Review: Lancôme Advanced Genifique

Neutrals

Developed from 14 years of research, the Lancôme Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate is the brands newest serum designed to tackle anti-aging. Housed in a sleek, contemporary dropper bottle, this concentrate aims to add radiance to your complexion while smoothing fine lines. So, why use a serum? Unlike a cleanser or moisturiser, serums can penetrate deeper into the skin to actively solve a range of issues that your skin may have. A serum is lighter than many other skincare products and should be applied after cleansing and toning and before your moisturiser in order to work effectively. This anti-aging serum would probably work best on those aged 30+ or those who have visible signs of aging. The formulation Lancôme Advanced Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate is packed with powerful ingredients to…

Getting That Summer Glow

Should I Waist Cinch/Trim/Train? Pt.2

Neutrals

If you missed part 1 last Friday check it out here There's a lot of mixed information out there about waist training. So much so that you can find articles to support whatever side you take on this topic. I know, I did my "research" before purchasing 2 waist clinchers and a waist trimmer. But which side is right? [gallery type="rectangular" size="medium" ids="6788,6789"] What I've found is that it's ALL true! I don't have X-ray's to claim that my organs were affected but after consistently wearing my smaller waist cincher my ribs were always sore. However it helped my posture tremendously and I did lose inches around my waist. So which do you listen too? Well first understand that no matter how many cinchers, trimmers, lifters, miracle wraps you use, nothing will…

Should I Waist Cinch/Trim/Train? Pt.1

Neutrals

My friend April posted this on Facebook. Had to share it because it inspired this post: I laughed so hard when I saw this but she's right. Shortcuts are never the move but many women are using them to get the ideal body type. These days it's a literal hour glass: big breasts, teeny tiny waist and big hips and butt. I have no clue if the above pic was photoshopped, I just found it on Instagram. I say that because some women are actually built like this -but more often than not they had some help. For example there's camera filters, specific posing angles and photoshop apps for the internet and IG, but what about when you want that look in person? Do you know there's such a thing…
