  1. I love using and trying new skincare products that helps brighten my skin!! Super recommend kiehl’s dark spot treatment and shiseido white lucent serum- expensive but they really do work! XD Always remember to use sunscreen during the day especially after using vitamin C skin care… or else there will be opposite effect&your skin will become very sensitive to the sun. It’s also important for everyone to intake more vitamin C fruits and supplements now to our boost immune system to prevent catching any flu and virus. Hope everyone stays safe&healthy

  2. I have used the Trilogy Vitamin mist and it is not my favourite… I found it rather sticky. I prefer the mist from Ella Bache… a little expensive (probably wouldn't purchase it with my own $$$$) but I got it as a GWP.

  3. My boyfriend broke up with me 8 months ago, because he felt i was cheating on him with a male friend of mine, i tried all i could to explain to him but he paid deaf ears, i was emotionally devastated because i really loved him until i saw a post on the internet about DR Ayoola, who helps people gain back their lost lover, at first i doubted if it was real because i never believed in such things but i decided to give him a try, I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a Love spell for me The process of the spell to reunite lovers is very simple and he works selflessly people the same way he restored my relationship within 48 hours and my boyfriend was calling and begging to make up with me again, if you need help to reaffirm your relationship or marriage problem.

  4. I’ve just purchased a new bottle of Vitamin C serum last Thursday. I bought the Mecca Cosmetica brand. It’s 15% Vitamin C. They have given me generous samples, and I was really happy with it. Plus every time I walk past, I put some on the back of my hands, and they’ve never looked so good! It’s supposedly coming by express postage, so hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.

  5. I have tried The Body Shop Vitamin C range, but I didn’t really like it. I love the Elizabeth Arden capsules. I got some from Rewards Room a while back. Absolutely gorgeous! They are all gone now. I also love the Kiehl’s Vitamin C serum, but I won’t repurchase because it’s too expensive for it is. The Vitamin C percentage is too low compared to others available.
