Sephora Favorites The Great Cleanse

I think by now if you read my blog you will know that when it comes to skincare I am all about masks and peels. I am not really one for trying cleansers and oils. It has taken me ages to get my skin under control (not that you would know that over the past 3 weeks) and I don't like to mess to much with the cleanser and moisturizer that works. . I had my face break out about two weeks ago after a makeover at Sephora and am still recovering!

But now lets get down to the stuff you care about! The breakdown and value of this set! To start with, this set costs $58 and can be found HERE. The Sephora Collection Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover has a value of $7 but the chemical burns it left on my face are priceless (true story. Not touching this stuff again under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES). The Caudalie Make-Up Remover Cleansing Water is worth $16, the Nude Skincare Perfect Cleanse Nourishing Cleansing Oil a value of $6.62 and the Boscia Makeup-Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil $13. The Fresh Soy Face Cleanser is $19, the Origins Checks and Balances™ Frothy Face Wash $5.10 and the Philosphy Purity Made simple $8.67. The Ole Henriksen African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser™ has a value of $8.14, the GLAMGLOW POWERMUD™ Dualcleanse Treatment $21 and the Algenist GENIUS Ultimate Anti-Aging Melting Cleanser a value of $15. The last two items are the Boscia Tsubaki Oil-Infused Exfoliating Powder with a value of $ 7.68 and the Boscia Mini Konjac Cleansing Sponge $6.67.

So overall the value of this set comes in at a total of $133.38. A great value. But if its worth it or not is something else. I would use the Glamglow, Caudalie cleansing water and Purity for sure. That is a 45.67. So for $12.33 Id get everything else. The value is certainly there, just not sure I need everthing else. With that said however, I will for sure be spending $30 at some point as I will need more dual cleanse and more purity. So basically........ I have no fricken clue.

Now the nitty gritty of what comes in it:

And the biggest reason why I am debating getting it? $20 from the sale of each kit will benefit The Skin Cancer Foundation! TALK ABOUT GUILT FREE SHOPPING!

 

Now do I NEED this? Of course not. But I did want to pick up the St Tropez mousse anyways to try on my face (I hear its AMAZING) and its $22.50 by itself (yes, its a full sized!), and there is enough sunblock in spf 50 (between Shiseido and Ole Henriksen to make up the rest of the value to me. Then I can do what I do with most of my samples to the rest - "here mom!!"

On sale now at sephora.com/sephora.ca for VIB's and thursday (tomorrow) for the rest of you guys!
