Hi everyone,

retail_therapy tagged me on to do this, so here goes...

What's your favourite make up look?

I think my all time favourite makeup look would have to be the smokey eye. I seem to do it in every colour and in many intensities and I love how it can make a look more sophisticated.

Do you have a beauty vice?

I think it's buying polishes I love and then coming home and finding outr I already have a colour very similar to the one I just bought.

What part of your body do you love?

My eyes ;)

Who is your beauty icon?

I think I have the classics everyone has (Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe etc.) but from the "new" generation I have different women I look at for different looks.
I think for natural beauty it would be Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Aniston & Jessica Biel.
For a sexy girl next door beauty it would be Kate Beckinsale, Keira Knightly & Kate Hudson.
For a sex bomb it would be Kim Kardashian, Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox.
For a quirky beauty it would be Lacey Mae Schwimmer, Gwen Stefani and Pink.
For a "new classic" I look at Victoria Beckham and Kate Winslet.
Beautiful models who inspire me would be women like Fernanda Tavares, Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, Helena Christensen, Christy Turlington, Natalia Vodianova, Daria Werbowy, Tiiu Kuik, Mila Jovovich, Sasha Pivovarova and Linda Evangelista.

What beauty product makes you feel instantly sexy?

False eyelashes!

How do you look after your skin?

I wake up and wash my face, I then moisturize (with a product that contains a SPF and if it's summer and I'm planning to go out I'll reapply an SPF product every 2 hours or so). I tend keep moisturizing during the day if I'm home.... I keep playing with my makeup, adding a lipbalm for a morning trip to the store, then mascara and some lipgloss if I'm going to see one of the girls. If I'm meeting friends I add a primer and tinted moisturizer (or foundation) and concealer with a lipcolour. If it's a dinner thing and I'm eating out it's a semi full face of makeup and if I have a night out I go full out. I always have under eye brightner with me so I tend to add that but also have a moisturizer with me to add for a glow or some extra moisture.
When I'm working or going to school I usually come home and take of my makeup and then apply a moisturizer to help it restore from all the damage from the airco. I use a face mask twice a week.
At night I take off all my makeup and usually I scrub my face with a light scub that is made for daily use, simply because at night the skin repairs itsself and I want my nightcream to enter my skin without all the dead skincells blocking it.

What is your signature scent?

I have not one signature scent, I wear many depending on the time of year and my mood, where I'm going, who I'm going with and the time of day. The scents I ALWAYS have at home and if I start to run out of rebuy immediately are CK one, Kenzo Flower, Guccy Envy and Armani Eau de Parfum Spray Elle.

What are your hair care secrets?

Olive Oil masks are my secret. Another thing is don't wash it every day, use a good shampoo and conditioner and when you have curly hair like me, the Bumble and Bumble leave in conditioner is a heavenly product that helps keep it shiney and healthy and keeps the frizz at bay.

How do you pamper yourself?

I've never been to a spa (even though I do want to go one day ;) ) I've never had a pedicure or manicure and I don't think I'd ever let anyone do it without me judging everything they do. I'm a control freak and I'd like to believe that I know enough to have a right to an opinion. So I pamper myself with baths with (cheap but very good) Sephora fizzy bath salts, Dermalogica Masks, Elizabeth Arden Eyecream, Dior Creams, Shiseido Creams, Bliss soaps, foreign magazines, makeup I import, etc etc. I've added little pamper moments in every day to give me little relaxing moments preventing me from stressing out completely.

What is your beauty pet peeve?

Unkempt brows, 9 long nails and then one short one (please just make them all shorter then or use a false one on the shorter nail), bleeding lipstick, toilet refresher parfum and dirty teeth.

What would your desert island must haves be?

Uhhmmm... a boat, a sattelite phone.... water and food.
Not the answer you were looking for? Okay, then sunscreen, a parasol, a tent, bug repellant, a good book and a strong man to save me ;) .
Still not the answer you wanted? Sunscreen, Prevage eyecream, Estee Lauder Daywear Plus, mirror, primer, concealer, 8 hour cream, Lemon and Sage bodybutter (by Bliss), tweezers, nailfile, eyelashcurler, Redken Shampoo and Conditioner for curly hair.

Finally, do you have a beauty philosophy?

If you don't take care of your skin, you will never look your best.

I'd like to tag sofi, MartiniLush, Iveenia, Ellenora, anabj, hyzenthlay20 and everyone reading this to do this tag if you haven't already. Also after you've done this tag, be so kind and add the link to your Tag-post in the comments here to that people who read this and are looking for more can find you.

Food that's good for your skin

Survey: The best of 2008 Skincare

CCee — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 04:48:43 -0800

Hi everyone, I was thinking about 2008 and what I personally remember as great brands and products and I was wondering if you guys share my opinion or have a completely different one.

So here goes.
What is your favourite brand of skincare?

It's not just the favourite moisturizer or serum, but of which brand do you actually love the most products. So if you use a Bliss eyecream like me but all Dermalogica masks and scrubs, then choose Dermalogica.

MD Skincare

CCee — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 06:54:38 -0700

Hi everyone,

Here is another skincare blog. I've been getting lot's of Dr Brandt and MD skincare testers with online purchases lately which actually made me buy some yesterday and today the package came (quick huh!). I've got a Glamour GoldCard and that gave me a 25% discount which actually didn't work the first time (error on their side), but they made it up to me with lots of testers. I wanted to show you what I got, but I'm not actually trying it right now I need to finish all my open skincare products first otherwise I'll just keep building and building on my collection and never actually seeing the bottom of my drawer again. And the bottom of my drawer is so cute with the white and yellow stripes .
MD skincare is known for dermatologist results without a prescription. And if you want to see interviews and reviews, click here for some clips that are available on their website.

Here is a picture of what I bought:

I actually only bought the Intense Hydra Mask and the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel 2 step system. The rest is all the testers they gave me. So I'm extatic and sooo want to try it out right now.

Let me explain what it actually is and what it does.
The big box is the MD Skincare (by Dr. Dennis Gross) Intense Hydra Mask.
I bought this because it's supposed to leave dry, dehydrated skin immediately plumper, smoother and younger-looking. Step 1 contains a pure Hyaluronic Gel with a cocktail of antioxidants that plumps trouble areas, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles caused by dehydration. Step 2 is a self-heating Vitamin C mask that increases circulation and forces antioxidants and collagen-stimulating ingredients deep into the skin.
You can listen to a podcast from Dr. Dennis Gross giving you the inside scoop on this product here

The round box is the Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel 2-step system
You can actually see a clip of a woman getting the face peel by Dr. Gross here. You can actually see how much dirt and makeup was still on her face after cleansing. After seeing this video I knew I had to get this because I'm a clean skin freak.
I bought the smaller one for 30 applications because it is very expensive and I want to be sure I love it before actually buying the 60 application set. I read about this in Allure and InStyle and I'm seriously very curious about what it does on my skin.
The explanation the website gives is that it's an easy 2-step system that gives you a highly developed skincare regimen plus Microexfoliation™- without recovery time. Microexfoliation™ is a gentle, non–irritating method of removing cellular debris from the surface of the skin, resulting in a smoother, firmer more even complexion. MD Skincare® Alpha Beta® Daily Face Peel yields results far superior to other methods of exfoliation. Significant, notable and lasting improvement is achieved through daily use – maintain a luminous look all day long.

Here are the explanations on the testers I also got:
All-in-one Facial Cleanser with Toner.
Dr. Gross: "Many cleansers do more harm than good by throwing your skin out of balance: sensitive skin gets too dry, oily skin too greasy. This unique cleanser contains a gentle toner and built-in makeup remover, so you don’t challenge your skin with excessive steps." Listen to Dr. Gross about the product here
This cleaner is supposed to give a gentle yet thorough cleanser not only removing dirt, stubborn makeup, and excess oil, but tones at the same time. Natural Witch Hazel does the toning, without stripping the skin, while Chamomile soothes, and Vitamin E restores and protects skin’s natural moisture barrier. Designed for all ages and skin types, even the most sensitive, and perfect for everyday use.

Auto-Balancing Moisture Sunscreen SPF 10
Dr. Gross: "It's hard for people with normal, oily, or combination skin to find a moisturizer that doesn’t go overboard – that doesn't block oil glands, cause acne or large pores. This moisturizer is perfect for those skins. Its advanced technology knows where to add moisture and where to control it." Listen to Dr. Gross about this product here

Maximum Moisture Treatment
Dr. Gross: “Maximum Moisture Treatment soothes all skin types, restoring a healthy moisture balance by pulling moisture from the environment, while providing skin-saving antioxidant vitamins and nutrients.”

Hydra-pure Antioxidant Firming Serum
Hydra-Pure® Antioxidant Firming Serum contains 14 collagen-building ingredients in one product. Multiple active ingredients penetrate the skin, through a micro-encapsulated delivery system, to literally resurface the skin by intensifying the delivery of all ingredients. Listen to Dr. Gross talk about this product here.

Powerful Sun Protection SPF 30 Sunscreen Packettes
I read about this in Glamour and got my hands on a tester this summer. This really is sooo handy to have in your bag for when you and your friends all of a sudden deside to go out for drinks on a terras and your normal sunscreen isn't strong enough for hours in a burning sun. You just slip one of these in your bag and forget about it untill the happy occasion arrives and then you're the one who doesn't have a red nose the next day
Dr. Gross about the product: “As a dermatologist, I know people won't use sun protection unless it's easy. So I developed these convenient to carry, easy to use pads. perfect for application on the run and for hard to reach areas like the ears and hair line. I will always add new ingredients to an existing product whenever bonified scientific research supports its improved effectiveness. For those of you that have been using this prodcut you will see I have done just that with this formula.” For more, listen here

Hydra-pure Vitamin C serum
I actually read about this in a Harper's Bazaar not that long ago, so I'm really curious about using this. I only have one tester packet and I will probably use it on a Sunday when I'm using all Dr. Gross products.
Dr. Gross: “By combining the benefits of the Hydra-Pure Chelating Complex® with multiple forms of Vitamin C working on all layers of the skin, density is improved and lines and wrinkles are diminished while simultaneously slowing the future aging process.” Listen to him talk about the serum here

6 different colour testers of All-in-one Tinted Moisturizer Sunscreen SPF 15
Dr. Gross talks about his product: "This is truly a multi-tasking product. Less is better in terms of the number of products to use on the skin. That is why we combine a moisturizer with a sunscreen and tint. You don't need multiple layers on your skin." for more information (or if you think his voice is sexy listen here
I actually got 6 different colours, so I think I'll use the lightest three, and I'm giving my mum the medium tined one. I have a good friend who will probably get the darkest colour.

Now I will try this out, and I will tell you all what I think in time. But I was soooo happy about all of this, that I wanted to tell you about it first.

My skincare regimen (September 5, 2008)

CCee — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 05:34:47 -0700

Bluesuze wanted to know my skincare regimen. The products I use etc. So here it is...I took all my skincare products out of my drawer.... and it is a lot, but most of the Clinique are small versions you buy in sets. So it does look like more... It also looks like I'm happy with everything, I am almost happy with everything I have here, if I'm not happy I give it to a friend who might like it, or I trow it away if it's really bad.

NEUTROGENA

Products in this picture:

Neutrogena PureGlow Daily Cleansing Cusions
Neutrogena PureGlow Microdermabrasion System
Neutrogena PureGlow Glowing SummerSkin Moisturiser
Neutrogena PureGlow Eyecream

PureGlow
I use these products most lately.
The Cleansing Cushions are great for mornings to quickly and thoroughly cleanse whilst scrubbing dead skin cells lightly away. The Microdermabrasion System is usually a Sunday ritual for me, I wash beforehand and moisturise with either the gel dermalogica mask (I'll tell more about that later) or a moisture refilling moisturiser. Not an oily moisturiser because I want my skin to breathe in the summer. In the winter I would use Superdefence (which I'll talk about more later as well).
The SummerSkin moisturiser builds a slight summer colour and lately I've been kinda pale so this gives a nice colour without looking fake or blotchy.
The Eyecream is one I bought to get the face complete when using one type of product, but for some reason I don't use it that much, it's not that I don't like it or that it doesn't feel good. I've just been not using it so much.

Products in this picture:

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Toner
Neutrogena Visibly Clear Moisturiser
Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2 in 1 Masque
Neutrogena Visibly Clear Daily Peeling

Visibly Clear
I use the Daily Peeling on days before my period and when my skin suddenly had breakouts, this cleans up my skin quickly and without much hassle. I don't use those sticks that you put on pimples etc. because they don't work on me and I've heard of a better way that works just as well on me. I stick a Q-tip in some mouthwash and patt that on the blemish. This kills bacteria and doesn't give a layer of muck on my face that looks strange. I use the 2 in 1 Masque as a mask and as a face wash. If you use it with water it's a facewash, if you use it on a cleansed face and let it dry on your skin it's a mask that absorbs oils and dirt. After cleansing I use the Toner to close the pores and Moisturiser to feed my skin. I tend to use the StriVectin eye cream on my eyes on days like this to give it a little extra care.

Products in this picture:

Neutrogena Deep Clean (creamy washgel)
Neutrogena PureGlow Daily Warmactive Peeling
Neutrogena PureGlow Moisture For Glowing Skin

Neutrogena
On some normal days when I've been wearing a lot of makeup or I've been playing in the dirt with my friend's kid etc. I tend to use this cleanser because it cleans very well but is not hard on your skin. If you want to, you can use a face brush with this to give it a scrubbing effect.
The Daily Warmactive Peeling is something I love when taking a bath... it warms up when it hits a wet face and scrubs it clean. I love massaging my face with this.
The Moisturiser for Glowing skin has gold glimmer in it, so I tend to not use it on my face, but only on my decollete. Sometimes a hint on my cheekbones when I'm not wearing makeup.

MISC

Products in this Picture:

Sephora 25 makeup removing wipes
Dior Duo-phase eye makeup remover
Diadermine Soft Mousse Cleanser
Sephora Dry Skin Soothing Toner
Sephora Ultimate Relaxation Cream

Easy night regime
On some days I just don't feel like taking of my makeup and I use the Wipes to take off all my makeup and then use the Toner to take off the leftover residue, moisturise and go to bed.
Most days I do take a little more time and I take of most of my foundation and makeup with the wipes. Then I use the Dior makeup remover to clean my waterline (when using waterproof eyeliner, remember to clean the waterline) and the mascara that's usually still there a little.
I then cleanse thoroughly with warm water using the Diadermine Soft Mousse Cleanser, using warm water and a washcloth so take off the soap.
I love giving my face a massage with the Ultimate Relaxation Cream and use the StiVectin on my eyes before bed.

DERMALOGICA

Products in this picture:

Dermalogica Contour Masque (for Professional use)
Dermalogica Skin Refining Masque
Dermalogica Intensive Moisture Masque
Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque
Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque
Dermalogica Skin Prep Scrub
Dermalogica Sheer Tint Moisture in Medium with 15 SPF

Dermalogica Masks
Before placing a mask on my face, I always scrub first, when using the dermalogica masks I use their scrub as well (I don't know exactly why, another scrub would scrub just as well, but well, with some things I like to stay within brand).
I use the Contour Mask usually after I've had my period, for some reason my skin is different at that time and this pampering (even though it looks and feels horrible) has great results.
I use the Skin Refining mask on days when my skin feels oily, the Intensive Moisture Mask on flaky skin, the Skin Hydrating mask is very soft and is great when your skin is extra sensitive and can be used on your eyes. The Multivitamin Power Recovery mask does what it says, it is great after a night out on the town when you need to look decent again the next day.
But my skin is a little annoying at times and gives me an oily nose and chin, a dry and flaky forehead, dry cheeks etc etc. So I'm known to put one mask on my eyes, another on my nose, another on my cheeks etc etc. Don't forget when using a mask that your neck gets almost the same abuse your face gets and give that part of your body some TLC as well.
When I've been pampered enough, I just put some sheer tint moisture on my skin to give it a little pick me up and it has SPF which is also a must after you've scrubbed.

BLISS

Products in this Picture:

Bliss Sleeping Peel Cleansing Cream
Bliss Sleeping Peel Age minimizing eye gel
Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing mask (not pictured)
Bliss Thinny Thin Chin
Benefit Firmology

Blissfully addictive
I LOVE Bliss, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bliss, it's always used up very quickly and I decided a while back to first use up all my Clinique products before buying more Bliss. Otherwise it's just a shame to have stuff that you don't use as much or love as much and as you can tell, I have a lot of skincare products.
The Sleeping Peel Cleansing Cream is great, your skin looks clean, feels clean, but not tight like it does when you use soap. It also doesn't feel harsh on your skin, it just feels clean and nice.
The age minimizing eye gel is amazing, it has something in it that in one night really feeds the skin around your eyes and brightens them for the next day.
The Triple Oxygen Mask is something that has known a lot of reviews, from people saying it doesn't do anything to people saying it's a lifesaver. Well, I'd say if you want a lifesaver, get the Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque. But on nights when I go out partying, I tend to use this mask beforehand. It froths and bubbles and it tingles and it makes ma happy. Also my skin always looks radiant the entire night and the next day I don't look all warn out.
I've recently bought the Thinny Thin Chin, and I crave the smell of it when after half an hour you don't smell it anymore. It feels great to know I've got a product for my neck and decollete, but if it actually works, I don't know yet, I haven't used it long enough to give my opinion.
The Firmology is great. It really feels like it tightens the skin for the day and it has an illuminating something in it I think, because my skin looks radiant when I've put it on.

MISC 2

Products in this picture:

StriVectin-SD Intensive Concentrate for Existing Stretch Marks
StriVectin-SD Eye Cream
Evian Brumisateur (facial spray)
Sephora Immediate Wrinkle Filler
Lancome HydraZen (Soothing anti-stress moisturising cream)
Sephora Nourishing Lip Balm
Bourjois Night Lip Balm
Bourjois Nourishing Lip Balm
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant
Diadermine NovaLift Anti-Age Set (*Thermopeeling *Anti age treatment)

Little life savers
As most of you probably know the StriVectin-SD Intensive Concentrate for Existing Stretch Marks is actually made for Stretch Marks, but when the product was tested there where no instructions for it and there was no name that gave away where to put it. So when they got all the responses about the way it took away women's wrinkles they used that in their marketing. So it really is great for your skin, it smells menthol like, so using it around your eyes makes them water. Which meant they made the same product only without the menthol for your eyes and named it StriVectin-SD Eye Cream. I love both of these on days when my skin is in need of some saving, when I'm in places that have airco etc. In those places I also always use Evian Brumisateur (facial spray) for a little wake up call to my skin.
You've probably noticed that I use Sephora Immediate Wrinkle Filler almost all days under my eyes. I love the way it feels and it keeps colour from seeping into the fine wrinkles thereby making them look less apparent.
I have a small jar of Lancome HydraZen in my car at all times... this is great for long rides when you have either the heat or the airco on.
On my lips I use Sephora Nourishing Lip Balm for daywear because it has SPF. I use the Bourjois Night Lip Balm at night and the Bourjois Nourishing Lip Balm if I want a little sparkly care for the day.
Of course I have a tube of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant (I have two actually, I have one to spare in my "spares" drawer where I have seconds of things I really can't live without. This is great on eyes when you want them shiney, or on lips when they are dry. You can use them on scrapes, minor burns. It's amazing.
I have been given Diadermine NovaLift Anti-Age Set (*Thermopeeling *Anti age treatment) and I have used it and the scrub feels amazing, but the treatment moisturizer is too much for my skin, I actually start to sweat immediately after applying it and untill it's all off I keep sweating. So not for me.

CLINIQUE

Products in this picture:

Clinique Superdefense Triple action moisturiser with SPF

Clinique 7 day scrub cream

Clinique Liquid facial soap

Clinique Rinse-off foaming cleanser

Clinique Turnaround Concentrate

Clinique Turnaround 15 minute facial

Clinique part one
I can never walk by a box of Clinique minis and that is how I got so many minis.
I love the Superdefense on days when my skin needs something to protect it (when it's raining, very cold or very sunny), it soaks in very quick and you know it works all day. I use the 7 day scrub sometimes mixed with the facial soap to clean my skin very thoughoughly, but the facial soap does tend to make my skin feel 1 size too small for my face. So I prefer the Rinse-off foaming cleanser, using it with a brush to add a little scrub sometimes. The Turnaround selection is amazing, if you're young and want to try something that will make your skin feel new, try this facial and concentrate. I love this stuff and on days when my skin is super sensitive (after too much time outside in the sun without applying extra sunscreen when we're BBQ-ing or something) this really makes my skin feel a lot better.

Products in this picture:

Clinique Dramatically Diferent Moisturising lotion

Clinique Pore Minimizer Refining Serum

Clinique Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector

Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief

Clinique All about eyes rich

Clinique Repairwear Intensive Night Cream

Clinique Repairwear Deep Wrinkle Concentrate For Face and Eyes

Clinique Intensive Eye Cream

Clinique part two
I think everyone should at one time try Dramatically Diferent Moisturising lotion, you can even use it on your eyes, it soaks in and leaves your skin moisturised for the rest of the day. I've only been using other products as Moisturiser the ast 3 years because you're supposed to start with the first anti-wrinkle treatment at 25 and well I don't feel like the Dramatically Different is an anti wrinkle lotion.
The Pore Minimizer Refining Serum and Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector are great for when you have notisable pores. The perfector looks like a concealer and makes pores look smaller. I sometimes use this when I've been too close to the magnifying mirror and after a while I use the normal things again.
When on holiday to warm countries I always pack Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief and All about eyes rich simply because nothing gives more moisture. It soaks in the skin and the entire day your skin feels moisturised. If I use it at home (it's more humid here) I have a "wet" feel the entire day, but on holiday, it's amazing!
I've been using the Clinique Repairwear Intensive Night Cream, Deep Wrinkle Concentrate For Face and Eyes and Intensive Eye Cream a lot for about two weeks now. Almost every night I put this on my face to repair and heal. I'm very stressed at the moment and that leads to me caring more for my skin, hoping at least I look good.

Products in this picture:

Clinique City Block Sheer 25 SPF Oil-Free Daily Face Protector

Clinique Continuous Resque Antioxidant Moisturiser

Clinique Clarifying Moisture Lotion

Clinique part 3
Before I bought the Sephora Toner I always used the Clinique Clarifying Moisture Lotion, I just felt like this is a place where I could save money and the Sephora one is doing a great job.
I bought the Clinique Continuous Resque Antioxidant Moisturiser as soon as it was on the market here and I've used it sooo much that the tube is almost empty. I have an extra one ready for it. This is amazing on days when you just want to wake up, throw some water on your face, moisturise, get in your sweats and sit in front of the TV watching all episodes of Heroes, LOST, Kitchen Confidential, The 4400, thatever takes your fancy. It's amazing for daily use and I love mixing up my moisturisers and still use it frequently.
I try to use Clinique City Block Sheer 25 SPF Oil-Free Daily Face Protector every day, sometimes when I think I won't go out that day I don't and when I have moisturisers that have SPF I skip it as well, but otherwise I use this.

Dior Capture Totale Rituel Nuit (Multi-perfection nighttime soft peel)

Dior Capture XR 60/80 Extra Vital Restoring Serum

Dior Capture R60/80 Ultimate Wrinkle Creme

Dior Capture R60/80 First Wrinkles Smoothing Eye Creme

Dior Capture R60/80 Nuit Enriched Wrinkle Night Creme

Dior Hydra Action Deep Hydrating Sorbet Creme

Diorskin Icone 001 Photo Perfect Creme to Powder makeup SPF 10

Dior
Now I love Dior, but it's not always allowed by my budget. I once bought the big Wrinkle Creme in a white etui and it came with a lot of testers and goodies, so every time there is a Dior day I go over there, buy a lipgloss or palette and BEG for more Dior testers.
A tester is the Dior Capture Totale Rituel Nuit (Multi-perfection nighttime soft peel) which you put on before you go to bed and you wake up with a soft silky face. I use the Extra Vital Restoring Serum after cleansing masks to give my skin something sweet. I have the big jar of Ultimate Wrinkle Creme and it really is a life saver, my skin reacts so beautifully to this creme that it's worth every penny. I have a First Wrinkles Smoothing Eye Creme that my mum gave me around new years and I love it. The thing is, because it is so expensive I don't use it daily simply because I don't want it to be an empty jar one day. When I've had a day of Dior, I give myself also a night of Dior using Nuit Enriched Wrinkle Night Creme. I have a mini jar of HydraAction Deep Hydrating Sorbet Creme and it's moisurising and smells nice and it's like the Moisture surge from Clinique, amazingly moist. On days my skin looks amazing I use Diorskin Icone 001 Photo Perfect Creme to Powder makeup SPF 10 as a foundation because it's a clear foundation so no colour, only the matteness and base of a foundation.

POWER MASKS

Diadermine (Wrinkle) Expert 3D Eye Pads

Sephora Power Mask Ionic Eye Mask

Sephora Power Mask Hydrogel Eye Mask

Sephora Power Mask Hydrogel Face Mask

Extra skinsavers
The Diadermine Eye Pads really make my wrinkles vanish. So on days when I need to look awake I put my alarm 20 minutes early clean my skin grab these and then go back to bed for 20 minutes of rest and then when I get out of bed I look awake ;)
I also recently got these Power Masks that intrequed me. They are very easy to use, but no really amazing difference afterwards.

Sooo, here is everything I use and why and how.... I hope you guys haven't fallen asleep by now.
