I cannot believe, in the fourteen years I have had this blog, I have not reviewed this face cream yet! In addition to the night cream and dark spot corrector, this is my gentle, daytime face cream. It is the best one for adding moisture when my skin is dry; which happens for me at the end of winter and well into the spring season.
A good, moisturizing face cream is imperative; especially if it includes both UVA and UVB protection. Plus, spf 30 is good perk too! The sun does so much damage to our skin, especially as us GenX-ers age! We need to protect what we have left!
ReVive has been in my beauty routine for over two decades now. I absolutely love their products and the Sensitif Renewal Cream is no exception. The daily renewal cream is great for adding moisture while protecting from the sun. Love!
I use their day cream in late winter through spring and early summer. Then, I switch to the dark spot corrector for late summer and the fall season. Love them both!
Here are my favorite products from ReVive:
*Please note: The packaging has changed for this day cream. The jar you receive may be labelled differently than the one I photographed. It is the same cream inside. The new jar says “Daily Cellular Protection” instead of “Daily Protection” and the detailed spf protection has been streamlined.
How pretty are the two nail polish colors from Dior for the summer 2024 season? Love! Dior has given us a sparkling lemon hue as well as a soft minty green for the upcoming warm weather season, and they are both beautiful!
Lemon Glow by Dior is a happy yellow nail polish with soft sparkles. This offers a slightly golden effect which is subtle and pretty. I tested out Lemon Glow with two coats of color, and one base coat. It applied evenly and offered a solid color finish.
Pastel Mint by Dior is a soft minty hue, cream nail polish. I used two coats of color and one base coat. This too offered a solid color without streaks. Dior Pastel Mint nail polish is definitely my favorite of the two for the summer season! I am always drawn to shades of blue, green, and purple nail polish.
So, without further ado, here are swatches of the two nail polish hues from Dior for summer 2024.
Dior nail polish summer 2024 | Dior Lemon Glow
Dior nail polish summer 2024 | Dior Pastel Mint
Both nail polish colors from Dior are fabulous for the summer 2024 season. Of course, as I mentioned, Pastel Mint is my favorite. I might wait until I get my summer tan to wear Dior Lemon Glow since it is such a soft yellow. They are both really pretty!
Which of the two nail polish colors are your favorite for the upcoming summer season?
I have a new obsession, Vionic shoes. You might be sitting here wondering why I am gushing over an orthopedic shoe, but hear me out.
Three years ago I hurt my hip. When that healed, I was left with Planter Fasciitis. This type of foot pain made it hard to wear most shoe styles. In order to combat the pain, my doctor had custom orthotics made for me. I was able to put them inside my sneakers, but high top sneakers and other types of shoes were tough. Instead, I found bands and arch supports I could use instead, but nothing was as perfect as the orthotics. You can read about my alternatives here.
One of my dear friends, who also suffers from Planter Fasciitis, told me she has a pair of Vionic sandals. She loves them! I was intrigued. So, I checked out the brand and found a pair of classic black loafers I could use in my life. This is where it all started.
When the Vionic black loafers arrived, I instantly noticed the insoles were removable. If the ones the shoe came with didn’t work, I could insert the ones from my doctor. Love that! Thankfully, the ones that came with the shoe felt 95% similar to the ones from my doctor. That’s a win! The one thing I noticed after wearing them was that they were slightly too big. I should have ordered a half size down.
My second pair were the ballet flats. I ordered my normal size because I figured these were shoes you wore barefoot, and they looked a little bit narrower online. They turned out to be the perfect size! This is the first pair of flats I can wear band-free and pain-free. Plus, ballet flats are on trend right now, so they are fabulous. Love!
As we move towards the spring season, I dream of soft neutral hues, wide leg pants, and white soled shoes. These golden tan loafers by Vionic with a white sole are perfect for this airy look I have inside my head. I ordered them a half size down. Perfect! They are so comfortable, and the color of the leather is fabulous. You have to see them in person. Seriously, I am OBSESSED! This is my favorite pair-by far!
Lastly, as much as I love to investment dress, I also love a good trend which mimics timeless looks. Cap toe shoes are classic and very reminiscent of Chanel’s iconic styles, plus, they are hot for spring/summer 2024! How could I resist a pair of cap toe shoes? I couldn’t. Again, I ordered this pair a half size down and they are perfect. There is a difference with the cap toe shoes. Since they are slingbacks, the orthotics are built-in instead of removable. They feel about 75% similar to the ones my doctor gave me as opposed to the removable ones which were extremely close. So, while they aren’t as perfect as the other three pairs, the slingbacks still offer arch support and keep me pain-free; which is the point.
Shoes from Vionic I own and have one my wish list:
Have you tried Vionic shoes before? What did you think? I give them five out of five stars! My one tip is to order them a half size down. They seem to run slightly large-except for the ballet flats, which I found to be true to size.
Thanks for stopping by!
