Andalou Naturals Brightening Kit, Plus Lumunious Eye Serum Review!

On a trip to Grocery Outlet a little over a month ago I discovered they sold a few Andalou Naturals products. I had already purchased a few from Vitacost, but I felt the targeted line I chose wasn't the best for me, (see my old blog post). So, when I saw they sold the Brightening Kit for only $9.99 I jumped on the chance to try it.

The kit includes-Meyer Lemon Creamy Cleanser, Clementine + C Illuminating Toner, Probiotic + C Renewal Cream, Purple Carrot + C Luminous Night Cream and Pumpkin Honey Glycolic Mask.

The only thing NOT included in this kit was the Luminous Eye Serum, which I bought from Vitacost.

My thoughts?

Mini reviews on each product-

Meyer Lemon Creamy Cleanser (.8oz.) is just as the name implies, lemon scented and creamy. I feel like it does a great job of removing makeup and dirt and doesn't dry out my skin. That's a huge thing for me! My skin feels soft and hydrated after rising the cleanser off.

Clementine + C Illuminating Toner (1oz.) is a cool refreshing treat to my skin after cleansing. The smell reminds me of orange creamsicle, (which is a yummy scent in my opinion!). I simply use a cotton ball and rub it all over my face to help restore and balance my skin, and remove any other left overs that the cleanser might have missed. I usually use about 2-3 cotton balls on my face, but mostly because I just like how relaxing it is:) After toning my skin has a nice healthy glow to it.

(Day) Probiotic + C Renewal Cream (.4oz.) is super light, but gives a good amount of moisture. If you're skin is super dry this might not be as hydrating for you. But it works well for me. I feel like this also works great as a base for my makeup.

(Night) Purple Carrot + C Luminous Night Cream (.4oz) is very lush and rich. I feel like this is what a good night cream should feel like. It's not oily or greasy, just rich, soothing and hydrating. For those with very dry skin, this might actually be a good day cream too. My skin really soaks this in and looks so hydrated.

Luminous Eye Serum (.6oz) This is a full size of the product. It's light, cool and I feel a little tightening sensation as it soaks into my skin. I feel like it does a great just of keeping my under eye area moisturized and another great thing. The eye serum is marketed as part of the "Brightening" line, but I have not noticed any lightening of my dark circles. So, if you are only seeking out a product for under eye discoloration, this might not be the right serum for you. However, if you are looking for hydration and some tightening, I'd highly recommend it.

Well, frankly.......I LOVE it ALL! As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I have some hyperpigmentation that has been bugging me lately. I don't know if it's worse since Summer just ended, or if I'm just noticing it more now. Anyhow, within the first few days I noticed my complexion was clearer and looked more refreshed. I had some hyperpigmentation around my nose and under my eyes that looked dramatically lighter. I seriously could not believe how well it worked.....and it's from a natural company that is Non-GMO, gluten free and cruelty free:) All these things make me very happy.

So, if you have a Grocery Outlet in your area, be sure to stop in and see if they carry the Brightening Kit. For only $9.99, it's a great way to test all the products out without having to commit to the larger sizes:)

And, if you don't live near a Grocery Outlet, check out Vitacost and save $10 off your first order of $30 or more!
