The Moisturizer Of My Dreams

Korres Greek Yoghurt Advanced Nourishing Sleeping Facial

Retail Price:$45.00

What it is formulated to do:
A centuries-old Greek remedy for skin soothing, moisturizing Greek Yoghurt provides a natural source of proteins, minerals, and vitamins to instantly nourish stressed, dry skin. This ultrahydrating facial-in-a-jar contains a Greek Yoghurt concentrate with two and a half times the protein content of regular yogurt, and works overnight to provide skin with intense, long-term moisturization and nourishment to create a smooth, even complexion. You will wake up to noticeable improvements in skin texture and more moisturized, refreshed skin. 

Okay,it has taken me HONESTLY years to find a moisturizer that i love putting on my face.I have odd skin,i have hormonal breakouts on my chin and jaw line (plus some acne scarring which makes me wanna throw myself in front of a train) however i am no where near oily.I classify myself as having normal/dry skin.I've tried numerous brands,the last one being kate somerville,and i have hated them all.I have been unable to find a moisturizer that did what i want it to do.Perhaps i was asking for too much,but apparently not!Heres a condensed list of what i want my moisturizer to do.

1.Not break me out (the obvious)
2.Actually make me skin feel hydrated,and not just for one minute.I hate those moisturizers that feel good after you cleanse and then after a nano second your skin goes back to feeling like a tight rubber band.
3.Not make my face look/feel slimy

I recently started doing a murad cleansing routine because my acne was getting out of hand.So far i like the results,however everyone knows that acne products make your skin dry as hell.So i needed to find a moisturizer that put back exactly what the murad was stripping out to make a perfect balance that would benefit my skin entirely.No one likes to apply foundation in the morning and see it clinging to dry patchy skin.

After i cleanse at night,i apply a VERY generous amount to my face.Its definitely more on the thick side yet to me it never feels greasy.The texture of it is almost like a mousse.It has a very light fresh smell to it.Nothing uber fake or alcohol-y.When you first slather it on,it has a light cooling affect on the skin which is honestly,the best feeling in the world.Nothing strong enough to make your skin look flushed but its honestly so calming.When i wake up the next morning,my skin feels so soft but doesn't have the odd slime film left over my face.It sounds so cliche to say,but it honestly made my skin glow.My mom actually asked me what i did to my skin because of how nice it looked.It hasn't broken me out either.My skin literally drinks this stuff up like a washington apple (personal cocktail of choice.)I was shocked that it didn't even rub all over my pillow.Even if it did,i didn't see it or smell it the next day.I no longer suffer from tight face at night (well i do for about a minute until i grab this baby.)If you have dry skin and you have tried absolutely everything,cheap and pricey,stop what you're doing and go pick this up or grab a sample.I promise you it will change your life.If you don't have super dry or flaky skin i'd say this would probably be too much for you.I'd opt for the regular greek yoghurt moisturizer that they also have.I've read great reviews on that stuff as well!

Give it up for healthy skin!

So,how are we all feeling about the new MAC masterclass brushes?To be honest,they really look like a gimmick to me but i could be wrong and they could be amazing.The goal for these brushes (from what i've read) is they are designed for perfect application of products on your OWN face.The handles make working on your face easier as opposed to regular makeup brush handles making it easier to work on somebody else.

If i were to try any,i would try the middle one and the one to the right (oval 6 & linear 1 )
The middle one does look like it would make applying blush or anything on the cheeks an absolute dream.Linear 1 id use to press in black gel liner in my lash line.It would be so precise and close,then id go over it with liquid liner and do my usual wing.I can't decide if these brushes seem smart or not but if you've tried one let me know what you think!

OH and can we talk about the photos of an Urban Decay Naked palette 3 going around!?Is it real?Because the photos make it look gorgeous.I never purchased naked 2 because i truly disliked the colors and probably wouldn't use it but i would definitely pick up naked 3 if this is really happening.

Who else is tempted to buy some of the crazy good sephora gift sets that are out now for the holidays for themselves?Is it only me?Probably but oh well.

Welcome!

Hey guys!Welcome to my new beauty blog!I have wanted to make this for awhile i just haven't gotten around to it,until now!I am super excited to use this blog to share with you products I've been loving or hating.Overall this blog will just be the inside of my mind(a self proclaimed beauty junkie/sephora expert)all in one spot!Hey its my blog,ill call myself what i want to ;)

I have not forgotten my youtube channel,and i miss it very much.I no longer have the camera i was using to film hence my extremely long absence.I plan on getting one very soon for my birthday!I've thought about making some videos on my iMAC webcam until then,but i am hesitant just because its a huge change in quality of video!I have a lot of competition among the youtube girls,and they have serious set ups! ;)

If you'd like to see some videos until i get my new camera,let me know and i will!

Until then check back as often as you like and enjoy!

Love you beautiful princess bitches xox
