A 2 week trial with the freshly activated Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment

Paris B 2 Comments

It’s been a while since I shared a review about a Vitamin C serum. The reason is because I took a short break after using the last one. It wasn’t intentional but circumstantial.

After a month or so, I decided to get back into the groove, and picked up the Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment that I’d been sent to try. I thought it was intriguing, because it had a ‘fresh activation’ packaging, rather like the one from Clinique.

Even more interesting is that the Trilogy Vitamin C Booster Treatment comes in a very small 12.5ml dose, and is recommended to be used up in 2 weeks. Little things like this often make me wonder about the product efficacy and potency, so I put it to the test.

I double cleanse daily, so I had to see if the Pixi + Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse holds up to scrutiny

Paris B 3 Comments

It’s no secret that I am quite a fan of most Pixi Beauty skincare products. They are generally fairly affordable, and effective. That’s pretty much what we seek in most skincare don’t we?

And there is one specific Pixi product I get asked about a lot – the Pixi Double Cleanse, created with the popular skincare guru Caroline Hirons. There has been much I’ve learned from Ms. Hirons (and some that I disagree with) but if there’s one thing I can agree on, it’s the importance of a double cleanse.

I’d talked about double cleansing way back when I started this blog in 2007. It was a cleansing concept I’d picked up from using Japanese skincare, and it’s stuck with me since. People used to roll their eyes at me back in the day, because it seems like so much work; but now, it’s become an established norm, and touted by big names in skincare. So I’m now feeling somewhat vindicated for being a pioneer in this area 😛

The Pixi Double Cleanse gets a lot of raves, so naturally, I had to see what the hype was about.

And just like that, September has come and gone in quite literally, a blink of an eye! While it’s felt, to me, like the past month was slowly plodding by, it’s also felt like it’s flown by. I’m not sure how that’s happened, but it has!

Bold and intense, the Chanel Rouge Allure Ink Fusion Intense Matte Lip Color feels like second-skin on lips

Paris B 3 Comments

I’m not a fan of matte lipstick, and especially not of matte liquid lipstick. It is a trend that I wish would fade away, but it doesn’t seem to be. The next best thing therefore is for me to find a formula that is comfortable and flattering. For me, that formula is the Chanel Rouge Allure Ink.

I’m still thoroughly enjoying using it because it fits right in with the matte lip trend, yet feels so comfortable on. Naturally therefore when I got wind of the new Chanel Rouge Allure Ink Fusion matte liquid lip colour, my interest was piqued.
