Dr Brandt Microdermabraion

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a great week so far, and thank you for taking time to read my blog!

I have used the Dr. Brandt Pores No More and so when I received a deluxe size sample of the Dr. Brandt Mirceodermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator I was excited to try it out.

What It Claims

The Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator works for all skin types. It is an exfoliating scrub that can help with dull skin and uneven skin. It can help minimize fine lines and wrinkles. The Sephora website also states that it can be a solution for blemishes.
The formula contains aluminum oxide crystals, lactic acid, and soothing botanicals to buff away dead skin, give you glowing skin, and a more even skin texture.

Ingredient Information
This product is free of both sulfates and phthalates.

My Thoughts

I use a PMD Personal Microdermabrasion System at home once a week, but I really like having an exfoliating scrub to rub over my face, especially my nose and chin, when I need a deep clean. I noticed that this scrub is very fine, and that felt really nice on the skin, and didn’t irritate but was still very effective in cleaning out my pores. My face felt so clean after using this and my skin was glowing! I immediately asked my husband to try some on his noses, and he noticed his pores looked and felt cleaner right away. This product is expensive, but it is definitely my favorite exfoliating scrub that I have tried.

My Routine

After removing my makeup I lightly dampen my skin with warm water and then use this exfoliating scrub in circular motions all over my face. *Note: I focus on my nose, chin, and cheeks and try to not get too close to the delicate eye area.

If you’d like to see my Ipsy videos you can here on my YouTube channel. If there is a subscription service you would like for me to review or share with you, please let me know in the comments!

IPSY GLAM BAG OCTOBER 2015:

Theme:

Alter Ego

Bag:

It isn’t my favorite, but it’ll get the job done and I will use it. I do love these bags, they are handy for so many things when organizing or traveling.

Delectable Ultra Nourishing Hand Cream in Coconut Cream:

I was thrilled when I saw this because I needed a new hand cream now that it is getting to be colder and my hands are extra dry. This smells amazing and is really thick and feels pretty luxurious. I will have to see how it works though, because I’ve only used it once.

Aurora Gel Effect Nail Lacquer in Inky Dinky:

I have been wanting to try more gel formula nail polishes, and I love this deep navy color! And how cute is the name?! I believe this is full size too, which is fantastic. I think that there is also a gel top coat that you are supposed to use as a second step, which I don’t have, but I will test it out with a clear top coat.

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion:

I love Dr. Brandt Pores No More primer, and I’ve also tried this Microdermabrasion before and enjoyed it. It’s a decent sample, and I’ll be able to get 5 or more uses out of it.

The Balm Meet Matt(e) Hughes Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Committed:

I LOVE The Balm!! It is the makeup that the salon used for my wedding over five years ago, and ever since I’ve been hooked. I also am loving this liquid lipstick trend, and think that this color is a really great nude for fall. I think this is a very wearable color, and has a little bit of that 90’s lip trend going on, which I am a fan of.

Emite Make Up Tweezers:

I tested these out and they seem to work really well! I love that they have a little case, and it’s a lot sturdier than the cases that other tweezers I have are packaged in, but the lid doesn’t seem to stay on : ( I think mine is maybe just broken, but it’s a tiny bummer.

Overall:

I love this month! If you are interested, you can find out more about Ipsy here! I am thinking of canceling my Ipsy bag so that I can get Nature Box to open with Stephan : ) Let me know what you think!! Have a great start to your week! Don’t forget I post every Monday and Wednesday!
