Kristen A. tries skincare galore from Dior
Recently I got some pretty nice sized samples from the Christian Dior Makeup counter. The first item I tried was Dior HydraAction - Deep Hydration Defense Fluid SPF 15
. The SPF 15 made me very happy, but being that it's winter, it was not as heavenly moisturizing as I'd hoped. The sales girl, when prompted, told me later HydraAction might be for someone with oiler/younger skin than mine. So that means a teenager? Well, she also told me that the "Aquacept" complex in it was so innovative that it won a Nobel Peace Prize. Sounds a little far-fetched... maybe need to see some proof of that claim.
Moving on, to their heavier and twice as expensive cream, Dior Capture Sculpt 10 - Lifting Firming Creme. I found that the formula was much more moisturizing without leaving a greasy film. It has kept my skin moist, but not shiny. I can't tell if it really is lifting anything, since not much has gone south on me yet. Between the perfume smell, which doesn't do much for me, and not having SPF, I can't call this my all-time favorite, but I do like it and will use my entire sample.
Next on my list is the Dior makeup line. I've got some lovely eyeshadow, gloss, mascara and lipstick waiting for me to slather my face with them!
On a side note, I ran out of body wash recently and was looking for some Aveeno
to try this winter. While wandering the aisles of the drugstore, I couldn't seem to find it, until I hit the baby section. It turns out that the Aveeno Baby Essential Moisture Baby Bath is a very similar product, is a couple dollars less expensive, and has two formula/scent choices. If you don't mind the words "baby bath" on your bottle, then this is a pretty cool buy.
