Welcome to another installment of ageless style. Today we are talking about something we splurged on and although I do sometimes splurge on a new piece of clothing or an outfit, today, I am sharing two products that I dropped $$$ that I have no regrets on.
The first product is Clarins Multi-Intensive Super Restorative Night Cream. I received a sizeable sample of this cream in my Shoppers Drugs Mart Advent Calendar at Christmas, and after only a few nights, I noticed that my 11 on my forehead looked much smoother and my overall face was much more plump. I am not the most observant person, and my skin care routine is not extravagant, so the fact that I noticed anything is HUGE. Once the product ran out, I hemmed and hawed especially over the price point I decided to treat myself using my birthday money and I LOVE it! It really does smoothen out my fine lines and wrinkles, plumps up my face, fights just the dullness of day to day life. Do I expect miracles? No, I am aware that I am aging but this product is something I think I'll continue to purchase as a splurge moving on. Also, I love that the company has been around for 70 years, they focus on utilizing natural plant materials while responsible sourcing them in their natural environment. You can read more about the company and their values here.
The second beauty splurge was also something I discovered in my Advent Calendar and it's the Amo Ferragamo Perfume. Now I haven't worn perfume since I was in my early 20s and I think it was like a Brittany perfume or something, so like a couple of decades. When I spritz this on one evening as we were going out to dinner it smelt divine, sophisticated and sexy. The scent is elegant florals meet crisp fruity shades, lingers and floats without any of the anxious or overpowering scents. I instantly was reminded that smell is such a wonderful and subtle accessory, and I fell in love. Of course when it ran out and I looked at the price tag I just couldn't bring myself to purchase it but then my birthday came around and I decided to spoil myself and use my birthday money on items I would never normally purchase. Now even if we are just going out for a quick date, or out to visit, I sprits myself because WHY NOT? I love the way I smell and everyday can be a glam day if I want it to be.
