Dior: Capture Totale One Essential

I used to have a Dior Silver makeup kit. It has six eye shadows, a blush and a powder, a mascara, lip gloss and tiny brushes.  It was a gift and I gave it away too. I didn't really know how much it was until I worked for Dior.

I've learned so much the past two months and I already have my personal favorites. The first thing I am very excited to share with you is the Capture Totale One Essential.


Here's some information from the Dior website:

The 1st fundamental age-defying step by Dior for all women, whatever their skin needs. To be used on cleansed skin before any other skincare, day and night. Every day, billions of toxins accumulate in all the skin layers, blocking cell regeneration. One Essential is a new generation treatment with a double-boosting effect. 1. It boosts the skin’s capacity for self-regeneration in order to fight visible signs of aging. Because it eliminates the cutaneous toxins from deep within, it reactivates exceptional cell regeneration: wrinkles are reduced, the skin becomes firmer, the complexion illuminated and unified. 2. It also boosts the effectiveness of the rest of the skincare routine. Freed from toxins and deeply regenerated, skin can much better benefit from the efficiency of the following skincare.

I am in love with this product. I usually break out whenever I try using new products. One essential helped control my breakouts. For some, you may break out because the product will try to take all the toxins out. Just wait for a couple of weeks and it will clear out. You will notice a significant improvement on your skin after a week or so. Your face feels firmer and smoother.

Whats great about this product is you don't have to switch to a whole new skincare line. You can you this together with what you currently have. It will make you current products work up to 50% more effective! 

You will apply this product morning and night after cleaning your face. If you use a toner, after
your toner. If not just after you wash your face with your foaming cleanser or whatever you have. But a toner is highly recommended to make sure all the dirt and makeup is removed. Do not put too much product. Pea size is enough! Plus avoid the eye area! 

After the One Essential, you may put your serum, eye cream and moisturizer (and sun block during the day).

It may sound like it will take you forever to do all these but it doesn't take that long. It may be a lot of steps but its worth all the effort!  Try this product! If you're in the US, go to any Dior counter to learn more about the product or you visit the  DIOR website. 

I've been Absent for Months... So ...What's New?

Well, here I am... It's been more than three months since I last said hello. I've been a little bit busy. I've been looking for a job and got lucky before the end of September. I am now a Beauty Specialist for Christian Dior at Macy's here in Concord.

I am loving my job. What's not to like playing with make ups?! Its so much fun and my co-workers are great! Another great thing about my job is I get employee discounts for Macy's and Bloomingdales!!!! Sweet!

The only downside is that I have to be on my feet the whole time. Its the total opposite of what I was doing for the last nine months before I got this job (sitting in front of the computer and/or TV). One other thing is I work weeknights and weekends. That means less time with my DH. But we make time for each other.

Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving. I have a lot of things I am thankful for: my husband, my family, my new family, my new job, my new friends, my old friends etc... Its been a good year. I am so happy and contented with what I have. I couldn't for more.


Here's our Asian inspired Thanksgiving dinner:

Me and my sisters-in-law  :)

It was a nice simple dinner. Me and my DH thought we'll be spending Thanksgiving night alone but everything worked out. It's my first Thanksgiving and believe that it should be celebrated with family and friends.

How was your Thanksgiving?
