Two weeks ago I was roaming around Duane Reade in 34st, checking out what's new on the beauty section and I came across this "Botanics Ultimate Collection" Holiday set.

I really love the Purifying Face Scrub because it has tiny pieces of walnuts shells and apricot seeds which definitely scrubs your face real good, removing every dead skin and leaving your skin so much brighter. When you first feel the texture of the scrub you might think that the grains are going to be too rough but when you use it you realize its actually kind to your skin.
The Ionic Clay Mask is one of my favorite mask of all time. Let me tell you that this mask truly gets deep into your skin, deep into your pores! The only thing is that when it dries, it dries hard and you can't move your face at all because it'll hurt..not hurt in the sense of "hurt hurt"..you get what I mean lol but other than that I love it and it truly does it job. Oh! I recommend that before using it, first shake the bottle.
I'll confess that this was my first time using a toner and I didn't know what to expect from it but so far I'm loving it girls! My skin tone looks so much even, parts on my face where I'll be oily are not oily any more. It truly deep cleans your skin and leaves it feeling soft and smooth.
Lastly the Eye-Roll. This has been a life saver in the morning before putting on my make-up. It makes my eye area appear brighter and more awaken and diminish any puffiness that's going on. I love love this product!
So far I'v been using these products everyday (except the Purifying Face Scrub which it indicates to be used every 2-3 times a week and the Ionic Clay Mask which should be used once a week for 10 minutes) and let me tell you that I'm freaking loving them. I have combination skin but just a bit more oily than dry and these products truly help my skin maintain a balance, and is great! I also find it amazing how brighter my skin looks just in two weeks. It amazed me because most product out there you'll have to wait a month or more to see results. Also, my skin feel so much smoother and very refresh and the GREAT PART is that these products work perfectly well for people that suffer from acne, blemishes, acne scars and uneven skin tone. Its truly perfect and truly recommend it. Also, I recommend buying their Hydrating Day Cream.
