L’Oreal has added to their Pure Clay Collection! There are three new, clay based cleansers as well as a new mask made from Kaolite, Montmorillonite, Ghassoul, and Seaweed. Love!

The L’Oreal Pure Clay cleansers compliment the three original clay masks introduced by L’Oreal last summer. The cleansers are a great way to enhance the benefits reaped by using the L’Oreal clay masks. They clear up skin, leaving pores clear. They are almost like a mini-facial!

These Pure Clay cleansers by L’Oreal are great to use daily; while I recommend using the matching mask once per week. I usually do my mask on Sunday evenings. My favorite from the collection is the Charcoal Pure Clay cleanser. It really keeps my pores clean; and does a great job removing dirt and impurities.

There is a new mask in town! L’Oreal has added a new mask to their Pure Clay Collection. This blue clay mask combines Kaolinite, Montmorillonite, Ghassoul, and seaweed to create a gentle mask aptly named the “Clear & Comfort Mask.”

This is a gentle mask which is great for soothing skin that might be irritated from the elements, makeup, or bad products. I love using it on a Sunday evening when my skin has had a lot of sun exposure and my SPF failed me a bit; yes, this means when I have a slight sunburn. haha

If you loved the first three Pure Clay masks by L’Oreal, you will love the new Seaweed mask! I hope L’Oreal comes out with a matching Pure Clay cleanser for the seaweed soon!

Tula skin care products c/o Tula: Tula Purifying Face Cleanser / Tula Exfoliating Treatment Mask / Tula Hydrating Day & Night Cream

Have you ever discovered something on Instagram and wanted to try it? Sometimes I do! Tula skin care popped up on my Instagram feed one day, and it sounded extremely intriguing! Since I am trying to grow old gracefully, my first line of defense against aging is to use the right skin care. So I am always on the hunt!

Tula skin care uses probiotic technology, which is something that instantly caught my attention. I had to try it out! Tula was kind enough to send me a few travel size samples to test out on my skin. I am so excited to share my experience with you!

The Tula Purifying Face Cleanser is gentle, yet leaves my skin squeaky clean. It really did a good job of cleaning out my pores. Since this is a travel size, it is going straight into my travel skin care bag. It will be perfect for keeping my skin clean when I travel. I always feel like air travel leaves my skin dry, dirty, and in need of special care.

This Tula Exfoliating Mask is a relaxing way to deep clean skin. I love the deep clean results of it! This too is travel size, so it will be a great way to keep my skin deep cleaned while I am on the road. I recommend using this mask once a week. I like to use a mask on Sunday evenings to brighten up my skin for the week.

Tula has a great skin care product! The Tula Hydrating Day & Night Cream is two creams in one. Instead of needing two separate jars of cream for morning and night, this cream offers the lightweight texture needed for daytime, with the hydrating power needed overnight. Love that!

This is the perfect skin cream to use daily; and this size is perfect for travel. I am obsessed with this skin cream!

I definitely need to upgrade to full size products of Tula skin care. You can find the entire collection online here, and they have a fabulous starter kit you can test out too.

Have you tried Tula skin care? What are your thoughts?

Elemis x Misha Nonoo travel kit review

travel kit c/o Elemis: Limited Edition Elemis x Misha Nonoo travel kit

Raise your hand if you have had beauty products confiscated by TSA? My hand is up! I lost over $100 worth of beauty products flying back from Dallas last spring because I had “too many products” in my carry-on bag. If only I had this fabulous travel kit by Elemis when I was flying, nothing would have been confiscated!

This compact travel kit is the brilliant result of a collaboration between Elemis and Misha Nonoo. It is a limited edition travel kit which contains all of the luxury skin care essentials needed for travel; without having to worry about not passing inspection by TSA. Love that!

The Elemis x Misha Nonoo Luxury Travel Essentials for her kit contains everything we need for maintaining our skin care routine while travelling. Inside the kit you will find Elemis’s Pro-Radiance Cream Cleanser (1 oz.), Balancing Lavender Toner (1.6 oz.), Papaya Enzyme Peel (0.5 oz.),  White Flowers Eye & Lip Makeup Remover (0.9 oz.), Pro-Collagen Marine Cream (1 oz.), Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream (1.6 oz.), and Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Oil (1.1 oz.).

All of these products are TSA approved; and the pretty makeup bag designed by Misha Nonoo has plenty of room for other items such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, comb; and anything else you might want to throw in there!

My next trip will be a long weekend in Lake Tahoe, so despite the fact that I won’t be on a plane, I will still pack this travel kit since it will save a lot of space in my suitcase; plus the products are amazing!

You can find the Elemis x Misha Nonoo Luxury Travel Essentials for her kit online here. Where is your next travel destination?
