In 2014 I attended the launch of Sorbet’s skincare line and the Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser caught my eye. I love gadgets and I finally treated myself to one 3 weeks ago. And I’m so glad I did.

Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser Review

I love facial cleansers. The Foreo Luna is spectacular, but I also like a brush with bristles. The other one I had (it has seen better days) had a rotating silicone brush head that I loved.

The Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser sports quite a few features that convinced me to buy it (it didn’t take much though) …

Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser Brushes

Now for the most important bit… the brush heads.

The cleanser comes with 3 brush heads (from left to right):

The Exfoliating Brush, the Sensitive Silicone Brush and the Daily Cleansing Brush.

I’m not sure who was in charge of deciding on the purpose of each brush, but I don’t agree with them at all.

I prefer to use the Sensitive Silicone Brush for every day cleansing. Daily cleansing with a brush can irritate your skin, so this one is most definitely the one for every day.

The Daily Cleansing Brush is way too harsh for use every day. I also find it to harsh for exfoliation. If you use the cleansing brush every day anyway, there is not much need for additional exfoliation. I threw mine in the bin.

The Exfoliating Brush is lovely and I use it once or twice a week to deep clean my pores. The bristles is cut to different lengths and even though they are very soft, they give a really good deep cleanse. You can also use this brush every day as it’s a lot gentler on your skin than the Daily Brush.

The best part about these brushes… replacements cost only R50!!

Another issue I have is the storage function of the stand. You can store two brush heads in the stand and that’s great, but one of them needs to be the silicone head. That doesn’t help me much as I use the silicone brush head most often.

The brush is very well priced at R330 and I don’t think you’ll get quality like this at a better price. I bought mine at Clicks just before their most recent beauty fair and I lost out on a 20% discount. Keep an eye out for their awesome sales!

This brush was one of my best buys in a long time!

Let me know if you tried the Sorbet Pore Your Heart Out Facial Cleanser. I’d love to know what you think!

Catrice Absolute Rose eyeshadow palette in Frankie Rose To Hollywood

‘Soft nudes and trendy rosé shades – sometimes matt and sometimes shimmering – create a beautiful natural look no matter whether they are used solo or as a team.’

Catrice Frankie Rose To Hollywood eye shadow palette review

I apologise for using the image from Catrice, but my photos just don’t do the shades justice. Plus I can’t take anymore pics as I have already hit pan on 2 of the shades.

I have been using this palette every day for 2 months. Every single day. The shades are truly gorgeous. The shadows are soft and buttery and look beautiful once applied.

Shades 1 and 2 are pretty decent highlighters. Shade 1 is more matte and shade 2 will give your inner corner some shimmer.

Shades 3 and 4 are stunning. Both are shimmery shades; enough to give you a beautiful look for night, but subtle enough for day. I use both over the whole lid before I add Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze. The combination of these shadows are my go to look for day and night. I have not reached for anything else for months. Sorry for the dust darling MAC and Bobbi.

Shade 5 is the perfect shade to fill my brows. I also use it every day.

The only shade that I don’t use is shade 6. Just because it is not my cup of tea. It still is lovely.

The only downer is the fact that the shadows can be a bit messy when brush hits shadow. Also the brush (but that’s not news). Will these negative points stop me from buying this palette? Hell no.

I adore this palette and I will most definitely be rushing to a Catrice stand soon.

Catrice Absolute Rose eyeshadow palette in Frankie Rose To Hollywood retails for R90.
