Christophe Robin Cleansing Purifying Scrub Review


I am so excited to try out this shampoo scrub! You can buy the full size of this product at Sephora for $53.

This is a detoxifying shampoo enriched with sea salt to cleanse and soothe while hydrating. It is used to soothe the scalp, remove product and buildup, and relieves itchiness. It is good for all hair types. 

This shampoo was unlike anything I had ever used before. It is a thick and gritty formula but it emulsifys into a really great lather. It got rid of all build up leaving my hair very clean and soft.

Aveeno Facial Reviews


The first facial is a 60 second in-shower facial. You can purchase it for $6.79 at Target. 

This is an oil- free treatment that works with the steam of your shower to deeply but gently exfoliate. It claims to transform skin into brighter, naturally radiant and velvety soft skin in just one minute. 

This facial has a light fresh scent and did everything it claimed. It was a very gentle exfoliation living my skin looking brighter and feeling very soft. 

The second facial is an overnight hydrating facial. You can purchase it for $14.99 at Target. 

This is a non- greasy facial treatment that hydrates and nourishes your skin while you sleep. It claims you will wake up to skin soft, smooth and supple. It is lightweight, fast absorbing and hypoallergenic. 

This facial had a floral scent and it absorbed very quickly without leaving a sticky residue which I appreciate not having at bedtime. My skin was very soft when I woke up and the softness lasted for several days. 

Would I purchase? Yes

Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Review


You can purchase the full size of this product for $52 at Nordstrom.

This is a cream that reduces appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and claims to leave skin silky, hydrated and youthful looking.

This mask uses two white clays that draw out excess sebum and impurities from skin. It also claims to hydrate, soothe skin, strengthen skins moisture barrier and protect against aggressors. It claims to leave skin cleansed, more comfortable and matified. It is also paraben free. 

This mask smelled so bad! It worked really well though. My skin looked amazing after using it and it did not dry my skin out. It also got rid of a massive pimple I had.

Raw Sugar Body Wash Review


You can purchase this body wash for $5.24 at Target and I believe there are 3 different scents. 

This body was is made from natural coconut and plant- based blend for pure skin nutrition. It is a gentle body wash that cleans, revieves and brightens tired skin.

You can purchase the full size of this face toner at Walgreens for $22. 

This toner claims to be anti- shine and purifying. It is specifically designed for oily- prone Skin. It should leave your skin with a matte texture and a refreshing feeling.

Acure Pore Clarifying Red Clay Mask Review


You can purchase this mask at Target for $14.99. 

This mask uses Moroccan red clay to help draw out impurities while the organ stem cells hydrate and tone. This mask is designed to give you a brighter more glowing complexion. 

This is by far the worst mask I have ever used! Please keep in mind that just because it did not work for me, does not mean it will not work for you. 
This mask smelled like mud and is a blood red clay mask. For myself it stained my very fair skin bright red and I had to use multiple scrubs with my clarisonic to get the color off which was very frustrating. This mask did nothing for me. 

Would I purchase? No

Pūr-lisse BB Review

You can purchase this BB Cream Here for $35. There are 3 different shades.

This is a beauty balm that goes on like tinted moisturizer yet has all the benefits of a foundation and BB cream. It claims to improve skin's appearance and retain moisture to create a glowing complexion.

This BB cream is very light coverage and is slightly greasy. It was a nice color that complimented my skin tone. The downside is that it caused me to break out.

Would I purchase? No

Juice Organics Review


You can purchase the full size of this shampoo and conditioner at Target for $9.99 each. 

The shampoo and conditioner claim to help you achieve thicker, fuller hair with more body and weightless volume.

This shampoo and conditioner has a light fruity scent and it very light which is great for my fine hair. Unfortunately, my hair was very frizzy after using this. I ended up having to use a bunch of styling products to get my hair to look half way decent. 

Would I purchase? No
