A good, cheap cleanser

I seem to have lost track of a lot of my cosmetics while moving, including my Body Bistro face cleanser. So I've been using a bottle of Cetaphil that my boyfriend's ex-wife left behind (she's very nice, so there's no bad juju), but even though I like a mild cleanser, Cetaphil is so mild you couldn't hardly scrub the dust off a butterfly wing with the stuff.

So yesterday while I was at Whole Foods I spent $9.95 on a groovy sample pack of MyChelle cosmetics, with minis of every product the company makes. Having used it last night and this A.M., I'm enamored of their Fruit Enzyme Cleanser, which is just superbly lathery and fresh and cleans thoroughly despite being all natural and paraben free.  Deciding to buy some, I just got a really pleasant surprise to find that everything on their website is 30 percent off, which makes my fruit cleanser come out to a princely $5.50. You can't get a box of Handi-Wipes for $5.50!

The supreme polypeptide cream and blueberry antioxidant mask are also lovely, and if they were $5 bucks I'd buy them too.  As it is, I may have to try the cranberry cleanser, and honeydew cleanser. See, that's how I am, I'll buy five $5 products, but not the $20 product.

Me too! Variety of experience is a commodity, too.

I'm a sucker for those sample packs which is why I use some of their products now. The pumpkin mask is crazy powerful! Good stuff to be sure.
