overstressed, overwhelmed, over-exhausted, all key phrases that jumped out at me when i first saw a teaser of lancôme’s newest energie de vie line of skincare. it resonated with me immediately, as i’m sure it did for the other bloggers in the room, and i’m sure it does with many of you reading this post right now. those phrases apply to my hectic schedule but also to the way that my skin in particular feels after those long work days spent in front of the computer, many sleepless nights catching up on work, the amounts of makeup that comes on and off every time we shoot or have an event and, of course, the travel. i mean, i can’t even remember the last time i actually had six hours to leave my contacts soaking in their solution. it’s a lot, but i love my job and i wouldn’t have it any other way. energie de vie is the newest player in my growing arsenal of favourite skincare products for the very reason that it understands the stresses of right now. the collection comprises of seven different products that you can collect or mix and match for a flawless beauty routine. i put three of them to the test: energie de vie sleeping face mask, energie liquid care and energie de vie pearly lotion and am happy to report a soothing, water based formula that lets your skin feel refreshed, light and energized. a perfect sidekick for my busy lifestyle. i used all three of them interchangeably and the sleeping mask right before i go to bed for a flawless morning glow. this line bottles up energy to plump and smooth out your skin with the help of some superstar ingridients like french mellissa, goji berry & gentian (don’t worry i didn’t know what those were either until i actually saw them). the good news, is that they are all rich in antioxidants, preventing the skin from seeing effects of sunburn, premature aging of the skin, and even skin cancers, consider yourself covered. it’s your new secret weapon! xoxo
