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!

5 Things I Love Vol. 3: Blog housekeeping and a bit of this and that

Hello friends!

I don’t know about you, but August has been quite a month for me this year – both good and bad.

But mostly good 🙂

Before I jump to sharing the 5 things I love this month, I wanted to just quickly give a heads up about a slight change in posting schedule here on the blog.

Will the Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum and B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum send me to a euphoric high?

Now, here’s a brand that’s quite a hot name in the skincare business now – Drunk Elephant. The curiously named brand that conjures up amusing images of inebriated pachyderms has fascinated me for a long time.

But I’ve always balked, because the prices are eye-watering.

So, when I spotted the Drunk Elephant Rise + Glow set, featuring minis of 2 products I’d most wanted to try from the brand, I pounced!

Although containing just 8ml of product each, it’s lasted me for 2 weeks and still counting. About enough time for me to figure out what I think of both these cult products, and whether I’ll splurge on the full sizes.

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!
