  1. Sampling Monday: The results are in, Part 6!

    Wednesday, September 9, 2015

    Old habits die hard and it's never too late to catch up on some Sampling Monday territory! I know it's Wednesday already and I know it's been some time since I wrote here, but I am here now.

    Arkham has not been easy for me but it's time I get the hang of it!

    Clinique "Custom-Repair Serum": I really really like to indulge into some pampering and serums and the perfect kinds of products to use before your moisturiser. This serum by Clinique is light, fragrance free and though the formula promises to firm and lift skin, reduce dark spots and even skin tone, improve radiance and texture. I didn't experience any big change, though my skin tended to feel smoother than it is.


    Estee Lauder "Sumptuous Extreme" mascara : I usually get excited over mini mascaras and this is no exception. The "Sumptuous Extreme" mascara has a conical wand, which is ideal to get the inner eyelashes and the formula runs a bit after a few hours. Apart from that little problem, the mascara gives a nice boost of volume and length to the lashes and separates them like a pro!

    Fresh Line "Artemis-Soothing and Hydrating Face and Eye Emulsion" : Going natural is great and I have to say that this emulsion seemed to work for the usual suspect on my face called "redness"; I used this emulsion after cleaning my face and before the moisturiser and found it light, a bit too light at times, but it managed to soothe my redness unexpectedly good.




    P.S. Sorry if I disappeared for a long time and if some of you kept reading and looking for me, thanks for doing that. We are a step closer to getting back to normal. Take care beautiful!


  2. Mondays seem to arrive faster that we anticipate them too; but maybe the new week will bring some pleasant surprises with it. Splitting time between staying in the Batcave, working on some upgrade on my suit courtesy of Mr Bats, and training with Damian to improve his kicks, my beauty time was reduced almost to zero.
    But all good things come around!

    It feels good to have "Sampling Monday" back and I hope you are too. This Monday's sample is Clinique's "Custom-Repaid Serum", which is a smart serum that understands the particular needs of your skin, providing custom repair for the damage you see and the damage you don't. Depending on our age and other factors, our complexion exhibits different needs and this products targets multiple concerns like diminishing lines and wrinkles, firming and lifting skin,reducing dark spots and evening skin tone and improving radiance and texture. No matter what your skin needs, this clever little serum promises to give you want you need whenever you need it! Let's see if the serum delivers what I need but don't know yet.


    P.S. I wish you all a great week and stay tuned for more posts coming soon!

  3. Doomsday may not only be a super villain from Krypton but it may also be a bad Monday or a bad Tuesday to say for myself. So, with my week setting off with a busy Monday I got my ass kicked today by Doomsday, metaphorically and literally; life's hard, but who said that life is easy?
    Even superheroes have their blues.

    So, in this instalment of "Sampling Monday" on a Tuesday we have a duo of samples for minimizing pores! Clinique's "Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum" and "Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfecting Makeup" are two products that minimize the appearance of pores and creating a smoother look. On the one hand, "Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum" is a lightweight, oil-free formula serum that can be applied twice a day after cleansing and before your moisturiser; it clears out pore-clogging debris and oil and promises 58% smaller pores in 2 weeks. And on the other hand, "Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfecting Makeup" is an oil-free makeup that makes your pores seem smaller keeps your complexion light. I have to say that I a little worried the makeup shade will not match my complexion but we will see!


    P.S. Hope you had a better Monday and Tuesday than me. xo
