L'Oreal Age Perfect Midnight Serum - Sample - First Impression

 Hi ya Gorgeous!

Well, well, well, looky here at this distinguished sample received via an Instagram ad.
That's truth.

I was scrolling through Insta and saw an ad for the new L'Oreal Age Perfect Midnight Serum and yes, I like anti-aging skincare. So, here goes. Click. It took about a week to arrive.
The video goes into my experience and opinion on first impression.

This Amazon affiliate link https://amzn.to/3i31Csr  - takes you to the Amazon L'Oreal shop page so you can get some stuff too! Thank you for clicking and shopping - it gives me a penny!

NOTE to you - scammers are already trying to sell this free sample on eBay. You do not have to buy a sample. This wee bottle, with maybe 3 applications in it, is free to you.

I saw reviews on Walmart.com where this sells for $43.99 - but - please note, all of the 5 star reviews are from women who received a free sample through Influenster.com  ...just a heads up on possible contamination on the ol' 5 star review.

Here is details from the L'Oreal website for Age Perfect Midnight Serum:
REVEAL MILLIONS OF NEW CELLS, VISIBLY YOUNGER SKIN. Age Perfect Cell Renewal Midnight Serum sets a new standard for luxury serums. In fact, WOMEN PREFER IT OVER THE #1 LUXURY NIGHT SERUM*. Formulated with an exclusive Antioxidant Recovery Complex, this powerhouse anti-aging serum works at night when skin reaches its peak of cell renewal. Millions of new cells are revealed for visibly smoother, more radiant and younger skin. EFFECTIVE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES & TONES, it is made without parabens or mineral oil, and is allergy tested - suitable for even sensitive skin.

WHAT IS AN ANTIOXIDANT RECOVERY COMPLEX? Our exclusive Antioxidant Recovery Complex helps boost skin's renewal overnight by combining a powerful, L'Oréal patented antioxidant—derived from bitter orange—and Vitamin E to help reinforce skin's barrier. This breakthrough serum replenishes skin’s antioxidant levels at night when it is most receptive to repair. Our formula also contains Hyaluronic Acid—a powerful hydrating ingredient that helps lock in moisture.

SMOOTH WRINKLES, FIRMER, MORE RADIANT SKIN: After 1 use, skin is refreshed and feels softer, smoother. In 1 week, skin appears brighter, more luminous and younger. Over time, wrinkles are smoothed, skin looks firmer and more radiant. Effective for all skin tones.

INDULGENT, LUXURIOUS FORMULA: Each drop of this lightweight serum provides intense hydration while leaving skin luxuriously soft to the touch. It absorbs quickly with a non-greasy, non-sticky finish and won't clog pores.


 Final thoughts - while I was on Amazon looking for reviews of the L'Oreal Age Perfect Midnight Serum, I came across this - the

L'oreal Paris Age Perfect Radiant Serum Foundation with SPF 50 ...bought it...will let you know how it goes!

We are on holiday in Las Vegas for my birthday and when I saw she had the foundation, I had to try it. I have seen SO many Instagram videos and some Youtube video ads for this product, and I definitely do not believe the hype. So, this video has me "testing" it for a first time, on camera. 

 

 

Enjoy!

Tenth Street Hats - Country Western Style for Summer Fashion - a first impression

 

Hi ya Gorgeous,

Summer is here and it's time to up your sun care for your skin care! How about adding a hat? 

Meet Tenth Street.

I received this hat as a sample to review and blog about. I was offered the option to select a hat of my choice to review. I wanted a beautiful, dark wool cloche hat that would go perfect with my short summer hair and upcoming travel.

What I got was this left over from Toby Keith's performance in 1993 western hat. It's too small for my big head. There is a $10 restocking fee to return the hat. 

 Tenth Street sells the hats and the maker is Scala. There is a sizing chart for how to find your size here,

https://blog.tenthstreethats.com/how-to-measure-hat-size

I suspect that I pulled the measuring tape to tight around my head and that's why the size is too small. I bet with some sweat and wear, the fit would loosen up and feel better.

This western hat has a synthetic feeling straw to it and the hat band is faux leather and turquoise plastic. If you are going to a summer concert or outdoor festival, this could be a good option for you?

Back to the bit about sun care and skin care. A physical barrier to the sun for your skin is a great way to protect yourself and adding a hat to your outdoor time is a perfect way to layer up protection. First apply the sunscreen, then apply a hat to block your face from damaging UVA and UVB rays. 

 

If you haven't added a hat to your summer skincare - consider it!
