Bioré Pajama Party: Bioré Skincare Review

This idea came to me today when I was talking to our little Cookie, Lilan, from the Daily Cookie. We were chatting back and fourth and she had mentioned she and her boyfriend had done a series of pictures using Bioré products last week. Honestly, guys, I begged and pleaded with our Cookie to please post these pictures and how much of a contribution this would be to the beauty blogging world! I tried! I really did! Let's hope my hard work pays off and we get to see Lil and the boyfriend doing their review of Bioré shortly!

For now I decided I needed my own pampering. It's been a long, hard day at work so I decided to treat my skin nice!

Pajama Party Provisions


As you may have noticed I'm on a budget beauty buying cycle lately and one item that I believe gives alot of bang for my buck is Bioré. It's one of the very select few brands from a drugstore that I trust and have found to actually work. Quite a few products in the line I love and I'm particularly in lust with what I can get from Japan in regards to Bioré. Seriously have you seen Japan Bioré products? Everything is all pink and sweet looking!

As I was saying I had a long day at work so facial time! Yay!

AWWWWWWWWWWWW the Muse is exhausted after her hard day at work! Her eyeshadow is smudged, her foundation is fading, her lipstick is long gone but her PJ's sure do match! The Muse is such a chic girl isn't she?



I'm a bit lazy and I'm really not in the mood for my full blown facial regime of removing my makeup but have no fear Bioré Daily Cleaning Cloths are here!

YAY!

Seriously, I think we all fall into a bit of a funk some nights and aren't too interested in spending alot of time removing our makeup! Especially when we just want to turn the lights off and go to bed! Daily Cleaning Clothes make that possible! Each cloth is pre-moistened with a cleaning solution that doesn't have to be washed off. Wipe it across your face a few times and it'll pretty much remove everything from your face. As you know I wear some bold shades of eyeshadow and this removes them without a problem! Although it doesn't do that good a job on waterproof mascara but seriously neither do MAC cleaning clothes so honestly that's not the fault of the cloth that's just the formula of your mascara!







Two clothes later and my face was happy, refreshed, and clean!


After I got all that gunk off my face I needed a seriously good scrubbing down. The winter weather is harsh and my skin is suffering from some serious dryness, flakes and all! Gross! Sooooooo I got me some Bioré Unclogging Scrub and scrubbed my way into nirvana. This is the first time I've used this particular scrub and I must say it's quite good. It does a fab job of removing flaky skin from my forehead and given time I imagine this will clear up the blackheads on my nose as well. If you're acne prone this contains salicylic acid to clear up any nasties you have keeping house on your face! It was a good scrub and did a great job smoothing out my face but I found it to be a bit drying. That could be because it's an acne treatment. If you're oily this may very well be a god sent for you as it's liable to dry up any oily bits on your face!



The formula contains little microbeads! See 'em? It also has a very fresh smell!


Now it was time for a bit of a facial! I adore Bioré self-heating mask! So good! This is seriously a fab mask! If you've never used this before you have to try it at least once! It's a one minute facial that you rub into your skin and as you rub it heats and fells so warm and cozy and lovely! It exfloliates the skin while detoxing it and removing any yuck that might be lurking in your pores plus it's good if your skin is oily! This feels wonderful in the Winter but I love using it in the Summer to combat oil on my forehead!

And since I love you guys so much I'm of course including photos of me wearing the mask...you'll probably find some use to blackmail me with them later.....

Scary Muse! BOO!


Of course after all this I had to go the extra yard and attack the blackheads hanging out on my nose! What better way to do that then with a Deep Cleaning Pore Strip? Pore Strips are God's gift to humanity. I've seriously never found a better product to remove blackheads. I scrub, and scrub, and scrub and I have seriously little success removing the blackheads from my nose that have taken up residence, built a condo, and have settled in with the kids. They stay there and never leave. Unless I go to a Spa and extract these chances are no product, expensive or inexpensive, will get these buggers to move up and out! However, I've had pretty good success it getting a nice cleanup using Bioré Deep Cleaning Nose Strips! Plus I like looking at the strip after it's been on my nose 8 minutes...is that morbid? Sorry too much info there! In all seriousness I really do have an excellent success rate with these. I'm not saying they get deeply embedded blackheads but they do a bloody good job of getting about 75% of mine and my nose looks alot less like a porcupine after use!

Yes, yes I know you want pics! More blackmail material coming right up!







Finally to finish off my little skincare party Bioré Pore Minimizing Lightweight Moisturizer. This is new for me. I normally don't stray from my current moisturizer but I was generally curious about this as it has an SPF 15. Honestly, as I get older I've been caring about having an SPF in my moisturizer and this is very light and silky and perfect for day wear. I'm not sure how much it reduced the appearance of my pores because I honestly have tiny pores anyway but in regards to the formula I'm pretty impressed. I travel alot and I love going on cruises and such and this would make an excellent daily moisturizer when out in the heat. It's silky, smooth, and very light weight plus it has SPF. When you're in a humid climate that's about everything you'd want in a moisturizer! Plus it's cheap as day old chips price wise! What's not to love? I'm too set in my ways to change it for my current moisturizer but as a backup when going on Holiday this will definately make an appearance in my traincase!





And finally here she is the Muse fresh faced, makeup less and simply Bioré clean! Wasn't that fun? I work my 30 years good don't I? Teehee!
