Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review

Reading Time: 6 minutesThe Shiseido Future Solution LX line was given to me at a blogging event. All opinions expressed are 100% my own.Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review, Future Solution LX Total Protective Emulsion Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Future Solution LX Total Protective Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Future Solution LX Extra Rich Cleansing Foam, Future Solution LX Concentrated Balancing Softener, Future Solution LX Intensive Firming Contour Serum, Future Solution LX Total Regenerating Cream, Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream, Back in October, I attended an event where I was lucky enough to enjoy a Shiseido Future Solution LX facial.  At the end, everyone who attended was given their own Shiseido Future Solution LX  skincare set to go home and try. So, for the last 6 or so weeks, I’ve been exclusively using Shiseido skincare.

The Future Solution LX skincare line was recently reformulated to include SkingenecellEnmei. (Don’t ask me to pronounce that!) This new ingredient helps to slow down the aging process and restore and repair skin cells in order to give you smoother, softer, and more youthful looking skin. Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review For years, I’ve enjoyed Shiseido products, but I rarely had the opportunity to try more than 1-2 products at a time. Being provided with the full set made me extra-excited as I have always really wanted to try their skincare products together to see the full effect of their skincare line. And now that it has been a few weeks, I felt like I have really gotten to try and see how the skincare line works, and I am excited to share my review with you all.

Before we jump into the individual products, I want to first talk about the entire Shiseido Future Solution LX  line. Shiseido products are always very beautiful, but this line went above and beyond my expectations beauty-wise. These products are the sort of products that you want to have on display on a shelf, as they are so lovely to look at. I think the ombre gold and black packaging, as well as the bright and airy white packaging, look very beautiful. I really appreciate when a brand puts thought and effort into the way their skincare line branding looks overall, and you can tell Shiseido really did put thought into their packaging. And, I love that their symbol is beautifully shown at the top of each product and that each product’s packaging is heavy and luxurious feeling. Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review

Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review

Future Solution LX Total Protective Emulsion SPF 20 Review

In the mornings, I have been applying the Future Solution LX Total Protective Emulsion SPF 20. I love that it has a light SPF in it as I am always concerned about sun protection. The Emulsion is quite a milky formula when you first pump it out but as you blend it you’ll notice it becomes quite thin in texture. Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review, Future Solution LX Total Protective Emulsion Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Future Solution LX Total Protective Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Future Solution LX Extra Rich Cleansing Foam, Future Solution LX Concentrated Balancing Softener, Future Solution LX Intensive Firming Contour Serum, Future Solution LX Total Regenerating Cream, Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream, I have found that the SPF in it does give off a pretty strong scent, but in general, I don’t mind the smell of SPFs because I appreciate what they are doing for my skin. What I like most about the emulsion is how it dries down. Once applied, it really blends our easily and it dries down/absorbs in quickly. It doesn’t feel tacky or sticky like so many SPF products do. Cost: $260.00 Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review, Future Solution LX Total Protective Emulsion Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Future Solution LX Total Protective Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Future Solution LX Extra Rich Cleansing Foam, Future Solution LX Concentrated Balancing Softener, Future Solution LX Intensive Firming Contour Serum, Future Solution LX Total Regenerating Cream, Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream,

Future Solution LX Total Protective Cream SPF 20 Review

This product is slightly heavier than what I’ve been used to applying in the morning, but I’ve found the extra-boost of hydration has really been helping soothe and remedy my typical dry spots (ie. around my nose) I also have found that hydrating my skin with a heavier product like this in the AM has helped my makeup apply much more smoothly and evenly. In addition, having such a hydrating product on my skin has helped stop my makeup from clinging to my dier spots. Cost: $260.00

Future Solution LX Extra Rich Cleansing Foam Review

The cleansing foam is one thing I have gone through so quickly. In my opinion, the cleanser is on the small side. Since I typically cleanse twice a day, I went through this product much faster than I have the others – in fact, it’s the only one I have finished! This cleansing foam is so soft and gentle on your skin. Out of the tube, it’s quite a thick pearly white cream (it reminds me of the look of a shampoo) and as you work it into your skin it becomes much foamier and light. Cost: $60.00 Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review, Future Solution LX Total Protective Emulsion Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Future Solution LX Total Protective Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Future Solution LX Extra Rich Cleansing Foam, Future Solution LX Concentrated Balancing Softener, Future Solution LX Intensive Firming Contour Serum, Future Solution LX Total Regenerating Cream, Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream,

Future Solution LX Concentrated Balancing Softener Review

The Future Solution LX Concentrated Balancing Softener is the toner of the skincare set. It has a milky consistency which is quite soothing on your skin. I apply the balancing softener by adding 2-3 pumps onto a cotton pad and then lightly running the pad over my skin. This is one of my favourite steps of this skincare routine as it really does instantly make your skin feel baby soft and soothed. Cost: $105.00 Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review

Future Solution LX Intensive Firming Contour Serum Review

The contour cream you can technically use both in the morning and at night, but with already using 2-3 products in the AM, I have decided to reserve use of the contour serum in the evening. In the mornings, I really only want to use a couple of products so that my skin doesn’t appear oily throughout the day. The contour cream is one of my favourite products from the line. It is more like a milk than a serum. You apply this contour milk just using your hands, and I was told you want to apply it to your face and neck in an upward massaging motion. This milk is supposed to help contour your face, and tighten your skin. I have found this to be an extremely great product. I really do feel like it has made my jawline more contoured looking, and I just love how lightly hydrating it feels on my skin. Cost: $300.00 Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review, Future Solution LX Total Protective Emulsion Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Future Solution LX Total Protective Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Future Solution LX Extra Rich Cleansing Foam, Future Solution LX Concentrated Balancing Softener, Future Solution LX Intensive Firming Contour Serum, Future Solution LX Total Regenerating Cream, Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream,

Future Solution LX Total Regenerating Cream Review

The Night Cream is another fantastic product. It’s a little heavier, and therefore I would recommend it for those looking for a heavier, more intensive, and more hydrating product. After I cleanse, apply the softener, and firming contour cream, I then apply the Regenerating cream. I know, it sounds like a lot of steps but seriously – it feels so luxurious and makes your skin feel so soft, it’s like having a mini spa session at home every night! The Regenerating Cream was the one step I was originally a little nervous about. My skin is fairly balanced and so I was concerned that this would “overhydrate” my skin and cause it to have breakouts. But since using this entire line I have had a grand total of ZERO breakouts, and my skin has never looked so vibrant, healthy, and hydrated before. As a night cream, the Regenerating Cream is heavier than the other lotions, serums, and creams in the line. It is slightly peach tone looking in the jar, and is quite thick. When you apply it in small dabs around your face (I apply about a dime size amount to my entire face) and blend it out it does feel slightly tacky. Overnight though it sinks into your skin and leaves you with soft and smooth skin. Cost: $280.00 Shiseido Future Solution LX Skincare Line Review

Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream Review

Last but certainly not least is the Eye and Lip Contour cream. This cream right off the bat was one of my absolute favourite products. And, I am not just saying absolute favourites just from the line – I am saying absolute favourite products – ever! The eye and lip contour cream is super thick, super creamy, and super hydrating. Like the Regenerating Cream, the eye and lip contour cream has a slight peach tone to it and when you apply it you’ll notice it leaves a peach/white cast to your skin. While I am still quite young, I have found that my eyes are one place I am noticing fine lines and darkness. Since using this over the last 6 weeks though, I have found that my eyes look brighter, and my lips are less chapped. Cost: $150.00

Now, I know what you’re thinking right now… “How much do all these cost?” and honestly, I am scared to tell you the answer – because this line is by no means “affordable”. This is a definite luxury skincare line. Overall, I love this skincare line but of course I know it’s not for all budgets!

    Ahhh I must try out this range!!! I totally agree on what you said in regards to the packaging, I love how luxurious it is. Perhaps I’ll give that eye cream a try, so many eye creams and serums have disappointed me this year 🙁 Wah! Hopefully I have success with this one!

“I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 I s “I want to grow seeing you smiling” 💛 

I saw so many powerful messages today from people sharing their "why" — the reason behind why they were there and standing as one of the "fringe". Here's a few reasons that I saw and heard: 

- Why? Because I want my child to grow seeing smiles and smiling
- Why? Because I miss my family and loved ones.
- Why? Because my lived experience tells me not to trust what is happening right now. 
- Why? Because I believe in our informed consent principles.
- Why? Because I believe in choice without coercion. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my job as a healthcare worker. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my business. 
- Why? Because I’ve lost my home. 
- Why? Because I’ve been injured. 
- Why? Because I think there’s a better way forward for everyone. 
- Why? Because I chose what I knew was best for me and I want everyone else to be free to do that as well. 

Everyone has a unique reason why, and it’s important to take a moment to recognize and acknowledge them. Now is the time. Let's come together and be united💛

#vancouverfreedomrally #freedomconvoy #unity #freeandunited
I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the I want to be clear: I am not trying to dismiss the loss and illness that so many have experienced from C. It has been an extraordinarily hard two years for many, many people, for all sorts of different reasons and it is not my aim to diminish any of them. What I am trying to express is that we are at a breaking point societally. 

If we continue to move forward with coercion, mandates, restrictions, and divisive passports based on fear (or a hope) then we risk setting precedents that we may not be comfortable leaning on in the future. We also risk dividing our society to such a degree that may make it difficult, if not impossible, to ever bring back together. Despite all of the debates, arguments, and comments made over the last few years, I do not believe that deep down Canadians want to live in a state of perpetual division.

If this is not the time to unite and end these mandates, when is? It is our systems that are broken, and they have been broken for a very long time. We all know this. Let's unite and fix them, and more together 💛

Creating our own peace ☮️

Nearing the end of 2021, one thing that Jer & I wanted to prioritize was creating our own peace. Life has been exhausting for the last long while and, like most people, our mental well-being suffered from the current state of Canada. We knew we needed to make some changes, add something to our lives to remove us (even temporarily, now and again) from the chaos that is now the “new normal”. So, we began making road trips around BC to find our very own home away from home. I feel immensely lucky to now have this remote sanctuary in our lives. It is somewhere we can go when life gets too overwhelming, somewhere we could live eventually if life continues to be overwhelming. In just the first few days here, I’ve already felt a shift in my mindset. I feel incredibly lucky to have this place and already it feels like home. 💖
✨Growing pains✨ . . . 2021, for many of us, w ✨Growing pains✨
. . . 
2021, for many of us, was a year of growth. Some of it was painful, most of it inspiring, and all of it necessary. Sometimes growing means needing to shed the older versions of ourselves and sometimes that can be difficult or cause a loss in friendships or relationships. It can be challenging - believe me, I get it. But, anything or anyone who couldn't respect your growth then won't respect your future growth. While growth can be painful it is not nearly as painful as the dull consistent ache of feeling stuck.
