Been a while since I posted and was really feeling the new henna brows today. People have always made fun of them bad. Funny tho when getting this done (it makes the hair dark) I was told I have by esthetician standards I have naturally perfect thick shaped brows just not easy to see because I'm a strawberry blonde, so guess all of you who take the piss out of me due to my "invisabrows" can offically F off (Ps I dont support James Charles in light of what he did just love the colors in pallete) #hennabrows #carylbakervisage #browsonfleek #brows #makeup #morephe #jamescharlespallete #anastasiabeverlyhills #larocheposay #larocheposayskincare #milkcosmetics #nyxcosmetics #benefitbrows #snatch&lift #vicyskincare #vichycanada #alternativegirl #redhead #strawberryblonde #strongmakeupgame #makeupaddict #articfoxhaircolor #lushskincare #yvesroche #yvesrocheskincare https://www.instagram.com/p/CRmeQipJTds/?utm_medium=tumblr

Look of the day, and a few things I'm using for hyperpigmentation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There's a ton of information out there, and I've really liked some of the information compiled by @devsday. I think the most important thing that I've learned is that there's no ONE ingredient that will do all the work, so it's better to use a combination of ingredients in your routine. Most importantly, sunscreen will help you keep the results you've worked for. And retinoids are still the gold standard in working towards better skin. Here's what I've been using since January, and right now (May) I'm at a place where I like my skin without makeup and I think it has improved. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The first product has to be sunscreen. It has to be. I wear it everyday, yes, even if I'm inside, and if it's cloudy. There's just no other way. What if it's cloudy and then the sun comes out and I've gone for a walk? Well, I'll probably forget to put it on, so I just have it on all the time no matter what. It's part of my morning routine. I'm using the Murad Environmental Shield. Someone on my Youtube complained about the $70 price tag, but I like it and it's very moisturizing too. ANY sunscreen is good as long as you're using it lots. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The second product is prescription tret, yes, prescribed by my doctor when I complained about pigmentation. My skin is still flaking off all the time, but I've gotten into a bit of a routine with this. I've worked up to using it twice a week with a minimal amount of peeling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tranexamic Acid and niacin or niacinamide. Vichy or The A Method. I use one or the other and they're both pretty gentle actually. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Vitamin C at a decent percentage. This Boscia Vitamin C is still one of my favourites. It's 10% and has a light texture. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 10% Azelaic Acid Booster from PC or the Vivier Corrector 2. Both of these are over-the-counter products and they seem to be lasting forever. #muradskincare #hyperpigmentationtreatment #melasmatreatment #retinoid #vichycanada #skincarecanada #skincarereviews #selfie #boscia #tranexamicacid #paulaschoice #hyperpigmentation #vivierskin #vivier #hydroquinone https://www.instagram.com/p/CduBh9dJ7bd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When was the last time you found a product that was truly offering you something you didn’t already have? At the end of every week when I clean up my bathroom counter, I put away 3 or 4 bottles of serums or treatments and I often wish there was one that had everything, roses and contained to work just right. Well this @vichylaboratoires serum does it. 5% Niacinamide, exfoliating glycolic acid, and antioxidant vitamin C. There’s also Tranexamic acid which is a newer “it ingredient”. I have a more expensive Tranexamic acid serum but it doesn’t have all these other ingredients too, so I’d rather use this. It’s a watery formula and a one-and-done kind of situation and supposed to reduce hyperpigmentation. It’s too soon to tell whether it works, but at least the ingredients have successes behind them. Once it has absorbed, I use 2 pumps of the sunscreen as a first layer. I mean, I’ve also upped my retinol so I’m being careful and protecting my skin barrier, but so far so good. I know a few people have tried this or are using it - what do you think so far? *gifted #vichycanada #liftactiv #vichyskinjourney #bnation #skincarecanada #canadianbeauty #canadianbeautyblogger #darkspottreatment #skincarereview #skincarethatworks #skincarebloggers https://www.instagram.com/p/CZM3Kvdpxht/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’m just going to say that Black Friday is great for picking up things you are already using anyway. Skincare is in that category. You’re already going to use cleansers and serums so if you see your favs on sale, it’s a good time to get them. @vichylaboratoires is having a 25% off sale site wide (no code needed) and if you spend $75 then you get a gift. Personally, I’ve not done any Black Friday shopping yet, have you? Drop what you’ve bought in the comments. #vichycanada #giftedproduct #blackfriday2021 #vichycybermonth @bnation_bicom #bnation #skincarecanada #skinsta #vichyskincare #skincaredeals #skincaredaily #oilyskin #oilyskincare #oilyskincareroutine #skincareroutine https://www.instagram.com/p/CWwp7zmpDcS/?utm_medium=tumblr

This Vichy Liftactiv vitamin C serum has 15% vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid, so not only is it providing antioxidants to your routine, but also a bit of hydration. I use this as a first step after cleansing and the use moisturizer or even just sunscreen on top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Using vitamin C before your sunscreen can even improve how well your sunscreen works, but you can use it wherever it fits into your routine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you use a vitamin C serum? I think that they're everywhere and widely recommended, but only people really into skincare are using them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #gifted #vichy #vichycanada #vitaminc #vitamincserum #skincareroutine #skinsta #hydratedskin #antiaging #dryskin #skincarecanada #skinsta https://www.instagram.com/p/CWJVUUZPvUz/?utm_medium=tumblr

A few things I finished and which ones I loved: @muradskincare Daily Clarifying Peel. There is no peeling occurring with this toner/serum but it has a tiny dose of AHA, BHA and retinoid. I used it every morning and every night just to wipe excess residue, make up, cleanser off my skin. It was great for that and I really enjoyed how it smelled. It smells kind of herbal and really pleasant. @kerastase_official Elixir Ultime. Don’t come at me, I know that this is a more expensive version of a L’Oreal oil, however I’ve had this bottle for years and I actually bought it before L’Oreal had come out with their version (L’Oreal and Kerastase are both under the same parent company bracket). Anyway… Your L team is really great for detangling hair and it makes your hair really soft so I did enjoy using it. I seem to go through a lot of hair products. @urbandecaycosmetics All-Nighter Setting Spray. I finished a full size bottle of the setting spray before but it’s been a few years since I used it. This little mini size came with a Sephora order and I used it all week and I found it really helped keep it up then even under a mask. Of course if you’re wearing a mask all day and talking and basically living through it lots of your skin care, sunscreen, make up is going to end up on the mask but at the end of the day I did find that a lot of it was more intact than it would’ve been otherwise. I really liked this. I have a couple of bottles of different setting sprays that I want to use up but if I was getting one, this would be it. @vichylaboratoires Dercos Energizing Shampoo and Conditioner. Loved both of these for the bit of minty tingle they gave my scalp. #empties #vichycanada #urbandecayallnighter #kerastaseelixirultime #kerastasecanada #murad https://www.instagram.com/p/CV8QS_YPgC4/?utm_medium=tumblr

It’s ok. Tested out this @vichylaboratoires Dry Touch SPF 50 sunscreen last week and I really wanted to love it… but the verdict is… it’s ok. I love it for my face. It has a soft powdery texture and a matte finish that lets makeup glide on and stay on. I can feel the powder at the end of the day too, so it’s mattifying as it’s protecting. The powdery finish does kind of show up as powder on my tan skin, but that’s ok. I don’t mind it even if I don’t wear makeup. If you have any dry spots, this will definitely stick to them just like powder or a matte foundation would. But I hated this for the body. That white powder gets on your clothes and if you wear dark colours like I do, that’s a problem. The white is literally everywhere. I’ll keep this on hand for my face but I won’t use it on my body. #vichycanada https://www.instagram.com/p/CQmrcpYBAhb/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is the @VichyLaboratories Dercos Anti-Hair Loss Box of Treatments. It’s a 21 day program - a serum that you apply to your scalp. I'm using it now, I'm on my third day, so stay tuned! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Apparently, this has 5 ingredients that helps prevent hair loss. Would you try this? I know lots of you are interested in maintaining the health of your hair, so I will report back. I will say that because this is a treatment that can be used on wet or dry hair, I'm finding it easy to incorporate into my routine. I put it on right after I wash my hair and I'm good to go. Normally treatments need to be applied before washing and they need to sit there for a while, and I just don't have that kidn of time on my hands. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you've tried this or a treatment you like, let us know in the comments! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *Provided compliments of Vichy. #vichycanada #sampleproductprovided. https://www.instagram.com/p/CQMQa3ZBQfh/?utm_medium=tumblr
