Review: Michael Todd True Organics Charcoal Detox Cleanser

Product Name: Michael Todd True Organics Charcoal Detox Cleanser

( @michaeltoddtrueorganics )

What Michael Todd says about their product: "This unique cleanser utilizes the properties of Activated Charcoal in a base of organic aloe vera to neutralize acidity and absorb impurities while sugar cane and maple provide gentle exfoliation for increased cellular turnover. Amazingly absorbent, Activated Charcoal is widely known for its ability to effectively cleanse the skin, unclog pores and remove deeper impurities and dead skin cells. Beneficial for all skin types, powerful antioxidants and tea tree and other essential oils provide effective anti-aging and blemish healing properties, including treatment of acne, rosacea and eczema. Sulfate free "no tears" formula does not irritate eyes."

I received this trial sized cleanser as part of the Acne and Oily Skin Kit for $33.00. I honestly can’t say that I love this cleanser. It lasted long enough for me to decide that I would not be purchasing it again. First off the pump was horrible. I had to pump it like 15 times just to get a decent amount of product. It’s a gel consistency so only a little runny. It doesn't lather so you don’t get that squeaky clean feeling to your skin. I really don’t feel like it cleaned much at all. I think the only pro I can give it is that it didn't make me break out. So maybe it can work as just a basic daily cleanser. I do not feel that it benefited my skin in any way. After washing my skin it just felt okay. Not dry or oily so I guess it helps remove surface oil from throughout the day/night. It is a high priced item that I think if I can’t find a good drugstore alternative I will invest in. @aprilathena7 swears by it so I think I will get it again just as an everyday cleanser since I like that it didn't break me out or worsen my existing blemishes. It did not help with my acne but it helped with the oil so it did an okay job.

PROS:

-Cleans skin without overdoing it.

-Did not make me break out.

-Did not irritate my blemishes.

-Organic

CONS:

-Smell is strong.

-This specific packaging was horrible.

-Does not help remove makeup or deep cleanse.

-Did not help with clogged pores.

Overall Rating: 6/10

REVIEW: INM Out The Door Fast Drying Top Coat

If you want to know more about this product, please read on for the rest of the review and more pictures.

Hmm so where to start with this product? So you guys probably don't know this but I am completely obsessed with nail polish now. This new obsession is what led me to start my own indie nail polish company, Sindie POP! Lacquer. It also led me to start a new hunt for my HG nail products. So everyone knows that to have nice nails you need some essentials. Those essentials are: a good treatment, a good base coat, a good top coat, and a good cuticle cream. Over the last couple of months I have been buying a variety of these products to find my perfect one. Of course I'll have reviews of everything I have been trying.

HAUL: Nail Polishes From Transdesign.com

Hey guys I wanted to share with you a haul that I made recently. I might have gone a little overboard but when I see a good deal a light bulb goes off on my head that tells me that I can't pass it up. This is my first time purchasing from Transdesign.com and I must say that I am very pleased with the customer service. I ordered on a Sunday and I received my package the next Monday. From what I heard on average the package takes about 1 week to get to its destination. I decided to finally splurge on some new colors because the ones I have are just so BLAH to me. I picked up some from the hunger games collection, the Electropop collection, the island escape collection, and some from older collections. Also decided to check out a new base and top coat. Please keep reading to see up close shots of the rest of my new gorgeous babies.
