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

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!

Let there be light! And there was Chanel Sublimage l’Essence Lumiere serum

Late last year, I had the privilege of trotting off to a media event for the launch of 2 new serums in the exlusive Chanel Sublimage range, which I shared with you in great depth here.

I also had the distinct privilege of trying out both new serums – the Sublimage l’Essence Fondamentale, which I’ve already shared, and the Sublimage l’Essence Lumiere.

I was using it for a month back in December, and sporadically since. I usually try new products for a month straight where possible to gauge its efficacy. Over time, I incorporate it as and when I need it, usually because there’s always something else going on.

There’s an intricate dance of products being used and tested that I can’t quite explain, but it’s all kept straight in my head, and I know how it works LOL Ah #lifeofablogger – not all glamorous, I assure you 😀

But onto the Chanel Sublimage l’Essence Lumiere – what is this and who might it be for?

Increase your skin’s brightness filter with the Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Acid Serum

It’s been a little while since I last talked to you about Vitamin C serums. The last one I used and featured is, I believe, the Obagi C10 serum which I absolutely loved! I used it up to the very last drop, but when the opportunity arose for me to get a new bottle, I balked.

I want to be good about using up my Vitamin C serums. I swear by them, the way some people swear by their plastic surgeon LOL! Instead of getting a new bottle of Obagi C10, I broke out one I’d been keeping for a while – the Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Acid Serum.

Timeless 20% Vitamin C + E + Ferulic Acid Serum

It’s quite a mouthful, so I’ll call it the Timeless Vitamin C serum, for ease of reference. At present, Timeless Skincare only makes 1 Vitamin C serum, so it’s not that confusing 😛

I was actually very excited to try this one, because SO MANY PEOPLE have pushed it at me. “Try the Timeless Vit C, PB! You’ll love it! It’s so effective!” That’s about the gist of it.

One memorable comment from a long-time reader made me laugh. She said that it brightened her skin tone so much, she shocked herself when she looked in the mirror as she looked ethereal! LOL! I had to check out Casper for myself 😀

Let the Oskia Renaissance Mask renew, rejuvenate and resurface your skin

Paris B 52 Comments

Oskia is a brand that was quite hot about a year ago, and has since slipped a little, in terms of popularity, if Instagram is any judge. For me however, it’s a brand that I’m a little smitten with!

Many people raved about the Oskia Renaissance Gel Cleanser (count me as a fan). But there’s another product, less talked about, that I think everyone should try – the Oskia Renaissance Mask.

Oskia Renaissance Mask

Briefly, Oskia is a niche skincare brand that hails from the UK. It is quite new, but has made waves in the skincare world since its launch. Their products are designed with cellular nutrients and high-tech bio-actives, containing vitamins, omegas and minerals. It is all very fascinating to me, primarily because whatever products I’ve used thus far, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed! 🙂

Like the Renaissance Cleansing Gel, the Renaissance Mask is a pale peach-pink colour in tub. I tried a sample before this, and I loved it so much, I sprung for the full sized tub. If you know what’s good for you, you’d read on 😛
