I’ve tried quite a few Vichy products over the last year, and all of them have done exactly what they said they would do.
None of these products have felt as soothing, or had such a beautiful fragrance as the Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep Recovery Night Gel-Balm!
The best time to repair and replenish skin has to be at night because you can let your skincare regimen do the work for you, right?
Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep Recovery Night Gel-Balm does not need to be applied every night – instead it’s to be applied 1-3 times per week generously to the face and neck. It’s a pretty cotton candy pink, and smells yummy as well. Bonus!
It is suitable for all skin types, and is paraben-free and hypoallergenic.
It contains Hyaluronic acid to hydrate and re-plump the skin, Vitamin B3 to soothe the skin and act as an anti-inflammatory, and caffeine (amoung other ingredients) to stimulate micro-circulation, drainage and cellular energy.
In the morning my skin felt a moisturized, and looked a bit more radiant. I can use all the help I can get in the morning, so this was a great benefit. My skin seemed a little more, well, plumper! Normally I would hate to wake up looking plumper, but skincare wise it was a good thing! As I get older I have noticed my face has a bit of more of a hollow look to it, so having a plumper look to my skin make my face look more youthful.
I had no breakouts at all from the product, and it was so soothing to apply! It has a rich gel-like texture. It’s extremely lightweight! It almost feels a little sticky when you apply it (this seems common in other balms I have used), but in a few minutes that feeling was gone because it absorbed into the skin and the moisturized feeling set in.
For a girl with a lack of sleep problem, this product worked for me. It gave my skin an extra hydrating boost, and I just looked like a better version of myself in the morning when I looked in the mirror.
Another Vichy product I was really impressed with! If you are looking to do some skincare recovery while you sleep, check out Vichy Idealia Skin Sleep Recovery Night Gel-Balm. I loved it!

Backpacks, mommy clutch and contents will vary from those pictured.
Stores are filling up with cozy sweaters and flannel shirts for fall, and I’m already starting to think about what I need for colder weather. I’m still wearing flip flops, but it’s nice to have some versatile shoes for the transition from summer to fall.
One of the trends coming this fall will be pointed toe laced up flats, and I’ve already picked up a pair for myself.
This pair I’m wearing are from Aldo and are super comfortable!
I think they would look great with a dress as well because of the lace-up detail.
I’ve had a hard time finding them in stores because this trend is so fresh, but an easier time finding them online.
