Review: Garnier Pure Active Multi-Action Scrub and Anti-Imperfections Cooling Roll-On

Hi readers!

   My FOTD or feature of the day are Garnier Pure Active Multi-Action Scrub and Garnier Pure Active Anti-Imperfections Cooling Roll-On. Remember my post when I received Garnier Pure Active products? (you can read it here) After I received these products, I tested it right away and after a few days of using it I was really amazed and impressed with the changes in my skin. Third week of April I got 1 pimple on my forehead and I was happy, yes sounds weird but I think that was the right time to test if these products really work. (I do have photo's but too bad I accidentally deleted it (oh no! clumsy me). Going back to my test, on the first day I washed my face with Garnier Multi-Action Scrub and I also used Anti-imperfection cooling roll-on. The second day I did the same but this time I noticed the pimple became dried, I notice my pimple start to fade - I'll call it as fading stage (^_^). Third day, my pimple was very very small, dry and if you look at it, you'll never notice I had one. Fourth day I was surprised because my pimple was gone and no mark. I was impressed how quickly these products work.

Carmex Lip Balms Reviews

Hi Readers!

   After reviewing Carmex Lip Balm Original flavour (jar container), I admit I was totally in love and hooked with this lip balm. Aside from helping to moisturise and relieve dry chopped lips, it is also very affordable and no wonder why there're so many users kept on buying and using Carmex. 

About Carmex:

   Suffering from dry, chapped lips, Alfred Woelbing invented Carmex lip balm in the USA in the early 1930's. The mixture was carefully hand poured into small glass jars which Alfred would sell to pharmacists from the boot of his car. Now available with sunscreen, Carmex comes in squeeze tubes and click sticks-as well as in Alfred's original little jar. The Woelbing family still runs the business today! Carmex products are tested on family member-not on animals. 

Classic Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in jar, Original Flavour Carmex Mositurising Lip Balm in Tube, Original Flavour  Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in Click Stick, Strawberry Flavour Carmex Lip Balm in Click Stick.

I already made my review on Classic Carmex Moisturising Lip Balm in jar container you can read it here.

• I like the minty feel (cooling effect)

Con(s) What I don't like:

• I don't know if it's just me but after applying this on my lips it became a little dry :( . It felt like I applied a matte lipstick (less the color though!)
• a little waxy (maybe because of the solid form unlike the Carmex in the jar or in the tube that like gel)
• I can't find the expiration date.

Uses: Lip Moisturiser, Sunscreen with SPF15 (protects from sunburn) and Brood Spectrum.

Its pH balanced formula helps restore skin’s natural pH level. With continued use, skin will be visibly fresher and younger looking.
