  Wave Hello! 2/25/2008 12:32:00 PM


To the new Neutrogena product called the Wave. I saw the commercials with Vanessa Hudgens and saw some reviews online. It looked pretty interesting, so I went out and got one from Target for about $11. It's a little vibrating device (no, not like the one under your bed... hehe) that you turn on to deep cleanse your face. Here's what Neutrogena claims their little Wave can do:
  • the gentle vibrations help open pores so the foam can penetrate deeper to remove more dirt, oil, and make up
  • cleans 10X deeper than traditional face washing
  • comes with textured pads to remove layers of dead skin cells - leaving 100% of girls with softer, smoother skin after just ONE use.
  • so gentle, you can use it every day
  • if you use it every day, your skin will start to produce less oil
The pros: The steps to using this little thing is quite easy. It comes with 14 pads that you attach to the head of the device. Put under running water to activate the soap. Then, turn it on and massage over face!
I liked the Wave, because it feels really good when it vibrates your face. It really does feel like there's more circulation and deep cleans. My skin did get softer after the first use.

The cons: I didn't know how to remove my eye makeup! It says to avoid eye areas, but ummm how am I supposed to remove my eye makeup?? I tried to remove my eye makeup with this thing, and it made my eye sting so bad!! (don't try this at home)
You have to buy refills for the pads. But if you think of it this way, it's like buying new face wash every 30 days (refills are pack of 30).

How I really feel: I would compare this to a vibrating toothbrush. You don't really need it, and it doesn't help TOO much, but it's nice to have! It feels good using it :)

I think these types of products are fascinating. Have you tried out Dove's SkinVitalizer? I think it's similar to the Wave. I haven't tried it myself, but I'm always tempted to. You can find a $3.50 coupon on their website: http://www.dove.us/your_face/default.asp

  I'm a Believer 2/23/2008 04:42:00 PM

The bad news is that it's 20 bucks for an 8oz bottle. The good news is it works. This stuff is good! I'm glad I gave Purity Made Simple a chance. Philosophy's facial cleanser and makeup remover in one makes washing my face a really enjoyable experience. And no, nobody paid me to say that.
I almost bought the stuff sometime ago because it got such great reviews on drugstore.com. By the way, drugstore.com and beauty.com are great places to order beauty products online. You can rate and review products as well as read other people's reviews. But I guess online reviews should be taken with a grain of salt. The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that most reviews may be fake and written by marketers.
Anyway, I didn't go through with ordering it and finally caved at Sephora the other day. I'm pretty impressed. My skin felt so clean, refreshed and soft. I massaged it in all over my face as well as over my eyelids and it removed ALL my makeup. LOVE IT! It's expensive, but if it actually improves my skin, then it's worth it! I'm so sucked in, I recently ordered Philosophy Save Me, a nighttime skin treatment. I won't even tell you how much that was yet. I also want to try their Makeup Optional Skincare Kit. If you've tried any of these products, please share your thoughts. I'll be testing Save Me out and writing about it soon.


Product: Philosophy's Purity Made Simple

What it is: Facial cleanser & makeup remover in one step

I loved: It really removed all makeup. It makes my face feel so soft and clean that I look forward to using it.

Not too crazy about: The PRICE! I'll let you know how long this $20 8 ounce bottle lasts me.
