I have COVID and a lot of free time so let me expose this user NANDITA who stole a comment and keep spamming every single discussion with it today like it's her job. I just hate this kind of nonsense. Just write 1 or 2 reviews and you'll get the same amount of points without looking like a clown!🤡

J-BEAUTY haul 🇯🇵✨

This fluid sunscreen is an ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE!!😎 I LOVE the new formulation with the new modern filter patented by L'Oréal.

🌞 TEXTURE : if you know the Anthelios Shaka Fluid, the Anthelios UVmune400 has the exact same ultra fluid texture! 
Since it is a very fluid texture, I use 4 fingers to apply all over my face and neck.

🌞 NO WHITE CAST : I have medium skin and I can attest that this sun fluid doesn't leave any white cast or grey cast. It is totally transparent and invisible. Every skin tone can use this!

🌞 NATURAL FINISH : the Anthelios UVMUNE400 takes a few minutes to settle and leave a natural finish.

🌞 NEW FILTER : La Roche Posay Anthelios UVMUNE400 comes with a new modern filter names MEXORYL 400. It protects from damages of the ultra long UVA (that cause ageing).

This is one of my HOLY GRAIL sunscreen, that I trust 100%. I purchase and repurchase it blindly again and again!🏆

🤔 I like this product but I won't repurchase it. WHY? Because I don't care for glass skin and I don't wear makeup so a primer is not that necessary for me personally. My skin is healthy enough to have a natural glow.

🤔 Very honestly, the price is also stopping me. If it was less pricey I would repurchase it. But for now, it is not worth it for me and my personal concerns.

Ok, I HAVE TO ADMIT that I bought the Huxley Priming Essence Radiance Layer because it is STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL!💎✨

👀PACKAGING : it is the prettiest skincare item I've ever seen. I love the round glass bottle. It is original and very aesthetic. 

💎TEXTURE : Aqueous and lightweight! The serum glides on my skin easily and is quite quickly absorbed. There is absolutely no tacky or sticky finish. My skin looks silky smooth and dewy.

This serum contains little "Holo" pearls that reflecting light when applied on skin. To get THE MOST of this effect, I recommend applying this serum by PATTING the texture on your face instead of rubbing it.

🔑 KEY INGREDIENTS :
- Hyaluronic Acid (plumping, hydrating)

- Prickly Pear Seed Oil (moisturizing, barrier protection)

- Algae Extract (moisturizing, antioxydant)

- Bifida Ferment Lysate (soothing, antihaging probiotic)

- Cactus-derived Ceramide NP (locks moisture, barrier protection, moisturizing)

🤹 DIFFERENT WAYS TO USE IT🤹

💦AS A HYDRATING SERUM : I apply a whole dropper of this serum right after my hydrating essence. It minimizes pores appearance, makes my skin plumped and baby smooth. 

🔒AS A MOISTURE LOCKER : 
Toner/Essence>Serums>Huxley Priming Essence Radiance Layer>Moisturizer and/or SPF.
Thanks to cactus derived ceramides the Huxley Priming Essence Radiance Layer is amazing at locking moisture.
It lasts the whole day and it makes my skin SO plump, smooth and juicy. I really recommend doing this if you have dehydrated skin!

💎AS A MAKEUP PRIMER : 
Toner/Essence>Serums>Moisturizer>Huxley Priming Essence Radiance Layer>(SPF)>Foundation.
The Huxley Priming Essence Radiance Layer being a hybrid between a skincare item and a makeup item, it does what it promises: smoothed, moisturizes and gives radiance without being drying or comedogenic.

✨GLASS SKIN : 
Toner/Essence>Serums>Huxley Priming Essence Radiance Layer>Moisturizer>Huxley Priming Essence Radiance

To get the maximum radiance effect, I like to sandwich my moisturizer between 2 layers of the Huxley Priming Essence Radiance Layer. 

The first layer before my moisturizer locks the benefits of my essence and my serums.

Then I pat a second layer of the Huxley Priming Essence Radiance Layer after my moisturizer to get a glowing skin thanks to the "Holo" pearls that catch and reflect the light. 

🎤😌FINAL THOUGHTS : the Huxley Priming Essence Radiance Layer does what it promises. If your are looking for a high quality primer that is as good as a skincare item, them this is the product for you!

It IS a serum...but also a primer that make my skin baby smooth. So I think this is a great investment for someone that use makeup regularly and that absolutely love that "glass skin" effect.

🐯🌱TEXTURE : this Cicapair sleeping mask is a thick gel with a refreshing effect when applied on my skin. Honestly, a little goes a long way! I don't need to over-apply to seal my whole skincare routine. 

🐯🌱HYDRATING : this isn't the most hydrating sleeping mask ever but I'm very satisfied with what it brings to my skin. Since I use a moisturizer before, it's not like I expect the Cicapair Sleeping mask to do the job all alone anyway. 

🐯🌱SOOTHING, REFRESHING : I really can't get enough of this refreshing gel texture. It is so pleasant to apply and massage on my face, the soothing and refreshing feelings are there and last the whole night for me. 

🐯🌱CALMS REDNESS : idk you but I often have some redness on my butterfly zone at the end of the day or worse, after dinner...So I like to get rid of it thanks to this refreshing cica sleeping mask. It first calms when I apply the gel but then it does its job during the whole night and I wake up with a nice glowing, well rested and EVEN skin tone!! 

🐅🐅🐅THREE WAYS OF USING IT :

🌱When I'm super lazy/sleepy, I like to apply the Cicapair Intensive Mask right after washing my face. It is quick and effective for a basic calming and hydrating night. 

🌱After my ENTIRE skincare routine. I often see sleeping masks users replacing their moisturizer by the sleeping mask but I personally feel like it's waaaay better to use both, one after another. It seals and maximizes all the goodness!!!

🌱When I'm feeling fancy or when I feel like my skin needs it, I reapply a second layer of my sleeping mask 30 minutes or more before going to bed. I spray a little of thermal water, slightly pat dry and then i reapply the second layer. My skin is so plump and smooth in the morning after😘🤌🏼*MWAH!!!*

🤔 as i have oily&#47;combo skin i don&#39;t like use this balm during the day because it feels a bit heavy.

🤔 It&#39;s best for me to NOT apply thick layers. A moderate amount is sufficient for me and my skin.

🤔DO NOT APPLY ON DAMP SKIN. Damp skin makes it difficult for this balm to spread and glide on the skin.

HOLY GRAIL ALERT!!!🚨🚨🚨
I&#39;m currently obsessed with cica creams and i don&#39;t know why i didn&#39;t use this one sooner?!?
I&#39;m so in love with this cica balm, I&#39;m gonna stock up several tubes for sure. I already repurchased the 100ml tube😍

✨Very moisturizing✨clearly, this cream or &#39;balm&#39; as the brand calls it, is very moisturizing. Since i have oily&#47;combination skin, i use Cicaplast in the evening as a &#39;sleeping mask&#39; to seal the hydration and other actives I&#39;m using in my night routine.

✨Repairing✨the repairing qualities of this balm are absolutely fantastic. The hype is deserved. My skin barrier is smooth, even and i don&#39;t know how to explain but my skin looks &#39;stronger&#39; and visibly healthier. 

✨Reduces redness✨my skin is less prone to redness since I&#39;m using this cica balm every night. INDEED, my skin looks much more resilient than before. 

✨Plumping✨this is one of the cherry on top of the cake for me! In the morning my skin is plump and glowing. My skin looks SO HEALTHY. I&#39;m really happy about that. I think Cicaplast will be in my night routine for a long time.

✨Reduces marks✨the effect on marks is pretty obvious. In the morning my skin looks bright and i can see how some old marks have been fading even more.

✨Texture✨the texture is a thick cream that MELTS easily on the skin. At first i was a bit hesitant because of my oily skin but honestly, the texture is not that thick nor oily. BUT, i do shine after applying it so that is why this balm is a NIGHT cream for me. 
As a lot of users already noticed, this balm leaves a slight white cast on the skin right after the application. But after 10  minutes, the balm is fully absorbed and the white cast is gone. 
🚨TIP: APPLY CICAPLAST B5 ON DRY SKIN AND NOT ON DAMP SKIN!!

I thought my skin was already healthy but this cica balm made it even healthier. The hype is deserved, I&#39;m really happy with this product and i think it will become a regular in my night routine😍

🤔 it's quite expensive for a hyaluronic acid hydrating serum (30€). There are so many good HA serums on the market that I don't see myself repurchasing this one because of its price. This serum is good but it doesn't bring anything different from less expensive serums I already know.

Hyaluronic acid is definitely one of my favorite ingredient and i'm willing to try every single hyaluronic acid serum on the market🤣

I bought the Liftactiv Hyaluronic Acid Supreme Filler because Vichy claims it compensates 100% of hyaluronic acid loss every day. 

👀PACKAGING: this is a small 30ml glass bottle with plastic dropper that you need to pinch to get the serum out.

💦TEXTURE: the texture is very slightly viscous. It is lightweight and almost water-like. This serum is quickly absorbed by my skin and I've noticed that a little goes a LOOOONG way. I only need 2 or 3 drops for my face an neck. This makes this 30ml serum lasts for several months (4 or 5 months for me).

🔑KEY NGREDIENTS:
- Hyaluronic Acid: hydrating, plumping
- Vitamin Cg: antioxydant, brightening
- Vichy's Volcanic Water: soothing, revitalizing

💫MY EXPERIENCE:
Let me go straight to the point: this serum is undoubtedly hydrating and plumping. I really enjoy how quickly absorbed it is. I sometimes apply several layers because why not? My skin "drinks" this serum like it's a summer cocktail🍹🤤

My skin being plump, it looks super smooth and almost "poreless". I firmly believe that good hydration is the root for good skin.

Regarding the Vitamin Cg and it's supposedly brightening effect, I don't have noticed anything significant. I think that if you want a real obvious brightening effect, you'll have to use another serum that specifically targets that concern.

I bought this serum for hydration and plumping and I'm not disappointed. It does the job perfectly and lasts a long time. 

👏🏼Recommendation: this hydrating serum is suitable for all skin type really.
