This Recruit is reporting for duty again.

Hello My Lovelies.  I do hope February is treating you well. Yesterday, my Beauty Army kit arrived. It has been a while for me personally. I have put myself on a budget and sometimes even spending $12 a month was a difference between makeup or lunch ( you know food won out) . But now that I have paid off a few things and my budget has opened up, this recruit is back !!!!

What better time to come back than during the month of LOVE!!!

 I chose Ineke Hothouse Flower Perfume . Beautiful scent of Gardenia and with the my new found knowledge of perfumes, it works well with my body chemistry. Happy Girl. :)

Next up: Sweet Pea Shea Enriched Shower Gel. Smells amazing and I look forward to trying it out. I have been a bit spoiled by working at work Lush Cosmetics. I do already have my shower gel favorites but hey I am always willing to try something new.

Lash Card: Time to bat my baby browns and make them pop. I am still wrapping my head around a need for a lash card considering how many mascaras out there now are clump free and such but I am slowly learning in beauty, there is a need for everything. I

Whip Hand Cosmetics is one of my favorite cosmetics brands. I am so happy I have the opportunity to try the loose pigment eye shadow. The color is gorgeous bronze and it goes on so smoothly. BONUS: They don't test on animals either. Speaks to my  heart <3

Last but certainly not least Olive bar natural beauty bar. This bar smells amazing and reminds of work with the beautiful bland of lavender, lemon and lemongrass. YUMMYNESS ABOUNDS!!!

Everything smells amazing and I am happy girl. For all my new beauties out there, if you want to become a new recruit in the Beauty Army Family, Click on this link.

Have a great day my Beauties!!

Be Gorgeous. Be Wonderful. Be You. 

I Heart my Indie Lee Body Scrub

Hello My BA Beauties. Welcome to another installment of my P.O.V.  Today, I am going to talk about my love for my Indie Lee Body Scrub.

The Body Scrub.. as if you can't read it :)

I was introduced to the Indie Lee body scrub from my Beauty army kit for February.  Now, I love baths. (weird right :) but when I saw this as one of my monthly choices, I had to try it. I have tried many body scrubs through out my 35 year lifetime but Ms. Indie Lee's is by far one of the better ones. Just to give you all a little background on Indie Lee. She is a brain surgery survivor who on Earth 2009 was given a second chance at life. When she found out the environmental  toxins were the cause of her tumor, she began her quest to create the finest beauty products using nothing but natural ingredients.

Once I got this in my hands, I proceeded to take my bath. Barring any bad visuals from that statement, when I used my scrub gloves with the scrub, it was AAAAAMMMMMAAAAZZZZIIIIINNNNNGGG!!!! As most of you maybe aware, some scrubs may feel a little to rough on your skin, but not with on. It is just right, You feel like you are taking of your dead skin with out feeling like you removed all your skin.  Once, you are done, you are left with a very gentle coconut and citrus scent and base. Your skin will fell amazing and you will smell great.

What the scrub looks like

I have also learned from Indie Lee herself that she will have a trunk show at Henri Bendels here in NYC. If any of my BA Beauties are in the city March 19th -25th, definitely come out and support.

I submit for your consideration, Indie Lee. Here is her link.

Beauty Army Inaugural Kit for January

Hey my BA Beauties. Hope your day is going amazing. Today I received my Beauty Army Kit. WOO HOO .
I am so happy I was one of the first 300 to be able to receive it. Just to do a quick re-hash of how beauty army works. You sign up on the website BeautyArmy, create your account and fill out a beauty profile. Once you do, it gives you choices of what your 6 samples will be. What makes Beauty Army unique is that you have the ability to either choose your samples or have stylists choose for you.


if you choose your samples, you will know exactly what you are receiving so no real surprise or disappointments.  I opened my kit and proceeded to looks at my goodies.

I received Chella Anti Fatigue eye mask Kit,  Control Corrective Botanical Soothing Cream with SPF 30, Myfacecosemtics eyeshadow in Morococo blingtone, Boo Boo Cover-up Concealer, Lift Lab Lift and Firm Eye cream and SheaTerra Organics Rose Hips Deep Pore  Facial Cleanser.

Now I know what your thinking, ( insert thought bubble) Jan, why did you choose so many beauty items for the face. Not like you are old or your skin looks bad or anything.
 ((( love yall)))

The reason why I chose so many types of things for the face is because I do have some skin concerns and having the ability to test items that have so truly higher price points for 12 bucks is not too shabby.
 If you lovelies take a look at the price for the full size for the items I have chosen, you will realize how much I am saving.

I am truly excited to try all these products and do a reassessment of how each works for me.

To all my BA beauties, I do hope that you all will sign up for beauty army. Let em know who referred you :)


BE GORGEOUS. BE WONDERFUL. BE YOU.
