Mischo Beauty: vitamin C

Showing posts with label vitamin C. Show all posts

What's your vitamin/supplement regimen?

As I mentioned in a post earlier today, I don't like to rely on supplements for all of my nutritional needs. But, my diet isn't perfect and I refuse to allow my hair, skin and nails to suffer because of it! I am constantly working to improve my diet, and I know I'll get there! But, in the meantime, I'm assisted with the regimen below:

- Multivitamin
- Flax Seed Oil
- Fish Oil
- Borage Oil
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B12
- Cod Liver Oil
- Veggie Greens
- Psyllium Husks

So my question for you today is: What's your vitamin/supplement regimen? What do you take and why?

Mischo Beauty Review: L'Oreal RevitaLift Radiant Smoothing Cream Cleanser

This cleanser really surprised me! I'm not sure of what I was expecting, but it definitely exceeded any expectations I might have had. The texture is somewhat thick, rich and very creamy- definitely heavier than a foaming face wash or a cleansing lotion. I tested this cleanser with my Clarisonic Skincare Brush- and in all seriousness- I ended up with a new layer of skin!

Thought it's a creamy cleanser, it also contains micro beads which exfoliate dead skin cells. Your skin is left soft, smooth and thoroughly cleansed! It also contains Vitamin C, which as most of you already know, is a very important anti-aging nutrient. Normally, creamy cleansers are recommended for very dry and mature skin types, but after reading the manufacturer's directions, I realized it's suggested for all skin types.

I personally would only use this during the dry, cold winter months- and I'd probably only use it two, maybe three times a week. It's a little heavy for my skin type (normal with an oily t-zone), but I do appreciate it's effectiveness. Oh, and because it's thicker than most cleansers, I'd recommend following it with a toner (for your skin type) to ensure there's no residue left behind and to restore the skin's natural pH.

Have you tried this cleanser?

Mischo Beauty Pick

I was recently given a Bloomingdales’ gift card (thanks to my sister Nikhel) and perfect for me I knew exactly what I was going to use it on. I’ve wanted to try Chanel’s Levres Scintillantes Glossimer lip gloss for some time now and at $26 (I’m used to buying two lip glosses for this price!) this was my opportunity.

So I purchased Bronze Crystal (limited edition) and Twinkle, and I must say - they definitely deliver the intense shimmer, shine and sparkle as promised! And the packaging- well, very chic and sophisticated. I love them and will tell you that they’re at the top of my list for lip glosses! The formula includes vitamins C and E for protection, and they’re water resistant to guarantee longer wear. While they’re a little more than I’d wear to the office (my co-workers are easily distracted!), I’ve been wearing them everywhere else!

Chanel’s “Levres Scintillantes Glossimer” gets my "Sexy, Healthy, Beautiful" stamp of approval!

What do you think?
