Review: Yes To Carrots Facial Mud Peeling Cleanser

This is my first time experiencing the Yes To Carrots line. I'm a big "mud" fan and wanted to give their Facial Mud Peeling Cleanser a spin.

"Formulated with Dead Sea Mud, carrot juice and natural apricot scrubbing particles, C is for Clean activates micro-circulation, removes dead skin cells and promotes the dispersion of fine lines."

Don't expect to find actual thick mud to slather your face in, this was more of a lotion-type cleanser with dead sea mud (that you can't see) and ultra-fine apricot particles--the feeling and texture is very similar to Cosmedicine's Medi-Morphosis. I'm not sure how this is a "peeling cleanser" as I had assumed it would be like Freeman's Cucumber & Ginseng Peel-Off Masque. I think the name of the product is a little confusing, however it is a really good cleanser. The fine apricot particles really polish your skin and when you rinse it off, you really feel squeaky clean.

I hear that the rest of the Yes To Carrots line of products are really good. Have you tried them?

Review: Coco Mademoiselle By Chanel

Warm, inviting, sexy, glamorous, classy...all of these things describe Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel.

Upon opening the bottle, the fragrance was very sharp and strong--almost overwhelmingly so. A few dabs on my wrists and several minutes later, the scent seemed to mellow.


Top Notes: Orange, Bergamot, Grapefruit

Middle Notes: Litchi, Rose, Italian Jasmine

Base Notes: Indonesian Patchouli, Haitian Vetiver, Bourbon Vanilla, White Musk

I'm honestly not a fan of patchouli, but somehow combined with the other fragrances it seems to work for me in this perfume. Throughout the day, each fragrance seemed to emerge and make itself known. Citrus one minute, floral the next, then warm and spicy. Coco Mademoiselle is meant to capture youth, which I can feel when I wear it.

You feel elegant, sophisticated--young.

Have you tried it? What did you think?

Their beauty segment is called, "You Look Marvelous" which covers hair, makeup, and skincare.
