Review: Jurlique's Balancing Foaming Cleanser

Greetings, my friends!

Bottom Line - I will not repurchase this again. Not because it wasn't a fantastic cleanser, but because of it's packaging.

Jurlique:

Jurlique is an Australian company that follows strict organic and biodynamic farming principles. I believe it is the only Australian beauty company to be certified by the National Association of Sustainable Agriculture, Australia (NASAA). Jurlique also doesn’t test on animals.

Jurlique Balancing Foaming Cleanser:

I love this cleanser! I received a sample of it when I purchased Jurlique’s Love Balm (another fantastic product), and used this almost exclusively for the next year. What I loved about this cleanser was that it cleansed without drying my skin, evened my skin toned, and was very foamy. I also liked that it had a lovely light fragrance to it (that was not overpowering), and that it lasted for 3-to-4 months.

Having said that - I really hated the bottle. In total, I bought 4 or 5 bottles before I stopped purchasing it. The bottle uses a pump and about a quarter of the way through the bottle every time, the cleanser would start leaking out the bottle cap. At first I thought it was because I had taken it on a plane and maybe the pressurization had caused the bottle to swell and damaged it somehow - but it kept happening even when I didn't fly with the bottle. I'd say I probably wasted about 3-to-4 tablespoons of cleanser because of this defect. 

I contacted Jurlique twice to ask about the issue, but they said that they didn't have any reports of this happening. Which was odd because I know the second time I had called them and spoken about this particular issue. Anyway, this isn't an easy cleanser to find in my area and I purchased it from different retailers each time to determine whether it was a defect in the supply - and the problem kept happening. It may seem like a silly reason to not buy a product, but it's not cheap, and I don't like that so much of it was wasted on my sink.

Stats:
This costs $30 for 200ml and you can purchase this on Jurlique's website (www.jurlique.com), but it's also available at Sephora, Skinstore.com, Jet.com, Overstock.com, FeelUnique.com, and many many more stores. I preferred purchasing this from Jurlique's website because they have some awesome freebies from time to time and I liked trying out their other products.

I do not recommend buying high-end beauty products from Amazon or eBay. While I love Amazon and eBay and most sellers are legitimate with quality products - beauty products tend to be highly susceptible to fraud. If you're going to spend your hard earned money, make sure you're buying what you think you're buying. 

I hope this helps.

Review: 6 Different SokoGlam Sheet Masks

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line  - I would buy almost every mask again with the exception of the E-Nature mask. E-Nature: Per SokoGlam.com, E-Nature was founded on the principle of creating breakthrough formulas for your skin by fusing cutting-edge Korean technology with the safest and most effective natural ingredients. E-Nature's Squeeze Green Watery Sheet Mask: This mask was "okay." It's a cotton mask soaked in watery essence (not goo) which felt nice and cool on my face, but I didn't see any difference other than that it slightly hydrated my skin. It's meant to treat excess sebum, but I didn't notice a difference either. This costs $2.50, but I don't think I'll buy it again. Klavuu: Per SokoGlam.com, Klavuu is Korea's first marine pearl cosmetic brand that infuses natural pearl, essential oils, and marine plant extracts into their signature formulas. Natural pearls will enrich, hydrate, and firm the skin, for the most ra...

Review: Dermalogica's Oil Free Matte SPF 30

Greetings, my friends! Bottom Line  - this is a great matte daytime lotion which I think is worth a try for someone looking for a new lotion. Dermalogica : Dermalogica is an American skincare company founded by Jane and Rey Wurwand in 1986. However, before the first Dermalogica products were made - in 1983, Jane, a U.K. trained skin therapist, opened "The International Dermal Institute" for licensed skin therapists to teach hands-on postgraduate level skincare training. Realizing there weren't products on the market which matched what she was teaching, Jane and Rey established Dermalogica. They decided they wanted a p roduct line free of common irritants and ingredients which they felt led to breakouts, such as lanolin, SD alcohol, mineral oil, artificial colors, and fragrances - and that's exactly what they ended up creating. Dermalogica Oil Free Matte SPF 30 : This is a great light daytime lotion. Not only does it  soak in quickly and leaves a matte-ish s...
