Simple: Radiance Cleansing Wipes Review


I have been a lover of the brand Simple for about a year now.  When I saw these new cleansing wipes on the shelf at Walgreens, I was quick to pick them up.  

Simple is an amazing product for sensitive skin.  When I originally started using them, my skin wasn't as sensitive as it is now.  I have tried many makeup remover and cleansing wipes and always go back to Simple.

Simple is:
Dermatologist Tested
Ophthalmologist Tested
Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers
Hypoallergenic
Non-comedogenic

Simply put, Simple is good stuff.  They are alcohol free.  They don't contain any artificial perfume or dyes and they are made with Mango Extract, Glycerin, and Bisabolol, ingredients your skin will love.  While I don't notice a "radiance" effect, these wipes leave my skin feeling clean and refreshed.  They don't leave a film on my skin and  don't burn my eyes which are major bonuses.  

I love these wipes and I will continue to repurchase them.

Thanks for reading!

Discount June: My Favorite Moisturizer From The Drug Store


Today I thought I would share with you my favorite moisturizer, that just happens to be cheap!

The Olay Complete is my current favorite moisturizer from the drug store.  I purchased this from Walmart, for about $6.00.  I always choose a daytime moisturizer with sunscreen for all year round.  This one has an SPF of 15 which is good enough for me during the winter.  Now that we are getting in to the summer months, I will have to bump up the SPF or add an additional sunscreen.  

I have been using this bottle for the past 5 months.  After buying it on a whim, honestly I was on the search for a cheaper moisturizer, I am hooked.  It provides the perfect amount of moisture for my normal to dry skin.  It absorbs quick and I never feel greasy and my makeup applies so smoothly over it.

This is also available in a version to oily skin.  I highly recommend this moisturizer for anyone who is looking for a great and affordable option.  

Thanks for reading!

L'oreal Youth Code Day/Night Lotion Review

 
I think this is a pretty good product.  The consistency is very nice, it has a light but pleasant smell, and absorbs into the skin beautifully.  The one down side to it being both a day and a night cream is that there is no spf in it. You would have to wear an additional sunscreen during the day if you wanted sun protection.  On the other hand, if you have an irritation to some sunscreens or need a moisturizer with out any due to photographs then this is great!

I like that you can use it for day or night.  It makes it more affordable that way.  This actually came attached to a face wash in a set I found at Target.  When I purchased it , the set was clearanced for only $10! I believe the lotion itself  normally retails for $20 at Walmart or Target and is probably a few dollars more at your local drug store. 

Overall, I think it's a  great product with only one downfall.

This is just my opinion.  I would love to know if you've used this product and what you thought of it.

Simple Skin Care Cleansing Facial Wipes Review

After spending a few days in the hospital, due to the birth of my son, and using these like crazy I wanted to post a review on the Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes.





These facial wipes are amazing! They actually do what they claim and remove waterproof makeup!  I only wear waterproof mascara, so for me this is very important.

They are very gentle on your skin and truly did leave my skin feeling clean and soft.  I did not break out from using them.  The wipes contain Pro-Vitamin B5 that is said to restore, soften and smooth the skin.  They are alcohol free and contain no dyes or perfumes.  They are hypoallergenic and safe for contact lens wears to use.

They run just under $5, depending on where you you get them.  I got mine at Walmart, and each package contains 25 wipes.

If you are looking for a great facial wipe that is sensitive on the skin, I would definitely give these a try.

Have you tried these or another product from the Simple brand?  This product has me eager to try the rest of the Simple line!
