I know this is my 2nd post today but I felt I needed to update you on my lovely and exciting purchases today. Since the BF is gone away for the night for a boys night with lots of fun hockey, poker, darts and yess.. beer, I thought "I deserve to have a luxurious and relaxing girlie night". I have to wake up at 6am tomorrow (sunday..uuuggggghhh!!) so I thought pampering myself is just what the beauty doctor ordered.
After work I made my way to Shoppers Drug Mart to see what I could find. Here are my finds...
Left - Marcell Essentials Clay Mask
Middle - La Roche Posay Active C day/night moisturizer
Right - Blistex Fruit Smoothies
The sales lady actually recommended the Marcelle line for clay mask. I wanted something hardening to draw out impurities and gross-ness from my pores without an expensive price. This marcelle essentials mask was $14.00. I just tried it and I love it!!! It's not thick, but it hardens and tightens skin like no other. I really give this mask a thumbs up because it rinses off easily and you just leave it on for 10 min to harden. I'm excited to give this a go once a week for sure!
My second purchase was the La Roche Posay Active C day/night moisturizer. I love the La Roche posay line. I have their gel face wash and I love it. It works amazing if you have blemished skin and break out like I do (wish I had better skin..sigh!). I tried this tonight after I put on my Biodroga AHA serum and it feels amazing on my freshly cleansed skin. This is ONLY for the face, not the eyes. I really love this moisturizer. It's light but you can feel it infusing your skin with moisture and hydration. My mom uses this line and I've always wanted to try it. The best part of the day is when the cashier told me this moisturizer is on sale for $15 off the original price.. pardon me?? Best news ever! This moisturizer is originally $47.00 and I got it for $32.00. I love savings!!! The Active C line is for anti-aging. Since I'm 29 years old, I'm starting to notice changes in my skin, fine lines and stuff, so this will hopefully slow down the aging process... *praying* I always like to give products 1 month of bonding time before I commit to the relationship or I just toss it to the curb...lol.. I mean, you HAVE to have a lasting and committed relationship with your skin for it to treat you right back!
Finally, I got the Blistex Fruit Smoothie lip chap. This is a favorite of Audrina Patridge from The Hills as per her blog. I tried all of them tonight and all I can say is...YUM!!! these have the most yummy flavors and yet it very soothing to the lips. I can already tell that these lip chaps are going to be a sacred product for me.. thank you Audrina for introducing me!!!
All in all, I have been having such a great night! I also got 20 times the points on my points card, so now I have $10 free to spend on my next purchase!!!! I think I might invest in an electic toothbrush. I've always wanted one... LOL..So now, I have my glass of wine, my skin is glowing with awesome-ness and all I have yet to do before bed, is self-tan and put on my eye cream. I watched "The Devil Wears Prada" tonight.. Gosh... I love that show!
Soon I will be heading to bed. 6am comes quickly. I think I will let puppy sleep on the bed with me tonight. I always get so freaked out being home alone...Hopefully the BF is having a blast with the boys and I will see him tomorrow after work. We are going over to his brother's to see his new Jeep... I'm so excited, getting a new car is always a good feeling, especially if it's a car you really want. It's so fullfilling to actually be able to get it. I'm really pumped to see it!
Nighty night luvies :)
