I liked this serum but i used during the day only. Why ? Well since it's all kind of shiny/sparkly i didn't think it would be that useful to use it at night and i tried to combine it with Skin sleep, the ( most awesome ) night cream and it kind of stayed sticky a lil'bit. Guess my skin wasn't up for it. But it's summer, it's hot in here. Maybe winter would have been different ?! Anyway, i used it in the morning and guess what ? I liked the glowing effect so much that after 2 weeks, when i saw a real difference on my skin ( moisturized, bye-bye fine lines, hello glow, ciao break-out ), i just stopped using foundation during the day. Yep. You heard me. I'm actually using the serum in the morning, i add aqualia as a day cream, i use skin sleep at night and i do feel and see an healthier skin ! I'll be trying the BB cream for sure.
I have a ton of blackheads on my chin from smoking and PMS and wow, the difference is huge. The smell is soothing, the texture is pleasing, the packaging is oh so cute and as a beauty consultant in a drugstore, i'll be pleased to introduce my clients to this wonderful line of skincare.
Thank you Vichy.

I received this product from Chick Advisor. I've been using it for the past few weeks and danggg i love it. First of all, the texture is really nice. It's more like a gel but when you apply it, it feels like a balm, without being sticky or anything. I was scared i would break out ( my skin tends to do that duh ) but nope, not at all. I noticed the first morning that my skin was more comfortable, more moisturized. It felt great. I started using the serum too but only in the morning so i could get this nice glowy skin.
Now let's talk about all my bad habits. I'm in law school, i live on redbull and coffee therefore i don't sleep much... Moreover, i smoke cigarettes when i'm nervous and i hate wearing sunscreen on a daily basis. Awesome... I know. Mom must be so proud. #shame
This product does wonder. There is some AHA in it, a gentle exfoliation, and really i saw a big difference with fine lines on my forehead from frowning too much. The smell is really soothing and made specially to be a part of your g'night routine. The texture is rich, but just enough so you feel it when it's applied. It penetrates fast. I was under the impression that my skin was kind of detoxified ( yes sister ), i get a lot of blackheads on my chin from PMS & smoking. It really helped with this issue; that made me really really happy. Then...
Did i say moisturizing ?
Overall, i really enjoyed using this product. I still look tired but my skin def' looks healthier. I'm happy ´cause summer is here, and my new glow is pretty enough to keep me away from foundation during the day.
Amen to that.
Not only will i purchase this again, i plan on buying the BB cream and the eye contour. Also, as a beauty consultant in a drugstore, i'll be happy to present this product to my new and existent customers.

I have a love/hate relationship with Chanel perfumes. Been working in the industry far too long, I get easily bored when it comes to perfume and most of the time, it all goes back to the same scent. When we received Coco Noir i was really curious about the fragrance, but damn i love it ! It's sultry, sexy but not too strong. It's in-between Coco Mademoiselle et Allure Sensuelle. I'm pleased. -

Ahhh Lancôme ! The product is expensive. Allright. Other than that, the texture is kind of silky, it feels completely smooth, no need to use a ton of product and you still get great coverage. You get a really natural matte finish. Even out complexion. Light finish.
If you're looking for a lot of coverage, you might want to try something else. I would recommand it for normal/combination skin. Maybe even oily because of its matte finish but the result is natural, light and i'd say light to medium coverage.

I was impatiently waiting for this product. The texture and smell is pretty much identical as the other biotherm body lotions ( a kind of light citrus smell ? ). I have a very fair complexion, my legs are so light that you notice every single imperfection or veins. At first the liquid is white but when you apply it on your skin and you massage the product, that's where you get the awesomeness. You get a nice subtil golden glow and an even complexion. It took care of my lil scars, pores, shaving bumps, ugly veins and all that jazz. Ready to wear a skirt ! -

AWESOME. It took me a while to get used to it. To know how to get the best of it. But then, wow. No need to exfoliate, this does the job. The only advise i can give to you is to "let it do its job" which means don't press the brush too hard on your skin, the vibration does all the work alone. If you have sensitive skin, you may want to use it twice a week maybe ? At first, i hated it. I was told to use it every single day, i had a break-out, i heard it was an "adaptation period", huh huh. No. This is still a brush. That vibrates. AND exfoliate. Using it every day may or may not be a good idea.
Other than that, amazing glow, soft skin, best skin prep for lotions and all, get rid of dead cells, helps with fine lines.
awesome.

I surely understand the hype about this product: proven to be good, cheap and efficient.
I do have to specify that this is really harsh, i wouldn't recommend this to someone with sensitive skin or with acne problems. According to me, this is not a "daily" product. It can easily destroy the natural pH of your skin if you're not careful so it's awesome for someone with normal skin or even oily skin, but then again, once a week & that's it. It does its job, it exfoliates. It smells good, it's affordable, it's a must-have to give your skin a good cleanse once in a while.

I love this shampoo. There is only one tiny problem. I am a platinum blond with over-processed hair. I can use it maybe once or twice a month. It does an awesome job at removing build-up, cleaning up the scalp, stripping the hair from every ounce of oil/dirt so it can be shiny, bouncy, voluminous and all that jazz. My hair is so broken and fragile that using this product often is like a suicide, i have to use it sometimes, it removes half of my hair dye, my hair gets really dry but then again, this is solely my problem since i am responsible for chemically killing it. Therefore, i recommend it to everyone with normal hair, thin hair, natural hair and i'll say to my over-processed sister to stay away cause this thing kind of exfoliate your hair, and sometimes all you need is a prayer and coconut oil.
Love.

This thing is expensive. That would be it.
BUT. There is a huge BUT.
It's awesome.
First, you can use it as any oil. On your face, body and hair. It is an awesome moisturizer and it'll leave your skin moisturized, glowing, and shining. It was said before but it does an amazing job at prolonging your tan, and giving the glow everyone's looking for.
Then, this product also has another special feature that not many are aware of. It can give you a milky bath. Duh. When you mix the oil with a tiny bit of water in your hand, you can see the texture and the formula of the product change: it becomes like a cleansing milk. This is nice. Then, if you apply this awesome chemistry by pouring some of the product in your bath, you'll get a milk bath, moisturizing, calming, soothing, smelling good...
Oh well. This product is awesome. Lierac is awesome.
