Let L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Oil-in-Serum help reset your skin while you sleep

October 4, 2021 Paris B 1 Comment

If there’s an award being given out for prettiest serum on your dresser, I think the L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Oil-in-Serum will win hands down!

I mean, look at it!

The beautiful gradient colour on the luxe glass bottle packaging is both eye-catching and pleasing to the eye. I do have a little gripe that the tactile texture of the cap and pump do not feel as luxurious as the bottle looks, but it is one I will overlook. A little more attention to that detail for future iterations might be nice 🙂

But we all know that there’s little use in a skincare product looking good, if it does not function as well as it claims, so it’s time to see just what is it it claims to do, and if it does it as well as it looks.

For long-lasting hydration, Antipodes Baptise H2O Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel is a superstar especially in warm weather

I once declared that Antipodes skincare can do no wrong in my eyes.

I’ve yet to find a product that has proven that statement wrong! OK granted, I wasn’t too big a fan of Halo mud mask, but it still was a decent product.

So, when Antipodes launched Baptise H2O Ultra-Hydrating Water Gel, I knew we were in for a treat!

I wasn’t too far wrong. But there are a couple of caveats 🙂

The new L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Triphase Essence is a lovely way to soothe irritated skin if used as suggested

I’m currently the most out-of-touch beauty blogger in the entire universe of beauty blogging. I’m still only starting to use products that were ‘newly launched’ a year ago, and I’m not even doing full-on routines for a while now. I think the whole pandemic has gotten to most of us in one way or another, hasn’t it? At least, that’s my excuse.

But recently, I was gifted with a new product, the L’Occitane Immortelle Reset Triphase Essence, and I was intrigued enough to slot it straight into my routine.

Incidentally, there was a lot of interest in this, when I shared about it on Instagram, so here it is 🙂 Incidentally, it’s one I suggest that you use as suggested, instead of being too clever about it and using it in a different manner, as I usually do 😛

When we’re ready to wear lip colour in public again, it’s going to be Chanel Rouge Coco Bloom

It’s been so long since I put a lipstick to my lips, I’d almost forgotten how it feels. The past 1.5 years of wearing a mask when out (and not wearing makeup when at home) has consigned most of my lipsticks to the bin.

And I had some really nice ones too!

Perhaps, as a hope of renewal in 2021, and not without a healthy dose of optimism, Chanel decided to launch a new range of lipsticks – Chanel Rouge Coco Bloom.

Promising a hydrating plumping formula and intense shine, these new lipsticks promise to be a treat on lips. And I do like them!
