Covergirl Peacock Flare Mascara is an early Spring 2018 mascara launch that’s arriving in drugstores now and promises to thicken lashes and give them that flared out fluttery look. I purchase Covergirl Mascaras strictly for review on my blog because in reality I’d probably be quite happy to never have to purchase one again as long as I live. Covergirl Mascara is a very hit or miss situation for most people. You either really, really love everything they do in the mascara or you really, really don’t get it. I’m in the “I don’t get it” group. A majority of their mascara formulas simply don’t work for me for some reason. I think you have to have really long, really full lashes to see the benefits from their formula. I count myself somewhere in the middle of having good lashes, not sparse but also not super full and naturally long either. So, the results I have with many Covergirl Mascara is mediocre at best.

I blind purchased Juliette Has a Gun Sunny Side Up Perfume during the Sephora 20% Off Rouge Event because it just sounded fun. I mean how can you not like a fragrance that’s named Sunny Side Up right?

L’Oreal Pure Sugar Purify & Unclog Face Scrub is a new pure sugar and kiwi face and lip scrub that launched along with a few new face scrubs for Spring 2018 at drugstores. As you know, L’Oreal introduced a selection of mud masks last Summer that gained quite a social following when the multimasking trend hit the skincare world. I tried a few of them such as the L�Oreal Pure-Clay Mask Exfoliate and Refine Pores and L�Oreal Pure-Clay Mask Detox & Brighten Treatment Mask. They were nice enough but I did experience some drying from some of the formulas and the fragrance plus ingredients weren’t quite right for my skin type. These new scrubs are a re-take on those formulas but where as before you left them on and rinsed them off these new formulas work more as an exfoliating treatment.

I had some skepticism about a face slash lip scrub formula in all honesty plus I had some worry about drying out my skin as physically exfoliating my face sometimes results in even drier skin than when I started out but of course, my curiosity won out and I decided to purchase L’Oreal Pure Sugar Purify & Unclog Face Scrub.
