Deep Cleansing System: Slender Facial Cleanser by DANIELLE Review!

It's been such a long time since I did a review and I thought what better way to slowly transition into being active again! Today's review is going to be about the beauty tool: Slender Facial Cleanser by DANIELLE!


This tool has been part of my daily face care routine lately because I've felt I just needed a deeper clean for my face. I purchased this cleansing tool at a local Winners(similar to Ross) for the price of $10! Which is really great because most cleansing tools retail for about $20 and up. Since I have combination type skin my face will vary from oily to dry and recently it's been oily not going to lie! This product here helps a ton when getting rid of those oily and that layer of "grease" that you accumulate on your face but can never see it.


The package is very simplistic which I absolutely adore. If anyone really knows me I'm not too big on fancy and extravagant things. Ninety percent of my outfits are black on black. Anyways the fact that this product even comes with its own stand is super useful because the cleanser doesn't have to be put on the counter which if it does can pick up unwanted bacteria and debris.


The product is wet at the moment in all my pictures except the first one because I had just finished using it if anyone is wondering why the bristles are like that. Speaking of the bristles they are super soft and compact which allows the tool to hold onto the cleanser of your choice! However I do find that I'm digging the tool into a bar of soap if I'm not using my green tea cleanser which is kind of weird but not that bothersome.


This is what I mean by my last sentence! I use a bar of soap from the Body Shop when I don't want to use my green tea cleanser. You can use any cleanser on the Slender Facial Beauty tool just as long as you can rinse it out! 


I wasn't going to post this photo but I wanted you guys to see how well it works! The tool is so easy to use and the shape provides a really good grip. The cleansing tool has a button and it runs on triple A batteries. Has only a one speed option which in my opinion is good because it's safe to clean  your face and use on a daily basis! Not to rough and doesn't strip down the essential nutrients for your face. The tool just vibrates against the skin to provide a deeper cleaning feel.

I include this tool in my daily and nightly face care routine. It is so easy to use because of its shape and it's one button on and off. The storage is very neat and tidy it isn't too chunky or big so doesn't take that much space on your bathroom counter. 

Overall a good product however I couldn't find online where I can refill the head but usually with beauty tools like this you should replace it every 3-4 months with cleaning the actual tool on a regular basis to get rid of bacteria build up!

You can purchase yours here or  go to your nearby Winners or Ross!

Thanks for reading this post and stay tuned for the next review!

Take care beauties~

Hike-a-Rike

Hello! I'm back yet again from hiatus. I don't think I should call it that anymore because to be on a hiatus I would had to be posting on a regular basis. I guess for a lack of a better word. Anyways there have been pictures that I've been wanting to post on my blog but life always got in the way and time was never on my side. Luckily I managed to stop being lazy and finally get around to blog!

My last post about what was going on in my life was a recap of July and I'm here to do a recap on what I did in August! A lot of things went down in August and I'm excited to blog and post pictures about it!

In the beginning of August one of my best friends: Vanessa and I went on the Lynn Canyon Hike!
Her and I have always been talking about going on a hike

We wanted to start off on something easy because this was my first hike since grade 10.


When we went there weren't as much people as we expected which was nice
Wasn't too crowded and we weren't bothered by anyone

It was such a nice gorgeous day when we went, wasn't as hot!


Overall the hiking experience was amazing and I couldn't get enough of the thrill so of course I had to go hiking again! This time around I went with my lovely coworker Carol!
This hike is called Deep Cove

It is very structured and such an easy hike
Somehow Carol and I were leading a group of people and we ended up getting lost.

But somehow we made it to the top!


The view was spectacular and even though it was such a hot day 
being near the water made a nice breeze

Carol the model

I really like this picture even though my back isn't very flattering

I'm so blessed to live in a beautiful country!



Pretty much all of August I was just being an outdoor junkie which was very different for me because last summer all I did was stay cooped up in my house other than my trip to New York. I found myself doing a lot of spontaneous outings with my friends which was nice!

This night for example was spontaneous.
Most of us were free and we were planning to go to a bar to drink.
However we decided to opt out and just play pool and darts at this arcade in Downtown

After that we decided to walk around and do a mini photo shoot



After this we ended up sitting at a picnic table playing cards and just having a good time.

The last week of August I went camping and before we actually went Austin and I went to do grocery shopping for the trip. Before we did our errands we tried this pizza joint that Austin found.
Brooklyn Pizza!
Such a cute and flashy design

I believe I got the margarita pizza



Alright I'm going to end this post right here because the next couple of activities I did has a lot of pictures and I don't want this post to be too long!
See you next time lovelies!

Collective Haul

This post will be about why my wallet has been crying for the past couple months! I don't really know when I purchased these items all I know it has been monthly purchase so I thought why not just combine them. Enough with the introductory and let's see some purchases!

Green Tea and Pink Lemonade Mask - Winners
During the time I bought these I felt my face needed some treatment.
Green Tea to detox and get rid of red marks.
Pink Lemonade to refresh and get rid of dark marks.
TIPS: put these in the fridge for an extra cooling effect!

Flat Top Brush - Winners
The brush was cute and I loved how flat it was!
Great for foundation use and blending!

2017 Planner - Chapters
I want to be organize for the upcoming year especially if I'm going to Nursing school.
Bought this cute with a little attitude planner!
It's actually so adorable to write in and I get excited when I use it.
So far I've been good at it!

Milwaukee Tape Measure Key Chain 
My work was selling these adorable tape measure key chain.
A coworker bought it for me because I wouldn't stop talking about it.
Thanks Celine :')!

Watermelon Bath Sponge - XXI
Damn those bins near the cash point. 
I always end up adding something to my purchase whenever I'm at XXI.
Can't help myself they always display the cutest merchandise near the cash point!

Nike Lanyard
Jen got this for me when they were at the States.
It was about time I changed my lanyard because my lanyard was Heineken!
Thanks Jen!

Chameleon Chrome x Grid Print Make Up Pouch - XXI

I had to purchase these make up bags!
They were such great add ons and the grid print has so much space!

NYX - SMLC 23: Berlin

Urban Decay - Naked Skin Foundation in 6.0
I went to Sephora in need of a new foundation because my face got a little dark.
The lady skin matched me for this shade.
But Jen and my cousin thinks its too dark, I knew I should've said something.
Nevertheless I love this foundation its light weight and doesn't feel cakey!

Urban Decay Naked Powder - Medium

Champagne Pop - Becca
This highlighter is the bomb dot com.
My mum got it for me when she was in the states.
I've used this many times and the highlight would stay in place.
The best!

GlowKit Sun Dipped - Anastasia 
My mum then purchased this for me which I love her for.
Apparently it was the last one there so it was meant to be~
Haven't used it personally yet but when I do I shall swatch!

Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier
I CAVED!
After my cousin did my makeup and she baked my face for the very first time 
I just had to get my hands on one for myself,
So far its lived up to its expectations and I wasn't properly using it.

Natural Falsies - Ardells
I've been trying my hardest to get into false eyelashes.
Even though I don't need it I love how it makes my eyes pop!

Green Bomber Jacket - Garage
Another item that I caved in.
A lot of people have been rocking this type of jacket.
I wasn't really into it until I tried it on at Garage.
Now its pretty much my go to jacket.

Windbreaker - Garage
I am in love with this windbreaker.
The colour and fit is everything I was looking for.
The fact that its a pullover makes it better.
There's just something about this style that I couldn't walk away from.
Makes a great hiking outer wear!

Off the Shoulder One Piece - H&M
I wasn't really a fan of these one piece style until yet again I tried it on,
This top is so basic yet cute at the same time.
Pair it with jeans for a casual look or a skirt to look cute/classy.

Jersey Halter Top - XXI
I've been into this type of style for tops.
The number and colour worked for me so why not... Right?

Coloroid Skirt - XXI
Do I even have to explain myself why I bought this?

Charmed Choker - Aldo
Ah yes the chokers are back in style!
This one had  my eyes when I walked into Aldo!
Cute and simplistic is all we need.

Wrap Up Choker - Aldo
Another famous choker since the 90's one.
It seems silly to have a piece of string on your neck till you actually 
put it on and see how cute you are.
That just goes to show the knock it till you try it!

That's pretty much my whole haul! I am probably forgetting a bunch of things but I'll just add it to the next haul because let's be real it's me. There's always a next haul, I should probably save up but it's so hard when you see something cute!
Thanks for reading and p.s this is not a bragging post!
