Review Dior Creme de Rose

If you've known me for a while, you'd know I'm a lip balm hoarder. I LOOOOOVE me some lip balm. Whether they're cheap or expensive, I'll give them a fair chance to convince me :)

After reading and watching so many people talk about this item, I just had to get the Dior Creme de Rose lip balm.

Dior - Crème De Rose lip balm

This is a little pot with a pink cream in it. It has a slight rose fragrance to it, but nothing too much that will overpower it. It does leave my lips soft and the texture is quite pleasant. It's a thick texture, which reminds me of vaseline.

Next to this, it does have disadvantages:
the price for once. Dior products aren't cheap, and neither is this one.
Secondly, it's not very hygienic. Unfortunately you have to dip with your fingr in the pot to get the product out.

It claims to be a smoothing plumping lip balm.
I do have to admit it does makes my lips rather smooth after having some of these magic on my lips.
But as for plumping, I don't notice anything at all.

Is it worth the hype? 
I don't think so. This is very expensive for a lip balm. It's not hygienic enough, and although it does softens the lips, it's not worth the money you spent.

It actually kind of reminds the Nivea lip butters. It's a thick texture, a pot where you need to dip the product out. You do get more from the Dior, but for the price you pay, that's the least you can expect.

I use this every time before I go to bed, so my lips can absorb the cream overnight.

I'm sure I won't repurchase this, but I will continue to enjoy this :)

Review Vichy Normaderm

Raise your hand if sudden breakouts decide to pop out on occasions you want to look picture perfect? *tries to reach for the roof with my hand*

You know how it goes, you try to do everything before hand to look good for a special occasion: you've washed your hair, you've shaved, you know what make up look you're going for, you know what outfit to wear and right when you're ready to go to bed to get your 8 hours of sleep (uhum!) you look into the mirror and you see that a little friend on your face has decided to join you tomorrow, yay!

Then it's time to take out the big guns and kill your little friend, mwoehahaha!

I'm talking about Vichy Normaderm concentrate.

It's an active anti-imperfection concentrate to put on sudden localized pimples.

It's a green creme that contains salicylic acid that will dry out the breakout within 24 hours.

Preferably to put on before going to bed to let it sink in and take out that blemish before you getting up.

For those who are wondering, it does says it's hypoallergenic, so for those who have sensitive skin or whose skin is likely to have allergic reactions to products, this Normaderm is gentle enough to put on the skin.

You might have heard about the tooth paste trick: it's supposedly to dry out the zits. Please know that this can't be good for your skin. Tooth paste contains fluoride and for those withe sensitive skin: this can cause the zits to spread out even more!
And apparently, non-fluoridated toothpaste can irritate the skin as well. It might inflame the skin if it contains peppermint oil.

Be careful before putting a certain product on your skin by reading the ingredients. And should you want to try a certain product, apply it somewhere that you can cover up easily if it does cause irritation.
Please do realize that a certain product that works for your friend doesn't necessarily mean that it'll work for you too. If you're not sure what will work for you after doing tons of research, go see a dermatologist. (S)He will be gladly to advise you a product which is suited perfectly for your skin.

Good luck with your skin adventure!
