Officer, I'd like to report a crime. My nose has been officially assaulted, by Clean and Clear's Makeup Dissolving Foaming Cleanser. This level of fragrance in a product meant to go on the face? Just plain criminal.

Follow up:

Now, if you know me, you're well aware that I am Allergy Girl. I am allergic to all forms of dust, amongst other things, and that alone ensures Permanent Congestion (plus, I've got a stupidly high tolerance to allergy pills, so I don't bother with 'em as it's pointless). Given my Permanent Congestion, you may wonder how I know what this product smells like? All I can say is: it's that bloody strong. I got a whiff and went, "GAH! Holy bad perfume, bats!" The fact that I had the impulse to hurl the bottle across the room leads me to believe this should stay far away from sensitive noses.

That's not to say this is all bad. It's quite inexpensive (a mere $6 or $7 CAD at my local supermarket?), and comes out in a super awesome foam!

I love foaming products. You know when you go into a public washroom and they have foaming soap dispensers? I actually get excited. I'll go out to whomever I'm with and be like, "HEY! Did you know they have FOAM SOAP!?" Yep. So, this gets points from me for that, as the foam is lightweight and lovely. The pump top is easy to use, distributes a decent amount (this is three pumps shown in my sink) and, of course, hygienic.

I can't really tell you how this works on the skin. I won't put it on my face. Can't get past the smell. However, it says it's makeup dissolving. What does this make you think it's good for?

Foooooam! Man, my hand looks frigging red here!

Cleaning brushes! It does a lovely job of helping to pull out the colours marring the pretty white bristles of a number of my brushes. I used it on my permanently stained 239 (Sharp from MAC's Tempting quad really did a number on it!), and this helped to reduce the chartreuse hue the brushes gave off. It also did a very good job of restoring my less-severely-stained white-bristled brushes to their pristine glory.

Will I buy this again? Nope. I think the odour is completely obnoxious, and there are other methods I can use to whiten my bristles of my brushes. I do think it was worth a shot, though!

The bottle being purple makes it totally fit in with this week's theme. And in case you're wondering, I usually get the boyfriend to do the sniff-test of products for me!
