Hi friends, MB here! Time to talk SKINCARE ⭑
For the past few years, the extent of my skincare routine has simply been removing my makeup, washing my face & applying lotion. All with drugstore products. While I'm not denying that there are great drugstore skincare products out there that work great for some people, I felt like it was time to step my game up and really invest in my skin.
You only get ONE face and NOW is the time to really take care of it.
I’m excited to create more blog posts for you guys in the future about whatever it is you’re wanting to know about skincare or Tula specifically! Comment below or DM me on Insta @mbthill if there’s any specific blog posts you’d love to see from me 💕 This post is all about my initial reactions to the 5 Tula products I’ve been testing for the past 2 weeks.

THE PRODUCTS I DECIDED TO TEST FIRST
- try them out with me -
MY SKIN TYPE
Combination Skin & Sensitive Skin: Oily t-zone with normal to dry cheeks.
With that being said, I have not had any weird reactions to any of these products during the 2 weeks of me using them! I've been very impressed so far!
MY FIRST THOUGHTS ON THE 5 PRODUCTS I'VE BEEN TESTING OUT
* I've been using most these products every day for 2 weeks now - Some don't require use every day*
1. The Triple Vitamin C Serum - Brightening Treatment Drops
The applicator: I LOVE the dropper tool. It allows you to drop just the right amount of serum on your skin in the exact areas you want it. Plus I've never had a skincare product with an applicator like this, so it's just fun to use in my opinion - Makes it seem fancy haha
How I use it: Onto a dry & clean face, I apply a drop on my forehead & a drop on both cheeks, then massage it in. Any leftover product I rub onto my neck. You can use this AM & PM, but I've only been using it at night before my moisturizer.
My first thoughts: The serum is light & cooling as you massage it onto your skin. Once massaged in, the serum is a bit sticky just for about 20 seconds while it's soaking into your skin & then once it's dry it leaves my skin feeling hydrated & smooth. I love it so far!
Over a bit of time I will report back on whether or not I've noticed: this product leaving my skin looking more radiant, reducing the look of dark spots, evening the appearance of my skin tone, etc.
2. The Clear It Up - Acne Clearing & Tone Correcting Gel
How I use it: Onto a dry & clean face, I apply a thin layer (sometimes a thicker layer depending on the size of the blemish) to the areas needed. You can do this 1-2x a day. I do it at night after I cleanse my face.
My first thoughts: After using this gel a few times on different blemishes I've had, I've learned that the gel continues working it's magic even after you think it would be done! I put this on before bed and by the time I wake up the blemish will have shrunk significantly. I really notice a big difference that night (24 hrs after applying) that the spot I applied the gel to has completely dried up the blemish. The only downside is that the gel leaves a dry patch on your skin for a little bit while it's healing. But I'd rather have a small dry patch that I can moisturize than having a pimple. This stuff works WONDERS!
3. The Rose Glow & Get It - Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm
How I use it: I apply the eye balm directly to my under eye area. I use this in the morning before I put on my makeup and at night after I put my moisturizer on. Even if you need an instant pick-me-up throughout the day, you can apply this eye balm directly over your makeup! I tested this out and *disclaimer* I don't use concealer under my eyes, so I can't speak to that. But if you just have foundation on, you can apply the eye balm over the top and it's won't mess your makeup up!
My first thoughts: The first time I applied the eye balm to my under eyes I couldn't tell if what I was feeling was a cooling sensation or burning sensation. I have sensitive skin, so I think it just took a few minutes for me to get use to it. BECAUSE YOU GUYS! I AM HOOKED ON THIS STUFF! The hype is real. 10/10 recommend. The cooling sensation & AMAZING GLOW it gives your under eyes is UNREAL!
Over a bit of time I will report back on whether or not I've noticed: this product leaving my under eyes looking less puffy, feeling more revived & awake, looking more even-toned & radiant, and if it's helping to decrease my dark circles.
4. The Detox In A Jar - Exfoliating Treatment Mask
How I use it: Onto a dry & clean face, I apply a layer to my entire face. After waiting the full 10 minutes to really let the mask work it's magic, I remove it with warm water while massaging in a circular motion to exfoliate. You can use this 1-2x per week. I only do it once a week!
My first thoughts: After using the mask once, I noticed right away that my skin felt smoother and my pores appeared smaller. After a coupe days my pores went back to looking how they usually do. I'm hoping once I regularly use this mask for awhile that it will have lasting results of keeping my pores looking smaller for longer.
Over a bit of time I will report back on whether or not I've noticed: this product leaving my pores smaller, my skin looking less dull & more radiant and my skin more looking more balanced.
5. The Cult Classic - Purifying Face Cleanser
How I use it: Massage onto wet skin & rinse with water. I keep this cleanser in my shower, so on days I'm wearing makeup I use it to remove that & on days I'm not wearing makeup I use it to wash my face still. You can use this cleanser AM & PM.
My first thoughts: *Not a fan of the smell* However, I have been very impressed with the results. It removes my makeup very well. When I wipe my face with micellar water on a cotton pad after my shower, there isn't much makeup left at all to remove. So that's great! When I'm not wearing makeup and I wash my face with this cleanser, it definitely leaves my skin feeling fresh and smooth. As of now, it doesn't seem much different than the Neutrogena face cleaner I was using before.
Over a bit of time I will report back on whether or not I've noticed: this product benefiting my skin more than the Neutrogena cleanser (if not, then I will make the switch back or try out a different drugstore cleanser)
