First things first: Hannah C. was the winner of the butterLONDON Shout Out Loud Makeup Collection giveaway! Congratulations, Hannah! I’ve emailed her and hope to hear back from her soon. So thank you to all who participated and today, I’m announcing another giveaway. Keep reading for the details on the new Coui Skincare giveaway as well as on a product coupon code! 😀 😎 💡
Coui Skincare
Coui Super C Serum is the vitamin C serum I use most often. I’ve been using it for almost two years. It’s just the right viscosity for my dry skin, it’s great quality, affordable, and it helped lighten my dark spots. Because I love Coui Super C Serum, I was happy to have the opportunity to try more facial skincare products from Coui Skincare. Check out Coui Skincare by visiting their website, their Facebook page, and by following them on Twitter @couiskincare and be among the first to find out about new products and special promotions. The folks at Coui Skincare were kind enough to give me a 15% discount code to share with my readers that is good for use on any Coui Skincare products until 8/31/2015: HOS65PYO Just enter the code at checkout. I believe it can be used on Amazon as well as on their website.
Coui Skincare Nourishing Cleansing Oil
Nourishing Cleansing Oil is new from Coui. Although I’m a fan of using argan oil and rosehip oil on my face at night instead of moisturizer from time to time, I had never used cleansing oil. Now, I apply a few drops of Coui Cleansing Oil in the palm of my hand, mix with a few drops of water so it becomes creamy. I massage it onto my face, and it removes my makeup as it cleanses my skin. After rinsing, my face feels and is clean but not tight or stripped. I’ve been using another strong acid facial cleanser lately, and my skin was feeling a little dry and sore. It feels soooo good to use Coui Nourishing Cleansing Oil to soothe as well as cleanse my skin. Plus, I love that it saves me the extra step of having to remove my makeup before cleansing at night. Yay!
Coui Nourishing Cleansing Oil contains so many lovely oils and other goodies: Castor Seed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Pomegranate Seed Oil, Rosehip Seed Oil, Vitamin D, and antioxidants. It has no alcohol or harsh surfactants. It works for all skin types from sensitive, dry to oily by using oils to maintain skin’s natural balance. The brown glass pump bottle contains 2 fl. oz/60 ml. It’s priced at $19.95 and sold on Amazon. Have you tried cleansing oil yet? You should!
I never used to “bother” with toner, but over the past year, I’ve gotten into it! Toner confirms for me that my skin is clean, and it helps my skin get ready for the serum and moisturizer. It also minimizes pores, refreshes, tones and tightens. It’s anti-inflammatory.
New Coui Ocean Toner is a combination of the goodness of rosewater and skin-loving ingredients from the sea. And the scent smells like a combination of the two. I can smell the roses but also the minerality of the ocean. Alcohol-free, Ocean Toner is a simple combination of 5 ingredients: rosewater, sea kelp, witch hazel, aloe vera, and a moisturizing glycol.
It comes in a sleek, silver metal spray bottle. I can’t stand spraying anything directly on my face (though you may love the refreshing spray) so I spray it on a cotton pad and pat it on my skin. My skin feels smooth and fresh and ready for the next step.
Ocean Toner, 4 fl. oz., is sold on Amazon for $22.95.
Coui Skincare UV Facial Sunscreen SPF 30 and GIVEAWAY!
Coui UV Facial Sunscreen SPF 30 is a wonder among full spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreens. It does not give me white face. It is not greasy. It is truly lightweight. I can wear it under makeup because it is invisible and just about weightless. It contains vitamins and antioxidants. It’s suitable for all skin types including oily skin. And it’s fragrance-free which I think is great for a facial sunscreen. I just love this stuff!
The plastic squeeze tube contains 4 fl. oz., and is sold on Amazon and on the Coui website for $25.95.
Coui Skincare sent me an extra tube of UV Facial Sunscreen SPF 30. Because Skin Cancer Awareness Month just ended and we’re at the start of summer, I’d like to give it away to one of my readers. I’m going to use the Rafflecopter because it’s easier to keep track of the entries. This is a fabulous sunscreen. Definitely enter to win this so you’ll be all set for summer!
BTW, Coui Skincare is made in the US and is not tested on animals.

I want to win because I could use some new sunscreen! 🙂
Great reason, Shandi! Thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
I want to win because I have Lupus and it is so very important for me to protect myself from the sun.
Happy to hear from you, Robin! I hope you’re feeling OK. This is a wonderful facial sunscreen because it’s lightweight and not greasy. Thank you for entering the giveaway and Good luck 🙂
I love me a good cleansing oil! Looking at the ingredients, I think this one is fabulous <3
I really like it, Anastasia! It makes my skin feel so soft and smooth and nourished 🙂
Allison since I have oilier skin, do you think a cleansing oil would still be beneficial, or would it overdo it and leave me even slicker? Not sure how my skin would react to it…
They say that oily skin can use cleansing oil because instead of making the skin oilier it restores the proper balance. Unfortunately, I don’t know the science behind that claim (I probably should!), but I have heard it from so many different sources that I believe it. 😉
That cleansing oil sounds so great! I love reading your facial reviews because I think you have similar skin to me, so I always know I can trust your reviews!
Jessica recently posted…ReSwatch Wednesday: Above the Curve Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey
Thanks for saying that, Jessica! The cleansing oil is so soothing, it’s a pleasure to use!
I’m not familiar with this brand, but after reading your review I definitely want to try some of their products. They sound amazing.
Cindy Ingalls recently posted…Review: Vita Liberata Self Tanning Night Moisture Mask
I’m a long time Super C Serum user, and I’m enjoying these new products too. The facial sunscreen is great!
Never heard of this brand before! But I’m super intrigued!!! I’ll have to give them a try (and hopefully that will be by winning your giveaway. 🙂 )
Anne recently posted…Savvy Naturalista Review and Swatches
Glad you entered, Anne! I think Coui is a really good brand, great quality at an affordable price. And I love this sunscreen!
I have never heard of this line before, Allison! You definitely make me want to try it, and that cleansing oil sounds AMAZING! Excellent review, as always!
Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog recently posted…SHU UEMURA Art of Hair Cleansing Oil Shampoo | Review
Thank you, Helen. I’ve been using their Super C Serum for a long time, and I really like it. The cleansing oil is quite wonderful. I am usually a sunscreen hater though I force myself to use it, but I really like this one because it is so lightweight and doesn’t give me whiteface.
I’m always looking for a facial sunscreen that doesn’t irritate my eyes.
This one doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes, Heather. In fact, I never even thought about it so it must be good that way. I love how lightweight it is. Thank you for entering and good luck!
I actually love spraying products on my face, so I think I would love that Toner. Also, that SPF sounds great, I usually skip it (i know, bad girl) because it make my makeup look gross.
Kristina Vieweg recently posted…New Love: The Body Shop Honey Bronze Makeup
I hear ya on the sunscreen, Kristina. This one really sinks in/dries down so I don’t mind using it. I don’t know why I have that reaction. I have Evian Spray which I love but it is so aversive for me to spray it in my face, lol
I’m SO bad about using sunscreen on my face. I’m also still terrified of trying facial oils!
Kat Dinges recently posted…Revlon Parfumerie: Autumn Spice & Wild Violets
You have to do what you’re comfortable with, Kat! I hear ya on using sunscreen on your face. I’ve found two so far this season that I’ve had good luck with. This was my first time using cleansing oil (I have dry skin), and everything I’ve read says that even those with oily skin can benefit from using it because it doesn’t add oil, it balances the oil and somehow helps your skin cut down on oil production. but it does sound a bit like magic
I want to protect my skin as much as possible and I love products made in the US!
Very smart, LaTanya! Thanks for entering and good luck!
I need to win that sunscreen because I live in Florida and it’s HOTT! Hehe.
It sure is! Thanks for entering, Leigh, and good luck 🙂
I had never heard of this brand before, but that cleansing oil sounds really good.
gio recently posted…Product Review: Impulse Rock & Love Amber & Orange Blossom
It was my first time using a cleansing oil, and it is so hydrating and soothing. And I love it as a multitasker too!
I’m very interested in that cleansing oil!
BeautyJudy recently posted…Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Creme Concentrate in Grandma
The cleansing oil is a lovely, soothing, multi-tasker!
The ocean toner has me really intrigued! I really need to try toners and cleansing oils! <3
I’m glad that I tried these two new products. So great to experiment!
We go through a lot of sunscreen since we live in Florida and this one sounds like a good one being non-greasy and having UVA/UVB protection.
It is a good one, Susan. It was designed for the face, but you could use it however you like! thanks for entering and good luck 🙂
That Nourishing Cleansing Oil sounds like something I should try!
Thank you for the great giveaway!
Leelo R recently posted…Kübarad, glamuur ja Eesti “koorekiht”
I’m so glad I finally tried it. I was so curious about cleansing oil, and it’s such a soothing multitasker
Amazing giveaway – Thanks so much for the great review & chance!
You are welcome, Jess 🙂
The cleansing oil sounds great- especially for someone with sensitive skin like me. Thanks for the giveaway.
Aleya Bamdad recently posted…Cover Girl Super Sizer Review
You are welcome, Aleya. The cleansing oil is so soothing to my sensitive skin.
I’m obsessed with cleansing oils for my dry skin, so I’m sure I’d love this one.That toner sounds great too, I’m a fan of sprays because they feel so refreshing!
Julie recently posted…My Top Beauty Tips and Tricks! (Part One)
I’m glad you’re a cleansing oil fan. I thought I remember reading about them on your blog. I wish I could into spraying stuff in my face because even though it is refreshing I can’t stand it, lol!
These look awesome! The ingredients are soooo up my alley. Thanks for the discount and the fantastic giveaway, too!
Yes, the ingredients in COUI Skincare products are always focusing on natural and usually not too many 🙂
There are so many great skincare companies that I’ll never know them all. It has to be a great one if you’ve used them for 2 years!
You’re really right, Marcia. I was thinking about how many really good skincare products I’ve tried over the past couple of years. It is amazing. And yes, I am a fan of Coui Skincare Super C Serum 😉
I’d like to try the Coui sunscreen because I like the Vitamin C serum so much! And I’m always looking for a nice facial sunscreen (hate the greasy ones!).
Yay, another Super C Serum fan! This sunscreen really sinks in and the white color fades quickly as it sinks in. Thanks for entering, Kim, and good luck 🙂
I’d like to try the cleansing oil! I loooove cleansing oils.
I’m the cleansing oil newbie, Chelsea, but I like this one a lot! So soothing and so easy to remove my MU 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway!
What a great giveaway 🙂
Destany recently posted…What was in my May 2015 ipsy bag?
That sunscreen sounds fabulous: no white cast and it’s good for oily skin? Sign me up man!
The Coui Skincare Facial Sunscreen really is all that! love it 🙂
The cleansing oil sounds wonderful.
My first cleansing oil, and I love it! So soothing on my sensitive skin
You are always trying something new I haven’t heard of. Sounds good!
Hahaha, Laura, that’s because the well-known brands don’t send me stuff, lol! But I like indie brands and I’ve discovered some great products among the little known brands 🙂
I’ve never heard of this brand before, but it sounds nice. I love cleansing oils – even with my oily skin, they work really well.
Nidia – Lit From Within recently posted…LeliaSea Luxe Lotion
That’s what they say, the oils restore balance to oily skin. Coui Skincare started out with vitamin C serums and maybe an HA serum, but they’ve expanded and are introducing lots of new products. Their moisturizer is on its way to me, and I’m eager to check it out too. Great quality at affordable prices!
I’d like to win the Coui Skincare UV Facial Sunscreen SPF30 because it’s hard to find a good facial sunscreen and this one sounds like a winner.
I really think the Coui Skincare Facial Sunscreen is a winner. I try to use it just about everyday. Thanks for entering, Megan, and good luck! This is a quick giveaway, and I’m not promoting it widely so fingers crossed 🙂
YAY for the giveaway!! Everyone needs their SPF all year!
Brooke @ Blushing Noir recently posted…Zoya Island Fun Nail Polish Collection Swatches + Review
You said it, Brooke: sunscreen all year!
I am really bad about applying sunscreen so this would be a perfect product. I like that you described that it’s so lightweight and you can still wear it under your makeup!
Agata recently posted…Beauty Influencer’s Sunday Column Vol. 8: What’s your current morning and evening skincare routine?
I hope you entered, Agata. Coui Skincare UV Facial Sunscreen really is a good one!!
the oily cleanser sounds like my cup of tea!
NORAH recently posted…LOTD Cherry Blooms Instant Fiber Brow + Face Atelier Ultra Skin Foundation
That’s a cute way to put it, Norah 😉
these products sound great – I especially love cleansing oils, I think they are awesome.
I’m now a fan of cleansing oils too!
I love what toners do for my skin, and great giveaway! I always use at least SPF 30
Justina recently posted…Kiehl’s Iris Extract Activating Treatment Essence
You’re right. Toners are hidden gems!
I’m a total oil cleansing convert. Feels nice and takes off my makeup- I call that a win!
The zinc in the sunscreen formula ensures it’s not for me so I’ll sit this one out, but best of luck to everyone else! 😀
I’m with you, girlie. Easy peasy and soft skin!
Ooh, I’ve never heard of this brand, but it sounds great. I so want to try the toner!
The Coui Ocean Toner is very nice, and very attractive in its tall skinny metal spray bottle. 🙂
I have been considering using a different sunscreen specially made for faces — would like to try this product.
I think the difference is that this is more lightweight. It goes on with a bit of white but the white quickly disappears as you rub it in. It just seems like less work than most sunscreens I’ve used, Marilyn. I like it a lot!
Love your skin review about this brand!! Can’t wait to try it in the future!!
Ursula aka Blueridge
Coui Skincare is a good brand to know about: high quality skincare at affordable prices!
