Happy Friday ladies :-) I had a lovely day in London yesterday at the various press days & of course a very quick spot of shopping ;-) but it's back to reality today & my 'day' job. So keeping things nice & simples for a busy day in the office catching up from yesterday & attempting to clear the inbox before the start of the weekend!

A quick heads up on a new moisturiser that I've been using. Now I've had a few requests to share my skincare & make up routines - which is on the list of blogs to do (pinky promise!) but in the meantime I thought I'd quickly tell you about a great new face cream I've recently discovered.
I was lucky enough to be contacted by Vichy to see if I'd be interested in trying their new Liftactiv Supreme face cream. Naturally I said yes purely out of interest but if I'm honest not expecting it to make much of an impact from my existing cream.
Before I share with you my thoughts on the cream let me tell you a bit about the cream. Firstly the cream comes in two versions one for normal to combination skin & the other for dry to very dry skin & has been designed to be intensely moisturising & to combat the signs of ageing. So nothing new there then! But on top of that it utilises rhamnose a natural anti-ageing ingredient that not only targets the signs of ageing but also firms & boasts radiance whilst brightening a tired & fatigued complexion. Plus its paraben free & hypoallergenic. The company even go as far as to say that it 'creates an instant soft-focus appearance with an incredible smoothing effect'.
I've now been using the normal to combination skin version for four weeks & have to say I was a bit anxious at first about using a face cream that is described as intensely moisturising as I'm not one to love heavy creams on my face & don't like the feel of cream if it doesn't sink in immediately. But this moisturiser is lovely & light & really does soak into the skin instantly so I didn't feel as if I was wearing it & a little really does go a long way.
As to the appearance of my skin I would say it has definitely made an impact, in fact I felt I saw a difference in a matter of days. But most importantly my husband (not having read nor having been told that I was using the face cream or the claims it came with) commented that my skin looked softer, smoother & more youthful with a glow. Which to me says it all & for the hubby puts him in my good books that he said such lovely things about my skin & more importantly that he's even noticed! So I think it's safe to say I'm now a convert!
So has anyone else tried this pot of magic or heard great things about it? I'd love to hear your thoughts but based on my experience I'd definitely recommend it & am most certainly going to be continuing my daily application.
Finally before I crack on with work don't forget today's the last day of Boden's 25% off everything (see here) & don't forget to use code W4W3.
Right I'd better get back to work - happy weekend & more importantly happy wine o'clock.......think I may have a bit of celebrating to do as, as some of you have noticed I'm in this month's (June's) editions of Prima Magazine & Woman & Home & yes I'm constantly pinching myself to check I'm not dreaming!!

ReplyDeleteI haven't used Vichy products for years but this sounds great as I also don't like heavy creams on my face - they always break my skin out :( x
That's what puts me off heavy creams too Sarah but this one is lovely & light.
