When using the May Lindstrom The Pendulum Potion Complete Cleansing Oil, time slows

Paris B 6 Comments

I had a sample of the May Lindstrom Pendulum Potion when it was first launched. I cannot remember now how I came by it, but I guarded that little bottle with my life, because I loved it!

Yet, because it was so pricey, and May Lindstrom products became a little harder to come by on my usual shopping sites, I bided my time, using it sparingly.

But, I recently treated myself to the full-sized bottle, after coming across a website promotion that I couldn’t pass up on. It was one of the best purchases I’ve made to date 🙂

The simple, elegant and effective Dr. Sam’s Flawless Cleanser certainly lives up to its name!

I first learnt of the 13-dot technique from UK dermatologist, Dr. Sam Bunting. I then found out that she had created a small and basic skincare line.

As she made so much sense in her videos (do watch her videos – they are about the only YouTube videos I watch), I was curious to try her products, and one of them is the highly vaunted Dr. Sam’s Flawless Cleanser. It was the first product in her skincare line.

It had also received many positive reviews from many reputable bloggers, and I was curious to see if it might live up to its hype 😉

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Feed your skin the Murad Prebiotic Skincare power duo

Paris B 2 Comments

I don’t think you want to labour over another of my thesis-length posts today, so here’s just a (hopefully) quick beauty bite you can scan through.

Introducing a new range of products by Murad skincare, the Murad Prebiotic skincare range. I thought it was quite interesting, and you might too.

A few years ago, I’d noticed a slow but steady increase in brands introducing prebiotic or probiotic skincare. However, I had a bad reaction when ingesting probiotics (a post that still generates A LOT of discussion and interest), so I was a little wary. But I noted to a friend that it was a trend to watch.

Interestingly, the prebiotics/probiotics skincare trend hasn’t exploded as quickly as I thought it would. Perhaps, it’s more like a slow burn, that may only come to a head in the next year or two. Perhaps it will peter out. Who knows.

But Dr. Murad has gotten in on this trend, and I think that means something!

Truth to tell I have little confidence in the It Cosmetics Confidence in A Cream and Confidence in A Cleanser

Sometimes, you love a product so much you want to tell the world about it. Sometimes, you hate it so much, you want to tell the world about it.

But sometimes, you come across a product that you just feel so ambivalent about, that you don’t know if you want to tell the world about it.

Ladies and Gents, meet the It Cosmetics Confidence in A Cream and the Confidence in a Cleanser. I haven’t felt so ambivalent about a product in a long time 😛

I figured however, that I would tell you about this, despite my ambivalence, because a few people had recently asked me about it, and whether I felt it was worth using or buying.

My answer was, in a nutshell, “It’s OK OK only” with a horizontal waggle of the hand LOL 😀
