The Neutrogena bird came to visit again recently (my bathroom is full of this stuff now, love it) in the form of their new product the Wave.  I took an awesome photo of this here Wave but it sadly died with every other bit of content I ever had on my laptop when it crashed last week. It was a nice photo too but let’s not dwell on the negative let’s get back to this Wave. Sorry for the boring stock pics :(

This little bitty is a vibrating….thing that you stick a little pad onto that already contains some neutro goodness on it. The pads come with the kit and stick on super easily like Velcro, then  you just wet the thing (I choose to do so in the shower) and press down the button and it makes the pad vibrate softly and you rub it all over your face. So, the concept is a little odd but you know what? I like this thing. I’ve used it like once a day for the last week or so and it really does leave your skin hella soft and smooth. I was worried it would dry your skin out but it doesn’t. It doesn’t lather up heaps (unlike the misguiding image above), it’s really gentle. I’ve had a flu and been in my week of hormonal hell where my skin usually turns to that of a 14 year old, but I didn’t cop a single zit, instead my skin was crazy perfect, poreless! It could have been a total coincidence but I’m gonna say it was helped in part by ol’ Wavey.

Is this item a necessity? No. A scrub will probably do the same thing but it does do something. I liked using it on my chin and especially on my neck. Good lord, do you know how much dirt is on your neck??! Heaps. It’s really good at getting to all of those spots and it’s gentle enough to use everyday. I would use it and then dry off and use Clinique moisture surge and my skin was amazoid. And you can see all the dirt on the pad which is always satisfying.

The only  negatives I’d say are the fact that a) it takes batteries, another thing you gotta worry about running out. B) You will have to buy special refill pads once the ones with the pack run out (guess you could try using just a makeup pad and putting a bit of cleanser on it but) and c) it’s a bit wasteful. All these pads you just throw out and then this plastic thing. That said I’m sure a lot of young girls will end up finding alternative uses for the wave long after it’s face washing duties are over. Haha. So maybe it’s the start of a long committed relationship rather than landfill afterall. I swear this thing is gonna lead to many a girls personal awakening at some stage.

At any rate, if it's good enough for V-Hudge, it's good enough for me!

I LOVE YOU V-HUDGE!!

Hello hello and welcome to my next installment of Product Pimpin'. I gotta say I am loving getting this stuff sent to me on the reg. I have so much face wash and the like right now, I practically climb into a Priceline each and every time I enter the shower. This time around I was sent the Neutrogena Acne Stress power scrub and facewash and this whole pack of Clean and Clear Advantage stuff. And here my dears is my reviews...

First up is the Acne Stress Power Scrub and cleanser. I've seen the ad and the chick is like "When you stress out you break out and then you stress out about breaking out!" I hear ya girl! That's my shit right there! I always break out when stressed which lately is all the time. This scrub is really good, not too 'scrubby' so you could use it daily, but enough little beads to do it's thing. To be fair and honest, I had the massivest zit ever while I was using this. When I'm hormonal like a beast, there is no stopping my chin, like insano zits. Sucks but it's a part of life. This stuff didn't make it go away. I was kinda beyond that, BUT  I haven't had a zit since. There face wash Read more

Woah, the product is coming through thick n fast for review these days. Works for me, I'm so lazy I haven't been to Priceline in a good while. Hell, my birth control prescription has even expired, I'm living on the edge yo! Haha, I'd be def up to trial a new pill btw, preferably something that makes my breasts bigger (I've heard of magic ones which do this!).

But anyway back to the product at hand. Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser. I'm a big Neutrogena fan from way back. Honestly Neutrogena is the bomb. I call it poor man's Clinique, and that is not to say it's like a dodgy version of Clinique but rather just as good and like a quarter of the price. I've been using Neutrogena since I was a little wee CC at the tender age of 13. Even their face soap which is like a couple bucks is really good. I used to use that because my mum was too pov to buy me the proper cleansers! Ahhh family bankrupcey, but that's a story for another time.

I have great nostalgia for any Neutrogena, even though I use it to this day (my bf does too, by that I mean he uses all my shit). I remember this product came out when I was like in grade 9 in the late 90's and Jennifer Love Hewitt was the face of the brand. Yep in those days, she was the BUSINESS!

Call me a sellout, call me whatever you like, just not late for breakfast! I was recently asked to review a bunch of moisturiser products from the new brand Aveeno. Ooooh! My first ever product review, I feel like I work for Cosmo. Haha. Hopefully the first of many more to come. Working for a boy-ish mag (split is 60/40 for the record, so not that blokey really) I hardly ever get hooked up with girl stuff, so bring it on! I was pretty pumped when this arrived in the mail....

Woohoo! That's a lot of moisture right there. So that big bottle there is Aveeno Daily Moisturising lotion, the one in the white box is 'Positively Radient Daily Moisturiser' and the lil ones are mini versions of the body moisturiser (guess my travel kit is sorted for the next 2 years, no seriously if anyone wants some lemme know!). The body moisturiser is full of oats and the face moisturiser has got all of this soy extract in it. Mmmm tofu-ey. Alright now into the review!
