Let’s Start Back with Pacifica!
I am Going to tell you guys what my favourites are from this lovely bundle- so kindly gifted.
Skincare First Always
From Pacifica’s webiste
Ingredients We Love
Granactive Retinoid: Petroleum-free retinoid known for helping fight signs of aging, and found to be less irritating than traditional retinol.
Melatonin: In your body, melatonin reminds your brain it’s time to sleep. On your skin, melatonin is a supercharged free-radical scavenger. One of the key ingredients in your fight against aging.
Mushrooms: Promote hydration and help reduce puffiness.
Quinoa: Loaded with antioxidants, which help fight free radicals, and high in lysine, which is an amino acid that helps promote collagen production.”
My Thoughts-
I love it. I think it’s great for night time use as the next morning I saw a light shed of dead skin cells. Personally, I wouldn’t use any sort of retinoids during the day: no matter how much spf I use. Night is when our skin does its restoring and its repairing so I always let my retinol/ retinoids do their powerful work at night.
“Sleep pretty knowing our Wake Up Beautiful Retinoid Cream is working over-time. This light-as-a-pillow, nighttime moisturizer is packed with potent ingredients to help hydrate and repair skin while you sleep. Our patented RestLab ComplexTM combines a powerhouse of natural and clinically studied ingredients to address signs of aging and hydrate skin so that you can wake up feeling and looking beautiful.

My Thoughts-
Again I love it. It’s a perfect match for its sister serum. My skin has shed quite a bit since starting to use it. PLEASE always do a patch test when trying new products! Yes this does increase the cell turnover and I can definitely see that in the morning when I am just about to wash my face. I think that if you are new to the world of retinoids this is the perfect pair.

My Thoughts
This is like a whipped cream dream. I had to take a photo of the texture because wow it’s luscious. It smells incredible and sinks in quickly. I always apply body butters/ creams straight out of the bath or shower. It’s like the skin is way more receptive to moisture. Mega Mega love.
And lastly for now
Their Fragrances!
When i first really getting into beauty intensely -about 18 years ago – Pacifica’s Fragrances were some of my first faves.
“Inspired by a full moon in Ibiza, this is an explosion of scent. Sandalwood, jasmine and smoky cardamom evoke a sense of mystery and fluidity. Our Neon Moon Moods Perfume is a bold, gender-neutral aroma with enigmatic floral notes and grounding earth notes. Much like the illuminating moon in its highest power, prepare to make a statement.
The Moon Meaning: Full Moon. Mysterious, alluring and breathtaking.
The Moon Mood: Fluidity. Energetic Sandalwood, Luscious Jasmine, Covetable Smoky cardamom”
The Moon Mood: Visionary. Patchouli, for sacredness. Sandalwood, for divine. Pink rose, for astral.”
I love them both but I would say Dream Moon is my fave. The Vibe is a little bit softer. Think the 1970’s with some bright glam- to paint a visual for you.
I NEED to try more of their fragrances as they really are poetic and hold some nostalgia for me.
Thank You Pacifica for the gorgeousness! Love who they are as a brand and what they stand for!
