Hera Gel to Oil Cleaner Review

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well!  I've just been busy and tired. I work with children (daycare) and they're a lot of work! There's a baby that just loves me for some reason. I guess she senses that I'm motherly(I have 5 younger siblings^^). She cries EVERY TIME I leave the room. All the babies love me lol!! This year I said that I wanted a vacation so that I could sleep all day, and I ended up having the stomach flu for a week.  Yes 7 days. Be careful what you wish for lol!  Just a little peek into my life :)  Anyway, on to the review...

Hera Gel to Oil Cleanser (70 ml). Full sized is 150 ml

Description:

"This transformer cleanser is fun to use as its gel-type substance turns into oil when handled and washed off. Being noncomedogenic, it can be used comfortably on delicate and trouble-prone skin or oily skin. It contains yeast extracts for detoxification and stimulates the supply of oxygen to the skin. As a special cleanser for massaging as well as cleansing, it delivers detoxification, vitalization and lifting effects all at once."

How to use:

During evening skincare regimen, dispense an adequate amount and apply to the entire face. Then, dissolve the gel by massaging broad parts first. In small circular motions, massage areas around lips, nose and eyes, which are parts that shift a lot and where make-up residue accumulates easily. Wipe off with a tissue or rinse with lukewarm water and wash the face with a cleansing foam.

Gel form

★ Scent? Light fragrance

★ Consistency? Gel to oil

★ Skin Type? All skin types

★ Price? I've seen it for $30-$60 online. 

★ Repurchase? Yes

Verdict:

If you've waited for this review I apologize. I wanted to use it consistently, and see if I was allergic to it. With that being said, I really like this cleanser. I have sensitive, oily, acne prone skin, and I haven't had any allergic reactions. So far, I've only used  DHC's Deep Cleansing Oil, Hera's Gel to Oil Cleanser, and a cleansing oil that I made my self. I like Hera's Gel to Oil Cleanser the best. I use this cleanser to take off my make up and I use it for facial massages. 

It takes off all my makeup including my waterproof  eye makeup. My face doesn't feel tight, but soft and smooth after washing it off. This cleanser doesn't irritate my eyes. I once tried Lancome's Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover and it made me break out :( 

I've been using Hera's Gel to Oil Cleanser for a while now and it's almost gone. I'm planning on buying the full sized cleanser soon. A family member of mine is going to Korea next month, so I'm going to see if he could pick this up along with a Big Bang photo for me^^

BzzAgent Review: Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge

"The latest haircare line from Garnier Fructis has just the boost you need to quench your thirsty locks. Harnessing the natural superfruit powers of goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi, this new Hydra Recharge regimen actively replenishes dry hair without weighing it down. Hydra Recharge Shampoo, Conditioner, and 1-Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment all pack a breakthrough formula and a punch of high performance hydration that lasts up to two whole days."

Garnier Hydra Recharge Shampoo, Conditioner, and 1 Minute Treatment from BzzAgent

Garnier Hydra Recharge Leave-in Conditioner purchased by me

★ Scent? Strong fruity smell

★ Price? $3-$6 depending on your location

★ Repurchase? Yes

Verdict: 

 I was kind of nervous about using this Garnier hair care line because I was afraid that it would tangle up my hair, but that was not the case. It made my hair feel soft, hydrated, and tangle free. I could comb through my hair easily using the conditioner and the 1 Minute Treatment. I’m almost out of these two products because I use them when I co-wash.  

The Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge line smells great, but the scent is very strong in my opinion. The smell does last all day though. After I tried the shampoo, conditioner, and hair treatment, I purchased the Hydra Recharge Moisture Whip Leave-in Conditioner. This product works as well as the others, and it didn't weigh down my hair. I am pleased with this Garnier line and I will  purchase it in the future. If you're planning on purchasing this hair care line from Garnier, be sure to look for coupons :)

What it looks like :)

Before

After

★ Scent? Light 

★ Feel on Skin? Lightweight. It goes on smoothly.

★ Skin Type? All skin types

Verdict:

This is my first BB Cream ever! I was very excited to try L'Oréal's Magic BB Cream, because it said that it self-adjusts to your skin tone. Cool right? Well...I wore it a few times and did not like it. This BB cream made my face an ashy gray color. It didn't perfect any flaws or correct my skin tone. It did however make my skin texture smooth, felt hydrating, and it didn't break me out.

Biore Acne Mild Care Oil Control Foam Cleanser Review

Biore New Acne Mild Care Oil Control consists of the TRICILOSAN formula which is bacteria-resistant and effective in treating the problematic acne on your face, preventing them from re-appearing. It can form high-density foam which can best perform its function as a cleanser to rinse off all the unwanted oil, dirt, grease on your face, leaving your skin with purified and bright condition.

★ Scent? Light 

★ Consistency? Thick foam

★ Skin Type? All skin types

★ Feel on skin? Gentle. There's no tugging on my face

★ Oil Control? Not really

★ Price? $5.80

★ Repurchase? Yes

Verdict:

I really like this foam cleanser. I purchased it at sasa.com awhile back. No allergic reactions!!!!  I use it in the morning and at night, and it doesn't leave my face feeling tight and dry.  I think that this cleanser is great for acne. I've had only one pimple pop up this month.

It doesn't really do anything for controlling oil. I wash my face around 7 a.m., and my face is oily by the time it's 9 or 10 a.m. Even though it doesn't control my oil, I still think this cleanser is great because of  it's ability to control acne. I should have purchased more than one because it is currently out of stock. I have finally found a great cleanser, and it's out of stock (T_T)  I hope they bring it back.

Torani Syrup Review

Hello everyone!! This is another sponsored review for SheSpeaks and Torani. I was sent two 25.4 oz bottles of syrup and five$1 off coupons. This time, I received Peppermint and Salted Caramel. I am very pleased with these flavors. I recently ran out of my Torani Vanilla flavored syrup, so these came just in time!

Torani Peppermint Syrup

With the cool taste and refreshing fragrance of freshly-picked mint, this flavor is an invigorating addition to any beverage. Just add 1 oz. of this classic to mochas, hot chocolate, and blended drinks.

Sugar Cookies with Peppermint Flavored Icing 

My sister made homemade sugar cookies and icing. She added Torani Peppermint Syrup to the icing, and she topped the cookies with peppermints.

Torani Salted Caramel Syrup

The richness of buttery caramel is brought to new heights with a pinch of salt in this delectable syrup made especially for iced coffee drinks. Add 1 oz. to brewed or iced coffees, espresso, steamed milk,and more. 

Salted Caramel Waffle
