I wasn't able to get a hold of this product because I had a very disappointing experience that I wanted to share with you readers. This was supposed to arrive on the 3rd week of October but I only received a notice 6th of November which was the deadline for submission of reviews. When I went to the Postal Office in Alabang Market, I opened the package and found no YSL Parisienne inside. Instead I only got the CD(Media Kit) and the paper. I will be attaching the picture as soon as I get to squeeze it in my schedule within the week. This is very disappointing and I feel ashamed that true enough, stealing of packages are a reality here in the Philippines. This happens especially if your package has an enclosed imported item and is not registered. I just want to warn our fellow countrymen about their packages getting stolen. I highly suggest you to file a complaint to the Postmaster General or Director for Philippine Postal Office based on your assigned region.

Freeman Feeling Beautiful Apricot Facial Creamy Scrub

 

Freeman Feeling Beautiful Apricot Facial Creamy Scrub

 What makes you feel beautiful and renewed? An engaging story? Fresh cut flowers? Natural ingredients for clean, soft, smooth skin?

Made with natural, botanical ingredients, new Freeman Feeling Beautiful is a full range of skin and body care products to help you look and feel your best.

This cream facial scrub, enhanced with Apricot extract and Vitamins C and E gently removes rough, dry skin, for a smooth, even complexion.

To Use:
Massage gently onto damp skin. Rinse well.

My last diamond peeling session was 6 months ago and I feel that my skin needs a really good scrub that would be compatible to my oily sensitive skin. I used a pea size since it has a creamy texture and has really fine apricot grains and started working the scrub into my face. I rubbed the scrub in circular motions onto my damp skin and let it stay for 3 minutes the most. Then upon rinsing, I instantly felt my skin is softer, smoother 10 times! No exaggeration. This stuff really works for $3.99 USD, this is a steal. It works well and will probably lasts a long long time since you may only use it 2-3 times a week. I forgot to mention, this stuff smells so good, peachy sweet scent you will surely love. This is available in leading department stores, drugstores nationwide.
