Review : L'Oreal go 360° clean deep facial cleanser for sensitive skin





I have to admit it, I bought this cleanser because of the scrublet, but it turns out that I really like the cleanser ! I've been using it for a few months. It has a creamy texture that I like. It is not drying, but I always moisturize my face with a lotion after cleansing it no matter what cleanser I use. It leaves my skin soft and clean. It removes all my makeup even when I use foundation. There is no residue on the cotton ball when I tone my face after cleansing it. I always remove my eye makeup with an oil base makeup remover because I use waterproof mascara, so I don't know if this cleanser removes waterproof mascara.
I tried the cleanser without the scrublet and I find that it removes less makeup than when I use the scrublet.
It claims to reduce the size of pores, but as I don't have large pores, I didn't notice anything.
It latters a little bit, but not that much, just enough to feel that it's cleansing well. It says that it's fragrance free, but it has a slight scent. It's not a fragrance, but it smells like soap or milk. I'm really bad at describing scents...
I really like the packaging. It is handy and doesn't get dirty easily. I like the idea of the whole on the bottle to store the scrublet.

I got it for about 9$ CAN in drugstore.




I love the scrublet. It's very soft on the skin and it exfoliates gently. I wish we could buy the scrublet seperately. It doesn't scratch the skin at all. I really love it !
Overall I give it 4.5/5

This nail polish is a little lighter than it appears on the pictures. It's a cream color that is great for spring and summer. I really like how it applies smoothly and it isn't streaky. I put two coats in these pictures. With a topcoat, it stays on my nails for more than a week.
It costs about 9$ CAN.

I give it 5/5.

Review : TRESemmé Freshstart Dry Shampoo



This is definitely a product I regret buying. It's the first dry shampoo I try. I heard a lot of good things about the Batiste dry shampoo and wanted to try it but it's not available where I live. So when I saw this bottle in the drugstore, I was so excited and bought it. BIG mistake !
I wash my hair everyday and I know we should not do that. That's why I wanted to try a dry shampoo, so I can skip a day of washing my hair.

What it claims
"TRESemmé Fresh Start Dry Shampoo is the perfect solution to clean hair without water anytime. The unique formula with Mineral Clay and Citrus, refreshes your hair by removing oil and odour while injecting volume. Just a quick spray transforms lifeless, limp hair into clean, fresh hair full of bouncy body. It also helps to maintain hair colour with less washing."

How I used it (the day after I washed my hair)
I shook the bottle, hold the bottle 15 cm of my head and I sprayed on the roots of my hair. I left it for 1 or 2 minutes as stated on the bottle. Then I brushed out my hair.

Pros
- It smells ok (same smell as the hairspray)
- It didn't leave white residues
- The packaging is good
- Price is ok 6.49$ CAN at Jean Coutu (drugstore)

Cons
- My hair was sooooooo much greasier than before.
- Made my hair looking dull.
- It weighs down my hair as if I put some oil on it. I had to go wash my hair right away, it was so disgusting.
- It didn't give any volume at all and took away the little volume I had before.
- The smell can be overpowering for some people, but it fades away after a few minutes.

Overall I hate this product and regret buying it.

1/5

Review : Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15


This is the best lip balm I've ever tried ! It is sooo moisturizing and I don't have to reapply every 15 minutes as with other chapsticks. It feels so good on the lips. My lips aren't that dry, but they are always "thirsty" if that makes sense. I always need to have something on my lips.

It has a lemon scent that is not overpowering. I like it.
It goes on clear and shiny, but not glossy. It is not sticky and not waxy. It's so creamy and keeps my lips moisturized for hours.

The packaging is pretty good. Maybe a little bit heavy, but that's not a real problem.

The only downside is that it is so expensive. I would never spend 22,50$ on a lip balm. I got it as a birthday present. If I get a gift certificate, I would buy it. Otherwise, I think it's too expensive even though it's my favorite lip treatment.

Overall I give it 4.5/5 (I took off 0.5 because of the price).
