Bioré Baking Soda VoxBox!

Wow, how time flies! How are you guys? I'm great! I have been busy/housesitting so I either don't have time or don't have a camera. But today I have time for you lovelies :D I'm here to share with you my Bioré Baking Soda VoxBox that I received from Influenster!

I'm actually not sure if I have used Bioré products before, but I feel like I have. Anyways I was really excited when I was given the chance to try these out, because I love a good pore cleaning product.

The first product is the Bioré Bakeing Soda Pore Cleanser. It is almost opaque and has a gel like consistency with a nice smell. It is very gentle when applied to the face, and slightly drying. It is meant to be used daily.

The second product is the Bioré Baking Sods Cleansing scrub. In the bottle it is a powder and then when you add water to activate it. It was also gentle on the face but dried it out waaaayyyy more. This is not a daily cleanser.

Overall after using these products form over a month they really don't do much for me.  The Pore Cleanser does do a good job taking off makeup and as a general facial cleanser, but if I want to really get at my pores I need to also use something in addition to this, like my facial brush from Sephora. Same goes with the scrub. That being said I wouldn't write this off completely. I feel like this didn't work perfectly for me, but if this is something you are interested in I would still say you give it a go. So many other people love it, and they can't all be wrong!

*Product sent for honest review.

Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream The Movie...Wait no. The Review.

I have been waiting weeks to do this review. 'Why?' you might ask. Because it's cream review. It's one of those things that I think you have to wait for a while(if you can) before you review them. I don't think it's an accurate review when you use them once. Now on to the review.

Today I have for you Water Bank Gel Cream from the Korean Brand Laneige. I received a full size pot for review from influenster.com. I was super excited that I was chosen to review this as it's the first time I have received anything from Influenster, and it was something I knew I would put to good use.

The product is described as 'A cooling, non-oily gel cream that immerses skin in moisture for 24 hours,' and is recommended for normal to combination skin. It comes in a sleek, 1.6 oz blue glass pot, and it is part of a 4-part system. The consistency of the cream is like a gel and a cream had a baby. It has a light scent to it that is a bit perfume-y(It smells exactly like a Lancôme night cream I own). It doesn't bother me, but those with sensitive noses may not love it as much. When you rub it into your skin it does feel really refreshing, while making your skin look healthy. And bonus points because it doesn't make you look greasy, as it absorbs quickly. It also plays nicely under primer and makeup. The pot also comes with a spatula, but I wasn't a fan of that. I always wash my hands thoroughly before sticking my fingers in and I found with the spatula I was less thorough with the cleaning. But that's just me.

Right after rubbing it into my skin. You would never know I had JUST put cream on.

I have been using this for around three weeks, 1-2 times a day and the pot is just past half way done(I'm sure it would be more had I been using it twice a day, every day) And while I can say I like it, I can't say I love it. Don't get me wrong, it's a good cream, but for $42 CND, the size, and the time it takes to go through the product, I don't think it's worth it. If you do buy it I don't think it's a bad investment because like I said before it's a great product, but I've used other things that are more than half the price that are just as good.

If you would like to give this a go, check it out over at sephora.ca or head over to your local Sephora, and pick one up for $42 CND.

*I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
