Lise Watier's Flash Face Lift Radiance Vials claims to erase signs of fatigue, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, restore radiance to your complexion and hold your makeup all day. When I tried it I noticed my skin did look brighter and more refreshed, however, that's about all I noticed. There was no difference in fine lines and it certainly didn't hold my makeup all day. I might have recommended this product just for brightening my skin if it wasn't for one major flaw...the smell. The smell isn't disgusting but it isn't wonderful either. The smell is strong and overbearing and it STAYS on your skin. For hours that's all I could smell, even after putting all my makeup on. It ended up giving me a headache and I really don't want the smell of a beauty product to overpower the perfume I'm wearing.
Yet another hair product, the Elixir Ultime claims to deep condition hair and smooth hair fibers to bring shine. It also says it restores strength to hair and protects it from the harsh environment. The product is good and standing up to the Moroccan Oil I've been using it does a decent job. My hair feel soft and smooth but I wouldn't say it's any more amazing than skmething you can pick up at the drug store.
I have been dying to try a crackle nail polish and have heard really good things about China Glazes. I'm sure most of you have heard about crackle nail polishes. You put it over any of your other nail polishes and it will form a deconstructive crackle design over it. The colour I got was "Latticed Lilac" and it's so pretty! And as you can see below the crackle is awesome. There is an art to applying this stuff though and it takes a little bit of practice because it starts crackling almost instantly so you can only go over it once. So it can crackle a lot cleaner than what's pictured. I've seen some brands that just crackles along your brush strokes and so it's only vertical crackle. This one crackles all over. I highly recommend China Glaze!
Next is Olay Professional Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex. It says it improves the look of crows feet which I don't have at all so I can't critique that part. It hydrates well and for me, if I don't use a moisturizer, my fines lines are iore pronounced. But I prefer using an eye cream because moisturizers tend to look greasy under the eye. It also decreased the puffiness around my eyes but did nothing for dark circles. However, the act of massaging it in what's supposed to get rid of the puffiness. So overall, for the price, I wouldn't recommend this product. I say just go a pick up some generic brand eye cream.
Lastly is Lise Watier's Plumpissimo Le Gloss. It's a lip gloss that's obviously supposed to plump up your lips. It says it contains some sort of dehydrated spheres that expand when they come in contact with the water in your skin and fill in and plump up the lines in your lips. Well, surprise, surprise, it didn't work for me. As you can see below there's no difference. However, I would like to say that I love the sparkling pink colour of the gloss. But for $20 it isn't worth it.
Also this month my box came with a $25 off if I spent $75 on this site dealuxe.ca. Which I thought was pretty sweet. I go to the site and it's really nice clothes..*even sweeter. Then I look at the prices and almost the ENTIRE site is over $100 items. Like there are maybe 10 basic shirts that are $85 and rings and stuff that are $60. Even with the discount there is no way I'm paying $60 or ONE t-shirt. I thought that was a bit ridiculous for the Loose Button company to do, obviously their clients don't have the money to be spending $300 on a skirt. We're just regular people, not millionaires. Needless to say I will not be using the giftcard. But all in all it was an okay box this month. Hit or miss sometimes I guess!
Hope everyone is having an awesome October :)
