Kleenex Exfoliating Pads Review

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

Kleenex Exfoliating Cushions

Kleenex Exfoliating Pads ($4.99) are dual-sided pads which have a built in cleanser that is water activated which buffs away dead skin cells. If you read my Kleenex Cotton Soft Pads review you know that Kleenex is getting in on the skincare world with some interesting and fun products that launched earlier this Summer!

My skin is drier and duller which means exfoliating is definitely an essential part of my routine. But the problem with exfoliating drier skin is that it can easily be overdone and makes me even more drier. Typically I try to keep it to once or maybe twice a week at best to avoid further dryness. It’s always a rather great pleasure to discover a product that’s gentle enough to exfoliate your skin daily with and that would be the case with these Kleenex Exfoliating Pads.

My Becca Ombre Rouge Eye Palette Review is Late but Great!

Becca Ombre Rouge Eye Palette12

Better later than never right? My Becca Ombre Rouge Eye Palette review is all kinds of late but it’s great, promise! Becca released two ombre eyeshadow palettes last year, both of which I purchased but for some reason they got pushed way down my “to be reviewed” pile. I hate when this happens as it potentially means I’m missing out on something terrific.

That would be the case with the Becca Ombre Rouge Eye Palette because I’ve had it for an entire year, never used it until recently, and now I’m kicking myself for not using it sooner because I simply adore it.

No one panic. I understand I’ve been saying “I love and I like” a lot around matte eyeshadows and matte eyeshadows lately. I must be getting old, embracing my natural, simple side, or mattes are just way better formulated nowadays!

Either way, the Ombre Rouge Eye Palette is a must have.

Not Impressed But Let’s Unbox the Sephora Play July 2016 Box

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

Sephora Play July 2016 Box

My Play by Sephora Box for July 2016 arrived about two weeks ago but I didn’t get a chance to do an unboxing! Sorry about that. As you may or may not know Sephora Play is Sephora’s new beauty box subscription service. The service is $10 a month and features 5 to 8 samples and deluxe sizes of new and exciting products.

My first box arrived back in May and I expressed some disappointment with the contents. I decided to stick with the service and so far, I’ve been ok with the contents but not terribly excited. I think as a beauty blogger much of the content are items I’ve already tired or purchased for myself. I wish they would include some super new and exciting.

The good news is that Sephora Play July 2016 Box actually did contain a product I wanted to try. It was a full size of the Blotterazzi by Beauty Blender. Sephora sells these in a pack of 2 for $20 and they gift you with a single, full size blotter in this month’s box. To me this covers the cost of the box and anything else inside is basically free.

Here’s a look inside.

Givenchy Le Prisme Superstellar

Let me brutally honest, I just want the new Givenchy Le Prisme Superstellar Eyeshadow Palette for one shade! I love, love the peach shade in this palette and I know it would look fab on me!

But really, the whole palette is divine!

The Givenchy Le Prisme Superstellar is a limited edition Fall 2016 launch that inspired by super heroes and heroines. How perfect for a geek like me! The palette is laid out with three cosmic stars that can be used on your face or your eyes. The plum shade acts to create a pretty smoky looks on eyes while the pink coral (the shade I adore!) acts as a blush or an upper lid shade, and the titanium can be used to add a hint of sparkle to eyes and cheeks.

Shades:

  • Pink Coral (matte peach tone)
  • Titanium (glittery silver)
  • Plum (glittery purple)

The Givenchy Le Prisme Superstellar will be available for a limited time and is on counters now at neimanmarcus.com.
