Awesome new face wash – for under $6!!

I am sooooooo excited about this new find, I had to share it with you! I recently read that Lo Bosworth (from The Hills) was a huge fan of PURPOSE® Gentle Cleansing Wash. She said “It’s my favorite face wash; it’s amazing!”

I decided to get my hands on the product, so I reached out to the company. I was sent a sample, and I’m totally in love. I have very sensitive skin, so normally I spend anywhere from $20 – $30 on facewash.

I’ll never make that mistake again!

PURPOSE® products were developed with dermatologists and are trusted to be gentle enough for all skin types, even sensitive skin.

Clean, pure, soap-free PURPOSE® Gentle Cleansing Wash removes dirt, oil, and make-up without stripping or drying your skin like soap can. And it won’t sting your eyes, so it’s ideal for removing eye make-up products. PURPOSE® Gentle Cleansing Wash leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed.

Clinically shown as gentle to your skin as water1, the mild formula effectively cleanses without overly drying or irritating skin.

I absolutely adore this product, and if you are looking to save a few bucks on your facewash – this is a safe bet. You should give it a try!

MSRP: Only $5.99!

Megan Fox is the new face of Giorgio Armani Cosmetics!

The announcement has come as little surprise to the industry, which has watched the 24-year-old’s relationship with the veteran Italian designer go from strength to strength in recent years.

She is a regular at his catwalk shows, and wore an Armani Privé gown for her recent wedding to 90210 star Brian Austin Green.

Fox even replaced Victoria Beckham as the face of the label’s underwear campaign earlier this year – a role Beckham had held since 1998.
In a statement today she said: Mr Armani is an iconic visionary for all things fashion.

‘I’m honored to be associated with him and part of this campaign.’

And the praise from the designer was mutual. Armani called the actress ‘confident and seductive.’

‘She embodies the spirit of the women of today… Her beautiful features reveal femininity, sensuality and strength,’ he said.

She is the latest in a line of high-profile actresses to front a beauty campaign for a major brand.
