If you feel the need to up your acid toner strength, try the Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Acid 10% Toning Complex

May 5, 2017 Paris B 15 Comments

I unearthed this one day from my stash, and I’d been playing around with it for the past few months. I’m not even sure where or when I got it (because I have a mini-Sephora like that LOL!) but it’s one of those products that are raved all up and down the internet, and you know me. If it’s a highly raved skincare item, I’m all over it!

This is the Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Acid 10% Toning Complex (I’ll call it the Peter Thomas Roth Glycolic Acid Toner) and what it is, is a toner. A clarifying toner, they call it. But it is also what is popularly known as an acid toner.

Toners like these contain acids (duh! Usually AHA or BHA) that help to chemically exfoliate skin. Ever since I learnt how good they are for my skin, I’ve used them for a few years now. It really does help, and I don’t even really use a physical exfoliator or scrub anymore.

But this. This is very popular, and I can see why. 10% Glycolic Acid baby! 😀

Paris Picks! The CC Cream Edition – 3 CC Creams I’ve been using recently

October 20, 2014 Paris B 22 Comments

You know, it took me a long while to warm up to BB Creams and it wasn’t until I eventually found some that actually worked for me that I actually warmed up to the idea of using them. By that time, CC Creams had come on the scene and I had a headdesk moment. I was going to have to re-learn the whole notion of alphabet creams again!

CC Creams, or Colour Correcting creams claimed to be an improvement on BB Creams. They boasted a lighter texture, and colour correcting pigments instead of mere tint. If you ask me however, barring some truly colour correcting creams that are basically primers to correct sallowness or redness in skintone, there is very little to distinguish BB or CC Creams. So you know what? Don’t bother. Just use whatever you like, whatever it may be called. Even if it be a GG (Glamorously Gorgeous) Cream which isn’t yet invented but which just might be 😛 Remember however, it is first and foremost a makeup item, not skincare so please clean it off accordingly and please do not attempt to sleep in it.

But because everyone loves labels, I thought I’d share with you 3 CC Creams I’ve tried that I actually like and use pretty often. It might surprise you that a popular CC Cream that was said to have started the whole trend isn’t here in my list, but you know, that’s life 🙂 I just found myself preferring these. So let me quickly share them with you because I’ve never reviewed them individually before this and I’ve got a tip for making these CC Creams work better for me! 😀

These bright gels from Peter Thomas Roth go on your face not your hair!

September 11, 2014 Paris B 14 Comments

The day I opened the boxes to these Peter Thomas Roth gel masks, I couldn’t stifle a shout of laughter. The tubs of bright green and bright pink gel were so reminiscent of…. 90’s HAIR GEL! 😀 Come on, I can’t be the only person out there who thinks so right?

Tip: Keeping the gel masks in the fridge offer a lovely cooling treat for skin on warm days but don’t keep it with your veges or within reach of children or anyone who might dip a spoon in here and taste the product 😛

But you know what? Don’t go smearing these colourful gel in your hair, they go on your face instead. I’ve never really tried anything from Peter Thomas Roth before but apparently their gel masks are highly acclaimed. The Cucumber Gel Mask in particular, seems to get raves for being soothing, hydrating and gentle on skin so I was curious to see how I’d like that one.

The Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel Mask is a new addition and touts an anti-aging function, helping to soften lines while hydrating and rejuvenating skin. If you’ve tried either, or any other, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this too!
