REVIEW: FORMULA 10.06 Daily Foaming Cleanser and Mattifying Oil Free Moisturizer

My first review...so bear with me please.

Best Face Forward, Daily Face Foaming Cleanser
Passion-fruit + Green Tea


PRODUCT CLAIMS:
  • wash away oil and impurities for a sparkling, clear complexion
  • your skin will look clean, clear and healthy everyday
LIKES AND DISLIKES:
  • LIKES
  • fruity scent
  • removes makeup
  • can be used twice a day and won't dry out my skin
  • DISLIKES
  •  doesn't contain salicylic acid =(
HOW I USE IT:

When i first got it I used it in the morning, but the fact it didn't have salicylic acid broke me out.
For me, when I wash my face in the morning the cleaner has to have salicylic acid or else I will break out.
so, i tried using it one night because it says it removes oil; and voila! all my make up was gone and my face felt so refreshed. I use it twice at night. Once to remove all my make up and second to thoroughly cleanse my face. Using it twice at night doesn't dry out my skin. Following the cleanser I use the Seriously Shine Free Mattifying Oil Free Moisturizer.

Seriously Shine Free Mattifying Oil Free Moisturizer
Aloe Vera + Bamboo
PRODUCT CLAIMS:
  • keeps skin smooth and shine free all day
  • soften skin
  • absorbs excess oil to maintain a balanced complexion
  • oil free formula ensures clog free pores
LIKES AND DISLIKES:
  • LIKES
  • thin consistency
  • doesn't leave face looking oily 
  • DISLIKES:
  • has a weird scent to it

 Overall, these 2 products are awesome together!



I have dry, acne prone skin and these products don't over dry my skin or break me out!
I know its weird, i dont know if its just me, but my morning cleanser has to have salicylic acid or else i will break out, thats why i don't use this in the morning. However, these products are really great to use before you sleep to remove all your makeup, dirt and oil. sorry i can't voice my opinion for oil, combo skin. feel free to voice your opinion on these products to share with others!

Thank You For Stopping By Makeup Avenue!

Welcome! This blog is for me to be able to share with you the new things I discover about makeup; from products to tips and tricks. I'm not a professional, I'm just starting out. I know there's a bunch of other women out there from 13 to 60 out there just starting out and experimenting, just like what I've been doing (well, besides watching youtube...teehee) and I feel what I learn and discover just might help the next beginner. From a beginner to another! =) So, I really hope you ladies find this blog helpful. LETS LEARN TOGETHER!
