Clean and Clear Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub...


Review:

So I was looking for an exfoliator and stumbled across Clean and Clear Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub. It was also a Self Magazine Beauty and Health Winner in 2008, so I figured it had to be worth a try. It is reasonably priced at about $5.00 so....

What Clean and Clear says:

HIGHLIGHTS

New! CLEAN & CLEAR® Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub is designed to invigorate skin by cleansing pores deep down and gently exfoliating surface skin. The CLEAN & CLEAR® Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub provides a tingly, cooling sensation as you gently massage the scrub on skin — the unmistakable, revitalizing feeling of a deep cleansing action.


WHAT'S IMPORTANT

The CLEAN & CLEAR® Deep Action Exfoliating Scrub cleanses deep down into pores, working to dissolve dirt, oil and impurities while exfoliating dead skin cells. The oil-free, refreshing formula includes: unique cooling agents that leave skin looking and feeling revitalized, a blend of specially sized micro-beads for gentle, effective exfoliation and cleansing, and Menthol to instantly rejuvenate skin



What I say:

Sure it gave me a fresh clean feeling and a nice tingle as well! But it didn't work that great fighting breakouts and blackheads. I'm not sure how great it did at exfoliating either. It has tiny micro beads used to exfoliate but they are gels so you don't feel like you are getting a deep down scrub. This is just my opinion...but if you are looking for a good exfoliator to stop break outs I would skip on this one. But if you are looking for a fresh clean feeling and a wake up in the am then this one is for you.

Herbal Essences Degunkify Deep Cleaning Shampoo...


I am just finsihing up my bottle of Herbal Essences Degunkify Deep Cleaning Shampoo and I wanted to share my experince with all of you :)

What Herbal Essences Says:

"Who needs a lot of extra baggage? lose the leftover gunk and ick of gels and sprays with my deep cleaning shampoo. clear your head with my invigorating, tingling suds made with a fusion of icy pineapple & cotton leaf. are you ready to squeak?"
What I say:

This Shampoo definatley left my hair feeling squeaky clean but I wasn't feeling much of a tingly sensation every time I used it. If I really scrubbed hard and built up a lots of bubbles on my scalp and kept at that for a couple minutes then I felt the rush of tingles. But otherwise...nothing! So I was a little disapointed in that but overall it cleans you hair wonderfully! I had no problem getting the product build up out of my hair! And I use alot of products! It's priced reasonably as well usually between $4.00-$5.00

How Often Should You Shampoo Your Hair???


Do you wonder how often you should shampoo? “It all depends on your scalp,” says Dr. Heidi A. Waldorf, director of laser and cosmetic dermatology at New York’s Mount Sinai Medical Center. “If it’s oily, or if you have dandruff or other issues, washing daily may be helpful. You also may want to shampoo more in summer. Otherwise, you can probably get away with as little as once a week.” To keep hair looking great between washes, celebs like Blake Lively use Oscar Blandi’s Pronto dry shampoo. Or like I have mentioned before Psssst works great too! Check out my past blog about it!

Keep Your Scent Longer...


Perfume Scent that is...
If you have problems keeping your perfume scent lasting past lunch time here are some tips that will keep your smelling pretty all day long!

"Spritz on fragrance immediately after showering. "Perfume absorbs better on damp skin," says Jan Moran, fragrance expert for Perfumania. And scent your hair- it holds on to aroma molecules even better than skin does. Shampoo with your perfume's matching shower gel, then use an unscented conditioner."

Sexy Motherpucker...



So this past weekend my friend Erin busted out her new lip gloss she bought from Target called Sexy motherpucker by Soap and Glory...she started explaining to me that it makes her lips feel like they are sleeping...hmmm...yes we were drinking but I had to see what she was talking about...so I tried her Sexy Motherpucker lip gloss and after about 5 minutes my lips were completely numb! Now were they 10x's more plump/full like the lip gloss claims...no I definitely did not have instant Angelina Jolie lips maybe a slight plump but nothing incredibly noticeable...but it sure was an experience! Overall I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking for an extreme lip plumper but it does have an awesome name and the colors are great as well...plus the lip numbing experience is kind of fun! hehehe
