Review: Diptyque Nourishing Cleansing Balm

When shopping at Diptyque a while ago I was given samples of their entire range of beauty products I think, but the first one I tried, and therefore the first one I will review was their Nourishing Cleansing Balm. And since I had tried some Omorovicza balm that I really liked a while ago, I expected to like the Diptyque version too. And I did!

In fact, this cleansing balm is pretty similar to that Omorovicza balm with the exception that it smells much, much nicer! It has a gorgeous scent of roses and I am sucker for anything with a lovely scent, which is what Diptyque as a brand does best so this product is really the perfect fit for me, especially since it literally takes everything you have on your face very easily.

If I were to have one complaint it would probably be that the balm is super thick, so it's not super easy to put on due to that, but other than that, I definitely love this cleansing balm! Will buy it again for sure whenever I am in a Diptyque store again!

Diptyque loot to be reviewed

On a recent trip to Germany I visited a Diptyque store in Berlin and of course had to get quite a few goodies. I was mainly interested in their home scents (I will be reviewing these here on the blog as well, I think) but I was given several small versions of their recently launched beauty products too. So look out: there will be quite a lot of Diptyque reviews coming up here soon!

Review: Kiehls Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque

As mentioned in my previous post, I really liked the Kiehl's daily cleanser I tried recently, but what about their pore cleansing masque?

I did buy their Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Masque at the same time that I purchased their cleanser, and I must say the two products are pretty similar, both when it comes to the packaging and otherwise, so all Kiehl's products definitely seem to have a similar look and feel. (I see that as a good thing!)

I would say the actual masque looks like cement in a way, but luckily it does not really feel like I imagine putting cement on your face would, haha! Instead, it is a very pleasant masque to have on. It is significantly less messy, lighter and easier to get off than some other similar products I have tried, but best of all: it does a really good job at actually cleaning my pores, which is what I wanted it to do!

The jar it comes in is also huge, yet you really don't need to use a lot each time you put it on, so I have only managed to make a small dent into it for now and I feel I will be able to use this one large jar I got for quite some time.

So while I am not ready to say that this is my favorite facial masque of all time, I will say it is pretty, pretty good! Will definitely be repurchasing!

Review: Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser

I had heard enough good things about Kiehl's to really, really want to try their products before actually buying my first serious Kiehl's products (I think I might have tried their hand cream before or something), a mask and a cleanser, simply because that is what I happened to need when I stumbled upon one of their stores while shopping for something else entirely.

The first product I tried out of these two was the Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser, which is actually a really nice product to use.
It cleanses well, yet does not dry out your skin and feels kind of a mask, but can be rinsed right off. So it is an interesting concept and having used up a whole tube of it by now, I have no complaints.

Definitely an interesting product that I would not mind buying again!
