Skincare for Intimate Grooming with Project Fig




Bikini season is only a few months away, and if you're like the majority of women, you might be hesitant about slipping on a bikini and hitting the boardwalk. The sensitive (and painful) thought of bikini waxing comes into mind for some, because we all want to look and feel our best when lounging at the beach or poolside. There is another option where you don't have to resort to applying on sketchy chemicals that make hair pull a "disappearing" act or baring it to a complete stranger at a salon, especially when it comes to hair removal down there.

I know that I mostly cover topics regarding hair care, skin care, and make-up, but it has been ages since I've talked about a product for... the nether regions...your lady bits or down there. Whatever you refer it, it's a sensitive topic for most women, including myself, but it is important like any other part of the skin. Even someone influential and well-respected as Oprah can shamelessly refer the female anatomy as a va-jay-jay. So, surely we can set our pride aside, and address this topic candidly and maturely.

Intimate grooming with Project Fig is easy, painless, and without irritation. The shaving gel is formulated with amino-acid based Sodium N-Cocoyl-L-Glutamate, one of the safest and gentlest cleansing agents available, and gives me the closest shave. Since I have very sensitive skin, I quickly follow up with the soothing serum to help soothe my skin. The soothing serum also prevents ingrown hair and relieves itchiness during regrowth. Formulated with Capislow and IBR-Dormin, the hair inhibitor delays hair growth and promotes softer, finer hair. I haven't noticed much of a difference. Maybe those who order the full size product have a better experience. I don't know, so don't take my word for it. Lastly, the exfoliant gently buffs away dead skin cells, as it prevents ingrown hairs.

The Shave Love Kit ($99) contains full size products of everything you need for the best shaving experience. The Wax Love Kit ($79) contains three full size products and one small shave for touch-ups. The Weekender Kit ($49) convenient sizes of everything, making it perfect for gifting or traveling!

Tarte Cosmetics skinny smolderEYES™ Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner Review

Tarte Cosmetics is the leader in high-performance naturals™ proving that glamour can be good for you by offering the largest selection of cruelty-free beauty products infused with pure, healthy ingredients including fruit and plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, essential oils and other naturally-derived ingredients.




I normally prefer using liquid eyeliner (opposed to eyeliner gel or pencil) since it doesn't smudge as easily. I also usually don't shy away from the classic colors when it comes to eyeliner (i.e. black, brown, or navy), but I recently had the opportunity to try out Tarte Cosmetics skinny smolderEYES™ Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner ($19) in Emerald. This color is beautiful and breathtaking, and I love how the pencil glides on effortlessly and smoothly. It is also surprisingly long-lasting, but they're not kidding about it being waterproof since it can be a trying experience to remove it by the end of the day. I suggest using an oil-based cleanser for removal if this is the case for you, too. Also, the pencil is very soft, but I read in the comments on Tarte that you can leave it in the fridge for 15 minutes, which makes it very firm before sharpening.

Live a Beautiful Life with 3000BC

3000BC is the only skincare line featuring pure organic botanicals and powerful clinical-grade cosmeceuticals. That is what makes the 3000BC line so unique and effective. Clinical studies prove that their products dramatically diminish the signs of aging, dehydration, acne and sun damage.




The most commonly known vital keys to maintaining or achieving youthful skin is eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, exercising, avoiding alcohol and cigarettes. It is also important to cleanse and exfoliate the skin with a high quality cleanser, such as 3000BC's Exfoliating Scrub Cleanser ($28). Unlike many other facial cleansers, this one is suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin since it gently exfoliates the skin without causing irritation.

My acne prone skin has been mostly clear for the past year. However, it decided to do a complete 360 on me recently. It's most likely due to the fact that I'm busier than I have ever been, which causes unnecessary bouts of stress. Besides exercising on a daily basis and eating a healthier diet, I've practically tried everything under the sun to nix this problem and nothing has really worked. This product seems to be quite promising, though. The breakouts haven't miraculously pulled a disappearing act, but my skin has been looking much better since I have been using this cleanser.

This cleanser has a creamy texture, featuring tiny and gentle scrubbing granules. The key ingredients are algae extract, jojoba beads, lavender water, zinc oxide, lemon, and cypress. It's super economical since a pea sized amount will cover my face and neck. I like the squeaky clean, yet soft and touchable feeling it provides. Also, I only use it three times a week in replacement of my regular cleanser to avoid over exfoliation.

During my A.M. skincare routine, I usually follow up with the Antioxidant Strengthening Day Serum ($45) after cleansing my face. It makes make-up application effortlessly easy since this serum is lightweight and non-greasy. The high levels of Vitamin C helps stimulate cell renewal, while other ingredients, such as green tea extract, borage oil, superoxide dismutase, linden blossom help battle the signs of premature aging.
