Hello My Darlings!
This week I thought I would review a couple new beauty products for you. Enjoy!
L’Oreal RevitaLift Miracle Blur
I was really excited to use this product. From beauty magazines to celebrities, I have been seeing this product all over the place, so naturally I had big expectations for Miracle Blur. Unfortunately, this product did not live up to my anticipation. Firstly, I felt it didn't do what it promoted. I have a few wrinkles around my mouth and on my forehead, so I have been looking for something that will fill in those wrinkles and make them less noticeable. Miracle Blur made barley a difference, virtually none around my mouth. My wrinkles were still there, and my foundation still settled in them. I also found the texture of the product strange. Every time I put it on, little balls of… stuff… formed on my hands. I’m not sure what it was (Built up product? Dead skin?), but it was really weird and got everywhere. The product is thick and hard to spread; it’s even hard to get out of the tube. The only thing I liked about this product was it’s fragrance free. I was sadly disappointed with this product. I really wanted it to be a holy grail for me, but it’s nothing but a dunce.
L’Oreal Youth Code Dark Spot SPF 30 Day Cream
This second product is the complete opposite of Miracle Blur! I love this product! Also from L’Oreal, Youth Code Dark Spot daytime moisturizer is perfect for my problematic skin. This cream is meant to even skin tone and discoloration which is just what I need. I have really bad redness from acne, so I have been looking for something that will help get rid of that discoloration, and, boy, this product does it. My skin is far less red, and more of a light pink. I have only been using this product for about week and half so I can’t wait to see what my skin will look like in a month’s time. The texture is thick, but not overbearing. It goes on smoothly and doesn't leave a sticky residue. The thick formula helps to fill in those dreaded acne pits that I have, which is always a super plus in my book. A little definitely goes a long way with this product as well; just a quarter size dab will cover the whole face. The only problem I encountered with this product is the fragrance. Because it has SPF protection, this moisturizer is loaded with sunscreen which leaves that awful sunscreen smell. Not only is irritating to my nose, but is extremely irritating to my eyes. The first time I used it I made the mistake of putting it near my eyes. Needless to say, my eyes became irritated and wouldn't stop watering—I couldn't even put my makeup on it was so bad. But because it is such a good product, I think I can forgive the smell. Overall, this is definitely my favorite Youth Code product.

P.S. The Fifth Estate comes out this Friday, and I am so excited! I’m going to put a review up either Friday night or Saturday morning so keep an eye out! Have you seen the crazy stuff going on between Benedict and Julian? Things are getting intense! Also, if you are lucky enough to live in New York or LA, Kill Your Darlings comes out Wednesday. For the rest of us sorry people, we have to wait until “coming soon”. So, I will have to sit here and wait in agony until I can see this beautiful film. Ugh! Let me if there are any other films you want me to review! I always need an excuse to go to the cinema!
Bye, lovelies!
