Aloe Vera Water Detox Review

Hey guys!

I hope you all have a Happy 4th! 
I wanted to do a health related post because I haven't done one in a while ;)

I'm about to talk about something that tastes great, supports immune system, aids in digestion and weight loss, lowers cholesterol, detoxes, reduces inflammation, and much more. 
This stuff is awesome. 
Not all benefits have been scientifically proven. If you're concerned about drinking aloe vera water do your research and talk to your doctor :)

For me, I reach for this when I am feeling gross, like I need to remove some toxins from my body, when in feeling bloated or.. yes.. My digestive system isn't working as it should. 
Let's just say you want to be near a bathroom when drinking this stuff.
It can help with constipation, hydration, vitamin and mineral intake, healthy gums, healthy skin, and hair growth as well. 
Information from:  http://skinnywithfiber.org/14-really-important-health-benefits-of-aloe-vera-juice/
http://alodrink.com/product-lines/original/exposed
This particular brand is available on the Boxed website.

You get a pack of 12 drinks for $15.99. They are sweetened with honey, pure cane sugar and natural grape flavor. They contain aloe vera pulp, and taste really good.

The pulp can be hard to get by at first because it's like drinking slimy chunks.. But once I got used to them I would just chew them because they really don't taste bad.

I highly recommend this for all of you who want to just try something new and good for you. This is especially good for those of us with digestive issues like me!

Thanks for stopping by :) Give this a try and let me know what you think!

Batalash x SauceBox Palette Review & Swatches

Hey beauties
This week I received my Batalash x SauceBox eyeshadow palette after pre-ordering. FINALLY!
I've been dying to get this in the mail. I am a huge fan of the Batalash girls. Ssssamanthaa is my new bff, basically.

It was love at first sight.
Here it is in all its glory. Isn't the packaging so pretty?
I can't wait to create more looks with this!
This palette comes with 8 huge pans of gorgeous color at a cost of $60.00
The top four shades are all matte/neutral shades:

The bottom four shades are all shimmer/pops of color:
All of the colors are very pigmented, some more than others.
PROS:
Pigmentation 
Packaging is sturdy/travel friendly and gorgeous 
Product size/amount 
Color selection 
Removable pans 
Cost 
Easy to blend 
Supporting a bad A group of girls

CONS: 
Shipping delays 
Pans do not have their names on the bottom
Limited edition

Here is a look I created using the palette inspired by Ssssamanthaa :) I used Vanilla, Winter Brown, Cinnamon, and Nova. 
I also used NYX Retractable Liner in Gypsy Blue and Anastasia Beverly Hills Pink Champagne Eyeshadow. Lashes are Velour Lashes "It's Sho Fluffly."
Here is another look I created using Vanilla, Winter Brown, Cinnamon, Enigma, and Lace Noir.

Overall, I am so impressed with this palette. I would definitely purchase from SauceBox Cosmetics again, despite the shipping delays. They are still a small business and growing fast.
