This week we have another skincare staple for me, the Caudalie Vinosource S.O.S. Thirst Quenching Serum. This was the first product I picked up when I wanted to start expanding my skincare routine this summer, I got it for $49 for 1 oz. I had heard Essie Button rave about this serum so I figured it would be a good one to start out with. I had never tried a serum before, I guess I always figured that they were only to help prevent the aging process which I wasn't overly concerned about. Really, serum is a step in your skincare routine aimed at fixing a skin concern you have. There are ones for aging, but also brightening serums, serums for acne, and this serum is aimed at hydrating the skin.
This post is a little different from my normal reviews, but a few weekends ago I saw that two of my favorite you-tubers, Essie Button and Amelia Liana were having a meet up in New York City. I live fairly close to the city, and I had the day off, so I figured I could make a little day trip out of it, why not? Thursday rolled around and I packed up my new big girl camera for it's first outing, picked up a Pumpkin Spice Latte and hit the road. I found parking at the train station fairly easily, hopped on the train, got a bench to myself (score!), and headed into the city.
A while back Beauty Balm (BB) creams came into the beauty scene and I wanted to give them a try. After some research I decided to pick up a set of four mini Dr. Jart+ BB creams, that included the Water Fuse Beauty Balm, Premium Beauty Balm, Black Label Detox Beauty Balm, and Renewalist Beauty Balm. After testing them all out I determined that the Premium BB is my favorite, and this summer when I ran out of my small tube from the set I picked up the full size for $39.00 for 1.5 oz. Please excuse the blurry pictures, the gold tube has a hard clear plastic jacket over it with print on it that casts a shadow onto the gold tube underneath that makes it really difficult to get crisp photos of the print. When looking at the tube with your bare eyes the lettering looks a bit out of focus, so the pictures are a pretty good representation of what the packaging looks like.
