Luxsio Sonic Brush Review

So let's start out here. I like the idea behind a Foreo. I've always wanted one and I hear the other beauty bloggers I follow absolutely rave about them. But I can't justify a $200 price tag. It was the same reason I never got a Clarisonic.

But the more I heard people raving about the Foreo I wanted to try it. But I still couldn't justify the price tag. So that is where Amazon comes in. When you search Foreo Dupes - there's a BUNCH. Now while I'll happily let you choose whichever one you'd want. I'm here to talk to you about the Luxsio Sonic Brush. Linked it here so you guys can purchase it if you so choose.

Now, none of these are direct comparisons to the Foreo as I haven't tried one. But this is just my feelings about

Price Point: $39.00 and comes with a 5% off coupon. The pink also comes in at $37.95. Now this is a price point I can get behind. It gave me a chance to try it without breaking the bank.

Shape: I actually prefer the shape of this one over the Foreo. The tip allows for me to get closer to my nose and make sure that everything is as clean as possible.

Charging: I've been using this for about a month now and thankfully I haven't had to charge this at all. The charging for this seems to be

Overall Use: The one thing I have to say that I don't love about this versus the Foreo, is that there doesn't seem to be a timing function on here. It just vibrates steadily for a while. The other thing that I have noticed is that certain soaps don't suds the way that I personally would want them to when washing my face. I've noticed that the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel has been the best one for me and washes my face the way that I want it every time.

Would I recommend?: Yes. After every use my skin feels baby smooth and for someone who has been lucky to have fairly clear skin, I think it looks brighter.

Recent Reads: February 2020

Hi Guys -

Welcome back to recent reads. I know I've been a little distant over the past couple of weeks on here because I was studying for the LSATs but figured I'd get back in one of my favorite things! As I mentioned, I was taking the LSATs on 2/22, so I didn't do as much reading this month. If you guys are interested in hearing my feelings on the LSATs let me know.

Just as a reminder, here is the star scale that I go by.

5 Stars: I absolutely loved it
4 Stars: I really liked it
3 Stars: I liked it
2 Stars: It was okay
1 Star: I disliked it

5 Stars

• Lock Every Door - Riley Sager. This books was recommended to me by @booksandlala on YouTube. I am always looking for a thriller and this one really hit the spot. I actually finished it in 2 days it was so good. The one thing I have to say I liked about this thriller was that it actually surprised me. A lot of thrillers don't necessarily keep you guessing until the end  (you can usually figure it out somewhere along the way) and this one absolutely did not. So Jules is dead broke (welcome to NYC, where we're all semi broke) and she sees an ad for a house sitter in an Upper West Side Apartment. But when she gets there she finds out that there are a ton of rules, No visitors. No nights spent away from the apartment. No disturbing the other residents, all of whom are rich or famous or both. But Jules meets Ingrid, one of the other house sitters. And then the next day Ingrid is missing. It's a gripping story that kept me intrigued until the very last page

4 Stars

• The Broken Girls - Simone St. James. This one was weird, it was a thriller, but was also paranormal, but also told in more than one timeframe. Fiona's sister was found murdered on the ground of Idelwild Hall. And now they want to rebuild it. You also hear from a group of 4 students who are currently students at Idelwild in the early 1950s. I really enjoyed this book, but it wasn't quite a 5 star for me. 

3 Stars 

• The Other Mrs. Miller - Phoebe Miller is a recluse. She isn't happy with herself, or her life and spends her days looking at the car that consistently sits on her block. But that all changes when a new family moves in across the street. And she becomes more focused on the new family, and not the car that sits on her block. I liked this book, but it wasn't the page turner that the other two were for me. I liked it, but I don't expect that I'd recommend it to anyone. 

I didn't have any 2 star books or 1 star books. I did have one book that I decided not to finish, and that is called the Andalucian Friend. It was a book that based on the description (The Sopranos meets The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) I thought I was going to love. I tried both the physical book and the audio and I just couldn't do it.

Looking forward to hopefully getting a chance to read a bit more in March (I have like 5 I've started).

Love from NYC!
