Hello Beautiful!
We're gonna talk about Alba products.
I went a little crazy, but instead of using my actual money, I used my meal plan money. Unfortunately my university's choice in cuisine is not the greatest. At the end of the year, I am left with so much money. I cannot get this money back at the end of the year and it will not roll over to the following year. Fortunately, one of the markets on campus gives us pleasant surprises, such as the occasional massive supply of Alba products. I have only used one Alba product before in the future and that is one of my toners. I love the toner and so I did not think I could go wrong with any of the products I picked up.
In this picture I'm showing a cleansing facial wash made with coconut milk, two face masks, two moisturizers, eye gel, and a face scrub. I have tried every product aside from the face masks and so far I love them!
The facial cleanser with coconut milk leaves my face feeling fresh. I used it after the facial scrub with pineapple enzymes and the two products make a perfect cleansing duo. My face was soft and supple, and it smelled like a tropical fruit smoothie. I actually went the next day without washing my face in the morning (a risky thing) to see what would happen and my face remained soft and supple!
I tried out both moisturizers, and once again I had a positive experience. I use the even advanced moisturizer for the AM (because of the SPF 15) and I use the jar in the PM (it's oil free and made with green tea!). The even advanced moisturizer is said to help even out the discoloration of skin as well as keep your face from looking dull. I have not used this product long enough to see it work, but I do appreciate the SPF. San Francisco's sunny rays this past week gave me a sunburnt nose.
The final product that I want to rave about is the eye gel! It is made with green tea, aloe, cucumber, and chamomile extracts! It is said to wake up your eyes and firm the skin surrounding them. But instead of using the gel in the morning, I use it at night. I have used several eye products from brands such as Yes To and Mary Kay. Alba is one of my new favorites. I want to compare Alba to my Yes To eye gel. My Yes To eye gel was not a terrible product, but I ended up using it at night due to a weird residue it would leave on my eyes. Also, there were times where the gel would sort of sting. I am not a fan of that feeling and so I have not been using it too much. I was afraid the Alba gel would do the same thing but not only does it smell better, it keeps my eyes feeling fresh throughout the night, it does not sting, and it does not leave a weird residue. What I really want to do with this gel is keep it in the fridge and then use it in the morning. Unfortunately I do not have a mini-fridge in my room.
Honestly, I love these Alba products. I love them so much that I went back to purchase the chap sticks, an even advanced face cleanser, and a couple of body products. I have been using these products and so I will be posting about more Alba products in the near future.
And if this post has not convinced you to try this product line out yourself, here is what the company claims about their line:
- The products are NOT tested on animals.
- There are no parabens or phthalates.
- 100% vegetarian ingredients
- Hypo-allergenic
- Ph balanced
I am hoping that I have somewhat enticed you to check out this line, because I do not think you will be displeased with the products.
If you have tried out the Alba line, tell me what you personally think! :)
Until next time!
