Maple Holistics Vitamin C+ Facial Serum
Skin care has always been more important than makeup to me, so I was very interested when
Maple Holistics offered to send me some products to try out.
Vitamin C+ Facial Serum is the product
that I was most interested in. I did
some research on vitamin C serum & discovered that long-term topical use has
been clinically shown to regenerate collagen and improve the appearance of
wrinkles. I also read that for some
people, vitamin C can cause redness and stinging upon application. Being someone who
has sensitive skin, I wanted to start out slow with the serum. After cleansing my skin (I don’t use toner) I
applied a couple of drops of the Vitamin C+ Facial Serum, and followed that up
with my regular moisturizer, both day and night.

I have tried this for a full 7 days and I can
honestly say that my skin feels better, and there was no redness or stinging
thankfully. When I say ’feel better’ I
mean that my skin is much softer to the touch.
The serum is completely scent free, has a convenient dropper to aid in application and is not greasy.

| Vitamin C+ Facial Serum - Maple Holistics |
I will continue to use this serum and if the results
continue, my regular serum will be replaced with this one. I would definitely recommend this, if someone
is looking for a new serum to try out. One fluid ounce cost $11.77 US which is reasonable for a good serum.
If you are interested in trying out this serum or would like some more information, check out Maple Holistics.

Green is the colour of the day and this is OPI's Stranger Tides. It is from the Spring 2011 Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Collection It is kind of a khaki colour but greyed out...if that makes any sense. Regardless, I love it...it is such a pretty muted green! I achieved opacity with 2 coats.

#30DaysofColourChallenge - Pink
This is a month long swatch challenge for September. A
different manicure every day!
Pink is the colour of the day and it is one of my favourite colours. I decided to create a marble mani using just a simple sponge. I used Essie's Cascade Cool as the base and for the sponging I used OPI's Mod About You. I really like the way this mani turned out, very subtle.
