Last month I tried Pur Minerals Pressed Powder which I really liked. Their Mineral Glow Powder ($24) is an all over powder that is supposed to give a natural glow. At first I thought this was a bronzer because when I first looked at it it seems pretty dark. But when I applied it I noticed it was more of a golden shimmery colour. When applied all over your face it gives that "sun kissed", gohden goddess look. And what's good is that, depending on how much you apply, it can be a very subtle hook or you can apply more strongly on your cheeks or where ever. Overall, I think it's a good product but I wouldn't say it's amazing and I'd probably recommend just getting a cheaper knock off at the drugstore.
Next is the Moroccan Oil Treatment ($42). Like I said in my previous post I have frizzy, dry hair. A few months ago I tried another argan oil product and did not like it at all. It didn't make my hair any less frizzy or feel any less dry. So I was very skeptical about this Moroccan Oil because it is essentially the same thing only more expensive. And in this case the cheap knock off argan oil was definitely showed up by the more expensive Moroccan Oil. My hair felt incredibly soft after putting it in and it felt super hydrated and barely even frizzed out when I let it air dry. I normally only wash my hair every couple days and I find my hair will get really dry and frizzy at the ends. Using the oil, even after 2 days my hair still felt really soft and smooth.
Laura Mercier's Perfecting Water ($38) is a toner mist that you apply before any moisturizers/serums and it's supposed to super hydrate your skin. As a toner it works really well. In the sample it didn't come in a spray bottle so I just put some of it on a cotton pad and you could see all the make-up and dirt my cleanser didn't even take off. It does seem fairly hydrating and I used my moisturizer afterwords. For me this product would be better to test once winter comes because my skin gets really dry and flaky during the day and this is supposed to keep your skin hydrated all day and helps cell renewal.
Lastly, Mereadesso's Face and Neck Toning Gel ($120). Obviously this isn't a product I really need because there's nothing to tone or tighten yet. It also says you'll notice a difference after 3-5 days but since I don't expect much of a difference I'm just doing a first impressions review. The product has a very thick but smooth texture, not watery. It does absorb really fast into the skin and my face felt a little tingly afterwards. I applied it under my eyes where I have noticed a little loss in elasticity and there was a difference. The skin snapped back quicker but I wouldn't say it's an amazing difference. I will continue to use it for the next couple of days so if I do notice a huge improvement I'll let you guys know!
