It's <b>very</b> <strong>pigmented</strong> and goes on like butter. I find that I don't have to use lipliner with this because of the slanted tip of the brush, it's never a messy application. It doesn't accentuate dryness either. It is a true mauve-y brown/rose. It's very matte on the lips but doesn't feel dry at all. I think this is a colour that would look beautiful with any skintone. It</span> holds up quite well through the day, very <strong>long-lasting</strong> even after eating, I noticed that its still there.</span></span></div>

<span data-mce-style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif; color: #000000;" style="color: black; font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif;"><b>Ingredients Review: </b>I had a hard time finding the ingredients for this liquid lipstick online. Both the sephora website, and the Kat Von D website only had the benefits. Hence I had to take a picture, <strong>Propylene carbonate</strong>, <strong>Tocopheryl acetate</strong> are the only irritants I found which are linked to mild toxicity. I'm shocked that the ingredients aren't as bad as I thought they would be, considering that this liquid lipstick lasts so many hours.</span></div>

I find that it's really <b>thick</b> and you really have to pat it on to get your skin to absorb it. It makes my undereye area feel moist which is great and I do notice that it makes my concealer look a bit better under the eye area. Personally, It does not feel like it has many anti-aging benefits which is what I was initially looking for in an eye cream. My under eye area is very dry and sometimes I get dark circles. I feel that I need something more "heavy duty" for my under eye area.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;">I honestly think I've tried better eye creams than this. Another thing that I dislike about this cream is the packaging - Although it comes in a pump and it's very hygienic, you don't really know how much you have left in there.</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif;" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="line-height: 16.5px;">I have fairly thin hair, and probably use more product than I should- it's so light it doesn't make my hair stick to each other so that's a plus. </span><span style="line-height: 16.5px;">I often apply this product to the ends of my hair </span>and<span style="line-height: 16.5px;"> use it as a <b>detangler</b>, and it works great. I don't apply it to my roots because my hair gets oily easily. It's a product that doesn't make me worry because it's mainly made out of natural ingredients not synthetics. </span></span></div>

<i>Downside:</i> Looking over the highlighted ingredients - I realized that it is best that I don't apply it on my scalp or close to it - for one is quite high on the 'this is harmful for you tests'. That ingredient you see called <em>Tacopheryl Acetate</em> is supposed to be a variation of Vitamin E, but it's not derived from a natural source. The way it is processed makes it harmful and in high dosages studies claim that it is linked to tumors.</div>

<span class="s1">Asia is well-known to be far ahead in their skin care products. I read that Japan is one of the many few countries out there who are really cautious about what they put in their beauty products. Their native consumers are quite aware of which ingredients are beneficial and which are not which makes it difficult for brands who put a lot of synthetics in their products to sell. Doing all this research led me to a brand called: <b>Koh Gen Do</b> <i>(Gen pronounced like ghen, not jen).</i> The first product I decided to purchase was their Oriental Plants lotion for dry skin.</span></div>

Different in the sense, that this lotion has a consistency slightly thicker than water. It absorbs into my skin quickly. This product makes my skin appear <b>healthy</b> and makes it <b>glow</b>. The <b>moisture locks in all day</b>, sometimes I even wear this under my primer. </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I just love it! It is quite expensive, but if it lasts me at-least 3 months I see myself buying another. </span></span></span><br />

Phenoxyethanol is an ingredient that is usually restricted in Japan, maybe the company put a very small dosage into the product where it isn't really a big deal. But overall I am very impressed with how they're not as many alarming ingredients put into this magic lotion compared to other brands which have 5-8. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had a friend who sent me a screenshot of some post that was trending on Facebook, in that post there was a girl balding from using dry shampoo. '<i>Stop using dry shampoo or you'll go bald</i>' she said. The type of person I am, I just had to look into it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://photobucket.com/images/hair" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="hair photo: shiney black hair 20-animate.gif" border="0" src="http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h257/pantene_photos/20-animate.gif" /></a></div>

<br />
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">In today's post I will review the Dry Shampoo I use and also answer whether dry shampoo will cause balding.</span></h2>
<div>
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></b> <b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Does dry shampoo cause balding?</span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b><br /></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Unlike regular shampoo which cleans the scalp, dry shampoo does not serve that purpose. The whole point of <b>dry shampoo is to absorb excess oil from your hair</b>. For instance - sometimes you're in a hurry and don't have time to shampoo your hair or you just naturally have an oily scalp, that is when dry shampoo becomes a life saver. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">You should keep in mind that your scalp needs it's natural oils too. That's why we hear all the time that it's bad to shampoo your hair everyday. While an oily looking scalp isn't attractive and may appear unclean, it's a natural function of your body and one that's essential to the health of your hair. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When you apply that dry shampoo it sucks up any oil on your head and stays put. It's similar to makeup setting spray in the sense that- it's just not going anywhere once you apply it. If you don't wash your hair after using it, it will sink in and possibly go into your hair follicles. As a result, If you continue leaving it in your hair and<b> not washing it after use it will clog </b>the<b> hair follicles</b> leading to possible hair loss.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you're going to purchase a dry shampoo, make sure it's an <b>all-natural</b> one and comb the product through your hair. Think of putting dry shampoo on your scalp as the same way you leave your makeup on your face overnight (you don't ever want to do that!), you could possibly break out the next day. Bottom line is, don't leave that dry shampoo in your hair overnight! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <i><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Long Term dry shampoo user comments found on dailymail:</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span> <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">"<b>Can you really use 1 woman's experience and say its bad for everyone?</b> I've used dry shampoo for over <u>10 years</u> no itch no sore patches no bald patches. I wash my hair twice a week as washing it makes my scalp itch and dry I tried all sorts and this works for me - who is it to say one rule applies to everyone ?"</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 10px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span> <span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 10px;">"I have been using it approximately <b>5 days per week for several years </b>now and have never experienced any of these problems. Maybe though it's because I have <b>naturally very oily scalp/roots</b>. Perhaps it has to do with your skin/hair type?"</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19.999979019165px;">This is the best dry shampoo I have ever used. I naturally have an oily scalp, and very fine hair. I get a </span><b style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif; line-height: 19.999979019165px;">tousled wavy hairstyle</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19.999979019165px;"> using </span><i style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif; line-height: 19.999979019165px;">Bumble & Bumble's Prêt a Powder</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19.999979019165px;">, and it just </span><b style="font-family: times, 'times new roman', serif; line-height: 19.999979019165px;">keeps the oil at bay</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 19.999979019165px;"> all day. </span><br />

It is super easy to use and doesn't leave a white cast to my dark hair. You just have to blend it in real nicely. It also adds instant and lasting volume. I use this product probably around 2-3 times a week and wash it out at the end of the day. </span></span><br />

The reason why I'm not putting up the reactions for a lot of these ingredients is because<b> majority of the cosmetic websites I have found online have these copyright policies </b>where I have to email them and get their permission prior to posting their data +<b> </b>I really would like <u>consumers to do their own independent research</u> because it's never good to believe everything you hear anyways. Especially from the beauty industry where profit means everything. I did go over each ingredient one by one and to summarize them I would say that majority of the ones highlighted in red are possible irritants to the skin. There was one ingredient in there banned in Japan and Europe too because of the horrible side effects (and they're big on health concerns there so I wouldn't be taking that lightly)</span><span style="text-align: justify;">. </span></span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;">This oil is a <u>top seller</u> at Sephora. Regrettably, I have bought it a couple of times myself from there in the past.

<a name='more'></a><span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;">argan oil benefits, but unsure if it is worth the investment. What Argan oil does for your skin is great. However <strong>Josie Maran's Argan Oil is such a rip off!</strong> I was furious when I found out how over priced her products are compared to other leading brands out there that sell the exact same stuff. All Josie Maran's oil is - is just a name slapped onto good ol' Argan Oil.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;">I have always been familiar with the fact that Argan Oil is good for your skin. I just never really looked that much into it cost wise and how it's made. Josie Maran priced a little 1.7 oz bottle for 60$ CAD.<strong> If you're going to use it for all the benefits I have jotted above - this bottle will not last you even a week.</strong> <em>Did you know you could buy the exact same item for a fraction of the cost?</em> <em>Oh, well I'll get into that</em>. :)</span></div>

<span style="color: black;">In brief, I'm going to give you a little background about Argan Oil that you should be aware about. It's an</span><span style="color: black;"> </span><strong style="color: black;">organic product</strong><span style="color: black;">. Which comes from a small part in</span><span style="color: black;"> </span><span data-mce-style="text-decoration: underline;" style="color: black; text-decoration: underline;">Morocco</span><span style="color: black;">. Every Argan Oil out there comes from that same location. Majority of Argan Oil brands you will come across will be less expensive than Josie Maran's.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span style="color: black;">When you go to the super market or even an Indian super market (Which is where I ended up getting mine from), Make sure you take a look at the ingredients. You would want it to say </span><strong style="color: black;">pure 100% oil</strong><span style="color: black;"> and </span><strong style="color: black;">cold-pressed</strong><span style="color: black;">. There are a lot of companies out there who do make imitations, if you can I would recommend smelling it. Part of the argan harvesting process involves roasting the seeds, which gives the final product a </span><strong style="color: black;">nutty sort of scent </strong><span style="color: black;">or sometimes even like </span><strong style="color: black;">popcorn</strong><span style="color: black;">. Counterfeit argan, however, often has a sour or revolting smell to it or no smell whatsoever. Also avoid a bottle that is clear or made out of plastic because it could make the oil deteriorate. Good quality Argan Oil will be found in a</span><strong style="color: black;"> dark coloured glass bottle</strong><span style="color: black;"> (either amber or blue for example).</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;"><b>Background:</b> I used to be apprehensive about the second step of the traditional skin care regimen. Due to the fact, I have used awful toners before sold by <i>amazing</i> sales associates on commission. For example the <i>Clinique's second step toner </i>was such a big disappointment - it made me breakout bad. I was told it's alcohol free and it still irritated my skin.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;">Then I'd go back on the hunt for a toner just to be disappointed again. I could even remember a time about me complaining to the Sales Representative from Dior about the Cliniques toner (I didn't have a blog at the time and I just needed someone to vent to), He responded telling me that Clinique sucks (of course he's going to say that) and that their toner could be used as nail polish remover because of the acetone in it. (I had to google it to see if that were true and to my dismay he was right!). That being said, they have reformulated their toner and have removed the acetone</span><span style="color: black;">.</span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;">As a result of wasting my money with previous toners, I've learned to do my own research before purchasing anything. Not only has that saved me money but my face is no longer some science experiment where the end result is an awful surprise. </span><br /><span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;"><b>Review:</b> This stuff smells...amazing. When I first started using it, my mom asked me what perfume I was wearing. It just smells so good and refreshing, a little <em>citrusy</em>, light and clean. There is absolutely <b>no synthetic fragrance</b> in it either! YAY</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;">It removes any left over make up, it has great moisture providing abilities as well. Overall it really helps my skin <b>retain moisture</b>. After applying this with a cotton pad, you should use a moisturizer right after. I've noticed how my <b>pores</b> have gotten <b>smaller</b> overtime using this product. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;">I use it day and night, and this happens to be my third bottle of it and I just ordered another today because I'm running low. <b>I just love it</b> and don't see myself getting any other toner for now. One bottle lasts me around 3-4 months which isn't bad.</span></div>

It's stunning! I have olive toned skin, which is quite dry. I purchased a <b>BD50 (Warm Honey)</b> for YSL's foundation it's a tad bit darker than my actual skin tone. (I think next time I'll try the BD40). I find that some foundations never "sit" right - they magnify any imperfections. I always want my foundation to look natural, like great skin, not "great foundation" . The description below that Sephora provided about this foundation is context that I completely agree with. For it really does give you a healthy glow.</span></span></div>

<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;"><span data-mce-style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;" style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;"><strong>Ingredients Review:</strong> Another thing that I always look into are the ingredients, to see if it's a safe to use for everyday type of foundation. I have sensitive skin and I don't want to age quickly, so looking into the ingredients is very important. The first ingredient that I noticed was that there is Polyethylene Glycol (PEG). When this is put in low molecular weight, it's in the low risk category for causing any harm to your skin. I searched on google to see if the PEG's used in this foundation were safe and it said they were, they were in fact in the low risk category. Meaning it may effect those with extremely sensitive skin but it hasn't irrupted my skin. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;"><span data-mce-style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;" style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">A lot of companies use PEG as an ingredient in their foundations just so the ingredients in the foundation will mix properly. It is supposed to help soften and lubricate the skin and also help deliver the ingredients deeper into your skin. On the downside <strong>PEG is known to reduce the skin's natural moisture</strong>. But it appears that majority of cosmetics out there will have this ingredient in it. </span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<span data-mce-style="color: #000000;" style="color: black;"><span data-mce-style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;" style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">Another ingredient that I found in this foundation was <b>fragrance</b>. If you have read my primer review, you would know how much I dislike having fragrances in my products and the potential side effects of fragrance. If it weren't for the fragrance this would be my number 1 foundation. Due to the fragrance and PEG, every time you remove this foundation off your skin, make sure you have an amazing moisturizing routine afterwards to replenish your skin. </span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; color: #3d596d; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px;">
<span data-mce-style="font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif; color: #000000;" style="color: black; font-family: georgia, 'times new roman', serif;">I've gotten several compliments about how wonderful my skin looks. In response I told my commenters that I'm wearing YSL's foundation. </span></div>

Today's review will be on this YSL primer. First and foremost I'll start off with a little background on my skin. I have dry, dehydrated looking skin most of the time. Which sucks and sometimes even makes the best make up out there look unpleasant. So I know besides a great morning and night skin regimen - I need a really good primer for my skin <div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a>I've tried many high-end primers. This one is literally in my top 5. I asked for a sample before purchasing it from Sephora and recommend everyone to start off with a sample when they're trying something new; because who likes going back to return items. After 3 uses of the sample <strong>I had to order the full size</strong> online.<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
This is a silicone based primer. Silicone is the key ingredient that locks moisture in and doesn't dry out and look flaky after a few hours of sitting on your skin. It is also a component that levels out our skin texture and makes it appear smoother. I find that any brand of makeup that I put over this primer looks flawless. It gives you the radiance you would probably want on your wedding day.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
Any makeup I put over it makes my skin look flawless. I do recommend using YSL's foundation with their primer because you will get this "I'm not wearing any makeup, I was born with this flawless skin" look with a subtle dewy finish.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
Silicone is an ingredient in a lot of primers, and it is suitable for most people with sensitive skin because it will not irritate the skin or cause acne. It is safe for your skin because the components that make up the molecules are too big to penetrate into your skin and cause break outs. It will just sit on the surface of your skin locking in the moisture. Since it locks in moisture, you should cleanse your skin very well, use your toner followed with your moisturizer prior to applying your primer. Because if you don't you will have your primer sealing in any of the bad stuff that may be sitting on the surface of your skin and overtime cause a breakout.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
There are tiny specks of gold dust in it but the sparkles are undetectable when the product is on the face. It's a great marketing strategy; making this primer really stand out compared to the others. I like that they put <strong>nourishing oils</strong> in it such as the corn, apricot kernel, passiflora, and rice ban oil which leaves your skin feeling really soft and smooth.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
The only thing that I hate about this product is that they put fragrance in it. It has a faint, flowery, fragrance, I don't mind the smell but my face doesn't need a fragrance on it. I haven't broken out using this but it is alarming seeing that they put perfume as their third ingredient. I've read so many articles that state how bad fragrance is for your skin. On the surface it may appear harmless but fragrance is known to be an irritant which can cause not only allergic reactions but also <a data-mce-href="https://askanesthetician.wordpress.com/2010/11/23/fragrance-in-skincare-products-bad-for-your-skin/" href="https://askanesthetician.wordpress.com/2010/11/23/fragrance-in-skincare-products-bad-for-your-skin/" style="color: #00aadc;">collagen to breakdown</a> over time, it could effect how your skin heals to everyday environmental damages and unfortunately age you quicker. Yikes!</div>
<div class="separator">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
To conclude, This primer helps my foundation last around <strong>8 hours</strong> on my skin. There isn't a dreaded oily shine that shows up hours later with this primer either. Despite the fragrance, the good outweighs the bad. I don't see it becoming an everyday type of primer either and what balances it all out is that I have an amazing morning and night skin regimen. (I like it so much I'm already trying to justify the fragrance) >.<</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 24px;">
4/5 ratings. ( -1 because of the fragrance)<br />I would refer this to a bride/any special event where there will be a lot of pictures<br />$55. 00 at Sephora</div>

Review of the Foreo cleanser</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hey Friends !!! :) </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a review for the Foreo Luna 2 for Sensitive skin (the lavender coloured one). The Foreo is a silicone made cleansing device that was created to give you a deep cleanse with up to "8000 </span></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">transdermal sonic pulsations per minute". Wow!!!! In other words, You're supposed to get a really deep clean out of it and on the other side you can benefit from an anti-aging settings. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Let me start by saying that I used to have a Clarisonic in the past. Although it cleansed my skin very well. I felt it was a little bit too harsh for my sensitive, dry skin even with the sensitive brush you could purchase separately. So I ended up giving it away to one of my friends. I found that my skin has always been very sensitive, dry and prone to both clogged pores and acne so I have been very careful with my skin regimen and at the same time I'm always trying new products to improve it. Like most of you MUA's out there I'm forever in search for my HG products and in all honesty I think I've found it.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Foreo Luna is different than the Clarisonic in many ways. I don't want to put down the Clarionic just because it didn't work out with my skin type, I'm sure it works for others. But I just see more benefits with the Foreo. For example, Instead of a cleansing brush with bristles it has a "cleansing surface" with soft little silicone touch points, which I find are not abrasive against my skin. I like the fact that I don't have to replace the head every 3 months (and waste 35$+ on the brush) because the material it is made out of is very hygienic and easily washable, so there is no need to replace it. Apparently the Foreo is dishwasher safe too but I don't see myself going that far when I can easily clean it under the sink with a cleanser cleaner product. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been using my Luna 2 for sensitive skin for nearly 4 months now and I have to say that I really love it! The main difference I've noticed with my skin is that my pores appear smaller, and that my skin feels a lot smoother. My problem areas have always been the left side of my cheek and my forehead when it comes to break outs. (and no It's not because I sleep on my left side when I go to bed) I just tend to get clogged pores in those areas and ever since I started using the Foreo they're literally vanishing! I know this is starting to sound like a sponsored ad, but trust me it's not. I purchased this with my hard earned money.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The silicone "brush" is just so soft, it feels like I'm massaging my skin, as well as gently exfoliating it. I love how there is a set in timer on it as well. As it vibrates on your skin it will pulsate which is an indicator that you must move onto another area on your face. It also turns off automatically within 3 minutes of use. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is also important to note that you're supposed to use this AFTER removing all your makeup and once you have removed your makeup, use it with a cleanser not some exfoliant because those little beads/sand bits can potentially damage the silicone. I find that when I use it, it literally just glides over my skin, you don't ever want to rub it in because that could lead to excess exfoliation/irritation. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The reason I purchased the Luna 2 for sensitive skin and not the baby pink one which is for a combination of sensitive/normal skin (and a little cheaper too) was literally for the colour. I knew the other one could have worked as well because I felt it at the store and did my research before making this purchase. It felt soft too, and majority of the bristles on that model were similar to mine. I just loved the colour of the one I got and figured that I'm going to have this for a long time and use it every morning and night so might as well get one that I don't mind looking at. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Also I purchased the big model opposed to the mini because I wanted to use the anti-aging settings. To touch base with the anti-aging settings, I don't really have wrinkles yet but I do use it routinely and it just feels nice on the skin as if I'm getting a massage on the areas where my skin is wrinkle prone. I use the anti-aging mode on my forehead too when I get headaches<span style="background-color: white; widows: 1;"> and it has helped relieve them after 5 minutes of use with light pressure over the sinus cavity areas just under my eyes and again above my eyebrows. This was not a use I expected to have, but it works amazing. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Technical side note: I really like that this can hold a charge. Six months in, and I've only had to plug it in once - with the initial charge. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">My ratings are 5/5</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; widows: 1;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I would recommend this to a friend.</span></span></div>
