embarrassing brands. But like with everyone else there has been growth. As I have gotten older and my knowledge of skincare and makeup has grown, the products that make the cut for everyday use are slim. Let’s see what beauty products I have tried through the years and why they didn’t make the cut. 



Let's start with the makeup products! 


Elf Eyeshadows - pigment was nonexistent and product fallout was awful. 

Elf Foundation - never lasted, left skin feeling dry, and had an oily texture/look. 

Elf Eyeliner - the liquid pen would dry out after one use, going on really light gray, and was not easy to work with. 

Elf Mascara - left eyes feeling heavy, and never actually came off when using makeup remover

Elf Lipstick - never lasted longer than five minutes and left lips dry and cracked. 

Mary Kay Eyeshadows - pigment was pretty good but the fallout was awful. 

Mary Kay Foundation Primer - the worst foundation primer I have ever used, claimed it was oil-free but I swear that’s a lie. The texture of the product also was a big no for me. 

Mary Kay Lipstick and Gloss - never lasted longer than five minutes, but had great pigmentation and never left lips dry or cracked. 

Anything Ultra Generic Brand - all I can say was cheap! No pigmentation, not easy to work with, and just overall horrible. The packaging was always cool though, I will give it that. 


Now for the extensive list of skincare products! 


Clean and Clear Products - horrible brand of products to use. 

St. Ives Products - another horrible brand of products to use. 

Cetaphil Products - left my skin soooo dry! 

Biore Products - horrible for your pores.

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes - burned my eyes so much and left skin red after each use. 

Elf Skincare Products - never saw a difference.

Ponds Products - left skin feeling oily. 

Mary Kay ClearProof Products - saw a difference in the first four weeks but after that, it didn’t help at all. 

Any Paper Mask - never say a difference in continuous use.

Have a great rest of your week babes! Crush it!

What is a Career in Sports Administration

The main question you get asked after you graduate high school or even get through those first couple years of college is, “what are your plans for the future?” I absolutely hated answering this question literally once a day for about four years, I’m sure I’m not alone either. Why I didn’t like answering wasn’t because I didn’t know what I wanted my career to be, I knew exactly what I wanted to do as a career. Marketing and Creative Communications of Collegiate Athletics. The look of confusion on family and friends' faces when I said that prompted their next question, “what’s that or what can you do with that?” My answer: A game doesn’t just magically appear and run just because of the coaches or athletes. There is so much work that the typical sports fan has NO IDEA about!  There are many departments when it comes to a breakdown of an athletic office at the collegiate level besides the athletes and the coaching staff. Let me break it down for you.  At the top you have the Ath...

Astoria Activewear Review

Happy Friday babes! It’s product review time. Leggings are life, am I right? I am known to be the pickiest about the leggings that I keep in my closet. I have been seeing Astoria leggings all over social media lately. Why not give them a try? I bought three different styles that were popular with others. Let’s see what I thought of each one.  Astoria LUXE METALLIC Series Legging - Ivory - Size Medium   These are said to be THE workout legging from Astoria. The website describes them as, “Our custom blend LUXE fabric was used to create an unforgettably buttery soft fit designed to move however you do. A high waist band was added for additional support while a subtle scrunch bum detail further accentuates your curves”.  Sizing - I personally would size up.  Fit Design - The waistband is not your typical high waist but that could have been because of the size I chose. The fit was perfect. Nice balance between sculpting and comfort. The scrunch bum detail is just enoug...

Letter to Teenage Self

Senior High School Jessi,  I know you think it’s the end of the world right now. But it gets better, you are going to do such amazing things, make new memories, and new friends. You will have an undefeated senior year competing with an amazing team, graduate high school, start college, find your career passion, join a college dance team, join a sorority, find your sisters, graduate college in the middle of a pandemic, move to a new state, start graduate school, get your dream internship, and found the love you have always dreamed about.  But it won’t always be happy. You will go through trials, some being the worst you have ever been through. This time of feeling like no one is your friend at school and your best friend thinking you're invisible will seem like nothing compared to the summer of 2019. But you will get through it. I promise it will just take time. During that time you will find such joy and happiness in a little puppy, your baby girl, Pumpkin. You will learn who ...
