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.

• 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)

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!

My skin has been acting weird lately and these products in my bag helped my skin a lot. My skin couldn’t be more happier and the best part is, I smelled yummy too! 🙂 Everything in this bag were put to the test thoroughly.

I’m very happy with my July Play! by Sephora box a lot.

One of the best bag so far!
