Hey girls! So, I bet rarely you bump into a toner which is super moisturizing and still removes excess sebum? Well, the product I’m reviewing today is everything I just described the perfect toner and more. It’s called the Marie Louise Moisturizing. It mixes hydrolyzed yeast and desalted deep sea water to remove excess sebum and makeup while moisturizing your face to keep your skin glowing in a natural way. You can purchase it on their site (link will be in the sidebar) for $81 which might seem a lot, but keep reading to see why it’s worth it!
Pro(s):
-It removes excess makeup while not drying out your skin.
-It conditions and won’t leave a film like other toners.
-Fragrant perfume-y smell that won’t irritate sensitive skin.
Con(s):
-A bit pricey, but worth it (pro?)!
Overall review: I didn’t have to rinse my face after using the tones because it doesn’t leave a sticky film. $81 might seem like a lot, but it’s actually worth it. I’ve been using this since April and it really transformed my skin. It part of my daily face routine now sine it’s really conditioning. It doesn’t dry out my skin like Clinique’s toner. Since its professional skincare, I don’t think you would need to get a facial because ever since I’ve used this, my esthecian has seen an improvement in my skin. I don’t break out that often either. It’s only once in a while testing out products. Oh yeah, and one bottle will last you forever! Thanks to Lola for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoyed!
Rating: 10/10 :)
Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, totally worth the $81!

Review: Marie Louise Moisturizing Toner

Review: Marie Louise Washing Foam
Hey girls! After all of my success with the skincare reviews, I’m yet again reviewing another company. I’ve reviewed it before, but I’ll be introducing a new product today. It’s called the Marie Louise Washing Foam. This retails for $51 off of the marielouisecosmetics.com. Basically, it’s a facial cleanser that removes everyday buildup of dirt, grime and bacteria. Keep reading to see my 2 cents on this product!
Pro(s):
-A little but goes a long way.
-You get a lot of product for the hefty price you pay.
-It removes dirt/grime and exfoliates.
Con(s):
-The price is very hefty!
-The smell of it might bother some people.
Overall review: Personally, I think that this is an okay cleanser. It does the job, buts sets you back about $50 which not everyone can afford in this recession, but if you want a spa feeling at home then buy this product. The smell is the only thing that threw me off other than the price. The smell is weird. I can’t even describe it, but most of you might be bothered by it. I do like this cleanser though. You only need one pump of this stuff to wash your entire face and then you will be able to feel squeaky clean. It literally made my face squeak when I used this cleanser. Well, that’s just my 2 cents on this product. I hope all of you enjoyed and more reviews coming soon!

Is it recommended by Vicky? : I definitely recommend this for people NOT on a budget!

Review: Marie Louise Clear Cleansing Gel
Hey girls! So, my finals are almost over so we don’t get any homework which means that I can focus more on the blog for the entire summer until I start residency. Today I’ll be reviewing the Marie Louise Cleansing Clear Gel. This product retails for $39 currently since it’s on discount for 31% off, but originally its $57.
Pro(s):
-Removes all makeup including waterproof and MAC Liquid last liner.
-Conditions the skin and leaves skin feeling clean.
-Thick consistency which thins out after rubbing in.
Con(s):
-When used on eyes, after rinsing, your vision is cloudy for a minute or two.
Overall review: I overall really love this product. Whenever I have super heavy makeup on, I used this and it gets rid of all of your makeup less than 5 minutes. It reminds me a lot of a thick gel cleansing oil because when you rub it into your skin, it thins out into a cleansing oil like MAC’s or NARS’ cleansing oils’ consistencies. I used it on my eyes too and it gets rid of stubborn makeup, especially MAC Liquid last liner which most of you might know takes forever to remove. It’s my Holy Grail makeup remover and you only need a little bit for your entire face. Thanks to Jessica for requesting this review and I thanks all of you for subbing and reading!

Review: Marie Louise Facial Moisturizer
Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Marie Louise Facial Moisturizer. You can buy it for $75 currently since they have a 31% discount at the beginning of the month but its original price is $109. You can purchase it at their website (the link is in the right bar). You get 1.06 ounces of product. Keep reading to know more!
Pro(s):
-Very moisturizing.
-Plumps and firms my skin.
-It doesn’t make me greasy.
Con(s):
-Made me break out and I have dry skin in the winter.
Overall review: I really like this product for the winter months when your skin is dehydrated and dry. It absorbs in very fast and it feels very soft on your skin. I fell that it’s best for older people because it might be too thick for younger skin. It can cause little bumps on your skin. Other than that, it made be break out, but it wasn’t that bad. I just really like it, but not for summer. Thanks to Gina for requesting this review and I hope all of my readers enjoy my review!
Rating: 8/10
Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, best for winter!

Review: Marie Louise Restoration Clear Gel
Hi girls, today I’ll be reviewing the Marie Louise Restoration Clear Gel. It’s basically an exfoliating gel that you should use one a week to remove dirt, makeup, and dead skin cells so the production of skin cells keeps on happening and doesn’t build up and age skin. It retails from marielouisecosmetics.com for $51. Keep reading to know more.
Pros:
-Nicely exfoliates without an abrasive feel.
-No particular disturbing scent!
-Colorless!
-Daily use isn’t necessary!
Con(s):
-A bit on the pricey side.
Overall review: I really like it although it’s a bit on the pricey side and you need a lot of pumps of product to be able to properly exfoliate. I normally take about 3 pumps (the minimum) and rub it into different areas f my skin gently (because it can cause damage if you rub too hard) and I feel grains on my hands and its actually my dead skin coming off in little balls, They aren’t very big, but just big enough to be able to see it with your naked eye (don’t worry, it’s not that small). You can actually see the dead skin cells in the little grains that rub off from the gel and they are very dark and dirty looking. I like the way it exfoliates without the little beads which kid of irritate my skin so this product will be on my Holy Grail list. I will probably ask for a backup on my B-Day! I hope you enjoyed my review!
Would I purchase it again? : Yes, but very pricey.
Rating: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10 conveniently in a bottle with a pump that delivers just the right amount of product.
Is it VICKY approved? : Yes; best for exfoliation!
