I was previously using Vichy Aqualia Thermal Night Spa and was expecting this to be similar but it wasn't. Considering this cream is considered light I found it to be very thick and heavy on my skin. Although visually it didn't look greasy it left my skin feeling tacky long after applying. Despite the claim that it replumps fine lines I didn't notice much of a difference on my faint number elevens. This product is 97% natural which I like but compared to other Vichy products that I have tried and loved in the past this sadly wasn't one of them. Perhaps it would work better on someone with dry skin as opposed to my normal skin type. -

I have four kids and have tried different brands but my favorite so far is the Huggies Simply Clean. I subscribe and save on Amazon so I get them at a good price and they are gwnle enough to not only be used on baby bottoms but face and hands as well. They are thick, durable and Fragrance free. For diapers I prefer pampers but for wipes it's huggies all the way. -

The first facial cleansing oil I have ever used was by Josie Maran and I absolutely loved it. It was a bit expensive so I wanted to see if a less expensive one would be just as effective. This one has a rosehip oil Fragrance so would be no good for those that don't like fragrance in their skincare products. After applying it to damp hands and massageing it into your face it doesn't lather so much as gets slightly milky. It does an ok job at removing my makeup however it doesnt remove all of my mascara. That's a bit disappointing since I don't even use Waterproof mascara. I like that even though it's an oil it doesn't leave a greasy residue on my skin. I still end up haveing to double cleans on the day I wear makeup just for the fact that it doesn't clean all of my mascara off.
The pump bottle is 190 ml and it lasts a long time and it's reasonably priced. It contains grapeseed, Jojo a, rosehip oil, Vitamin c and alot of other good ingredients for your skin. It claims to deep cleanse and brighten along with removing makeup and impurities. I personally didn't notice my skin being any brighter. Maybe I should let it sit more on my face and it would be more effective. I definitely want to try other oil cleansers to try to find one that compares to Josie Maran.

I found this quite different than your regular Quaker granola bars. It was thinner, and quite a bit chewier. It had a very light peanut butter taste that was almost non existant so if your looking for an intense peanut butter flavor this is not for you. It was both sweet and salty. I found the salty more intense than the sweetness but only because I don't add salt to my food so I think I'm more sensitive to it. I found the occasional crunchy peanuts broke up the monotony of the texture and the dark chocolate pieces on the top made it a nice little dessert. This bar contains 3 g of protein and fibre and is made of whole grains. It contains 7 grams of sugar so there's not much nutritional value however its by far healthier than a chocolate bar. If you're looking for something a little more filling you will need a protein bar in place of a granola bar. This is still a nice little snack to keep handy if you have a bit of a sweet tooth. -

When it comes to instant coffee Nescafe has always been my brand of choice. It's always reasonably priced and tastes good. If you're in a pinch and want something quick this is perfect. Just open the pouch, pour the powder in your cup, boil water and add then drink up. If you're like me and don't like your coffee overly sweet this is perfect. I didn't even need to add sugar. The part that amazed me the most was this coffee actually froths on the top like a real Cappuccino. It might not be gourmet but when I am on the go and don't have time to make a homemade Cappuccino this will do. It would be great for camping and travelling. -

This is a nice creamy cleanser that feels gentle on the skin. It does a good job leaving my skin feeling clean and after washing my face doesn't feel dry and tight. Although it removes light makeup I still needed to use makeup remover to get rid of all my mascara. I love that this product contains antioxidants and it's safe for Sensitive skin as well as hypoallergenic. I had the small 2 oz tube and it lasted me a little over a month making it a good value. The only thing I didn't like about this product was despite being Fragrance free I found it had a very unpleasant scent. Every time I washed my face with this I thought I was smelling baby puke. I have a baby so that is always possible but I got two other people to smell it and they also thought it smelled like baby puke. Maybe I got a bad batch I am not sure. If it wasn't for the unpleasant scent I would have gave it a much higher rating. -

This is a thick serum that is very moisturizing. With continuous use It left my skin looking plump and healthy. If you have normal skin like myself this could be worn on its own. If yours is more dry I would recommend using a moisturizer over top. I use this morning and night. Now that I have discovered hyaluronic acid it is something I will not live without. I love that Vichy put this in a simple blue pump style bottle. I almost always find their jars and bottles look beautiful enough to be left out on display. This serum didn't seem to be scented and felt clean and fresh on the face. It does take a minute or so to absorb but once it does it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I do prefer Vichy's Mineral 89 more just because it's more light and I can still apply a moisturizer overtop with different ingredients. -

This is a very thick, rich luxurious cream that leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. I was afraid it would leave my skin looking and feeling greasy but it didn't. It was left looking healthy and well hydrated. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five was the scent. I received the citrus scented one and I do not like citrus body products because I find they usually remind me of household cleaners. I am happy that they do have other scents as well as unscented which is what I will try next. -

If you have normal skin like myself this cream is perfect. It has a gel/cream feel to it, spreads easily and absorbs like a dream. It is lightly scented. To me the scent is black tea and fruit. If you like unscented products this will not be for you. I decided to try this cream not only because Vichy is my main go to brand but I'm also a mother to three small kids ranging from four and under. I don't get much sleep at all.
In my opinion this cream did everything it promised. My skin was left looking and feeling smooth. I was left with nice glowing even tone skin. I don't have large pores so I can't say if it refines large pores or not. I also don't have wrinkles other than my slight number elevens between my eyes on my forehead from squinting but I didn't see much of a difference there. I guess for 40 years old I am doing pretty good since everyone guesses me to be anywhere between 28-30.
I have been using this cream every morning along with a vitamin C serum as well as the Idealia serum that goes along with this cream. French skin care is my favorite. I believe it's because they add mineralizing thermal water. I have been using this brand since I was 16 and I will thank them for the fact that I still have really nice skin for my age.

I have been using this along with the Idealia Smoothness & Energizing Cream for a month and a half. I have to say I love the beautiful, sleek glass pump bottle that it comes in. It is a red Ombre color that looks very chic and expensibe. I only use this once daily in the morning and since I only need one pump for my entire face the 30 ml bottle will last about three months.
This is a nice clear serum that spreads easily and melts into the skin like water. It doesn't leave it feeling tacky. It is however not overly moisturizing. If you have dry skin you will definitely need to use a moisturizer over top. The scent is a pretty strong floral scent so it would not be liked by everyone.
With continued use I noticed my complexion was brighter and more even toned. Since I already have very small pores I didn't notice a change. As for reducing wrinkles I only have very faint number frown lines and I didn't notice any change at all. Although this serum didn't show major results it does contain antioxidant and Vichy mineralizing Thermal Water which I know is protecting my skin from environmental aggressors and keeping it healthy which will help me age gracefully.
