  • Getting My Skin Summer Ready

    Last week I received two samples in the mail and today I finally got to try them out.

    I’ll be giving my thoughts on erborian’s Ginseng BB Cream and both the Minéral 89 Daily Booster and Minéral 89 Eyes from Vichy.

    I want to state that I’ve never used a BB Cream before but I have heard of them and I’ve heard that some of them can be drying so it’s best to use a moisturizer before applying your BB Cream, I decided to use the Daily Booster first so here is what I thought of it.

    Daily Booster by Vichy

    I applied little drops on my face and spread it from the center outward, the product felt a little thicker than water and I had no problem spreading it on my face or throat. It absorbed quickly and left no residue behind. The scent is very agreeable, it’s not cloying and once applied it doesn’t linger.

    You can purchase the Daily Booster for 21,20€

    I have terrible dark circles around my eyes and having a 4-month-old who doesn’t sleep hasn’t helped so I used the Eyes serum next.

    Eyes by Vichy

    I took less than a pea-sized amount and applied it under both my eyes, the product felt creamy and thicker than the Booster but quickly absorbed into the skin, like the Booster the scent is not overly present and doesn’t linger.

    And finally, I applied the BB Cream.

    Ginseng BB Cream by erborian

    The BB Cream I received was in the shade Caramel, it has a very pleasing odor, it smells lightly floral, you really don’t need that much product so I applied some pea-sized drops and spread it from the center outward. I wasn’t sure if Caramel would match my skin tone but it’s hard to tell that I have anything on my face.

    You can purchase the BB Cream for 16,90€

    As you can see both Vichy and erborian have helped me achieve Summer-Ready Skin.
