Dermalogica ClearStart Foaming Wash Review

Today I am going to review one of the products I received in my Miss Glossybox November/December box. If you would like to see some other products I received in my monthly beauty box, please read one of my previous posts.

I love trying out new cleansers so I was very pleased to receive this product. It smells very fruity and a lot like oranges imparticular. I don't like oranges, nor do I like the smell but it isn't very strong so it is tolerable. I found that you do have to apply plenty of water in your hands before squeezing out the cleanser otherwise it doesn't foam properly but it isn't a problem. What I didn't like about this product was that it is very difficult to wash off. I didn't find it a problem if I applied it in the shower under constant running water but if I attempted to cleanse using just the splashing of the face method, it was extremely difficult and I found myself often wiping remaining soap suds off with a towel. I also don't like the packaging very much because it doesn't allow you to squeeze much product out onto your hand. It is quite a stiff, hard bottle and so it doesn't move very easily. This is a major disadvantage for me.

This product does work well against acne but I still would probably prefer my Neutrogena 3-IN-1 Acne Cleanser. I am going to continue using this product until i have used it up but I probably would not repurchase it.

Thank you for reading!

Miss Glossybox Unboxing

Recently I have been interested in the monthly beauty boxes and decided to subscribe to one. I researched lots into it and finally chose to subscribe to miss Glossybox. I understand what a difficult decision it is to decide between all the boxes out there so I thought I'd review it today for you.

It's safe to say I was thrilled to receive my first Miss Glossybox and was equally as thrilled to discover the contents. I think its a great idea that when you subscribe to Miss Glossybox, you fill out a beauty profile informing the Miss Glossybox team your skin type, hair type, complexion and preferences. As this is a Miss Glossybox, I will only receive products suited to my age group (teenagers and young adults) targeting good skin and complexion. Most people think that Miss Glossybox is all about the makeup and isn't worth the £7 every 2 months however I strongly disagree. Miss Glossybox contains 5 small beauty products and totals more around the £40 mark than £7. Also, out of the 5 products I received, only 1 makeup product. Here are the products I received:

1.  The Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash, originally priced at £13.00.

I'm overjoyed with this product, not only because I have already got more than my moneys worth with just this one product but it is a full sized product by a very good brand. For anyone who is not familiar with the brand Dermalogica, it is a brand often used in salons and professional beauty. I have been using this product and it has hugely cleared my skin. It smells fruity and like oranges and foams in your hand. You use this product daily, morning and night and it is a fantastic cleanser.

2. So… sinful? originally priced at £1.49.

I have always loved the 'So…?' products and I am very pleased I received this deodorant. It is a travel sized body spray therefore fits very easily in bags and lockers etc. It smells great and I am delighted to have received it. 

3. The Jelly Pong Pong 2-in-1 Eyeshadow/Liner originally priced at £10.50.

This eyeliner/eyeshadow is a nice gold colour and is obviously a great price considering its originally over £10. 

4. Lacoste Touch of Pink, the full size priced at £38.50.

Previously, my sister has had this perfume and I loved the scent so I was so pleased I got a small sample in my Miss Glossybox. It smells amazing and is great to have some considering the full price is £38.50! 

5. Little Mix Nail Wraps created by Elegant Touch (Jades nails) originally priced at £6.

I was so excited when I saw these nail wraps, they are so bright and colourful and have recently been looking at the Little Mix range. I'm especially pleased it was Jades nails as she is probably my favourite member. I'm extremely excited to use these and will write a review on them once I have.

Overall I'm very pleased with my first Miss Glossybox and am glad I chose this beauty box. I loved every single product and would definitely recommend subscribing. You get so much for your money and actually use the products given. I also like the fact that a free bag is included, it can be used as a makeup bag or to keep beauty products organised. I am very excited to receive my next Glossybox in January.

Thank you for reading, sorry this post is so long!
