LOTD + Some Randoms!

Hi everyone!

I hope you're enjoying your weekend! It's hot & humid here but I had to run some errands & my face is burnt to a crisp so I couldn't go without makeup! Thankfully, I can cover the burn fairly well with makeup, but it's so red!

So here's today's face!:

I used the E.L.F Beauty Book in Smoky Eye Edition & MAC Shroom for the shadows. The crease color is actually a burgundy purple with a little shimmer and then I finished it off with some black winged liner.
Wow, my eyes look super green here!

So, at the beach I had this amazing broccoli cheese soup & I had been craving it. I had all the ingredients so I decided to give it a go! It was soooo good. They called for 12 oz of frozen broccoli & 8 oz of cheese but I used 16 oz of broccoli & 12 oz of cheese. I used light Velveeta & Light Sharp Cheddar, along with fat free half & half. The recipe said to blend it but I like the broccoli chunky so I didn't. If you'd like the recipe, let me know!

I'm trying 2 new cleansers. Garnier "The Brusher" & L'Oreal "Go 360 Clean" in Deep Exfoliating Scrub (review below). I'll start with the Garnier The Brusher:

Pros:

Smells Great

Has a gritty texture that works great for exfoliation

Inexpensive

Leaves skin feeling clean & fresh

Cons:

The bottle sucks! (my opinion)

You have use a lot in one washing

The brush stays attached so it is very bulky when your are trying to wash your face

It can be a little rough on sensitive skin

The Nitty Gritty (NO PUN INTENDED!):

I wouldn't buy this again. Not because of the product, but the bottle is terrible. If the brush could be used separately it would be an awesome buy! I purchased it for $5.97 (5oz) at Walmart and I picked the Combination Skin formula. The scrub itself works great, it smells nice & it does what it says. However, it is a gritty scrub and with the brush it can be a little abrasive (please keep in mind that my face is sun burnt & sensitive right now!) It's very bulky when you are trying to wash your face & you have to use more product because the scrubbers are long and the scrub builds up at the base.

L'Oreal Go 360 Clean Deep Exfoliating Scrub:

Pros:

Smells amazing

Convenient packaging

Great for exfoliating

Inexpensive

Cons:

I really don't have any!

The Nitty Gritty:

I LOVE this scrub! It smells like grapefruit/orange and it works great. The exfoliator pops in & out of the bottle so it's easy if you are using it on the go. It was $4.97 for a 6 oz bottle at Walmart. I would repurchase this, it is super refreshing & doesn't dry my sensitive skin out. This would be a good alternative to Proactiv Cleanser which tends to make my skin break out after 4-5 weeks of use, so I like to switch it up.
I'll continue using both products & keep you updated on what I think!
