Olay Fresh Effects Products {Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour Cleansing System}

I recently participated in a VoxBox in which I received Fresh Effects face wash (click here for Review) and I was among the top participants for Olay and I received a free box of goodies thanks to Olay and Influenster. This is the first in a series reviewing all the products I received, which included:

• Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour Cleansing System
• BB Cream Light-to-Medium
• Long Live Moisture Satin Finish Lotion
• Shine, Shine Go Away! Shine Minimizing Cleanser
• Swipe Out! Refreshing Make-up Removal Clothes

Here is my review of the Va-Va-Vivid! Powered Contour Cleansing System which from her on out I will call the VVV Cleansing System. The VVV Cleansing system claims to “Liberate your skin from dirt, oil, and makeup for fresh, fearless, unstoppable freshness. An ingeniously designed power brush to get around your face’s contours—the T-zone, hairline, and nose—for a 400% better clean compared to basic cleansing.”

I have been using this for about a week now, and much like my Olay Pro X which I purchased previously with my own money it really brought up all the dirt, oil and makeup that had seeped into my pores and skin, causing a few minor breakouts on my face. This was expected as this is the usual way my face reacts to this type of product; I did notice that my cleanser really foamed up better when I used this product on my face. The rubber bristles of the brush made it easy to clean and left me satisfied with the level of cleanliness, I am very cautious about putting anything that might cause a break-out on my face.  Also, I felt my face was very clean and makeup free after washing my face with this device, the machine itself is very easy to maneuver the triangle shape allows it to get into the areas around my nose and mouth.

My only gripe about this product is the turn-on and turn-off function, it is downright difficult to turn this puppy off after I use it, I almost broke one of my acrylic nails doing it the other night. It may be a user problem but it’s annoying nonetheless.  I wish it had a switch instead of a push down button that would make this so much better. Also remember to keep the directions as you will need them to replace the batteries. This does not come with replacement head capabilities so there will come a time when you need to replace this but for the price I wouldn’t worry too much about that.

Overall I give this product thumbs up, it’s easy to use and very affordable, if you have minor concerns about your acne this would be a good product to buy especially if it is your first face cleansing system.

Have you purchased this product, if so what do you think about? Leave your feedback below.

Fresh Effects {Shine, Shine Go Away!} Shine Minimizing Cleanser

This is my first in my series of Influenster Paradise VoxBox reviews. I have been using the cleanser for about a week now. I don’t usually suffer from shine issues but this summer has been a humid nightmare, and my face has started to look like an oil slick. I have started to apply a mattifying powder throughout the day to absorb some of the oil I have started getting on my T-Zone.

I am really loving this cleanser so far, I have very sensitive skin and just about everything makes me break out, luckily this cleanser has caused me no issues and has actually helped reduce the prominence of oil on my face. I use it both in the morning and again when I am removing my makeup. My face looks fresh and clean and I am no longer using the mattifying powder multiple times a day. It isn’t drying to my skin at all, I have what I would consider combination skin. Also the smell is great, its not overpowering and leaves you feeling refreshed.

I would definitely reccomend trying this cleanser if you suffer from the oily tzone issue. This is a definite must for this humid summer!
