You know how these fancy brands like Vichy and Clinique have sckincare products that are life saviours? Well, my dream was always to have a chance to try (and have) one of them, and my day finally come.

But not exactly like that…

A makeup brand called Max Love has now a kind of facial serum, with prices that are quite reasonable - here in Brazil we have so many taxes that a product you normally buy at the drugstore in your country will be heavily over priced.

But let’s return to the Max Love serum.

When I first saw the price on some website, I couldn’t believe it was true - “another attempt to fool who likes to buy things on the internet”, I thought. But then I saw it at a store with a similar price (phew...) - it was "safe" to buy it.

Their facial serum comes in a tiny bottle (30ml) with a dropper (so hygienic!), and the bottle is made of glass!! - I love little glass bottles because I can later use them to “reproduce” my plants.

* I paid R$ 12,99 at mine facial serum

It made me so happy, you know, being able to afford a cool product to use at night before I go to bed.

Truth be told, I’m well aware that it may not be a good product like the Mineral 89 from Vichy (looking forward to the day I’ll have one *-*), and I know it probably doesn't have the best “components”. 

I just hope it’s safe to use.
