Preface
To me, L'Occitane is a luxury brand, which I thought I would need to think over and over if I were to buy.
Remember my post which I mentioned that I was so packed?
Honestly, never have I thought that teaching both Form 3 and Form 5 would be so stressful. With meetings to attend, workshops to run, intensive classes to give, the list seems to never meet its end. I remember feeling so lethargic that I had dark circles under my eyes, and the wrinkles somehow got clearer. It felt awful standing in front of the mirror, and I couldn't help but to notice how dull I looked. I thought to myself, "there's no way for me to look like an old hag at this age." Just then, I received two sample sachets of the L'Occitane Immortelle Reset Oil-in-Serum (thank you Hermo!). Well, I actually kept it for a week or two before actually using them. It's a luxury brand thingy after all, I wouldn't want to use up so quickly lol.
Oil-in-Serum?
If you have been keeping up with me, you would surely know that I have oily skin. If I top my oily skin with something with oil, I might look even worse. It was one of the reasons I did not start trying the samples. Why would I risk my face for something I might regret using? Them I remembered reading Jun's tweet saying that the L'Occitane products she used are amazing (Jun was one of the senior cosplayers). I guess there was where my courage came from, and I finally opened a sachet to try. This product claims to reset the skin. So, okay, fingers crossed. Hopefully my face would not become worse.
I followed the instructions, and gently massaged my cheeks. The game changed.
I can't forget how the scent made me feel. With the stress I had, the scent was so soothing and calming, I could almost not believe it! As silly as this might sound, but I must admit that I smiled when I used it. I felt so relaxed while waiting for the serum to be absorbed into the skin of my face. To my surprise, it absorbed really quickly, and did not leave any sticky feeling at all! "What an amazing experience!", I thought to myself. I would really love to use this Immortelle Reset Oil-in-Serum again!
After using the Immortelle Reset for several days, my skin has become more radiant. Maybe it really did reset my skin after all. Albeit I only tried the serum from a sample-size sachet, but I no longer look dull, stressed or wrinkly like before. Since I can actually see and feel the differences before and after using, I decided to purchase a full-size bottle for myself.
And I did.
I bought one as a birthday present for myself in October, and it is definitely a great investment. I still attend meetings and give intensive classes to the Form 5, but I still look stunning! I'm so glad to have tried it. This Immortelle Reset Oil-in-Serum is definitely a must-have item! I still think of L'Occitane as a luxury brand, but I believe that it is worth buying.
See those stuff in the Immortelle Reset Oil-in-Serum? They are the 3000 golden bubbles that release the immortelle flower essential oil. With the iconic powerful antioxidant, they help to boost the collagen production, assisting in skin renewal and radiance. Safe ingredient, aye~
Another natural ingredient is the extract from acmella oleacera flower, which is able to relax the muscle underneath the skin. This ingredient explains a lot why I feel so relaxed even under stress! With relaxed muscles on your face, wrinkles won't come so soon! If you Google this flower, you'll be surprised to find out that it is actually a natural alternative to botox!
The third key ingredient, which I feel is an ingredient that I love, is the marjoram extract. The resetting ability comes from this flower extract. What it does is it promotes natural aging whereby restricting your skin from reacting to any external factors such as stress or pollution. Phew~!
My only complain is that the Immortelle Reset Oil-in-Serum comes in a 30ml bottle. I wish it came in a bigger size~
