Why you should be reading this blog...


This is the $90 moisturizer that caused me to breakout.
I am such a sucker!
Listed below is what was on the back of the package that made me want to buy it:
• Derivatives of vitamins & vital trace elements like magnesium, copper
• Energizes skin to renew & rebuild itself to preserve youthfulness
•Blue Ginger PFA adds new radiance
• Leaves skin soft, moist, glow with vitality & well-being
• Fresh & light texture instantly melts into skin
You all know how I like natural ingredients and flowers in my beauty stuff, this really seemed to have it all. BLUE GINGER! What the hell is that? It sounded so exotic and potent!Listen to Mama: N-E-V-E-R buy a product that does not specifically state it is "oil free" or "non-comedogenic", no matter how much Blue Ginger it has in it.
But the saleswoman was so nice and she did let me try it; but after standing there and talking to her for 3 minutes with it on my skin I figured everything was gravy. Three minutes is NOT enough time to see if you will have a reaction. Get a sample to go and work it into your routine for a few days to see if you have a reaction. But as I've stated, I'm a sucker and I was so excited I couldn't wait and just bought the whole bottle.Don't do that.Read my blog and learn from my mistakes.This is a $90 one.
And as a shout-out to anyone working at Chanel: You all have VERY high-quality products, this one just didn't work with my skin. Please send me some of your equally high-quality handbags and shoes... I'm sure I won't have an allergic reaction to those!
