How to track items from Korea

If you're like me, you want to know where your package is and when in the world it will arrive. WHAT TAKES A PACKAGE SO LONG TO ARRIVE? WE LIVE IN THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY , PEOPLE. I JUST WANT MY CUTE SKINCARE PRODUCTS TO COME ALREADY!

Sorry about that..

If you pay to have EMS tracking, most sites give you a tracking number and tell you to go to Korea post's tracking site. GASP. There is a problem! What happens after it leaves Korea? Plus, the site uses Korean and the only words I recognize are Incheon and U.S.A.

Solution! Hop onto this cool site called After ship . It gives step by step descriptions for where the item is, and the best thing is, I CAN READ IT!  you can even get email notifications each time it is updated! WOO HOOO.

Go forth, my veggie dumplings.
Stalk your packages♥

REVIEW: Burt's Bees Super Shiny shampoo and conditioner

Let's get straight to the facts!

 I've been using this for about two months, I bought this at my local CVS for about $9. It is made out of 99.7% natural products and doesn't contain sulfate. It is not that much product for nine bucks for each bottle. The bottle has a matte finish so the paper won't peel off while you're using it in the shower.

 This is a great natural alternative to other shampoos! The smell is amazing and it does make your hair super shiny. On the hand, this shampoo has made my hair feel dry, dull, and caused my scalp to itch. I noticed it also made my hair pin straight and seemed to be weighing down my hair. I have very sensitive skin, so it might be different for you.   

With my hours of research online, I found that people felt their hair was greasy and didn't feel/look clean. I felt my hair did look clean and shiny, but after one day of no wash it will look like you have not showered for a week. I usually wash my hair once every other day so I don't damage my hair. 

For this product I give it a 7/10 I don't quite hate it or love it. Honestly, I don't think I will be purchasing this again. I have tried the other shampoo in this line, the Voluminous Pomegranate, but that one is much better for some reason.

The Conditioner does smell great and really makes my hair soft but it is nothing special to me. Nothing to report on the conditioner.

EDIT: It has been about a a few months after I finished this whole bottle and I have to say.. I regret trying to use the whole bottle. It really killed my hair. I had tons of split ends and my hair color looked so dull. At one point skin around my neck had started getting bumps , turns out I was allergic to the shampoo. 

I'm going back to using regular head and shoulders shampoo and my hair has made a recovery ,but it would be better if I hadn't stumbled on this product.

REVIEW: Freeman clay masks

As you can see I am madly in love with this product. These were priced at $4 each at my local CVS and I had to get them all! 

How to use the mask:  Spread the mask onto your bare face, make sure your face is make up free, and then wait for it to dry. I usually wait about 10-15 minutes. Your face with feel stiff , that is when you should wash it off. Your face will feel so smooth and refreshed afterwards!

Anti-stress dead minerals mask: Score (10/10) This is my favorite out of the three. It gives your face a fun blue tint and it has a very soothing smell. I would describe it as lavender? Or if you have ever smelt the baby shampoo from Johnson & Johnson, that it the exact smell. It does exactly what it says, relieves you of stress. Perfect for midterm/ finals week or that girls night in.

Clarifying Acai clay mask: Score (7/10) This is my second favorite, it smells like flowers and all things pretty. The reason why this is my second favorite is because of the smell. It smells okay, but I'm not a fan of floral smells. The Acai and the Dead Mineral mask both have the same effect,but the smell is the only distinction. 

Oatmeal and Avocado clay mask: Score (0/10) I have very sensitive skin and for some reason the other clay masks have caused me no problems, but this one irritated my skin very badly. I had pimples forming and my skin was glowing.. red. 

Overall all these masks did help my skin feel smoother, but it also dried my skin too. I didn't see any improvement in my pores, but I would definitely purchase the Dead Minerals mask again,I just love the color and the smell! The other ones, well, I'm not quite sure I love them enough to even spend four dollars on them.

REVIEW: Solotica Natural Quartzo Contacts

I ordered my contacts from  This site and it came in four business days and I got them for $120 with express shipping. I love the color it is a grey/green/blue color. It is definitely really natural looking and I've had a lot of compliments on them. I actually got asked if it was my real eye color. My reaction..

LOL.

I had no problems putting them on or taking them off. The only problem with these contacts was that one was soft and the other was hard. I didn't know if anyone else had this problem, but I'm going to complain about it. 

PICTURE TIME.
