Garnier Clean+ Shine Control Charcoal Cleanser

Garnier Clean+ Shine Control Gel Cleanser

I picked up this cleanser at my local Target store around April. I got this specific cleanser because it had charcoal in it, and I love my Biore charcoal cleanser, and wanted to compare them together(which will be posted soon). This product is meant for oily/acne prone skin, and is formulated with charcoal to pull out impurities and dirt. It is also formulated to help with shine and pore size control. It is oil-free . The formula has charcoal powder and menthol.

The full size bottle is 8 fl oz. and retails for around 8.00$ (http://www.garnierusa.com/products/skincare/facial-cleansers/oily-skin/clean-plus-shine-control-cleansing-gel.aspx)

You use this like a normal cleanser for your skin. wet your skin, work gel into face, and wash away. You can also use with cleansing devices such as a clarisonic, silicone face scrubber, or konjac sponge.

I first tried this cleanser instead of my Biore charcoal cleanser, and I love it just as much as my Biore cleanser but maybe a sight bit more. After washing my face, my face felt clean, and free of any excess oils left over from sleeping or throughout the day. It does clean well after wearing makeup all day/night. It does control excess oils, and shine throughout the time after washing your face. I personally love the product for my skin type.

It has a claim that it makes your skin better and your pores smaller in a week. As for that claim I believe it help your skin look shine free and better after washing. but for the pores and their size, it doesn't work. temporary yes, it helps pore size by cleaning out the dirt and oil from them. For long term results nothing can shrink pore size at all, you just have the pores you have and you have to deal with them. Do not believe any product that says it will fix your pore size forever, it is not a true claim, and is a scam to get you to spend money on it.

This is a favorite of mine, I totally love this product. You get more, then with the Biore product, more for your money. Yass girl! I love the smell of this product. It works well for oil/acne prone skin. It controls shine/oil. It is part of my Holy grail product. And is in my current skin care routine.

This gets an A+ and a 5 out of 5 for me!

A+

5/5

Here's a link for my review of my Biore charcoal cleanser(https://palebeautyblogs.blogspot.com/2016/05/biore-charcoal-face-cleanser.html)

Garnier Clean + Invigorating Daily Scrub

Garnier came out with a new line of products called the clean + line with products for each skin type from normal skin, oily skin, and dry skin. People have been raving about the clean + dry skin cleansing oil saying it is a drugstore alternative to other pricey dry skin cleaning oils for twice the price or more. I decided to pick up a scrub to get rid of my flaky skin from the winter time, and I chose this one for it's claims of refining pores and energizing skin with peppermint. This product is 5 fl oz. and has a green tint to it with little beads in it to polish your skin. The price is between 5.00$ -9.00$ , and is affordable. The smell of the product is a sort of peppermint/ aloe/cucumber smell, it smells kinda like a spa, and reminds me of some other Garnier skin product I have tried.

What I really like about this product is it feels soo great on your skin, and it kind of wakes you up, if you use it when you wake up. If you use it at night it refreshes you, and makes you feel pampered, like a spa treatment. It is Oil-free, non comedogenic, allergy tested, and gentle on your skin. This is branded for normal skin, but I think everyone can use it, except very sensitive skinned people. I will definitely be repurchasing this product. I can't wait to try more from this line of cleansing products. go garnier! :)

Love it!

Target: Target Style Merona Cross-Body Bag

Merona Timeless Collection Cross Body Bag in Junior Mint

I got this bag at target last weekend. I needed a cross body bag for my upcoming trip to Las Vegas, I don't want a huge purse down there in the desert. So I picked up this bag in the mint color, which is on trend right now. I have to say I'm in love with this bag, and for the under 25$ price tag I'll take it. The fake leather is buttery soft to the touch, and the space is enough for a phone, money,i.d.and then some.

The only downfall is the zipper is a bit pissy, but otherwise I'm in love with it.

you can find this bag at target stores or at http://www.target.com/p/merona-timeless-collection-crossbody-handbag-with-removable-strap/-/A-16457783#prodSlot=large_1_10

it also comes in 6 more colors if mint isn't your thing.

what's your summer bag??

EOS: Visibly Soft Lip Balm in Coconut Milk

EOS: Visibly Soft Lip Balm in Coconut Milk

I picked up this lip balm at target for a birthday gift card haul, because honestly I cant go anywhere without buying a lip balm or chapstick. I have an addiction and it's bad. HELP! (Just Kidding).... Anyways, I picked it up because I loved the packaging and I love the smell of coconut milk (not the taste at all sadly).

The smell is very pleasant, and sort of yummy at the same time, I love it. The packaging is super cute, I heart it. The formula is great and it lasts long, and it is said to gift softer, smoother, kissable lips. It does give smoothness and softness when it's on and lingers a bit after the balm is gone, but it doesn't keep your lips from flaking, chapping, and getting sore.

It has shea butter, vitamin e and vitamin c to help nourish your pucker.

This is a summer fave! I love it! would re-purchase.

Nugg Exfoliating Face Mask

This face mask is from Nugg beauty, and it comes in a little pod filled with the face mask. You can one pod 2-4 times depending on how much you use, I slather them on to get every inch of my skin covered with the face masks for the best benefits. I got 3 uses out of the one pod. This mask is made for combination skin. This mask exfoliates, smooths, and balances your skin. It is also good for acne prone skin, because it exfoliates the dead skin off your acne bumps, smooths them, and hydrates the bumps, so no scars are left behind. It has cranberry oil, jojoba oil beads, aloe, and grape oil and 93% natural products in it. It cleanses the oily skin and hydrates the dry skin.

to use you wash your face and dry it, then apply the mask on dry skin, and massage for 30 sec. - 1 min. then leave the mask on your skin for 5-10 mins. wash off. enjoy your skin.

I really love this mask and how great it made my skin feel, it even helped with my acne scars and current acne bumps. It made my skin silky smooth, and awesomely hydrated.

These are also great for traveling as the pod contains enough for a few face masks and is 10 ml or .33 fl oz. And you can get them at your local target for 4.00$. There is also many other masks to choose from if this isn't your thing. You can also purchase them directly from the company at their website.

Their website: Here

or Target online: Here

I love this mask, and recommend it to everyone.

Keep Masking,

Pop Beauty: Plump Pout Gloss- Peony Petal

This is the Pop Beauty plump pout gloss in peony petal. The size is .14 oz.(which is full size). The gloss is a red, rosey pink, color and the texture of this gloss is very smooth and buttery feeling. It is also a plumping lip gloss, without the burning stinging feeling like other plumping products. The gloss doesn't seem to have a smell, it just kinda smells like lip gloss.The wear time is great on this, it seems to last a tish longer then normal lipglosses, but will come off with food and drink.

The unique things about this gloss is the rubberized packaging, and the doe foot wand is straight, rather then a slanted doe foot applicator. I love the packaging, the rubberized feeling is something I Love and it makes it feel luxurious to me. I also love to see new packaging and wand types , it's nice to know people are evolving.

The color is a bit too warm for me, but if I mix it with some other cool color it works well. This color would work well on medium and deeper skin tones with a warmer undertone. it makes my teeth look more yellow also.

If you would like to purchase these glosses you can at ulta, ulta.com, amazon, and popbeauty.co.uk. It is 16.00$ .

Have you tried these? do you love them? what colors do you have? Let me know!

Pixi Beauty Tinted Brilliance Lip Balm- Unique Pink

This is a smaller review for the Pixi Beauty Tinted Brilliance Balm in Unique Pink. I got this in my July Ipsy bag, and have been using it since I got it. This is a tinted lip balm that colors itself based on your ph of your lips, giving you a hint of color and lots of moisture. It has a minty smell/taste, which makes it very pleasant to put on.

Klorane Labs Dry Shampoo

I got this as a sample in a Birchbox, and have used it all up. I had just run out of a big bottle of dry shampoo (Suave) which is the cheapest dry shampoo out there I think it's like 2.00$ So I needed some to survive a few more months.

My hair is past my shoulders and it's fine, but sorta thick, and damaged from coloring, pony tails, buns, and heat styling. I haven't been doing much heat styling in the summer, but in the winter I like to curl and straighten my hair. I mainly use dry shampoo because I have colored hair and it's usually red, or a weird color which fades wayyy to fast. So I try to wash my hair every 2-3 days, 4 at the max with dry shampoo in my hair. So dry shampoo is a god send when they finally made it! I bought like 4 bottles of it to help my hair.

It also is great for voluminous hair from the root to the tip, you can create crazy hairstyles and updos with it. I need these products in my life.

This dry shampoo works well, but i have two gripes to it. One is the white cast is strong with this product after spraying it in, but you can sort of brush it out. The second is the smell, it smells like chemical and not so good. Otherwise this is a great dry shampoo. It is on the higher end of the spectrum for pricing, so I would look for a cheaper one because I use soo much of it. But it is good.

It gets a B- to me, It's just not right for my price range.

That's what I think.There are plenty out there to try for under 10$ or even 5$ which is awesome.

What do you think? have you tried this? any dry shampoo recommendations? let me know!

Stay Beautiful!

E.L.F. Eyebrow Kit in Medium

I have had this for a while and when ever I feel like I need to do my brows I use this. I love it. It is the perfect price, and has a great product for the money.This is a great product for people who don't want to spend an arm and a leg on brow products. It is 3.00$ I think and you can now get elf at target and kmart. or get it online at www.eyeslipsface.com

The color works well for me even when I have auburn hair, I just use a redder powder. This is my holy grail brow product! Everyone should try it. they have 5 colors for you to try to match your hair, and it's drugstore. Awesome!

Try it out! like it? let me know.

Stay Beautiful!

Laneige Water Sleeping Mask

This is a review for the Laniege Water Sleeping Mask. This product is made by a Laneige, an offshoot of amorepacific, a korean brand. This is part of their hydration line, and is an overnight mask. You put this mask on before you go to sleep and it works overnight while you sleep. This is made for all skin types, and I even use this on my acne, blemished skin to hydrate it. It is said to lock in moisture, brighten, purify, and soothes your skin.

I put this on after my skin care routine of washing, toning, and acne treatment. I place this on instead of putting lotion on my face, on the days I need a bit more pampering and moisturization. Then, in the morning I rise this off and continue with my daytime skin care routine.

I love this product a whole lot. It does what it says and it treats my skin while I'm sleeping which is a bonus! Yay! I also love the smell of this stuff which is rose, sandalwood, and ylang ylang. It calms me before bedtime. The other good thing is you can pick a sample size (0.5 oz)of this sorta expensive face mask (23.00$) and another face mask at target for like 5.00$. Deal! I'm in! I probably will buy a full size as I love this item, and feel I cannot live without it some nights. It's that good for my skin.

an A+++ for me!

Thanks for reading, stay tuned for more.
