CLINIQUE Pep-Start 2-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser
Exfoliation is achieved through the natural enzymatic action of papaya extract and the manual action of natural silica and bamboo beads. The base provides a cooling cushion, and foams into a satisfying lather.
Thoughts:
- The beads doesn’t dissolve quickly even with warm water
- The granules feels like a fine sand but it exfoliates really nicely.
- Sticky consistency that you must wash your face thoroughly
- A tiny amount goes a long way
- My skin feels clean and refreshed every after use
- It has a mild papaya scent (pleasant smell)
- Keeps my skin oil-free which is great
- I’m definitely impressed with this product

-Biotin: Support’s hair’s natural keratin, which maintains the health of your hair and skin.
-Keratin: Supports hair’s natural strength and elasticity.

Thoughts:
I received the same exact mascara back in my September Play! by Sephora box and I love this mascara a lot! The wand doesn’t look appealing at first glance but this wand does a great job in making my lashes look volumised, long and super black. It doesn’t flake and holds the curl well. I Love it!

That Fresh Rose Face Mask sounds great – I wonder if I have a sample of it laying around somewhere.
I’ve yet to try any of Clinique’s Pep-start skincare but there have been mostly good reviews.
That Tarte lippy colour is so nice! And that tube is really eye catching too – you can spot that blue so easily among all the black tubes. 😛

The Rose Mask feels really cooling on the skin. I was worried on the Clinique coz I used to love their facial was before but that didnt last long and it broke me out like hell.. but this one so far is really nice! A super tiny amount goes a long way. And yes, the tarte lippy is beautiful and the packaging is very visible.. haha
