Requested Review!

       This is a review of the Neutrogena Deep Clean Long Last Shine Control Daily Scrub. It's claims are this: This scrub gently exfoliates and goes deep down to pores to clear out impurities and built-up oil at the source. It's so effective, it instantly absorbs 85% of built up oil that can lead to excess shine. Plus, patent-pending rice protein technology acts like a microsponge to continue absorbing excess oil for long-lasting, fresh, breathable skin.

  • Oil-Free



  • Won't Clog Pores



  • Won't Overdry Skin



  • Dermatologist Tested
    First this product comes in a 4.2 fl oz tube and is colored blue. I know saying the color of it seems kind of stupid, but I actually tend not to buy something if it is a weird color. It smell is not chemical, but it is not really describable. It has very fine grains of exfoliate in it to gently buff away dead skin cells. I saw a noticeable increase in how long I started getting oily. It added about an hour or two depending so that gave me about 3 to 4 hours. It cost any where around 6-8 dollars. It did help overall and I will probably repurchase if I don't find anything better.Overall, I do recommend it, but it is not a miracle product. If anyone has found the miracle for oily skin PLEASE share! ;) If you think I need to add another aspect to my review to make it better please tell me in the comments! Also, I am always open to reviews but just so you know I do not have any Mac and I only have a handful of higher end cosmetics. I shop mainly at Ulta and get the drugstore or occasional high end item. You can request any product review but if it is higher end I cannot grantee I will have it to review.

    Blu_Ray High Definition Mattifier by Cargo

           I used the Urban Decay Mattifier and finished the tube and I thought that it was alright, but it wasn't the best I could get so I purchased this Mattifier for 28 dollars. It looks orange coming out of the tube, but blends right into my fair skin tone. It feels silky on your skin and helps keep my oil level down for 5ish hours. I have really noticed a difference in the amount of oil produced and how much makeup is transferred when a blot. Over all it is worth the splurge, in my opinion, for this product.

    Helpful Hints!

           The posts titled like this will be things I've learned from personal experience. If your like me after you got your eyebrows done for the first time you liked the way they looked and wanted to keep them maintained. A little while after I got them done I found them them uneven, so I tried to even them out. I got a little pluck happy and took about half of them of..... They were even, but they were only half there.... It looked ridiculous. I had to attempt to regrow them and had to deal with how to fill them. One thing that I used that I think helped them grow faster is the Castor oil. I applied a thin coat of it with a cotton swab to my eyebrows and where the eyebrow was previously. They grew back in about 6 weeks. There really is no miracle product that can fix it in a week, but they can grow back quicker than 6 weeks depending on how quickly your hair grows in general. Also when you try to fill them in use a powder. A wax can fill in spare areas, but it will look very unnatural if there is no hair there. A pencil makes eyebrows (if there is no hair there) very unnatural so powder is your best bet.

    Maybelline Falsies Vs. One by One Volume Express

           Maybelline has recently came out with two new mascaras, both of which are hyped up a lot. But are they really worth it? Starting with The Falsies, it has a non-plastic brush which normally I don't prefer, but it is in a curve with does make it better. The formula lenthens and makes your lashes appear fuller. The only problem I found with it is it does not dry quickly so I would occasionally find it below my eyes when I looked down before it dryed.
    Maybelline's One by One is aslo an amazing lengthing and filling.  More on the lengthing side though in my opinion. It has a plastic brush with bristles in an oval shape. I have no problem with this formula drying, so Iprefer this mascara over the Falsies.

    Overall, I recommend both of these products. If you have any questions please coment below!
