Review: Vichy Mineral 89 vs. AVON Hydra Fusion Serum

I used to be a huge fan of hyaluronic acid in my nighttime skin care routine back when it took the skincare market by a storm back in 2014. I even wrote about it in this post where I reviewed a bunch of my favorite night moisturizers. As a combination-skin girl, I was an early believer in "HA" because of its incredible ability to provide hydration and plumpness to the skin. Over the winter I always move more towards oils, acids and thick balms to keep my skin soft, but this summer I tried to lighten things up to avoid those pore-clogging creams. Welcome, Vichy Mineral 89 and AVON's Hydra Fusion Serum, two clear gels that make my skin look like a fresh bouncy ball.

Review: REVLON Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish

I love a good multi-tasker, and the REVLON Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish truly does everything-in-one for my lips. Marketed as a liquid lipstick, this formula delivers a high-pigment, high-shine lacquer finish. The non-feathering formula is applied with a very soft doe-foot applicator and it definitely doesn’t settle into lip lines or creases. These vivid shades are super diverse and pack a great punch.
