It is already quite cold here in Toronto so to counteract
the frigid temperatures and blustery winds I’ve altered my skincare routine to
include more moisture and protection. Rodial makes a variety of luxury creams and lush oils
that nourish, balance and resurrect tired looking skin for a youthful
complexion.
The Rose Gold Moisturiser ($250.00) reshapes and rejuvenates
with a potent blend of 24K gold, Vitamin C, Shea Butter and soothing
oils. The buttery cream is formulated to visibly redesign the face by firming, lifting, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, brightening and defining
the facial contours. Along with promoting a more structured profile, the
texture is rich and incredibly hydrating so my skin is soft, smooth and radiant.
The moisturiser is dense and more suitable for night care but
it absorbs deeply and rejuvenates parched, damaged skin while you get your beauty rest - similar to a replenishing night mask.
A little goes a long way and the finish is supple and velvety with no greasy
residue. If you are looking for a fabulous winter cream this is definitely a
great treatment to redefine and fortify your skin.
The Stem Cell Super Food Facial Oil ($80.00) is a light serum that contains a powerful cocktail of super oils including omegas 3,
6 and 9, plus Vitamin A, B5, C and E. The Rose Stem Cells protect against environmental
aggressors and damage from sun exposure while reducing wrinkles, boosting
radiance and enhancing vitality and firmness. Sometimes the formula reacts to
the residue of my face wash, cream or serum and produces a milky lather that
needs to be blended in but it does not appear greasy. The oil targets dehydration
and clings to the skin for a luminous, healthy sheen.
The Airbrush Makeup ($50.00) is a heavy duty foundation
paste with versatile, buildable coverage that allows you to create a
photo-ready, flawless finish. The shade I have (04) is not an exact match
(there are only 4 colors available) so I can’t use it as foundation but it
makes a wonderful concealer. The creamy texture is ultra rich and highly
pigmented for camouflaging blemishes, imperfections and color discrepancies
like hyperpigmentation and redness. It also provides long lasting coverage for
dark circles and scars with a dewy, satin finish. If you blend well it does give
the skin an air brushed effect but I recommend setting it well to lock-in the
color and prevent creasing (especially under the eyes).
The Airbrush Foundation Brush ($58.00) is large, dense, firm
and soft with a domed shape for effortless makeup application. The quality is
superb with very little shedding and the durable bristles blend seamlessly and deposit
product where you need it most. You can use it to apply powder in hard to reach
areas or sculpt the hollows of the face for definition and contour. This is
also a great tool for makeup artists.
