L’Oreal Let Me Down This Time
June 28th, 2010
I’m a huge fan of L’Oreal mascaras (like you didn’t know), so when I saw that they were coming out with a new Telescopic Mascara with a Givenchy-esque wand, I had to try it. I love the way the original Telescopic makes my lashes look (long and dark!), so I assumed the new one would be just as good. Boy, was I wrong. The new Telescopic Explosion mascara has the same great formula, but the wand is practically useless. It clumps my lashes together, making me look more show girl than California girl.
L’Oreal claims that the globe shaped brush is:
Precise: to get right into the corners capturing even the shortest lashes.
Spherical: to use from any angle for longer-looking lashes.
Precise: to seek out every lash for a fanned out effect.
But in reality, it’s trash. From now on, I’ll stick to their tried and true formulas (L’Oreal Telescopic or Lash Out mascaras), or hey, maybe I’ll jump ship to Cover Girl.
Where to find it: Your local drugstore (Walgreens, CVS, or Duane Reade), or big box store (Walmart, K-Mart or Target) for around $10.

St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub
June 28th, 2010
I used to hate St. Ives products. Their apricot scrub is way too harsh on my skin, leaving it dry and raw-feeling. But their new Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub is a whole other story. Formulated without parabens or phthalates, this scrub helps keep your skin clean without drying it out or irritating sensitive skin. The green tea soothes your skin, reduces redness, and protect your skin from unfriendly environmental factors and free radicals. I’ve been using it for over a month now, and I’m in love. I love that it has just 1% salicylic acid (just enough to fight acne without drying my skin out). It’s even gentle enough to use every day. All in all, I’d recommend it to anyone who needs a skin pick-me-up, or a cheap alternative to more expensive exfoliators.
Where to find it: Pick up St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub at your local Walgreens, Duane Reade, or CVS, or at your local big box store (such as Walmart or Target) for around $6.
