![]() I have been testing this hydrating mask (also from a clean beauty line). This has been a good pattern for my skin. My current regimen is to use differin (retinoid) two nights a week and my beloved glycolic acid pads two nights a week, use an overnight mask one night, and nothing on the other two nights of the week. Formula is a touch tacky/sticky but no scent and easier to apply than runnier formulas I’ve tried.) (I still think this is the best budget buy version you can get - just as good as the more expensive ones I’ve tried. My bottom line remains the same: vitamin C has worked wonders on my skin and I will continue testing different formulas until I find the holy grail. Regardless, I think I’ll be testing La Roche Posay’s formula or Biossance’s serum next on the recommendation of several Magpies. That said, Drunk Elephant is a clean beauty line, so that was a compelling selling point. Regardless, yuck! The scent does dissipate within a few minutes, but…!). Some describe the scent as “hot dog water” - haha! To me it smelled more like over-ripe or rotting vegetables. (Read the reviews - this is a common complaint. My sister happened to gift me this serum (she loves all things Drunk Elephant) and while I think the results are great, I find the scent off-putting. I appreciate the results of the many different brands I have tried (all of them have noticeably brightened my skin - I liken it to “turning on the lights upstairs”), but I am still on the search for one with an ideal consistency/application. I talked a little bit in my last installment of Honest Reviews that I haven’t yet found a vitamin C serum that I love. + Drunk Elephant C-Firma Vitamin C Serum. (I have none!) I just updated my shop page to include a section dedicated to beauty showcasing all my favorite products for these recs and others! ![]() ![]() They say stretch marks are mainly genetic, but this stuff made my itchy pregnant belly feel so much better - deeply hydrating! - and, hey, I’ll take a gamble on something if it might help avoid stretch marks. And if you are expecting, consider using the promotion towards Clarins Body Tonic! I have turned no less than twenty mom friends onto this. I always get excited when I can get these prestige beauty products at a little discount since they so rarely go on sale. The highlighter stick adds dewiness rather than shine - it’s an incredible product. (Just make sure to hydrate your skin well first.) I also love (!) their blush stick and highlighter stick in the “lit” (totally colorless) color and wear them every single day. Sephora just launched its Spring Savings event (tiered access to a discount starts today - 20% off for VIB Rouge), and if you take nothing else away from this post, please consider using the promotion to treat yourself to Westman Atelier’s foundation stick, which is definitely one of the best new beauty products I’ve tried in the last few years.
