1 dropper of the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchroized Multi-Recovery Complex serum and you can just call it a night

It’s probably no secret that I’m a fan of the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum. I know it’s not everyone’s favourite, and I often get people telling me they don’t understand why I like it, or that it is overpriced.

But it’s a product that’s consistently worked for me, and it’s one that I find pleasure in using. So really, it should just be that – different products work for different people!

Some time last year, the iconic little brown bottle underwent another reformulation. Truth to tell, I’ve lost count. I think the last one was the Synchronized Recovery Complex II? Or am I mistaken?

Anyway, the new version of the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum is now called Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex, and I was kindly gifted a bottle a long while ago to have a go. Yes, I’m tardy, it’s a flaw 😛

I was curious just how the reformulation (if that) might make this iconic serum feel any different on skin, especially since I haven’t used it for a while.

If looking for an affordable serum that protects, brightens and repairs skin the Yeouth Vitamin C & E Serum is worth considering

I picked up the Yeouth Vitamin C & E Serum on iHerb without knowing too much about it. It was one of those purchases on a whim, if you may.

It was pretty affordable, and I’m always curious about a new Vitamin C serum. But primarily, it was affordable, and as much as I love my luxury skincare products, I too love a good budget find! 😀

Incidentally, I’ve been approached by Yeouth to ‘review’ their products, for which they offered me credit to purchase on iHerb, and then post a review of it. I declined the offer as it was far too much trouble than it was worth. The products aren’t very expensive, and I had already purchased them anyway. However, this has resulted in my viewing online and Instagram reviews of Yeouth products with a jaundiced eye. Most people will not disclose this fact of ‘sponsorship’ and while I have nothing against it, I do think it is appropriate to disclose it for transparency, so readers are able to better evaluate your review.

And now, on to what I think of the Yeouth Vitamin C & E Serum 🙂

For a moisturizing, radiant glow, I gave the Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil a shot!

I love me a good facial oil, and anything with Vitamin C. And I also thoroughly enjoyed using the Sunday Riley CEO Vitamin C Serum. One of the complementary items in the CEO range was the Sunday Riley CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil, and when I bought my trial kit a while ago, a deluxe sample size came with it.

I believe Sunday Riley had the CEO Glow Vitamin C + Turmeric Face Oil first, before they came out with the Vitamin C serum. It was one of those things I’d been meaning to try for the longest time.

Now that I have, was it worth the wait? 😀

Sun damaging your skin? Here’s how I protect mine after prolonged sun exposure

January 19, 2021 Paris B 6 Comments

I was always an indoors person. Never very sporty or outdoorsy. It was easier for me to look after my skin then. Staying indoors is generally better for your skin, because of the reduced UV and sun exposure.

But then, I got a dog and all hell pretty much broke loose LOL!

Having a dog comes with many responsibilities, and one of them is daily walks. That meant I was being moved out of my comfort zone, and out into the sun.

Initially, I wasn’t paying much attention to my skin. I’d rush through my morning skincare routine, slap on any ol’ sunscreen, and head out the door with puppers.

But as time went by, I noticed my skin was becoming more dry, dull and my pigmentation had gotten worse. I knew I had to do something.
