Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate Review




I was really looking forward to writing this review because I'm so in love with this product!! I feel like it changed my life in regards to my skincare. But before we continue any further, let's go back to the beginning: why did I buy this product in the first place?
Well, I was for a long time looking for some kind of serum to apply to my skin during my night time routine but I didn't have any references or idea about what to buy. I was always pretty curious about trying Kiehl's products because I have heard many amazing things about them but I wasn't exactly thinking about buying the Midnight Recovery Concentrate. I don't know exactly why but it wasn't on my radar until I went to the Kiehl's store in Zagreb. 
In one of my many visits to the Arena Centar Mall, I stopped by their store because I was looking for the BB Cream, which I have already tried and I was determined to buy, but the lovely Kiehl's representative was so kind to really look out my skin type and explained a lot to me about their products and how to correctly apply them, she made me try a few products there and I ended up also buying their Avocado Eye Treatment, which I also love! 
The thing is that she also gave me a lot of samples for me to try and she strongly recommended me to try the Midnight Recovery Concentrate. So, I remember that night I was super excited to use that product sample and the next morning the results were amazing! My skin looked so bright, the tone was more even, it looked super healthy, hydrated and nourished. It was incredible! I never expected this product to make such a difference in my skin but after seeing the results I went back to the store to buy it. I was so thankful that the Kiehl's representative suggested me to try it and also gave me the sample and explain to me how to apply it correctly every night. To me, that was Customer Service goals and I really need it to mention it here as well! 



But anyway, going back to the product review, the Midnight Recovery Concentrate is very easy to use: I apply it every night after cleaning my face and applying a toner, I just use two drops of it, massage it through my hands to distribute the product correctly and then I just apply it on my face by gently pressing my hands to my skin for it to absorb the product. 
The texture is, of course, oily but it's very light and it absorbs so quickly that you don't feel like you have just applied oil to your face. It has a perfect combination of essential oils, including lavender oil which is my absolute favourite, to completely restore and nourish the skin during the night. The scent is very subtle and natural. In fact, I can only recognise a little bit of lavender in the smell of this product, which feels super fresh and relaxing.
Last but not the least, the results of using this product are so visible the next morning that it's shocking! It's helping me a lot with acne problems, to clear some dark spots I have on my skin and as I said before, the skin looks incredibly bright, healthy and hydrated.



I hope this review is helpful to those of you who may have been thinking about buying the Midnight Recovery Concentrate from Kiehl's and If you already have this product please let me know your thoughts in the comments! :)

New Hairstyle Routine

Ahora que cambié mi corte de pelo también tuve que cambiar un poco mi rutina para peinarme ya que como tengo el cabello un poco ondulado es un poco más desafiante lograr un resultado perfecto con lo que venía haciendo normalmente. Así que tuve que agregar un paso adicional a mi rutina para poder lograr el look ideal.
En primer lugar, antes de hacer cualquier cosa con mi pelo, aplico un sérum de Garnier llamado Super Óleo 8 que me compré en Brasil el año pasado. Me gusta mucho este sérum debido a que tiene aceite de Argán y Camelia, lo que protege a mi cabello del calor, me ayuda a controlar el frizz y siempre le da un acabado bien brilloso al pelo.

Now that I have changed my hairstyle recently I also had to change my styling routine because as I have some kind of wavy hair it was a little bit more challenging to have good results with what I was normally doing. So, I only had to add one more step to get the perfect look.
First of all, before doing anything to my hair I apply a serum from Garnier called Super Oleo 8 which I bought in Brazil last year. I really like this serum because it has Argan and Camelia oil and protects my hair from the heat, also helps me to control the frizz and gives the hair a shinny look. 



Después de aplicar el sérum, me seco el pelo con mi secador de Remington que compré hace varios años ya y me re sirve para poder peinar mi cabello sin sufrir daños. Vengo usando este secador de pelo todos los días durante mucho tiempo y la verdad que nunca noté ningún aspecto negativo en mi pelo. Con estos dos pasos, mi nuevo corte de pelo queda bien pero todavía un poco desprolijo y como a mi me gusta que quede un poco más arreglado agregué el paso final a la rutina que es plancharlo. 

After that, I dry my hair with my hair dryer from Remington, which I bought many years ago and I love it because it really helps me to style my hair without having any damage, I have been using it every day and didn't notice any negative aspects on my hair. With just these two steps my new hairstyle looks good but a little bit messy and as I like it more polished I had to add an extra step, which is hair straightening.



Para este propósito, hace poco me compré una planchita de Remington llamada Shine Therapy y estoy muy contenta con ella porque tiene control de temperatura, que va desde 150 grados a 230. Por lo general, yo la uso en 170 grados y se siente muy suave. Otro punto a favor de esta planchita es que solamente necesito pasarla 1 o 2 veces por cada mechón de cabello para que ya quede bien liso, lo cual me permite terminar bastante rápido, con 10 minutos ya me alcanza para dejar mi cabello impecable.

For that purpose, I recently bought the Remington Shine Therapy straightener and I'm loving it because it allows to control the heat from 150 degrees up to 230. I normally use it in 170 degress and it feels really gentle on the hair. Another great aspect is that I only need to pass it just once or twice to every lock to get it really straight so this allows me to finish very quickly, in about 10 minutes I can have all my hair done.
