*Current Favourite Skin Products (for face)*

Mask of Magnaminty 


This mask is amazing.  Nicole Guerriero and Jaclyn Hill raved about this product and I decided to give it a try.

This is not a “daily” face wash.  It is a deep cleansing face AND back wash. 

The mask contains aduki beans to exfoliate the skin, vanilla absolute to calm redness and honey to soothe.  It also contains bentonite gel to deeply clean your pores and tighten your skin.

This mask smells just like peppermint and leaves your face feeling tingly after each use.

*Suitable for all skin types*

Dark Angels Facial Cleanser 



When I went get the Mask of Magnaminty, I also purchased this daily facial cleanser.  It is meant for oily skin and blemishes.  It works beautifully on my skin! 

This cleanser is made with black sugar and charcoal (giving it the black color).  This cleanser absorbs all the excess oil on my face and leaves it feeling matte and fresh.

The avocado oil in this cleanser brightens my skin and leaves it feeling smooth.

Definitely a must try for those with oily skin.

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub 



I have never in my life had to deal with acne, thanks to wonderful genetics.

However, to my dismay, I recently started breaking out!  I woke up one morning with one massive pimple on my cheek and felt the pain of another one on its way.

I rushed to the drugstore and scoped out the ACNE section, 28yrs old and my first time having to deal with pimples….I was a wreck!

I came across this face wash, and I had heard many YouTube beauty gurus speak about this product.  I had nothing to lose so I picked it up hoping for a miracle.

Low and behold, after simply ONE use before bed that night, I woke up with not a pimple in sight!!!
This stuff is a miracle.  It contains salicylic acid and smells wonderful.  You can feel how smooth it makes your skin as you are using it.  This has become my holy-grail face wash. 

I still use my Lush cleanser, however, when your skin gets used to a product, the product doesn’t work to its fullest potential. 

This product is oil-free, so just like the Dark Angels cleanser; it does a great job maintaining my oily skin.

PONDS Exfoliating Renewal Wet Cleansing Towelettes 




While I was on the hunt for a new face wash, I was also there to stock up on my face wipes.  I usually buy the balea wipes, but right beside them I saw the Ponds wipes which happened to be on sale.  I got a value pack (2 packages) for $7.99.  That’s two for the price of one!  Each package has 30 wipes, where the Balea one is $7.99 for 56 wipes.

I have heard beauty gurus speak about Ponds wipes before but never tried them, but since they were on sale, I figured what better time?

I purchased the Citrus Cucumber scent, and let me tell you, the scent is very refreshing.

The cloths are really soft and have tiny orange beads on one side to gently exfoliate your skin.  These wipes do a great job at removing makeup and they don’t burn your eyes!
These wipes will definitely be a repurchase for me.

L’Oreal Youth Code Texture Perfector Serum 



If you don’t buy anything I recommended in this post, do yourself a favor and at least buy this product and your skin will forever be thankful.  This serum is miracle in a bottle!

This product is meant for all skin types.  The serum refines pores and fine lines while leaving your skin velvety smooth.  I apply this serum every night before bed to my face and down to my neck.   Trust me as soon as you apply this, your face will be baby soft.  And in the morning, you will definitely see and feel a difference in your skin.

It is somewhat pricey for a drugstore product at $24.99.  However, I promise you that you will not regret this purchase.  A little goes a long way with this stuff, so although it may look like a lot of product, one bottle will last you a very long time.

If you have dry skin, you can definitely double this as your primer and your foundation will go on flawlessly.  Unfortunately, my oily skin only got oily twice as fast when I paired this with my foundation.
I also want to mention that the serum has a very pleasant scent, I cannot describe it but I do like it.  I also love the packaging! 

Korres Pomegranate Balancing Cream-Gel Moisturiser 


This is my daily moisturiser and a very good one to say the least.  It is very lightweight and fresh when you applied to your face.
It instantly brightens, reduces redness and mattifies.  It does a great job keeping me from getting excessively oily and keeps my skin smooth and hydrated.
This moisturizer is specifically for oily to combination skin types.
I have repurchased this and am on my second jar now and moving on to my third.  You can find Korres at Sephora and Shoppers DrugMart.
