Hi Lexi, I'm sorry you're dealing with bad allergies...I can hear it in your voice and I hope you don't also have a cold. I'm glad you're finding new homes for some of the makeup you're not reaching for. Feel better soon and get some rest!
So much fun! Thank you for introducing me to new skincare brands! I'm envious of people who can wear SPF with octinoxate; it makes my eyes red and watery.
Hi Lexi, your skin has definitely changed over the last year I think ....it is much less red and the clarity and texture has greatly changed also for the better...Your skin looks great.... smooth & even..... bright and clear so what ever you have been doing has really worked for you... love these type of videos..
Another comprehensive review of many products. I have very sensitive skin now 65 yrs old. I had been using Lancome Genfique skin care line with very good results. My dermatologist suggested her line of skincare. I started using it three weeks ago and see a VAST improvement. I have always just used cleaning face soap and moisturizer. The newer to me products are light years ahead of my knowledge. You just don't know how a product is going to work until you try it....everyone's skin has different needs and tolerances. Thank you for helping so many of us have glimpse into all levels of skincare and makeup options. My new products from the dermatologist were more effective and less costly. $1,000 for one bottle of skincare to me is excessive, if you can afford it do. Your skin looks absolutely beautiful, so it is working for you.
You look absolutely beautiful, definitely notice the improvement in your skin. Your videos are the best, really appreciate the effort you put into each one.
I believe your skin condition has improved even more with auteur, although difficult to tell since it was so amazing prior to use! I am going to use your link to pick-up the enzyme cleanser! Looks fabulous. Thank you!
I consider those significant improvements coming from skincare used in the span of three months. The difference in skin texture was the first thing to catch my eye, then the overall evening of skin tone and reduced fine lines. .. Thanks for sharing Lexi !!
Hi Lexi !! So glad you are finding good homes for your unused makeup . Hope you feel better soon . Allergies 😔, take some time for yourself and rest when you can .🤗💕
I have the same mild aversion to body lotons. I have to recommend to you my HG for body care, it is the Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil, it’s a dry oil, cheap and so effective. It helped to significantly diminish the severe KP in my arms. It’s been the only solution for it after years of trying many treatments with several dermatologists.
I am going to be honest, this is the best your skin has ever looked since I started watching your videos. I started watching your videos when I was researching Sisley Paris and was thinking that Sisley didn’t do anything special to your skin for the price point. However, this brand had made your skin look flawless.
I just purchased three of the Discover kits as I am so curious to try this brand. I am afraid I am going to love it lol I have been trying Sicily Paris for the past year and I have had hardly any positive results considering the price that they put on their stuff, so I’m hoping that this line will actuallywork for me. It definitely has worked for you. Your skin looks amazing in this video.
@@Tonyahill2017 thank you! I hope it works for you. The current body led devices seem to make a big difference too. I have the face and eye ones but honestly use the eye one the most since i can use it while brushing my teeth.
Omg !!! I just bought three of the Auteur discovery sets and I am loving it. I love the enzyme cleanser , eye cream , neck cream and the number 1 serum the most. The number 1 serum is the fastest acting serum I have ever tried. I used it last night and tonight and just that fast my face looks improved. I don’t know how I am going to be able to afford this line but it is a must have skincare line going forward. Goodbye Starbucks every morning, goodbye eating in general lol.
Hello Lexi. You always make your videos helpful, independent of the subject. This one was very much appreciated and I think that you read my mind... Thank you for the suggestion and I must tell you that your skin had improved a lot, congrats. Ida
Hi Lexi! Thank you for rounding up your declutters and empties and sharing your current skincare products. Thank you as well for showing how your skin responded to the Auteur skincare products. It’s always helpful to see true before-and-afters. To be honest, on my screen, your “before” skin looked really great, and your “after” skin does not look significantly better. (I mean, on your “first thing in the morning” section - no under-eye puffiness, no dry patches, etc.) So I agree that the ~$1K serum may not be worthwhile - prescription retinoids cost far less and are proven anti-aging topicals. I am so sorry you’re having to cope with allergies - they can so debilitating.
Thank you Jocelyne! Allergies are the worst! I have only had them for about ten years and growing up I never understood how my mother felt. I get it now! Hopefully this early spring will not make them drag out longer than usual.
Lexi, your skin looks great! Everything you’re doing keep doing your skin looks really clear. You’re lucky you don’t have hyperpigmentation it’s so hard to try to get rid of. And I’m suffering from real bad allergies too. Their real bad last couple weeks. I hope you get some relief soon. Your skin looks great!! 😊🌺
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Lexi , I would love to buy the Popeline pallet off you!!! I'm still sick over not picking it up when it was available ! That is my color story! I really wanted it!!!🥰👃👃👃🌈🌺🌺🌺
Hello Lexi, I live in one of the worst places to be concerning allergies, Austin. Oddly, the past couple of years I seem to be less effected. My immune system has become stronger. That sounds unbelievable. Thank you for the declutter video; it’s inspirational.
@@LexiJongI hope this will help others who suffer, not only from allergies but also migraines. In 50 words or less, haha. Firstly, sad to say, cut down on the ice cream! Sugar feeds inflammation. But since I have been restricting sugar for years, that is not the full solution. I suspect it is a combination of things. I minimize legumes in my diet; I believe them to be inflammatory. I do on occasion have hummus or black beans. I also avoid soy. For others, avoid foods that you feel are inflammatory for you. Here is what I know has made a huge difference, because it was not in my diet at all before. I hope you like fish! Salmon twice a week, farm raised. So I googled if that might be contributing to stronger immune system and there is research to support this. I am proof. This allergy season except when cedar etc was at a high level, I didn’t even notice. And only needed to take Benadryl for a few days. It may have taken a year or more to get to this point, but I can attest, it definitely helps. ❤
@@dksosajfl ugh! Ice cream!? I am working on reducing my sugar intake so I will cut back on it but I don't know if I can cut it out. Salmon I love so that will be easy to increase in my diet. I think you are right and I am eating a lot of inflammatory foods recently. I need to go back to basics. I will give this a try and we will see if next year's allergies are better! Thank you Claire!
This was great Lexi! The Auteur looks very nice! I did see some improvement you really don't have lines except the forehead which I feel there has been improvement. The enzyme cleanser is it comparable to the new Sisley one? I've been meaning to pick one up and haven't yet. All the products look great. I hv to finish up some things. I hv the Sisley Hydraglobal the other one and I don't care for it either. I find it to be not very moisturizing. I'll try to use it up in the summer. I heard your voice right away and thought a cold. Allergies☹️ You are a trooper! I love how you call companies and get information.
Thank you Susie! I think the enzyme cleanser is better than the new Sisley. I have that one too and I notice a more dramatic difference with the Auteur. Unfortunately my daughter is sick so I'm hoping I don't catch that and pile it on with the allergies!
Curious if you've you ever used the brand cellcosmet? I'm using their "precious mask" right now and I absolutely love the results!! Thanks again for another great video
Hi lexi, I have redness problem with a lot of spider veins appearing on my face and was going to purpose the green container from chantecaille, have you ever tried it? It's the CBD one. Do you write the date of purchase on the bottom or are you looking at the bottom of the bottle for a different reason? I love seeing what your thoughts are via decluttering or using or repurchasing ❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Sam! I have the CBD lotion from Chantecaille and I like it. I use it in particular for contact dermatitis which I end up getting every spring/summer when gardening. I am not sure how it will do with the spider veins but it is a nice calming lotion. I write my start and end dates on the bottoms with a sharpie.
@@LexiJong thank you so much for your help. Do you happen to know anything for spider veins? The dates in a great idea, is the start date when you open it or buy it? I have quite a collection now and don't know if it needs throwing, selling or I can hold onto them as none are open, any advice? ❤❤
@@samb6330 unfortunately I don't know of anything in particular for spider veins but it's worth trying the CBD cream. I write the start date of when I begin using a product. For the most part, many items that are unopened can last years before going bad (depends on which actives are in there though) because usually it is the oxygenation that starts the degradation of the products or the introduction of contamination. I would look for any textural or smell changes in your products and if something seems fine but you still aren't sure, use it on your body so it doesn't go to waste. I'm not so great at using up my makeup so I try to make sure to use up all of my skincare!
Hi Lexi love enzyme wash i have from MBR it is expensive, but it does last very long time. When it comes to Calecim. I am not impressed at all. The serum is ok, for the crazy price. If Biologique recherche still had original placenta serum, i would choose over 10 times, the new vegan version is ok, but not the same. However price wise is so much better. And their multiaction cream, i didnt like at all. Well its ok, but the price is crazy. And actually mine was little left and got dry. I had the cream since November. Thats never happened to any skincare to me before. So i will stick with BR , but honestly, the only things what i am expecting from skincare is glow, brightness, and to calm, the skin, after actives, and good hydration. I dont like new reformulated BR colostrum serum. The old one was all i needed. So i am looking for new Hyluaronic acid to add, but i am not investing crazy money in skincare. My main things are good enzyme wash, P50 which is an amazing toner, with acids, which exfoliates the skin and also made my skin more robust not as sensitive, Good vitamin C i use Ferulic . Serum, i use placenta old one or new formulation, to calm skin down, and good cream moisturize . I use 2 day time BR cream placenta, which cost below 100$ , and its good and at night i love BR Masque Vernix which is more expensive its something over 200, but still not 400+ , and its very dense, i mix with little oil or cream pigm, for glow. Thats it and of course at night i use my Retin A , which i started only last November. Honestly, i strongly advise, to train your skin to acids, so you could start RetinA journey. Its not expensive, and it does amazing results, to the skin. If i go back in time, u would start using it, at least from 40. I know you are very optimistic, that skincare prevents aging. Not so much. I am little bit older than you. And believe me, once 50 hits, all new things start happening with your face. I am very holistic, and always had great skin. No issues whatsoever. So i never thought that aging will come . But it does, and what really does wonders to prevent, using more actives, vit C , retinA, and also investing in more medical treatments, to prevent sagging, loosing fate fat. And then again some women are ok, with little aging, but i am taking very hard, not looking 30 anymore 😂 so i am looking in non invasive treatments, like PRF ( which is like stem cells filler, all natural, instead investing 1000$ in a few creams. I dont believe that creams can prevent wrinkles, sagging or loosing facial fat. Have a blessed day🙏🧡
I'm so sorry to hear you don't like the Calecim. For me, I like it better than the BR but I have only used a sample size of the placenta serum years ago. I have not really cared for the newer BR formulations either. I am working on building my skin up to RetinA. It's getting better each year. I don't believe that skincare will be miraculous at preventing aging either but I'm also not interested in invasive treatments, like you. Thank you for sharing your routine Giedre!
Hi Lexi, I have very dry under eyes skin during the winter here in Quebec. The Auteur eye cream is too expensive. Do you know of a more reasonable alternative for hydrating the mature under eyes skin? Thanks
I have a few recommendations. The Circell ABO eye serum is great. I'm finishing up a bottle right now but have been using it since this summer. You can layer it with something else as well if you need more moisture. The Jones Road eye balm or Bobbi Brown eye base are both good moisturizing options. Also, Biossance squalane eye cream in the jar is a nice option. Depending on your budget, you might want to look at the Sisley eye mask which you can use as an eye cream (it will last years) and can often be found online at costco. The Retrouve eye concentrate is also something I use a lot during the winter. I usually pat it over a serum but this is also pretty high on the price list. And although it might seem odd, just a tiny dab of aquaphor under the eye can help seal in moisture and keep the area hydrated. Please let me know what you end up finding!
@@LexiJong Thank you so much Lexi for your detailed reply. How do we find these products? Are they featured on some of your videos? BTW, I have the Sisley eye mask (the greenish looking tube) and the Sisley Supremya Eyes at night serum. But so far I haven’t seen much improvement. Now I think it just dawned on me that it’s a serum and not a cream.
Yes I think that one is best layered if you need more hydration. I am not sure which of these I have in videos since I don't always feature skincare options. If I were you, I'd head to the store and see what you can find in person and try to get samples. Try the aquaphor or vaseline at night right now though and see if it helps. Just a tiny dab is all you need but it really helps imo.
@@LexiJong I’m with Costco for over 20 years and never knew they carry Sisley skincare until you told me. They don’t have the ones you suggested but they carry the Eye and lip contour cream that Desi Stark suggested, so I’m getting that because I love Sisley’s products. I hope it works well with the Susley Suprema serum.
I'm glad you found a formula you like instead. I think the newer Dior shadows are so much better than the older formula but there are many other great formulas on the market as well.
