Over the past weekend, I was out shopping (which I still need to show you my purchases). However, I have been looking for a new face moisturizer... well, pretty much a new face care line. I currently have been using LaRoche Posay, which is amazing btw, but I need to switch it up every so often because my face will just get used to the products and that's not always a good thing.
Since I'm 29 years old, and 30 is just around the corner, I need to be using anti-aging products as well as hydrating products, for both my face and my eyes. Tres important! I need to avoid those fine lines and wrinkles and keep them to a minimum!!!!
Anyhow, I was browsing through the Kiehl's store at the mall, and I started talking to the sales girl. Her and I are the same age, and her skin looks fantastic!!! Even though she works there, and sells the product, I found her to be pretty honest with me in terms of what I was looking for.
She recommended the Abyssine line to me.
I have read amazing reviews about this line from Kiehl's. It's an anti aging line, which is light (because I hate heavy face creams), good for my sensitive skin, and also can be used morning and night... Tres amazing!!!
The only bad thing, is that it doesn't have SPF, but I have been using an SPF from LaRoche Posay, so I don't mind if the Kiehl's moisturizer doesn't have it, I would rather have a great product that I can use morning and night. I don't like to spend a lot of time slathering on products.
This cream has a really nice, creamy consistancy.
It also doesn't have a strong scent either... BONUS!!!! I hate those strong smelling creams.. yuck!
I have been using this for a couple of days, and already my skin feels baby bum soft!!!! I love that it's such a light cream, but hydrates and minimizes those lines and wrinkles that I'm worried about. I will see what happens after about a month, but my skin hasn't reacted to it, so that already tells me that this is a keeper!
I also got a few free samples from this same line...
I got the Abyssine Eye Cream and the Abyssine Serum for your face. I have tried a sample of the eye cream, and I remember that I absolutely LOVED it!!! I was using my old stuff, and I have wanted to invest in the eye cream, but since I have so much of my other stuff left, the sample size is perfect for now. I got a few of them, so that will give me a chance to use it longer than a week. It's also a creamy consistancy. It's very light, and it goes on like silk!
The serum that she gave me from this line, is to be used before the moisturizer. It's not necessary, but it's an extra boost for brightening and stuff like that. Maybe it gives an extra Baby Bum softness!!! LOL..
Anyhow, I am excited that I invested in this new cream. I think my skin was ready for something new. The moisturizer was about $56, but when I went, there was a "no tax" thing going on that day, so it was $56... it's also a 50ml pot, and you only need a small amount, so I can see this lasting quite a long time. I don't like paying too much for products, but when they are great quality and last awhile, then it's definitely worth every penny!
Has anyone tried this line? If so, let me know if you love it, or tossed it!
Hope everyone has a fab night!!!
