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.

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...

July Monthly Beauty Favorites

  July Monthly Beauty Favorites  I've been keeping my fingernails pretty naturally and trying to get them more healthier and longer looking, but I got this Kokie nail polish in an Ipsy bag a couple months ago and I've been using it a lot this summer on my toes. It's a really pretty periwinkle color. This is in the shade Heavenly. I actually bought this awhile back and used it (at least the body mist, as you can tell) so much. I've recently started using them again and have fallen in love with the scent once again. It's a mixture of vanilla and coconut. Those are my favorites!   FACE: For face care, I've still been using this  tarte Rainforest of the Sea Deep Dive Gel Cleanser . I absolutely  love this stuff! This is a "must have" and "holy grail" for me! It has helped my face problems (I still have some issues of course, but it's improved since using this religiously) so much and doesn't dry my skin out too much a...

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018

Ricky's Cult Crushes // May 2018  You may already know, but I moved all of my subscriptions to my beauty channel: AllyBrianne   You can check out my unboxings there of all of my monthly and seasonal subscriptions.  The reason I'm posting this blog today is because I just got this months Ricky's Cult Crushes in the mail last week. I planned on filming a quick unboxing to post Sunday, but my weekend got away from me so here we are. This is only my second month receiving this subscription. I'm up in the air about it honestly. Last months ( Ricky's Cult Crushes // April 2018 ) was a good box, but sadly the pans in the eyeshadow palette kept falling out! You can see all that business in the video! I was disappointed because the shadows were great.. The packaging not so much.  If you don't know what  Ricky's Cult Crushes is... It is a $11 (now $14, I'll explain) monthly subscription that has mainly beauty items. This is a subscription throug...
