I think it’s fair to say that most people want to use quality products for themselves and around their home, and ideally at affordable prices. I certainly do.
My family and I live on a budget. It’s not like we don’t have money, but we enjoy seeing our savings account grow, so we try and save money here and there whenever possible. We’re not frugal, but if we can find quality products, even if they are not brand name, where we can save some money, we’ll opt for them.
My husband calls generic products “hookie-flu.” Don’t ask me why. Ha Ha.
Just because something is not a brand name, doesn’t mean that it’s not as good as brand name products. Most of the time you are paying for the brand name, not so much the product. That is why I cannot understand why people would spend a small fortune on a purse just because it says Prada or Gucci, when there are plenty of NICER purses that are made by lesser known brands.
The same can be true for products in the grocery store. We tend to buy the store brand products over brand name and have often found that the store brand are just as good, if not better.
There is a site called Brandless that brings consumers quality products for around your home, personal care, wellness and beauty, but at more affordable prices. They even have bundles where you can save even more money on products you use and need.
Brandless was kind enough to send me a few products that they offer on their site to see just how good they are compared to similar products.
I received the following products.
Brandless Beauty Grapefruit Facial Scrub ($7)
Exfoliate skin with smoothing, softening polish (no micro-beads). Free of sulfates, phthalates & dyes. Follow with our toner & facial moisturizer & get glowing!
Cruelty free, gluten free, recyclable and clean beauty too.
I use a facial scrub pretty much every day. I am not a fan of leaving my makeup on longer than I need to. I enjoy the feeling of a fresh face. I feel like facial scrubs really help to deep clean my face and remove not only makeup, but any dirt and debris that got on my face during the course of the day.
When the weather is hot and humid, and my face gets sweaty, I find it even more important to use a facial scrub.
I have used many facial scrubs over the years, and I am a bit picky about the texture. I don’t like anything that feels too harsh on the skin, even if it’s removing makeup and dirt from your face. I need a more gentle facial scrub. My skin can also be sensitive at times, which is another reason why I need something gentle.
I really like this scrub. It’s not only gentle on my skin, but it also rinses off well leaving nothing behind but fresh, clean skin.
The oh-so-subtle grapefruit scent is also nice.
The price is comparable to similar products you’d find in the drug store, even less compared to other brands.
Hydrating Rosewater Facial Toner ($5)
Glow on the go! Facial toner spray made with rosewater to moisturize and aloe vera to soothe skin. Instantly, refresh all throughout the day.
Cruelty free, gluten free, vegan, hydrating and clean beauty as well.
I NEED this product in my life. I honestly cannot attest to whether or not it’s moisturizing, but it does feel wonderful I use it. In fact, I spritz it on my face a few times a day. I feel like it refreshes my skin and for me, it even perks me up a bit.
On a hot and humid day, spritzing this lovely toner on my face feels wonderful.
It has a very subtle scent too. It’s a pretty scent. I really like it.
For only $5, you can’t beat a quality product like this. It also lasts a long time. All you need is a spritz or two at a time to cover your face. I use this a few times per day and I still have a lot left. You’d definitely get your money’s work this this toner.

Brilliant Beauty Activator ($129 – BUNDLE PRICE – Comes with the above mentioned products, and more).
The products I mentioned above (facial scrub and toner) also come with this Beauty Activator as bundle. The price quoted is the BUNDLED price.
The Brilliant Beauty Activator;
- Deeply Cleanses – Purifies the skin with dual motion technology for double the cleaning power of other single-motion devices on the market. Removes makeup, dirt, and debris.
- Gently Exfoliates – Revitalizes the skin by sweeping away dead cells and decongesting pores.
- Promotes lifting and toning – Stimulates and massages the skin to tone and sculpt for a natural glow.
- Adapts to you – Intelligently designed with 100 settings to personalize your skincare and enhance your daily routine.
I’ll admit, initially I was a bit leery of using this on my face. I was concerned that the soft bristles would feel rough on my skin, and uncomfortable. They are soft (medical-grade silicone), but I worried none the less.
WOW! Simply WOW! Where has this product been all my life. This beauty tool is AMAZING!
It’s soft and gentle on your skin. It doesn’t feel rough at all, in fact it feels really good on my skin.
I love that it has so many different settings so that you can find the one that is perfect for you and your skin.
This leaves my skin feeling like I stepped out of the shower with a clean face. I think my face feels even cleaner since I started to use this.
When it’s hot and humid out, and your makeup is “melting” and you are sweaty, this product removes everything. You can tell that it deeply cleans your pours. I have no scientific evidence it does, but it sure does feel that way.
Here are some more highlights about this awesome product.
- Patented Dual Motion Technology: Unique sonic oscillation and rotation movements perform separately to create 100 customizable settings that exfoliate, promote circulation, and gently massage to clarify, tone and sculpt your skin.
- Innovative Silicone Channel Design: Made from ultra-hygienic, nonporous, medical-grade silicone. Each silicone channel evenly distributes cleanser across skin to sweep away debris and purify skin more effectively than nylon bristle
- 3 Year Promise: Love it or send it back. Our 3 year guarantee gives you plenty of time to decide if the Beauty Activator is for you.
It’s also hygienic, waterproof and shower safe.
This product can be charged, so you don’t have to worry about batteries. It comes with a “cradle” for the unit to rest on and charge when not in use.
It’s easy to clean too.
I absolutely LOVE the Brilliant Beauty Activator.
