Hello gorgeous people, Hope everyone is well? It’s been awhile between blog posts I know.
Last month I gave in to the popularity that is the ordinary skin care range. Everyone was bragging about it from the price point to the products even to the concept of this range. My little situation was that I was running extremely low on the good genes and Luna oil from Sunday riley. And as every blogger or beauty junkie knows that this skincare range is on the costly side doesn’t matter what part of the world you live in. At this stage I have been on a no spend band as well so thought I would take the plunge. So I did a little research consulted in some beauty groups and came up with this product being the cheaper dupe for the Sunday riley good genes. Now I wasn’t going to question that until I tried it.

And the verdict is in you may think this will be another bragging post from me but this is my honest opinion. Keep reading to see my true thoughts on this product.Is it a Fantastic product? And would it be great as a dupe for the Sunday Riley good Genes? Lets find out shall well.

I love the packing its simple and plain it has this clinical look and feel about it and I’m all about that vibe. I love the frosted glass bottle this gives of the impression that this isn’t a real cheep item and doesn’t come across as super cheap well to me anyway .
Well my friends I hate to say but I found the product Blah real Blah. I didn’t think it really did anything at all. The first few times I used it I did notice some brake outs. Now some will say this is just purging but to be honest there is now way my skin would have purges just after two uses. It takes a good two weeks for products to reach down in to layers of the skin to cause that to happen. I did stop using it immediately after that and gave it rest for a week just to calm my skin down. Another issue I’m having with this product too is congestion little bumps are showing up after use as well. This issue again is happen the next day after use.

I have come backwards and forwards with this product to really give it a go I have picked this product up again and again and there was no feeling of lust or Love.Every time I have used it I’m getting the same results of the congestion and I’m not seeing any benefits of this product at all. Not once did I notice or had any feelings of amazement when I applied this product or feeling the effects the next morning when I was feeling and checking out my skin.

Now I don’t know if it has anything to do with the 5% version being the weaker version of the two they do have two versions on the market. I thought the 5% would be the safe bet. I’m not too sure if I would rush out and buy the 10% version of the HA one at this stage thoughts are mixed there at the moment.

So sorry guys this was not a love for me to be honest I think this product is going in to the bin. Its not an expensive product so no loss there. I will not repurchase it at all, and to anyone that asks yes I have been using it with the ordinary Advance retinoid as well and I have tried it with out as well to give it a fair try

Comment your thoughts below maybe you made this product work for you. Maybe you found the perfect recipe for this to work with other products from is brand , maybe you agree and are not in love with this one at all I would love to know.

Until next times love

Love CC XoXo

I purchased my The ordinary products from Myer for $ 12.40 AUS , website linked below

 Welcome back everyone, something a little different on the blog this time and yes it still consistent with makeup so don’t think I’m switching it up just yet. I’m talking about this new little beauty find called the Face Halo. Now if you’re a diehard Chloe Morello fan you may have already heard of this. Now by all means this is not a collaboration product and she is not sponsored by them ether from what my understanding from her last video is that Chloe is a part of the company.

If you couldn’t tell from the tittle it’s the modern Makeup remover it’s a reusable makeup pad fully designed with woven microfiber technology and these little gems are environmentally friendly. If there is one thing that I struggle with and that is using makeup wipes to remove my makeup as they just irate my skin, so for me wipes are not an everyday use even though there just so easy to use. When I really looked in to these I thought wow I can save money and time by purchasing these. So I jumped right on in and purchased a packet no questions asked.
Now as it usually goes I would talk about packaging, not this time around I’m jumping straight into the product. These rounds are so supper soft and you can feel how it can be so gentle on the face. I do have to say I love the effect of that black satin edging on the outer edges of the halo. And the little tag on it too will be so handy to be able to hang around in the bathroom for prober drying they feel so luxurious. My normal method to removing my makeup is with bioderma Micelle solution I use this to take of the bulk of my makeup. After this when I hop in to the shower I use the Bioderma cleansing milk to remove the excess of makeup before I go in with my real cleanser and clairasonic.

Now that I have this Face halo all that is required is to wet the Face halo and start wiping, serious it’s that easy even the instructions says so. My first use of this was truly ground breaking it was better than sex honestly just a few wipes and my whole entire face was makeup free. And when I was cleansing my face with my clairasonic and notice there was no makeup residue I was actually lost for words. This round with just water had removed everything including my benefit there real massacra, and we all know that product alone is one of the most stubborn. There has been many times I still wake up in the morning with mascara still on my eye lashes.
After every use I have just rinsed it under the tap with normal hand soap to get the makeup off which has cleaned all the makeup of it and has kept it in its crisp clean white condition. I did try and use common products in my shower to clean it, slight unsuccessfully. I have only found hand soap to work the best I’m not too sure why that is but it has removed all the makeup from the round every time. Not washing it straight away will cause for it to stain as well.

They say one of these rounds can be washed for up to 200 rounds and you can just chuck it in with your white / light clothing. I have down this I have placed it clean of course with my white work shirts it has come out fine . It didn’t do any damage to my shirts and no damage to the Face Halo. They do say not to ad fabric softener so chucking it in with my normal white’s is fine.

I have not been this impressed with a makeup removal product for a very long time, well the last one was Bioderma micellaire water. And to be honest I have not picked up my Bioderma scene using these face halo’s. I’m so impressed with this product I honestly am looking at gifting these out to my close friends and family as a Christmas gifts that is how impressed I am. I’m even thinking about buying another packet too just to have on hand, for when I’m purely too lazy to wash.
If you’re a environmentally friendly beauty junkie or vegan you will love!They are up your alley. And to those ladies out there that struggle with makeup removers due to irritation these are perfect too. Mums with daughters that are experimenting with makeup get on board again perfect for their young impressionable skin. To the lazy makeup savvy girls to the young and old,seriously I couldn’t speak more highly of the Face halo. Have you heard of the face halo? Leave your thoughts below in the comments, until next time all

Love CC xoxo
