Dr. Jart Ceramidin Starter Kit Review

Hi!

Last month I won a great giveaway from Birchbox filled with a ton of great Dr. Jart products!!  I haven't tried everything yet, but the products I've tried, I LOVE.  One of the items was the Ceramidin Starter Kit.  

It comes with a Liquid bottle and a Cream tube.  They are meant to be used one after the other, but you can also purchase/use them on their own.  I've used both products in the morning and evening (after washing my face) every day since I got them, so for a little over a month.  They are so great for my skin!

First of all, my face, and skin in general, have been very dry because of the cold.  When I got this I was just starting to wonder what I should be using on my face.  Perfect timing!  My face really hasn't been dry at all since using these products together.  Second, some products make my face breakout after using them for a while.  This hasn't happened at all with this kit.  I just use a tiny bit of the Liquid (which is like a serum) and the Cream (which has a texture similar to thicker/less-runny lotion...not the best description!).  Both are yellowish in color and the smell is almost menthol-y, which I really like.

The box lists all of the benefits of the products, such as "transforming rough and dull skin into hydrated healthy glowing skin", strengthening and protecting your "skin barrier from chronic water and moisture loss",  and plumping and sealing fine lines and wrinkles.  I feel like they do all of this and more.  

When I got it, I googled "ceramide" and basically, it's the main thing that our skin is made of, making it waterproof and keeping good things in and bad things out (not nearly as scientific as the actual definition :) ).  It really does seem like these products make it so my skin is stronger, smoother, and more solid!

The full-sized Liquid and Cream can be purchased individually on the Birchbox website, along with the kit.  I am definitely going to buy both of these, either in the kit or separately once I run finish these.  I am so glad that I won these products and was able to try them because otherwise, I'm sure I never would have had the chance!

Thanks for reading!

Dr. Jart Giveaway Prize!

Hello!

Last week I won a giveaway that Birchbox was doing on Facebook with Dr. Jart!  I had never won a giveaway from Birchbox before last week and then I won two!!  This one and the Toni & Guy one that I wrote about here a few days ago.  

My prize came tonight!  I wasn't sure exactly what I would get and I was so surprised with how much there was!!

Love the note from Team Birchbox!  I want to work there!!  Maybe if we ever live in NYC :)

Here's everything I got:

Two masks, a Brightening Infusion one and a Pore Minimalist one. 

I've heard a lot of good things about their masks and I've seen so many people sampling them on Instagram so I'm really excited to try these!

I got a Ceremidin Starter Kit, which sounds super fun!

It has a liquid and a cream that it says to use one after the other and it's good for dry skin.  This will be perfect because the cold weather here is making my skin drier!

I also got The Original BB Cream Set!

As soon as I finish the BB cream I'm currently using (Ideal Flawless BB Cream from Avon that I love!) I will start trying all of these!

What a fun, exciting prize to win!  Wow!!  Thanks again, Birchbox and Dr. Jart :)

I just got another Etsy order for some holiday hair ties so I'm getting that ready to mail tomorrow!

I spent my late afternoon/evening making about six dozen mini caramel apple cupcakes!

I used a Pillsbury mix that I got at Target.  I used my mini cupcake maker so it took a while (you can make 7 at a time) but I love using that!  So fun :)  There's no way we can or should eat all of them so I'm going to take some to the front office of our apartment tomorrow!

Thanks for reading!
