Face of the Day: Summertime Green/Teal Smoky Eye

 

Normally I wouldn't post a picture of me giving my kids (and hubs) the side eye but hey lets work with what we have!  I was requested to do a summertime green smoky eye look on facebook and I thought I would try to do a simple yet summery look.  Unfortunately I was only able to take pictures after running around all day but I think the look held up quite nicely.

MAC Mineralize Volcanic Ash Exfoliator

Believe the Hype!  This stuff is amazing.  It's so good that I had a hard time writing this post.  Like seriously, how many times can I say awesome without my readers getting annoyed?

I rarely fall in love with skincare products because it's just not something that I'm excited about.  This product however, deserves some attention.  I am absolutely in love with how this exfoliator feels on my skin.  It leave my skin feeling soft, smooth and refreshed.  I don't get that tight skin feeling at all and it does not irritate my hyper active crazy skin.  I've only used this on my face thus far but I really want to get another tube so that I can try it on my legs and arms.  I would definitely recommend this product and it will be repurchased when I run out.

MAC describes this product as follows:
 
"A highly effective, dual-purpose foaming, cleansing and exfoliating scrub blending natural Volcanic Ash with fine sugar crystals. Refines and unclogs the skin, adds instant moisture: leaves skin feeling soft and comfortably clean. Mineral-rich. May be used effectively on any part of face or body. Rinses off with warm water."

It retails for $28 USD and is definitely worth it in my opinion.

What is your favorite exfoliator?  Have you tried this one?  Let me know!
