Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel Fragrance Free

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have been testing and reviewing different things over the past few weeks and this one is another one from Neutrogena. I am always on the lookout for new cleansers, and I actually worked in an acne prone skin friendly one that I was going to share with you soon until this one came into my skincare cleansing rotation. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel Fragrance Free has a lot of positive aspects to it. At a glance it is fragrance free and super affordable at $12.49 at Ulta Beauty whereas my acne prone skin friendly one is $32.00 while that one works well at just cleansing your skin (I would say it is the second cleanse of your routine). The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel Fragrance Free is amazing at removing make without needing a double cleanse and it is even good at just cleansing your skin in the AM. I have paid upwards of $50.00 for makeup cleansing balms and this one does the trick at just $12.49. I posted an Instagram post for all of you as well and did a little review here. I hope it helps you figure out your cleansing routine because it is never ever good to go to bed with your makeup on.

Ilia True Skin Primer, Foundation & Concealer

 Beauty Bag Dolls I have a triple review for you today! As promised a little while back I was on a search for the perfect new foundation. I did say I wanted a primer and concealer from the same brand since I have found that matching the brand works best for me for a while now. I searched for a while researching and trying to make the best choice for my skin type, I also wanted something on the clean beauty side, and I have found the Ilia True Skin Radiant Priming Serum, Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation and Ilia True Skin Serum Concealer. The price at Sephora and the Ilia website is for the Primer $54.00, the Foundation $52.00 and the Concealer is $30.00. 

These three amazing products from Ilia are a beauty bag must! Due note that the Foundation drops on February 8, 2022 at Sephora.com 

The Ilia True Radiant Priming Serum is great. It applies like a serum and dries in a minute. My skin feels soft and matte ready for makeup. This is a must have because it is a skincare primer which is rare in the makeup world. I struggle to find a good primer that doesn't break me out and this one is the winner! I did notice however an off smell to this one it can be a deal breaker on some days, I won't use it.

The Ilia True Skin Serum Concealer is amazing. It feels light on the skin yet gives you full coverage. I hide my dark circles easily, some blemishes as well. In fact, I felt when I removed my makeup after a few days of use it helped to heal my blemishes. It was a medium coverage and never ever felt heavy. I paired it with the Ilia primer and their foundation as well, so my combination skin never felt overly dry just a nice matte finish. That being said I will repurchase before I run out. I will try another shade because with concealers I like to have a few different shades on hand for when I am sunless tanning.

The Ilia True Skin Serum Foundation has great coverage. It feels light on the skin yet gives you full coverage. I hide my blemishes and even out my skin. In fact, it truly felt like nothing on my face, and I never had mid-day shine in my T-Zone. I paired it with the Ilia primer and their concealer as well, so my combination skin never felt overly dry just a nice matte finish. That being said I will repurchase before I run out. 

An additional note: I am a big fan of this brand since trying their mascara in fact it is my must have go to and I was thrilled to fall head over heals for this trio of products!

Neutrogena Skin Glowing Weekly Exfoliating Facial Treatment

 Today is February 1st and while my skincare game is going strong, I am awaiting the arrival of...my new foundation that I finally decided on. I am not sure why it is difficult for me to pick a foundation, but I am leaning toward the fact that I have acne prone skin and it freaks me out to break out when I use a new foundation and apply it in the AM and cannot take it off until PM and with skincare, I usually try it out at night and if an issue arises, I can immediately wash it off. Now that I have updated you on that I can get back to the review of the brand-new Neutrogena Skin Glowing Weekly Exfoliating Facial Treatment I have posted my review of this on my Instagram, and you can click any of the highlighted words to check out the review and a photo.
