Hello Perfect Legs!

I have to be honest, I may be young to be using body lifting products and cellulite control, but I do and a product I have turned to is by Clarins. I have been using this lotion on some days, mostly days when I have be running or working out (after a shower of course) or before bed.

 I don't use it everyday because I can't find a store in the US where it is sold still and, it's a little pricey to keep purchasing it all the time.

US Website  International Website

In Finland it cost €54.50/200mL from Sokos

From the US website, $68/6.7fl oz

**NOTE** The product I have is not available at Nordstrom any more online, the product from the links I believe are similar, just different name and package color.  

The bottle comes in a box with a pamphlet. In the pamphlet it shows ways of messaging the lotion onto your legs.

There's a slight menthol smell, if you ever used after sun lotion like Aloe, I would say it is close to that with smell and the tingle feeling after you messaged it into your skin. I also found it doesn't  moisturize my skin like normal lotion.

I would say the first time using this product I did notice a difference, but this is a product that when you stop, it will no longer have an effect.

  

I know this is on the pricey side and I really do like this product, but I have also tried NIVEA Skim Firming w/Q10 and it is more affordable. You can find it little under $8 from Walmart. Being a student, after my Clarins is used up, I'll be switching over to NIVEA, though thinking about this, makes me sad, but a girls got to eat. :)

Perfume

Let me talk perfumes. It's really hard for me to really fall in love with a scent, but I think I found the one! Untitled by Masion Martin Margiela. 

We first met in my branding class back in 2012. This bottle is a deluxe sample which I picked up from Stockmann, for those who don't know, it's a department store in Finland. Now a bit more about the perfume. 

Well it has an interesting scent, which I will try my best to describe. Sweet and Musty...Okay maybe the website would be better.

 "Surprising green freshness, evoking a plant bouquet (green boxwood, galbanum). Evolves into a trail of incense and musk notes."

-maisonmartinmargiela-parfums.com 

So I guess I was close enough. Now lets move on to price. 

Like I said I picked this deluxe sample from Stockmann. If the price of a full bottle scares you, you might want to first test the scent and ask from a sample. Why commit to something that you might not like in 30 mins after putting it on.

 I used Google shopping and it gave me only one store in my area, Saks Fifth Avenue

 $77/30mL $100/50mL $140/75mL

(For Stockmann in Finland, I couldn't find it on the web page, and for the 30mL i found it here)

 I would encourage a Google such for your own area if you want to give this a sniff. 

 I WILL be putting this on my Christmas list this year for sure!!!

End of August Hiking!!??

So it's been really slow at work this past 2 weeks, which is not a problem since I have an internship  portfolio to write and a thesis to think about. On top of that, this month is almost over!!! Next time I blink it will be September. Good Grief where has the time gone. Well here's a great time to update about my time in LA.

Well I have not done anything major since my dad last visited. It's quit sad. However, I did go on a hike the other day. My legs are just now over being sore. I went hiking at the Temescal Canyon and was hoping to spot the ocean, but the fog was in the way. Anyway, I still took some pictures.



This up coming Sunday I am planning on going on another hike with my childhood friend. She is going to take me to Runyon Canyon. She said it's going to be a work out, so I can't wait!

                              That's all for now.

OH YES! My beauty section should be ready soon, but if I can't do what I plan on doing on that page, I might just post regular post about beauty stuff.
