Dollar Tree White Rain Product Review: Makeup Remover, Body lotion, Foot Cream

White Rain Product Review

A couple weeks ago I was able to find 3 of the 5 White Rain product the Dollar Tree is currently Carrying.  I was able to pick up the foot cream, makeup  remover, and body lotion.  

I will be doing a review for each of these products and if you have tried out the other two let me know how you think they work. 

I will be reviewing all three under the same category, packaging, smell, quality, and if I will buy them again.  I will scale each of these categories 1-5.  1 being worst you can get 5 being greatest. 

Facial Cleanser/Makeup Remover: 

•   Packaging:  I really liked the packaging of all three of these and I thought they were very cute.  However they are only 4oz tubes so its not like I am getting a whole lot of product for my money.  (it is the dollar store but if you could get a 10oz bottle over a 4oz for a dollar wouldn't you?)

  So I gave the packaging a 4 out 5
  
  
  
  
  • Smell: I fell like all White Rain products have almost all identical smells.  That's not a bad thing of course its all very fresh and clean smelling but it wasn't anything fantastic.  I did think it was one of the nicer smelling face products out there so I am going to give it again a 4. 
    
    
    Quality: Okay now for the real deal part of the review everyone really wanted to know; did it work?
   
   I say yes! I think this is by far one of the best eye makeup removers I have ever used.  Something to consider is I do not wear very much makeup at all and had no plans of switching my current daily cleanser to this product so I don't know how it works as a cleanser for use of cleaning your face with no makeup.

 
  HOWEVER for me a big deal with makeup removers is that I don't want to wake up the next morning with residue under my eyes!! That is my biggest pet peeve! With this product I found  NO LEFTOVER RESIDUE!
 
  Now again I do not wear a lot of makeup and I wear cheap makeup so it is going to be easier for me to remove my makeup than people who are spending 10$ and up on there mascara than me who is spending $1.00 but for me this really did get the job done and I was happy with it. So if you are a true dollar everything kind of girl like myself than this should do the trick for you.
 
I give it a 4 and not a full 5 due to the fact that I am not so sure it would get the job done for someone with serious makeup wearing capabilities. 

 Will I continue to purchase this product?
I do really really like this product and do recommend it but truth is since I don't wear makeup daily I like to try new makeup removing methods. ( I think I am going to try olive oil next)

 I am not going to be partial to any specific product because of this.   I might buy this product again but than again maybe not.  I will use the rest of the product that I have and than possibly move on but I am perfectly happy with this product and know it will not go to waste.  

Overall Verdict: 4

Healing Foot Cream

Smell: Again I think it smells like any other white rain product but in a good way.  It smells fresh and clean and I like it.  I give it a 4. 

Packaging: Again Super obsessed with this cute packaging and I mean common at the dollar store? Cant beat it! But It could use a little more product to get some more bang for my buck.  It is also a 4oz package. I give it a 4 

Quality: The truth!... This. Stuff. Sucks. 

I cannot express how much I hate this product and I can't imagine it would do anything to actually help my feet or anyone else in any other way than to add a little sent.  

Why do I hate it?
Well for starters it is UBER watery and when I think healing foot cream I think super thick and creamy.  Why? Because if you have intense cracking in your heels how the hell is water going to fix that? It absorbs into the skin almost immediately and doesn't do anything to actually heal any of the dry skin. 

 Now my feet aren't actually that bad off but I do have some dry skin on my feet and they are looking a bit rough from years in softball cleats but my god this couldn't even give me any simple moisture.  

I am not even going to put a little thermometer icon because it is a   zero to me.

Will I buy it again?: 
Is that even a question? Not. A. Chance. 

I will use up the product I have because I hate to waste things I spend money on but I wont enjoy it thats for sure. 

 I bought one of the roller massage things everyone was going crazy about at the Dollar Tree and I will use the foot cream when I use the roller on my feet but once the product its gone I never want to see that product again.  

So overall the product gets a 1 and thats just because its smells good and its pretty haha I guess that has to count for something. 

 By the way for those of you who didn't know what I was talking about when I said my massage thingy from dollar tree I was talking about this! :) but pink of course.

 

Shea Butter Body Lotion

 ________________________________________

 

Packaging/Smell: I am putting these two together because I feel the same about the packaging on this than I do the last two products.  

 

So I give it a 4. 

Quality: 
I am in LOVE with this product! 

There are not many plain jain non fru fru smelling lotions out there that I really actually enjoy but I can truly say I really do enjoy this product.  

I will say the one down fall to this product is that it is a little watery but truthfully I think that is also why I like it. 

The main reason I don't fall in love with plain jane lotions is because they are to thick and greasy for my taste but this one is just the right amount of thick and moisturizing without the greese and I really can respect that.  

Will I buy again? 

Heck yes!  

 Long story short if you skipped to the end and want to know which product is worth buying.. go wth the body lotion!

Thank you for reading and if you have any recommendations for a review please let me know. 


 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

DIY: homemade wax

DIY: Homemade wax & wax strips

Something new I want to start doing here on my blog and that is all natural beauty tutorials. I prefer all natural/organic beauty routines rather than buying them at the store so I thought I would share some of my recipes. 

The reasons behind me not liking products that are not natural or "organic" is because last year while I was researching for a project I was assigned at school I found out that in almost everything you buy on the shelf at the store (as far as beauty products go) they all have chemicals in them.  

These chemicals may be more potent causing the products to be more effective than our all natural methods but the effects of these chemicals are terrible. 

Because we put all of these products directly on our skin they instantly go strait to our blood stream.  Most of these  nasty chemicals stay in our skin for up to 7 years.  

Most girls have daily beauty routines and most of there products that they use have these harmful chemicals in them.   That means every day you are adding to the amount of toxins in your blood stream increasing the build up of these toxins.

By eliminating these things we can all become very healthy individuals. 

One way to eliminate unhealthy habits is to switch out our store bought wax strips for a homemade wax.

 I am going to show you how to make this today along with some easy and recyclable wax strips to use with them.  

Ms. Toi on youtube has this tutorial on her channel so I did not feel the need to make one of my own.  If you would rather watch the video go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZfhfu5qhVg&list=PLCcfFHrPaaU7o3rn4Jrm2Q4nb5I8SOITU

But here is my blog version for you

Some supplies you will need:

• Medium size sauce pan 
• Funnel 
• jar (I used a pint you can use anything you have laying around) 
• Spoon (preferably a metal) 
• 2 cups sugar 
• 1/4 cup water 
• 1/4 cup lemon juice 
• Essential oils (optional) 

1.Put all of your ingredients into the sauce pan set to a medium heat.  Any hotter you can risk burning your wax

1 1/2. Add essential oils. This step is optional I like to do it to add a nice smell to my wax just for a little extra. If you do just add a few little drops. My recommendation is lavender oil. 

This is what it will look like as it starts to boil 

It may take a while to get it boiling 

2.Stir constantly Be careful not to get to crazy when stirring this mix will burn you 

3.Keep stirring till your mixture starts darkening.  This is an example of it starting to get a darker color it takes a while for it to get to this state so be patient. 

Ahhh here we go we are getting the right color now.  It is now a dark caramel brown. Bellow the bubbles the mixture should look much darker. ( I accidentally deleted the picture of what it looks like under the bubbles... opps) 

4. Now it is time to check to make sure it is done.  Lay out a clean towel and than take your spoon and put a few drops onto the towel.  let it sit and cool a bit because it will be extremely hot! Once you touch it,it should be sticky and you should be able to shape it.  If you let it cool longer it will be hard.  Kind of like candy. 

If it is still like syrup or liquidy it is not done. Go for about five minuets longer than check again. 

Make sure you are still stirring constantly 

This is what it should look like -- if not the drops should be harder

5. If it is done take it off the burner

6. Using the funnel put your mix into your jar and let it sit till it completely cools 

Make sure you are careful HOT! 

To use this wax:

When you want to use this wax you put your jar into a pan with a small amount of water than warm it up till it is a honey like consistency. 
Apply to the area against the grain of your hair using a Popsicle stick or something of that sort than put your wax strip over it and press firmly 

Than you know whats next... Rip it off! 

If you did not put this mixture into a boil or stove top safe container just simple use a double boil method or try your best to scoop out some of the mixture and put it directly into your pan with ought water.

Now for the wax strips! 

Cotton material is the best you could use and what I recommend is old t-shirts.  

I took an old t-shirt and cut it into various sized strips big and little for different types of uses.  

The reasons behind me not liking products that are not natural or "organic" is because last year while I was researching for a project I was assigned at school I found out that in almost everything you buy on the shelf at the store (as far as beauty products go) they all have chemicals in them.  

These chemicals may be more potent causing the products to be more effective than our all natural methods but the effects of these chemicals are terrible. 

Because we put all of these products directly on our skin they instantly go strait to our blood stream.  Most of these  nasty chemicals stay in our skin for up to 7 years.  

Most girls have daily beauty routines and most of there products that they use have these harmful chemicals in them.   That means every day you are adding to the amount of toxins in your blood stream increasing the build up of these toxins.

By eliminating these things we can all become very healthy individuals. 

Do you have any all natural beauty routines?
