How to Cleanse with Jane Iredale Magic Mitt!





PRODUCT: Jane Iredale Magic Mitt, JaneIredale.com
PRICE: $15.00 Full Size

BEAUTY BOX: Beautyfix Spring 2012
CATEGORY: Specialty Skin Care Products
TYPE: Cleanser

FOR THE NEXT GENERATION MAKEUP REMOVER
“This quickly and completely removes all makeup using warm water only. -No soap, No chemicals, No cleanser needed!”


The Claim:
The Magic Mitt features specially knitted micro-fibers that are many times thinner than a human hair. The combination of warm water and micro-fibers breaks down the surface tension of the oils that bond makeup to skin, helping dissolve oils in your makeup by turning the makeup into an emulsion that is easily swept away by the mitt.

Benefits:
A non-drying cleansing alternative that is quick, easy to use, and travels well.

QUICK TAKE
Key Feature(s): Special micro-fibers
Texture: Super-soft
Complexion: Healthy
Results: Squeaky clean skin
Wear: Lasts forever
Best Usage: Daily, AM & PM
Packaging: Cleansing Glove
Best For: Normal to dry skin
Verdict: Yes, I recommend it!


DOWN & DIRTY DETAILS
Complexion:  Healthy - dull lifeless skin transforms into a complexion that looks healthier.
Results: Squeaky clean skin  - Your skin is gently exfoliated, successfully removing all my makeup leaving it squeaky clean, as well as looking and feeling much healthier. My skin felt clean, without it feeling tight and dry. From the first time I used this, there was a noticeable difference in my skin’s hydration level. After a week of gentle exfoliating my skin’s texture is much smoother.
Wear: Lasts forever - Supposedly it lasts as long as a wash cloth. My glove is still in excellent condition after using nearly a year.
Best Usage: Daily, AM & PM - Use twice daily to cleanse and gently exfoliate skin. If you're looking for a more thorough clean then use cleanser at night, and use this amazing little mitt in the AM.
Best For: Normal to dry skin - This product is better suited for someone who has normal to dry skin type, since most cleansers contain stripping ingredients that can leave skin feeling tight and dry.  
Application: Saturate Magic Mitt with warm water, place the mitt on your hand, and massage over your face in circular motions. When one side is heavy with makeup, turn mitt to use the other side and finish wiping away residue. Afterward, use a little hand-soap to wash mitt, once dry, it is sterile and ready for next use.

FEEDBACK
PInkyPrIss Reviews:
I had been dying to try this product ever since it was featured in New Beauty Magazine Fall 2010 Issue. I love that it is washable and reusable, making it great to travel with and it is environmentally friendly. There is no need to purchase cleansing products, so economically I am coming out ahead. It quickly dissolves makeup and is incredibly effective at removing eye all eye makeup without leaving any residue on the skin. The act of massaging skin helps to stimulate collagen. Stimulated collagen works to improve skin’s texture and tone. The cure for dull skin is gentle exfoliation, which you are doing during each use. I highly recommend this innovative product; it makes for a great gift for a friend.

What's in BeautyFix's Beauty Box, Spring 2012?

I have received my first ever Beautyfix beauty box. What is Beautyfix? Beautyfix is a seasonal beauty subscription program. For $49.99 per quarter, you can text and sample very high-end beauty products. Read more about Beautyfix and find a promotional code on the MakeupTalk Blog.

I spent $20, usually $50 without a promotional code, to receive this seasonal beauty box from Beautyfix. My shipment contained five full-sized products and three deluxe size samples of beauty items that I picked out and wanted to try.


For of $20 dollars I received eight new products valued at $298.11!  Follow link here, to figure out the value of your Beautyfix Box. Smart shoppers could get over three hundred dollars worth of beauty products for just, $19.99. Those who don't do their research could end up spending $50 on $25 worth of products. -Don't be one of them!

DermaQuest - Skin Vitalight ($63.00)
- #1 in Top 8, Most Expensive Beautyfix Samples. Obviously, if this is the most valuable sample available to receive in my Beautyfix box, then I am most definitely going to try it. -Tough decisions. LOL






______________________________


3LAB - M Creme ($47.05)
- #2 in Top 8,  Most Expensive Beautyfix Samples. If, this cream is so unique that it contains stem cells from a Swiss apple tree that's going extinct, with only three trees left in existence, then I am sure as heck going to try it out!




______________________________


Kinerase - Photofacials Night Moisturizer ($41.06)
- #3 in Top 8, Most Expensive Beautyfix Samples. I've been looking into purchasing a potent night cream and now I don't have to look any further! I see this moisturizer contains two of my favorite skin care ingredients: Kinetin and Matryxl. Find out why I love those two ingredients when I post my review.

Lisa Hoffman Beauty - Night and Day 2 Vitamin A and C Serum ($39.00)

- #2 in Top 8, Most Expensive Beautyfix Samples. Serums, in general, are a favorite of mine to sample. They are all so different. For example, they can feel gel-like in texture, while others are more liquid in consistency; Serums containing Vitamin C leave your skin glowing; Some, effectively moisturize your skin so you can do without a facial cream (still always wear SPF); and those chock-full of potent antioxidants help by increasing effectiveness of your daily sunscreen protection. ~Review coming soon...

Chella - Enzyme Exfoliating Crema Mask ($30.00)
#7 in Top 8, Most Expensive Beautyfix Samples. Choosing this item to sample was an easy decision considering it's high in both value and size quantity. Of course, there is also the fact that I regularly treat my skin to facial masks at least fifteen days out of each month. ~This will come in handy





______________________________
Dermacyte - Oxygen Concentrate - Travel Size ($28.00) 
Did not make Top 8, but would have made Top 9. If, oxygen facial treatments at a spa are considered great for the skin, then an oxygen concentrate must be as well. -What do you think?
______________________________



Kronos - Krystal High Gloss Shine Spray ($35.00) 
Did not make Top 8 Most Expensive Beautyfix Samples. However, I was in desperate need a new shine spray, so I opted to sample this full size product.

Jane Iredale - Magic Mitt ($15.00) 
Did not make Top 8 Most Expensive Beautyfix Samples. I was super stoked to see this product was up for grabs! I was actually just about to purchase it online the same week I saw it on the Beautyfix site. I had my eye on trying this item out since I first read about it back in 2010, in the New Beauty Magazine Fall 2010 Issue. ~Stand by for product review...
