When it comes to skin care, one of the most important and beneficial lessons that I've learned is the importance of a good cleansing routine that works with your skin. For me, I've found that a double cleanse with an oil based cleanser to first remove makeup, sunscreen and buildup followed by a creamy or foaming cleanser to effectively cleanse the skin itself works the best to keep my skin healthy, balanced, and generally behaving. Recently, I've had the opportunity to test out the Juno & Co Clean 10 Cleansing Balm* and I'm super excited to share my review of it with you guys!

Are we surprised, friends? A new cleansing oil came out in the drugstore and I absolutely had to review it. Because I so massively love the Physicians Formula The Perfect Matcha Cleansing Balm, as soon as I saw that they had released a cleansing oil in their Organic Wear range, I was basically all in immediately. Literally, I bought it the day that my local Shoppers Drug Mart put out the display. 

So, without further ado, let's get into my review of the new Physicians Formula Organic Wear Double Cleansing Oil, shall we?

I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of collaborations with influencers in the beauty community and I've basically decided that I won't buy them, though there are a couple of exceptions to that. The most glaring exception, which is a product that I knew I absolutely HAD. TO. HAVE. as soon as it was announced was the Pixi + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse. It took forever to come to Canada, and I was about ready to beg someone to pick me up one in the UK and ship to it to me, but I finally found it on the shelf in my local drugstore, so I picked it up immediately and got to testing.

I've actually been dying to try the Lipidol skincare oils since the first time I saw them in Walmart a few months ago, but I decided to hold off and get through some of my other beauty oils before I picked them up. You guys know how much I love an oil! So, anyway, when I got the chance to try out the Lipidol Cleansing Face Oil* and the Lipidol Overnight Face Oil*, I have to admit I was pretty excited. I love trying out affordable skin care options that are widely available, because I think that's really what a lot of people are looking for! Anyway, I've been trying these out for about a week now and I'm ready to give you my thoughts!

I use a cleansing oil to take off my makeup pretty much every single day. It's actually been quite a long time since I started using cleansing oils and I always seem to come back to them - unless I'm too lazy, which is occasional. Still, I find that, for me, nothing takes off my eye makeup quite like a good cleansing oil. I use this as a part of a double cleanse, so I use the cleansing oil to take off the surface makeup and dirt, and then I go in with a traditional skin cleanser to actually clean the skin. I find that this is the most effective way to cleanse my skin, personally, and I can't see this changing anytime soon. SO after all of that introduction, I've recently had the chance to try out the new Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Cleansing Oil* and I'm ready to give my thoughts on how this product performs!

This past month or so has been all about finding the perfect cleanser for me. I've been straight up on a skin care mission for basically the last year and that mission doesn't seem to end. And let's be real... It probably won't, even when I find the perfect combination of things I love. The life of the beauty obsessed always seems to end with being drawn to the things that are new and shiny, doesn't it? Anyway, I first saw this on Caroline Hiron's blog - if you don't read that blog, I do not know what you are doing with your life, because that woman is EVERYTHING - and she said it was a good product with crappy packaging, but that the newer packaging had slightly improved. Anyway, I saw this at Winner's and, of course, had to pick it up and give it a try. I had no choice, right? Anyway, I've been trying it and I'm ready to tell you what I think.

I gotta say... I love cleansing oil. The first one I ever used was by Julep and I've been hooked ever since. Unfortunately, none of the cleansing oils that I've used since I finished my first bottle of the Julep one have lived up to that one. When I first saw this line at Rexall, I was intrigued but I hadn't really heard much about it so I wasn't sure what the buzz was. I do like the claims of it being safe, healthy, and honest, which was probably what drew me in. Since I'm constantly on the hunt for a drugstore cleansing oil that I can find conveniently find locally, I decided that this was the product that I wanted to try out first from this line. So, did it stand up to my holy grail?

It's been about a year since I jumped on the cleansing oil train, and it seems like there's really no stopping me. I was definitely part of the massive group that was terrified of putting any kind of oil on my skin for fear that it would cause some catastrophic explosion of acne, so at first the idea seemed absurd to me. For years, mainstream skincare advertising and lore definitely pushed that idea and I was all about keeping it oil free to keep my skin pimple free. Now, however, I've done a little bit more research on skin care and I'm a little more open to trying new things in my skincare regiment. And now my nighttime skincare routine pretty much always starts with a cleansing oil.

Keep reading to take a closer look at this particular cleansing oil.

Okay, I feel a little bit like this blog into turning into an Ode To New Crap I'm Going To Try... but I can't resist. In the future, every item in this haul will be reviewed. Well, maybe not the body scrub... because what can you say about a body scrub? Unless it blows my mind or makes my skin fall off, I'll probably skip it. 

Anyway... PACKAGES!!!!!!

I ordered this last Friday because the 40% off everything and the promise of free shipping once I got $50 worth of stuff felt like it was giving me permission to order a bunch of things I'd been wanting to try. So I did. I feel a little bit like I am the person that 40% off sales are designed to attract, because it feels like a license to shop to me.

ANYWAY... Keep reading to see what I picked up in closer detail and with descriptions from TheBodyShop.ca!
