Andalou Naturals Clementine + C Illuminating Toner Review

I'm addicted to toner, it's no lie. I love floral waters, but there are times when I want to try a toner with more than one beneficial ingredient. Since my mom loves this stuff and it was on sale for $8 CAN on well.ca, I thought what the hay! Excuse my secret, unintentional, rhyming talent. Andalou Naturals is a great brand and while they're not Canadian, their products are affordable, easy to find, and work rather well.

Description: Fruit Stem Cell Complex, superfruit antioxidants, and Vitamin C, work as powerful cell energizers to target hyperpigmentation and UV damage, improving skin tone and texture. Aloe vera effectively hydrates and oxygenates, balancing pH, and stimulating circulation for healthy luminosity.

 I buy brightening products and can't even tell whether they actually brighten or not. Major fail on my part.  In my defence, I haven't used it long enough and I don't think a toner will have that much of a impact. Either way, I love it as a toner. It comes in a plastic spray bottle, which is rather sturdy and probably great for travelling with. I haven't experienced any leakage or malfunctioning of the spray apparatus (fancy word, huh?). It sprays a beautiful fine mist that kinda excites me more than the toner itself. I hate when spray bottles splat large droplets all over your face and it feels like you just washed it again. A fine mist is a must! It smells just like tangerines, very refreshing in my books, and it hasn't irritated my sensitive skin at all. I use this at night mostly, but on occasion I enjoy a mid day refresher with it. This is a fantastic toner, highly recommend, and both my mom and I would 100% repurchase. I plan on trying more products from the brightening line.

Retails for approx. $10 CAN/ $12.95 USD for 6 fl oz. Can be purchased through Well.ca, Andalou Naturals, and other retailers worldwide.

Beauty Routine Tag!

I was tagged by the beautiful Ashley Nicole of Green Beauty Life. I love tags, so thanks for tagging me doll!

1. Name a beauty routine you rarely do.

Apply a full face of makeup. I'm lazy and hate the feel of a caked on face, so I opt for a quick dusting of powder, mascara, brow pencil and gloss on a daily basis.

2. Is washing your makeup brushes something you do regularly?

Definitely! I don't wear makeup that often, but I still tend to wash the brushes that I use (usually powder brush) at the end of every week.

3. How long will you last with chipped nail polish?

As an aesthetician, I can't wear polish. If I do, it's only for a couple of days anyway. Probably not long though, since I hate the way it looks.

4. How long do you put off buying/replacing a product even if you really need it?

If I need it, then I buy it. I don't put it off unless I can't physically get to it.

5. What is your worst beauty habit?

I'm a picker! PICK, PICK, PICK! Ugh, hate admitting this. I totally pick my face and that's why I have so many scars. I also touch my face all the time. Yes, I know that touching and picking spreads bacteria. Learn from my mistakes people.

6. Name something non-beauty related that you put off all the time.

Clothes shopping. I hate the process because there's far too many options. Plus, I gotta be in the mood for it.

7. When going out somewhere, do you leave getting ready to the last minute or not?

I like to take my time. Even if I could get ready within a few minutes, I like to have plenty of time to do things in between. I loathe rushing.

8. Can you commit to spending bans?

Yeah, I've done it before.

9. How organized are your makeup/nail polish collections?

Both collections are rather small and I'd say pretty organized!

10. What is the longest you've gone without writing a blog post?

Probably a week or two. I love life, always, but sometimes it gets in the way of blog posts :).
