Ole Henriksen Truth Revealed™ Vitamin C Super Crème  Ole Henriksen Truth Revealed™ Vitamin C Super Crème  Ole Henriksen Truth Revealed™ Vitamin C Super   Crème comes in a 1.7 oz jar which costs $55.  The cream  feels so smooth, creamy, and gives a cooling sensation once applied to the skin.  The luxurious cream feels as if you're applying an orange ice lolly on to your face which is so refreshing.  It is quite powerful in terms of combatting emerging fine lines, which can be stopped in their tracks if treated early! However, for those who do not like scented products ... BEWARE!! This is highly fragranced!! If I had to pick a con regarding the cream, I think this would be it!! It smells s

NARS launched their new line of lipsticks, I believe back in Fall of 2014.  The NARS Audacious lipssticks were the new on the beauty block and so much hype was created on their launch.  I was eager like other beauty bloggers and was one of the first who got their hands on them. NARS Audacious Lipsticks  In October 2014, I browsed the Nordstrom website and from all the colors they had, I thought it was better to play safe with colors that I knew would be well-loved and were my go-to.  I purchased Raquel and Brigitte.  Both which seemed on-screen as safe bets!  I didn't want to buy more as I wasn't sure if I was gonna like the formula or how well the lipsticks would last.  It was a pure shot in the dark.

I am always on the look out for ways to give myself the experience of a Spa facial within the comfort of my own home.  In my quest for quality products, I stumbled upon the KERSTIN FLORIAN Clarifying Moor Mud Masque.  Coincidentally, this very mask is used by many spas!  I was pleasantly surprised that I found this product on Nordstrom.com. KERSTIN FLORIAN Clarifying Moor Mud Masque The mask comes in a 133ml tube, which has a shelf life of 12 months.  The Moor Mud Masque consists of a number of minerals and trace elements that help to draw out the impurities from the skin.  The mask is pretty potent and only requires 5 minutes of your time.  It surely can be applied in the morning for a quick clarifying treatment, followed by your morning skincare routine. The mask doesn't make your face burn, but as you near the 5 minute mark; you can feel a slight sensation on your face.  I, personally, don't leave it longer than the said time and prefer to rinse my face usi

As we are steadily entering the spring months, we all are trying to get rid of the dry, flakey skin we tend to get living in cold climates and environments with constant air conditioning also contributes to such skin conditions.   I, myself, fall in the latter category and decided to raid my beauty stash looking for something that would help get rid of the flakiness I was suffering from on my chin.  I stumbled upon THE BODY SHOP's Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil. \ THE BODY SHOP Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil  The serum comes in 28ml pink bottle which is quite cute and looks so girly sitting on the vanity!! *huge smiles*   A pipette (dropper)  is used to dispense the serum and one of the best that I have used so far!  Some are so poorly made that you have to pump several times to get the right amount of product you want to apply.   The serum is great for "recharging and replenishing moisture" back into the skin for unto 8 hours as stated by The BODY S
