You will be quite happy to use the Omorovicza Daily Vitamin C Serum every day if budget permits

June 10, 2019 Paris B 6 Comments

It’s no secret by now that I’m a huge huge fan of using Vitamin C serums. While I struggle with other active ingredients, Vitamin C has delivered quick and visible results that have impressed me.

Naturally therefore, any new Vitamin C serum in the market grabs my interest, and the Omorovicza Daily Vitamin C serum is no exception!

I was very fortunate to be introduced the new Omorovicza Daily Vitamin C serum at a media launch, and thereafter, to spend some time using it, before I could form an opinion.

It’s been almost 2 months that I’ve been using this Vitamin C serum exclusively (I never use Vitamin C serums alongside each other – only after I finish the previous one) so I think I’m able to now form an opinion. But more interestingly, will it be worth the money? It is very pricey!

If red be the colour of energy and life, then it is most apt that the newly launched Mamonde Red Energy Recovery Serum comes in a striking red glass bottle.

The Red Energy range is a new range within the affordable Korean Mamonde brand. It presently features just one product – the Red Energy Recovery Serum, that is targeted at revitalizing the skin.

Spending 7 days with the Clinique Fresh Pressed Clinical Overnight Booster with pure Vitamin A (Retinol)

Skincare products with Retinol or Vitamin A appear to be quite a buzzword this year. Me? I’m happy about it. It means I have more choices across the board, and brands have to work harder to impress. Win for the consumer!

One I had been curious about was the Clinique Fresh Pressed Overnight Clinical™ Overnight Booster With Pure Vitamin A (Retinol). What a mouthful!

I’ll just call it the Clinique Fresh Pressed retinol, to keep things more concise.

When I heard about it, I was super curious. I am starting to incorporate products with Vitamin A (Retinol) into my skincare routine, so any new retinol product intrigues me.

I tested the Clinique Fresh Pressed Retinol over the past week, and here’s what I think. “But it’s only been a week!” I hear you say “Where’s your credibility?! Don’t you have to wait at least a month for results?”

Ah… 😉

Travel Skincare Tip: Keeping up appearances on holiday or How to ace your base in low humidity

April 15, 2019 Paris B 14 Comments

I know many of you travel, and cooler climes are always a favourite destination, to escape from our infernal tropical heat and humidity. But how often do you travel somewhere cool, and then find that your skincare isn’t holding up, or that your skin starts to flake and dry out and break out? Worst of all, this happens even after you return home!

Not only is it uncomfortable, your makeup doesn’t look good whether in person or in holiday snaps.

Well, I most recently went on such a holiday.

It was cold and windy, and the humidity was laughably in single digits. I knew my skin would suffer. So I made the necessary preparations, and I can happily report that after a week, the skin on my body was dry and itchy as heck! But the skin on my face was not only comfortable and near perfect, my makeup went on well and looked so natural and amazing too! Yes, I’m preening LOL! 😀

So here’s some tips you should keep in mind when you travel from the hot and humid tropics to a cool, low humidity destination, and the products that helped me.
