Hey girls! So in the summer, to keep your skin from aging, you always should use SPF, but I know all of us hate the oiliness of sun block. That’s why you should use a moisturizer with built in SPF. Today, I will be reviewing the Senna Daily Defense Antioxidant Moisturizer SPF 15. Now, generally Senna is known for their amazing line of cosmetic product, but I didn’t hesitate to use their skincare products because Senna is a high quality brand. Its retails for $22 and you get 2 oz. of product. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-Great SPF protection.
-Not oily or greasy.
-Lightweight and contains vitamin c, green tea, and aloe.
-Thick in consistency, but absorbs quickly and sheers out as you apply.
-Has a pump which is very controllable and doesn’t leave a white tint like other sun blocks do.
Con(s):
-A bit pricey for $22 since the bottle is tinier than expected.
Overall review: As all of you can see, this has tons of pros, because I just think it’s absolutely amazing. It definitely softened my face because it has aloe and jojoba. It doesn’t have a scent which is good and it doesn’t leave a greasy feel. It made my face feel like a baby’s bum. I do think that you get little product for $22, but it’s really worth it if you want soft skin with sun protection. I personally think it’s amazing, but for people who are on a budget, you should save up for this. Also, it’s best for normal to oily skin so I don’t think girls with dry skin should venture out to this. Thanks to Nicky for requesting this review and I hope everyone else enjoyed!

Review: Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser Dry/Sensitive
Hey girls! Today I will be fulfilling a reader’s request. She actually has been asking for this review forever. Well, here it is Julianne. I’m reviewing the Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturizer for dry/sensitive skin. It contains tons of natural and essential oils. They have two types a packaging available. You can get 1.6 fl oz of product for $31 in a jar or tube. You can also buy multi packs off of their website. Keep reading to see why I’ve been worshipping it ever since I got it!
Pro(s):
-Moisturizes well and contains natural oils such as avocado oil.
-Doesn’t test on animals nor does it contain animal extracts.
-Protects skin and absorbs quickly with no greasy feeling.
-A little bit will take you a long way.
Con(s):
-The scent bothers me because it’s so botanical, but others might like it so it’s a matter of personal preference.
Overall review: I really like this moisturizer since it’s great for dry/sensitive skin. I actually mix my foundation with it for the days that I don’t feel like using a heavy foundation and those days, people say my skin in glowing. I think it’s because of all the naturally active ingredients in it like avocado oil and natural vitamin E. Those ingredients are really good for the skin and if your moisturizer has them, you’re a lucky lady. Te thing I like most is that they have a tube available and a jar so whoever likes digging their fingers in their moisturizer, there something for you too. For all of you other germophobes, there is a tube with the exact amount the jar has and for the same price. I think the price might bother some people, but if you can pay so much for MAC Strobe Cream, then you should definitely get this. Thanks to Julianne for requesting this review and thanks for reading!

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes, for really damaged dry skin, this is the way to go!

Review: Marie Louise Facial Moisturizer
Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Marie Louise Facial Moisturizer. You can buy it for $75 currently since they have a 31% discount at the beginning of the month but its original price is $109. You can purchase it at their website (the link is in the right bar). You get 1.06 ounces of product. Keep reading to know more!
Pro(s):
-Very moisturizing.
-Plumps and firms my skin.
-It doesn’t make me greasy.
Con(s):
-Made me break out and I have dry skin in the winter.
Overall review: I really like this product for the winter months when your skin is dehydrated and dry. It absorbs in very fast and it feels very soft on your skin. I fell that it’s best for older people because it might be too thick for younger skin. It can cause little bumps on your skin. Other than that, it made be break out, but it wasn’t that bad. I just really like it, but not for summer. Thanks to Gina for requesting this review and I hope all of my readers enjoy my review!

Review: LeVin Skincare Face Cream
Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Le Vin Face Cream with Antioxidant Wine Therapy. This ingredient keeps your skin from environmental stressors. It also doesn’t make your skin appear like its aging. As we all know, for decades people have been drinking red wine and water to keep their skin healthy, but now you don’t have to do that because using this cream will create that appearance on your face. The ingredient that I saw in it and got excited was Hyaluronic Acid which de-puffs and doesn’t make your skin dull. I used to use an eye cream with Hyaluronic Acid and it de-puffed my eyes and made them look alive. Keep reading to see what my opinion on this product is.
Pro(s):
-Very moisturizing and doesn’t grease up my face throughout the day.
-It doesn’t smell bad. I actually like it because it’s light and not too strong.
-Cute packaging.
-A little bit goes a long way and it’s organic.
Con(s):
-None found while testing this product!
Overall review: I just love this face cream. It’s not too thick or too runny. It’s right in the middle. It’s made of a lot of organic ingredients like Chamomile and Lavender as well as Sunflower seed Oil and Flax Seed oil. The thing I like most about this product is that it doesn’t create those small bumps on my face that happen when I use thick face creams. The reason behind that is that your skin can’t absorb all of that thick moisturizer so thus your skin becomes mildly irritated to it and you get bumps. Note: I am in no way a professional for skincare and what works for me may not work for you. I hope Julie enjoyed my review since she was the one who requested it. All of you other viewers too I hope you enjoy!
Rating: 10/10 :)
Is it VICKY approved? : Yes, I love this stuff!
