Moisturizers -Simple - Replenishing Rich Moisturiser
Sarajava 6/18/2012 3:26:00 AM
I bought this looking for a very hydrating night cream for sensitive skin, for my dehydrated skin that is usually normal and sensitive skin-type. Everything written on the box seemed to be what I was looking for. I dislike the product for two reasons. First off, I was immediately disappointed after I bought it because it says "rich moisturizer" and its a very light gel consistency that sunk in immediately and didnt seem to sooth my skin at all. Secondly after only using it once it broke my skin out. My skin usually gets one or two spots occasionally but it was quite a few newly formed white heads in places I never break out like my nose and chin and this is the only new product I used. I got no new breakouts after I discontinued use of this. I gave this product a 2 only because I do like the way it feels on my hands and it has no ill effects there.

Moisturizers -Olay - Active Hydrating Cream - Oil Free

This is the best face moisturizer I have used. It is the perfect consistency, its on the thicker side but it sinks into the skin quickly and doesn't leave it greasy. Its probably best for normal or dry skin, makes my skin feel hydrated and plump all day but doesn't make it oily and has never caused irritation or break outs. I like that the scent is very light and fades quickly, the packaging is fine and its also a great price. This keeps my skin in perfect balance, so i'd definitely buy this again.

Scrubs -St. Ives - Green Tea Scrub

This is one of my favorite face-scubs I've ever used. I like that it's a very fine scrub, its not as harsh as most other drug-store facial scrubs. I feel like it actually exfoliates better because the particles are so fine, but they also dont irritate my sensitive skin or make it feel dry. I love the smell, its a very light calming scent. I love it as an exfoliator but as an acne treatment I am indifferent, it does have salicylic acid which is an ane treatment but I do not like to use scrubs daily.

Misc Beauty Tools -beautyblender - the sponge

Best makeup sponge I ever used. Its a lot softer and doesnt absorb as much product as a typical makeup sponge. When its wet it is spingy and smooth which feels really nice against skin. It makes applying your liquid or cream foundation easy, It never leaves streaks, and the shape is great for different areas on the face. Takes me less time than with a brush, and I find I clean it more often than brushes because I dont have to wait for it to dry, so its more hygienic than makeup brushes for me. I also think the moisture in the sponge helps make foundation look more natural on skin, it gives a finish that I just cant get with a brush. It is way more expensive than normal makeup sponges, however it is close to what I would spend on a foundation brushes anyways.
