Murad Time Release Acne Cleanser Review

                  Hello Clear Skin!

So, along with the AmorePacific Future Response cream (in my previous post), Murad’s Time Release Acne Cleanser is an important part of my skin care regimen. For as long as I have had acne, I have been using over-the-counter cleansers, mainly from Neutrogena. Obviously, they weren’t cutting it, so I next turned to proactive, that was a fail. So I turned to Sephora’s website to see what other people were recommending, rating and purchasing. I came across Murad Time Release Acne Cleanser as one of their top rated products. The reviews were great, it got 4.5 stars out of 5, and it was fairly inexpensive for a 6.75 oz bottle. I figured I might as well give it a try, since I have basically exhausted any other option. I also liked how it was anti-aging.. I’m only 23 but you can never start to early!

Murad’s Time Release Acne Cleanser delivered what it promised! My skin is clear and significantly less oily as well. Some people say that when you first start a new product you will “break out worse at first because it is cleaning out all the junk”. I haven’t necessarily experience that but if you try this product stick with it for a month, see what happens. What I love about purchasing at Sephora is that you can return anything you don’t like or doesn’t work for you!

This product is $30.00 at Sephora.

Smashbox Always Sharp Waterproof Kohl Liner Review

                 Thank you, Smashbox!

So, does any one else suck at applying eyeliner or is it just me? I put some serious effort into making it a nice clean line, but lets get real, it never comes out that way. I alwayssss have to have q-tips with me so I can clean it up. It never stays sharp, and when I do need to sharpen it, I break the tip a million times. . SO, when I was in Sephora in Pensacola, FL, and the sales girl comes up to me and says, “want to see something so cool?” how could I tell her no? So I follow her over to Smashboxs’ section and to my sadness she grabs the eyeliner. I’m thinking, this sucks I was hoping for something I would actually enjoy, BUT I judged too quickly.

Here’s the the deal: Smashbox has created an eyeliner that whenever you screw on and off the cap, it leaves your eyeliner perfectly sharp! On top of that, the eyeliner is waterproof so it stays put all day and doesn’t leave you with black eyes. Lastly, it glides on so easily is pathetic.

So, obviously, I purchased the eyeliner. I have blue eyes, I so decided to go with the color Penny Lane, which is a shimmery brown. My most recent purchase since I ran out is Sumatra (brown w/o shimmer).

This eyeliner sells in Sephora for $20.00, it’s a bit expensive for a pencil but it’s well worth it. Since you’re not breaking the tip and having to sharpen all the time, it lasts for a long time. I purchased mine at the end of March and I just ran out (3 months). In my eyes, it is definitely worth the $20.00.

AmorePacific Future Response Age Defense Creme Review

                        AmorePacific, luxury skin care.

My skintype: combination, very oily t-zone, constant t-zone breakouts For about 10 years I have been suffering from acne and damaged skin. I saw a dermatologist for years, spent countless amounts of money and time on different over-the-counter products. Nothing worked. Not even turning 23 worked! So I started doing research on Sephora about their most popular skin care products. AmorePacific Future Response Age Defense Creme was one of their recommended products to fight against environmental aggressors. I started reading the reviews and many people were in love with the product. In most cases, I read how it cleared up and balanced out their skin. I liked how the main formula is a green tea along with other natural substances. It comes in an interesting jar. Most people complained about it, I didn’t care much. Although, it does make you seem like there’s more product in there than there actually is. It also comes with a little wand applicator that I always use to ensure I’m not wasting product. The cream feels like velvet on your face. I apply a pea size amount, maybe a little larger, to my face and my skin glows. Some people complained about the smell, it didn’t phase me. So, I apply this cream morning and night. After about 2 weeks my skin had NEVER looked so good in my life. People, I am not exaggerating either. Here’s the problem: This miracle cream costs $195.00 at Sephora. My first jar lasted me about 5 months. Since it is so unbelievably expensive, I attempted to use one of AmorePacific’s less expensive creams, but my skin just went crazy and I broke out like the good old days. So I re-purchased the cream and this time I am being very careful about not wasting product.

Overall: This cream is amazing for those suffering from acne, redness and oily skin. It has balanced out my oil glands, shrunk my pores, eliminated redness, and cleared up my acne! I am in love and will forever be using this cream!

Frank Body review, babes

            So, have any of you heard of Frank Body? I sure as hell had no idea what it was. My lovely friend Jen (who somehow finds these mysterious products) asked me if I had "ever heard of Frank Body?! ALLLLLL the models use it. It's legit check out the Instagram page" (not in those exact works but you get the idea). So OBVIOUSLY I had to find out what this Frank scrub is all about. So as promised, their Instagram is full of sexy models covered in Frank, but also filled with 'before & after' photos. After dedicating a decent amount of time to stalking Frank on Insta, I moved onto the website. Which I'm obsessed with. It's super informative and makes you fall in love with the entire concept. I was screwed the second I laid eyes on it. How could you possibly not buy Frank after the first date? Anyone that's been on the website will know what I'm saying. www.FrankBody.com 

So here's a quick background in this mysterious Frank person. It's an Australian a coffee scrub with a sexy ego, pretty much. The whole point of this scrub is to diminish imperfections on your skin, such as cellulite, stretch marks, scars, psoriasis, eczema, varicose veins, and acne while softening your skin. There's three different types of Frank you can purchase: sweet almond & orange, coconut & grapeseed (which I purchased), and their newest scrub contains Cacao. The whole magic to Frank working is to let the coffee dry on your body for 5-10 minutes, then wash it off. Their very informative on the website, I read their entire FAQ section (I got a good laugh out of it). So after about 5 minutes of convincing myself that Frank can erase the stretch marks on my ass checks, I spent the $17.96 and bought my first packet of Frank Body. 

Forward three days----> Frank has arrived and let me tell you I have never been more excited to take a shower. When I first saw the packaging I thought it was adorable but impractical. I was concerned with wasting the product, which I did. You have to just dip your hand it and grab some Frank, if you have a small spoon or cup I would use that instead of your hand (like a measuring cup). I hopped in the shower (which is a must, it can get pretty messy!) and started rubbing the Frank on my bod! I was only going to use Frank on my bum (that's the only place I need it) but I grabbed more than I needed so I used it all over. I dropped, what felt like a ton, of Frank on the floor of the shower. Hopefully next time it'll go a bit smoother. So yeah, now  that Franks working his magic on your bod, you have to kill 10 minutes. Once the 10 minutes is up aka eternity, wash it off and your body will feel silky smooth, like you got an oil massage or something wonderful. Now, it sayssss you only need to use Frank 1-2 times a week. I think I'll start out with 3 times a week and go from there. So lovelies, I am only on week 1 of this review. I am reallyyyy hoping to come back in a couple weeks with some wonderful news on how Frank cures all our imperfections, because then I'll be just as happy as you! <3
