It’s a bit cooler in Kansas City this week and is starting to feel like Fall! There are so many great new products to test and love!
This week I’m loving an all natural hand and body scrub, an easy way to remove makeup, an overnight facial treatment and affordable and innovative makeup.
What are you loving this week? Leave a comment and let me know!

Patchouli& Buriti, nutrient-rich, relaxing, soothing and uplifting to the senses, buffs way dryness to reveal healthier-looking and smoother skin.
What I think: I have tried the Mango Butter and Raw Shea Butter scrubs. They exfoliate well and leave my skin very soft. The Mango Butter scent was a little sweet for me, but I really like the Raw Shea Butter scrub.

Makeup Eraser Pink ($19.97 USD) — The cloth and remove your makeup. This includes waterproof eyeliner and mascara, HD makeup and much more. The best part is…it’s reusable. Throw it in the wash and no stains remain. The MakeUp Eraser will last up to 1,000 washes and eliminates the need to buy disposable product to remove your makeup. The MakeUp Eraser is a pink (also available in black) cloth with a hand-sewn sateen edge that’s plush and soft to the touch.
What I think: I really like this cloth. If I wet it and wipe my face, it removes all of my makeup. Then I flip it over and the longer fibers on the other side exfoliate my skin. And it washes up nicely!
