The Body Shop's Wonderblur Product Review

Hey everyone! I placed a rather large order from The Body Shop a few weeks ago when they were having their Cyber Monday Sale and almost everything on their web site was 50% off. I recently posted my Collective Haul Video where I showed this beauty product. 



Drops of Youth Line & Price Point
Wonderblur is a face primer from their Drops of Youth line. I have tried the Bouncy Sleeping Mask, their Youth Cream and the Youth Concentrate Serum in the past. I did enjoy using all three of the products but I specifically bought the Wonderblur for $12.50 CAD on sale because it was half price. 

Product Claims
- A lightweight formula
- Instantly smoothes skin texture
- Visibly reducing fine lines and pores
- Leaving an even, flawless finish
- 12-hour hydration



Size & How To Use
You are getting 30 ml or 1.0 fl oz of product inside a squeezable tube and that was the only size that I could find on their web site. You want to apply the Wonderblur face primer after your moisturizer and before you apply your makeup to either your target areas or all over your face. You want to use a little bit and not too much because if you use too much, your makeup won't glide on as smoothly. 



Texture & Consistency
It is definitely more thick than other face primers that I have used in the past. You may have to take some time and not rush to apply this primer to your face. Just because it may look thick coming out of the tube, keep in mind that it is not heavy after all, this is marketed as a lightweight primer.



Wonderblur vs. Benefit's Porefessional
You are getting 0.75 fl oz or 21 g of product from the Porefessional and it retails for $39 CAD.  You are actually getting more from the Wonderblur as it contains 1.0 fl oz and I purchased mine for $12.50 CAD. Benefit's face primer glides right on my face and the formula is oil-free, silky as well as lightweight. It contains vitamin E which helps protect the skin from free radicals. The Wonderblur face primer is formulated with Edelweiss stem cells and is enriched with Community Trade Babassu Oil. It is a more thick formula and is a totally different consistency than Benefit's Porefessional. 

Overall Thoughts
I have very oily skin in general and no product will help get rid of my oils, but this did help me not get as greasy as quickly as I normally do. It blends into the skin effortlessly and my my skin feel very soft when it was completely rubbed in. As previously mentioned, the Wonderblur was a fraction of the cost of my Porefessional from Benefit. This is a greater cheaper alternative but I still do love the Porefessional! 

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

10 Uses & 10 Benefits from Using Tea Tree Oil

Hey everyone! I have been wanting to try out Tea Tree Oil in its natural form for a long time now. The Body Shop was having a Cyber Monday Sale and almost everything on the web site was 50% off. I definitely took advantage of the sale and picked up a 20 ml bottle for myself. They also have an entire Tea Tree line that you can check out on their web site. I have been doing some research and wanted to share with you the various uses as well as benefits of this miraculous product!


I recently filmed a Haul Video where I showed this product. I actually used one of their face washes a long time ago, from the Tea Tree line and I believe that it was an exfoliating one. Of course the packaging was different then, but I have not used any products containing Tea Tree since. The bottle that I picked up contains 15% Tea Tree Oil and it is a Best Seller on the Body Shop's web site. 


Uses:
- Facial Steaming 
- Directly onto skin to target acne or blemishes
- Onto scalp to help target dandruff, a flaky scalp or lice
- Can be used to make a DIY deodorant
- Claims to help those who have Eczema or Psoriasis (I have Psoriasis and will keep you posted on how this works out for me as it also helps with inflammation.)
- Can help soothe a sunburn
- Helps with toenail fungus and Athlete's Foot
- Assists in treating Ringworm
- It can kill mold
- Can be used as a household cleaner
- You can add a few drops in when you are doing laundry
Bonus: I have actually been adding a few drops in with my Johnson's Baby Shampoo when I wash my makeup brushes and it works great!

Benefits:
- Does not dry out your skin
- It is a multi-purpose product as there are many uses as well as benefits
- You can use Tea Tree Oil to help treat your acne naturally
- Is a topical antiseptic
- Can be used as an anti-fungal treatment
- Helps reduce infection
- It offers antibiotic properties
- Known for its healing abilities 
- It is a popular essential oil
- Anti-viral benefits


I really like the dispenser because it is much easier this way to be able to control how much product comes out of the bottle rather than dumping out more than you intended on, and thus wasting product.  Of course, there are many more benefits and uses that I have not included above because there are a lot! I highly recommend and urge you to do your own research to form your own opinions about Tea Tree Oil.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

No Buy December (Beauty Products)

Hey everyone! I hope that everyone scored some good deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday! I managed to do a little bit of online shopping. I will be writing a blog post when my parcels finally arrive in the mail.

As far as the month of December, I have decided that I have a lot of  beauty products that I need to go through. With that being said, I haven't been able to use some of them and that my collection is growing out of control! I also have a lot of hair samples (shampoo and conditioner mainly,) that I need to start going through.

I know that it won't be easy to NOT buy anything this month and therefore, I am challenging myself. The only exception is if I completely finish a product in its entirety and I do not have ANY products to replace it; then I will obviously go to the store and purchase what I am out of.

This does not mean that if I run out of my holy grail Revlon ColorStay Whipped Foundation, I will go to the store and purchase another one. What I am trying to do is shrink my beauty collection. If I do run out of that particular foundation, then I will use another foundation in my collection that I already own from another brand name.

Please wish me luck this month and I challenge you to do the same!

P.S. Don't worry, I did NOT purchase any beauty items on Cyber Monday, just clothes.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
