Review: Garnier 5 Second Blur Skin Renew Instant Smoother

Hello everybody and welcome to another review! Today I have the Garnier 5 Second Blur Skin Renew Instant Smoother. My goodness is this one a mouthful. This is relatively new at the drugstore and is a primer for your face. 

The drugstore has been coming out with a lot of primers for this spring and this particular product peaked my interest. 

Claims: Garnier's Skin Renew 5 Second Blur Instant Smoother is a new generation product. It's designed to instantly blur the visible signs of aging including: wrinkles, fine lines, flaws, and visible pores. In 5 seconds, skin feels smoother, looks younger, and is more radiant. (www.ulta.com)

These are amazing claims for this product and I was certainly intrigued by it. So let's get on with the review!

Review: Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser

How excited was everyone else when Maybelline announced that they were launching their Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser in America?! Because, I sure was! I mean I've seen other people haul it in videos but it was only available in the asian market. I didn't want to pay shipping and what not to get a very affordable product in stores. Besides, I don't have any close friends in Asia to have them send it to me.

Now that America finally has it, I made a beeline to the drugstore. I knew from watching beauties on youtube that I was most likely to find this primer at CVS. And I actually did find it, which is a miracle for me because I never find new products so easily. 

CVS had hidden the display on like a low shelf in the back with other new drugstore products, so it wasn't displayed proudly like the new Maybelline Elixirs (which there will be a review up on that soon). They had a couple left so I snagged one for a pretty affordable price of $7.99. I bet it was like $6 in other stores but I knew if I didn't just grab the one at CVS I wouldn't be able to find it anywhere else.

So, with my overexcitement in hand, let's review the product!

Review: Boscia Tsubaki Beauty Oil

SPOILER ALERT: This is an awesome product. In fact, I can easily that this is a HOLY GRAIL product. I am writing this review in the winter time, and let's just say my skin suffered some trauma. I go to school in Boston, and the temperature is a bit lower than the normal back home. It was about a month or so ago, and all of a sudden my face sprouted small bumps all over. My entire face was pretty much blotchy and it felt like I had completely different skin. I am usually combo-oily, so these bumps and small acne have never occurred before. So I thought, "I NEED A MIRACLE." And this is that miracle.

I tried different cleansers and such to combat what was happening on my face, and after much consideration, I've come to the conclusion that my skin is acting the way it is due to dryness. Luckily, I received a 500-point Boscia set from Sephora, which included a mini Tsubaki Beauty Oil. At this point, I was ready to try anything, and once i put this all over my face, I knew this would change my skincare routine FOREVER.
