Aurelia Probiotic Skincare Miracle Skin Cleanser
* is a quality makeup removing cleanser which has taken the place of my beloved
Emma Hardie Cleansing Balm
as I've been feeling a little bored with the same old routine day in and out and was looking to get a little experimental (I've also adopted using
Avene Cleanance Gel Cleanser
as a second step to mix things up -- watch out for this
crazy
girl!). The switch up has actually been working out really well, so I'm not running back to my old routine anytime soon.
I apply a good sized dollop of the
Miracle Cleanser
* to my dry face, enjoy the fresh and natural scent, and work it into my skin. It rubs in very smoothly, despite not being an oil based cleanser, and comes off easily with a quick wipe over with it's accompanied
washcloth
. I haven't tested it, but I suspect if I did a once over with a cotton pad of Bioderma there would be
very
little to no makeup left on my skin at all. I have about 3/4 of the tub left, but I suspect I will be purchasing this once it's used up.
I apply the
Revitalize & Glow Serum
* after a second cleanse, whatever mask and toner I may or may not be using at the moment, and some
La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo
(if it's nighttime). It sinks into my skin within seconds, feels light and airy (not tacky in the slightest), smells nice, and wears very well under makeup. Combine that with some
Kate Somerville Goat Milk Cream
and I'm left with soft, hydrated skin that honestly looks more glowy than it has in ages (thanks to also drinking LOTS (!!!) of water daily). I've been looking for a good anti-aging serum since forever; so, despite the fact it's a tad pricey, I've got plans to buy a replacement once this runs out next week.
I can't really think of any negative things to say; I really love both products and would 100% drop my hard earned money down to buy each of them... and probably some more products I'm curious about from the line... my bank account is super thrilled about that. Not.
*When I was contacted about my potential interest in sampling Aurelia skincare for review I was immediately sold upon reading the word
probiotic
. I'm a huge fan of probiotics -- I take them multiple times a day orally and credit them with helping quell my crazy chin acne situation. I was not paid to write this post. I accepted these products for review.

If you are light skinned, finding a perfect contour can be a challenge...
Too dark!
Too warm!
Too harsh!
Through extensive "research" -- what I prefer to call my sitting in sweatpants watching YouTube videos for 3 years straight -- I have finally narrowed it down to the only two contour products I
really need
...
Illmasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow
and
Kevyn Aucoin The Sculpting Powder in Medium
. One cream. One powder. Great cheekbones. [
HINT:
Apply these all over, instead of a blush, and prepare to be amazed. ]
These really are
THE
must-have contour products for every self respecting pale makeup lover/hoarder (Let's be real. We, the makeup crazies, all totally fall somewhere on the "hoarders" spectrum. I, for one, am still waiting for the episode where someone is buried in makeup. She's out there. Drowning in MAC lipstick. I can feel it.).

Heads Up:
L'Oreal EverCréme
is a cheaper alternative to my beloved (and pricey!)
Ojon Damage Reverse
.
$7 vs. $24. You do the math.
[ l'oreal evercréme intense nourishing
shampoo

This
L'Oreal EverCréme shampoo and conditioner duo
performs amazingly well for its price point. $6.99 each?! Yes gawd, girl. My bank account is finally happy with me.
Pros?
Sulfate-free, smells nice, and makes my hair feel crazy soft... rivaling the much pricier
Ojon
set I typically buy.
Cons?
They sometimes give my hair
too
much nourishment. It will feel a bit weighted down and even slightly greasy/sticky from leftover product after showering. Make sure you spend a little more time than usual washing out the conditioner and you'll be fine. Or maybe I'm a just fully grown baby who can't even shower properly. Also, most days it's hit or miss whether this will make my naturally wavy hair texture look nice (AKA non-frizzy -- the holy grail for wavy/curly hair).
Verdict.
Despite the great value and performance of this duo, the
Ojon Damage Reverse
line remains the all around favorite because I pretty much never have to worry about frizzing issues with those. Not everyone can pull off the Grace Coddington look on the daily (especially me, in the SF fog!).
