Happy Monday everyone!!! I slept quite well over the weekend, in short, I slept a lot over the weekend! It has been very hectic since the start of this year but I'm not complaining! I am quite thankful that there are so many things to keep me busy to keep me from going to emotional mode!
I want to thank my 1000 followers! I've reached the 1,000th mark over the weekend it warms my heart to know you guys include me in your daily reads and thanks for the trust! I promise to do more reviews and put you readers "in-the-know" as much as I can! Can I ask for group hugs? *group hugs*
I know I don't have a lot of male readers, but I'm sure my female readers have special men in their lives - the husbands, the boyfriends, the dads, the brothers, the cousins, the boy friends! My husband, who's been a soap user for years, is finally willing to give some male products a try! Yay for Male Vanity!!! He has used a couple of skincare line for men and I'll be interviewing him for reviews for the men in our lives!

Pros- smells great
- no allergies or skin irritation
- helps mattify the skin, lesser oil
- non-sticky on face
- non-greasy
- absorbs on skin easily
- for super oily skin like Mr. AMW: oiliness still occur after several hours
This is a nice addition to the oil control facial cleanser. Has a tiny tingling sensation after usage but it doesn't bother him and the sensation was gone a couple of seconds after. This product instantly mattifies the skin and creates a clean and bright face.
Tips
from L'Oreal
- use all over the face in the morning and/or evening on cleansed skin
- can be applied after shaving, can soothe razor burn
from Mr. AMW
- apply all over face then additional spot treatment on areas that are very oily like t-zone and forehead
Too early to tell if he really needed this, will wait a couple more weeks
