Spotted these in the Estee Lauder Staff Store & thought they were bargainous enough to try out!
The Aveda Outer Peace Foaming Cleanser is the pump type that foams automatically. Perfect for use with my Clarisonic Mia! I just pump the foam direct onto the brush head & it's good to go. I don't think it's great for full makeup removal, but fine as a final cleanser or to use first thing in the morning. The 50ml size could retail for around $20, so to pick it up for a fiver is fantastic.
Origins is a brand I've been keen to try, but the prices are just too steep for me to bother with.
When I spied this full size product for $10, I was like 'thank you very much I'll have that'!
At Mecca this retails at $43. Seriously. The write up for it reads:
This perfect foaming-face wash is formulated with nature’s rare Silver Tipped White Tea. In a pre-emptive sweep, dirt-grabbing minerals combined with the gentle, skin-compatible cleansing action of Palm, Coconut and Oat Amino Acid reach deep to help detoxify and free skin of harmful, free radical-releasing impurities before they settle down and cause skin-aging oxidation, deterioration, dehydration and even some forms of irritation. Skin is perfectly clean, smoothed and refreshed. It smells lovely. It doesn't foam up much though - which is a pet peeve of mine. For $10 I'm pleased with the bargain but would be pissed if I'd spent anymore on it. It seemed to remove makeup well enough - except for the eyes - which is a normal problem area for most face washes anyway. I tend to wash my face about 3 times whilst showering in the evening anyway, so it's rare for me to have any residual makeup lurking afterwards.
What's the most you've paid for a face wash - and was it worth it?
Wow, you wash your face 3 times? My face shrivels thinking about it! For some reason I always prefer lotion/cream cleansers.
ReplyDeleteThe most Ive paid for a face wash was probably around $40 for a Kiehls rare earth cleanser thats sadly disconned :(
Make sure you are not overstripping your natural oils if you wash your face too frequently.
ReplyDeleteI have to say Dermalogica Special cleanser was my most exy face wash. that was $65 for 500ml. I love it to bits though so I guess I'll have to keep forking out that amount for it unless I can find it cheaper.
