This could be the most effective makeup remover you've ever tried. Experience radiant skin by discovering why this product is beloved by millions of people around the globe. This amazing olive oil cleanser dissolves pore-clogging dirt and makeup with ease, leaving skin feeling refreshed. $28
Okay, no matter what the season is, I tend to have oily skin, and clogged pores too...so how would adding more oil on top of my skin make it look better? I don't know, but I do know that this DHC Deep Cleansing Oil is a worldwide best-seller for a reason - it works!!! After a long day, with residual make-up piled up, all it takes is a small drop of this Deep Cleansing Oil to truly cleanse the skin (applied dryly) and remove excess make-up, dirt, pollutants etc. thoroughly. I had to test the claims and applied it on cakey foundation, waterproof mascara and all-day eyeshadow - and everything came off! I was amazed. Even more so, my skin looked brighter and more radiant immediately afterwards and even to the next morning. It is luxurious feeling, but also affordable in my opinion, and is definitely a worthwhile cleanser to use a couple of times a week to deeply penetrate the skin...you'll feel like you're treating yourself to an intense mini-spa with all the glowing after effects! This is a great cleanser to switch up your normal routine for that added boost! I know for me, my skin looks much brighter, clearer and radiant as a result, with a healthy glow!
Sultana Says: As you all know, I have oily and acne prone skin. Just like Trish, I was petrified to try an oil cleanser. As skeptical as I was, I tried this not expecting the best results. I am so glad I tried this because I was so impressed. This cleanser (if used the right way) will unclog all your pores and make your face the cleanest its ever been. A little goes a long way, use sparingly for and make sure to rub into your skin until it turns white.
I guarantee you will be happy with this product. Its like no cleanser I have ever tried. Since I have been using it, my face appears much brighter and my pores look less clogged.
Hillary says: I've been using oil cleansers for years as they are wonderful for both dry and oily skin (don't ask me how that is, but it's true). "Cleansing oil with oil, it makes no sense." you say, but trust me, this product leaves your face as soft as a baby's bottom with unclogged pores and a radiant glow. It is the best cleanser for when your face is dry; it's the only rinse off cleanser I can use during the dry winter months when my face becomes as dry as Gandhi's flip flop. I recently found out that I suffer from dandruff on my face and this oil cleanser greatly reduces the amount of flaking I experience. I'm so happy with it, I can see it being my go-to cleanser for years to come. You may have heard about the Shu Uemura Oil Cleansers, but at a less expensive price point, the DHC cleanser delivers just as well if not better. You don't even need a separate eye make-up remover, this oil does it all. Okay, so I'm a bit overzealous about it, but when you find a HG (Holy Grail) product, you tend to get excited. Try it- you won't regret it.

Review - Murad Skin Perfecting Acne Primer and Shine Control
Why you need it:Acne-fighting formula evens and refines skin tone to create a smooth matte finish.
Primary Benefits:Control acne breakouts, reduce oil and minimize appearance of pores. Universal shade provides the perfect skin tone match. $35 1.0OZ
I have very oily/acne-prone and sensitive skin. I need a primer that has multiple target areas and this skin perfecting primer from Murad definitely is a multi-tasker. It has 0.5% salicylic acid to fight acne and Pore Factor-5 to minimize pores and balances oil.
I was very impressed with this. I applied it before I put on my foundation and it created a very matte and refined surface. I went all day without any annoying shine. My pores appeared smaller and that is a HUGE plus for me. I have been using it non-stop for the past two weeks.
One of my favorite things about this product, is that it comes in one universal shade that is suitable for all skin types and colors. It blends well with my darker skin tone. If you have acne and oily skin, this is will work for you.
I think Murad's products are great, but not only for your skin; they are great because Dr. Murad gives back. They support several organizations through the Murad Family Foundation. When you purchase products from them, you are supporting a good cause.

PRITI
SOY NAIL POLISH REMOVER WIPES - 10 Count
Priti Soy Polish Remover Wipes are
100% Readily Biodegradable.
It is non-toxic
and not carcinogenic. It is derived from farm crops
and does not
contain any petroleum ingredients. $9.99
I first learned about Priti NYC when I went to an Environmentally friendly event a few years ago. They were doing mini manicures and I fell in love with their flower themed polishes. The founder, Kim D'Amato created the line when she was pregnant so she could continue to be beautiful without the harsh chemicals in everyday products. All of Priti's nail products are eco-friendly and non-toxic.
The soy nail polish remover is really awesome. It is infused with essential oils and natural soybean which leaves your nails moisturized, conditioned and nourished. After using a few of these, I noticed my nails were stronger and also grew a little. You will be pleasantly surprised when you notice there is no harsh scent.
These wipes come in a biodegradable muslin bag and there is a quantity of 10. The wipes are generously filled with remover, and will successfully remove all ten fingers/toes with using just one.
This little sack is the perfect way to test out the remover before committing to purchasing a full bottle. I am already hooked and never want to use regular nail polish remover again!
Have a look at Priti NYC's website Priti NYC to learn more about their products.

Review- Murad Hydrate for Hope Set
From the Hydrate for Hope Set, Murad will donate 10% of the sales to City of Hope's breast and women's cancers research, treatment and education programs.
The three-piece Hydrate for Hope set (a limited-edition) from Murad includes a pink cosmetics bag, the Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture Eye Cream (.12 oz), and the Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisturizer (1.7 oz). This is a super convenient set for travel or on-the-go purposes, yet the moisturizer comes in a nice full size. The eye cream is one of the smoothest creams I've tested. It really cools and soothes the eye area and amazingly conceals under eye bags and the effects of stress! I had the flu the past week, but you couldn't tell from this eye cream.
The moisturizer is very rich, nourishing and creamy and lasts throughout the day. It will definitely hydrate the skin and give a really smooth appearance - a bonus for those looking to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles - this will do it.
The best part, of course, is that it supports a worthy cause by donating a portion of its proceeds to City of Hope's all cancer research for women, making the set a lovely gift for someone close to you or even a gift to yourself to help another!
Other ways to support Women's Cancer research: Murad will donate $1 for every like on Facebook (Murad), Follow @MuradCares or Tweet #Murad4Hope or post on Pinterest with #Murad4Hope.

Review- Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Soothing Lotion
This summer, I have been breaking out a lot, perhaps from a combination of the heat and humidity. There were definitely many days when I wanted to wear as little as possible as far as moisturizers, foundation and powder goes. The nicest part about Neutrogena's Ultra Gentle Soothing Lotion was that I didn't need to skip the moisturizer because it was so soft on the skin and non-irritating. I do have sensitive skin and for the more sensitive types, this is a safe and highly moisturizing facial lotion to wear. It is thickly rich and nourishing, so for those with dry skin - this moisturizer will hydrate surely! I can be a bit oily over the summer (acck!) so this formula was a little dense for me, but on days when I needed to wear some moisturizer and was afraid of another allergic breakout, this was the one product I could actually wear that didn't aggravate my skin! Despite any noticeable heaviness, my skin looked much softer and clearer for it! Because of that, I couldn't complain and would highly recommend it as a nice moisturizer for those who have dry, sensitive skin and are prone to allergic breakouts. This moisturizer is a pretty safe one that will nourish your skin back!
Sultana Says: I also have issues with breakouts and sensitive/oily skin. I agree with Trish that this is a little richer than I am used to, however it surprisingly did not cause me to break out. It made my skin softer and smoother and a little bit brighter.
I love Neutrogena because they are affordable and make an array of products for all skin types. I always have at least one Neutrogena skin care product in my daily regimen. Now that I now this one is just as gentle as the others, its a keeper!

ALOE VERA known to soothe and condition
NO DYES

Hypoallergenic
Noncomedogenic
Yeah! Simple... Sometimes all a gal wants is a straightforward and clean facial wipe or cleanser, and this gentle Exfoliating Facial Wipe really is effective. As noted before, my skin breaks out way too easily from certain products and when I'm in the midst of a breakout (like now!!), all I can actually handle is something uncomplicated and pure feeling. Simple's basic goodness delivers on its promises and I am able to use this exfoliating facial wipe without irritating my skin, yet cleansing it thoroughly in the process. The facial wipes are noticeably thick with gentle exfoliating ridges to really clear deeply and the formula does feel clean and nurturing against the skin. I don't know if I notice much of an exfoliating glow after using the wipes, but my skin is much clearer and softer as a result and when you're breaking out and can't use much on the skin, these wipes have become much of a skin-saver for me. And I am thankful that with sensitive skin, I can use something so highly effective without adding any more irritants to the skin. For those of us who have sensitive skin, the Simple line may just be the right solution! Definitely worth a try!

Review - Face Stockholm Lash Boosting Mascara
Lash Booster
OUR NEW LASH-EXTENDING MASCARA!
Get noticeably longer, thicker and fuller lashes after only one day of use!
This revolutionary, strengthening and lengthening mascara with Booster Complex – a blend of rich vegetable waxes and polymers – nourishes and stimulates the growth of eyelashes.
Use Lash Booster as your everyday mascara for at least 60 consecutive days and get clinically-proven, measurable results: lashes up to 1.5 mm longer and 15% fuller! $34
You all know from my previous posts, that I love a good mascara. Mascara with a growth formula to boot, makes it that much better. FACE Stockholm is one of those classic companies that manage to come out with new goodies to keep with the trends.
I am used to bigger brushes, but this one had a normal sized brush. I instantly got longer and thicker lashes after applying. The formula goes on smooth without any clumping. Two coats will do. Also make sure the coats are thin, even coats. My lashes felt extremely conditioned and glossy even after I washed it off later that night.
The price is $34, but remember you are paying for the mascara AND the lash booster. So the price makes perfect sense.
Hillary says:
I too, love this mascara. It goes on super smoothly, not to watery, not too thick. And I am all about the lash boosting products. Anything that can help my puy lashes is great in my book and so far, this mascara delivers. Just by applying it my lashes look boosted- I'll have to get back to you to let you know if it helps my lashes grow as it is not supposed to be magic, but gradual over a couple of weeks. I've been using it for about four days, so I'll write in a couple of weeks as to whether my lashes are longer or not. But as far as using it as just a mascara, it's a really great one.

Review - Pureology Precious Oil Versatile Caring Oil
Key Ingredients
OLEO ® ANTI-FADE COMPLEX:
- Equalize porosity
- Restore manageability
- Replenish the protective lipid layer
- Enhance colour vibrancy
Offering the utmost respect to colour-treated hair and
the environment, Precious Oil contains 100% biodegradable ingredients and is a
paraben-and silicone-free formula, earning it the prestigious Green Seal™
certification.
Pureology is one of my favorite brands. Precious Oil by Pureology is break through technology. Not only is it versatile, but its also the FIRST Green Seal Certified 100% Biodegradable formula. It is good for your hair and skin AND the environment.
This oil is a multi-tasker that can be used in a variety of ways:
Detangling
Anti-Frizz
Curl Revitalizing
Silky conditioning
Skin softening
The best part of this oil is that it helps preserve your color treated hair, which is a plus. A lot of hair products are filled with chemicals that break down your hair. This product is gentle and natural.
My favorite thing about Pureology's products, is the way they smell. Precious oil smells like a beautiful vanilla/caramel dessert. After I take a shower and I put a bit on my hair, I also put some on my body. It makes your hair and skin super smooth and silky but also smelling yummy.
It will run you about $40 for a 4.2 oz bottle and $12 for a 1oz. I have the bigger bottle and I have been using it everyday for about two weeks and there is more than 3/4 of the bottle left. Its worth the money to me because you are not going to be using this on just your hair or just your body. You are going to be using it for both. Quality products that protect you and our earth are worth a couple extra bucks if you ask me!

Review- Butter London Teddy Girl Nail Polish
I truly love pink nail polishes! Even more when the shade is the pretty sort of pink. Lately I've been seeing butter London nail lacquers everywhere and am really glad I had a chance to try their Teddy Girl shade, a powdery bumble-gum pink. It's my favorite color, light and soft, and reminds me of the understated, but classy and sophisticated look of a french-style manicure.
On my first coating, it streaked just a little, maybe it was the lightness of the color, but by the second coating, the color's consistent form started to set and a solid finish was easy to achieve. It does dry evenly and rather quickly too and the overall look is soft and pretty with a light shininess. It's also nice to know that there's no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP in their formulas - just a lovely color in a straightforward and fashionable shade!
