Beauty Review: Giovanni d:tox purifying facial cleanser

Hello Beauty Lovers around the globe. Today I have a review on a product that I've been using for just over 3 months now.

This cleanser does it's job. It removes makeup and grime. Washes away excess sebum. It however doesn't wash off waterproof eye makeup. It is genle enough for the eye area, but I find it doesn't wash off waterproof mascara. However, I think it does a decent job in removing my bb or cc cream, setting mineral powder, blush, bronzer, eye brow powder, eyeshadow and certain eyeliners.

It doesn't dry out your skin or make your skin feel tight. I recommend it for combination skin, oily or acne prone skin types.

As for this product claiming to detoxify, purify, balance and hydrate your skin. Hmmm... I could only agree with "balance," as you still need to tone and moisturize your skin afterwards.

I would buy this product again and recommend it as a budget friendly item.

Cheers for now,

Vivian

Beauty Review: NARS Skin Purifying Foam Cleanser

Back of the Bottle reads: 

Refeshes and helps control excess oil.
Apply a small amount of product to wet hands and work into a lather. Gently massage onto skin using circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Purchased at Holt Renfrew.

I thought this product was overpriced at first. But when I figured I only needed a pea sized amount everytime. It's more than worth it. In Canada the price ranges from $32-36 per 125 mL (4.9 Oz). In the United States it is $29.

I've tested this product out for over a month now. It is very mild for my sensitive skin that is also acne prone. It takes long-lasting foundation off with the little microbeads. It doesn't make my skin feel tight nor does it make it flake. My skin feels refreshed and dewy after each wash. I use this cleanser in the morning and at night. And on days I go to the gym, I would also wash my face afterwards.

The texture is creamy with microbead exfoliants. It foams up quite a bit, a pea size dot is more than enough for the entire face. Wet your hands and face prior to applying the cleanser. Work up a foamy lather, at this point I rinse with a wet konjac sponge. Pat dry with a clean cloth. Follow with toner and moisturizer. 

Skin feels smooth and fantastic. I would definitely purchase this product again.

Beauty Review: Neutrogena Naturals Fresh Cleansing + Makeup Remover

I must say I really enjoy the Neutrogena Naturals products. But I don't think this one owns up to what it's advertised for. I believe it is a good gentle cleanser but it does not remove my makeup whatsoever. More so it just washes off the setting powder, but the makeup that is underneath is still on my skin. I find it terrible in removing mascara and eyeliner. It is quite odd as the "purifying facial cleanser" removes all my makeup just fine and it doesn't irritate or sting my eyes. Whereas this one does.

All in all I give it a 2 out of 5 stars and I won't be repurchasing this product again.
