Musings of a Muse

Let’s see, my very frugal aka cheap azz self really doesn’t adore the idea of spending near $30 bucks on Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover.

Ouch, y u hurt my feelings like that Lancome?

Perhaps the new H2O Plus Aqualibrium Dual Action Eye Makeup Remover will be a better option with a cheaper price tag.

I want to try!

H20 Plus was one of the first skincare collections that took over my obsession with Lush. I’ve was a long time Lush skincare user prior to discovering H20 Plus but I loved the line so much after trying out a single moisturizer than so after I was incorporating may of their products into my daily regime.

Anyway…that’s my story of the day. Are you an H20 Plus fan?

It’s been a long day at work….

It’s been a long day out with your friends and you’ve been partying like it’s the new millennium……what? A long day at work sounded boring right…

You finally drag your way home and fall out of a cab absolutely exhausted but completely satisfied with the great time you had. Now you just want to fall flat on your bed and go to sleep…

Ahh blessed sleep….

But wait…

Cure the scratching record…

You have to take off your full face of party hard makeup.

Damn it.

That could take an extra 10 or more minutes….

What do you do?

Not sure if I got you all pumped about H20+ as of yet but if by chance I have and you’re overwhelmed what to try first, you’ll be happy to hear about the kits they offer. H20+ has several great skincare kits available so you don’t have to choose to test one single large item that you may not like! You can get a selection of 3-4 items in one kit for a low price that allows you to test out a few choice offerings from H20+.

Right now it’s my go to skincare and I’m enjoying the ride fully. I recently placed a haul order which I’ll tell you more about later but for now let me introduce you to the H20+ Sea Results Starter System.

Jump for it!

These kits are available for a variety of skin problems and contain up to four items for a mere $19.50. It’s a great way to introduce yourself to the line and see if you’ll like it. So far I’m having great results with H20+ and I can possibly…gulp…see it replacing my Lush moisturizers.

The H20+ Sea Results Renew Kit contains a variety of items for cleansing and repairing skin. Particularly it concentrates on fine lines and wrinkles. The kit includes four items total in mini form.

You’ll get:

H20+ Sea Results Sea Mineral Cleanser
H20+ Marine Toner
H20+ Sea Results Line Mender
H20+ Sea Results Eye Mender Plus

First off the item I loved the most that I’ll will be purchasing a bigger size of would be the H20+ Sea Results Mineral Cleanser. I normally stay clear of cleansers that are of a cream consistency as they don’t seem to work great at removing makeup. The formula of this is a moisturizing, loose, slightly runny cream. I’d probably miss on this if I had known of it’s formula to begin with but I sure am glad I was oblivious as it’s terrific! The formula is very gentle on my face and feels cooling and refreshing. You can literally feel it wipe away makeup and grime while refreshing the skin with a burst of moisturizing hydration. It doesn’t leave me feeling tight or itchy after use and feels like I rinsed with cool water and naught else. Very nice stuff.

Now I wasn’t too impressed with the H20+ Marine Toner. It feels well enough on my face but I didn’t really notice anything particularly exciting about it aside from the fact it was simply a toner without much fanfare. Unexpected as I’ve grown used to great things from H20+ lately.

The other two items in the collection I can’t say I’ve seen results as I’ve yet as it’s only been a week and a half since I’ve used either. I will say the Eye Mender Plus is a great eye cream so far as it’s creamy and very moisturizing. The Line Mender probably isn’t useful as of yet since I don’t have lines on my face that need mending, thank god, but I suppose it’ll make a nice treatment regardless, can never start too early fighting wrinkles, even ones that aren’t there.

Overall, the kit is a great little bang for your buck. H20+ Sea Results are available in any number of options from fine lines, to oil control, and even extra hydration so you don’t have to settle on this particular kit you have options available depending on your skin type.

These are a fine deal and a great way to become neighborly with the brand.

Loves it!

Remember how I was telling you about how irritating it was to chase those little beads around on my face which are part of the wonderful formula that makes up H20+ Face Oasis Ultra Hydrator? Gawd those things are a pain but I was willing to overlook them since I’ve fallen head over heals with Face Oasis as my main moisturizer the past several days.

But guess what? Score! H20+ Face Oasis has none of those annoying spheres, all the same benefits, plus a truly great formula to!

Yay!

Click for the review!

I was reading reviews that said the new Face Oasis I reviewed for you is more moisturizing than the older Face Oasis I’m about review. Personally they feel alot alike to me aside from the small spheres in Face Oasis Ultra Hydrator. One thing I did notice about this Face Oasis is it feels a bit tacky and sticky on my skin but after a minute it abides.

H20+ Face Oasis is an oil free hydrating moisturizing that’s a gel formula and supposedly reduces the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles. I’m only using it today so I can’t speak for long term results. I will say I’m loving this and the Face Oasis Ultra Hydrator so much because of the way it revitalizes my dry skin without making it an oily mess. The formula is so light and absorbs so easily into my skin leaving behind a dewy finish. Fabulous stuff. If you have dry I seriously urge you to see if you can get a sample. I also think the formula is rather ideal for oily skin as well since it’s so light.

Overall, I’m deeply impressed with H20+ lately and I’m thinking this could possibly make me switch from my regular Lush day and night cream.

H20+ Face Oasis gets a Muse Approval for making my dull, dry skin, dewy and fresh again! Feels just like a cup of cold water for my face. Many moisturizers I’ve tried in the pass say they are oil free but I always end up feeling greasy after not the case with this which makes it a gem among moisturizers.

Likey!

I’m not the type of Muse that gets excited about skin care. Cosmetics? Yes. Skin care? Not so much. I have me Lush regime and that’s about the extent of what I love about skin care. I’m not up for venturing outside my normal routine although on a rare occasion I’ll test something new out if someone sends it along or if I run across something that tickles me as interesting. But occasions like this are far and between. Recently, I got an e-mail alerting me to H20+ Face Oasis Ultra Hydrator and to say I was impressed is an understatement. This is incredible stuff!

Jump ahead for the review!

At $40 for 1.7oz this is an inexpensive, effective beauty find. H20 Face Oasis Ultra Hydrator delivers a cooling burst of moisturize to the skin with an oil-free formula that doesn’t feel greasy, oily, or heavy.

I could be convinced to switch my Lush Paradise Moisturizer for this. The formula is a gel with little spheres in it. Ok, I admit, I can do without the spheres. I hate chasing these things around my face trying to burst them, no likey. But aside from this minor rant the formula is positively dreamy. The gel absorbs very easily, very quickly, and feels like a cold cup of water for my face. Unlike many gels this doesn’t leave me feeling sticky or tacky just wonderfully soft and moisturized. With Summer here I can’t rave enough about this as it keeps my skin feeling dewy yet not oily, delivering just the right amount of moisturize to my weird combination skin that can’t decide if it wants to be dry or oily right now.

The moisturizer is enriched with nutri-sphere technology, Atlantic brown algae, and antioxidant multivitamins. It instantly gives skin a surge of intense moisture to replenish dull, dry skin.

Overall I’m very impressed with the way the moisturizer sinks into my skin so easily without laying on top my skin as many moisturizers are known to do. I’ve only been using it a very short time so I can’t speak for any long time benefits but so far my skin absolutely loves this.

You’ll love this if:

• Your skin needs a burst of moisture quickly!
• You want a light moisturizer that’s not oily or greasy.
• You love moisturizers that absorb in a snap and aren’t laying around on your skin.
• You’re trying to beat the Summer heat with a moisturizer that light yet moisturizers dry, tired skin.

I have to say even though it’s only been a short time I’m using this I’m loving it so far and feel the need to slap a Muse Approval on it!

Good stuff, very good stuff.

The entire H20+ Skincare line is quite inexpensive and worthy of a peep! Check it out at www.h2oplus.com
