Vichy: Mineral 89 serum

Before I went on my holiday, I sowed you some new products that I brought with me for testing along the way. Now that I’m back I owe you to share my thoughts about selected products. In three upcoming posts, I’ll write my reviews and discuss the pros and cons as usual.

Let’s start with the first one today and that is Vichy Mineral 89 serum.


This serum is simply amazing! It really surprised me, because before I tried it I never understood all that fuss about it. It’s practically water for Christ's sake! What can be so great about that?

It turned out that using this makes a big difference on my skin. This product is very light, but effective because it is full of Hyaluronic acid and Vichy mineral water and it simply makes your skin ‘happier’ and hydrated without making it greasy or messing with your other skincare products. It has no fragrance, so it is suitable for sensitive skin, it absorbs quite quickly and leaves your face fresh and hydrated. It has a gel-like consistency that turns into water when applied. Just perfect and very refreshing!

My only complaint is the lack of that promised cooling effect which would be great especially now in summer, but it is ok.

I used one pump in the morning and evening, before my regular moisturizer and this extra step didn’t ‘bother’ my skin. This is part of my every day now and I will definitely be buying another yet larger bottle of it.

The packaging is very good and practical, but this serum will not last me for a long time. I used almost a third of the 30ml bottle in a week.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
