Product Review: Mac Volcanic Ash Exfoliator

So I had planned to pass up on the Future Earth Collection because there were many collections coming out close to each other. Future Earth was released with the Neo Sci-Fi and Solar Bits Collection. Emilee from Girl Meets Makeup suggested that I try it out and I've read some great reviews on it from Spectra. Unfortunately it's a limited edition product and it's out of stock from the Maccosmetics website. I suggest that you go to the website anyone and input your own zip code and it'll do a search of the nearest Mac counters that have it on stock near you.

So one of the reasons why I passed up on this is because I have a number of exfoliators already. I'm not even half way through my Mac microfine refinisher but because of the good reviews I tried it out. The directions are to use it 1-3x a week, gently massaging it on your face and avoiding the delicate skin around the eye area.

PROS: It's a great exfoliator because the warmth of your body melts the sugar which exfoliates the skin. So the exfoliator has its own 'time-limit' if you like to think about it that way. Although it does a great job at exfoliating it's surprisingly gentle! I heard that the volcanic ash helps with oil control too.

CONS: The packaging needs a bit of work on. You only need a little bit of the product and it would last a long time. So I wouldn't want to contaminate the product because it's a twist top jar.

OVERALL: I'm extremely glad that Emilee suggested I tried this product. I'm actually off to buy more from Mac counter right now!
