RESULTS:
I'm always thrown off when I use sugar in my facial products. I mean, it's sugar that causes my face to break out in the first place. On top of that, the combo of brown sugar and rose seems odd and maybe even gross. But throw your expectations out, this was lovely! Although, I will add, I probably will just continue to make my own sugar scrub because it's less expensive.
It doesn't go on as smoothly as I would like it to, but once on it does add a nice subtle glow to your skin. I wasn't sure how much tint it really did add until I washed my face this evening and saw the difference. Probably not a repeat for me, but I'm enjoying it while I have it.
I absolutely love my homemade deodorant — it's basic, vegan, and I can change out the essential oils for a new scent every time. BUT... I do have to apply it twice a day if I don't want to offend people at the gym. If you're not into the homemade thing (or just don't have the time), I would recommend this deodorant. I only applied it this morning, and risked losing friends at the gym tonight to give it a good test. After an hour of cardio mix that was more sweaty than usual (and I was in a long sleeve shirt, what was I thinking?), I came out smelling like... nothing! It's unscented.
These are fun, and I think convenient for a night out on the town when you have a small purse and even a wallet. But the idea of paper waste over something like blush or bronzer doesn't cut it for me. If that doesn't bother, I believe you'd really like these! They come in a slew of colors and styles.
