Vichy Aqualia Thermal - Serum and Daily Care Moisturiser

The Aqualia Thermal range is from the Premium Skincare brand Vichy, from L'oreal. This range is more for those who need a little bit of Hydration in their skincare. They say this product range is also for those with sensitive skin, so the product itself should give you no irritation.

As someone who has sensitive skin and at this moment in time as it is winter, my skin really needs hydration, and i am always looking for good products to do this. So i decided to review these two products from this range and tell you what i think about Vichy's latest:

Vichy Light Aqualia Thermal Pot £16  - I was very pleased this was in  one of my beauty box's as I had wanted to try more from this range. This is the light version which you can tell from the feel of the moisturiser and the way it easily blends. This is great for people who really don't need or really hate the feel of cloggy thick moisturisers. In my opinion this a great day moisturiser for under make up. My skin did feel really nice after using it, and i did see signs of my skin looking better. Price wise, it is perfect for a moisturiser, there are a lot more that are far more expensive on the market, great value for money. Overall, lovely consistency and a great price. 

Aqualia Thermal Power Serum £17.00 - The serum itself is great, it is very light weight and bendable and i have seen visible results on especially area's where i had signs of redness. The packaging is a little bit of a let down with the pump, it is cheap plastic quality which does need room for improvement. For the price, i am very impressed, the product does exactly what is needed and for a serum, even in vichy's range, there are far more expensive alternatives. This for me is a night product and not something i would wear in the evening. Overall it is a great serum, does the job at a great price. 

Overall the range is great, it really makes your skin look and feel fantastic. The serum really targets the skin which is most dry and is easily cleared up with the moisturiser to make the full effects of the dryness take a stand still. The products were also of a great and affordable price compared to equally as good brand competitors.

For me the only real grip with this range is the perfume in the products, more so for me in the serum which seems a bit stronger.  I know the french love their skincare smelling great, but it's not something i like in my skincare. I have eczema so for me perfume is something that really irritates my skin and for a product that claims to be for sensitive skin, i feel this is a flaw. 

Maybe they need to bring out an unscented range because i would really be allover this and for now, i think this product will return in summer when my skin feels a little better, shame because serums are more of a winter saviour. 

These products are available at Feelunique, boots, escentual and super drug.

Beauty Haul - FeelUnique and Selfridges

So as it was Black Friday and Cyber Monday, i decided to have a look for some deals and see what items i could get my hands on.

I first turned to FeelUnique which had a great 15% off all items in the sale and this were the goodies i picked up 

COLAB Dry Shampoo Tokyo 200ml- I have a love hate relationship with dry shampoo and since my favourite Dove Dry Shampoo is really hard to come by, i thought i would pick up this shampoo to try.. I really hope this will be as good as i have heard many great reviews.and i have high expectations for this product, especially as this product claims to have a invisible sheer formula. 

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum 30ml - Vichy have impressed me with their shampoo and now i have ventured to see what their skincare has to hold. I have not ventured too far into serum's but since the only one i have tried has a been a few samples of BioEffect EGF serum which is sadly £125 a go for 15ml! I was on the hunt for something more in my budget.

Caudalie Moisturizing Toner 400ml - I love Caudalie, their body moisturiser and of course the most highly rated product the Beauty Elixar is one of my all time favourite product's i wanted to see what the toner was like. This is one step i usually skip in my routine and i really want to put it in, and this will give me the chance to give this a whirl. 

I also got the Loreal moisturiser sample to try and the Guerlain Perfume, which were two samples i wanted to give a shot as you can never try too many of either and i am always after a better moisturiser and a new perfume scent, so hopefully these will be ones i do like too. 

Bare mineral SPF15 Original Foundation in the shade Light - I could not believe Selfridges deal on bare mineral's this christmas for £12, which gives you a full size pot of mineral foundation (usually retails from like £18-27), I had to take up this offer and stock up as this is my favourite foundation. The offer is still on but sadly the shade changes from time to time. From the look's of offer and from my delivery it appears they are having an overstock clear out on this product, so be prepared for two completely different lids like the ones above. Both are the same product and the same shade, so do not panic when you get these.
