This is the kit I got in my box! :) It comes with the contour cleansing brush, and a little sample tube of Shine-Shine Go Away! I've saved the best product for last because I'm absolutely IN LOVE with this cleanser/cream. Everything about it is fantastic. I've been wanting this for EVER (well...since I saw the commercials/ads for it). I had it on my "to buy" list, but just didn't have the money to get it. I then got accepted into the Sweet-Heart VoxBox, and almost had a heart attack when I saw I was getting this in it! I was so so so so so happy! :) Now, I have very oily/shiny skin and HUGE pores, so I was hoping that this could possibly take care of both problems, and it has so far!
This is the brush, and boy is this thing TINY! I was expecting a bigger brush, but this is smaller than the palm of my hand. Granted, I have big hands, but still. No matter what the size, it stills packs a POWERFUL cleanse. I was very shocked by the amount of vibration that this little brush gave off. It's much more powerful than the Neutrogena Wave that I had tried before (that claimed to do the exact same things as this), and this only runs off of 1 AAA battery! It's like a mini earthquake for your face, but instead of causing problems, it breaks the gunk out and allows your skin to be normal again! The bristles are rubber, and I feel that it gets deeper into my face than something with nylon bristles. I also think this will help keep the brush longer as they won't flare out and get flat. The card that we received in our box says the Contour brush is:"A vibrating, tri-tip facial cleansing brush that packs some punch! This battery-powered device reaches deep into contours, liberating skin from dirt, oil and makeup in hard-to-reach places for a clean that is 400% better than basic cleansing."
The triangle tip on the brush really does help you get into "hard-to-reach" places. It's PERFECT for getting the creases of your nose, around your eyebrows, and above your upper lip. It's so much better than those circular cleansing brushes that are only good for a big area of your face. It's also awesome for getting near your ear lobe, because when I clean with this system, I go hard and get every spot from my neck up!
I like that this brush is easy to use, can be used in the shower (just not submerged in water) and is compact! It's easy to store for traveling, which I tend to go to my grandparents house every weekend to spend time with them, and taking it is a breeze. One extremely minor thing is that the "Olay" name label has wiped off of my brush...which stinks, but of course it doesn't affect the product, so it's not a big deal.
This cleanser, Shine, Shine Go Away! is AWESOME! First off...the color is freakin' metallic silver! Like what?! That's ridiculously cool, I've never seen a color like that. I'm a nerd, and it reminds me of Bender from Futurama...why? I have no idea.In the Va-Va-Vivid kit, you receive a small trial tube of this cleanser which is 0.68 FL OZ. as you can see in the picture. The awesome part is, is that you only need a pea sized amount on your brush in order to start cleaning your face, so this trial sized tube has lasted me almost two weeks and still going. Now I really find that this cleanser has dramatically reduced the size of my pores, as I have huge pores which have resulted in plenty of blackheads on my nose because they become clogged up, or however the science of pores and acne work. I know they will not completely diminish within two weeks, but by continuing to use this product, I sure hope they go away nicely. The card reads:
"All the purifying power of a mask with the fresh feel of a daily cleanser. This face wash gently lathers and reaches deep into skin to help reduce the appearance of pores."
One thing that I really like in a cleanser is the lather. If one doesn't lather enough, to me it doesn't feel that it's working all that great. This one is like taking cream, putting it on your face, and having it turn into pure foam, and I love it! I love the feeling that it gives me when I have a freshly clean face. Nothing works better than this cleanser and the brush together, and I'm looking forward to purchasing more of it. Of course, you can use the brush with any cleanser, but I'm really loving this one.
Overall I feel that Olay has yet again impressed me big time. I feel anyone with larger pores, acne, or even girls who wear makeup everyday, needs a product to clean the gunk out and make everything smooth. The cost of this product, although I received it for free, is well worth it x10. This kit retails for $12.99 (a steal!) and can be found at mass retailers (Target, Walmart ect.) and drugstores. This can also be purchased on Amazon.com.
Big thank you to Influenster and Olay for bringing me this AWESOME product to test and review!
