Beauty Loot: Drugstore Stuff I've Been Liking

Hey there! This is just a quick post (it seems a lot of my blog entries these days are "quick posts" heh) about new drugstore finds that I've been using and liking. I haven't been using these products a long time so I don't have much to say about them yet, but just consider this as a first impressions kind of thing. Here we go.

Beauty Barrage: Quick Reviews - L'Oreal Smooth-Intense Caring Shampoo and Conditioner + Clean & Clear Deep Action Cleanser

This week is shaping up to be a really busy one, so I'm getting some quick reviews out of the way. I'll be talking about the L'Oreal Smooth-Intense Caring Shampoo and Conditioner and the Clean & Clear Deep Action Cleanser in this post, which were products from my drugstore haul last August. I've had a few months to use them and see how they work on me. Here we go.

First up is the L'Oreal Smooth-Intense Caring Shampoo and Conditioner. I got this set specifically because I have frizzy hair that I always need to keep in check. Well, it does the job. It manages to make my hair smooth enough to look tame, but with enough body so it doesn't look flat. It has a mild scent too, and feels light on the hair.

This shampoo and conditioner duo isn't as awesome as my favorite shampoo ever -- Lush Rehab that I have yet to do a review of -- though, but it's good enough for every day use. I'll be putting it on rotation along with Clairol's None of your Frizzness.

My second quick review of the day is the Clean & Clear Deep Action Cleanser. All throughout college I used the brand's Foaming Facial Wash, but I decided to give this a go when I started wanting more out of my facial wash than just a clean face. I figured some deep clean action might do my face some good. 

This cleanser did clean my face. It has a pleasant soapy scent and feels smooth on my skin. However, I didn't see any difference between before I started using it and after. It just cleans my face, but it didn't stop me from getting breakouts or soften my skin. This means the quest for a proper facial cleanser continues.

That's it for my quick beauty reviews today! I'll be back with some in-depth reviews soon. 

Beauty Barrage: Getting to the Bottom of the Neutrogena Deep Clean Revitalizing Pink Grapefruit Ultra Foam Cleanser

Hello! Let's get to the bottom of this post, shall we? By "getting to the bottom" I meant literally getting to the bottom of a product! In makeup circles it's known as "hitting the pan", but the phrase doesn't really work for all products, so "getting to the bottom" it is.

Now, getting to the bottom of a product doesn't automatically mean it's so good I used it all up. Sometimes it means I just used it up because I didn't want to waste product, since products mean money after all. Such was the case with the Neutrogena Deep Clean Revitalizing Pink Grapefruit Ultra Foam Cleanser.
