**REVIEW** Skin & Lab - Vitamin C Cream

Hellooo! 

Just a quick update- I have now just started university at Manchester (YAY, I made it in!) and wow, living off student loan is so difficult but enjoying every moment here! 

Long time no speak! I hope you've all been doing well! 
I have recently made a purchase for the skin & lab vitamin C brightening cream as my skin has been looking a little dull lately and wanted to re-vamp it! Before purchasing this product I have realized that there aren't many reviews on it, yet it seems like a reasonably popular product so for you guys reading I hope this becomes of use! ^^ 

First off I would like to say that I really do find the packinging very attractive. It looks so 'clean' with it's reflective boxing and not overly cluttered like a lot of product packaging I have seen. 




A bit of the info and details on the back, for whoever wants to read it ...


I would love to say a big thank you for all the free samples they gave me, which included most of the skin & lab line! Looking forward to trying them out! 
This is pretty much the same as the picture above but not as zoomed in ...
hmm, makes me wonder why i bothered inserting this picture too ...
As you can see, the consistency is gel-like and water based, so for that matter it was not moisturizing for the skin, especially my skin which is dry. I had to use something over it after applied. 
As you rub it in, the product is absorbed very quickly into the skin and does not leave any film as a lot of gel creams do.


So to conclude
Moister for me is the most important thing for my skin so as stated above, it was not moisturizing enough , so I don't recommend it for those with dryer skin types unless you want to use a moisturizer over it but in my case I didn't like doing that. Also, the gel was not unscented. It smelt like those disinfectant wash cloths you get at restaurants (do you know what i mean?)... It didn't bother me too much because once it absorbed into the skin I couldn't smell it anymore.
 As for brightening effects, I definitely saw a difference after I used it for a week. My skin was noticeably brighter and not as dull.
Be Careful - when using this product and/or any other brightening/whitening products be sure to keep your skin protected with sun block of SPF15 or more as the products reduce the production of melanin in the skin and upon expose to sun rays it would make your skin more prone to damage of the skin cells, eg, dark spots.

- Speak soon !

Garnier Ultimate Blends - Delicate Oat Milk Lotion - Review

HiHi!  We are back again with the Garnier's ultimate blends collection!  I've recently joined Bzzagent and if you don't know, they are a distrubution company that sends products for people to try and review. My first skincare delivery was this Oat milk lotion and body cream by Garnier. So... What did I think of it? Well, when I first pumped some of the lotion onto my hand it seemed very thick but this didn't dishearten me since my skin is dry! To my surprise, it was very silky upon application and quick to adsorb too! After a week of using this lotion I would say overall my skin was noticeably more moist and softer!  The only downfalls to this product is that I normally use Vaseline's body cream which has a much thinner consistency, which makes it quick and easy to apply, however as I mentioned earlier the lotion has quite a thick consistency meaning that I would have to massage the cream in for longer than usual. Also, I was a walking candle; the fragran...

Wonder Pore Freshner & It's Skin Serums *REVIEW*

Hellloooo~  I've recently made some purchases from RoseRoseShop . This is my third time ordering from there and I recommended you visit! Everything always goes so smoothly and shipping is relatively quick!  I would like to share my thoughts and opinions on some of the items. 4 Serums from it's skin, wonder pore toner & face masks All wrapped up safely  It's Skin Power formula 30 ml (from left to right) - GF Effector, CO Effector, VC Effector, WH Effector GF Effector CO Effector VC Effector WH Effector Volume markings - I guess it's used to help you to figure out how much you have left? Although, I personally think it's there for decoration. It comes with a squeezy bulb as it's a pipette. Remind me of a pacifier *How cute*~ This is the first one I tried.  I've never really invested much on serums since my skin is still rather young and not quite fully mature yet. The funniest time was wh...
