Brightening Facial Scrub (118 ml, 4 fl. oz)
This scrub features Argan extract and Chlorella Growth Factor (which comes from the stems of the chlorella plant) to help brighten and hydrate the skin and French green clay to purify, lemon peel granules to exfoliate and scrub the skin and Madonna lily extract for evening out skin pigmentation. It is also is packed with anti oxidants like Acai fruit extract and Blackberry extract, just to name a few.

This scrub goes on pretty darn green (that's the Chlorella growth factor in it) and feels nicely gritty (not too much or too little) that I can get a good scrubbing on my face without irritating or overdoing it. It rinses nicely too without leaving your face green.

Whenever I have used this scrub I have followed it up with the Brightening Mask, but I have loved how smooth my skin feels after using it.

Sometimes when I use a scrub I feel irritated and red despite my attempts not to scrub too hard. I believe so many scrubs have just too harsh and jagged granuals in it, but this Brightening scrub is just amazing in how it scuffs off my dead skin while not irritating it at all, it actually feels nicely soothed when I am done using it.

Brightening Face Mask (50ml, 1.75 oz.) This mask partners up amazingly well with the Brightening Facial Scrub (they are in the same line), it features many of the same ingredients, Argan, Chlorealla, French green Clay, CoQ10, and many others.

Like the Scrub, this baby leaves your face green, but even more so, which is both fun and a great bench mark to see if you have used enough. I do find I need a lot of this to get a good cover on my face and the tube is about 60% smaller then the scrub (which you need very little of), so I would love to see a bigger tube of it down the line. That being said I adore how soft and smooth my skin is every single time I use it. It isn't red and inflamed, it isn't dry and tight, both things that can easily happen with my skin when I use anything with clay or mud in it. It is just soft and glowy.
Moroccan Argan Oil (30 ml, 1 fl. oz.) Argan Oil is one of those things that I people usually associate with hair care and not skin care. I personally have been using Argan oil for my skin for years, but find most that are out their very heavy. Acure Argan Oil is much lighter and as a result works amazingly well on my dry skin as well as my hair and body.

What I love about an oil like this is that you can use it as a serum, mix it in with other lotions or creams to make them more hydrating in colder months but you can also use it on your body, hands and hair. Since it is such a multi purpose product it makes for a great travel buddy too. I also really enjoy that this one comes in a pump and not an eyedropper bottle, it makes for a much cleaner application and less chance of contaminating the inside of the bottle (or spilling, I usually spill things).

My personal favourite way to use this is as a thin layer after my serum but before my lotions to my face, or adding a few drops to my favourite sleep mask to give it more of a boost when my skin is more dry. Although I do have many other ways I like to incorporate it into my daily routine.
Overall these three products have been very good to my sensitive and reactive skin. The scrub gently buffs away my dead skin, the mask hydrates while purifying my skin and the oil is a true multi-tasker that helps keep my skin hydrated pretty much head to toe.  I love the Acure brand, it isn't just an organic brand it is a plant bases, vegan, sulfate free, paraben free, and cruelty free brand, which is just fantastic for anyone looking for the best in natural skin care.

Hands down, this is my favourite product in the line. I love a good cleaning oil. For years I've struggled with my dry and dehydrated skin. In the past cleansers left my skin dry, tight and very uncomfortable. Since I switched to cleansing oils, I've found that my skin is left clean, hydrated and smooth. There is no tightness or dryness. No patting my skin dry thinking, 'my skin is parched, what have I done?".

While I generally love cleansing oils, not all are created equal, which is why I love this one, it is one of the best I have ever tried. It is a bit thicker than most (think Bobbi Brown or Origins for constancy) which lets you really get the dirt, makeup and oil off your face efficiently. It has a nice locking pump which helps you get the right amount out and not make a mess. Another thing that sets this product apart, there is no mineral oil in it! None, which seems to be a main ingredient in many brands (even high end ones).  Plus it just works really well and leaves no residue on your skin.
Skin Therapy Oil Face:
Their new face oil is also fantastic. It is a great idea for anyone with dry skin (that's me) or anyone looking to improve their completion.  If you read my hiatus post, you know I've been under crazy stress, well there is nothing better to make you break out that stress. I am now left with some new post-acne marks I am trying to fade. The Retinol and Vitamin C in this oil really help fade the marks faster.

It also contains some very soothing oils in it, which helps again with my dryness, but also as an anti-aging product.

With 10 oils in it (Sesame Oil, Coconut Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Macadamia Nut Oil, Apricot Oil, Argan Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Rosehip Oil, Camelina Oil and Sunflower Oil) it has a very light texture, so anyone who is afraid of oil causing breakouts shouldn't worry. It's so light because (again) it has no mineral oil in it (a breakout culprit too).

They recommend using a few pumps on damp hair and if your hair is really dry putting some in your hair every night. Personally I use it every night before bed. This is my just 'shy of being a serum' oil, so I often mix it with a pump of serum if I am putting it on wet hair. Usually sold for  $10.99.

If you love a good thin hair oil, this is for you. I mean thin, because the constancy of it and the Colour Radiance oils are definitely lighter then the traditional oils, but I love that, and I bet you will too. They don't grease up your hair, they leave it light and the oils get absorbed quickly, which is nice too.  Retails for $9.99.

This oil I reviewed a while back, and 8 months after I started using it, I am just about done my first bottle. There is so much in here I just end up using it all the time. I love loading my hair up with it before washing (like a mask). As well when my hair feels really damaged it is great to just apply several times in the day. As I said in my previous review, I threw out my Moroccan oil because I loved this so much more. Retails for $9.99.

Here is one oil I hated!!!

Exotic Nectar Oil Treatment is a light-weight treatment that restores natural shine and lustre making hair silky and shiny without feeling greasy. - live-clean.com

ICK! That is all I have to say about this product. When I first started to use hair oils I thought I would try this one out, it was pretty cheap and I knew where to buy it. It was like a watery gel, nothing oily about it. It just made my hair feel sticky and icky. ...eww. Just thinking of it makes me mad. I did not like this one at all.

The first product I noticed in store and actually snatched up for myself was the new Shimmer Cube. In pink and purple shades this shimmer cube (#24 btw) is just stunning. Knowing it was limited edition just made me buy it right away. Not because it was LE, but because I loved the shades and would be upset if I missed out on them.  Shimmer Cubes are massive at 3.5g per colour  (thats 14g of product here people) and at $22 I actually think it is a great deal. I will never make it through one of these, that is a fact. The shades are Think Pink, Live Lilac, Go Violet and Tint it Pink. Look for swatches below!!!!
