Review: Olay ProX Advanced Cleansing System


What is it?  
"An advanced cleansing system that cleanses 6x better and helps maximize the immediate hydrating effectiveness of your anti-aging moisturizer."

Retail Price:  $29.99

Where to buy:  Most retailers

My thoughts and experience:
It was time to get a new facial cleanser because my old one fell off a cabinet and the cover to the batteries broke off! This was the other affordable facial cleanser that was on my list, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Five things that I personally love about this item is:
  1. The price.
  2. The brush is very soft, it's great for my sensitive skin.
  3. It's small and can get all the parts of my face.
  4. Waterproof - I can use it in the shower.
  5. Two speeds - one for cleaning and the other for exfoliating.

It also came with a small Olay ProX exfoliating cleanser, but I found that this was too drying for my skin. It has small, fine, micro beads to help exfoliate the skin. The exfoliator will work better for other skin types, I suppose.
Olay also has the brush head refills for $9.99 at most places. You can use any facial cleanser with this tool. 
I absolutely have nothing bad to say about this cleansing tool, and highly recommend it! 

Have you tried cleansing tools like this?

Review: Sigma F80 - Flat Top Kabuki brush

What is it?
The F80 flat top kabuki brush is perfect for applying and blending liquid, cream, and powder products onto the skin. The flat surface allows perfect buffing with flawless results. Made with synthetic Sigmax HD filament. - Sigma brochure

Price: $16


Where to buy: sigmabeauty.com
 

My thoughts: The Sigma F80 has a very nice weight and feel to it. The handle is long and comfortable when applying foundation. I've applied mineral foundation as well as liquid foundation with this brush for this review. The full and dense bristles feel SO soft on my face. When applying liquid foundation, it goes on evenly and does not leave a streaky finish. Applying mineral foundation in circular motions with the F80 allows for easy buffing. This brush is wonderful for larger parts of the face (cheeks, forehead, chin area) but works well on the smaller parts too (nose, upper lips). After using it for two weeks, I do not notice bristle fall out. Overall, this is easily my new favorite foundation brush. I highly recommend it.
