Linden Leaves Miraculous Facial Oil

I read so many good things and raves about this facial oil on numerous blogs. So I was thrilled and lucky to score this in the first beauty vault. The ingredients sound promising and the beautiful, white porcelain bottle coupled with the luxurious vanilla scent suggest facial decadence. I decided to wait till winter to use this because I thought it would be too oily for my normal/combination skin. I used this nightly over winter and hoped I would soon see the miraculous on my skin. Unfortunately, for me the widely publicized smooth, brightened, clearer complexion that a lot bloggers with different skin types accredited to this oil, never happened for me (main reason why I don't subscribe to blogs). The things I like about this oil is the natural ingredients, beautiful white bottle and gorgeous scent. It did moisturize my skin but it's probably the thickest, facial oil I've ever used and even when my skin was drier during the winter it didn't really absorb instead it sat on top and soon proved too greasy for daytime use and so I used it at night and cut down to using it as a treatment oil after exfoliation or using a peel or mud masque. If an exfoliating treatment it would absorb better but I still had a slightly greasy face. I finally ended up buying some jojoba oil and adding a couple drops of this at night to enrich it and it worked best for me that way. Personally unless you have really, dry mature or extremely sensitive, red, dry skin this probably isn't worth the price. I was lucky to score in the vault but if I had actually paid for it I would have been really, disappointed. I might consider this in the future, like many, many years from now when I'm much, much older and need a good, thick oil for my face. However if you want a thick, luxury treatment oil to enrich a plain facial oil, like rosehip, jojoba or argan or you just want something to add to masques or facial moisturizers this will last you a long time.
