APLB Glutathione and Niacinamide Body Lotion Review X YesStyle

So happy to be back with exciting new products to share! Today, I'm sharing Korean beauty brand  @aplb.global 's Glutathione and Niacinamide Body Lotion 💦 "Mild Ingredients with the best results."

This luxurious body lotion contains so many fabulous ingredients, including 12.5% Lipo Gluta Niac Cen (glutathione, niacinamide, centella asiatica leaf water), which are designed to moisturize, tighten, brighten, soothe, and calm the skin. Other notable ingredients are tea tree extract, rice extract, eggplant fruit extract, and asiatic acid, just to name a few.

Nice light, but hydrating consistency is key!

Skin is left as soft as a baby's bottom

The lotion is lightweight, fragrance-free, and absorbs easily into my skin. I appreciate that I can get dressed right after applying, as there is no greasy residue left behind. My skin feels so soft, smooth, and hydrated. It's also tighter and looks younger since I've been using it.

This lotion is suitable for all skin types, and I wholeheartedly recommend it. ❤️ 💙 💜

Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Clearing Serum Review

I've been thoroughly enjoying Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Clearing Serum. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and I'm already experiencing great results!

This product is a powerful, dermatologist-developed serum suitable for all skin tones that targets hyperpigmentation. The advanced formula combines both brightening and soothing actives.

About:

Brightening Ingredients:

• U​P302: Clinique’s proprietary brightening molecule has both antioxidant and brightening benefits.

• Vitamin C​: Visibly reduces dark spots and helps skin look more even.

• Pure niacinamide: Reduces discoloration.

• Salicylic acid: Sloughs off the uppermost layers of the skin, revealing more even-looking skin.

• Glucosamine: Encourages exfoliation of surface discoloration. 

Soothing Ingredients: 

• Licorice extract: Calms skin by reducing skin irritation that could lead to dark spots.

• Gyokuro: Stops irritation that can lead to dark spots. 

The sleek bottle comes with a hygienic pump applicator. It only takes one to two pumps to cover my face and neck. It has a nice slip to it and feels so soothing on application. I like to apply it to damp skin for better absorption, and I can also use less product this way.

I've been using it for over 2 weeks now and I'm already having great results! I use it both AM and PM, before my moisturizers. I love how quickly it absorbs into my skin. I find it very soothing and I love that it's fragrance-free! Over these past 2 weeks, I've noticed that my skin appears brighter, clearer, dark spots have lightened, and my skin even seems firmer. It works well with all of my other skincare and layers well under my moisturizer and makeup.

I'm so excited about my results this far, and can't wait to see my results after continued use.

If you are interested in lightening up any dark spots and looking for brighter, clearer skin, I definitely recommend adding this serum to your skincare routine. It really does work, and I found it worked quite quickly.

This product is Dermatologist tested,  Non-acnegenic, and Allergy tested. 100% fragrance free.

Available at Sephora.ca. 30ml / $85CAD

Marcelle Cosmetics Cheek Loving Cheek and Lip Multi Sticks Review With Swatches

#ad Canadian Brand Marcelle Cosmetics' new Cheek Loving Cheek and Lip Multi-Sticks have definitely been giving me a huge Summer Glow Up! 🌞 

I've been using them for over a month, and they have now become a part of my daily makeup routine. They are perfect for a quick and easy makeup look. With these Multi Sticks, I can quickly do my cheeks and lips, add Marcelle's Lash Loving Mascara, and I'm out the door! I love to apply them with a dense synthetic makeup brush. They blend like a dream onto my cheeks, and I like to pat the product onto my lips using my fingers. They are buildable and have excellent staying power.

There are 2 lighter shades, which include a light coral (Gently Coral) and a highlighter shade (Perfectly Nude). My favourites are the 2 darker shades; Classically Rose which is a deeper shade, and the Lusciously Berry, which is also a deeper shade but more sheer and glowy. The 2 darker shades give me that flushed, healthy-looking summer glow that I love right now. I like to blend those shades across my cheeks and nose and even blend it up into my temples. This look is having a moment right now, and I'm here for it 🙌. I often pat some of the highlight shade onto the tops of my cheeks and brow bone. You can really have fun mixing and matching these shades!

I can honestly say these are the best cream cheek and lip products that I've used, even compared to high-end ones that I've used. They are perfect for my aging skin and give me a more youthful appearance. I am really enjoying using these and love the looks that I achieve!  

They contain skin-loving ingredients like sweet almond oil, vitamin E, and meadowfoam seed oil.

These products are paraben-free, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, dermatologist tested, vegan, and won't clog your pores. 

The price is right, and I can already tell that one tube will last forever.

Which shade is your favourite? 

Available on Marcelle.com, Amazon Canada, Walmart, and most major drugstores.

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.

New Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balms with SPF 30 | Sienna Rose + Wild Peony

Burt's Bees just launched these gorgeous new tinted lip balms with SPF30 and non-nano zinc oxide. It's rare to find a tinted lip balm that contains an SPF but it's such a necessity! 

Burt's Bees tinted lip balms with SPF 30 contain hydrating ingredients like vitamin E, almond oil, and shea butter, to name a few. They are also formulated with a broad spectrum mineral SPF.

I'm definitely more of a tinted lip balm gal over lipstick, especially in the Summertime, but I also need an SPF to protect my lips... Burt's Bees has us covered!

I received the shades Sienna Rose and Wild Peony (swatches below). Wild Peony is my absolute favourite but I also like to mix the two. 

Both shades are beautiful, long-lasting, and keep my lips protected from UV rays. They come in your typical lip balm tube that twists up for easy application.  One of my favourite way to wear them is to layer them for a gorgeous MLBB (my lip but better) shade! 

Note: there is also a clear one for those who don't want to add any colour to their pout.

Left: Sienna Rose/ Right: Wild Peony

Here are the swatches of the 2 shades. As you can see, Sienna Rose is a very pigmented, beautiful rosy shade, so it could be worn in place of lipstick for daytime or even for an evening out. 

If you are like me and prefer a lighter, softer shade, you will probably love the shade Wild Peony. It's a light, sheer pink with a cooler undertone and I think it would suit many skin tones. 

I find that the shade Wild Peony, in particular, gives an overall youthful appearance to my face, so I absolutely love it and will purchase it when I finish this tube.

These fabulous lip balms keep my lips hydrated, protect them from UV rays, and give me a more youthful look! What more could a girl ask for!?

Available on Amazon.com, and most local drugstores.

Burt's Bees is a cruelty-free brand 🐰

Best Firming Face and Neck Serum | No 7 Firming Booster Serum

I've been into skincare since I was about 16 years old when my friends and I would go to Shoppers Drug Mart and purchase Loreal's Eye Cream. Even though I thought I had been pretty diligent about my skincare over the years, I must not have paid enough attention to my neck area, which is really the area that needs the most care as the skin is thinner and will most likely show the signs of aging the most as we age. Once the signs of aging show in the neck, it can be very difficult to treat without medical intervention. 

Now that I'm in my fifties, it seems like the signs of aging showed up on my neck overnight! This, on top of the fact that my oval face shape shows signs of aging in the form of sagging, has led me down the rabbit hole of trying every firming/ neck product that I came across, so I have tried many! 

Out of all of the firming/ neck products I have tried, I finally found the one that works best for me. It's No7 laboratories Firming Booster Serum.

From No 7:

Introducing the Non-Invasive Firming Solution: No7 Firming Booster Serum, designed to intensively target those areas that are prone to sagging to deliver fast, visible results. This non-invasive firming solution leaves skin feeling firmer with a hydrating blend of Hyaluronic Acid and Hibiscus Peptides.

• Clinically proven to lift, tone & tighten skin in 1 week.
• Look up to 5 years younger in 12 weeks.*
• Formulated with a highly concentrated amount of Matrixyl 3000+, No7’s powerful anti-wrinkle peptide technology from our clinically proven serums.
• Formulated with 4x the firming complex in our other clinically proven serums.
• With Hibiscus Seed Extract to help restore collagen levels and Hyaluronic Acid to plump skin at the surface level and deep within.

*Based on a correlation of expert grading of firmness and/or lift to age.

No7 Laboratories Firming Booster Serum is our most concentrated firming serum and is formulated to be applied directly to the skin in areas that are most prone to loss of firmness, such as the neck and jawline.

The serum comes in a squeeze tube and has 5 small metal rollerballs around the opening where the product dispenses. You only need a peppercorn size of product for each area; one for each side of the mouth going up to the brow, and one for the neck and jaw area. I do use the roller balls to apply the serum to each side of my face but I normally just use my fingers to massage the product upward on my neck area. 

After using this product along with all of my other skincare, I saw a noticeable difference after about a week. This is one of those products that really does what it claims and I am so happy! I barely even remember what my neck looked like before I started using this serum. I did stop using it to try out another neck/ firming cream and my neck went back to how it looked before I started this serum, so I was pretty happy to go back to No7 Booster Serum! The sagging has improved so much, my skin in firmer and the small little sagging ball of wrinkles that were forming in the center of my neck are all but gone! I was seriously considering surgery. Not to say I'll never have surgery, but for now, I'm good! There is also some firming around my jawline but the most noticeable difference is to my neck area. 

This serum addressed what bothered me the most (the sagging ball of wrinkles in the center of my neck). I think the other issue that bothers me, like some excess fat in my neck area, would best be addressed with improvements to my diet and more exercise.

Keep twist top in "off" position when not in use.

The tube has a twist top that keeps the product fresh. Just twist to the ON position to dispense the serum. Then using the rollerball head, apply to each area of the face with upward motions. As per the directions, I apply from my jaw upward to my brow on each side of my face, and then apply to my neck. Follow up with any other skincare products you choose. 

Twist to "on" position to squeeze out product

Dispense a peppercorn size amount of product for each area

The serum is thin and blends into the skin beautifully. It leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated without any greasy residue. I notice a very slight fragrance but nothing bothersome. 

Because this is a booster serum, it can layered with many other skincare products. In fact, I've yet to find something that it cannot be layered with. I always start my skincare with this booster serum first and then apply my other products. It would probably work well with No7's other products as well. I actually discovered this Booster Serum when I was looking into repurchasing No7's Restore and Renew Face and Neck Serum. I had so many other products to finish up that I decided to give the Booster Serum a try as it sounded so good and could be used with my other serums that I needed to finish up. 

I'm so glad that I decided to give No7 Booster Serum a chance. So many products don't live up to their claims but this serum really does! The price is very reasonable and the product lasts for a long time. I'm actually just starting my second tube and I don't think I'll ever stop using it!

Hopefully, my neck will never give away my age now!

How To Get A Healthy Summer Tan Instantly | St Tropez Gradual Tan Tinted

I've never been a fan of how heavy or full coverage makeup looks on me, so I have always veered towards products with sheer, light coverage. I also love to add some colour to my face so I look healthy instead of having that pale and pasty dead look, which may look good on some people, but I'm not one of them. I always need to add some colour to my face, and since I always protect my face from the sun these days, I rarely have a natural tan, so I reach for St. Tropez Gradual Tan Tinted for an instant sun-kissed look.

I've been using St Tropez Gradual Tan Everyday Tinted Moisturizer and Primer for years now. I love it all year round but especially in the Spring and Summer. It gives my pale skin a sheer wash of colour for a healthy sun-kissed look. And, it's not only a tinted moisturizer, it's also a gradual tanner AND primer all in one. I love multi tasking products like this!

About:

• 4-in-1 tint, tan, nourish and prime.
• For an instant hint of sheer skin-perfecting coverage with a buildable sun-kissed glow that develops over 4-8 hours.
• Formulated with non pore-blocking ingredients, this nourishing face primer is an ideal base for makeup or a no makeup look.
• Take the edge off of dull or tired looking skin, with a hint of tint that lasts.
• Apply to face and decolletage everyday or so for a hydrating and natural looking, golden tan that lasts for days. Be sure to wash hands afterwards.
• Ultra-lightweight, refreshing and non-sticky.
• 100% vegan-friendly

The product comes in an easy to dispense squeeze-y tube. Although the color is pretty dark, it's so sheer that it can work on most skintones, from very fair to darker skinned gals and guys.

I need less than pea sized amount to cover my face and neck. I blend it out over my moisturizer using my finger tips and add more as needed. My face instantly looks like I have a healthy, natural tan without the harmful rays of the sun, and I can control the intensity by adding as much or as little as I like.

I actually wish it came in a smaller sized bottle because I use so little of it that I rarely finish the 50ml bottle before it expires.

Before applications  (please ignore cat scratches.  Lol) 

Use a small amount initially, and add more until you reach your desired look.

After blending out a small amount

Once blended out with my finger tips, I follow up with whatever makeup I'm in the mood for. Lately, I've been reaching for cream blush and bronzer with a tinted lip balm, some mascara and I'm done. Even if I just use this plus mascara and a tinted lip balm, it makes me feel more put together and better about how I look and feel. 

I love how quickly and easily this product gives me that tanned, healthy look, and you can still see my skin through it, so it always looks very natural. 

If you are looking for a quick and simple way to get a healthy Summer glow, I highly recommend your give St Tropez Gradual Tan Tinted a try!
