PRODUCT REVIEW: ACNE FREE ADAPALENE GEL BY L’Oréal

PRODUCT REVIEW: ACNE FREE ADAPALENE GEL BY L’Oréal

Breakouts are the ABSOLUTE WORST. I’m always on the hunt for products to clear my skin ASAP when I see a breakout coming on, and I think I’ve found the one!

I’m extra excited about the Acne Free Adapalene Gel as it used to only be available via prescription – but now we can all experience the benefits of clear skin! Below are 5 of my fave things about this product!

  1. Adapalene Gel is a derivative of Vitamin A and Adapalene gel 0.1% causes less irritation to the skin compared to other prescription retinoid treatments
  2. Adapalene Gel is Oil-Free, Fragrance-Free and dermatologist developed
  3. It only needs to be applied once-daily
  4. Adapalene slows down the accumulation of dead skin cells in the pores to prevent clogging and treat acne, blackheads, and whiteheads
  5. SPOILER ALERT: You can currently get the gel at Amazon.com, Walmart, and Walgreens. It will also be available at CVS starting in January 2020!

What’s your favorite skincare product? I’d love to know so I can give it a try!

SWEATER: Madewell Cardiff Striped Crewneck Sweater ($60 on Madwell.com)

For your sake, I narrowed it down to three of my faves this season – but you better believe there’s more where that came from! What trend do you find yourself wearing on REPEAT this Winter?

ALOE MEETS YOGURT

ALOE MEETS YOGURT

One of my goals for 2019, along with I assume many other individuals, is to maintain a healthier lifestyle! More working out, healthier food, the works! One of my favorite breakfast and lunch snacks is yogurt – I was recently introduced to Alove yogurt and I can’t wait to share it with you!

IMG_5918 (1)


WHAT IS IT?

Aloe vera yogurt has been popular in Japan since 1994, and Alove is the first to make it available in the US! Aloe vera yogurt is all about having a tasty (yet healthy) snack – who doesn’t love that?!  Alove yogurt comes in 6 delicious flavors: Original, Strawberry, Blueberry, Peach, Kiwi, and Vanilla.


WHY IS IT GREAT?

Alove is full of all sorts of great things, including being a great source of both calcium and protein (2 things I’m not very good at including in my diet). On the flip side, what’s not in it? Alove is non-GMO and is free of High Fructose Corn Syrup as well as free of artificial flavors. I think a better question might be, why isn’t it great? And the answer to that would be, NOTHING!


WHAT DO I THINK?

If I had to describe Alove in one word: Delicious! I had the chance to test out all 6 flavors and I have to say they’re all great, but my personal fave is strawberry! Not to mention I’m a huge fan of the aloe cubes that provide some extra texture! I personally can’t wait to see if they come out with more flavors I can get my hands on!


WHERE CAN YOU FIND IT?

Lucky for you, Alove can be found in hundreds of stores around the US! Checkout their store locator map to find the nearest location to you!

I don’t know about you, but I’m always a fan of healthy food that TASTES GOOD! Makes it just a little bit easier to reach our health goals, am I right? Head on over to Instagram and give Alove a follow! Have you tried Alove Yogurt? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

LEATHER LOVIN’

LEATHER LOVIN’

2 Words: Leather Jackets. Seriously though, I think my life goal is to own one in EVERY COLOR. Today I’m sharing with you three of my current faves from my local boutique, Trendy Fox!


#1:BLACK HOLY BIKER JACKET BY LAMARQUE

No wardrobe is complete without a staple black leather jacket, and this may be the most comfortable one I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing. The best part? It comes with a removable hood! What more could a girl ask for?! Side note – if you’ve never worn lamb leather, it’s absolute heaven.

#2: BLUE HOLY BIKER JACKET BY LAMARQUE

Same jacket, different color, all the awesomeness. I’m a huge fan of adding color into my wardrobe, and I can’t get over this beautiful blue leather jacket! I can’t be the only one who buys my favorite items in multiple colors, right? Also, I repeat, REMOVABLE HOOD!

Jacket 6


#3: DONNA FLORAL JACKET BY LAMARQUE

Classic with a twist – that’s exactly what this gorgeous embroidered leather jacket brings to the table! The bright pop of red is just what you need to take your outfit to the next level. Side note – you better hurry because this jacket is currently on sale and won’t last long!

Jacket 4


 


I have my fair share of leather jackets hanging in my closet, but these three are just what I need to continue my dreams of owning one in every color of the rainbow. A classic, a bold, and a detailed masterpiece. Which one is your favorite?!

Don’t forget to checkout Trendy Fox Boutique in Bellevue if you’re local, or head on over to their website to shop online!
