Sephora Haul~**

Did you take an advantage of Sephora VIB Holiday Shopping Event which gives you 20% off your entire purchase from NOv 11-15? I have been waiting for this annual discount for so long to try a few pricey skincare products so this is absolutely a good time to do so. Here is a code for online shopping if you do not have one already "VIB20". You can use it as many times as you desire. I went to store and snapped a few items.

Skincare products are the number one thing I am willing to spurge no matter how much they cost. You really do not need a lot of makeup as long as you have healthy looking skin in my opinion. I am quite a skincare junkie myself because I have tried tons of skincare products on the market from drugstore to high-end brands. There are certain brands I like more than another but I haven't found the "one" yet. I have high hope on these Dior products especially Dior Capture Totale which costs $125. By far this is the most expensive skincare item I have ever purchased so it should work as what it claims to do.

Capture Totale perfects the skin by correcting all visible signs of aging. The specialized formulas treat wrinkles, loss of firmness, dark spots, and lackluster skin. Its powerful, patented Alpha-Longoza™ complex helps prevent the breakdown of 20 biological components, such as elastic fibers and collagen, that define youthful skin. Simultaneously, Centuline™ preserves the skin's vitality and youthful appearance. Within 30 days, skin will appear smoother, firmer, and more radiant.Another line I purchased is Dior Hydra Life: The Hydra Life formulas feature a trio of plant extracts straight from Dior's gardens. Jisten, black rose, and centella help hydrate and fight oxidation. The fresh combination of ingredients builds collagen for a radiant, youthful appearance. Sounds amazing, isn't it? We shall see about that.


Dior Hydra Life - since I couldn't decide which line to get, I went ahead and buy both. The Hydra Life formulas feature a trio of plant extracts straight from Dior's gardens. Jisten, black rose, and centella help hydrate and fight oxidation. The fresh combination of ingredients builds collagen for a radiant, youthful appearance.



As soon as I thought I was done damaging my wallet, I spotted this little primer while standing in line to check out. I had to blame it all on my curiousity and naughty hand for reaching out. OH - MY - GOD, it truly is AMAZING. I was thrilled. It absorbs quickly and leaves skin with super duper soft, light and velvetly. I tried a couple of samples from other brands before but none of them feels as good as this one. I ended up not getting it but plan on purchasing it along with a few more items online.

It's pretty cold to night and a cup of chicken noodle soup sounded really good to me. That's what I made for dinner to night.

Load it up with organic veggies goodness - babeyyyy!

And add some more protine and fiber punch in that soup

Pom Pom..Pomegranate

  11. I will sure do an update around mid December. My experiment will include two items at this time: the Hydra Life eye cream and the Capture Totale . As for the latter product, it claims that the result can be seen in 30 days. If I am bold and brave enough to show my large pores and dark spots, I may post before and after pictures too.
