My Thoughts:
I was one of those lucky people who rarely had a pimple throughout their teenage years. I was even really lucky throughout college. Karma has finally caught up to me, because I now must deal with breakouts. Enter Oxy Clinical Acne Solutions Pack. The pack comes with everything you will need to combat acne: a cleanser with salicylic acid, a moisturizer also with salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide treatment. The first few days of using the Oxy Clinical Acne Solutions Pack was tough on my skin. I normally have oily skin and after using this, the salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide really dried out my skin. I can only imagine what it did to people with dry skin. Using all three products at once was too much for my skin to handle, so I would only the cleanser and moisturizer in the morning. At night, I would use the cleanser and the treatment followed by a heavy moisturizer.
After using the Oxy Clinical Acne Solutions Pack for almost a month, I noticed I had fewer breakouts. If I did get a pimple, the Oxy Clinical Acne Solutions Pack would dry it right up and make it disappear within a couple of days. Overall, I was happy with how much my skin improved. I’m just not sure if it is something I would try again because of how much it dried out my skin.

Ocean For Kids ($5.29) Specifically formulated for newborns and children up to 12 years of age, Ocean for Kids Nasal Spray provides instant, soothing relief to irritated nasal passages. The natural, non-medicated OCEAN® Nasal for Kids product has a smaller spray tip to fit smaller noses and contains glycerin for extra moisturizing, which results in less stinging and burning. Moreover, it is safe to use as often as needed, because it is drug free.
Ocean Sinus Irrigation ($9.99) Ocean Complete Sinus Irrigation provides a convenient and easy to use two-in-one nasal saline therapy: a special nozzle for nasal sinus irrigation and a unique saline mist applicator for nasal moisturizing. Utilizing an exclusive non-medicated salt blend formula, the OCEAN brand nasal sinus irrigation system is safe for frequent daily use.
My Thoughts:
A lot of people have been getting sick lately, and Spring (boo bad allergies!) is right around the corner. It’s just one big nasal problem. It’s even worse when it ends up ruining your makeup or preventing you from wearing makeup. Trust me. I know. The constant sneezing, the dripping, and the dryness. Yuck and not pretty at all! One way I combat these problems is by using Ocean Nasal Spray. I’ve been using this for years, ever since the days I worked at a pharmacy. What I like about Ocean Nasal Spray is that it’s a non-medicated saline spray. What does this mean? It means no gross after-taste, burning, or irritation. The sprays are really gentle. Perfect for you and the kiddies! There’s even an Ocean Nasal Spray made specifically for young ones! If you’re like me and don’t like the idea or feeling of water going up your nose, you’re in luck because the Ocean Nasal Spray bottle allows you to either spray, mist, or drip it.
If you suffer from sinuses, the Ocean Sinus Irrigation is perfect for you. It comes with two different attachments so you can use it either as a spray or a mist. It’s very quick and easy to use. No mixing involved! And just like the Ocean Nasal Spray, it’s a non-medicated saline spray.
A little side note: Even though I did receive samples, I was already using these products for years prior.

 Ocean Potion Clear Zinc Oxide Face Potion SPF 45 ($3) Zinc Oxide is known worldwide for its sun protection qualities. Ocean Potion® Face Potion SPF 45 goes on clear and protects the skin against both UVA and UVB sun rays. It is ideal for all outdoor activities.
My Thoughts:
One of my all time favorite sun block ever! If you’re looking for a sun block that goes on clear, doesn’t break you out, doesn’t have a smell, and doesn’t leave you greasy, this is the sun block for you. Ocean Potion is relatively inexpensive and lasts for a long time. It’s a cream that goes on light and feels light too! It also absorbs very quickly and works well under makeup. I highly recommend this sun block for everybody.

 OPI Maintenance Nail Envy ($16) I L-O-V-E OPI Maintenance Nail Envy! It is an awesome nail strengthener. Nail Envy normally retails for $16, but I was able to get it for $8.95 through head2toe Beauty. It’s very easy to apply. Your first day you apply 2 coats and then every other day you apply 1 coat on top. After a week, you remove the layers and start all over. The polish goes on clear and gives your nails a pretty shine. Nail Envy doesn’t make your nails grow faster. It just strengthens your nails.
For the past year, my nails have been breaking so easily. The slightest little bump would cause my nail to break. After a week of using Nail Envy, my nails did not break once. Every little bump that normally would cause my nails to break or chip did not do my nails any damage. My nails even felt thicker. If you’re looking for a way to strengthen your nails, I recommend you try OPI Maintenance Nail Envy.

I am what you call a mascara junkie. I am on the constant hunt for the newest, bad-ass mascara on the block. Even though I am always jumping from one mascara to another, there is always one mascara I keep coming back to: Origins Full Story ($13.50). It is wax-free, which means easy removal. No clumping. No irritation. No funky smell. This mascara makes my eyelashes appear thicker, fuller, and longer. A great feat to accomplish I might mention. I have pin straight Asian lashes. Not only does my lashes look thicker, fuller, and longer, but they feel so soft too! Not hard, brittle, and unnatural looking. Origins Full Story should be in everybody’s makeup drawer/bag!
