WISHFUL TURNS 2 & WE’RE DOING A HUGE GIVEAWAY!!!

OMG!!! WISHFUL IS 2 YEARS OLD!!!! I can't believe it's been 2 YEARS since we launched and our baby, Wishful Yo Glow! Literally, the best scrub that I have used and spent YEARS making 🎉 After years of struggling with my skin, launching a skincare line was such a dream for me to share with all of you who may have also struggled to find something simple gentle and effective! Creating a line that was SUPER gentle, wouldn’t break me out (since almost everything does) and actually make my skin improve in texture and appearance took years to develop, but I’m so happy that so many of you tell us how much Wishful has changed your lives and made you feel more confident in your own skin, whether it’s from using our products or just in appreciation of our stance on showing real skin and not using makeup, photoshop and filters in our ads! NO Photoshopping, NO filters, just real results on REAL SKIN. It’s been incredible to build this community together and I love you guys SOOO much!!! You guys are the reason we created this line, after telling us everything you wanted from a skincare line, reading all of our skincare posts on my blog over the past 12 years (believe it or not, we post more about skin than makeup), I am so grateful seeing you guys post all your love and results from using Wishful! #YoGlow is my holy grail exfoliator! I use this literally almost every day! It was created for all skin types to help clear impurities and give you an EXTREME glow. I want to say a HUGE thank you for always supporting Wishful, for sharing your reviews, tagging us in your posts, and for shouting about us EVERYWHERE.
