Containing 25% stablized Vitamin C the Novexpert Booster Vitamin C is quite impressive

January 6, 2020 Paris B Leave a Comment

Some time in the past few months, I stopped using a Vitamin C serum. While it is a staple in my routine, I was experiencing some skin sensitivity, that made me go back to basics, to regain my skin health.

When things got back to normal, I decided to break open a new Vitamin C serum, from a brand that I wasn’t familiar with. Experimentation is the name of the game!

The brand was Novexpert, a French brand of skincare that I’d briefly heard of, but never really come across. The brand was founded by doctors and researchers who focus on skin aging, and is sold at pharmacies, albeit at a higher price tag as they are known as “cosmoceutical” brands. The products are formulated without known harmful ingredients, and are designed to be gentle even on sensitive skin.

While I found the brand story interesting, and not unlike that of most brands today, what I was more interested in what in the efficacy of their products. The first I tried was the Novexpert Booster Vitamin C serum. If I was going to dive in, I’d dive in with one of my favourite product categories! 😀

2020 Life Mantra: Be Conscious

January 2, 2020 Paris B 6 Comments

Are you one to set new year resolutions? I haven’t, for many years. Well, actually I have. I resolve to not make new year resolutions LOL!

But what I’ve done in recent years, is to set a life mantra for the year. A little mantra that I hold on to, and try to stick to for the year. Call it a resolution if you wish, but I have found it to be far more effective than just making a whole list of resolutions that I break at the first opportunity.

For 2020, my life mantra shall be this – Be Conscious.

Auld Lang Syne to another year and reflecting on the end of a decade

December 23, 2019 Paris B 12 Comments

Hello friends,

My year-end missive is a little early this year, I realize. But it comes at a time when many of us are taking time off for ourselves and winding down for the year.

This year, I’m taking that time for myself too.

I’ve noticed that people are saying that this year is the end of a decade (2009-2019) and that the New Year brings us into a new decade. While I don’t subscribe to that theory (I consider 2020 the end of the decade because I’m contrary like that 😛 ) I couldn’t help thinking that I might embrace it this time.

I’ve had a fairly challenging year, and decade, and truth be told, it hasn’t been what I expected it to be. If I were to sum my 2019 up in a word, it would be… hard LOL! 😛

Instead, I’d pick 2 words – Seizing Opportunities. Are you able to sum your year up in a word, or two? 🙂

If you don’t own the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush, you don’t know what you’re missing out on!

Can a girl have too many makeup brushes?

The answer, as it turns out, is Yes.

This is especially so, when you aren’t a makeup artist. What excuse do you have for owning 20 different foundation brushes, for example? I found none. So, I stopped cold turkey.

I stopped buying makeup brushes, and I stopped looking. I had enough, as my sizeable collection screamed at me from their storage drawers.

One day a year or so ago however, I chanced upon the Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Foundation Brush, and something about it made me buy it.

And I have not regretted it since! 😀
