ReVive Sensitif Renewal Cream Daily Protection spf 30 review

I cannot believe, in the fourteen years I have had this blog, I have not reviewed this face cream yet! In addition to the night cream and dark spot corrector, this is my gentle, daytime face cream. It is the best one for adding moisture when my skin is dry; which happens for me at the end of winter and well into the spring season.

A good, moisturizing face cream is imperative; especially if it includes both UVA and UVB protection. Plus, spf 30 is good perk too! The sun does so much damage to our skin, especially as us GenX-ers age! We need to protect what we have left!

ReVive has been in my beauty routine for over two decades now. I absolutely love their products and the Sensitif Renewal Cream is no exception. The daily renewal cream is great for adding moisture while protecting from the sun. Love!

I use their day cream in late winter through spring and early summer. Then, I switch to the dark spot corrector for late summer and the fall season. Love them both!

Here are my favorite products from ReVive:

*Please note: The packaging has changed for this day cream. The jar you receive may be labelled differently than the one I photographed. It is the same cream inside. The new jar says “Daily Cellular Protection” instead of “Daily Protection” and the detailed spf protection has been streamlined.

Thanks for stopping by!

Summer is looking lighthearted and fun! As we move through the spring season, the summer season is fast approaching. Like spring, the summer season will be offering us lighthearted hues and fun styles. We are still looking at classic, wide leg, and straight jeans or pants. Flats, ballet flats, loafers, and casual footwear are also hot for summer. The anonymous handbag and investing in long term clothing will also remain important as we move into the summer season. Love!

I love the fact that investment dressing continues since it is an important way to create the perfect wardrobe, save money and contribute to slower fashion. I don’t feel the urge to go back to following one season trends; do you?

How pretty are the two nail polish colors from Dior for the summer 2024 season? Love! Dior has given us a sparkling lemon hue as well as a soft minty green for the upcoming warm weather season, and they are both beautiful!

Lemon Glow by Dior is a happy yellow nail polish with soft sparkles. This offers a slightly golden effect which is subtle and pretty. I tested out Lemon Glow with two coats of color, and one base coat. It applied evenly and offered a solid color finish.

Pastel Mint by Dior is a soft minty hue, cream nail polish. I used two coats of color and one base coat. This too offered a solid color without streaks. Dior Pastel Mint nail polish is definitely my favorite of the two for the summer season! I am always drawn to shades of blue, green, and purple nail polish.

So, without further ado, here are swatches of the two nail polish hues from Dior for summer 2024.

Both nail polish colors from Dior are fabulous for the summer 2024 season. Of course, as I mentioned, Pastel Mint is my favorite. I might wait until I get my summer tan to wear Dior Lemon Glow since it is such a soft yellow. They are both really pretty!

Which of the two nail polish colors are your favorite for the upcoming summer season?
