Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Wash and Mask!

Big Skincare Mystery!

I've been meaning to write about this for months! I was luckily invited to the Big Skincare Mystery event back in February where it was revealed that Clearasil was the brand behind the mystery! See post here: http://susmipatel.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/bags-of-beauty-blog-brand-behind-big.html 

I was given a lovely goody bag when leaving the event, which was packed full of products from the range, which I have been using over the past few months! I can honestly say that the range has completely transformed my skin! The winner of my Clearasil giveaway also e-mailed me letting me know that she loved the range too! I love the whole range, but my fave product is the Vitamins & Extracts Face Wash and Mask.

Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Face Wash and Mask

This was the actual product which played the main part of the Big Skincare Mystery back in January/February this year, and I was thrilled to see a full-sized sample of it in my goody-bag as I really like the mini deluxe sample (which I posted about back in February).

I have been using the Clearasil face wash and mask twice a day for months now and it has completely transformed my skin by hydrating it and overall making it a lot more smooth and supple. After using the face wash, I can see a visible difference in the appearance of my skin, plus my skin actually feels great as my face is naturally quite oily- the face wash balances the oiliness out, but not so much as to leave my skin feeling tight. 

I feel that the product works better as a face wash than as a mask- however, this is just personal choice as it works better for my skin; my friend prefers to use it as a mask so I guess it depends on what your skin type or personal preference is. I do use it once a month as a mask though as I love chilling out by reading Cosmopolitan and listening to music whilst my skin is being luxuriously treated with good skin-care ingredients! I sometimes wash my hands with this as it makes my hands so smooth and prepped for a hand-lotion to be applied! But you'd obviously have to use an anti-bacterial hand-wash first!

The texture of the face wash is so creamy that a little goes a long way because it's easy to spread and apply all over the face, so the product lasts a surprisingly long time- since starting to use my tube of it in February, it still hasn't finished! I would recommend this face wash to all of you!

Have you tried this face wash and mask? What do you think? XX

Bags of Beauty Blog: The Big Skincare Mystery Reveal- It really is a shocker!

The Big Skincare Mystery Reveal

You've probably already heard of the Big Skincare Mystery that has gone viral in the beauty world! If you haven't heard of it; it's a great marketing campaign of a skincare brand that remains a mystery until March 1st. Basically, you can log onto their Facebook page and request a free sample of the face-wash (which is lovely!), but you don't know the skincare brand behind it until it's revealed to the public!

Yesterday, I was invited to the Big Skincare Mystery Reveal at 24 London on Kingly Street, where beauty bloggers and journalists got to find out the brand behind the Big Skincare Mystery! We sipped on cocktails and mini-treats and then there was a presentation and video revealing the brand! It was a very shocking reveal; It was the brand I never would have thought of! And there is a lovely new skincare range which the face-wash is a part of.

I can't tell you the brand until March 1st, I'm afraid. But I will reveal all on March 1st on my blog, and I have some amazing pictures of the range to show you!

I will be doing a fab giveaway of the WHOLE new range on March 1st when it is revealed so keep your eyes peeled!

Today I was sent a very exciting, unexpected parcel from a PR company, containing a pretty deluxe sample of a skincare product that is a mystery! No labels! Basically, the product is unbranded until its release! And if you've been using the sample, you'll find out what the brand/revolution is when it's revealed on the 1st March 2012- how exciting!

Here's a little description I was given of the product:
                  "This versatile product contains a delicate balance of effective cleansing and skin-kind ingredients to help skin looking clear and smooth without the risk of over drying. It can be used as a gentle daily cleansing facial wash or, a 3 minute purifying cleansing mask when your skin needs a nourishing treat."

I cannot stress how much of an amazing marketing campaign this is- it really makes you properly use the product without the influence of branding. I want to work in beauty PR when I graduate next year but I probably wouldn't have thought of something like this- whoever did is a genius!

The product is a face-wash of a super smooth, creamy consistency that smells incredibly fresh and energetic. I've only used the product once but it really makes your skin look and feel a lot more radiant and fresh. I'll be doing a post after a couple of weeks of using this.

You can request your free sample of the product on the Skincare Revolution on Facebook by clicking this link (you must be signed into Facebook for this link to activate!): http://www.facebook.com/skincarerevolution
