As a skincare addict I always jump at the chance to try new skincare products so when I was contacted by Somme Institute to try out their line of products I of course said yes.

I’ve been using the line now for about 2 months and I feel like I’ve used it long enough that I can do a honest review.

The 5 step program includes:

1. Nourishing Cleanser (blue dot): A gentle non foaming cleanser.
2. Transport Pads (purple dot): Cotton pads with MDT5 and AHA.
3. Serum (orange dot): A potent Vitamin C serum.
4. A-Bomb (green dot): A Vitamins A and E cream.
5. Double Defense (SPF 30+) (pink dot) : SPF 30+ and Parsol 1789.

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this line of products and I’ve already recommended it to several friends.

Old acne scars faded away with this regimen and my skin got fresher and had more of a glow.

I’ll tell you what I told my friends though( since I consider everyone who reads this blog a friend) and that’s if you can’t afford to buy the whole system which is $298.00 get steps 2,3 and 4.

Those are the essentials in my opinion.

The cleaner is nice and gentle and I love the sunscreen, but to me it seemed like the transport pads, serum and a-bomb did all the work.

Also, I will add that my skin is acne prone and while this product seemed to do really well with my skin type it did still break out occasionally and I had to spot treat with my proactive spot treatment.

I’d love to see Somme Institute come out with their own spot treatment for us acne prone girls as I’m sure that product would be just as amazing as the rest of their products.

The 5 Piece Regimen can be purchased here.

For my birthday recently a friend gave me these three soaps by Soaptopia.

As you all know I’m a huge soap fan (mainly lush) so I was excited to learn more about Soaptopia.

Soaptopia offers 100% JUNK-FREE body care products at great prices.

The 3 soaps I got were Sea I Told You Soap, Beauty and the Beach and Rozilla vs. Dry Skin-ea.

Sea I Told You Soap is a mix of Spearmint, Eucalyptus, Pumice and Sea Kelp. Smells like a day at the beach. I love it!

Beauty and the Beach is a mix of Sweet Orange, Jasmine, Vanilla and pumice sand. Smells great.

Rozilla vs. Dry Skin-ea is a mix of Madagascar Vanilla and Rose Essential Oil. This one is super moisturizing and great for that dry winter skin.

I was very happy with these soaps and would definitely order more in the future.

Soaptopia soaps are $6.95 and available online at Soaptopia.

Another amazing product I picked up from Sephora for my birthday was the Dior 3 Couleurs Smoky Eye Palette in Smoky Khaki.

The palette helps you get a catwalk-smoky eye look in three easy steps.

The shadows are soft and creamy and they blend amazingly well.

Dior did not skimp on quality with this kit the quality for these shadows is amazing.

I highly recommend it!

Have you tried Dior shadows in the past?

I’d love to hear your reviews!

Smoky Khaki Palette is $48.00 at Sephora.

Mad Men returns on March 25 and along with that Estée Lauder will be releasing a Mad Men themed collection.

The two piece collection will feature both a cherry red lipstick and creme blush in retro gold packaging with 1960s style boxes.

As a huge Mad Men fan I can’t wait for this collection to launch and will probably pick up both pieces.

The Estée Lauder Mad Men Collection will be available starting in March at Bloomingdales.com and EsteeLauder.com.

Will you be picking up anything?

A quick sweep of the colors together.

What is there to say about Dior Amber Diamonds Shimmer Powder that hasn’t been said before?

Not a lot but I’ll tell you this much it’s just as amazing as you’ve heard it is.

I’m obsessed with highlighters and this one, a mix of ivory/champagne/tan/bronze and peach shades is just perfect.

It’s finely milled, goes on as smooth as silk and would look amazing on almost any skintone.

My favorite highlighter for sure.

Retails for $44.00 at Sephora.

As many of you know I did some shopping online for my birthday last week.

Well today the products arrived from Sephora and I thought I’d share a quick picture.

I bought the Dior Shimmer Star in Amber Diamond and Dior 3 Couleurs Smokey Eye Kit in Khaki.

I received the Happy Birthday Fresh Sugar Set from Sephora, got a free full sized Buxom Lip Balm in Waikki thanks to a coupon code, cashed in 100 points for Murad Complete Reform and got three samples.

Look for reviews soon.
