I was fortunate enough to participate in the Kiehl's 10 Day Change Your Skin Challenge, featuring their cult favourite Midnight Recovery Concentrate. I had used the product sporadically in the past, but never on a daily (or, well, nightly) basis. And given the fact that my skin was getting so dry that it was verging on scaly, I jumped at the chance.

The first night of using the product was exactly as I remembered; a couple drops of the lightweight serum under my moisturizer left my skin looking soft and dewy, and I kicked myself for giving up on the stuff months before. When I awoke the next day, my face looked brighter and smoother than it had in ages... I was hooked.

All was well until I broke out pretty badly on the third day (although to be fair, there were hormonal factors at play, if you know what I'm saying), but by day five my skin was back on track and looking better than ever. My nose even stopped peeling under my foundation, which is something that I've been struggling with all winter. The verdict? Of all the serums I've tried in my day, this is honestly one of the better ones, and I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to anyone... Looks like someone's added a new staple to their skincare repertoire — This girl! xx

Deserted Island Essentials...

If, knock on wood, I should find myself stranded on a lonely deserted island someday, I would pray for an unlimited supply of ice cream, the company of my mister, a magical Internet connection (obvi) and my trusty cosmetics bag... Hey, a girl's got to look her best, right? And if the deserted island Gods would be kind enough to send some toothpaste my way, well, that would be ace. But back to business: we're talking beauty essentials here, people!

For me, nothing beats smooth skin and a defined eye, so you can imagine where my beauty allegiance lies, but a classic red lip and mani are pretty sweet as well... So without further ado, here's what I would hope to have in a Gilligan's Island-type situation:

1. Aveeno Active Naturals sunscreen (gotta practice safe sun!)
2. Sephora Collection Eye Liner
3. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Powder (no shiny t-zone for this island dweller!)
4. NARS Sheer Glow Foundation
5. CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara (in this case, I'm thinking waterproof...)
6. MAC lipstick in 'Lady Bug'
7. Butter London nail polish in 'Come to Bed Red' (oh baby!)
8. The almighty Kiehl's Lip Balm #1 (it's magical)

What would you wish for if you were stranded on a deserted island? Spill! xx
