REVIEW: Michael Todd True Organics

I was lucky enough to try some major components of the Michael Todd True Organics skincare line.  A cleaners, a toner, a scrub, a mask and a serum. Waiting on their arrival, I did my due diligence as a beauty conscious woman on not only the brand, but the ingredient and what others are saying about Michael Todd True Organics. The days it took in transit  was more than enough time for me to determine that this was one of those skincare lines you don’t pass up on.

I took many things into consideration when it came deciding if this product was a keeper before I even tried it:
1. Cost; was it affordable enough to use this year round
2. Ingredient; was a good portion, if not all, organic
3. Reviews; did people have good things to say about it, were their any celebrities who admit to using the product
4. Customer Service; did I have a good experience when dealing with their customer service

The product arrived and I couldn’t be more excited. All the research I had done panned on the positive side, so as long as I didn’t break out in an uncontrollable rash, or have a post breakout resembling horrible weeks from high school, Michael Todd would win my heart.

Day 1 was an eye-opener. I am almost embarrassed to say it, but I wonder how clean my skin was actually getting in the past, because not only did my face look fresh, but the feeling was like no other. I don’t want to bad mouth the product in which currently sits in our trash can, but the difference I felt when running my hands over my freshly washed face was incredible. Was my face never actually cleaned before? The best way to describe it is, my skin felt pure, like as if their was absolutely nothing on it, you don’t know this until you have cleaned with something that obviously does it’s job well. But the comparison is beyond noticeable. After a good cleanse with the Honey and Oat Cleaner, I used the Blue Green Algae Toner; and to my surprise it was nor blue or green. After using the toner, my face felt the best it ever has in its rawest state. Day 1 I finished off with the Knu anti-aging serum, I now know what it’s backed up by so many big name celebs. This should really be called liquid gold. After using the 3 pieces from Michael Todd True Organics, I called it a night.

Day 2 and 3 I was actually in the woods, glamping, and enjoying family time {see here}. Luckily this camping trip had access to all of life’s little luxuries, like a fully loaded kitchen, a hot tub,  a bedroom, and a bathroom with a sink and running water. I continued with my same routine as explained in Day 1. It wasn’t until Day 4 that I tried out the Kaolin “Detoxing” Clay Mask. Timing couldn’t have been any better,  considering all the sweets I inhaled over the course of 48 hours when calories didn’t count.

Day 4 I was actually really very nervous about trying the Kaolin “Detoxing” Clay Mask. Not because I was worried about how my face would react with a first time detox, but simply the fear of failure. With how much success I was having with the other products in the Michael Todd line, I feared great success was going to soon end? Yes lovelies I can be a pessimist sometimes. I put the mask on just after putting Sofia Marie down for the night, and just before the man got home from the night shift. It was the perfect time to force some relaxation from the busy day, just before curling up into bed. The mask hindered me from smiling, giggling, and defiantly carrying on a conversation of any sort, so it was a good thing I was alone. It firmed right up, and felt as if it was tightening up my face. It was really quite an awesome feeling; I must admit. I left it on for the 15 minutes it had suggested, and headed to the ensuite for the reveal. The wash off?! Well it was luxurious to say the least. Leaving silky smooth skin that felt rejuvenated, baby smooth, like silk; it’s really the best way I can describe it. Success!

Now I won’t lie, as it’s not my style, I’ve yet to try the scrub, due to simply being a mom and wishing their were more time in the day, but after batting success with 4 out of the 5, I am pretty positive it’s going to be better than I have ever expected. Curious to know why I have the 5 pieces that I do, well after speaking with a Michael Todd Customer Service agent I explained my skin type was a combination, with tendency to be dry and sensitive and she suggested all the products I am using today. Here are some more details on each of the items I am now calling my forever-skin-team:

I speak of the truth in all that I have said, I truly believe that Michael Todd True Organics is an incredible skincare line and I cannot wait to try more of what they have. My wish list has already started to compile.  Those of you that know me personally, and those of you who know me strictly as a blogging voice know I stand behind my reviews whole-heartedly, and I am a true believe that “if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all”. Those products I have tried, tasted, or worn that I don’t personally love, I just don’t post about. It’s really that simple.
