Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser Review

 I am a lover of skincare products so while standing in the check out line at Sephora this caught my eye. It's Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Foaming cleanser, I have never heard of Ole Henriksen, but I've been on the market for a light cleanser to use in the morning. This product is pretty much flawless to me..lets check it out.

African Red Tea is a very foaming cleanser with a sweet, floral tea smell. It spreads really nice and the pump dispense a nice amount. 2 pumps covers my whole face and neck. Its very gentle and smooth, that it almost feels like it isn't working at all, its just that soft. Once washing it off, you can feel out squeaky clean and refresh the skin feels. My skin felt like a baby bottom! It didn't feel stripped or over cleansed, its just perfect!

This cleanser is everything to me. I've never used a foaming cleanser and I must say I like the formula. Ole Henriksen is becoming one of my favorite skincare brands and this product is certainly on the top of the list!

January Favorites 2014

So January is OVER! January is one of my favorite months simply because its my birthday and the start of a new year. Today I'm bringing you my January favorites, which isn't a lot because I was so busy this month. Let's drive right into it!

First up is MAC Face and Body foundation. Quick story on this product I used to HATE this foundation. So what changed it to be a favorite? My skin. My skin cleared up since the last time I used this and I am in LOVE. I apply 2 coats and top it off with my MAC Mineralize Skinfinish. This has been my everyday look this month!

Lush Mask of Magnaminty Cleanser is one of my ALL TIME favorite mask. Its prompted by LUSH as a cleanser, but I use it as a nice, gentle mask everyday. It gives a nice, tingle, refreshing feeling and my skin just feels so radiant.

Wet n Wild Fergie On Edge Longwearing Eye Liner in the color Hyper Sky is from the new permanent line of eyeliner within the Fergie collection. I just love this color blue and awakes my eyes so much when applied to my waterline. It is pretty long wearing, but slightly fades in color towards the end of the day. But overall its a beauty!

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight mask is a great moisturizer for my skin doing the winter time for me. I use it nightly and it just gives my skin baby skin smoothes in the morning. My face feels hydrated and fresh.

Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser is a black charcoal scrub that is heaven in a bottle. As I rub this into my face I can feel a cooling refreshing on my skin. My skin looks and feels so clean with that "over drying" feeling. I love this cleanser.

NARS Light Reflecting Loose Setting Powder is pretty impressive. It lightweight and finely milled sparkling particles. It doesn't give my face a flat matte look, but simply a fresh, blurred look. If you have deeper skin, be careful with being to product heavy because it can give .|a white case effect if too much is applied.

MAC Select Cover Up concealer is a sheer to medium coverage concealer. I like this because it sets fast and dries down to a matte finish, so once in place it won't move. LOVE IT!

MAC Sable eyeshadow is a favorite of mines and has been for years. Its just the perfect peachy, shimmery color that suits every occasion. As you can see I have hit pan on mines and will be purchasing another sometime this week.

Revlon PhotoReady Skinlights in Peach Light is a beautiful illuminator with shimmery particles. I enjoy wearing this under my foundation because it gives a nice sheer throughout the day and truly keeps me looking dewy and healthy for the day

L'oreal Color Vibrancy Instant Shock Treatment is quick 60 seconds conditioner that gives your color treated hair a shiny, brilliant look. I recently dyed my hair a black blue color and this really keeps my color alive and awake.

SO…thats everything! Nothing too major but I truly love every single product. What were some of you guys favorites for the month of January?

Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser

Hello everyone. How was everyone weekend?! Mines was great it was my birthday this weekend, so I just feel so blessed to see another year! Today I have a skincare product that has recently grabbed and stolen my heart. Its Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser! Now I have never tried any Biore products, but because I large pore I'm always drawn to "pore cleansing" products. On to the review.

Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser is a thick black charcoal beaded gel. The texture is nice and lather pretty well. Once on the skin it spreads evenly and there is a cooling, refreshing feel that you feel as you continue to rub into the skin. The beads are not abrasive or to harsh so you don't feel like your tearing your skin apart. The formula is very gentle.

I love this product! My skin feel so soft and refresh. It does get my pores really clean. The feeling after using this is pretty come to the feel after I use my Clarisonic, just really clean and soft. I've been using this everyday for 2 weeks and I even have 3 bottles on back up. This is a really nice gentle exfoliate without over drying and dehydrating the skin. I love everything about this cleanser and I recommend it everyone no matter what type of skin combination that you have.

This can be found at Target, CVS or Walgreen
