Beauty Talk: Serum Testing Results

The hands down winner turned out to be the Biotherm Skin Vivo Serum.  It really was the only one out of the three I tried that made a real difference in my skin.  Serums are supposed to penetrate deep down into the skin.  Skin Vivo did the best job because my skin felt softer and more plump.  No greasy feeling.  It had the unfair advantage of being the first serum to be used on my skin but it did the best job.

I really did not like the greasy feel of the Clarins serum.  It felt like grease was sitting on top of my skin to keep it moist.  Didn't see any real improvements in my skin texture or appearance.

The Dior one was second best.  It felt good on my skin just like the Biotherm one.  Although I didn't see or feel a noticeable difference - it was also the last one I tried so the other two serums did some of the leg work already.  For $100, it's not worth it.

I'm partial to Biotherm but I've also seen it work on my skin.  I actually got compliments on my skin after two uses.  Just remember, after you apply the serum - wait 15 minutes before you put on your moisturizer and sunscreen.  Yes, I said "AND  sunscreen".  Ladies, we all know how damaging the sun is to our skin so always apply sunscreen to prevent sunspots and wrinkles.

A Surprise at the Gas Station

Something pretty cool happened to me today while I was filling up at the Petro Can gas station.  On the other side of the pump that I was using, a gentleman pulled up in a 2007 Aston Martin Vantage.  I turned to the gentleman and I asked "Is that what I think it is?"  and he smiled and said "Yes, it's an Aston Martin".  This is the same car that was used in James Bond Casino Royale.  He was nice enough to let me take this picture of the car.

Even the door handles were funky!  He asked if I got a couple of pics of the car and I said yes, thank you.  He then opened the car door and invited me to sit in the driver seat!  My eyes went wide open.  He was letting me sit IN the car.  His wife was really nice too.  They get this a lot so they did not mind letting me sit in the car.  I got out and thanked him and told him that it really made my day.  Then he revved the engine and sped off.  That's an awesome car!
