Skin Care Regimen :)

Hello Beautiful people :)

Today I wanted to share with you my skin care regimen.

The Novel:
Having good skin is 10028409652349853 times more important than having nice make-up on because make-up is like painting. You have to start with a nice bare canvas and only then, you'll be able to do the most gorgeous masterpieces ever :) I know that because I used to have really bad acne. When I used to look at my skin in the mirror, I remember how I always wanted to cry. It was horrible. Then, some day, I decided to go see a dermatologist, she gave me pills and told me that it was hormonal. However, it was sort of too late. Acne had already made its damages. It was too late because it took me around 2 years to decide that I wanted to visit the dermatologist. (STUPID ME) Why is 2 years too late ? Well, you need to attack acne as soon as you see it. Don't let it settle down. (I'm sure you know what I mean) & that's exactly what happened to me. My acne had become worse and worse and worse. My face was red and full of pimples. Now, thank God, the acne is completely gone. But, the scars remained. (that's the worst part of acne). That's why you need to treat acne as soon as you notice it. Don't wait too long because it's really HARD to erase that mistake and erase scars. It took me 2 years to erase that "waiting" mistake I did. Actually, it's still not completely gone. I still have acne scars on my forehead, mainly in between my eyebrows :( I'll probably go see a doctor and see if I can do microdermabrasion to get rid of them. I want to get rid of the scars before they get too old. Grrr. You don't want your scars to be too old, because those are the most stubborn & they don't wanna leave. Trust me.

My skin type: Dry. Yes, I have dry skin now. How weird is that. haha. In winter it's dry and in summer it's normal :) And honestly I like having Dry skin. I prefer it 1209480 times more than the oily skin I used to have.

My skin care regimen:

In the Morning: Toner :) I only tone in the morning after washing my face with warm water. Sometimes I don't even do that. I feel like my skin looks great in the morning :) And, of course, I put my Neutrogena Comfort Cream before anything. In winter, I use the Nivea Soft Cream. & The toner I'm using right now is a Nivea one, ( l love Nivea ) but as soon as I finish up the bottle, I'll try a new one. Any recommendations ?

At Night: I wash my face with Olay's Daily Facials Hydrating Cleansing Cloth for Normal to Dry skin. Since I'm a lazy person, these cloths are puuurfect for me :) After I made sure that I got rid of all the make-up, I put my Marcelle Eye Cream under my eyes . If you want to see my review on it, click here. After that, I put my Cetaphil moisturizer on :) If you wanna see a review on it, click here. And If I have a pimple, I put some Mario Badescu Drying Cream on it. But, I don't have pimples really often, so I don't use it a lot. Thank God ! Sometimes, In winter, when my skin gets super dry, I put Nivea's cream, The original one.

That's it. My skin is doing really good right now. I'm sooooo happy about that you have no idea. I had so many problems with my skin. Now, gladly, everything is fine. It makes me smile when people say : Oh your skin looks amazing. It kinda makes my day <3.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them :) and also, keep in mind that every skin is UNIQUE, so if something worked for me, It might not for you and vice versa . Also, if you have any suggestions about toners, PLEASE SHARE ! ^^

XOXO, A.

Review : Hydra-C ComplexE Eye Contour Gel

Review Time Guys!! :)

Since may 4th, I've been using this eye cream. So, it's been more than a month now that I've been putting this cream every morning and every night on my eyes. And I took my time for one reason: to get a good opinion about this product & now, I'm pretty comfortable with it. So, Let's get started.

On the box, you can read: More luminous and brighter looking eyes with Hydra-C Eye Contour Gel-Cream which revitalizes and refreshes the delicate eye contour skin. -Reduces dark circles and puffiness. -Hydrates the skin and tones the eye contour area. -Helps prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Application: apply to a well cleansed eye contour area, morning and night, with light tapping motions. Use alone or under make-up.

Review Part: WOW. For me it did exactly what it claimed. Nothing more & nothing less. As you may know, or not, I have Olive toned skin and usually, the problem with that skin color is that the under-eye area is rather brownish and dark. So, concealers are MUSTS for us and obviously, a good under-eye cream is needed. And for me, this cream is perfect. It took away almost all my dark circles and brightened that area as well. And I'm afraid of wrinkles, so this is a good cream to prevent them. It also helped with the puffiness of my eyes (due to lack of sleep or tears) & It hydrated my skin so muuuch. When I apply concealer, it glides on so much better now. I don't have to '' RUB'' anymore. Hehe. I still have some dark circles,yes, but they are definitely less noticeable! (they were REALLY bad before) Which makes me very happy (:! It's been a month now, and I've used up only half of the product. So, one bottle will definitely last you for at least 2 months :) and the price, here in Canada, is 14.26$. (very reasonable price!). However, I encountered some problems with the packaging :( (MAN I HATE THEM). At some point, the product wasn't coming out of the pump anymore. I started to ''panic'' :), but all you got to do is continue pressing and it will eventually get back to normal. But, the bottle is still really hygienic and easy to use. I use one pump for one eye :) So, if you do the math :P, 2 pumps for two eyes :). What else ? Well, it has vitamin C and E. It's perfume free and Hypo-Allergenic & the consistency is perfect. Not too runny and not too thick :) Just perfect, and it sinks into your skin really fast. I LOVE THIS CREAM :) BUY IT. If you want to reduce puffiness and dark circles and you want to prevent wrinkles, BUY THIS CREAM :)

Overall: 5/5. It does exactly what it's supposed to do.

Packaging: 4/5. It's because of the pump problem I Had, but it happened just once, so not to worry about.

Price: 14$ in Walmarts. I know that in other places, this cream is like 20$.

Size: 0,51 OZ/ 15 mL

Would you buy this again? Definitely will.

Recommended? Yes, to anyone between 18-25 :)


I know, the picture is super blurry :( But, it's the only one that I have that is close to BEFORE :(

So yeah, this is after a month. I am aware that this eye is 10 times prettier because of the mascara and the eyebrows :) but forget about it hehe ;)

So that's it :) Hope you've enjoyed this review :) If you have any questions/comments or whatever :) Just write them :)

XOXO,A.
