I recently received a small sample of the new  Garnier Clean+ Blackhead Eliminating Scrub. 

It claims to:

• unclog pores and smooth the skin after one use.
• diminish pores after one week
• clear complexion after one week

I was really impress with this face scrub and here is why:

I like that:

• It has small exfoliating beads that are gentle and gritty enough to clean the skin 
• It is not harsh as compare to other scrubs
• It does not leave your skin dry or in pain
• I like that it contains charcoal to get rid of excess oil and dirt 
• It does not have a strong smell
• It diminishes your pores
• It leaves my skin smooth and soft
• More importantly, it leaves my skin totally clean

 However:

I have sensitive skin so I am very picky when it comes to skin care. I have try many brands before but they all left my skin feeling a bit dry or red. I really like that after I use it, my skin feels clean and soft. However, I have only use it four times since I only have a small sample. I have a lot of acne scars that I wish to eliminate. Since I only used it a few of times, I can't fully guarantee that it erases scars or treats acne. I have some pimples and acne in my face and it does not help much to treat it which was a major let down.

 Conclusion

My score is 3/5.  I would have given it a higher rating since I love the cleansing properties of the scrub but it did not help me clear my completion. However, I want to be fair so I have decided to purchase a full size sample and use it for a longer period of time. I will be able to do a more in detail review of it. 

It is said to remove stains from dark polish, smoke and foods.

Since I do nail designs most of the time and I mostly use dark nail polish, every time I remove my nail polish I have to put nail polish again because my nails are stained. So, I have been trying to find a way to whiten my nails. While I was at Sally Beauty Supply, I found this paste and thought I should try it out. It costs $3.99 and $3.59 for Beauty Club members.

This is that information that you can find about this paste in www.SallyBeauty.com:

• Helps eliminate yellowing
• Great for artificial and natural nails
• For extreme cleansing and brightening
• Non-abrasive
• Includes brush

ASP Whitening Nail Paste effectively removes stains from the nails due to dark polish, smoke, colored and dye. Cleanses nail beds and whitens nails. Yellow stains will be a thing of the past and your nails will look glamorous.

This is how my nails looked before I use the paste.

This is how they look after I use the whitening paste.

My Rate is 3/5

Reasons:

Pros: Good cleanser

Cons: Tiny amount

• I love how clean it makes my nails, but you have to work at it. Great scrubbing brush is included. 
• It's not perfect, but I like it, especially for the price. 
• Too little in the tube and I have to keep buying more.

I will not be purchasing this product again. Even though it does clean my nails, it requires a lot of scrubbing and the tube does not have a lot of product. But most importantly after using it makes my nails feel dry.
