Product Review: Cream & Coco Face Polish & Face Mask

Posted in Product Review, Skin by

I’m sooooo far behind on my product reviews, so over the next few days I’ll be reviewing all of the products I’ve tried recently.

Today’s review is Cream & Coco‘s Black Lemon Sugar Face Polish and Moroccan Mint & Chocolate Face Mask, which was sold as a set.

I was first introduced to the brand, Cream & Coco through Hairscapades. I began following Cream & Coco on Instagram and the pictures of the products just looked like they smelled sooooo delicious! Not only did the products look and sound amazing from the description, but she is very dedicated to her business and her customers. Great selling point for me.

I made a purchase during the Black Friday sale which included face products, a lip set and samples of hair products.

On to the review…

I used the face polish in the shower one evening. Honestly, I wasn’t planning on using the face polish at all because I know my skin is so sensitive (I really wanted the face mask). In addition, it contains lemon and my skin usually reacts to citrus. For whatever reason I decided to try it and AS SOON AS I put it on my face, my face felt like it was on fire. I hadn’t even rubbed the sugar in. I rinsed it off immediately and it still felt like it was burning for a few minutes, then it finally stopped. Needless to say, I won’t be using it again. I should have listened to my inner voice because I really bought the set for the clay mask. There was no lasting effect from the face polish though, so that was good.

The face mask, on the other hand, is fabulous! My skin loves masks. This particular mask is smooth and easy to apply. Once it’s on, you can feel the minty tingle and smell the mint. It’s like aromatherapy at the same time! After rinsing, my face was refreshed and didn’t feel dry or stripped. I’ve used it a couple of times and I enjoy it. Thumbs up for this one!

Aubrey Organics – 25% off plus free shipping on orders of $25 or more. My favorite product of theirs is the Honeysuckle Rose Moisturizing Conditioner. This conditioner is extremely moisturizing if your hair is dry and brittle. Ends 11/25/12 at 11:59 pm! <;—- Hurry!

Carol’s Daughter – Free shipping on orders of $25, plus a Free Limited Edition Monoi Leave-In Conditioner. Use code “FB04” for an additional 10% off. I currently use the Hair Balm when my hair is really dry. I heard the Monoi Collection is pretty great. I have yet to try it. This deal ends 11/25/12 at 11:59pm. <;—- Hurry!

Cream & Coco – There’s a whole page of Black Friday Specials that are extended through Cyber Monday. I just placed an order on Black Friday, so I haven’t tried the products yet, but I’m overly excited! Everything looks good enough to eat.

EdenBodyWorks – 50% off everything. Use code “Cyber12”. I received a sample of the leave-in conditioner in my CurlBox, but haven’t purposely tried it yet. Remember I accidentally used it on my straightened hair. Eek! Smells good though. This is a Cyber Monday deal.

Hair Rules – 40% off everything, use code “Cyber” The sale is from 11/26/12 at 10 am EST until 11/27/12 at 10 am EST (weird hours). This was another line I wanted to try, but they were a bit pricey to just try something out. They recently lowered their prices though, so perhaps now is the time!

Karen’s Body Beautiful – 20% off use code “KBBLove” with a minimum $25 purchase. Although I’ve never tried this product before, I’ve always heard good things. This may be the time to try it! This deal is good now through Cyber Monday.

Oyin Handmade – 20% off plus free shipping on orders of $60 or more. Lately I’ve been using the Hair Dew to moisturize my hair and the Whipped Pudding for additional moisture and to slick down the front since it’s a little heavier than the Hair Dew. This deal is good now through Cyber Monday!

Senica Naturals – 20% off use code “TG12” plus free shipping on orders of $75 or more. In addition, all orders of $50 get a free Senica Naturals tote. I recently fell in love with the Senk Shampoo bar. I ordered the Senk Conditioner and Shampoo Bar set but haven’t tried the conditioner yet. This deal is good now through Cyber Monday!

One thing I've been meaning to try…

Heautiful Hair Steamer – 20% off this weekend only. I’ve heard all great things about this hair steamer. I also feel like it would be amazing to use for my face.

I can’t end this without mentioning nail polish! My absolute favorite nail polish brands…

Zoya – $20 for a Dream box! Choose 3 of your fav colors to create a Dream Box. Use code Dream at checkout. This deal is good now through Cyber Monday.

Harlow & Co. – 15% off use code “CyberMon15”. I am a new addict of KBShimmer brand nail polish. The glitter is to die for! In addition to the 15% off, they’re choosing 4 orders placed on Cyber Monday to be FREE for customer appreciation. How great is that?!

If you know of any other great deals and steals, feel free to post them in the comments.

Happy Shopping!
