Product Review: Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Serum


I received a sample of Juice Beauty's Blemish Clearing Serum in my February Birchbox and decided to give it a try. As I've previously mentioned I'm not wearing as much makeup as I normally would and when I do I'm going for very natural faces. Clear skin and blemish control is the foundation for a flawless face if you ask me, therefore I've been focusing a lot on skincare.

I wash my face daily with Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash, follow with the blemish control serum and then moisturize with my Olay moisturizer with SPF. After on 3 days I noticed that the few blemishes I had cleared up. Bumps went away, as well as dark spots. I was completely sold. So I continued to use it every day until my little sample ran out.

Once my sample ran out I was freaking out to say the least and noticed that in about 3 days small blemishes started to surface again. It was at that point I knew I would have to break my tight budget and spend the $29 for the full size bottle.

My March Birchbox

My March Birchbox arrived and I was very hesitant to open it. I was more than underwhelmed by my previous 2 boxes and subsequently told myself that if my third box wasn't to my liking that I would cancel my subscription. I think the beauty gods heard my $10/month cry.


Eureka! A Birchbox with some things that I might use! As I have been grappling with what to do with my hair (change color, cut, keep long, tracks or no tracks) I'm glad that majority of my box has hair care items.

Box Components:
  • Annick Coutal | Eau d'Hardrien (fragrance)
  • Color Club | Nail Lacquer in Age of Aquarius
  • I Coloniali | Invigorating Tibetan Shower Cream with Rhubarb
  • Miss Jessie's Origninal | Curly Meringue
  • WEI | Pomegranate Buffing Beads
Extra Items:
  • Miss Jessie's Original | Creme de la Creme Conditioner
  • Miss Jessie's Original | Super Slip Sudsy Shampoo

So far I have tried the nail polish and it's a very fun color as we transition into spring and summer. As with previous boxes I despise the fragrance sample. This one smells like something that should be provided at a nursing home. Not to my liking at all.

Can't wait to try the other products and let you know what I think!
