What Skin Care / Treatment Did You Buy Today?

[Anna026]

Tatika; I can't recommend a serum as I just use argan oil at night which fuctions well as a "serum" for me. If you're more specific on what your looking for (discoloration, aging, dryness, etc) I'm sure someone on the broard will have a good recommendation for you However, for eye cream I'm really happy with the one by Nuxe Paris (Nirvanesque Contour des Yeux). It's light, clean, and doesn't cause any small bumps on the skin around my eyes. I was using Dermatologica's Multi-Vitamin firm before and really disliked it (it was greasy and broke out my skin). Hope this helps!

Bought today:
Two clarisonic sensitive replacement heads
Josie Maran Earth Day Essentials Kit; Super excited about this!! Trashed much of my old makeup so this was my reward
Josie Maran Argan Oil

Try organic rosehip oil. I use it every night as a serum. It's incredible. Works on hyperpigmentation and is great for your skin.

Bought the Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentre just a second ago. Couldn't resist It'll probably arrive in a few days!

Out of curiosity, have you tried their hand creams? This is my first L'occitane purchase and I definitely want to try out more of their stuff!

 

[classicalbang]

^ Their Shea Butter Hand Cream is fantastic. Everything else I've used pales in comparison.

L'Occitane 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream
The Body Shop Hair Removal Wax Strips (Tonight's gonna be one painful night...)

 

[Leeroi]

I used a lightening lotion last night for my face and this morning my face was practically void of any moisture. It was effective, but I desperately needed a moisturizer, especially for the sensitive areas like around the eyes and lips. I went to my local supermarket and bought Burt's Bees Radiance Day Creme w/ Royal Jelly.

(drugstore.com)

I've actually been eyeing it online for sometime, but I never found it in stores until today. And it has worked wonders the first time I used it this morning!



Oh, and it was Royal Jelly. I feel like Eddie Monsoon.

^Ooooh, I love Burt's Bees! Congrats on the buy!

L'Occitane 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream
The Body Shop Hair Removal Wax Strips (Tonight's gonna be one painful night...)

are those strips any good for the *ahem*...lower area?

 

[michyed]

^You know, great question! For some reason the strips weren't strong enough to tug those hairs out. I think it was because the hairs weren't long enough yet . Apparently they have to be at least quarter of an inch long... So I guess I will have to wait until they're long enough. Icky! I'll let you know how it goes then!

the temperature is dropping and my skin is getting very dry, so i decided to order a whole slew of things that'll help moisturize my skin through the fall/winter season. i know it's a long list, but really i only restock twice a year. once for spring/summer, and once for fall/winter. haha, its like clothes.

St. Ives Olive Scrub (been a big fan of this for a while, I use it daily since it's not very harsh. very moisturizing. and it's very very cheap.)
Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream (mainly for my hands and feet)
Kojie.San Kojic Acid Body Lotion
Clarins Body Lotion
Shu Uemura Depsea Cream
Shiseido Benefiance Daytime Cream
Shiseido Benefiance Cream Cleanser
Shiseido Enriched Night Moisturizer
Shiseido Sheet Cleanser
Shiseido Relaxing Masque
Aveeno Ultra-Calming Moisturizer

big fan of Shiseido products since a few years ago when I was forced to stay there because my flight to Philippines was delayed for a few days. my annoyance with the delay turned to a shopping spree for my mom and she liked them, so decided to try it myself.
