My current face creams

Happy February everyone! ♡ I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while.  January wasn't the greatest month for us. We ended up catching that awful flu going around (I think I mentioned that before). Being pregnant and sick is the worst. It took me two weeks to start to feel back to normal. I no longer started feeling better and I got the terrible news my grandfather passed away.  So I'm hoping February is a better month for us. 

Anyways, sorry for the life update! Getting back to it,  this post is about face creams. I'm always looking for a good face cream, and  good facial products in general. I believe face products are one thing you should splurge on. Here's a few creams I've been using lately and my opinion on them.

Note: My skin is normal/dry. Sometimes in the summer my t-zone will get oily though.

$39

For normal, oily, combination 

• I really like this moisturizer. I use it before putting on my makeup because it blurs imperfections. It's supposed to be matte for oiliness but it still feels hydrating which I really like since my skin can be a bit dryer, especially in the winter.

$48

For all skin types

• I also really like this moisturizer. I think this one might be my favourite out of the three I've been using. It's supposed to be good for dryness, uneven skin tone and uneven texture. I find it does help with all three. It's not heavy and makes my skin feel smooth and moisturized.

$82

For all skin types

• I'm not sure why exactly I bought this. I had heard really good reviews on this cream and the brand. It says it's good for all skin types but I think you really only benefit from it if you have oily skin. It's supposed to tighten pores and leave your skin smooth, but I feel like it doesn't even penetrate my skin since it's a water cream. It just kind of slips on your face. For the price I was expecting a lot more.

Here's some other creams I've tried and liked or want to try:

Tide purclean Review

    I recently had the chance to try out Tide purclean for free and give a review on it through the company Bzzagent. I thought I'd share my review with you, if like me, you were excited for Tide to come out with a natural laundry detergent.

So here it is.

Cleans clothes well, just isn't as clean of a product in terms of ingredients

I usually use natural laundry detergents, especially with my daughter's clothes, so I was a bit excited when I saw Tide come out with this. After doing some research I found it's only 65% bio-based and there are still some harmful chemicals in this detergent. But I did try it out and made a pros and cons list. 

Cons: Contains perfume 

Contains SLS 

Contains Petroleum based chemicals 

(Tide still tests on animals) 

Pros: Although it has perfume in it, it's a mild scent. 

Removes stains well 

Doesn't fade colors 

Free of dyes and chlorine 

I'm glad to see Tide is trying to be more green, but I still wouldn't use this detergent on my daughter's clothes. If you're not concerned about any of the things I have listed in the cons, then I'd say try out this detergent. It works well to remove stains and they're headed in the right direction with being more plant based.

Also, if you haven't heard about Bzzagent you should definitely check out their website. You fill out surverys to try out products for free and then review them! 

Happy Friday!
