Hello, Beautiful!

I am a face mask and exfoliator addict, and the Jurlique Fruit Enzyme Exfoliator is another winner in my book! This fast (5 minutes or less) face exfoliator gets your skin soft and smooth, while feeling clean and looking healthy. Read my full review below, including all the product info, after the pics.

Jurlique Fruit Enzyme Exfoliator

  


 




Jurlique Fruit Enzyme Exfoliator Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: $45.00 (1.7 oz full size). Available on the Jurlique website, at Sephora, and everywhere else Jurlique products are sold.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

A highly effective fruit-based facial treatment that exfoliates skin to create a visibly smoother and more revitalized complexion. Creates a visibly smoother, clearer skin appearance. Leaves skin looking instantly revitalized and healthy.

Natural, indigenous Australian extracts, such as Desert Lime, Quadong and Wattle, noticeably and gently exfoliate dead surface skin cells. Fruit and Vitamin extracts help revitalize and smooth skin's appearance. Sodium Hyaluronate helps balance and retain skin's moisture level.

This product contains natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen and limit sun exposure while using this product.

To Use: Apply to clean skin in a thin layer, of course avoiding the eye area. Leave on for up to 5 minutes.

I really loved this exfoliator. It's no wonder it has rave reviews everywhere. It leaves my skin looking and feeling great, clean, and smooth. Does it's job, and does it quickly without any negative side effects. You may feel a slight tingle/stinging sensation after you apply it (depending on your skin sensitivity and if you have any active blemishes) but it's not intense and I actually like it - I feel like I can really feel the product working.

It has a liquid-gel like texture, and you only need to apply a thin layer so this one bottle will last a good amount of time. The smell is okay -- I thought it would smell more fruit-look but it doesn't.

I absolutely would recommend this exfoliator! Love it!

September 2011 Birchbox - shipment #2

Hello, Beautiful!

This is my husband's September 2011 Birchbox shipment. I've made a separate post for my September 2011 Birchbox Shipment, which you can view by clicking here.

I have to say, his September shipment is WAY better than mine. His value is almost double what mine was. His box is a "normal" shipment, unlike my box and many others whose box value was between $9 and $13.

Enjoy! :)

Now I'll break it down, product-by-product...

INCOCO Nail Polish Applique
  • DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: We all have a wild side. Nail strips are the latest trend -- try them on your fingers or toes.
  • MY THOUGHTS: I'm a lover of all things nail related, so of course I was excited to get these nail strips. I had gotten nail strips in my Birchbox shipment that were Leopard Print, but I think I like this design even better!
  • FULL SIZE: 16 strips @ $7.99
  • SIZE I RECEIVED: 12 strips
  • VALUE: $6.00
 






COLORSCIENCE PRO Sunforgettable Mineral Powder SPF 30 in Medium
  • DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: Who has time for a multi-step AM routine? A mineral sunscreen that evens and mattifies skin means more time for coffee -- plus it lasts all day.
  • MY THOUGHTS: I was very happy to receive this product because I'm currently in a mineral powder foundation phase... even though I'm typically a liquid foundation type of gal. I haven't tried it out just yet but I plan to try it out pretty soon.
  • FULL SIZE: 0.21 oz @ $28
  • SIZE I RECEIVED: 0.05 oz
  • VALUE: $6.67


 









JOUER Lip Enhancer
  • DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: Why settle for plain 'ol lip balm when you can hydrate, plump, and condition all in one go? Right, we thought so.
  • MY THOUGHTS: I received this same lip treatment in my Birchbox shipment, but now I have two. Yay! I gave it a test drive and I can say my lips felt super soft, but the smell and taste where grandma-ish.
  • FULL SIZE: 0.33 fl oz @ $14
  • SIZE I RECEIVED: 0.07 fl oz
  • VALUE: $2.97
 









JURLIQUE Purely Age-Defying Firm and Lift Cream
  • DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: Get ahead of the anti-aging game. Jurlique's luxurious moisturizer spurs collagen production and new cells to keep skin healthy and youthful.
  • MY THOUGHTS: My husband already claimed this product because I had questioned adding to my skin care routine. I'd love to try it though, so maybe I could share with him :)
  • FULL SIZE: 1.7 oz @ $70
  • SIZE I RECEIVED: 0.17 oz
  • VALUE: $7.00
 








SALVATORE FERRAGAMO Attimo L'Eau Florale
  • DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: The designer's latest scent taps into our sophisticated side with delicate peony and jasmine.
  • MY THOUGHTS: Again, if you don't know by now, I'm not a fragrance gal. Today I have a headache so I'm not even going to attempt to smell it.
  • FULL SIZE: 3.4 fl oz @ $85
  • SIZE I RECEIVED: 0.05 fl oz
  • VALUE: $1.25
 





Birchbox Friendship Bracelet (extra)

  • DESCRIPTION ON INFO CARD: It's been a year! and we couldn't have done it without you (thank you.). Wear this friendship bracelet as a reminder that there is beauty in discovery, and delight in anticipation. Here's to many more beauty-filled months.
  • MY THOUGHTS: Obviously my husband is not going to wear this bracelet, so now that I have two I might wear one occasionally. I don't tend to wear a lot of jewelry anyway, but this bracelet is cute. Nothing super special, but certainly is dainty and girly looking.
  • FULL SIZE: n/a
  • SIZE I RECEIVED: n/a
  • VALUE: n/a
