Acne has been a hot topic on this blog since the beginning. What causes it, how to prevent it and what to treat it are often discussed here. If you've been following me for a while, you may recall my post on Neutrogena's Light Therapy Acne Mask last year (you can find that posthere ). In short (and seriously over simplified), it's a chemical free mask to treat and prevent acne. I'm quite fond of it, but sometimes I only have a single pimple and don't want to pull out the whole mask. Sometimes I want to spot treat. And now I can, with Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Spot Treatment.
Neutrogena recently released the Light Therapy Acne Spot Treatment and it combines what I liked about the original Light Therapy Acne Mask (chemical free, easy to use, etc.) with some new improvements. One of the things that I didn't like about the original was that you needed to replace the cartridges and the batteries after 30 sessions. With this, all you need to do is replace is the battery once it dies (FYI it only takes 1 AAA battery). Not only is it less of a hassle, it's less of a burden on the environment.
Neutrogena's Light Therapy Acne Spot Treatment is really easy to use. Simply wash and dry your face as usual, place over the pimple you want to treat and turn it on. Once you hear the beep, the device is now on and will run for 2 minutes. You should treat the pimple 3x a day til it's gone. The red and blue light delivers a targeted dose of acne-killing light directly into the source of the breakout.
I personally prefer this over the original Light Therapy Acne Mask because it's portable, less wasteful and easier to store. Plus when my skin has broken out lately, it has been localized, so this is a much better fit.
If you suffer from light to moderate breakouts, this is for you. If you have wider spread breakouts, then you may want to check out the Light Therapy Acne Mask.

Hey beauties! Today I'm sharing a short (and sweet!) post about the Kat Von D Studded Kiss Crème Lipstick I received complimentary to review. If you follow me on social (if not, let's be friends) you likely saw that I received Influenster's Kat Von DBeauty Voxbox. I was gifted the shade Misfit and I seriously love it!
"Studded Kiss Crème Lipstick features a high-chroma content for pure, vivid color in a revolutionary new base formula that’s crystal clear, super-soft, and virtually weightless. Made with smooth, spherical pigments and lip-nourishing ingredients, it’s never been easier to coat your lips in creamy, comfortable color." /source/
For the most part my lipstick collection consists of liquid lipsticks, however I do own one of the original Kat Von D Studded Kiss lipsticks. In short, the new version is definitely an improvement. I found the old formula to tug upon application and it felt pretty drying. I'm happy to say that the new formula is much creamier, smoother and still long wearing.
There are a whopping 40 shades to choose from and I received the shade Misfit. On the Sephora website it's described as a true scarlet, but in person I would have to say it's more of a warm, rust shade. A little brown, but still very much a red. The finish is somewhere between satin and matte - more matte in my opinion.
As far as wear goes, I can get a solid 6 hours out of it. It does transfer but it's minimal and as long as I don't eat anything oily I'm good. For a bullet lipstick it wears very well.
All in all I'm quite happy with this lipstick and am planning on picking up a few more. OG Lolita, I'm coming for you 😉
You can find these lipsticks in-store and online at sephora.com
