Spending some time fawning over the newest member of my @caudalie family: the Vinoperfect brightening glycolic night cream*. This cream features time release glycolic acid to regenerate skin cells overnight, papaya enzymes to exfoliate, Hyaluronic acid to plump, Shea butter to nourish, squalane to moisturize, and the Caudalie Viniferine patented vine sap extract to brighten. The cream itself it thick and rich, but not at all greasy. It absorbs almost immediately and leaves a silky soft finish. Ideal for using in the evenings, this gently exfoliates and brightens the skin overnight. I’m planning on slowly adding this into my evening routines, starting with twice a week. I’m very sensitive to any additional acids thanks to my tretinoin, but this cream seems to be gentle enough that I think it will be fine. I’ll be back in a few weeks with a full review on it! . . . . *pr gifted by @mycaudalie

We had snow last night but woke up to rain. All plans of sledding and having fun outside have been crushed by slush. That just means indoor swimming and more baking. Who doesn’t love the smell of fresh bread on a dismal day? . A few new products this week, some that I’ve been testing and others that I just received. . • @drbrandt Neck Sculpting Cream* comes in a set with a rose quartz Gua Sha tool for a relaxing massage experience. The cream is meant to firm and tighten the skin, preventing wrinkles and sag. This is achieved both through ingredients and increased circulation. As I’ve only used this a few times I have no results to report, but the experience of using it is lovely. At the end of my evening routine I’ll settle in, put on Game of Thrones (just finished the Red Wedding in my rewatch), and slather this all over my neck. The Gua Sha massage feels relaxing, and it’s always nice to spend some extra time paying attention to yourself. It’s the same reason I love the jade rollers, it’s relaxing and feels wonderful. • @bareminerals Skinlongevity Vital Power sleeping gel cream* and Vital Power infusion have both been added within the last few weeks. I’ll admit that I wasn’t super excited for these at first, I’ve never been a fan of the Bare Minerals skincare offerings. But as I’m always willing to try a sleeping mask I decided to give it a go. The texture is a light gel, with an unpleasant scent that I still haven’t quite been able to get past. BUT the results of this have made it worth ignoring. Over the last two weeks I’ve been waking up to a very even tone, my normal redness has almost disappeared. This doesn’t do anything as far as keeping my skin from drying out, but the clear, even tone is a worthwhile exchange. The Vital Power infusion* is a rich, milky toner that imparts quite a lot of hydration. This is mostly scentless, and absorbs quickly. I added this to my evening routine about a week ago, and feel that it works well with the sleeping mask. Even my husband has commented in the last few days on how smooth and bright my skin looks. I’m very much enjoying this one and look forward to seeing what the long term results will be. . . . . *pr gifted

Here’s to relaxing and pampering for the weekend. . Snow storms and chilly temperatures have me wanting to hide inside, bake brownies, and cuddle wall watching movies. Who’s with me? . . . . *pr gifted @balgarstudio @107oneoseven @pestleandmortarcosmetics @drroebucks @drunkelephant

One of my favorite direct from Korea shops is @roseroseshop.official. I’ve been shopping with them for years because they have low prices, products that aren’t available in the US, and relatively fast shipping. You do have to pay for shipping, which is weight based, but many times even factoring that in the prices are cheaper then elsewhere. They also have their own line, @neulii.global. I believe there used to be a range of serums, but currently the BHA PHA 5.5 peeling pad* is their sole offering. The BHA PHA peeling pads come in either a tub with 70, or as a pack of individually wrapped pads. While the packaging says 5.5, my own ph testing of these came out as 4.5. The pads are soft and have a medicinal scent that doesn’t linger. Now, I talk a lot about my sensitivity to acids thanks to tretonoin use, so I actually didn’t test these on my face. However, I’m one of those lucky people who tends to breakout on my back and upper arms. Annoying, and a source of embarrassment as a teen, but now that just means more area to test acids. I’ve been using these pads three times a week on my upper body and have had some really great results. I have a focus on preventing blackheads on my upper back, and the Neulii pads have cleared up a lot of those. My skin looks clearer, smoother, and I haven’t had a single pimple since I started using these. My skin tone has also been more even and bright, healthier looking then it’s been in years. At $11 this is a great price for some gentle and effective exfoliating pads. I like these better then the @cosrx ones, which are effective but a bit too strong for me. I’ll definitely be repurchasing these, I want them in my stash for tank top season. . . . *pr gifted

Spending tonight with some extra luxuries. Sometimes I just want to stare at beautiful things. . . . . *pr gifted @drbrandt @bareminerals @caudalie @beautybio
