MARIO BADESCU FOLLOW-UP

If you've read my blog for a while, you already know I'm totally obsessed with Mario Badescu skincare.  (Here is my last post if you missed it.)  I've been using MB samples and reading up on their product guide trying to figure out which regimen would be best for me.  I have combination skin, and it's super sensitive, so I have to be really careful which products I use.

I finally decided to go with ...



Acne Facial Cleanser - This cleanser is amazing!  It contains acne-fighting salicylic acid and also aloe vera and chamomile.  It's so gentle and leaves my skin so soft and completely makeup-free!  It's priced at $15 and worth every single penny! (Read more and buy it here.)

Chamomile Cleansing Lotion - If you use a toner you know how harsh and drying they can be.  I've never used a gentle toner that soothes my skin until this one. It's alcohol-free and I will never, ever use another!  It's also priced at $15. (Read more and buy it here.)

Buttermilk Moisturizer - Completely irrelevant, but I must say this is the prettiest moisturizer I've ever seen! LOL  I wasn't expecting a sky blue color, but that's exactly what it is.  Anywho, it's especially made for combination skin and contains carnation oil and allantoin.  It leaves my skin sooooo soft and moisturized.  I wear it both at night and during the day under my makeup.  It's priced at $18.  (Read more and buy it here.)

I also got their Lip Wax - It has hydrating vitamin E, soothing beeswax and fragrant rose extract.  I've only used it a few times so far but I could tell a difference in my normally dry lips.  It's only $5. (Read more and buy it here.)



Also, they were running a promotion on their website, spend $50 and receive a free gift!  So I also got this cute little black bag with travel-size products (body lotion, body soap, hand cream) and a compact mirror.



Each time you make a purchase, you get to pick three more samples, which is so much fun!  I really love trying out different products! Here are the ones I chose this time around...

Strawberry Face Scrub - This scrub is made for any type of skin and contains real strawberry seeds that gently buff away flaky skin.  It also unclogs pores and prevents blackheads. Bonus - it smells just like a strawberry milkshake!  The full-size is priced at $15 and will probably eventually make its way to my shopping cart!  (Read more and buy it here.)



Drying Mask - This is a colloidal sulfur based mask that dries pimples and oil and helps clarify acne prone skin. Soothing calamine makes it safe and gentle for most skin types.  I haven't tried this one out yet, but will update as soon as I do.  The full-size is priced at $18. (Read more and buy it here.)



Caviar Night Cream - Okay, I can't say enough good things about this cream.  It's HEAVEN for your skin!  It's a blend of protein-rich caviar extract and cocoa butter that replenishes moisture and is collagen enriched to help preserve skin’s firmness and elasticity. This will definitely be my next purchase!  After using it for just one night, my skin looked and felt incredible the next day!  They also carry a Caviar Day Cream...both are priced at $20 for the full size.
