First Aid Beauty: Ultra Repair Cream

If you've been following my blog for a while, you know by now that I have a combination to oily skin. But when I went to NYC, my skin dried out like nothing else. My l'Oréal gel moisturiser did not help at all, so I had to find a solution which hydrated my skin without making it burst out into oils.

I found the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream at Sephora. I've heard about it onlline and it has gotten a lot of good reviews, so I thought I'd give a fair chance. If I didn't like it for my face, I could still use it for my body.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

As soon as I opened it, I was surprised it looked like a thick cream. Yes, it would give back the moisture I need, but will it make me look shiny as well? Luckily it didn't. It's probably due to the cold weather I had there.

Back in Belgium, where it's not warm but not as cold in NYC as well, I tried this out on my skin.

I must say, this cream does absorbs fairly quick and well. I'm quite pleased with this product as I will be able to use a cream. Me! A cream! :)

It's fragrance free, free of parabens and it's safe for those with sensitive skin.

I bought a travel size as well in case I would like it. Turns out I kind of love it! I'm also bought the cleanser, which received good reviews as well. I'm excited to give that one a try and I'll keep you all posted on it!

Review: Love Therapy Labello

To labello or not to labello? That's the question!

If you've read my blog for some time now, you probably know I have a slight lip balm addiction (as in I'd inject myself some lip balm to have baby smooth lips...just kidding!)

Up: Rasperry Dream - Down: Diabolo Dream

Recently I received 2 limited editions on the Love Therapy collection from Labello (thank you my lovelies).

They're the Diabolo Mint and the Raspberry Dream.

Top: Raspberry Dream - Below: Diabolo Dream

Raspberry dream:

• a nice raspberry scent which is not too overpowering
• pretty sheen (this gives a slight pink sheen)

Diabolo mint:

• a minty scent which can gives your lips a tingly feeling
• very light sheen (barely noticeable)

Conclusion, I prefer the raspberry version.
I'm the kind of girl who prefers sweet scents, especially over minty products, unless when it comes down to my teeth hygiene.

I like shiny lip balms, especially if they have a sweet scent and a very subtle pink sheen to them.

Next to how they perform, let me mention the packaging.
As you can see on the first picture, there's a little dwarf drawn on each labello which makes it very loveable and cute to carry around.

I can't hide my love for Labello's, they'll forever be my first love when it comes to lip balms. Labello, wo ai ni :)
