L'Oreal RevitaLift, The Verdict

.
1 comments

Good Evening Lovelies,

I have taken ages to tell you all about what I think of the L'Oreal RevitaLift night cream and under-eye cream. I did that just to be sure of my verdict.

Am going to try and make this post short, sweet, & to the point :)

Let me start with the eye cream, seriously, WOOOW.
I mean, I love it, love it, love it. First things first, I really like the texture, it is easily absorbed under my sensitive delicate eye. It doesn't sting my eye. I have tried several other products and they all seem to burn under my eye after cleansing (washing or using make-up remover). I came across some creams that feel like you have applied Tabasco right under your eyes. I can't remember the name of that La Prairie under eye cream sample I had before. It was horrible, I had to run to the bathroom to wash my eyes and it still wouldn't stop burning! So the L'Oreal is very gentle.

Now to the most important part, Does it really work? is it really a mini-eye lift in a tiny jar. drum roll please.......


YES IT DOES. I have some crow feet looking skin when I smile on the sides of my under eye area. It is mostly from de-hydration & laziness. But, they are about 80% gone now in a little over 3 weeks. 
This wrinkle smoothing effect I have ONLY experienced once before with the Lierac Serum I have talked about here. The best part is, L'Oreal is only 1/4 of the price. yaaaay :D

So the effects for me where smooooothing, hydrating, & healthy looking under eye area. And, just because I love you guys, I am going to tell you about my mother's experience with it too :D (of course she had to try the new creams I just got back home).

For mature skin, it is very effective. Actually the real results of this cream appears on more problematic skin types. My mum is 47, & has a very healthy life style, but there is no escape of the dreadful wrinkles & ageing.
So she tries it for the same 3 weeks I did, and she noticed very visible changes.
Her under-eye is more smooth looking, less crow feet, with a fuller/tighter skin appearance look. 
Not just that, I caught her the other day applying the EYE cream on her expression lines (around her mouth & on her forehead) and she LOOOVVEESSS it. she swears it's very effective, and I have to tell you, the results are very noticeable.

Bottom line, BUY THE EYE CREAM. it is so worth the price. My only comment is that I think this will only be a winter under-eye cream for me. It kind of leaves a slight sticky feel under your eye. You can only fell that if you touch it. It really doesn't bother me though. 
There are worse, & I don't care :), it's such a small downside for all the results in return.


Moving on to the night face cream. 

This is quite lovely as well, the first thing I noticed about it is the glow. It gives my face such a lovely glow the next morning. I have noticed this after the first 2 days of using it. 
It is nicely absorbed with little residuals, & my recommendation for that is to apply it an hour before you go to bed (you don't have to though). 
Again, as with the eye cream, this is probably going to stay in my winter kit. I know that it will be heavy for my skin in the summer times to absorb. It is working perfectly now with my normal/dry winter skin :D (oily/combo in the summer :S ).

I did expect more from it though, but I think I know why it didn't do much filling or lifting for me, Why??? Because I don't need any!! But I have to say that it feels lovely on my face, very nourishing. Maybe I was expecting it to wipe out my two tiny expression lines next to my mouth (1 on each side). I know, it's stupid & doesn't show, but PERFECTION! :D :D

As with my mum, she again quite likes it. she has finished almost half of the jar :S Good for you mum :D
And yes, the results are more effective and visible for mature skin. A more filled up face, it kind of makes her look like she had a very well done mini lift and plump action.
one more thing, both creams will last you forever. If I have been using them alone, I would say around 3 months usage out of both :D

So, If you are looking for a quick fix, these two are an excellent choice. Am so happy both turned out to be that good. doesn't it feel great when you buy something and then know for sure that it's money well spent?! They do what they say, reduce the appearance of wrinkles :D

Completely random but, don't you just love these Chirstian Louboutin? I think they are to die for, aaaahhh. would you wear these? occasionally maybe? let me know :D :D


Have a happy, wrinkle free face & life & may you all have new pink shoes :D

Truly Yours,

Didilicious <3 <3 <3

I Heart Soap & Glory

.
0 comments

Hello lovelies,  I want to talk about a product's range that am sooooo in love with. It's incredible. But first, let me thank all of my new beauties. It means a lot to me that you check my pages when you can :) 


Now, Soap & Glory. A cosmetics company that has some of it's product made and tested in the UK or Switzerland. They are fairly not expensive (ranging from £ 5-14). They are sold in the UK because it's primarily and English product, but you can buy it online though. I love everything bout these cute and useful products. The packaging, the smell, the design and most importantly, the OUTCOME. 


So far, everything I tried from these goodies, does exactly what it says.
 Am going to list down the ones I bought & used and write down what I think of them.


Do you like magic? well I do.... when it comes to my face and hair :D 
Let me introduce you to "YOU WON'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES".
Really say good bye to dark circles. This is magical at how it can take those nasties away. It really is an ILLUMINATING UNDER-EYE SERUM. I can't stop with the CAPS now, it's soooo goooooddddd!!   


Simply, use it day and night. In the morning though, it could be a bit annoying to put concealer over it. It kind of drys under your eyes to a glossy rainbow colory texture thing! (see through layer, but has a bit of a colour when you move your head in the light). I don't know how to explain it, but my advise would be to use it 1st thing in the morning with your face routine. Allow it time to soak in your skin. Then just whip it off with a makeup remover 45 minutes later.  For me, I  have plenty of time before I put makeup in the morning. So when I remove the rest of the product, the goodness has already been absorbed in :D Otherwise, your all good. 
Oh, you will notice a difference after 7-9 days :D 
magic in a tube <3




My second favorite product is ....... Actually, I can't rank them from best to least favorite.
I LOVE them all equally. Am just going to write about them as they pop in my head. 


I have combination skin, and I live in a very hot & humid country (Egypt). In the summer times, it is horrifying for me to put makeup. It either will melt or shine like a 1000W light bulb. Any cream make me sweat my face skin off. Yes, it's that bad. 


Until I tried "Clear Here" daily moisture lotion. For all you combo/oily skinned. Shine awaaaaaayyy, just use it morning and night (I do prefer a slightly richer cream at night though, but you can definitely use it day & nigh) after you cleanse. 
Your face will instantly feel moisturized, tight and dry.it's such a good base for makeup too:D it's amazing, just the right amount of moisture without the heavy feeling. It promises tighter pores and a t-zone oil control. It doesn't necessarily keep your face 100 shine free, but it's a HUGE difference from other creams. Feels so fresh and Minty. (I wouldn't use it in the winter though because my face turn dry in the cold).




Since we are talking about face creams, let me tell you bout two more amazing products.




The "Make Yourself Youthful" face rejuvenating serum. 
I love this because it feels moisturizing even on it's own. I've tried some serums before, and they can be a bit drying & you really have to put face cream after. This is true, it is the case with all serums. But am just saying that with this one, you don't even have too. It feels so soft on your face. You can so feel the difference shortly. It gave my face a very radiant glow. It's like having a new youthful looking skin. Again on the package, it's recommended to use day and night. Wait about 10-15 minutes before you apply your face cream. 




The second product would be the "Glow Job". Hahahhahaha, 
Don't you just love those names?  
It does what it says, it's a face cream that has little bronzed micro bead. Those bronzing pearls come out as you squeeze, you then have to squish them between your fingers to get them to mix their color in the cream. Then put it on your pretty face. This is not a tinted moisturizer. Its kind of the same idea but with less coverage. It just give a nice color and a very nice, healthy glow to your face. It smells so fabulous too.  






Moving on to a hair conditioning mask. This one is called the "Hair Supply". 
I can't remember much bout it as I bought & used it a while ago. But I can tell you for sure I was impressed by how soft & bouncy it made my hair. I think I should have mentioned this one in my "101 to dull hair" post. http://berry-pink-diamonds.blogspot.com/2011/08/101-to-dry-dull-lifeless-hair.html 
It didn't feel heavy in my hair and was very easy to wash it off without leaving any greasy feel after.




What else, what else, mmmmmmm Oh my,
How could I forget.....................
IT ISSSSS "The Firminator"??!! 
This is it, the answer to all your prayers, all your worries about cellulite. Yep, those nasty little bump on your tights, bum, tummy, back of your arms, anywhere you could find them. This is it. 1 week using this, and your legs will look straighter, smoother and will feel waaaaay softer. Just closely examine the area you want to use this product on before and after a week examine it closely again. Smoothed out bumps! Believe me, believe me, yes please do believe me. 
It's better than many other expensive products and it's about £11. Best money EVER spent.  


 Now the next product I haven't personnally used, but my sister does all the time. Hi sis! It's called "Bright Here, Bright Now".  She swear at how moisturizing it is. And it did bright up her face. I can see that it is visibly lighter/brighter. It can be a bit heavy in the hot weather though. But once it dries on your face, there should be no problem. This sure will make your face more fair.






 Suffer from dry skin no more! The buttery feel & smell of the "Righteous Butter" body butter will leave your skin so incredibly buttery.  I feel like am making a commercial here, haha. It's amazingly moisturizing especially for those cold winter nights. 
I wouldn't use a body butter in the summer as it would feel so heavy for me. The one I have is out, this sure is on my next shopping list.



Finally, the "Arch De Triumph" eyebrow and highlighted pencil.  The highlighter is waaaaaay better than the brow side. I love using it under my brow, it gives a nice clean not shimmery highlighted/lifted brow look. I even use it in my water line sometimes as it's very creamy and doest give me a scary look when I use it inside my eyes. Thats because it has pinkish undertones to it. 


As for the brow pencil part, am now saying it's bad, it's good but it can get dry in cold weather and then you have to drag and scratch across our eyebrows to draw them. You shouldn't do that because it hurts, and it will make you brows' hair fall off. Use it in the summer times more,or just heat it slightly from far away with a lighter. 




That's all girls. I know for sure that I will try more Soap & Glory products soon. Please let me know if you have tired anything from this cosmetics range. And of course, let me know if you decide to give them a try.
I would love to hear about good results. 


May you all have young beautyfull faces forever ;)


 Yours truly, 
 Didilicious <3 <3 <3
