On the Shelf Vol. 2 – Face Serums and Oils

September 26, 2018 Swati 2 Comments

Hey all! I am a major hoarder of the face serums and oils and I usually have loads of them in my closet at any given point of time. Interestingly, I ordered for Biotique ageless serum while I am typing away this post. Well, old habits die hard and if you find something interesting and inexpensive being raved about, how can you skip it? So, let me breakdown the products into face serums and oils.

Face Oils

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate

Bought a long time back and I have not managed to reach even half of the bottle. You need just a bit and you are good to go. The oil is really light in texture and sometimes not enough to combat the dryness. Overall, I do not have much to say about it except it smells nice thanks to the lavender essential oil.

The Ordinary 100% Plant-Derived Squalene

I have used it a couple of times but honestly I am not very impressed. I am not sure if I know how to use the product correctly yet but it makes my skin too oily. Anyways, this is a product which is still under trial so reviews are yet to come.

Indulgeo Rose Gold Oil

One of my whim buys which I liked using but I have to use it regularly to say a word about it. For now, I like it as it makes my face glow.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II

If ever in my entire life, I had multiple bottles of one single product at the same time, it is four bottles of Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair. Now, I am down to three – two 100mls and one 50ml – and they would last me at least a year. One of the classic beauty products in the market, it has been around since the eighties.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II Product Review

Price : Rs 7,900 for 50ml

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair serum comes in a dark colored bottle with a dropper which is pretty handy. It is peach colored and runny in texture but not too runny. Gets absorbed into the skin instantly. Suitable for all ages and all skin types, it is non-comedogenic (meaning does not block the pores), oil free and fragrance free.

Beauty Products I would love to Repurchase

Are you a brand loyalist or you like to try out new products? If you ask me, the moment I get to know about a new brand or hear a rave, I want to try out all of their ranges which tempt me. But, then, over the years, I did come across a few products which I would like to repurchase or have either repurchased. So, here is my list of those products.

1. L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil – This featured in my luxury products list and I absolutely love it! I took almost a year and half to finish the bottle I got and I am in love with it. I want it again and I would definitely love to try out the other shower oils with the brand as well.

2. L’Occitane Shea Body Corps – After falling in love with almond shower oil, I had to try another bestseller from them. I am still half way on the first tub and this is amazing. I am not sure how well it will do for summers but for winters, this is the one I want. A disappointing fact about this product is that it is very medicinal, like betnovate ointment but I like it anyhow.
