Olay | Pore Minimizing Cleanser + Scrub (Thoughts)

 Product Summary:

2-in-1 cleanser deep cleans and exfoliates to help minimize the appearance of pores. The deep cleansing ribbons sweep away dirt and impurities, and the exfoliating microbead ribbons refine the appearance of pores. Costs around 10-13$

***Not Cruelty Free👎***

The first thing I have to say is that I did not put this crap on my face. The microbeads or ribbons as they try to sell it is extremely terrible for the skin and the environment. Microbeads are tiny little pieces of plastic that can create micro tears in your skin.. And bacteria can enter these micro tears, leading to acne, infections and even wrinkles. The total opposite to what this cleanser should be doing. 

As well, microbeads will wind up in our oceans, and our precious ocean-life will end up consuming the plastic and turns said ocean-life toxic.And in consequence we end up consuming plastic. Please, never purchase anything with microbeads. The ingredient name in this product that is the microbead is Polyethylene. If you see this name in the ingredient deck, you drop that item and run for the hills. Trust me, your skin will love you for it. I stupidly bought this item on sale and it was a friend who advised me of how terrible microbeads are. 

Would I recommend?

Evidently, I won’t be recommending this product. It isn't good for our skin and our environment. And on top of it, it's not cruelty free. I'm happy I forgoed using this item because the last thing I needed was to ruin my skin and at the same time hurt the environment.

Neutrogena: Healthy Skin Instant Tone Corrector (Review)

Image
***Not Cruelty Free 👎*** This silky, lightweight formula is meant to smooth the skin and correct complexion in seconds. This formula contains essential soy which is "proven" to correct and brighten skin tone while also reducing the look of dark spots, pores and wrinkles. It also helps make-up to be applied smoothly and last longer. The SPF in the tone corrector helps the skin looking healthy. It can be worn alone or with makeup. It contains SPF 15 and is for all skin types. This product costs around $20 but I got it for a $1! You can checkout Neutrogena's website  here.   Essentially, this is a tone corrector and it can be used as a primer after moisturizer. When I read the description on the box I was praying to God that this would work because as I've previously stated in the past few blog posts I've written; this summer my skin has been freaking out with pimples and in consequence I have dark spots all over my chin area where I previously had pimples

True Blood: Season 1 Episode 6 Cold Ground (Episode Review)

Image
((((((This review contains spoilers.)))))) Adele Stackhouse is dead and of course Sookie is in shock but damn everyone keeps on bugging her. Can everyone just let the poor girl grieve? Of course Sam and Bill have to seize each other up. My question is why does Bill think he knows Sookie so well? Dude, you've known her maybe a week tops. Or has he known her for a week as he would like everyone to believe? I don't understand how Sookie was able to clean up the kitchen after her grandmother was murdered in it. It's a shame that Adele died she was such a gentle spirit.  Jason is just slowly deteriorating beyond belief. Addicted to vampire blood, suspected of several murders and now hitting his own sister. Thank God for Tara and Lafayette because they are amazing friends. They are funny and caring I wish they were my friends.  Sookie yelling and cursing at everyone during the funeral just made me laugh so much. I would react the same way if not worse had I been abl

Ouija: Origin Of Evil (Movie Review)

Image
(((((Please be warned there are spoilers))))) Movie Summary: In 1960's California, a fake medium's daughter tries to communicate with her late father through a Ouija board, but unleashes a demon instead. This movie is the prequel of the movie Ouija which I have already reviewed. The review for the movie Ouija is here. In the movie we are introduced to the Zander family. The widowed mother Alice and her two daughters Paulina and Doris. Due to losing her husband, Alice becomes the sole provider for her family and to earn some sort of income she performs séances to help her clients get closure from their passed loved ones. She makes money off of scamming people and she uses both her daughters to do it. Personally, I think it's really fucked up to exploit someone's pain and grief to make a few quick bucks. But using her own logic, through deceit she is able to provide some sort of comfort and closure. It does not take too long for Alice to incorporate the po
