This week I'm obsessed with... Fenty Skin Pre-Show Glow!

You know the way your skin feels after a really good facial and how easily your makeup glides onto perfectly polished skin? That's exactly the same feeling you will get with... 

Fenty Skin Pre-Show Glow - 30ml + Reusable Applicator - $52, 30ml Refill - $42 - a powerful exfoliating treatment loaded with 10% AHAs - glycolic, citric and lactic acids - help fade the look of pores and dark spots and improve skin's moisture content; rooibos - rich in AHAs and zinc to help revitalize and renew the appearance of skin; pomegranate, papaya, and cranberry enzymes -  help to visibly digest, lift, and loosen damaged surface cells.  The reusable applicator delivers gentle physical exfoliation, leaving skin feeling ultra-soft, looking radiant, and makeup-ready - with no redness or irritation, so no downtime. 
 
I like to do a little research before actually trying new products to get an idea of what other people think and the most complaints seemed to be about the smell and the bottle size. For me, neither was a concern - it's described as a a light, fruity-floral scent inspired by pomegranate and hibiscus and that's exactly how it smells to me - not the least bit objectionable. As for anyone complaining about the size - they must be using too much - I have been using it twice a week for over a month now and I have barely made a dent in it! You really just need a very small amount on a wet applicator. All I can think is they were doing it with the applicator dry in which case you would need a lot to make it wet enough to use - so just remember, wet face, wet applicator, a little bit of product and scrub face for 30-60 seconds - rinse face and prepare to have your skin feel just like a baby's butt - follow with your serum/moisturizer and makeup and admire the glow!
