Revisiting the Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil after 10 years!

September 13, 2019 Paris B 3 Comments

One of the first skincare items I’d ever tried from Bobbi Brown back in my early days of blogging, was a sample of their Cleansing Oil. I remember back then (10 years ago!), that I was quite happy with it.

It was a time when I was using cleansing oils, so I was quite familiar with comparing and contrasting the different cleansing oils in the market then.

When I recently received a bottle of the Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil, I was a little surprised. Why were they sending me this again, when it’s one of the Bobbi Brown skincare stalwarts? Was it a reminder?

Ah, as it turned out, the formula has been tweaked and upgraded. I don’t generally use cleansing oils anymore, preferring cleansing balms instead, but I was curious enough to have another go.

Trying the Dior Capture Youth Glow Booster Serum reminded me of the perils of being a beauty blogger

Some time last year, Dior released a range of serums that you could customize to your skin needs. It was reminiscent of the Bobbi Brown Remedies range, and was a luxury brand’s answer to the plethora of more affordable brands catering to a similar need for customization.

I recently had the opportunity to try one of the more interesting ones (to me), when I found a bottle of the Dior Capture Youth Glow Booster Age-Defying Illuminating Serum in an event goodie bag.

I like products that promise a glow and radiance, and when I saw that it contained Vitamin C, I was very intrigued. It was opportune that I had just finished the Vitamin C serum I was using, so I decided to put this to the test.

About 2.5 weeks in, I was reminded of the perils I face as a blogger, trying new skincare LOL!

Harvested from English Fields we welcome a return of the Jo Malone Poppy & Barley Cologne

September 3, 2019 Paris B 2 Comments

Last year, Jo Malone London released one of their most beautiful, most eye-catching Brit collections ever – English Fields.

Evoking the sights and smells of the English countryside, and traditional baked goods, the perfumes were unique, friendly to the nose, and beautifully packaged. There was one that I predicted (quite correctly) to be the crowd favourite – Poppy & Barley.

Fast forward a year, and look what we have here! A permanent version of the Jo Malone Poppy & Barley cologne! 😀
