L'aturajeu Cactus Daily Facial Cream


L'aturajeu Cactus Daily Facial Cream is the latest part of the growing cactus extract trend in beauty products I’ve had the pleasure to try out. This great ingredient is a perfect fit for a facial cream, since cacti naturally have to retain huge amounts of water to survive, which means excellent moisturizing properties.


Not only does this cream help pack in moisture during your daily routine, it’s able to hang onto it throughout the entire day thanks to the included hyaluronic acid and shea butter. Furthermore, cactus extract contains roughly eight times as much Vitamin C as Aloe Vera, an antioxidant that adds tremendous anti-aging benefits.


Giving this a try for the first time, I immediately noticed that it settles nicely onto the skin without any greasy feeling, which is perfect for applying makeup afterwards. There’s also a nice, soft floral scent I caught during application that is just right for anyone sensitive to perfume-y aromas.


I can also attest to the claim that it works with any skin type, dry or oily, since I have oily combination skin and it still worked out wonderfully to provide my face some much-needed nourishment. As for the longevity, my skin still felt soft and supple even after a long, hectic day of teaching preschool!


The cream is also extremely gentle and safe for use since it’s free of any steroids, parabens, or phthalates. It comes in a really simple, yet sleek tube, which leads to my only minor complaint. In the right light, I could see that the packaging was only about half full of cream, which seems a bit wasteful.


All that said, L'aturajeu has definitely found a winning combination of ingredients for this facial cream, and I’d highly recommend it to anybody looking for an effective daily moisturizer. It’s available now at Amazon for less than $6, down from $20, so it’s the perfect opportunity to give it a shot!

L'Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Water Mousse


I have ghostly white skin, which in fact I cherish, so I avoid ever going out in the sun without my skin drenched in sunscreen. When it comes to tanning, I have never used a tanning bed nor have the desire to fry my skin in the sun. That said, I have occasionally dipped my toe into using self-tanning products and so I was intrigued to try out L'Oréal's new Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Water Mousse.


I may be a novice when it comes to self-tanning products, but I think my biggest fears were staining anything I touched (clothes, beds, couches, etc.) and streaking. It’s interesting that this is a water mousse and in fact looks just like a foamy soap dispenser. The formula itself comes out in a transparent foam similar to soap as well.


It really only takes a couple of pumps to cover large areas and for this review I went all in. I did my entire legs, arms and décolletage area. I even made sure, as directed, to fully exfoliate my skin prior to applying this because I didn’t want any buildup. It’s directed that you wait 4-8 hours after applying before hopping into the shower, that way it has time to set on your skin and not wash away. It does take the full four hours for the color to start changing and it’s very subtle at first.


I didn’t feel any stickiness and only waited 3-5 minutes for it to settle on my skin before I dressed. I absolutely love that I experienced no transfer of the product onto my clothes nor my bed. The soft coconut scent is lovely, but it does stick around for quite a while. I love that it contains vitamin e and coconut that leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated.


After the color started to appear, I did notice darker spots where it gathered by my wrists and ankles and a few areas where it streaked on the undersides of my wrists and arms. However, the streaking was very minimal and could be due to user error.


I think next time that I commit to using this, it would be with an application mitt and lotion in the darker areas to get more even coverage. The final color was a nice tan shade with a soft glow and not at all too orange. Furthermore, the reason I wouldn't repurchase is simply because L'Oréal is not a cruelty-free brand.
