^I know what you mean... just so annoying!!

AM routine today:
Splash of cold water (I only cleanse in the evening)
Dermalogica Multi-active toner
Evian water atomizer (then pat dry)
Clarins Morning Essence with vitamins (smells divine!)
SkinCeuticals Phyto+ Gel
La Prairie skin caviar eye gel serum
Cetaphil SPF50 Sunscreen

 

[LetThemEatCake]

Good for you! I only cleanse in the AM if I'm shaving, to prep my hair, otherwise it's not necessary in the AM and I just pat on cool, tepid water and then toner, serum, cream, eye cream, SPF.

I have the entire La Prairie Skin Caviar line...the new Crystalline Concentrate, it's insane!

 

[[vogue]]

I like the radiance eye cream, but only use it when my eye area feels really dry - too rich for humid weather, imo... Do you find that the eye serum tightens the under eye area and makes it super smooth?? That's what I love about it!!

How do you find the Shiseido Benefiance eye cream? I use the one from The Skincare line, which is less rich.

Any product recommendations to eliminate blackheads?? TIA!

 

[LetThemEatCake]

For blackheads, some gentle extractions, followed with Biologique Recherche's P50V.

Large pores can be diminished by the NB Glyco Peel, Karin Herzog's Vita Kombi cream, ReVive's new Microdermabrasion Cream.

I love the Shiseido eye cream and the La Prairie Skin Caviar Serum for eyes is very smoothing.

 

[empaulio]

late reply, but yes i hate shaving! I usually exfoliate before shaving with quite a harsh particle level i feel it helps get a closer shave as i do tend to shave once i have a few days stubble.
As for blackheads i had a facial today and my therapist gets rid of them for me following a steam treatment to open the pores. I hate the pain but love the feeling after!
I have never tried La Prairie i once had a sample of the lotion but i prefer a creme, do you use the moisturizer?

 

[[vogue]]

^Thank you, LTEC! How's the ReVive microdermabasion cream like? Is it harsh? I hate blackheads - I've got a tiny sprinkling of tiny miniscule ones on my nose - truly annoying!

^^miu_miu: Thanks!! I'll definitely pop by Harrods soon!

^^empaulio: You should try the advanced marine biology cream... The texture's really lovely, and it makes my skin glow! It's not a very heavy moisturizer (perfect for my oilier skin type), and gives it that certain 'bounce'!

 

[LetThemEatCake]

Oh yes the Marine Biology cream is nice, also the Night Solution, but the Biology Tonic I think broke me out, so I had to return it.

I use a ton of moisturizers, way too many, but I do like the Skin Caviar Luxe Cream, although the entire line is very pricey, so I'm definitely not pressuring you to get it.

[vogue] i really like the ReVive microdermabrasion, even though I love La Prairie's too...I'm just a product wh*re.

 

[miu_miu]

Thanks LTEC!

I'm very tempted to try the Biologique products that you're using/recommending, but I can't find them ANYWHERE!

I'm in contact with the BR people at the moment and they don't have a seller in London They've sent me a price list & catalogue which I will send you if you want - and they're happy to advise on products and place your order. I was thinking about ordering from beautyhabit.com but this might work out better for shipping/duties. Let me know if you want the info

Last night I used: Natura Bisse Sensitive Cream Cleanser, Sensitive Toner and Sensitive Cream with Stimul-Eye active eye gel.

miu_miu: I would love to have that price list & catalogue!! <3 I just received an e-mail from them telling me that they don't have a seller in London too. Thank you sweetie!

 

[LetThemEatCake]

miu_miu do you love the Sensitive Range from NB? I love that cleanser, it melts into the skin. I have the cream too but rarely use it....I have too much!

I'm surprised there's not a seller in London for Biologique Recherche, that's odd.

Last night
Dermalogica PreCleanse
Biologique Recherche VIP02 Oxygenating Cleansing Milk
Biologique Recherche P50V
Biologique Recherche MC110 No.1 Restructurating Facial Fluid
Karin Herzog Vita Kombi 1 Cream
La Prairie Cellular Eye Contour Cream

 

[miu_miu]

^My skin was going from the extremely cold weather & even though I love my old cleanser, my skin was so stressed even that was causing me problems which it had never done before. So I got the Sensitive cleanser and with one use my skin was calm again and I've had zero problems since I got the Sensitive Cream as well because I needed more moisture, it's a great basic to have around I think.

Clinique 3 step system^^

Have any of you tried the NB Ananas Finishing Mask and the Oxygen Mask? They're oddly quite cheap for NB's products, no?

>miu2, just PM-ed you.

Last night:
Bioderma Sensibio H20
Clarins Ultra Foaming Cleanser (I love the luxurious fine foam!)
Dermalogica Gentle Cream Exfoliator
Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask (Love this product!)
Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner
SkinCeuticals Revew Overnight Oily

 

[miu_miu]

^I have Oxygen Mask and it's...ok. It's a clear gel and I guess it has an effect in terms of keeping the skin clear & bright in conjunction with your other products but it makes very little immediate difference. If you have good skin, it can help keep it that way but there are more useful and enjoyable products out there Not sure about the Ananas Mask, but a great mask from NB is the Stabilizing Cleansing Mask - amazing! Thoroughly cleanses the skin and gives incredible glow to the skin.

Tonight:
Bioderma Crealine h20
Garnier Makeup Remover
Natura Bisse Sensitive Cream Cleanser, Toner & Cream
Natura Bisse Stimul-Eye Active Gel
Darphin Camomile Oil

 

[coachwife6]

Last night: Christian Dior Lait Demaquillant Douceur make-up remover
Lancome BiFacial toner
Sonya Kashuk Eye makeup remover
La Mer Radiant Infusion
La Mer Creme de la mer
La Mer the eye concentrate
And on my hands L'occitaine oatmeal mask hand treatment

This am: La Mer gel
Chantecaille tinted moisturizer in nude
Cle de peau concealer to run in.

Will apply more for tonight.

^miu, is the NB mask a drying clay mask type? Oh, and is the NB oxygen mask comparable to the Bliss oxygen mask? I love Bliss' one!
