Review:[SKINFOOD] Black Sugar Scrub Foam

Hey!

So it's 6am and I couldn't fall asleep so I decided to do a review!Today I'll be reviewing Skinfood's Black Sugar Scrub Foam~!

I bought this when I went to a trip to Dubai,UAE with my family I think it was about 75AED($20) for 160g. I also wanted to get the cleansing oil from the same line,but they were sold out! The branch I went to only had a couple of products ! Most of the stuff were sold out :'( </3

Claims & How To Use:

If you cant see because the pic is blurry you can click HERE!

Ingredients:

My Thoughts:
I've heard/read lots of positive reviews about this product so I decided to try it out! It's a cleanser/scrub most people use it as a cleanser,but I use it as a scrub! What I liked about this product is that it gently exfoliates my face with the tiny sugar particles that makes your face feel like a baby's butt afterwords! (Who doesn't want soft skin?)If I wore make up on a certain day I would 1st remove my make up with my Bioderma then use this cleanser/scrub to make sure to get rid of all the dirt and deep cleanse my skin.I also like the scent it has a lemon-y scent,but isn't strong which I really like.Oh and don't let the "foam" part in the products name fool you,because it isn't foamy like a foam cleanser but you can see some bubbles.

It has a brownish beige kind of color with small sugar particles

After I added some water

I zoomed in so you can see the tiny bubbles

Pros:

♥Love the tube! It isn't stiff which makes getting all the product out possible

♥Makes you skin soft afterwords

♥Leaves your face feeling fresh and clean!

♥2in1 can be used as a Cleanser & a Scrub

♥Lemon-y scent

Cons:

♥None

Rating:5/5

Would i repurchase this product?

♥ Absolutely ♥

Have you tried any skinfood products before?

Hope you enjoyed reading my review! Good Night!

Review:[THE FACE SHOP] Clean Face Acne Solution Foam Cleansing

Hello my lovely readers ♥ 

Today I'll be reviewing The Face Shop's Acne Solution Foam Cleansing (Yes its written on the packaging "Cleansing" instead of "Cleanser") from the CLEAN FACE line.I have tried a sheet mask from this line and loved it!

Claims : 

Directions & Ingredients : 

My Thoughts:
I bought this cleanser about 4-6 months ago from The Face Shop store at Othaim Mall and I paid 50SR($13) for 150ml.I was walking in the mall when I suddenly saw a HUGE Kim Hyun Joong poster!!! <3 So of course crazy me rushed into the store ,and started putting whatever I Saw in my basket like they were free stuff! But unfortunately I only bought 1/4 of the stuff..and left the store with about $50 worth of products!! 
Anyways what were my thoughts about this product? I have used this product for the past couple of months on and off.It has a thick opaque white color as you can see in the pic below.

when you rub it between your hands it lathers up,but I prefer to use it with my foaming net.With the foaming net I get this soft foam that feels gentle on my skin,and its fun!Since this was my first cleanser from TFS I really wanted to like it,but unfortunately I didn't!!! 

The first time I used it I wasn't sure if I broke out,because of the cleaner or because it was almost that time of the month.So I used it for a month then changed my cleanser and my skin cleared.The Second time I used it I was also unsure,because I started using a new toner and emulsion from skinfood.So again I used it for about a month then switched the cleanser.The third time I realized it was the cleanser that broke me out!! I had about 1/3 of it left TT.TT and I didn't want my money to go to waste so I used it till I finally finished the tube.What I did though was mix it with my Tea Tree Cleanser from The Body Shop,and the result was I still broke out but it was waaaaaaaaay less severe so that's much better!

Pros:

♥ Nice packaging

♥ Super foamy when used with my foaming net

♥ A little goes a long way

Cons:

♥ Broke me out like crazy

♥Has a citrus-y smell

♥ Made my skin feel tight after cleansing

Rating:0/5  (-.-")

Would I repurchase this product?

Never ever again! I hated it!!!

Have you tried this cleanser before ?did it also break you out?

Also I'm debating whether to buy Etude House's Baking powder deep pore cleanser or Laneige's multi cleanser? I have heard good things about both,but i can't seem to  decide which to get!

But I won't buy any new cleanser unless I finish using all the cleansers I have which are: 

♥ (2) Collagen by Watson's Moisturizing and Brighting foam cleanser.

♥ Neutrogena deep clean foam cleanser.

♥Limi rose sonnet whitening gel cleanser.

♥The Face Shop Herb day 365 mung beans cleanser.

You can see those cleansers except for the face shop one in my China Haul!

Have you tried any of the cleansers mentioned in the list?

Have a good day~!

I know what your probably thinking "OMG she final posted the collective haul" I'm terribly sorry I have been busy (Kind of).It's because since school ended I have been pulling all nighters watching Nail shop Paris (K-drama) and Gossip Girl(I'm on Season 5 Ep 15.. 1 more season to go).So my sleeping got messed up,but I'll fix it I Promise!

Today I'm FINALLY doing my collective haul.I'll be showing you the thing I accumulated over the past month or so.I wont be doing any hauls for a while,because I'm doing the Project 15 Pan

So I thought I should check out Asian stores around me,and they had it!

Sephora

♥ Outrageous Volume Mascara(limited Edition Packaging)

 The packing is so eye catching! I was going to buy the same mascara,but the boring black version.Then when I was on my way to check out I saw the Limited Edition gold packing so of course I got the prettier one!
