Vichy Double Glow Peeling Mask Review

I purchased this item and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post.

I recently picked up Vichy Double Glow Peeling Mask ($20) because I loved the idea of a formula that not only acted as a mask which chemically exfoliated but also one that acted as a physical facial scrub too. Sounds interesting right? But that’s apparently what the Double Glow Peeling Mask is all about. It uses fruit acids to remove dead skin cell but also contains crushed, ultra fine volcanic rock to exfoliate skin.

I’m always a little skeptical about fruit enzymes acting as a chemical peel but products like Herbivore Brighten Pineapple Enzyme + Gemstone Instant Glow Mask and Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask have proved me wrong.

I always tell myself I should rely more on chemical style peels like Good Genes but I tend t revert back to physical ones. None the less, Vichy’s Double Glow Peeling Mask seem terribly intriguing because of it’s multitasking abilities.

Here’s my thoughts and review.

Facetory is Still Introducing Me To Sheet Masks I’ve Never Heard Of

When you’ve been using sheet masks as long as I have and you’re obsessed as I am with them it’s kind of hard to find me one I haven’t tried. But Facetory is still introducing me to sheet masks I’ve never heard of in my life before!

I subscribed to Facetory about three month ago. Basically, I give them $14.95 a month and they send me a bright yellow boxed filled with seven different Asian Sheet Masks. The reason I signed up was I liked the idea of trying out a new selection of sheet masks. I never, ever expected to be surprised and even delighted by what they would send. I did, however, expect to cancel the box within the first month because I thought they’d be sending me a bunch of masks I already tried or own boxes of.

Here I am though a few months later and I’m still loving this subscription box.

NARSissist Loaded Eyeshadow Palette and Time After Time Babblings!

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Like we need another nude palette? But the NARS NARSissist Loaded Eyeshadow Palette for Spring 2017 ($59) caught my attention today and even though I know I’m already set for nudes this month after purchasing the Too Faced Natural Love Eyeshadow Palette I still have a little voice in my head saying, “You should totally buy this for yourself!”

NARS loads up the NARSissist Loaded Eyeshadow Palette with twelve gold inspired shades with a delicious assortment of complimentary browns, nude, and natural shades!

Shades include:

  • Newbury Street
  • Windsor
  • Privilege
  • Dover
  • Foix
  • Castille
  • Alnwick
  • Beaumaris
  • Splendor
  • Versailles
  • Montaillou
  • Reale

Do I need it? Probably not. Do I want it? Most definitely!

NARSissist Loaded Eyeshadow Palette is available now at www.narscosmetics.com.

P.S. Is anyone watching Time After Time? H.G. Wells, Jack the Ripper, Freddie Stroma, what’s not to love? My love affair with H.G. Wells dates back to first time I read the Invisible Man and later Claude Rains bringing said Invisible Man to life. The series is based off the film of the same name. Malcolm McDowell is in it, so yeah, saw the movie when I was like 16 and everything with Malcolm McDowell was very, very, very, very important to me because hello, Clockwork Orange!

I dunno if fans of the film are going to see major similarities between it and the TV series because lord knows the TV series is going for a much more youthful, sexier feel. Freddie Stroma is totally my new crush. He’s adorably nerdy and endearing as H.G. Wells and also, pretty sexy too! He was in Harry Potter but he’s grown up considerably.

Anyway, it’s on Hulu if you want to catch up. I watched two episodes so far and really enjoyed it.

By the way, Happy Hump Day! Almost Friday! I think, kind of, sort of, not really….

Available now at sephora.com and at ulta.com.

New Lumene, Buxom $10 Sale, and New Tarte Eyeshadows

I receive a small commission if you shop through my link.

Day three of the Ulta 21 Days of Beauty Sale is on and today you can snag Buxom Full-On Lip Creams for $10 bucks.

Other cool sightings:
Shea Moisture is on sale this week so, now would be a good time to grab their Beautyhack Sugar Scrub Base. This is a raw sugar unscented scrub that can be used with their new Beautyhack scented oils. Basically it lets you customize the scrub with any fragrance you want. I dunno why but my inner mad scientist (or maybe it’s my inner barista) loves this idea.

By the way, Tarte unleashed a slew of new Tarteist Metallic Shadows for $14 each plus you can get a free deluxe Maneater Voluptuous Mascara and Lippie Lingerie with any $35 Tarte purchase.

And finally, Lumene has a new Recover & Protect Oil and Matte Hydrating 24HR Cream that look interesting!

Happy Shopping!

Kiko Less Is Better Konjac Sponge Review

This was provided to me by a brand for review and I receive a small commission if you shop using the links in this post but all opinions are my own.

Need a new konjac sponge in your skincare life? The new Kiko Less Is Better Konjac Sponge ($10) hit the scene recently as part of the Less is Better Capsule Collection for Spring 2017. Is it terribly weird that I wanted this because it was pink? I mean, I don’t have a pink konjac sponge and I really like pink…..!

No, but seriously, if your skincare life doesn’t include a konjac sponge, you’re missing out on something special. Plus pink ones are actually fantastic for duller, drier skin types (black are best for problem skin types but I tend to use black anyway as they give a good, deep clea).
