Product review: Neutrogena make-up remover cleansing towelettes

Hi everyone,

I hope your doing well, last week we went on a trip and while shopping I decided to pick Neutrogena cleansing towelettes. I need a make up remover and has been wanting to try this brand. I got the sample pack with 7 pre-moistened towelettes.

Product claim:
Ultra soft cloths gently dissolve all traces of makeup even waterproof mascara.
Gentle, ultra soft cloths offer you superior cleansing and make-up removal
Gentle and effectively dissolve all traces of dirt, oil and make-up.
Patent pending technology is so effective it easily removes waterproof mascara.
Leaves skin thoroughly clean with no heavy residue, so theres no need to rinse.
Gentle enough to use around sensitive eye area, even for contact lens wearers.

Product experience
I used the towelettes at night and I just wipe away my eye make up, eyeliner and mascara and whatever face make I have on. It did dissolve my eye make up especially my very stubborn UD 24/7 glide on eyeliner, but it took some swiping. It didn't sting my eyes, but some parts of my face was stinging instead. Also the cloths were very scratchy.

Pros
Convenient for travelling, comes premoistened cloths and that's all you need to clean your face of any make up and dirt. No need to bring a seperate bottles of make up remover and face cleanser.
Easy to use you just need one cloth.
Price it's cheap and doesn't waste any products.
Can be purchased at target or any drugstores.

Cons:
The towelettes is very scratchy.
The cleansing product stung my skin.
The towelettes can dry out I don't know how good the packaging is on the full size since I only tried the travel pack.

I liked the convinience this product gave me but when I used it it stung my skin and the towelettes themselves were so scratchy I almost felt I was exfoliating my skin.
I don't recommend this at all.

product review: Ghassool L'Eau De Rose Purifying Paste

Hi everyone,
I hope your having a good memorial weekend today I will be reviewing a product that I am much in love with.This product is quite interesting and amazing smells great too. We all know that slouching of dead skin cells is necessary to maintain beautiful skin. Taking away dead skin cells allows for any serums or skin treatments we use to penetrate the skin more easily by breaking that dead skin barrier. I think I have tried quite a few scrubs in the past. All them leaving my skin dry and tight. Some can be blamed for the acne medications that's in medication or some chemical in the product.Ghassool L'Eau De Rose Purifying Paste is an amazing scrub and mask all in one product.

Product claims:
100% Natural. Purify your skin for an incredibly healthy glow using ancient lava clay from Morocco's Atlas Mountains.

Formed deep within the Atlas Mountains millions of years ago, this clay developed amazing detoxing, healing and softening properties.

Product experience:
I use this product once a week. It has clay and very fine particles of volcanic rocks as a face scrub. After I finished cleansing my face I just spread a dime size on to my face let it set for 5-10 minutes to set then wash it off. The product looks dry but spreads easily of the face. This scrub has a high percentage of oil. Has an intoxicating rose oil scent but doesn't linger after you have washed it off. This leaves my skin feeling very very soft after washing. This product does not sting, or burn the skin at all.

product sample

Pros:
Very fine scrub or leave it on as a mask
Spreads easily you only need a little bit
Scent had natural rose oil
Very hydrating
Can be used for the body as the face
Price $22 for 9 oz bottle
Eco-friendly packaging

Cons
Packaging you have to dip into the product with fingers
The scent rose oil can be cloying
Availability can only be purchased online

I definitely recommend this product, I love that rose oil scent and it leaves my skin feeling so soft and smooth. Plus this makes my pore strips work even better I find a lot more gunk stuck on the strip after I use this on my face. You get a lot of product but you only need a small amount. It's also great for your entire body.

Product review: Airspun loose face powder

Hi everyone,

I hope that your having a wonderful day. Today I will be reviewing Airspun loose face powder. I know you this brand at most drugstore. It comes in round plastic tub with an orange top. I needed a good setting powder and decided to try this product.
Airspun packaging

Product claims
Featuring an exclusive micro spun formula where loose powder particles are spun and swirled until they reach a cloud like softness. This ultra smooth powder hides tiny lines, wrinkles and blemishes and gives a new softness to your skin. Use to set make-up or as a foundation. Long lasting.
Product experience
I used this product while on vacation, I bought because it was on sale at CVS at the time. It set my makeup and took away the shine on my face. I did not use this as foundation
powder puff and product

Pros:
Easy to use comes with a puff but you can use a powder brush to apply it.
Availability can be purchased at drugstore.
Price on sale for $9.00 but you get 2.3 oz or 65 grams.

Cons:
The product smells strongly of regular baby powder and medicine.
The packaging feels cheap. The cap doesn't twist on. I keep forgetting and I keep twisting to to get the cap on or off.
Comes with a limited color variety. So far I have only see 3 and I bought the translucent face powder.
The powder puff it comes in is cheap looking

All in all it's a good product it's cheap and widely available. The only thing that annoys me is the scent. It's a strong baby powder and medicine scent. Once it's on your face you won't notice it.

Urban decay 24/7 glide on shadow pencil

Hi everyone,

I hope you having a great day, just got off work and relaxing right. Today I decided to review the urban decay 24/7 glide on shadow pencils. I will say I love urban decay eyeliner pencils and eye shadows.
What I have is a set I got this at Nordstorms racks for $11.97 I saw it and I just had to have it. Price is cheap too for a set of UD color pens. What I have in the set is a travel size it's not the full size but I think it's still a great value because you get 5 different colored pencils. You get delinquent a shimmery purple color, rehab a dark brown shimmer color, juju a light brown champagne color, sin shimmery pink champagne color and clash shimmer teal blue color. This eye shadow pencils come in a wide variety of colors. So far mostly shimmery but that's UD is known for. Hopefully when the products expand UD will create matte shadow sticks as well.
The product is very creamy and just like the eyeliner pencils, when this shadow sets, it is not moving unless you want to take this off. I tried it on my eye when I went to my uncle's dinner gala it lasted the whole night and some dancing and sweating a good 7 hrs with out budging. My eye make up lasted through out the night.

If you want to purchase the set I got this from nordstroms racks. I think they are sold out of this set for the moment. Also I found this on hautelook.com but you have to check it for the UD. If you want a full size of this shadow pencils you can purchase them at sephora I think they sell for $18 or urbandecay.com
