Take The Neutrogena Face-off Challenge !

This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with NEUTROGENA and Latina Bloggers Connect.  

 

If you're like me, at the end of the day, sleeping in your makeup is NOT an option. Not only do I still feel dirty if I see my makeup not fully removed, but it really does make me feel like I need to find the perfect makeup remover towelette to get my face feeling clean, breathable and fresh. Plus, waking up to your pillows with makeup stains is not cute!

So when Latina Bloggers Connect and Neutrogena picked me (and other bloggers) to participate in the "Neutrogena Face-Off Challenge" , I thought: Challenge Accepted! Like most girls, searching for the right makeup remover towelette is a pain. We spend money for top quality and sometimes it fails to deliver. So we think, "Maybe the cheaper generic brands will work!" Then those fail to deliver!

I was really excited when I received the towelettes, not because I am just a  fan of Neutrogena, but the package said, "Neutrogena® Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes remove 99.3% of all traces of dirt, oil, and makeup to reveal clean, fresh skin." That was like music to my ears!  Neutrogena is also recommended by dermatologists two times more than any other brand. Therefore, you know it's spot-on.

So did these babies work? Well I put it to the test! My makeup removal routine takes so much time and requires lots of scrubbing, which usually turns my skin red. They provided a white towel just to prove Neutrogena® Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes CAN and WILL remove all your makeup and leave no trace of it on the towel.

So here is me with makeup.

This is what the towel looked like after removing the makeup.  Talk about dirty! But it only took a minute or two, which cut down my nightly face routine drastically!

After washing my face with Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash pink grapefruit foaming scrub (which I use EVERY morning and night) I patted my face dry with the towel. Look! NO MAKEUP!

This really did make even love Neutrogena more! Then again, it doesn't surprise me, Neutrogena provides superior cleansing and make-up removal products.

Check out Neutrogena® Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes  Here and you can purchase them  nationwide at food, drug and mass merchandisers for  $8.99 for 25 towelettes with Vanity Case.  

     

Neutrogena’s Beautiful InsideOut Campaign

Its spring time and what does that mean for us women? It means, flawless, beautiful, natural makeup without it feeling like we are wearing makeup.  Neutrogena sent me over a few products to try for this spring and I must say. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED these products! So what was in my little package, you ask? Oh, well let me share the magic!

• Pink Grapefruit line
• RTR Moisturizer
• Ultra Sheer Sunscreen
• Shine Control Line
• Healthy Lengths Mascara
• MoistureSmooth Color Stick 

I have never tried any of Neutrogena’s makeup line and I will say I was impressed. VERY IMPRESSED. Between using the primer and foundation, my skin didn’t get shiny and it stayed put, as where other foundations, I would have to touch up within the hour. The mascara and mascara gave my eyes a soft look without creasing or smudging. I love when my eye makeup doesn’t smudge or crease, don’t you? , the facial cleansing wipes and makeup remover wipes, DO WONDERS! Usually it’s really hard for me to get my makeup off and to make sure my face is spic-n-span from left over makeup, but the makeup remover wipes and cleansing wipes left no makeup residue on my skin and made it feel so soft! To protect me from the sun the Ultra Sheer Sunscreen, protected my skin without really feeling like sunscreen. It went on sheer and didn’t leave that sunscreen smell that most sunscreens do.

My skin felt so soft to the touch and none of the products were harsh on my skin.  I have always been a fan of Neutrogena, but after being able to try their makeup, I realized that I LOVE them even more. Their products not only help your skin but make you feel beautiful too. And when you feel beautiful, it shines.

I linked the products I received in the list, so make sure you check them out. Also make sure you check out Neutrogena and their Facebook!

Neutrogena Fresh Skin Campaign!

The holidays are here and if you are like me, it means deserts! I openly admit it, my favorite things about the holidays is all the baking people do! I love me some cookies, pumpkin pie and especially MY FAVORITE McDonald’s Holiday Pie! However, with all those sweets, comes breaking out!

I don’t know about you, but I HATE breaking out *Shakes fist at sweets*

Keeping my skin radiant and beautiful is a morning ritual and a nightly ritual! First I remove all my make-up with make-up remover wipes, and then I wash my face with Dial soap. You might be thinking, “Dial?” Yes Dial, it cleans my face REALLY well and not to mention helps dry out any pimples I may have. Then I use an astringent and follow it up with an acne control moisturizer. Yes, this gets done TWICE a day! Throughout the day I use toilet seat covers to remove excess oils  if I feel like I am oily. Lets be honest here, to have beautiful, radiant skin, it takes time!

We all need to show our face some TLC!

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit cream, gel, and scrub cleansers do just that! Their Oil-Free Pink Grapefruit Line cuts through oil to speed the delivery of maximum-strength acne medicine, salicylic acid (2%) to the source of breakouts. And if you are like me, always on the go, we are always looking for a convenient, non-medicated cleanser for acne-prone skin; the daily use cleansing wipes are the perfect solution for on-the-go use, sweeping away pore clogging dirt and oil in one simple step. The Neutrogena Oil-Free Pink Grapefruit Line will leave your skin feeling clean, soft and refreshed.

While most acne products smell horrible and leave your skin feeling EXTRA dry, Neutrogena doesn’t do that! It smells wonderful!

Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair!

 

They say you know when a woman is confident when you see her with a naked face. If your like me, you use makeup for work, school and special events...and if you are like me even more, you feel the most beautiful without makeup.

Taking care of my naked face is important. Why? Because I don't always wear makeup and I am a firm believer that your skin has to breathe.I know it sounds weird right? Whats even more weird to you, is when I am dating a guy, I test him with not my naked body, but my naked face. How he reacts to me without makeup is HUGE. 

Wanna know the verdict! They LIKE ME BETTER without makeup! Why? Because I take care of my skin! Every morning and every night, I wash it, use a deep cleaning astringent and moisturize it! I try not to touch my face throughout the day (as you know, your fingers are dirty, dirty on the skin causes breakouts) and most of all I avoid soda! Soda will cause me to IMMEDIATELY breakout! 

Well ladies, we all donut have the same canvas and what can you use if your skin is uneven, sunspots, etc? Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair! Neutrogena's new line leverages the power of Accelerated Retinol SA and vitamin C to help return your complexion into a clearer more even canvas!  

 

  With summer ending, wearing SPF everyday still is a must! Rapid ToneRepair Day is that the product already contains SPF 30, which means it also protects skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays, preventing further tone damage and prolonging the effects of the treatment. SCORE!!!

   Being a Latina,I have heard darker skin tones, such as many Hispanics, have fewer risks of suffering from uneven skin tone. But did you know, that is all MISCONCEPTIONS! Studies have shown that people of Hispanic decent have higher levels of melanin and therefore are prone to developing hyperpigmentation and dark marks, making it difficult to maintain even-toned skin. Crazy huh?
