30 Day Challenge Kit ($90 CAD)

I fail at most long-term challenges. I’ve never successfully completed a cleanse without cheating here and there and lost a lot of money buying those month-long yoga challenge things. But when one of my favourite brands, Consonant Body, challenged me with their 30 day initiative, I was in! No dieting, no impossible gym schedules. The deal is this: after 30 days, if you don’t think your skin looks and feels better, Consonant Body will happily issue a refund, no questions asked.

In my goody bag were the Ultra Moisturizing Organic Face Cream, Firming Eye Cream, Moisturizing Organic Eye Cream (extra add on) and Organic Foaming Face Wash. I started using them right away upon returning from my Turks & Caicos holiday. Usually, my skin freaks out from the first sign of a change in climate, so I thought it would be a great time to test a new product. And I’m crazy about their motto!

I have used the Organic Foaming Face Wash before (but in Citrus Bergamot) and already gave it a rave review. Again, to summarize, it’s gentle, yet powerful and leaves skin incredibly smooth. I’ve been using it since the last review but now I think I like the unscented version even better!

I admit I was a little scared of the cream since it contains a lot of ingredients that contain oil. As a person with (formerly) extremely oily skin, I’m always hesitant to try new products that contain oil. I don’t go completely oil-free but there is always an underlying fear when it comes to being a guinea pig. Rest assured, there were no problems with my skin whatsoever. The cream is smooth and non-greasy. In fact, it feels a little tight when you first apply it but after about five minutes, it absorbs nicely into the skin. I think I’ll keep it as a day moisturizer for dryer winter months. Same goes with the Moisturizing Organic Eye Cream. It leaves the eye area so irresistibly smooth.

The star of the line is the Firming Eye Cream which Consonant recommends you use as a day cream. It does the job that it promises: it firms! Definitely won’t be parting with this one any time in the future.

Overall, I was incredibly satisfied with the 30 day challenge. This is a great product! I just have a teeny tiny little wish: I wish there was an SPF option. Perhaps it’s the next step?
