Review- La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo moisturizer

First - My favourite face moisturizer ever is the Origins Balanced Diet. Since I have combination skin (more oily than dry parts) I need a moisturizer that can manage both very oily skin and dry patches. This one does soooo perfectly BUT it's kinda' expensive so when I started saving more money every month I had to check out some new moisturizers.

The choice fell on the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo, it says on the tube (first of all I LOVE moisturizer in a tube, so much more hygenic) "Corrective and unclogging anti-imperfection care".

It claims : "Reduces the appearance of imperfections. Unclogs sebum-blocked pores."
I also claims to be well suited under your makeup.

What I think :
I haven't noticed any difference with my pores BUT my skin has cleared up (from using nivea products when being broke last month) in just a week and a half (I had massive breakouts) and my skin feels hydrated but not oily. It sinks in to the skin beautifully. I haven't had any dry patches at all either so that seems to be working out aswell =)

At the pricepoint of 179 SEK vs. 350 SEK for the Origins one it most definately will replace my beloved Balanced Diet. At least for a while ^^

Recent buys...

First of all, I haven't bought any makeup in over a month ½ so I'm freakin' proud of myself ^^

Now I needed a new moisurizer and decided to go out of my comfort zone (ORIGINS Balanced diet) and go for La roche Pose as the brand has been raved about so much. I also needed a new volumizing/matifying hair powder and found a cheaper alternative to OSIS+ Dustit.. OK I didn't neeeeed the last product but I've been eyeing it so long now that I just couldn't resist!

Too Faced Eye Love Palette- Really wanted to see if it could be a good alternative to the NAKED Palette as it is hard to get a hold of =)
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Moisturizer, - It's supposed to keep your oils in control and also work great as a Makeup base..
Swartzkopf got2b volumizing styling powder- Well a good matifying and volumizing powder is just what you need a lazy day when your too tired to wash your hair or just don't have time to =)
