Winter 2020 skin care routine

While it isn’t quite winter yet, the drier, colder temperatures are starting to occur; which means we all need to hydrate and repair the damage done from the warmer summer, and fall months. My winter 2020 skin care routine starts now!

My tan is beginning to fade, and what is left behind is an uneven skin tone. I’m excited to use this dark spot corrector as my day cream this cold weather season. It will fade spots on my skin, reduce the size of wrinkles, and add moisture where I need it. I have been a huge fan of Revive skin care since I was 28 years old, and it has always done what I have needed it to do to my skin. Love this cream!

I started using this neck cream when I was 28, and I haven’t turned back. This neck cream by Revive is my “old faithful,” and my smooth neck is here for it. I will use this cream forever. It works wonders, and prevents aging on my neck. This is something I need as my age creeps towards that half-century mark. Yikes!

It’s hard to find eye cream with spf. Why is it so hard? There are plenty of eye creams I have used over the years, and have fallen in love with, but why do they not contain spf? This eye cream offers SPF 15, and my eyes are thanking me for it.

It isn’t just the face that needs some love during the cold winter months. This body butter, and this hand cream, add just the right amount of moisture without being greasy, slippery, or icky. Love them!

Chanel Holiday 2019 nail polish review

Chanel has gone dark for the holiday 2019 season! For the holidays 2019 season, Chanel has given us a deep, dark, almost vampy red hue named Chanel Richness. In addition to a dark holiday red, Chanel has continued on the black nail polish trend they embarked on for the autumn season, and they have given us Chanel Deepness nail polish.

Normally the holiday season gives us a cheery red hue, some sparkle, and party-ready colors. Not for the 2019 holiday season. Chanel has gone dark, and given us colors we need to add a sparkle top coat in order to turn into a party-ready hues. I highly recommend adding a sparkle top coat over these two colors, as we head into the holiday party season!

Without further ado, here are the two, dark hues Chanel has offered up for the holidays:

Black is the new black, and it needs to be on your nails. This is the current nail color trend of the moment, and Chanel has given us a version of black for the holiday season. Chanel Deepness nail polish is a dark, mysterious hue which looks fabulous in two coats of color, with one base coat and one top coat. This is a great, non-streaky formula which is long lasting, and 5-free. Love that!

Looking for a traditional red hue for the holiday season? Chanel has gone dark with their annual holiday red. Chanel Richness is a very dark red polish which was very well formulated. It goes on smoothly in two coats without streaking. I recommend using a base coat and a top coat to make it last over a week. Also love that this formula is 5-free! Yay!
