Bacteria isn’t all bad, and especially not when it’s in the Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream

Most of you know by now what a big fan I am of Antipodes skincare. Barring one or two items in the product range, I usually love everything carried by the brand, and I look forward to new releases from them.

When I came across the new Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream, I was very intrigued.

Primarily, I was intrigued at the use of probiotics in the formula. I’d been reading about probiotics in skincare for a while, but there aren’t many brands I know, that use it.

Ultimately though, I had my reservations about the Antipodes Culture Probiotic night cream, and it had nothing to do with the probiotics 🙂

When the day gets overwhelming, calm down and luxuriate in the Chanel Sublimage Le Baume Revitalizing, Protecting and Soothing balm

Here’s a little funny personal backstory to my receiving the Chanel Sublimage Le Baume.

When I first heard of it, I immediately thought that it would be a balm cleanser, and I LOVE balm cleansers! It did strike me a little odd that there would be a balm cleanser when there already exists the Sublimage Gel-to-Oil cleanser (which I LOVE!), but I did not think much of it. Who can fathom how brands think anyway?!

So, when the Sublimage Le Baume dropped in my lap, I did a double-take. This was not a cleansing balm!

A quick frantic read of the literature revealed to me that the Sublimage Le Baume was, in fact, a balm moisturiser!

I must confess that this dry-skinned gal got even more excited at the thought of a balm moisturiser, than I did at the thought of a balm cleanser! 😀

The Skin Renewing Night Cream is packed with anti-aging ingredients at a wallet-friendly pricetag!

Let me just preface this post by telling you this – I do like the Cerave Skin Renewing Night Cream.

It’s just great for the skin, and I like how my skin feels when I use it, because it’s fairly basic, yet does so much for dry skin, and skin barrier.

My only real problem with it is how joy-less it feels using it LOL! 😛

Is the new Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Premium Essence better than the regular version?

A little while ago, I shared a brand of Vitamin C serum that I found terribly effective. It was so effective (and affordable) that I was quite loathe to share my little find with everyone. Sometimes, I’m selfish like that.

It was the Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Essence, or also known as the Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot essence.

Earlier this year, I was browsing a Japanese website, and stumbled on a new, upgraded version, and decided to buy it to try. All this, without understanding quite what it was, or how it was different. I can be a little impulsive like that 😀

Not very long after I received it, I received a tube from the brand locally, because, as luck would have it, the Melano CC Vitamin C Brightening Premium Essence (aka Melano CC Intensive Anti-Spot Premium Essence as it’s known in Japan) is available in Malaysia!

I’ve almost finished using 1 tube, and truth to tell, I was struggling to form an opinion on it.
