Sample Review #2

Here we go beauties another sample review hope you like it. Hey I didn't ramble today, straight into the topic, that's a first! Lol! 


I have finished both of these and I can honestly tell you that the Bioderma Corrective Care for Enlarged Pores is a miss for me because it is so drying on my skin. My skin feels extremely uncomfortable after using it. It's like a pore minimizing primer type of thingy as it feels kinda siliconey. It might work for extremely oily skin types but definitely not for someone who has normal or dry skin, not even on slight oily skins I would say because it is that drying. It smells lovely though and that's about it. I will not purchase the full size that's for sure! 

(Too matte, too drying for me)

However the Clarins Extra-Firming Day Cream is rather lovely. I had a full size of this years ago and I loved it. I mean Clarins products rarely disappoint me. They just seem to bring it when it comes to skincare products. It's very rich and creamy, extremely hydrating and nourishing. It's targeted for women who are over 30 but again I think everyone can use it over the age of 25. 

Now it says it's for all skin types but I personally don't think it would be suitable for oily skins because of the richness of the cream. It might make you oily throughout the day but for normal to dry skin you need to get yourselves a tub of this. The only downside is no SPF but I can layer my SPF over it, no big deal. It smells really nice like all Clarins products do. 


Now comes to the good stuff. I leave the best till the last. This Abeille Royale Day Cream (normal to combo skin) by Guerlain is so lush. I had 3 little bags of this and it is heaven. O...M...G seriously it is so gorgeous. It's rich yet light on the skin. It's very nourishing and I do feel my skin looks very healthy, plumped and youthful after using this. It is incredible. I just fell head over heels with this stuff BUT it is so expensive. It costs €70.90 for 30ml (1fl Oz) and €106.90 for 50ml (1.7 fl Oz). I don't think I will buy it now as it is so ridiculously pricy but it is definitely on my Christmas shopping list. It would make a lovely Christmas present don't you think?! 

There you have it guys. I hope you've enjoyed my Sample Reviews so far. Another of these will be up on EBR (Elaine's Beauty Reviews) next week so stay tuned for that. Thank you so much for your time and see you all on Saturday! Muahh!
