serum
Hey everyone!
It feels like quite some time since I've written a review. I've been a tad busy with school lately, and I find hat reviews can be a bit tedious to write when I'm tired! Current state of mind= listening to old Lily Allen songs, and eating vanilla ice-cream on bed. Sure what else do us teenagers do?
Right, back to the review! I received* this serum at the official launch in Dublin weeks ago, which you can read about here, but I wanted to give it a proper try before writing this review. First things first- I have never actually owned anything by Vichy before this! Well, I've had the few samples, but not full size products. I've also actually never used a serum. Before attending the launch, I always presumed that that serums were typically for older skin. But I was wrong!
The Vichy Idealia Life Serum is a "skin idealizer", that claims an "even and illuminated complexion, refined looking pores and rested facial features". It's suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, and better yet- ITS PARABEN FREE! For those of you who don't know what parabens are- they're specific nasty things are in most skincare products, and most of the time cause no harm. MOST of the time. The serum smells absolutely heavenly. I realise that scent means nothing but I can't help it! Roses and jasmine are the first things I think of. Its pearly white in colour, with tiny bits of shimmer inside, and its very easy to apply to the face. Iadore the packaging too- pink holographic, what more could a girl want?
The serum itself has most definitely changed my skin over the past few weeks. It states to help skin within 8 days, which I think is a tad far fetched! I applied it one in the morning, once in the night. My skin looks brighter, less tired and definitely alot smoother. Although I can't say if it helps with ageing ~ I am only 15..~ my mum also tried it out, and she loved it too!
You can read more about the serum here. Will you be trying it?

Hey everyone,
I recently attended the launch for a new Vichy product- the Idealia Life Serum. It was held in an oh-so-glamorous venue, The Black Door on Harcourt Street. I'm sure you all know by now that I adore new skincare products, and I love looking after my skin, and treating it the best way possible. Truth be told, I don't actually own an Vichy products- I think the price tag has been throwing me off! I'm very cautious when it comes to buying "expensive" products, as I like to ensure they're worth the money. SO as you can tell, I was very excited to try this new product. Vichy has always been a brand that I've heard so much about, and I'd typically associate it as a pharmaceutical brand [their TV ads do seem to have alot of jargon], but my grandmother has been a lover of the brand for years, and swears by their products!
The Idealia Life Serum is a serum clinically proven to improve the effects of daily excesses, such as stress, unbalanced diet, exposure to the sun and pollution. It claims that the serum leaves your skin "looking radiant and fresh, and the texture feels refined. Facial features look more relaxed and skin looks younger and healthier". At first I assumed that the product would be only for older/aged skin- not quite something a teenager would need! However even us teens tend to eat too much junk food, or sit in the sun too long. It also states that it can do all of this in 8 days! The serum has a gorgeous scent, as it contains jasmine. And the best thing is? Its free from parabens!
The event itself was brilliant- there was music, delicious food and icecream! There was also a very informative power point presentation on the exciting new product.
I personally can't wait to try the 8 day challenge and try out the serum myself. I'm also going to get my mam to try it with me, as I'm curious to see if it works a treat for older skin, too. Keep any eye out for a review very soon!
P.S- you may have noticed that my blog layout has changed, and then changed BACK, over the past few days. As soon as I get a bit of money together I'm going to pay for a new blog layout!
