Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash

Love it!

I've had the worst time trying to find a good cleanser that removes makeup well all while not irritating my temperamental skin. This stuff is gold! It cleanses really well (although today for the first time, I had a bit of a struggle trying to get my eye makeup off), and it leaves my skin feeling soft and squeaky clean! I've tried a ridiculous number of cleansers, anything from Neutrogena to Clinique to Cosmedicine... this is pretty much at the top of my list. Add the low cost, and you really can't complain!

Merlot Skin Care Merlot GGRAPE SEED MOISTURIZER

Awesome Stuff!

I had read reviews on this moisturizer before, but I'm usually pretty skeptical about things. Luckily for me, this huge jar of lotion costs about $15 so I didn't have to worry about trying it out, hating it, and then cursing myself for believing the hype and losing money from it. I only have two problems with it. 1) It's really only sold at Walgreens which pretty much sucks if the closest one is a 30 minute drive from where you live and 2) the tacky packaging. Other than that, it's pretty awesome. It's really light, so if you have super dry skin, this might not be the right moisturizer for you, but I've noticed that if I just apply a little bit more in the areas where I'm feeling particularly dry, it'll work just fine. The scent is pleasant also, not strong but citrus-y, and even though I've only been using it now for about a week, I really can see a difference in my skin. My mild acne is clearing up nicely, and I don't get that greasy feeling at all anymore. Bottom line, it's a great deal for what you pay.
