I love opening a new jar of face cream. ⠀⠀
It’s mini season, and by that I mean, it’s the time to open gift sets, buy gift sets, and enjoy gift sets. Over the years, nothing has made my friends happier than receiving a brand new jar of the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream, even those friends who said they didn’t see the attraction, loved getting it for Christmas! I’ll be the first to say that the texture is a bit like Nivea, and it’s almost like using an old-school cold cream. I have no doubt that was the inspiration for. the Magic Cream and it works well if you use it with that in mind. This is not a heavy moisturizer like a Cerave Healing Ointment, but it’s a good water/oil emulsion that works under makeup, which is what it’s made for. I use it at night. I also sometimes mix my retinoid into it and use it on my hands. I go through phases where I use the light version. I think the brand should actually come out with a thick and heavy version too, because that’s what all of us who use prescription retinoids need. If you have one of these – use it! Don’t hoard it. ⠀⠀
Also, all Charlotte Tilbury is 25% off on their website from now until Dec. 3, so shop until your heart’s content. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the hair – I’m trying out this Milbon weekly hair booster because my hair cannot handle winter. Sometimes I think I should stop it with the highlights, but then when I see old pictures without the highlights, I just know that I like the highlights so much better. The Milbon is so smoothing – this is a Japanese brand, and I got my treatments as a gift from my hair stylist to try it. I would rebuy them. I also like that the little packets are easy to travel with so that is always a win. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sampling right now: iris perfumes, but we are always into iris, aren’t we? I am. Iris Perle by Les Indemodables and MeltMyHeart by StrangeloveNYC are what have been taking up space in my brain. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are people getting from the Black Friday sales?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
