Discovered At Marshalls | Skin Care and Hair Care Favorites

So about a month ago, I stumbled upon the beauty/hair/skin care section at Marshalls and am still dumbfounded how I didn't even know this part of the store existed... like seriously, where have I been?? I love Marshalls... I live at Marshalls!!

Not really.

But kind of.

Anyway, as I started scanning the products, there were some I have heard of before and some that I still have no clue what they do, but I decided that I was going to start giving my skin a little more TLC and picked up a few items to try. And the best part? Everything was under $10 each which is exactly why Marshalls is my go-to store for... practically everything.

Below are my product reviews for 5 of my favorite "Marshalls' Finds" that I have tried over the past few weeks and that have become a refreshing part of my daily routine. I can honestly say that I look forward to using these products every. single. day (and night). So if you are as intrigued with different beauty/skin/hair care products as I am... keep on reading. Let's begin...

1. Pearlessence Aloe + Charcoal Facial Cleanser

Ok so the whole "charcoal" fad freaked me out for a really long time. For some reason, putting charcoal or charcoal ingredients on my face was not very appealing to me. However, after doing some research on the benefits of using charcoal on my skin, I decided to give it a shot. I've never been one to wear facial masks. A, I haven't really tried one yet. B, I don't have the patience to let something dry and stick to my face and then spend more time peeling it off SO when I found this Aloe + Charcoal facial cleanser, I had to try it. And I am really glad I did. It definitely leaves my skin feeling soft and clean after applying and washing it off and prepares my face for product #2! AND it takes less than a minute to use... #perfect.

2. Pearlessence Argan + Vitamin E Facial Oil

This right here, is probably my #1 favorite product to use right now (but product #3 below is a VERY close 2nd). The secret benefits of argan oil have been publicized for quite some time now - which I guess doesn't make it a secret anymore - and similar to other fashion/beauty trends, I am always 20 steps behind. But this is definitely one product that I wish I had discovered back in high school many years ago (even though I barely wore any make-up or for that matter even cared about skin care at that time in my life). Anyway, I use this oil twice a day - once in the morning and once at night.

Morning Use - when a couple of drops are mixed with foundation, it makes the application so much smoother, is distributed more evenly and gives you a subtle luminous glow.

Nighttime Use - this is the second to last product I apply to my face before I go to sleep (the last product is #3 below). It goes on really oily but don't worry - once you massage it into your face and it dries, it leaves your face moisturized and soft.

And, the glass bottle packaging with the dropper tool is pretty cool too. #thelittlethings

3. Pearlessence Rose Water Hydrating Face Mist

Recently I have seen really great reviews for misting your face with rose water. If you want a product that primes/moisturizes your face, sets your makeup and refreshes your skin - try this product. Seriously. Not only does the spritz on your face feel extremely refreshing, but it leaves your skin feeling super hydrated and fresh. AND - you can't beat the subtle scent of rose petals as you apply. This is the last product that I use in the morning and at night because it leaves your skin ready to take on the day (or dreams). Highly recommended!

4. ArganiCare Coconut Shampoo

Ok, shifting gears here to hair care. For years and years and years, I have used Pantene Pro-V shampoo and conditioner. But recently, I felt like I needed a change. Do you ever wash your hair with a new product and you notice a difference? Like your hair is softer or smoother? But then after the next 10 times you use it you stop noticing the difference? That's how I started feeling recently with using the same shampoo and conditioner over and over again. So - a quick glance at a random good smelling shampoo with coconut on the label and I was sold! This stuff smells incredible (if coconut is your thing). To me, it doesn't smell extremely coconut-ty... I haven't been able to identify what exactly I am smelling but it might be some sort of spice mixed with coconut? I don't know. But it smells AMAZING. Highly recommend it if you are looking to try a new hair product.

5. Renpure Coconut Mint Conditioner

I purchased this at the same time as I purchased the ArganiCare Coconut Shampoo and you're probably wondering why I didn't get a matching shampoo and conditioner set and the answer to that is: I tried. At the time, they did not have the complementing shampoo or conditioner to either of these, so I decided to try two different products with one common ingredient: coconut. Honestly, I'm happy it worked out that way. The shampoo smells amazing in the shower and this conditioner smells amazing for the rest of the night. Basically anything coconut or mint, I'm all in. So when I saw a coconut AND mint product... it was a no-brainer. If you want a conditioner that you can smell for the rest of the night - this one is for you!

So there they are... my top 5 favorite Marshalls' finds so far. Everyone's skin type is different and what works for me may not work best for others. But if you have any skincare/haircare products that you use and enjoy - drop a comment below. Always looking for new products to try.
