Kiehl’s Midnight recovery Concentrate – Review

Hello Loves and happy Monday!

Today I wanted to share with you my thoughts on the newest baby in my skincare collection. If you know the brand Kiehl’s I’m certain you’ve also heard about their bestseller Midnight Recovery Concentrate.

I’ve never owned anything from Kiehl’s since I simply couldn’t afford their products. But my boyfriend surprised me with this product for my birthday!

On Kiehl’s website they promote this product by writing:

• Visibly reduces fine lines, refines skin’s texture and boosts radiance in just one night
• Helps smooth and firm skin’s appearance
• Boosts essential moisture to help restore the appearance of tired-looking skin
• Replenishes skin at night when it is most receptive to repairing itself from daily aggressors
• Absorbs easily with a lightweight texture
• Leaves skin soft, supple and hydrated

Honestly, only after first use I could feel the difference in my skin! I’m not sure if it reduced any fine lines, but definitely did most things from the list!

Next morning my skin felt so fresh, moisturized, soft and glowy! From now on I use it under moisturizer or just by itself. I love how fast it sinks into the skin and doesn’t leave it feeling oily but rather nourished and hydrated.

After cleansing my face I take 3-5 drops and gently pat it on my skin with my fingertips.

The concentrate is a mix of oils but the scent is majority a lavender note. I was afraid it will be too strong for me since I’m not so keen on lavender, but it’s not and I enjoy applying it a lot. Something about using it makes me feel so happy! It takes just a minute but the whole process of getting ready to sleep seams a little bit more luxurious now.

The only down side to this product is the price. Since natural oils available in drugstores are usually not expensive, the price of this particular oil blend makes me think. But hey, this works wonders on my skin and I’m willing to save some money to get another bottle!

I definitely recommend it to anyone who can afford it or just wants to treat themselves or ask for it as a present!

Sephora Face Masks review

Hi Loves and happy Monday!

For today’s post I prepared a review of two Sephora Masks. One is a full face rose mask and second one is just a charcoal nose strip.

On Saturday I decided to pumper myself and use the full face rose mask ($6). It is supposed to brighten and moisturize your skin. I kept it on, as it said on the packaging, for 15 mins and have to say the whole process was really relaxing and felt very luxurious (I’m not used to do masks often as you can tell). After those 15 minutes I took it off and instantly felt refreshed. I massaged any leftovers of the mask into my skin. Honestly, I could feel that mask helped me with moisturizing my face more than I could see it. So visually I didn’t see much difference. Although my skin felt great! Did it brighten my complexion? I don’t think so. If so, then very slightly.

The nose strip I used on my boyfriend because he was asking me if I have this super famous black peel off mask, which I didn’t. I offered him this Sephora one and he was quite pleased with the result. Before using it don’t forget to read the instructions! I didn’t pay attention that nose, beside being clean, should also be damp. But after all, with a little help of wet towel, it got stuck to my love’s nose and worked as promised. Results were ok, without revelation. I think you could find something better for that price ($3).

Will I use this again? The nose strip – I don’t think that I’ll bother with it. The rose face mask – Maybe yes, before important event or just to pamper and spoil myself a little bit!

Did you use some of Sephora masks? Which ones? Did you like them or not? Share below! I’d love to hear about your masks experiences!

P.S. Keep your eyes peeled on the next post! It will be my June favourites!

xx, Olita
