Testing Out Skincare: Tarte, Skin Food, & The Organic Pharmacy

Testing Out Skincare: Tarte, Skin Food, & The Organic Pharmacy


I've been trying out skincare just as much as makeup lately! You can follow me on Instagram to see my #maskofthenight instastories (@allisonhunt_2) and you can see some future blogs of me reviewing those masks. Todays skincare is my holy grails and/or daily used items.  

This has been my go-to cleanser for awhile now. I've actually mentioned it before in blogs. This is such a nice cleanser. It comes out in a light gel form and leaves my skin soft, clean, and refreshed! This isn't a harsh cleanser. It doesn't strip my face or irritate it at all! I was using this day and night. I use one pump in the morning (since I'm bare face) and two pumps at night (right after removing my makeup), but since I'm branching out and trying new things I've been using this just in the mornings. I feel like this is a cleanser I can't take completely out of my skincare products or my skin will get even worse again. This is the perfect morning cleanser and I'll continue to use it! 
Tarte Drink of H2O

I've been using this gel moisturizer for 2-3 months now and I absolutely love it! Any Tarte products usually work very well with my skin and this is another hit! I really like gel moisturizers and I've tried a few now, but this one has been my favorite from the smell, the way it feels on my skin, and how well it keeps my face and neck moisturized. If you are looking for the best gel moisturizer, look no further! 

Tarte Maracujá Oil 

This has been another holy grail for awhile. I got a smaller sample of this and even though it lasted forever (most oils do) I ran out of the whole thing within 6 months. That was on top of trying out other oils and night creams. I just really loved this oil! If my skin is going crazy with breakouts, dry skin, irritation, or really any issue I will lather this on at bedtime and my skin will already feel so much better the next morning! I'm not the type of person that likes to feel oily on my face, but I swear by this stuff! It's definitely worth it. I've used about a quarter of this bottle (this isn't even the full-size), but once I get through this one I'll be purchasing the full-size! It's worth the price!
Skin Food Peach Sake Pore Serum

I've been throughly trying this serum out daily to see what difference it does to my skin and more importantly my pores (since it's a pore serum). I have large pores that get so easily filled with blackheads. This is why I do so many mask, treatments, and skincare rituals because if I don't the acne and blackheads over take me. While this serum smells nice like peaches and makes my skin feel so soft, I haven't seen a difference in my pores. I've been trying this out for about 3-4 months and that's plenty of time to see a difference in my skin. I'll still be finishing this one out and if you don't have a pore problem then try this one out. It's only $16 and does make my skin feel so nice! I have seen a difference in my skin, just not my pores. On to find new pore products!  

The Organic Pharmacy Lip & Eye Cream

While this is rather expensive, it works! I've been using this for the past 6 months every night. I always see a huge difference in my dark circles (from kids), less puffiness, and any fine lines that have started to form. This is one area (eyes) that I have been already using anti-aging products on. It's never too early! I don't use this much for my lips because I have other (cheaper) products that work great for that. This is a thicker white cream that sinks into the skin as you rub it in. It hydrates and makes my under eye area feel smooth and nourished. It has a fresh natural scent that isn't too strong. I love that this is organic and made with all natural ingredients as well. This makes it pricey, but better for your skin!

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...

Skincare & Makeup Haul

Skincare & Makeup Haul I've never done a "haul" on my blog before, but I thought it would be a cool idea plus it would be a sneak peak of things that I'll be trying out for future reviews.  Skincare: I have been loving trying out new skincare items and although my skincare bin is a little full at the moment there was a few things I was running low on and a few things that I couldn't pass on!  I was running low on both makeup removing wipes and micellar water, so I picked these up at Target. I often use a moisturizer from the Simple brand, but I've never tried their wipes or micellar water before. It's cheaper in the long run buying the two pack of wipes, but I do hope these work good!  My nose has once again started getting clogged with blackheads. I've been trying out a few different foundations and wearing makeup just about everyday and my skin just isn't use to that. After taking a two week break from makeup a...
