I just published a post about some wonderful products to help you look and feel your best for Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, special occasions or year round. You can read that post here – Wonderful Products for Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day and Year Round Beauty – PART ONE. There you can learn about products from Luseta, TOCCA and Iconic London.

Since I had so much to say about all these products, I divided it up into two posts so your eyes won’t pop out of your head from reading too much. Ha Ha.

In this post I’ll tell you more about the brands Cleanlogic, EXO and Grace & Stella.

Exoceuticals

When it comes to a romantic day like Valentine’s Day, you want your lips to be kissable, soft and smooth. Sadly, winter months often causes our lips to get chapped, dry and even crack. Ewww! Who wants to kiss lips like that?

The brand Exoceuticals has a product called EXO LIPS Hydra Healing Lip Balm. This is unlike those waxy-like lip balms most people use. This lip balm heals dry, cracked lip making them soft and beautiful.

EXO LIPS™ Hydra Healing Lip Balm leverages the use of Exoceuticals® patented eXo³ exosomes combined with rich, natural ingredients including squalane to bring an immediate feeling of deep hydration and support for your lips. This fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula combines skin-identical proteins, peptides, and nourishing plant oils to lock in moisture, giving lips a soft, smooth, and supple feeling.

The lip balm comes with a special applicator. One side of the applicator is smooth and the other side has little “bumps” on it which acts like an exfoliator (or at least that is what I suspect it’s for). You can also use your finger if you want. The applicator just makes it less messy.

This lip balm is very thick. I was worried it would either take forever to absorb, or just leave my lips feeling greasy and/or heavy. That was not the case at all. It did absorb fairly quick, and it didn’t leave any weird, heavy, greasy feeling on my lips.

I have been using this for the past few days and I’m already impressed by the results. This is one of those “where have you been all my life” kind of products.

A little bit goes a long way, so one jar should last a very long time.

Grace & Stella

I have reviewed products from Grace & Stella in the past. So far I have never had any issues with any of the products. I have enjoyed them all. Not only are they great products, but they are also sold at many retailers (Amazon, Ulta, Walmart…) as well as on the brand’s website. The products are also very budget friendly, which is an added bonus.

One of my favorite things about the brand is there gift sets. They make for great year-round gifts (birthdays, anniversary, graduation, Christmas…). They are also a great way to try out many of the brand’s products at one time.

I was sent the brand’s new Dream Team collection. This gift set includes;

I’m not sure how readily available this specific set is, but the brand doe offer other gift set options.

This set includes one of my all-time favorite Grace & Stella products – Energizing Eye Masks. I have used these before and they feel SO GOOD on your face. When you apply them you instantly get a cooling sensation under your eyes which feels really good. When you remove them you just need to gently rub in any remaining serum. It absorbs quickly and does not leave any sticky residue on your face. Since your eye area is very delicate, you want to make sure you only use quality products in that area.

This set comes with several eye masks (single use). Trust me, once you try them you’ll want to have more of them. Thankfully they are VERY budget friendly unlike similar products from other brands. You can get 48 pairs for $34 on the brand’s website. You can’t even get a few pairs from other brands for that same price point.

I should mention they stay on your face too, so you can move about your home and do what you need to do while you wait the necessary time for the eye masks to work their magic.

I have not tried the mud mask yet. I plan on trying it out next week when I am on break. I fully plan on enjoying every moment of my vacation, including pampering myself.

I LOVE the brand’s Rose Spray. I have used that product in the past too. It has a very delicate scent. It shouldn’t bother people who are sensitive to fragrances.

The spray is very soothing. I spray it on my face when I step out of the shower, and after I wash my face. You can even spray it on throughout the day over your make up for added moisture and refreshment.

I wish I knew about hyaluronic acid many years ago. It’s vital for your skin.

This product is not kidding when it says “Say Hi to hydration.” This product is fabulous when it comes to making your skin feel soft and hydrated. I use it morning and night after I wash my face. So far I am very impressed by the results. It works even BETTER than a pricier hyaluronic acid product I was using prior to this. This product is only $10 on the brand’s website! Ten dollars for a great-working product. Talk about a win-win.

Not pictured are the brand’s Cleaning Balm. It’s different than other cleaners. It’s literally a balm. It’s a  little weird to get used to at first, but it does a great job washing your face (including make up) and it washes off just fine (even though I was worried about it leaving my skin feeling greasy).

Also not pictured is the brand’s lip mask. This is a great on-the-go lip product to protect your lips from the harsh elements while adding moisturizer and healing cracked, dry lips.

Cleanlogic

With all these great beauty products I have written about thus far, there does come a time when you need to wash your face to remove make up and prep your skin for the must-have beauty products. Let the brand Cleanlogic help you with that.

I received from the brand the most unique way to clean my face in the form of textured pads. These are a great alternative to cotton pads. In fact, I think these work a lot better than a cotton pad.

I like that the typical pad should last about 30 days. Seeing as how the brand does sell multi-packs, these can also be a cost effective way to clean your face compared to typical cotton pads.

I’ll be honest. I was worried that these might be too harsh on my skin (which can be sensitive sometimes), but that was not the case. These did a good job cleaning my face, and I didn’t experience any negative effects. They are soft, not abrasive.

I like that I have better control with these compared to a wash cloth too. Plus I don’t have to add 14+ wash cloths to the laundry each week (washing my face at least twice a day). I can just wash and rinse off one of these cleanser pads and let it air dry until I need it again.

The brand even has a large version that allows you to get into all the “nooks and crannies” of your body. It also exfoliates your skin. I have a lot of dry skin due to the winter weather, especially on my legs and arms. This is a lot cleaner and easier to use that exfoliating scrubs, which can often leave sugar, salt, coffee or nut shells all over your shower (depending on the type you use). You can use this, rinse it and let it air dry until you need it again. It’s also twice the size of a wash cloth.
