Mario Badescu…Simple, Gentle & Effective Skin Care.

Hello my Lovelies,

I was recently gifted a skincare set from Mario Badescu and I was excited to try it out and give you guys my honest review of the set.  Before I do that I wanted to tell you a little about the brand if you don’t know already.  Mario Bedascu’s story started over 50 years ago when he decided he wanted to create a brand that was “Simple, Gentle & Effective Skin Care”  They celebrated their 50 year anniversary in 2017 and the celebration continues.  The brand started in his Manhattan apartment turned studio and been flourishing since then.

The brands philosophy is “Simple, Gentle & Effective Skin Care” I have had the pleasure of trying out just a few products long enough to form an opinion.  First, here are the products I was gifted…

ROSE HAND CREAM– This hand cream smells and feels amazing…off the website this is “Infused with Rose and enriched with Vitamin E. [Rose Hand Cream] retails for $8

FRUIT & VITAMIN A HAND CREAM– this is a rejuvenating hand cream…off the website “Infused with alpha-hydroxy acids, enriched with Vitamin A Oil and Orange Peel Wax to nourish, soften, and smooth skin, infused with Lemon Extract to help diminish the look of age spots and discoloration.

WITCH HAZEL & ROSEWATER TONER– off the website…”Restore clarity and radiance to skin after every cleanse. This Rose and Witch Hazel toner boasts natural astringent properties that ensure surface impurities are removed without stripping the skin.

Formulated with Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, and antioxidant Vitamin E, our ultra-rich balm melts into the skin to replenish and renew lips. Lips are left feeling soft, smooth, and supple. [Lip Balm] retails for $8

FACIAL SPRAY TRIO–

Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater, a Rose facial spray that re-energizes dehydrated skin with a dewy glow.

I forgot to mention the cute little bag it came with as well…

I was definitely excited to try out these products.  I had heard about the brand but not enough to make me go out and purchase. (side note, I was gifted these products by Karrueche Tran) and she gave me the perfect opportunity to try them out. So thank you for that mamas <3

I started using these products a little over 2 weeks ago. I fell in love with the Rose Hand Cream.  OMG!!! The smell of this product is amazing.  If you love the smell of roses you will love it. The cream made my hands feel soft without a greasy feeling.  All of these products had amazing effects on my skin.  My hands felt noticeably softer, my facial skin looked brighter & clearer. I literally carry and use the Lip Balm & Rose Hand Cream everyday. When I am getting ready for the day I love to use the Witch Hazel & Rose Water Toner and to spritz the Rose Water Facial spray after my makeup application.

What I also liked about the brand is that you can take a quiz and get a FREE skin analysis done and purchase your products based on your results. They have a large arrangement of products (So there’s something for everyone) all with nice light smells. They currently have a President’s Day sale going on that you can take advantage of.

I hope you found this post helpful & resourceful.
