My thoughts:

Love... Love... Love... this product so much! When I saw *exfoliator* on the packaging I knew it would be love at first sight. This product definitely works magic. I've been using it for over 2 months about twice a week and notice the texture of my skin a lot smoother. Call this little blue tube a home version of microdermabrasion. It will literally exfoliate all your dead skin cells and get deep into your pores to cleanse it all off. You will notice a difference immediately! With all the makeup I wear during workdays, I am always dying for a deep pore refining treatment. This works so great in the shower when your pores are nice and wide open. I guarantee you that your skin feel renewed and smooth like a babies butt. The texture is a bit on the grittier side so anyone who has sensitive and delicate skin might need to be a little more careful when using the product. It is safe since it was made for all skin types. Overall, I am satisfied with the results and will continue to use this weekly. Very impressed with Dr. Brandt products as this is my first time trying anything from the line. Will probably look into other products and try them out as well. Highly recommend this for anyone wanting a pore minimizing makeover.

"Look at the mirror... you've become BRANDT NEW."

How to use?

Apply all over clean face in the AM and PM. Use as the last step in your skincare routine. Apply after sunscreen for an optimal mattifying effect.


My thoughts...

So when I first read "pore refiner" and "retinol"... all I could think was yes and yes! As you age, your skin does not repair itself as quickly as you imagine. With that being said, you have to be extra cautious of how you take care of it and your daily regimen. I've always been great with my skin care regimen since I was a teen. Thanks to my wonderful mom who taught me early. Lately, my skin has taken a toll on me and I've been desperate for a skin renewal turn around. With all this hormonal acne I go through monthly, I have ton of acne scars and pores that are extremely visible. This product really gave me hope that it could make a difference...

Any skin care product that's intensive like this will take time in order to see results. I've used mine for about 8 weeks and counting off and on. I try my best to always add it into my regimen but I like to switch around and use different products daily. This is definitely my favorite to use under makeup due to its mattifying effect. It really smooths out my skin and gives it a nice texture prior to applying any base makeup. The product is light yet moisturizing but not greasy. I have yet to see a dramatic decrease in the size of my pores but I can visibly see a slight difference each application. Hey, that's a start... something is working and I am not complaining. Ultimately I am pleased with the fact that their products are all suitable for all skin types, non-comedogenic and free of parabens and sulfates. Every one of their formulas are proven to work and backed up by clinical research. That is proof that it will transform your skin regardless you like it or not. Highly recommend this for anyone in dying need of a great pore minimizing product that also works as a makeup primer. I will definitely continue to use this and hope to see shrinkage in my pores. Bye Bye Pores!!!

Dermalogica Pre Cleanse Oil & Wipes Review

Hello~ Hello! my beauty junkies! I will be reviewing Dermalogica's Pre Cleanse Oil and their Pre Cleanse wipes. Feel like I have definitely jumped on the bandwagon so late. Heard so many great reviews on all of their products and here I am just now getting to them. Now I see why the hype is so real. It's pretty amazing...





Dermalogica Precleanse Oil - Deep Cleansing "oil-busting emulsifyer" that melts impurities and makeup residue on your skin. Removes waterproof makeup in one easy step. Formulated without artificial fragrances and color. Gentle on the skin with Rice Bran and Vitamin E oils.

Directions - Dispense onto dry hands and massage all over face. Then wet hands and let the formula emulsify on skin. Rinse with lukewarm water and follow up with normal cleanser.

My thoughts - The formula was quite thin and easy to use. It removed all my heavy makeup including my waterproof shadows and mascara so nicely. I've always been a fan of cleansing oils especially since I tend to wear waterproof mascara all the time. The oil was gentle yet soothing on the skin. Felt so refreshed once the makeup was all rinsed off. Definitely a keeper! Comes in two sizes (1.0 oz $10.00) pictured here in the post and a larger (5.1 oz $38.00) economy size that will last you through many tubes of mascaras.





Dermalogica Precleanse Wipes - A biodegradable makeup removing wipe that melts away layers of excess sebum (oil), sunscreen, waterproof make-up, pollutants and products.

Directions> - Wipe face with cloth to remove makeup. Optional, wet wipe to create a light, milky emulsion type of wipes.

My thoughts - So this is pretty much precleanse oil in a wipe. Literally! Perfect for traveling so you can avoid any "oily" mess. I love how they give you two options to use this product. At first, I thought the wipes were a bit drying and not working so effectively... Till I realized the oil was already saturated into the wipes. It's definitely different from what I'm used to. Currently I use the Neutrogena wipes. Those glide across the face due to the over saturated cloth, which I love. This one feels different but I've gotten used to them. As you can see by the picture, it is pretty large in size. Removes all my sunscreen, foundation and waterproof makeup so effectively. Comes in a 20ct pack for $18.00.

Review: Voloom - Hair Volumizing Iron

Hey loves! Today I will be reviewing an awesome hair gadget that will give life to your hair like you've never seen before. Are you a victim of dull, fine, limp, no volume type of hair? *raises hands* Well no more worries because this tool is simple, easy and will instantly transforms your hair!







Here is what came in my package... the volumizing iron, sectioning brush, 3 grip clips, and travel pouch.




Close up details of the iron... notice the ceramic coated grid like pattern or what they call "Volume Pockets" to help lift the top layers up and away from the scalp. Has a mini LED digital temperature for precise heat control up to 390 degrees. Comes with a locking mechanism that protects the iron when stored away. Neat!




Here are *Before & After* Photos of how this little tool will change the way you fix your hair~ forever!
(My daughter wanted to be the hair model for today's review. Thanks to her beautiful long locks, I was able to achieve a beautiful volumized hair.)




*The texture and shape of how your hair looks like underneath the layers. You want to style inside your layers and overlap your top layers over that. I did her hair very lightly to give a subtle amount of volume. Of course you can always add more texture for more volume! Click *HERE* for more info on how to achieve this with step by step instructions.




Side profile *Before & After* of the volumized hair. Definitely a dramatic lift in the hair compared to the original Before pic. Winning! What's really cool is you can go days without washing your hair and keep this gorgeous volume for days. It works with freshly washed hair or 1-2 day old hair as well. So you can achieve this hair anytime, any day, all day if you want.




Overall, I was really impressed with this tool. Left the hair nice and silky smooth. No worries about damaging as long as you follow the instructions and take care of your hair well. This is was definitely something I've been needing in my hair life for so long. I've always struggled with limp, no volume in my hair. The everyday women does not want to get up and spend time to blow dry and style their hair daily. Well at least I don't. ha ha... so this is definitely the solution for my hair problems and hope it will be yours too.

Perlier Shea Butter with White Lily Hand Cream

Any hand cream addicts out there? *raises hands* I am definitely one of them. I couldn't be more excited to show you what this amazing product has to offer. It is my first time hearing about this particular brand Perlier but when I saw shea butter in the description, I was not afraid to move forward. This hand cream is formulated with 100% organic shea butter and extracts of white lily. Doesn't white lily just make it sound more divine and luxurious? I mean, this was all crafted in 150 acres of botanical gardens located in Turin, Italy. I squealed when I heard it was made in Italy!!!


Benefits:
*Helps improve the look of the skin
*Effective beauty treatment for dry, prematurely aged skin
*Helps fight free radicals and protect against environmental aggresors
*Recommended for areas most prone to dryness
*No preservatives


My personal experience:
When I first opened my package, I was so shocked by the size of this product. I mean it's huge! 6.7 fl. oz. of heavenly goodness in my hands. Average hand creams are only about 3oz or less? From there I knew I would be able to use this more frequently over saving it thinking it will run out too soon. The scent... oh the scent... I died and went to heaven. Smells oh so beautiful and soothing. The scent was a bit of citrus mixed with rosy floral but not overpowering. My hands just smells so amazing once I apply this on. This is a non greasy formula yet stays very hydrated and replenishes your dry cracked skin. I wash my hands probably 100 times day and let me tell you, it is not very pretty. As you may know shea butter is an essential ingredient that helps nourish and protect your skin so it is so important to be included in the hand creams I choose. It does my skin good... very good! Very impressed with the quality of this product and definitely would buy this again once I run out. Perlier also carries varieties of other luxury bath and body products that would make a perfect gift item for those you love! Can't wait to try their other products.
