CeraVe Skin Renewing Gel Oil Review & Swatches

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

CeraVe Skin Renewing Gel Oil ($23.99) is a new unique facial gel oil that contains five different ceramides to hydrate skin. I started using CeraVe about two years ago when my skin started freaking out during the Winter. I had flaky cheeks, flaky eyelids, tightness, etc…I’m typically sensitive only dry but for some my skin had a melt down during the cold weather and the only thing that helped was CeraVe. Fast forward, present day, and many of their items have become some of my favorite skincare picks like their Skin Renewing Night Cream which is really rather awesome.

Fast forward to Spring 2017 and the brand is launching a few new products to their permanent line one of which is the innovative Skin Renewing Gel Oil. I’m seeing a lot of unique and innovative skin picks the drugstore this month! Gel oils, cleansing oil scrubs, etc…hmmm! I like this new trend because skincare can be pretty cut and dry!

Let’s take a look at my review and thoughts on the new CeraVe Skin Renewing Gel Oil.

SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Overnight Facial Oil Review

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

SheaMoisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Daily Hydration Overnight Facial Oil ($9.99) is a new facial oil that’s being added to the Shea Moisture Coconut Oil Collection. I honestly don’t need yet another facial moisture in my collection but this was on sale at CVS. You know those damn sales that tip us into the spending zone.

But like I said I already own quite a few facial oils that I love and use daily so, adding a new one didn’t quite seem like a good idea or at least not a good one until I finish up what I’m currently using like Herbivore Phoenix Cell Regenerating Facial Oil and Good Genes Luna Sleeping Night Oil. But considering the BOGO offer and the fact that I also purchased Sheamoisture’s new coconut face moisturizer it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Here are my review and thoughts.

St Ives Exfoliate & Nourish Coconut Oil Scrub Review

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

St Ives Exfoliate & Nourish Coconut Oil Scrub ($6.99) is a new coconut oil scrub created with coconut shell powder to exfoliate your face and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion.

I picked up St Ives Coconut Oil Scrub as well as St Ives Exfoliate & Nourish Apricot Oil Scrub at a Super Walmart in the Catskills at the end of November. I was somewhat shocked to find it on the shelves as I had never heard about it and later when I was Googling info I couldn’t find a word about these anywhere.

These are quite an interesting and unique product as they combine the formulation of a cleansing oil with tiny grains that act to exfoliate skin. It’s an interesting combination that effectively exfoliates skin.

Let’s take a look at my review.

Skinfood Black Sugar Honey Wash Off Mask Review

Skinfood Black Sugar Honey Wash Off Mask ($11.50) is an organic black sugar and manuka honey mask that exfoliates, softens, and hydrates skin. I thought I’d review a few of my favorite Skinfood masks this week because Ulta recently started carrying a small collection of this Korean brand plus it’s on sale for Buy 1, Get 1 40% off as well as an extra 20% off using the Ulta coupon code 400295.

I’ve mentioned quite a few times in the past that I’m obsessed with sheet masks but lately I’ve been using a lot more cream and liquid masks. I blame it on the beauty industry as most brands have been force feeding me the joys of regular old traditional masks and all of a sudden I’m finding some new love in them.

MAC Caitlyn Jenner Cremesheen Glass Review & Swatches

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.

Beautifully Bare and Tolerance are three, new limited edition shades of MAC Caitlyn Jenner Cremesheen Glass that launched with the Caitlyn Jenner collaboration with MAC. I’m a fond fan of natural shades like these so I was excited when I saw the shades in person were just as lovely as the promo images that MAC released.

Here’s a look at my review and swatches.
