Today I wanted to tell you about my new day cream which I am pretty much in love with. This is L'Oreal newest addition to the Youth Code line- Luminize.
I picked this up because it was reduced in Boots when it was launched but for some reason it doesn't appear to be on the website. Anyway, I think it was £15 at full price and on offer for just £10. There is also a serum in the range that sells for £25 and was reduced to £15 at the time as well.
I'm not fussy when it comes to moisturiser really. I don't have sensitive skin, I still have quite young skin (despite being the grand old age of 27!) so I don't worry too much about paying out for products. I don't usually spend more than £5 on a moisturiser but let's just say I felt like splashing out and was more than a little swayed by the lady letting you test it in the aisle. OK, it's a massive ploy to get you to buy it, but seriously- how useful is it to be able to try out the stuff, just like you can with premium counter brands?
I plumped for the day cream over the serum because I don't think my skin needs something that rich. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed with the cream after using it for 2 weeks now.
The "luminizing" effect comes from the fact that the cream is slightly iridescent but let e reassure you that this isn't one of those disco ball creams. See?
As soon as I rub the cream in, this is the effect.
So you can see that it's not over the top at all. In fact my boyfriend used this at the weekend and it's totally suitable- no sign of shimmer at all and it just makes both me and him look more awake.
You get a 50ml pot for your pennies and I think it's a great product. It's definitely got me thinking about investing slightly more money into my skincare now that I'm in my late 20s.
What moisturiser do you use? Any recommendations for good, but not crazy expensive, skincare for me?
