Chanel Hydra Beauty Creme

I thought I'd share my Holy Grail Moisturizer - Chanel Hyrda Beauty Cream.

 I have been using this moisturizer for around a year and I absolutely love it! I have repurchased it once and I use it each night. It's a bit (perhaps a bit is an understatement) on the expensive side, however, I feel for my skin, its worth forking out the extra money.

During the winter months my skin gets extremely dry, which leads to irritable, red skin so a good moisturizer is a must for me. 

Rather than rant on about the product, I thought I'd mix up my formatting and give you all a pro and con list!

Pro:

• The Product, as the name suggests, it really hydrates the skin without leaving it super oily.
• It smells great!
• You only need a small amount to cover a large area
• It gives my skin, particularly the cheek area, a nice soft finish.

Con:

• The product is expensive - it retails for around the $90 mark for 50grams.  This could be enough of a 'con' to deter you.
• If you use too much, it can leave your skin feeling oily. 
• The packaging doesn't really reflect the hefty price tag. 
• The scent isn't everyone's 'thing' - its slightly fruity with hints of aloe (Does that even make sense? 

Personally, even considering the price tag, I can't speak highly enough of this product, I love it!

Having said that, my bank account would love if you have any cheaper alternatives that will help my skin. Any Suggestions?

May Favourites Video

So I FINALLY got my act together and filmed a YouTube Video. Here's hoping this video gets me back into the swing of things. 

Please excuse the poor quality and bad editing - Im still learning. 

Also, please excuse the weird breathing (haha) I have a sinus infection, so sound like a weird, morbidly obese smoker. 

Either way Enjoy!

Garnier BB Cream - Combination & Oily Skin

 

I am a little bit late to the party with this post but thought I would share my thoughts on the Garnier BB Cream for combination & Oily Skin. 

I have been using this product for a little over a year now. I tried it when it first come out mid 2012 and despite the mixed reviews from the Australian Beauty Community, I really loved it.

I am in the color light which blends into my skin nicely without looking too light or too dark.  

If you have read any other reviews on this BB Cream, you will read it has a slightly runny consistency, however,  I don’t mind that so much, as it makes it easier to blend in, and my skin really absorbs the moisture of the product.

The packing is nothing fancy, which once again, for the purpose of this product I love. Being a plastic tube, I can just put it in my bag and go and not worry about spilling or any broken bottles.

I try to keep application fairly simple. I put some product on parts of my face and then just use my hands to blend it into my skin.

The only downside to this product is that it will occasionally leave me with a slightly oily finish and of course the runniness (is that even a word?) can be a bit of a pain if you don’t put the lid straight back on.

All in all I am a massive fan, and have repurchased MANY times!

What are your thoughts OR what are some other BB Creams I should try

Until Next Time
