VGam Biome Go2 Biotik First Impressions

December 6, 2021 | jodi - a brash attitude

Hello, hello – welcome to / welcome back to A Brash Attitude! Today I have a first impressions / mini review of the GO2 Biotik Duo from Vgam Biome. Recently they had a sign up for free mini samples and I was one of the lucky ones who signed up before they ran out.

This is a Quebec based, Canadian brand, that purchases its ingredients from sustainable sources, and have environmentally friendly packaging, and are cruelty free and vegan! The skincare line is minimalist and works for all skin types.

The GO2 Biotik Duo is made up of their Facial Cream and Mineral Serum:

BIOTIK KOMPLEMENTS mineral serum and BIOTIK ELEMENTS facial cream are meant to be used together daily, morning and evening, applying the 2 products previously mixed in your hands.

You can increase or decrease the amount of each GO2 duo products. In general, dry skin requires more cream while oily skin requires more serum.

For any imperfections, apply a drop of serum with your finger directly on the blemish a few times a day (in addition to your V*GAM routine). Our formulas are designed to naturally reduce dark spots (hyperpigmentation) and prevent premature aging of the skin.

I love the custom mix idea – sometimes my skin needs more hydration, sometimes it doesn’t. Very gentle, and non-greasy. The serum also works great as a spot treatment for breakouts!

I’d like to try this skincare duo in full size, as I feel that you really need to try skincare for at least two weeks (if not longer) to really get the “feel” for products.

Have you tried this skincare brand?

Garnier Skinactive Lift Nightly Firming Cream Review

June 2, 2021 | jodi - a brash attitude

Hello, hello – welcome to / welcome back to A Brash Attitude!

Today I’m reviewing another facial cream from Garnier – they were recently Leaping Bunny Certified Cruelty Free. I’ve been testing this facial cream for two, maybe three months, so I’m ready to review. [info in italics taken from the Garnier Canada website]

Anti-wrinkle: Skin appears smoother and the look of wrinkles is reduced. Firmness: Well hydrated skin looks more toned and feels firmer. Radiance: Promotes radiance and reveals luminous, healthy-looking skin. It’s fast-absorbing texture brings a supple and comfortable feeling to the skin as well as durable hydration.

This is a rich night cream, it can also be used as a facial mask – which I didn’t realize! Despite being on the thicker side, it does absorb fairly quickly into my skin. My face is so soft in the morning when I use this before going to bed. I use a lot of radiance boosting products so its hard to say which one is doing the job.

My only negative for this Nightly Firming Cream is that it is VERY scented – which you all know that I am not a fan of. And for this reason, I will not purchase it again unless they make an unscented version. Thankfully the fragrance doesn’t trigger a reaction, but if you are sensitive, make sure to do a patch test.

Have you tried this one?

Kariderm Moisturizing Face Cream Review

December 21, 2018 | jodi - a brash attitude

Hello, hello!

Today I have a review of another product from Quebec based company Kariderm – if you remember, I reviewed (and loved) their Restorative Hair Mask. When PozPub reached out and asked me if I wanted to try out the Moisturizing Face Cream, I immediately said yes! Thank you PozPub and Kariderm! [info in italics taken from the Kariderm website]

A little bit of background on Kariderm:

Founded in 1998, Flash Beauté Inc. conceives, manufactures and distributes the KARIDERM products, maintaining its leader position in its domain: natural personal care products made with shea butter.

In order to reach this target, we have established a tight partnership with a women cooperative of shea butter producers in Burkina Faso, the Songtaaba Association or ASY.

In this context, our personal commitment during several trips on the field enabled us to define several cooperation and assistance projects targeting not only the quality and market image of shea butter, but mostly the working conditions of women, their incomes and self-development perspectives.

How beautiful is that? A company that gives back!

Now onto the Moisturizing Protective Cream:

The KARIDERM Moisturizing Protective Cream with shea butter, replenishes moisture to deeply condition the skin for the entire day. Easily absorbed thanks to its light texture, it rapidly softens, nourishes and protects the skin, allowing a natural and enhanced radiance.

My skin LOVES shea butter. This facial cream is super hydrating but very light. It can be used as either a day or a night cream (or both). It is the type of face cream that works for all skin types (unless you have an allergy or sensitivity to one of the ingredients):

INGREDIENTS: Aqua, Isopropyl Palmitate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Glycerin, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Sorbitan Stearate, Cera Alba, Xanthan Gum, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Phytate, Aniba Rosaeodora (Rosewood) Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin) Peel Oil, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinol

The cream has an almost watery texture and absorbs into the skin very quickly. It works well with facial oils and serums. As an added plus, the Moisturizing Protective Cream also plays nicely with makeup (whether full foundation, concealer, powder, or just with concealer and powder).

I’ll be taking a short break next week for the holidays, but I’ll be back on the 26th with a new review.

Thanks for reading.

Disclosure: PR sample, thanks Kariderm / PozPub, however, my opinion is based on my experience of using this product.
