Biotherm Anti-Drying Body Milk Review

With the warmer weather here, we'll most likely be showing a little more skin, so it's the perfect time to combat any dry, flaky skin.  Biotherm's Anti-Drying Body Milk combats dry and flaky skin on contact and provides long-lasting hydration. This moisturizer is completely new to me, and it has quickly become an all-time favourite! 

ABOUT:

• This body milk's anti-drying properties rejuvenate the skin, while its blend of regenerating Biotech Plankton, anti-oxidizing Vitamin E and nourishing lipids smooth and delicately scent the skin.
• "Repairs the skin barrier after the first use, providing 48 hour lasting hydration, reducing dryness by in 10 minutes. "

The first thing I noticed is that the light citrus scent is unbelievably delicious and oh, so relaxing! I'm instantly relaxed as soon as I get a whiff of it. And, in terms of moisturizing, it's seriously the best.  I've never used a moisturizer that was so lightweight yet so hydrating. I used to think I had to use the thickest creams to get the most hydration, but this Body Milk has proved me wrong. My dry and flaky skin is soft, hydrated immediately after application, and lasts all day. And, because it's lightweight and absorbs so well, I'm not left with any greasy residue.

I was also very pleasantly surprised when I noticed that after using this Body Milk for a short while, the little bumps on the backs of my upper arms disappeared!

The sleek, slimline bottle takes up little space, and the packaging has a fresh, appealing look that looks nice in my bathroom. The handy pump dispenser makes it very convenient and easy to use, and it can be locked in the closed position, making it great for travel or throwing in your gym bag.

Key ingredients:

Combining nourishing oils with hydrating Glycerin, Biotherm Body Milk lotion provides your skin with optimal hydration and elasticity. Antioxidant Vitamin E and regenerating Life Plankton™ are infused in this rich body moisturizer to deeply repair and smooth your skin.

Now in new and improved packaging with a bottle made of 100% recycled plastic, and is recyclable*.

This product is so luxurious that I feel like I'm practicing a little self-care every time I use it. From the heavenly scent to its superior moisturizing abilities, I'm recommending this moisturizer to everyone I know. And, thanks to the lightweight texture, this bottle should last for quite some time!

It's no wonder that it's Canada's number 1 premium body moisturizer. I'm seriously hooked!

YSL Make Me Blush Liquid Blush in Nude Lavalliere #44 Review with Swatches

I was thrilled when YSL's Make Me Blush 12H Blurring Liquid Blush landed on my desk. I've been using and loving it in the shade Nude Lavalliere #44. It's described as an iconic dusty nude pink.

It's really the perfect nude shade that gives me a natural looking flush of colour to my face. It's a very universal shade that I believe will suit a wide array of skin tones.

About:

What it is: A highly pigmented and creamy liquid-to-powder blush that's blendable, buildable, and melts into skin for a blurring, soft-cloud finish and up to 12 hours of wear.

What Else You Need to Know: This is a weightless and long-lasting liquid blush with a creamy formula that stays all day and dries like your favorite powder blush. It’s ultra-buildable for a healthy flush or rush of vibrant color and easily blendable for a blurred, soft cloud-skin finish.

The blush comes in this beautiful, sleek packaging that takes up little space, so it's easy to throw in your bag or pocket and take on the go.

The doe foot applicator makes for easy application and keeps it hygienic as no fingers are required.

 

There are many ways to apply this cream blush. Right now, I'm enjoying it by applying with a synthetic makeup brush. It's quite pigmented, so the doe foot applicator helps to apply just the right amount. I only need one dot per cheek and I like to blend it across my cheeks and nose for a naturally flushed look. It blends easily, and it really lasts all day long!

This shade looks so natural and it makes me look more vibrant, healthy, and rested, even when I'm not. 

If you're looking for a treat for yourself or a loved one, you definitely can't go wrong with this blush!

Product: Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) Make Me Blush 12H Blurring Blush in #44 Nude Lavalliere. $56CAD/ 15ML Available on Sephora.com.

The Ultimate Frizz Buster | Moroccanoil Frizz Shield Spray

 

As someone with naturally curly and frizzy hair, I've spent most of my life admiring straight haired beauties with smooth and sleek hair and desiring the same. Not to mention, now that I've earned some greys, it's made matters even worse for me! All of this has led to over 50 years of searching for a product to tame my frizz and make my hair look healthy, sleek, and smooth. Well, my search is finally over since discovering Moroccanoil Frizz Shield Spray!

I literally feel like I've tried everything, and I practically have. I've used every oil, leave-in conditioner, frizz treatments, you name it. Nothing has come close to giving me the results I get with Moroccanoil's Frizz Shield.

After washing and conditioning my hair, following up with a small amount of whatever leave-in conditioner I'm using at the moment, my last step is to lightly spritz my hair with Moroccanoil Frizz Shield. I don't need a separate heat protector as the Frizz Shield not only tames my frizz, it also acts as a heat protector. I blow dry my hair and follow up with a little heat styling. My hair has never looked and felt so good! My hair is left so smooth, there's not a trace of frizz. It's so soft that I can't stop touching it as I've had a lifetime of rough textured hair, so this is all new to me. It looks feels like the hair I've always wanted- smooth and sleek.

My hair is not only naturally curly and frizzy, it's also damaged from bleaching/highlighting my hair. But, you'd never know it now that I'm using Moroccanoil's Frizz Shield, and the results last until my next wash!

If you have fine hair like me, this product can weigh your hair down a bit if you use too much, so very little is needed.

ABOUT:

Key Ingredients: Argan oil, jackfruit extract, amaranth seed extract, and hydrolyzed quinoa nourish and condition hair.

This heat-activated spray eases the styling process while providing a defensive shield for long-lasting frizz, static, and flyaway control. The weightless formula helps protect against thermal damage and includes antioxidant-rich argan oil and other naturally derived and upcycled ingredients to care for hair from the inside out, leaving it silky, soft, smooth, and glass-like—without a sticky finish or film.

Powered by HydroResist Technology, which wraps strands in a hydrophobic conditioning veil that repels humidity and other environmental elements for perfectly styled hair that lasts for days.

Regardless of whatever hair products I'm using, this product will always be a part of my haircare routine. I'm afraid to be without it now, so although I'm only half way through my first bottle, I've already repurchased it!

If you're still looking for the ultimate frizz-busting product, give this a try and come back and let me know how it went for you. It's 2025, it's high-time that there's a quick and easy way to bust frizz at home once and for all!

Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F Triple Eye Serum Review

@thisisbutterly and Lancome sent me Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye to test out, and I have to say, it really delivers results for me.

The new Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye offers a high-performance anti-aging concentrate and features three formulas with SNK-peptide, a new tripeptide to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Let's dive in and learn more about this fabulous new serum and find out what my results have been like.

From Lancome:

Rénergie makes the impossible possible with a patented bottle in mastering a unique actives combination. Incompatible together, each serum is protected in its own chambers against light exposures and impurities for high-performance anti-aging efficacy in each dose.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

A revolution in eye care. The high-performance anti-aging efficacy of Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum now calibrated for eyes. Three incompatible and potent actives: Hyaluronic Acid, C+Niacinamide, Vitamin F united in one potent triple dose, augmented with SNK-Peptide. A concentrated and precise combination of ingredients engineered to target the full eye contour. Results so visible that you would think impossible without a procedure:

✓ +8% eyelids look lifted

✓ -31% appearance of fine lines

✓ +13% eye area looks firmer

✓ -15% Under Eye Puffiness

✓ -12% Smooths Crow’s Feet

I have aging and very hooded eyes (50+). After the first use, which was before bed, I woke up the next morning to much less hooded eyes, so this product clearly has some immediate effects. The skin around my eyes stays hydrated all day and night when I use this serum, which really helps my aging eyes look more youthful. The appearance of lines and wrinkles around my eyes are also softened thanks to the amazing hydration of this serum. Lancôme recommends pressing the under-eye area and lifting the skin gently toward your temples to help depuff the eye bags and optimize results. This application tip does help reduce under eye puffiness as it helps with lymphatic drainage.

I've been using this serum AM and PM with no other eye products. I don't need additional moisturizers around my eyes because this product really does it all. It has a lot of slip to it, so you only need the tiniest amount for each eye. It spreads out easily and hydrates the skin around my eyes immediately. It doesn't burn or sting my eyes so I don't have to be careful when applying it. And, because of how little product is needed for each eye, this product should last for quite a while. 

I have really been enjoying using this product and am very happy with my results thus far. I am definitely looking forward to seeing the long-term effects!
