ELF Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara

Elf Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara

We've all heard the saying "the brows are the windows to our face". I truly do believe that a well groomed brow can truly amp up your look.  I've found myself getting more and more into brow grooming, and caring about the way my brows look. I recently stumbled onto this product at Target, and bought it right away after glancing at the price, which was only $1. Right away I figured it was worth a try, after all there is not that much to lose. I must say that I am absolutely in love with this product, and find myself not wanting to leave my house without it. This product is for absolutely anyone who has unruly brows. The concept for this product is much like gel that you would use to get hold in your hair, it's just for your brows and lashes. It claims that "The Lash Applicator strengthens and Curls" and "The Brow applicator defines and grooms". I also adore the lash side to this product as well, it just gives you a look of "your lashes...but better". It definitely gives you the look of longer lashes. It's just like a mascara but without the color.  I don't find that this product leaves any type of visible product behind after application. This is essentially a two sided mascara tube. One end is clearly labeled brows, and the other is labeled lashes. There are separate wands for both sides of the product.

PRODUCT CLAIMS: 

• Creates healthy looking lashes and brows instantly.
• Safe, Gentle Formula. 
• Instantly beautiful, healthy-looking eyes designed, formulated and tested by our professional team of makeup artists.

PRODUCT DIRECTIONS:

• Gently apply the Eyelash formula to lashes from root to tip. Wear alone or over mascara. Apply the Eyebrow formula to brows to set and shape. Remove with soap and water.

WARNINGS:

I love this product, and will never be without it. I love the fact that its fully effective and affordable, as well as a multi-purpose product. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to amp up the look of their lashes with out the darkening effect of a regular mascara, or anyone who has unruly brows and want's something to keep them in place. You can pick up this product in the cosmetic section of Target for $1. You can also find it online at www.target.com. You can can also head on over to Elf's website to find out more about the product, or purchase it there (www.eyeslipsface.com). Thank you so much for taking the time to read my review.

Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser

I have always been very particular when it comes to facial cleansers, mainly because my skin is very sensitive and prone to break outs. When your skin has special issues it can be very hard to find the cleanser that is right for you. After many of years searching for the "right one" I have finally settled into using the "Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser". I use the cleanser both morning and night with my Clarisonic Mia 2. This cleanser can be incorporated into your skincare routine regardless of your personal cleansing method. I tend to have an oily completion, and I feel that this cleanser does its job without over drying, and without leaving me still over oily. This particular brand of cleanser comes in "NORMAL TO OILY SKIN", "NORMAL TO DRY", and also a "GENTLE SKIN CLEANSER".

You can learn more about this product line, and cleanser at http://www.cetaphil.com/.

Just a tid bit of information from this products website(listed above):

Cetaphil® Daily Facial Cleanser won’t clog pores!

Cetaphil® Daily Facial Cleanser is effective for normal, combination or oily skin. Its non-irritating formula is designed to remove surface oils, dirt and makeup without leaving skin feeling tight or overly dry. This non-comedogenic, low-foaming skin cleanser leaves skin with a fresh feeling and won't leave behind an irritating residue.

Product Ingredient List:

Water, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, acrylates/steareth-20 methacrylate copolymer, glycerin, PEG-200 hydrogenated glyceryl palmate, sodium laureth sulfate, butylene glycol, PEG-7 glyceryl cocoate, phenoxyethanol, masking fragrance, panthenol, PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil, disodium EDTA, methylparaben.

I would recommend anyone who is in the market for a great quality cleanser from the drugstore, to check this one out! Especially if you have oily sensitive skin, I would give this one a try! I'm totally in love with this one and plan to continue using it. You can purchase this product at most drugstores, and many places online such as www.walmart.com, www.walgreens.com, or www.ulta.com. This product is available in many different sizes. It has a very pleasant clean scent, but no type of fragrance that would be irritating to the skin. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my review. If you have any questions for me, leave them below.

L'Oréal~Oleo Therapy Perfecting Oil Essence

If you have read any of my previous reviews on hair oils, then you know that I am a hair oil fanatic! In my opinion if you find the proper hair oil for your specific type of hair, you will be left with amazing results that will have you hooked.  I have tried a wide range of hair oils, from high end oils to lower end oils. While this hair oil is a drugstore brand product, it is in the higher range in terms of price when compared to other drugstore items. This particular hair oil is from a quite new family of products in the drugstore. There is also a shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, and hot oil treatment in the "Oleo Therapy Family". I have oily tried the oil and the hair mask(review to come). I must say that I fell in love with this hair oil from the very first use.

Here is some more information about the product from its website(http://www.lorealparisusa.com/):

Description: OleoTherapy Perfecting Oil Essence is a sensorial restorative treatment formulated with a 6 precious flower oils. This new perfect oil smooths each strand for silky shine and softness.

Ingredients:1041662 Eo3 Ingredients: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Parfum/Fragrance, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Argania Spinosa Oil/Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Cocos Nucifera Oil/Coconut Oil, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal, Chamomilla Recutita Extract/Matricaria Flower Extract, Isoeugenol, Gardenia Tahitensis Flower Extract, Rosa Canina Flower Extract, Linalool, Nelumbium Speciosum Extract/Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Extract, Linum Usitatissimum Flower Extract, Carrot Oil/Beta-carotene. F.I.L. # D162520/2

How To Use: DIRECTIONS: Apply 1-2 pumps evenly on damp or dry hair. Do not rinse. Style as usual.

This product comes in a heavy glass bottle, that is a golden color. The smell of the product is quite floral, but I don't think it would bother you if you are sensitive to smells (the smell does dissipate after application). In my opinion the smell is quite nice (it does not bother me, and I'm not really that sensitive to smells). This oil leaves my hair feeling conditioned, smooth, and soft without weighing it down. This oil is very light. However, I wouldn't over use it.  In many other reviews that I have read on this product, many people claim that it is a "dupe" for "Kerastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil". I cant speak to this claim because i have not yet used "Kerastase Elixir Ultime Hair Oil". This product will cost you about $12.99. I was able to find it on sale at CVS, and got a few dollars off. You can buy this product, and learn more about it at: www.lorealparisusa.com. This product can also be purchased at Ulta (www.ulta.com), at CVS (www.cvs.com), online in many other places, and in many stores. I absolutely love this hair oil, and hope to try many more of the products from the line in the future. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my review. If you have any questions or comments please leave them below. Have a GREAT DAY!
