Cheap Treat For Your Skin by Sephora




Hi All My Lovelies Out There!

...I am so sorry I went MIA for a while. I am going to make a true effort to get back to my lonesome blog. I am hoping for some good news this week so I can share with all of you what has been consuming me besides makeup. FYI, If something is consuming me besides my love for Makeup, it's something HUGE, important and seriously, serious. Hahaha.

Now that I got that off my chest, I have something super amazing that I want to share with all of you that I have been using for about 2 months now and I am completely in love with it! We all know about the Clarisonic buzz going around, right? I would love get my grubby little hands on one of those systems but I don't have a money tree at the moment. The next best thing is the Olay Pro X Cleansing System which retails for roughly $35, give or take a little. That's wonderful (& I am asking for it for my Bday!....4 months away, lol) but I've found something along the same lines for only $5! Now, I can in no way truly compare the 3 BUT for $5, this is a win, win situation. So, I've posted a picture of this skincare obsession of mine up top^^^ It's the Sephora Collection Face Complexion Brush. It comes in 2 colors, White (clear) and Fuchsia (Which is actually Red). I have the "Fuchsia." It's super soft and although you have to use your own elbow grease to get results rather than the luxury of a battery, it is WONDERFUL! Pair it with your favorite cleanser & your ready for some deep cleansed & exfoliated skin. I use mine 2 times a day (morning & night) for about 1-2 minutes using light circular motions around my entire face. To be honest, I used to dread taking my makeup off at night...I hated it! Now that I have been using this little gem, I WANT to take my makeup off because I am literally addicted to how clean, smooth and glowing this makes my skin look & feel. From the research I've done it seems like you should replace your brush for a new one every 4 months or so. You can tell when it will need replacing because the bristles begin to get a little tweaked, kinda like your toothbrush...you just know when it's time, lol.

If you were curious, this is one of the exfoliating cleansers that I like to use with my awesome little scrubby brush =)


It's the Olay Definity Pore redefining scrub. It's supposed to minimize the appearance of your pores and brighten your complexion for a more even skin tone. I can definitely vouch for the brightening effect! I didn't believe that part at all but after using it just the first time my skin was bright and luminous and much less red than normal. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, lol. Great stuff! 

Hope you Girls try this out for only $5 and if you have it, please let me know your thoughts! I would love to hear your opinion on this. 

Xoxo,
