Mocha Loca

It's really cold here in LA right now (yeah, yeah, I know, I'm ridiculous) but the drop in temperature really has made me crave hot cocoa.  As I was sipping my chocolatey goodness tonight I realized I had never blogged about one of my fave face peels (which just so happens to be chocolate) Mocha Loca by Sircuit Skin.  It's definitely pricey at $75.00 but it is so incredible!  First of all, the smell (absolute chocolate perfection) will make you think you're going to get fat and as soon as you smooth it on your face you are uplifted.  This acid peel is surprisingly gentle and definitely effective.  Every time I use it my skin feels smooth and looks healthy.  This is a definite must-have and with the holidays right around the corner I don't see why you couldn't ask Santa for it, right?  I mean, he's not going to look at a pricetag anyway.

Fab Skincare Line

I've always been a skincare junkie of sorts - willing to try anything and everything on my face (sometimes to horrifying results, mind you) so when I read about Sircuit Skin Cosmeceuticals I had to check out their stuff.  With products such as x-trap, o.m.g, mocha loca and i.cee u. I thought - this is one cool line, I wonder if their products are as great as they sound.  I tried the 7 Essentials Collection which contains some of their best-selling products - x-trap (amazing daily gentle face wash which smells deliciously fruity), molecular mist (a refreshing face mist), white out (daily eye cream with the cutest name and great results), day care (a moisturizing daily lotion which protects from UV rays), Sircuit Addict (a no-nonsense anti-aging serum), cloud 9 (a thick, but non-greasy, night cream which packs a moisturizing punch) and my personal fave of the bunch - Sir Activ (zeolite invigorating scrub which smells fantastic and leaves skin feeling delightfully smooth).  While Sircuit is a bit pricey, each product lasts a while because the formulas are so concentrated you only need a bit.  There are some definite stand-outs in the Essentials Collection that I would recommend to anyone (X-Trap and Sir Activ are products I will definitely use over and over again).  X-Trap is a very mild, non-drying gel cleanser that contains shea butter so your skin is left clean but actually hydrated (my sensitive skin thanks Sircuit for this).  Sir Activ is a deep-cleaning scrub that contains jojoba beads and zeolites (silicates from volcanoes - how exciting, right?) which smells deliciously of apple and cranberry.  Sircuit Skin is chemical free (no parabens, fillers, artificial colors, etc), cruelty free and is a truly "green" brand right here in Los Angeles.  This line is definitely worth checking out, especially if you're willing to spend a bit extra on superior skincare products that really are fab.
