Are high-end skin care products worth the money for me?

Recently Due to COVID-19, I started to stop making irrational purchases like I did last year. However, due to the influence of COVID-19, some major skincare (cosmetics) companies have launched various attractive discounts and promotions. This can easily make the money we just saved be spent out again. So I'm going to introduce some of the High-End skincare products I've been using recently. And talk about whether it's worth buying these products when they're on sale.


Caudalie： Vinosource Intense Moisture Rescue Cream $48（40ml）

On the Sephora website, the introduction of this product is for people with dry, cracked, uncomfortable skin. I bought this cream in early 2020. In the process of using it, I feel that this cream is more suitable for use in winter. If I use it in summer, I feel a bit heavy. So if you don't have very dry skin, you don't need to consider buying this product. Although the product says it is suitable for oily skin, I think this product is aimed at specific skin types. The oily skin will feel a bit heavy even in winter. It is worth mentioning that the product smells good.

Kiehl’s： Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution $68 (30ml), $95 (50ml)

The product is currently on sale on Sephora and its main feature is to brighten skin and reduce dark spots. I've used two bottles so far. But I may not continue to buy this product. When I used the first bottle, I thought the process of using this product was very comfortable and the scent was very fresh. The product's main feature of reducing dark spots and brightening is actually not obvious. I have used Olay Radiance Light-Perfecting Essence 30ml, the price is one-half of Kiehl’s. But the effect of Olay is much more obvious than Kiehl’s. 

SK-II： Facial Treatment Essence $129(75ml)


I actually thought about it for a long time when I bought this product. Compared to other toners on the market, its price is indeed more expensive. If it does not work as well as advertised consumers may be disappointed. After buying and using it for half a year, I think this product has some effect. It does give me a certain level of skin improvement. For example, I feel that my skin texture is indeed gradually becoming visibly soften. There is currently a little bit effect on the improvement of skin tone. But relative to its price, I would like to say that if you have a sufficient budget, you can consider buying it if is on sale.


LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask $26 (20g)


The price of this product can buy two lip balm in drug store. As Canada’s winter can make people’s lip feel really dry, the usual lip balm can only temporarily relieve dry lips. After using this product, I found it was worth the money. First of all, it has a lot more capacity than a lip balm, and I haven't finish used it for about two years. Secondly, whether I'm wearing lipstick day or overnight, I feel my lips are really moisturizing. It is a product worth considering during on sale or even at the regular price.


Estée Lauder： Advanced Night Repair Eye Cream $85 (15ml)


After using this product for half a year, I decided not to buy it again. In recent years, many bloggers have discussed a lot about whether eye cream can produce visibly benefit to the under-eye area. I agree with the statement that eye cream may only serve as a moisturizer. This eye cream did not lighten my dark circles. The term "helps repair the visible impact of UV and pollution" mentioned in the product details is actually very abstract.

Sephora is about to start its winter sale, which will run from Oct. 30 to Nov. 9. The discount will cover most of Sephora's products. In addition, recent activities of Cosmetics and skincare on Shoppers are also very tempting. On my last Blog I Shared my thoughts on what high-end skincare products are worth buying and what aren't during the winter sales season. In this blog, I will share some of the high-end cosmetics I bought in the past six months and talk about whether it is worth buying these products in the winter discount season. Gucci Rouge à Lèvres Satin Lipstick $55 ： First of all, the packaging of the product is exquisite, and the color matching is very eye-catching. In the product introduction, some colors can be used as blush. I think it is a very suitable lipstick for winter in terms of moisture level. And it is also suitable for use as a blush on the face. However, due to COVID-19, people basically wear masks and use lipstick when they go out. Therefore, whether ...

Winter morning skincare routine

Winter morning skincare routine Canada’s winter has come. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, my skincare for this winter has become more streamlined. Step 1: Use face cleanser I first clean my face with a low-ph facial cleanser. Since my face is usually dry when I get up in the winter, I don't use a powerful cleanser in the morning which can make the redness or dryness even worse. I usually clean my face in the morning with a mild cleanser( EFFACLAR GEL Gentle, soap-free purifying face gel cleanser ). Sometimes I just wash my face with clean water. There is a scientific basis for washing your face with water, especially for people who are dry skin, washing your face with water will not irritate the skin. Step 2：Serum This step can actually be omitted, mainly depending on personal needs. If you often use a functional serum at night. And the description of this serum shows that it may be better to use it once in the morning and evening. Then you can add this step in the morning. If you ha...

Winter nighttime skin care routine

Winter  nighttime  skincare routine: Step 1: Face Wash & Cleansers When I do skincare at night, I usually choose between two different facial cleansers. If I go out during the day and put on makeup. I would prefer to use this facial cleanser by Erno Laszlo. It has stronger cleaning. Although it is winter, after using this cleanser, I don't feel my face is dry. If I do not go out during the day or put on makeup, I would consider using La Roche-Posay cleanser. I also use this facial cleanser in the morning, it will be more gentle. Step 2: Toner I will use SK-II Facial Treatment Essence for my toner in the evening. Although it is not considered a toner in the strict sense, its effect is much greater than toner. And this essence is very suitable for people with oily skin. After using it, you won't think this is an unnecessary step. Step 3: Serum This step is not necessary unless your facial skin has anti-aging, dark spots, uneven texture, pores, redness, and other needs. Then ...
