You want to be a good sweetie or friend, and get something really nice for the woman (women!?) in your life – but sometimes gift ideas for women are hard to come up with! What will she like? What does she need? What’s personal, but not too personal? Jewelry, clothes, chocolate, cosmetics?
I know personally that I usually shy away from buying cosmetics or skin care products for anyone other than myself – we can be kind of particular that way, with varying skin types and brand preferences. But I’ve found something that I think will be a fantastic gift for any woman!
Mereadesso Woman One-Step Skincare
I’ve been using the luxurious Mereadesso Woman One-Step Skincare products for about a month now, and I love them! There are 3 products, and I’ve got some details about each one of them, so hang in here with me for a couple of minutes.
Basic product info from the Mereadesso Woman website:
A non-foaming all-in-one makeup remover, mask, scrub and toner that will even conquer waterproof mascara.
The globally sourced ingredient blend includes botanical extracts and vitamins. Effective as a deep cleanser but gentle enough for use around the eye area. After rinsing, your face will be free of residue and perfectly prepped for our Face + Neck Toning Gel. Comes with a specially designed cleansing cloth (to be used with cleanser every time) in a reusable plastic pouch that is great for holding everything from the cleanser to makeup brushes.
120 mL / 4 oz bottle lasts up to 5 months.
Mereadesso Face and Neck Toning Gel is a complete multi-vitamin, antioxidant and mineral supplement for the skin.
Sourced from around the world, there are 16 botanical extracts, 7 minerals, a complex of vitamins and enzymes and over 20 different antioxidants all combined in a light weight gel-lotion with easy application and quick absorption on the skin.
Many people experience a cooling and tightening sensation and it has a light refreshing citrus scent, mostly due to the many herbal extracts in this formula. It’s one-stop shopping for your face and neck.
A high performance, non-greasy, all over body balm, hand moisturizer and foot cream for men and women of all ages and skin types.
Beautiful Body Balm will bring out your inner glow, improve your skin’s texture and enhance elasticity – leaving your body with a smooth, silky finish. The sumptuous lotion spreads easily, absorbs quickly and won’t transfer onto your clothes, while the refreshing scent dissipates so as not to compete with your own signature fragrance. Blended with 8 vitamins and minerals, along with 28 globally sourced botanical extracts, it literally gives your body the world. Beautiful Body Balm is sublime after showers, babies, nips and tucks.
Apply to everything below the neckline – or anywhere your skin feels parched – to quench, soften, tone and refresh.
My Review
The first impression is always important, especially where gifts are concerned. Mereadesso Woman Skin Care does a great job of presenting their products well! The plastic pouch that the Face + Neck Cleanser comes in is very stylish. The bottles of Cleanser and Toner are also very sleek and classy. They look great sitting on the bathroom counter, and they take up very little space. I appreciated that there isn’t a lot of excess packaging – so there’s little waste.
I have quite sensitive skin, and I often have difficulty finding skin care products that don’t irritate my face. I was encouraged when reading the list of ingredients in the Mereadesso Woman products – I couldn’t see anything that I knew would bother me.
Clean face, neck and eyes, all in one step!
The Face + Neck Cleanser said that it is safe to use even on your eyes, and removes all make-up, even stubborn waterproof mascara, but I was skeptical. Anything that is tough enough to get all that off probably can’t be good for your eyes, I thought. But I was mistaken! No burning, no itching, no irritation for my eyes at all! In fact, the cleanser feels refreshing for both my face and my eyes. As for the waterproof mascara test – the cleanser doesn’t take it all off in one try, but a couple of applications and using the special cloth included with the cleanser does get the eyelashes clean.
The cleanser doesn’t foam or bubble, so part of me wondered if it was really cleaning my face. After using the cleanser and the special cloth, and then rinsing my face, I decided to try the “white cloth” test – using a plain white washcloth to wipe across my face and see if anything was left behind. The white cloth was white! And there was no residue – sticky, greasy, or otherwise – left from the cleanser. My face just felt clean! No redness, no irritation or itching on my face either! The cleanser even smells natural and clean, not medicine-ish.
Toner and moisturizer together in one – NICE!
The Face + Neck Toning Gel is a nice moisturizer that goes on smoothly and leaves the skin soft and bright – not oily or greasy, but not dull, either. The directions on the bottle say to apply a thin layer of the gel all over the face, including eyes, and the neck. I was a bit overzealous with the gel, and quickly learned that, REALLY, a little goes a long way. When I used too much gel, I would sometimes feel like there was a bit of a flaky film left. As soon as I cut back on the amount I was using (from 4 squirts down to 2 for my full face and neck) that filmy feeling went away entirely. I also find the gel very soothing for my eyes, and it leaves my face feeling tingly and fresh, as you would expect from a good quality toner. It has a very nice light fragrance that dissipates quickly.
The gel is a definite part of my night time routine now. I have found that my brand of foundation make-up (a whipped foundation that is quite thick and moist) doesn’t always go on over the gel very well. I think the foundation doesn’t stick to the gel sometimes. Because it is kind of “hit and miss” for me, I am thinking that it must be a result of operator error (too much gel, perhaps, or trying to put the foundation on too soon after applying the gel) or just that the products aren’t compatible. That hasn’t deterred my affinity for the Face + Neck Toning gel though. Even if I don’t use it on my whole face in the morning, I still use it on my eye area (the tingly feeling seems to make them feel more AWAKE to me), and then I use it everywhere at night. I like it a lot!
Lovely scent, easy to use, refreshing treat for hands and body!
The Beautiful Body Balm may be my favorite of these 3 products (and I like them all). The first time I put it on my hands and walked out of my bedroom, my youngest son met me in the hall and hugged me, saying, “Mom, I smelled that lotion all the way in the kitchen. Why does it have to smell so lovely?” (isn’t that so sweet!?) It DOES smell lovely! The smell is fresh and clean, even ‘delicious’ without being too sweet or fruity. It’s not at all overpowering, but is rather a nice refreshing smell that dissipates in a short time.
The Body Balm is a thick and rich body lotion that absorbs well into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. As the weather has turned cold, and the air has gotten drier, I’ve noticed that my hands haven’t been scaly and dry like they usually would be. I know it’s this nice body balm that is helping with that. Because it’s such a nice product and smells terrific, in a convenient dispenser bottle, it’s not hard to remember to keep putting it on as needed. It feels ‘luxurious’ when I put it on, like a little treat for my skin!
Minimizes packaging, maximizes value, optimizes style!
These 3 Mereadesso Woman Skincare products replace at least 7 other products – talk about reducing packaging and costs! The amount of cleanser, toning gel, and body balm supplied in these bottles is enough to last you for several months, making them a great value for that reason as well. It’s easy to tell that the products are made well, and the bottles are very stylish, in addition to providing good natural skin care that helps us as women to look more radiant and healthy.
On a personal note
I’ve noticed that my sometimes blemish-prone face has experienced fewer breakouts since using these products, and the ones I have had have been more localized and resolved more quickly than usual. The good, natural ingredients in the products are obviously doing their job! Even with sensitive skin, I have only had success with the Mereadesso Woman products!
As a gift, the Mereadesso Woman Skincare products are an excellent choice. What woman wouldn’t appreciate beauty products that can: *Produce a clean face, neck and eyes, all in one step; *Provide toner and moisturizer together in one cream; *Present a lovely scent, in an easy-to-use, refreshing treat for hands and body; and *Pamper her while minimizing packaging, maximizing value, and optimizing style!
