Scrub-a-dub (>^.^)> <(^.^<) ^(^.^)^ v(^.^)v

Oh yeah, I did an emoticon dance in the title.

Yep. That was fun.

OFF TO THE REVIEW -insert whooshie sounds-



Brand: Clinique

Product: Sparkle Skin, Body Exfoliating Cream
Cost: $25
Place of Purchase: Macy's
Uses: Body Exfoliate

Pros
-A lot of product for a fair price.
-Really gets down and smooths out skin.
-Clears out skin blemishes.

Cons
-Really large tub makes it hard to use in shower.
-Has a slight menthol smell to it.



I have dead skin cell build up on my arms and I've tried all sorts of exfoliators to try and reduce the amount of build up I get on my arms, but alas, nothing helped.

Then one day, I was talking about this issue with a co-worker and she was like "Hey, have you tried our body exfoliator?" and I was like "Wait, what? You have a body exfoliator?" And then, magic happened as I took home a small sample of it.

I bought it less than a week later.


I use it every two days in the shower and I use a Korean exfoliating mitt with it to really scrub my arms down. I also use it on my feet sometimes, depending. 

But in either case, I've seen a MAJOR reduction in skin build up and bumps on my arms. I couldn't be more thrilled and I love it so much. If you have the same problem as me, trust me, this is gonna be a miracle to your bumpy problem. ^_^

Be careful when using this product that you aren't working your skin too hard and that you're also using a really good moisturizer afterwards. This will prevent the skin from drying out or getting rough.


So, what have we learned?
Sometimes, talking about your skin issues at the cosmetic counters will get you answers to your many unasked questions.

Heh.

Anyway, until next time my lovelies.

Ahhhh, Moisture.

Once upon a time,
in a not so far away land...

Oh, lemme just say it. I don't drink enough water throughout the day. That is a fact and I am not ashamed because I am way too busy to keep track... (okay, and partially forgetful... a lot of forgetful)

My skin doesn't feel tight like dry skin normally would, it does feel like I could use some moisture but I know a moisturizer would be too heavy. I didn't really think about ways I could fix this problem other than drinking more water... Then, I saw it... One of the best products I ever bought.



Brand: Clinique

Product: Moisture Surge, Face Spray
Cost: $22
Place of Purchase: Macy's

This spray is amazing because it refreshes your skin instantly. It's pretty portable, though I did make a miniature. It's nice before makeup or after and throughout the day if you feel you need the added moisture.

Pros: 
-Incredibly refreshing.
-Light moisture
-Can be put on after makeup.
-Does not require any further steps than just misting over your face.
-Vitamins and nutrients that are delivered easily to your skin.

Cons: 
-The bottle is not purse size and does not come in a purse size. 
-Because of the spray range, sometimes you feel you sprayed too much, or too little and end up spraying more.

I recommend this product to people who:
-Have dry skin
-Have dehydrated skin
-Oily but dry patches throughout the day due to climate change/external factors.

This is one of my FAVORITE products. I adore it and think it was a great investment. The Clinique counters always have a tester of this. So if you ever walk by the counter and would like to give it a try, just ask and feel for yourself the moisture. 

I give it 4.5/5 stars. 

As always, if you have any products you'd like me to review or have inquiries, please email me at: morbidmolly151@yahoo.com

Until next time, Lovelies.
