Dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil | Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Dermalogica Phyto Replenish Oil is an ultra-lightweight, fast absorbing antioxidant-rich face oil that is very hydrating and nourishing. It effectively plumps skin, softens the appearance of fine lines, it leaves skin soft and silky smooth, and it gives skin a gorgeous dewy glow. It has a very pleasant, and light, floral/herbal aroma that creates a lovely tactile and aromatic experience, and this aspect truly makes its use a considerable pleasure. I love adding a few drops of this beauty oil to my foundations and tinted moisturizers to add moisture and a dewy finish. This oil offers my normal/combination skin enough moisture that I can use it without an additional moisturizer during the warmer months.

According to Dermalogica,

This feather-light treatment oil rapidly absorbs to reinforce the skin’s protective barrier. Wear it alone or layered under foundation for all-day dewy skin. Next-generation formula takes a three-phase approach to replenishing protective lipids that are depleted by aging and environmental stress. First, phytoactives from Camellia and Tamanu oils help restore the skin’s natural barrier. Then, an essential lipid blend that includes Orchid Flower and Chia Seed Oil smoothes visible lines and locks in critical moisture. Finally, Sunflower, Rice Bran and Rosemary Extracts create a luminous antioxidant shield against free radical damage. Ideal for daily use on normal to dry skin.
Claims:
  • Strengthens the skin's natural barrier.
  • Hydrates to help smooth the appearance of fine lines.
  • Shields skin against free radical damage.
Directions: After cleansing, press 4-6 drops into skin. Hold bottle upside down for 2-3 seconds to initiate product flow. For show-stopping luminosity, apply 4-6 drops to a make-up sponge and blend it over your foundation.
Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Oleic/Linoleic/Linolenic Polyglycerides, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Extract, Cymbidium Grandiflorum (Orchid) Flower Extract, Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil, Calophyllum Inophyllum Seed Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter Extract, Pelargonium Graveolens Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Extract, Methoxyphenyl T-Butylphenyl Propanediol, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Tocopherol, Hydroxymethoxyphenyl Decanone, Citronellol, Geraniol, Linalool, Citral, Limonene.
Overall Assessment: This is unquestionably a lovely face oil, and I have been reaching for it regularly.

Beautybox 5 May 2015 | Unveiling and Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Each month BB5 creates a theme-based box, and the theme for May is products that lend themselves to "Super Outstanding Skin." From a delectably scented liquid hand soap, to a lovely moisturizer, to a lovely cream blush, and they even included two beauty tools.
1) Bio Swiss Stainless Steel Mini Tweezer ($4.99) #bioswiss

These Red Bio Swiss 2-1/4" long tweezers come with included red end-capped transparent carry tube. The precision-aligned slant head tweezer tips are constructed of quality stainless steel. This discreet mini size is a perfect on-the-go tool with matching carry tube.

The size is perfect to carry in your makeup bag just in case you need to fix your brows when you are out and about.

2) Essenza Luxury Hand Soap in French Lavender (2 oz. Deluxe Sample) #essenza

ESSENZA’s French Lavender fragrance includes a top note of green fresh lavender, a middle note blend of light sweet florals, and a base note of subtle earthy wood. What are notes? In the fine fragrance industry, “notes” are fragrances that we sense over time once a perfume is applied. Top (head) notes are perceived immediately, and tend to evaporate quickly. Middle (heart) notes are the main body of a perfume, perceived as the top notes dissipate. Then finally, we perceive base notes as the main theme of a perfume, usually after the evaporation of the middle notes.

This is a delectable smelling hand soap that I really look forward to using.

Ingredients: Water , Sodium Laureth Sulfate , Sodium Chloride , Cocamidopropyl Betaine , Cocamide MEA , Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice , Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) , Hypericum Perforatum Flower , Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract (Grape) , Arnica Montana Flower Extract , Leaf , Twig Extract , Hamamelis Virginiana Bark , Aesculus Hippocastanum Seed Extract (Horse Chestnut) , Stem Extract , Hedera Helix Leaf , Propylene Glycol , Fragrance , PEG-8 Laurate , Laureth-4 , Citric Acid , Methylchloroisothiazolinone , Methylisothiazolinone , Tetrasodium EDTA.

3) Styli-Style Glide-On Blush/Highlighter Stick in Bittersweet (Brown/Pink) ($6.49 Full Size) #stylistyle

Traditional blush a little scary? Avoid clown cheeks with our 100% product control blush stick that deposits a light sheen of color that blends in easily into the skin. Keep sweeping the stick across your cheeks to build your custom color.

This is a very buildable and highly pigmented cream blush that applies smoothly and evenly.  Bittersweet is a muted pinky brown,

4) Coastal Scents Classic/Synthetic Brush ($1.95-$2.49) #coastalscents

The Classic Shade and Fluff Medium is ideal for shading and blending like a professional. The soft, oval shaped, synthetic bristles allow you to soften the look of powder or cream shadows by blending harsh lines.

The synthetic bristles are very soft, and feel wonderful against the skin. This is a great choice for laying down color and blending.

Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil and Wipes | Review

 Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

Longtime readers know of my obsession with cleansing oils and facial wipes, and I now have two more to gush over! Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil and PreCleanse Wipes are gentle, highly effective, very pleasant to use, and very high quality. 
Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil and PreCleanse Wipes
Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil is a lightweight cleansing oil that melts away makeup and lifts impurities with ease, and leaves skin soft and clean. I massage a small amount into my dry skin, and then add warm water to my fingertips and continue to massage. The addition of water causes the oil to transform into a thin milky emulsion that removes all of the makeup and dirt once rinsed off of the skin. I don't tend to wear waterproof mascara, but it did remove waterproof eyeliner with ease.

According to Dermalogica,

Deep-cleansing oil melts impurities and make-up from skin. Achieve ultra clean and healthy skin with the Double Cleanse regimen that begins with PreCleanse. Thoroughly melt away layers of excess sebum (oil), sunscreen, waterproof make-up, environmental pollutants and residual products that build-up on skin throughout the day with skin fortifying Olive, Kukui and Apricot oils. Add water to transform this hydrophilic (water-loving) formula into a milky emulsion that easily rinses debris from the skin's surface, allowing your prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser to penetrate even further for professional cleansing results. Formulated with conditioning Rice Bran and Vitamin E oils, this gentle blend can be used around the eye area to even remove waterproof mascara. Offers a deep cleansing ideal for even the most oily skin conditions. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colors.

Claims:
  • Removes oils without clogging pores.
  • Conditioning essential fatty acids nourish skin.
  • Enables your prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser to work more efficiently.
Directions: Dispense into dry hands. Massage over dry face and eyes to dissolve surface oil and dirt. Concentrate on areas of congestion or stubborn debris. Wet hands and continue massaging to create a light, milky emulsion. Rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser for professional cleansing results.

Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, PEG-40 Sorbitan Peroleate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Borago Officinalis Seed Oil, Aleurites Moluccana Seed Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Solanum Lycopersicum (To-mato) Extract, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Decyl Olive Esters, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Citral, Limonene, Linalool, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Lavandula Hybrida Oil, Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Isopropylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Butylparaben.

Before

Dermalogica PreCleanse Wipes are obsession-worthy wipes, and may I just say that I am thoroughly sold on these. Unlike many of the facial wipes that I have tried, these do not feel water-based to the extent that the others do. The PreCleanse Wipes are neither dripping with fluid, nor are do they require pulling and tugging the skin in order to remove makeup. Instead, theses oil-infused wipes effortlessly lift makeup and impurities with no effort whatsoever, and they leave skin soft rather than stripped. There is no need to tug or pull, but instead the ingredients do all of the work to remove every trace of makeup– you simply wipe away the dirt and makeup. Furthermore, these wipes remove every trace of makeup, and they do not irritate my super sensitive eyes.

According to Dermalogica,

Achieve ultra clean and healthy skin on the go with the Double Cleanse regimen that begins with PreCleanse. Each biodegradable wipe melts away layers of excess sebum (oil), sunscreen, waterproof make-up, environmental pollutants and residual products that build up on skin throughout the day. Add water to transform this hydrophilic (water-loving) formula into a milky emulsion that easily rinses debris from the skin's surface, allowing your prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser to penetrate even further for professional cleansing results. Formulated with skin-softening Aloe and Apricot oils, conditioning Rice Bran and Vitamin E, this gentle blend can also be used around the eye area to remove waterproof mascara. Offers a deep-cleansing ideal for even the most oily skin conditions. Formulated without artificial fragrances, colors or parabens.

Claims:
  • Removes oils without clogging pores.
  • Conditioning essential fatty acids nourish skin.
  • Enables your prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser to work more efficiently.
Directions: Lift tab to open. Wipe over face and eyes to dissolve surface oil and dirt. Concentrate on areas of congestion or stubborn debris. If desired, wet wipe and continue massaging to create a light, milky emulsion. Rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser for professional cleansing results. Firmly reseal package. Please dispose of wipes properly. Do not flush.
For a professional level of clean, follow with your prescribed Dermalogica Cleanser.

Dermalogica PreCleanse Wipes Ingredients: Water/Aqua/Eau, Cyclopentasiloxane, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Butylene Glycol, Neopentyl Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate, Lauryl PEG/PPG-18/18 Methicone, Dicaprylyl Ether, Glycerin, Sodium Cocoyl Apple Amino Acids, Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis Peel Oil, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, Lavandula Hybrida Oil, Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Oil, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Dimethyl Isosorbide, Sodium PCA, Sodium Benzoate, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Tocopherol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium Chloride, Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Citral, Phenoxyethanol.

Overall Assessment: Dermalogica PreCleanse Oil and Wipes are gentle, effective and truly obsession-worthy. These are definitely worth considering the next time that you buy a cleansing oil or wipes. A+
