Cleansers | Skincare

I am always testing out a new cleanser. I love finding new skincare loves and like to share my experience/results with you guys. That's why I started sharing each of them on my Skincare Sunday's on my YouTube channel. I always (ALWAYS) want to say how different everyones skin is and how different everyone skin needs are too. What works for me might not work for you, what works for you might not work for me, and that's okay. I still hope this is a helpful breakdown of cleansers I have tried to help you decide which one would work for you. A little background.. I have combo-to-dry skin, can be sensitive at times, awful pores, and acne prone. Incase I miss anything in this blog I will link each video I did on these cleansers below so that you can fully check in on the one that you are most interested in. I tried all of these for 6+ weeks at a time and here are my honest thoughts. 





Where to begin with this one. I had a love hate relationship with this cleanser because I was actually really excited to try this one out, but it just didn't work for my skin. This is a clear gel that has what looks like glitter specks.. No they aren't chunky glitter or anything crazy. I even said that in the video, but someone pointed out it is apparently "gold specks" that might be why the price tag is $29 for a cleanser, but that's some cheap "gold." Regardless it does have a boujee fragrance to it and lathers nicely. What didn't work for me was how dry and almost striped feeling it left my skin. I had to always hurry and go straight into the rest of my lineup because I couldn't stand the dryness it left my skin feeling. I also never noticed a huge change in my skin while using this. Sure it did the job cleansing my skin, but my breakouts were still there and my skin stayed more dry than anything. This cleanser claims it is for all skin types, but I wouldn't recommend this one to anyone with dry skin or acne prone skin. I have seen amazing reviews on it for people with oily skin or aging skin. I have seen it is a very loved one so if this one worked for you that is great! 






On another note if you have acne prone skin.. Look no further! I have to say having this whole line up (cleanser, toner, blackhead mask, breakout cream, & moisturizer) will take your skin to the next level, but if you only get the cleanser you will still see progress with your skin! It is another nice lather that isn't too intense. It has a light fruity fragrance and is super gentle. This line is actually made for teens who are just starting to get acne and we all know the struggle that was and unfortunately some still have it going on after their teen years including myself. It isn't near as bad anymore, but every so often I have a flair up and this is a go-to cleanser during those times for me. If you have a teenager, or you are a teenager, or even an adult struggling with acne I really recommend the Clear Start line from Dermalogica. This cleanser also has other benefits of leaving my skin super soft and helping with texture, but the main factor I seen with it was my breakouts and blackheads. The bonus.. This cleanser is super affordable for a high end quality at $19.50







This milky shiny gel will bring the sheen to your skin by keeping it free of dead skin and texture. 
My skin always feels super clean with this cleanser too. I'm a huge GlamGlow fan, but I know some are super sensitive to it so beware if you normally are more on the sensitive side. I found this cleanser to be pretty gentle on my skin and never striped or left my skin feeling dry. It actually made my skin feel amazing and was perfect when I wasn't having breakouts. Although I do like what it did for my skin I felt like it wasn't one that combat acne breakouts whatsoever. I have to double up on other skincare and masking to tame the breakouts while using this cleanser. When my skin was clear this one was still a great one for keeping my skin clean and plump. The price tag is $28 which is pretty reasonable for a GlamGlow product. 







You have to get over my idiot self calling this "bio-tic" throughout the video, but I liked the breakdown I did on this cleanser in the video. It is a super nice and gentle cleanser. It is a pH-balanced yogurt cleanser that was super soothing and helped with any inflammation and acne. The gel is light and doesn't foam up on the skin. It was light, but got the job done. I really enjoy this one for keeping my skin soft and clear. This is one I would 100% recommend to anyone because I feel it could work for anyone with any skin issues. The hardball with this one is the price at $35 which probably made you cringe too. 
If you can/want to splurge give it a go though.

Revlon ColorStay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer | Makeup

  Revlon Colorstay Skin Awaken 5-in-1 Concealer  Revlon has a new Colorstay concealer that I had to share for different reasons. I've been trying it out for the past few weeks and have my shades down and also the way I like to apply it! So I thought I would let you in on my secrets... My fair with neutral undertones skin has done best with the shade fair in the concealer although I'm super close to the shade, vanilla as well. My absolute favorite way of wearing this concealer formula is day-to-day by itself. It's that "your skin but better" look where I only use spot concealer under my eyes and where needed. It blends in without leaving weird patches but wears nicely in place. The only complaint here is the creasing I do experience with fine lines and creases that are on my skin. A little setting powder fixes that. I have tried the universal neutralizer and wasn't a fan. I'm sure it would be nice for most, but my fair skin doesn't mix well with the sha...

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare

Good Molecules Cleansing Bar & Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches // Skincare I have plenty of skincare blogs coming your way, but I wanted to post again about Good Molecules and their products I've been loving.  I do have a video on these products, mainly so on the eye patches, but now that I have been using both of them for awhile I wanted to share my thoughts.  Caffeine Energizing Hydrogel Eye Patches I have always enjoyed any eye product. From eye masks like these to eye creams. They both make a huge difference in my skincare. I go through spells of little sleep and gradually see my under eye area get darker and darker. I'm also paranoid of getting eye wrinkles so I try to keep my eye area super hydrated and even throw in anti-aging in the mix once in awhile. What I can say is that I was not expecting what happened with these eye patches. Yes I'm used to hydration boosts with eye masks, but the difference you see immediately with th...
