Oils


     Have you guys heard all this hype about cleansing your face with oil? For your entire life the media has lied! By washing our faces with bubbles, it sets off a nasty never ending cycle which results in our faces looking like minefields (anyone else out there have an oily face too?!) The unfortunate bit: face wash strips off our natural oils and leaves our faces dry, which signals to our skin to produce more natural oil. Thus, our #sundayselfies take the hit by looking like a war zone. 

So I decided to test drive this oil biz to see if it's all just a bunch of well done advertising by Sephora and Cosmo, or if it's legitimate.

Well, I'm happy to report that after two weeks of using Boscia Tsubaki beauty oil, my face has COMPLETELY cleared up.

                         


I mean, imagine the mother of oily T-zones has completely cleared up. It's especially difficult in the winter. But no joke, it's cleared. This is just a preliminary report, but I'm happy to say that it's not all hype. Go get some samples from Sephora and try it out yourselves ;) I'll be trying out Josie Maran Pure Argan Oil Light soon and be back to report. Post coming soon about my routine using oil!

P.S. This is not a sponsored post, I'm just a happy camper.

Setting Spray

What is a setting spray? Hairspray for your face! I'm not completely sold on it yet, but so far it's working well, I've been using it for about a week now. I wear glasses every day so by the end of the day, the makeup around my nose (where the glasses rest) has substantially shifted. Although with my facial primer and setting spray, it stays in place much better. With just either one though it doesn't work as well.


This is what I've been trying from Sephora...


Urban Decay Oil-control Setting Spray 


(because I have an oily face)

This finishing spray works well even when I don't wear glasses! I am currently sitting on the fence about it. Not quite sure if I want to commit and spend lots of money on it quite yet. Although Urban Decay is having a sale…



What do you guys think?
