DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

Ok, this item in my January Allure Beauty Box really needed no sampling from me - it's long been one of my favorite products in my bathroom!

I first discovered it as a sample item in a DHC catalog - I highly support DHC's policy to include samples in every catalog, so you can try products before committing to spend money on them. I'll admit that it took a long time for me to get around to trying it, because I looked at it and thought, "Ew! Put oil on my face? Um, no!"

Wrong.

I also was one of those people who thought that if it doesn't lather, it doesn't clean.

Wrong again.

You apply this product with dry hands on a dry face then rinse off. It dissolves all the make-up, rinses clean, and just leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean without the slightest trace of residue. The real test was when I swiped a cotton ball of toner across my cheek after using this, and it came away clean. No scrubbing. Just massage on with your fingertips and rinse, and it was actually completely clean! Amazing!

The full-size bottle might seem a little pricey, but it's worth it, and you can often catch it on sale. It also lasts a really long time, because it only takes one squirt from the pump to thoroughly clean your whole face.

Grade: A+ (seriously, there is NO room for improvement here - it couldn't get any better!)

What the Allure editors had to say:

What it is: A gentle, oil-based facial cleanser for normal to dry skin

What it does: When massage in, the water-soluble formula binds to dirt and dissolves makeup - even waterproof mascara - without stripping skin or leaving behind a greasy sheen.

How it looks/feels/smells: The frangrance-free cleanser is satisfyingly slippery and transforms into a cloudy white fluid as you rinse.

Key ingredient: Olive oil (moisturizes and cleanses)

Why we like it: Rubbing a handful of oil all over your face sounds liek the ideal way to get a gigantic breakout, but this oil-based cleanser couldn't be3 more different than the kind of oil you put on your salad. The lightweight yet hydrating formula emulsifies in water to deep-clean skin, and unlike otehr oil cleansers that can leave behind traces of residue, this one rinses off completely. Just make sure your hand and face are totally dry before massaging on a quarter-size drop - the cleanser needs to be in its oil form to bond to teh junk on your skin and wash it away.

Price: $28 for 6.7 ounces

Just shoot me

I had another morning meeting, but at least this one was more interesting. It was about active shooter situations. I didn't get bacon, but I got a surprisingly good yogurt. And coffee. The lessons were for HR professionals to establish policies and train their employees for active shooter situations. Our office is wide open with no hiding places, a glass front and in an industry that pisses people off on a daily basis. And our HR office is located several states away and has no concern for its employees. We're screwed. *** It's Friday evening and I'm home and cozy and out of the cold, wet, icky outness out there. But I'm hungry. No problem. My 17-year-old daughter has a life - meaning she's out. So I texted her to bring home sushi. Parents, don't miss out on the opportunity to take full advantage of your children. (If you feel the slightest bit guilty, just remember those nights you had to run out to the only store that was open at 10 p.m. on a Thu...

Knock, knock

All day, every day. Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. That's my neighbor with a hammer. I live in a townhouse. These are rentals. We're not allowed to hang things on the wall. You've been at this long enough to have built furniture for the whole town. What the HELL are you hammering at every frickin' day? *** Note to Discover Card: I sent you that "preapproved" credit application, and you sent me back a denial because my job pays shit. Ok. I let it go. Chase was fine with me, and I've paid every bill on time or early. So, Discover, you can just STOP sending me more credit offers! You missed your chance, and I've moved on. Get over it. *** I've been rewatching Girlfriends. I remember loving this show. Now, I see it's about a so-called strong and independent woman whose only purpose in life is to get a man. Then keep a man. Then get married. I have two daughters. I tell them, "DON'T EVER BE THIS WOMAN." Live y...

Derma E Hydrating Night Creme

I've seen a lot of beauty magazines that say a night cream is really no different from a day cream, but Derma E Hydrating Night Creme is definitely something you want to use at night. This item in my January Allure Beauty Box is the kind of product that makes me so glad I subscribe. I get so many premium-size samples like this that I barely have to go out and buy any full-size products anymore. They also allow me to really get a feel for a product before I spend money on a full-size container. This night cream has a thick, luxurious texture that feels great going on at the end of a long day after cleansing. It's especially welcome on my dry, taut, winter skin. After applying, I got a little nervous, as it felt like there was definitely a coating on top of my skin (which is why you wouldn't want to use it for day). But I kept it on overnight and woke up to find it fully absorbed and my skin feeling much fresher and plumper in the morning than it has in quite a while....
