What’s an essence? It’s an important part of any skincare’s routine and I think you should be using one! Why? Because they are a great addition to any skincare line up as they’ll add more moisture and prep your skin for serums and moisturizers. But more on this in a bit…..!

Korean skincare has becoming increasingly popular in the US. I’ve been blogging for 10 years now and if you’re read my blog for that long you know how obsessed I am with Japanese, Korean, and other Asian skincare (as well as makeup). I learned quite early on that the 10 step Korean skincare routine is actually a really, really good way to keep my dry, dull skin very happy. I’m not vain, I swear I’m not, but I get a lot of comments telling me, “Wow your skin looks really good!” both in life and on my blog. Again, I swear I’m not being vain, but I agree. Why? Because dry skin is hell. It’s really hard to wear makeup when you have drier skin as powders clings to flakier areas, liquids tend to look mask line, and makeup in general is patchy, uneven, and clinging to drier areas. It’s not fun. But I can’t help but agree, my skin does look good and that’s because I work hard to keep it looking that good!

Pixi Glow Tonic Salon Size Needs To Get to the US and Fast!

pixi-glow-tonic-super-size

If you’re in the UK head over to www.qvcuk.com and take advantage of the super size Pixi Glow Tonic Salon Size which is a whooping 16.9 oz in size. I go through Glow Tonic pretty quickly and the larger size, totally need it.

Sadly, it is yet available in the US but hopefully it gets here fast. Maybe for Spring 2017?

The new bottle is two times the size of the normal one but it’s the same great alcohol-free, 5% glycolic acid formula that gently exfoliates skin and leaves it soft and smooth.

By the way, I’d change one more thing about Pixi Glow Tonic if I could. Love the new larger size but how about a fragrance-free version? I hate the smell of this as it stands now!

Dreaming of Super Size Pixi Glow Tonics tonight!
