Hi loves,
It's been a while since I last posted. I've been a hard working bee for the past month and haven't had the time to sit down and post. But here I am, catching up on social media life. In the midst of all these work, I have found time to shop for beauty products, and I here I am sharing my favorite products for the month of September and the beginning of October. Hope you enjoy the review and find it useful! Below I will leave the links to find these products.
Let's start with the cleanser. The smell, OH, the smell! Think of lathering your face in banana cream pie. The smell is not so sweet that it overwhelms you, something that I often find in fruit-scented products. As far as the effects on my skin... I can't really judge yet, as I started using it a few days ago. The product has a creamy and dense consistency, and you only need a little amount. It lathers nicely and your skin feels clean after using it, though not super clean. On the negative side, I have sensitive combination skin, and after using the product I found my skin a little bit tighter and drier. So, the jury is still out on this amazingly scented product...
The hair mayo is branded as one of their best selling products. Once again, I fell flat for the smell and the ingredients: Egg yolk and shea butter. It reminds me of Egg Nog! The jury is also still out on this product, as I have yet to try it...
2. Boscia Luminizing Black Mask
What can I say about this product that haven't been said yet? Its simply exquisite! I have trouble finding suitable peeling masks for my skin because its so sensitive. But my skin is definitely appreciative of this Boscia mask that will make you look like a Ninja when you are wearing it! After using it, my skin feels very very clean, soft, fresh, and brighter. However, I find I have to use more than a decent amount of product to cover my skin well, and to be able to peel it later. Its the only negative comment I have about this otherwise fabulous product!
3. Korres Wild Rose+VitaminC Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial
I suffered acne for most of my teenage and young adulthood years. Luckily for me, my skin started clearing in my very late twenties. To treat my acne, I had to use prescription products, and usually those are harsh to the skin, with some even causing discoloration and uneven tones. Because of this I've had to use brightening, "even your skin tone" masks in my adult years. This mask does this marvelously! It brightens and evens out the skin tone, and considering rose-based facial products tend to dry my skin, this one works beautifully. The products also works for dark spots, but since I don't have very visible dark spots, I can't vouch for its effect in treating these.
4. John Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Salt Spray
I was a huge fan of the Frederic Fekkai Summer Hair Sea Salt Spray because it kept my "man-made" curls soft and intact. I have a thick straight hair, and its quite hard to curl. I stopped buying it because it was a bit expansive, and I wasn't using it that much in the fall and winter days in NYC. But now that I moved back to Puerto Rico, I twist and coil my hair and let it air dry at night very often. So, I needed to find an inexpensive sea salt spray, and I found the John Frieda one. I tried it for the first time last week, and everyone at work commented on how much they loved the look! The curls stayed strong for two full days! Plus, it smells very beach-y.
Where to Buy these products:
The John Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Salt Spray you can find at any drugstore or beauty store
The Tony Moly Banana Foam Cleanser you can buy via eBay, their NYC store, or through another online venue
