Review Time: Fresh Soy Cleanser and Rose Mask

So in a recent YouTube video, I said how I received the Fresh Soy Cleanser and the Rose Mask as my free birthday gift from Sephora.  I've used them both a couple times now, so I thought I'd talk about what I thought.

First up, is the cleanser:

I actually really liked this cleanser!  You just have to use a small amount and it lathers really well.  I also really liked the clean, cucumber scent.  The only downfall is that my face feels pretty dry after, and it doesn't have the little exfoliating beads that my Mary Kay cleanser has.  I'm not sure I would ever purchase this, it retails from $15-$38, which is a little pricey for a tube that is 1.7oz-5.1oz (Mary Kay cleanser is $20 for a 4.5oz tube). It does make my skin feel really clean though, and I'm such a sucker for that cucumber scent, haha...so maybe I will purchase some time.

Next up is the mask:

 

So this mask has actual rose petals in it, and it says that it hydrates and tones your face.  To me, it did nothing but make my skin feel really dry and tight after.  I didn't really like the smell too much, you have to wear it for 10 minutes, and  I honestly didn't think it did anything beneficial to my face. 

 

I'm glad I got to try this mask though, since I will NEVER purchase it, haha...it's $62!  Are you kidding me?!?!?!  No thanks!  I love trying out all these masks, but so far I'm still a huge fan for that charcoal and black sugar one from Walmart...will I ever find another one I like?!?!?!

I hope this little review was helpful, if you have any questions, just let me know!  I have several more masks I'll be trying out in the next few weeks.  Also, be sure to go subscribe to my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/taryn205  I'll be posting a couple tutorials soon on this gorgeous new Mary Kay Spring Palette:

Thanks for reading!  Have a great night =)

Best Bath Store...Best thing EVER!!!

Okay, so I just got done using the Best Bath Store's Face Scrub, and it is amazing! My skin feels so smooth and wonderful. I swear, I think I might have finally found my night time routine with the Best Bath Store line. The scrub you just use every once in awhile, but I swear, my skin is clearing up really well, and it's not drying out at all!!! If I haven't said it enough, everyone should check out this place, and AT LEAST get 5 free samples. I think I'm going to have to try some more things soon. Also, in case I haven't said it before...the samples are like really good sized. I've used these products every night since I've got them, and I've still got plenty left over. GO TRY THEM!!! =)

On a not so good note...Benefit Bad Gal Lash. It's awful! You might as well not even waste time putting mascara on, it does absolutely nothing but make my lashes darker, haha. If you were going to buy this mascara, STOP, and save up for like MUFE Smokey Lash or try Bee Royal or ANYTHING else, haha. I will say that if you don't want to spend the money for Smokey Lash there are really good mascaras at drug stores/Walmart. For example, I really like Rimmel, the pink one, I'm not sure what the name is and their new one in the purple tube is okay too but you have to put on several coats to get good volume. My favorite cheap kind is Max Factor's 2000 Calories. I don't care much for the Extreme one, just the original, and it's really good, best mascara I had used before Smokey Lash actually. But whatever you do, don't get Bad Gal Lash!! I've had 2 samples of this stuff, and I've thrown both away!!!

Also, I've finally made up my mind on the Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder by Mac...it's great! I realized this yesterday when after I put it on, it just seemed to make my skin glow and look so healthy. It may be the good skin routine I have going, too, but I love this powder stuff, too. It just seems to mold into your skin and even everything and just put a nice finishing touch on your face. I've used Mineral Veil before, and I thought it was good, but this stuff is wonderful!

So, as a re-cap...Pass on Benefit's Bad Gal Lash, but sooo try Best Bath Store!! And also, if you're on the hunt for a good finishing powder then try MAC's Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder.

On a side note...I just placed an order with Bee Royal for 2 mascaras and a lipstick, so those will be added to the review list as soon as I get them. =)

Later =) Go to bestbathstore.com!!!!!
