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!

Clarisonic Mia Fit review

How cute is this little Clarisonic Mia Fit in pink! I am so excited to have the opportunity to talk to you about it.

I have always washed my face using clean hands, water, face wash, and my hands. One thing I have always noticed, is that I need to exfoliate; or deep clean. I have tried using exfoliating face washes, but they never seem to leave my skin as smooth as a spa facial; and those can get expensive!

The Clarisonic Mia Fit is such a cute, small version of the large Clarisonic facial skin cleansing system, which has been in stores for years. It always looked a little bit intimating to me, which is why I never tested one out. So when I heard about the Mia Fit by Clarisonic, I was so excited to give it try! It is compact, not intimidating, and extremely easy to use. Love that!

I am so happy I had a chance to use the Clarisonic Mia Fit in pink. After one use, my skin felt as smooth and clean as after a spa facial. I could not believe it! Facials run north of $100 a pop, so it is definitely something I don’t want to do more than once a month; plus they take over an hour! Now, every time I use my cute little Mia Fit by Clarisonic, my skin glows like I just walked out of a spa!

Since I don’t wear foundation unless it is a special occasion, this is perfect for my lifestyle. I like to have a wash-and-go face. The compact size of the Mia Fit makes it easy to use daily, plus it will be easy to pack and take with me on vacation! Love!

The Clarisonic Mia Fit is part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale going on now through August 5, 2016. So for a limited time, you can grab one on sale here! Love that! You can also find the Mia Fit in more colors below. Thanks for stopping by, and stay fabulous 😉

L’Oreal Paris’ first dermatologist-inspired skincare line powered with Glycolic acid and Vitamin C is here! This is so exciting! I am really happy with the new L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Bright Reveal collection since it is perfect for helping my skin! Love!

The collection contains Glycolic Acid which is known to rejuvenate the appearance of skin and reduce discoloration through methods of exfoliation and peeling agents which ultimately help to promote radiant skin. Glycolic Acid also is known to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It also contains Vitamin C which is a natural antioxidant that helps brighten skin. Love that!

In addition to Glycolic Acid, the Brightening Dual Overnight Moisturizer and the Brightening Day Moisturizer contain Pro-Retinol that helps to improve epidermal renewal which minimizes the appearance of wrinkles, and helps to reduce uneven skin tone.

The L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Bright Reveal collection contains four products which work together to help rejuvenate skin. The collection includes the Bright Reveal Brightening Daily Scrub Cleanser, Bright Reveal Brightening Peel Pads, Bright Reveal Brightening Dual Overnight Moisturizer, and Bright Reveal Brightening Moisturizer with spf 30 broad spectrum.

My favorite product from the collection is the Bright Reveal Brightening Daily Scrub Cleanser. It gently exfoliates while washing away daily dirt and oil. My skin feels hydrated, and squeaky clean after using it. Love!

The L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Bright Reveal collection ranges in price from $6.99 to $19.99 and can be found online here, or at your local mass food and drug retailer.
