Clinique Acne Solutions plus line correcting serum review

It is as if Clinique has answered my prayers! Clinique’s Acne Solutions plus line correcting serum is the product I have been waiting for all my life. You have no idea how thankful I was when Clinique first told me about it!

Since my undergrad years at USF, I have suffered from acne. I thought as I aged, my acne would go away. Instead, my acne has been joined by fine lines which I know will someday turn into wrinkles. My assumption is that the acne will remain too. Ugh! The horror! But I digress. . .

The Clinique Acne Treatment plus fine lines serum is exactly the treatment I need to treat both my adult acne, and my fine lines. It has been difficult over the years trying to find an acne product I can combine with a product which teats fine lines. Usually these types of products are counter-productive. Let’s face it, acne treatments usually try to dry out the oils and clean up the pores which cause acne. Fine line treatments try to add moisture to the skin to restore youth. These two things don’t play well together!

Instead of trying to combine products, and ending up without any results, Clinique has found a way to treat both problems with one product; resulting in actual results! Love that! I received my bottle of Clinique Acne Solutions + line correcting serum about one month ago. I have been using it daily according the directions. Words can’t even describe how happy I am!

Over the past month, I have watched my acne get under control; so I look like an adult. Love! I have also watched my fine lines look less visible. This is great news! Botox and fillers will never be an option for me; I plan to grow old gracefully. That being said, I want to make sure I have the right products in my arsenal so that I can indeed, grow old gracefully.

I am extremely happy with, and thankful for, Clinique Acne Treatment + line correcting serum. It is the magic potion my crazy, combination skin needs to stay as smooth as possible, for as long as possible! Love!

If you are developing fine lines, and are still combating acne, I highly recommend Clinique Acne Treatment plus line correcting serum. It is the ideal product for us!

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine spring 2017 lipstick review

It’s here! The Chanel spring 2017 beauty collection has arrived. With it, we have two beautiful new Rouge Coco Shine hydrating sheer lipstick colors! Love! Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Noir Moderne and Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Beige Dore are the two new IT lipstick colors for spring 2017!

Although I wear lipsticks from a few different brands, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine is my all-time favorite lipstick. I love the sheer nature of the lipstick; plus, it always hydrates my lips. It is comfortable, never smears, applies evenly, never cakes, and wears off evenly. That is perfection.

For spring 2017, we are seeing beige hues, and deep, dark, autumn-like hues. The new lipstick colors from Chanel for spring 2017 reflect this trend in makeup. Beige Dore is a golden beige hue which is easy to wear daily, and to work. Noir Moderne is an avant-garde, dark purple, which if it wasn’t sheer, would be as vampy as it gets! Noir Moderne is perfect to wear at night, and if you are the daring type, wear it during daylight hours too! Why not?!

Here are swatches of me wearing the new Chanel Rouge Coco Shine spring 2017 lipstick colors. My darling little ten-year-old daughter took these photos of me, so I apologize in advance for my expressions. She was making faces while snapping the pictures, which in turn, made me laugh. But I digress. . .here are the spring 2017 colors!

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine hydrating sheer lipstick Beige Dore

This is the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Beige Dore lipstick. I love this color for everyday wear. It is a golden beige color which blends well with any color palette. It will be easy to wear with all of the spring colors hitting store shelves! Beige Dore by Chanel will be my go-to lip color this spring 2017 season. Love!

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine hydrating sheer lipstick Noir Moderne

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Noir Moderne lipstick is a vampy, deep, dark purple hue which is easy to wear since it is sheer. For me, this will be my nighttime lipstick this spring 2017. It will also work well at fashion week in New York. If you like to take chances with your daytime makeup, Noir Moderne lipstick will be a fun lip color to wear during the day this spring 2017 season. I love this color!

So there they are! The new lipstick colors from Chanel for spring 2017. What do you think of Beige Dore and Noir Moderne? Will you be rocking these colors this spring 2017 season? I plan to wear them often! Beige Dore will be my daily go-to lipstick; it already has turned out to be!

You can find the spring 2017 beauty collection by Chanel online here. You can find Chanel’s spring 2017 lipstick online here.

Stay tuned! I will start reviewing Chanel’s spring 2017 nail polish colors next week! They are a-ma-zing!


Diorific Splendor nail polish by Dior for the 2016 holidays

Dior’s Diorific Splendor nail polish is a sparkling, beautiful red nail color from the Dior 2016 holiday beauty collection. This sparkling red hue has proven to be popular as the limited edition color has sold out of most retailers. Thankfully, you can still find it in stock online here.

Red is a classic, holiday nail polish color which most nail polish fans come to expect to see every holiday season. Although Splendor by Dior is a red nail polish introduced for the holidays, there isn’t’ anything cliche about this hue. It is sparkling, vivid, and unique. Love!

I tested out Diorific Splendor nail polish with one base coat, and two coats of color. I did not use a top coat. The nail polish lasted a full week before I needed to remove it due to nail growth. I love the pretty red hue of this polish, and the festive vibe the understated sparkles emit. That is the key word here, “understated.”

The sparkles in Diorific Splendor are not loud. They are quiet sparkles which add just enough of a party to the polish, without overwhelming the pretty red hue of the polish. Love that! So when I say understated, I mean perfect. 😉

Diorific Splendor nail polish is limited edition, and it is selling out fast! You can still find it online here, but hurry if you want to add it to your collection! It will not last long.
