The Jojoba Company Gentle Cleansing Balm

The Jojoba Company

Yaz from PRIMPED raved about products from The Jojoba Company a while back, and that was how I heard of the brand. When I was given the opportunity to trial a range of their products, I jumped at the chance to see what the fuss was all about. First on the list to review would be the Gentle Cleansing Balm.

First impression of the cleanser? It’s a thick cream that smells a little like oranges. Some told me they smelled lemons, grapefruits, etc. It’s a citrusy scent, let’s put it at that 🙂

Dolce By MOR for Target

MOR Cosmetics are the type of toiletries that not only smells good, but that you can just place on the dresser to look pretty.

Dolce by MOR

Recently MOR launched a collection, Dolce by MOR, exclusively for Target. They’re a more affordable range (each item priced between $10 to $15, compared to the original MOR products, in which a candle alone can cost 40 bucks) but equally gorgeous and the scents are absolutely delicious.

These babies will give your bathroom a luxe appeal. I’m sure of it 🙂

Alpha-H Gentle Daily Exfoliant

I recently had the opportunity to trial Alpha-H’s Gentle Daily Exfoliant. I’ve never used any Alpha-H products before, and really, the word ‘exfoliant’ had me at hello. It always does.

So, did it make the mark? Was it grainy and abrasive? Did it make my face glow with radiance or as though it stripped off a layer of skin. Read on to find out!

Alpha-H Gentle Daily Exfoliant

Description:
The Alpha-H Gentle Daily Exfoliant features a unique way to renew the skin, using crushed fruit enzymes naturally sourced from Papaya and Pineapple. This non-abrasive, micro-exfoliating treatment effortlessly lifts away dulling debris, sweeps out blocked pores and leaves the skin noticeably brighter, smoother and feeling baby soft.

Ingredients:
Kaolin, Solum Diatomeae, Bentonite, Carica Papaya Extract, Ananas Sativus Extract, CI77891
