Clarins Multi-Active Review + a Spring Beauty look
A few weeks ago, I had the chance to attend an event for the launch of Clarins Multi-Active. A skincare line geared to millenials, it was interesting to check out products targeted to 90s kids instead of people 40+.
I'm surprised that the Clarins Multi-Active day cream lacks SPF protection which, in all honesty, is the ONE element every under 40 skincare product needs. While of course, you could layer a sunscreen on top of it, most people my age want an all-in-one product to cut down time spent in the morning, and the effects on our wallets. What makes the Multi-Active line unique is the inclusion of teasel extract, a flower that has an antioxidant effect. Myrothamnus extract also targets the pressures millenials are under by smoothing fine lines and boosting collagen production -- erasing those all-nighters prepping for a presentation! Hyaluronic acid is a must in any skin care product I use, which provides moisture and has anti-ageing properties. I think if this day cream had an SPF included as well, it would be perfect! I also wish it came in a pump dispenser, because I worry about bacteria and air spoiling the precious contents of the jar. The cream is very light, not heavy, making it a good makeup base as well.

I can't believe winter is FINALLY OVER! It's been a lot lighter this year, but I'm already excited to ditch sweater tights, snow boots and mittens. Here is my first day of spring outfit to celebrate the new season and new beginnings!

My last day in New York wasn't supposed to be my last day in New York. In fact, I should have been sitting in Evidence class, but was stuck in NYC after my plane had anti-freeze drip through the cabin door and a freak ice storm came right as we were about to take off. My boyfriend made his flight (note to self, stick with Canadian airlines!) while I had the chance to roam the streets for an extra day. I had the chance to take in the gorgeous Hiromi Asai show, and meet my friend Dasha, a Torontonian turned NYC expat to explore the Flatiron District.
