Philosophy Purity Made Simple ($20.00 to $40.00) is a cult favorite when it comes to finding a gentle, one-stop cleanser. The original is a creamy formula with no real lathering/foaming properties. They recently launched a version that is high-foaming, which is not a creamy formula, and instead...
Shiny skin got you down? You should check out Philosophy's Never Let Them See You Shine line. The line is a trio of products, consisting of a primer ($20.00), a cleanser ($20.00), and a scrub ($20.00).
The primer feels smooth, velvety - it sinks into the skin and helps keep your makeup looking fresher...
Last week, when I shared with you what I kept in my shower, I briefly told you of the merits of MAC's Volcanic Ash Exfoliator ($19.00). It's such a great product that it deserves its own, official review. Volcanic Ash is both a foaming and exfoliating scrub, which makes it different from the typical...
The first time I wrote about Olivella, I had tried their Moisturizer Oil. This time I want to tell you about their Cleansing Tissues ($7.50/pack of 30), which are make-up removing towelettes. I know a few of you using the Oil Cleansing Method, so this might be an option for those who need a quick and...
Plank's Cor Soap ($125.00) is something that sort of makes me go, "WHAT?!" because $125 for a 120-gram bar of soap? It is a facial soap, but it is designed to basically do everything in your skincare regimen: revives, plumps, tones, balances, deep cleans, and heals surface skin. To apply, massage...
Olay is one of those brands that everybody has heard of, but you may or may not have tried. It has been around for so many years, you may have tried it eons ago, disliked it, and written it off (or loved it and have forgotten about it!)--but now is the time to head to your nearest drugstore to peruse ...
C'watre is a brand that labels itself as "oceanic skin care," which does make you think of spas, gentleness, and natural ingredients. They use "molecularly stimulated ocean water" as an essential ingredient in their products. They also mention that they are sure to only use ingredients in such...
Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Dermabrasion System ($28.00)
For a long time, Avon was not in my beauty realm, but I have to admit that in the past few years, they've really expanded and spiced up their line. You hear about Avon reps, and you just don't associate it with a product you'd have in your...
Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub ($6.99) is an anti-acne facial scrub that utilizes salicylic acid while exfoliating with microbeads to help slough away dead skin cells. This product is alcohol-free (alcohol is a huge no-no in skin products!), which is always a big plus when considering an exfoliant and...
Biore Mandarin Blossom Nose Strips ($6.99 for 8) is a twist on their traditional deep cleansing nose strips, because they are now lightly scented with a citrusy scent of mandarin blossom (this is a limited edition offering). These strips bond with dirt and help remove build-up after wearing the...
