Clarins: All the best

Image
 I will suggest you a couple of products for dry skin, all from Clarins. It is one of these brands that I like the most. I also have to admit that some of the products were disappointing, mostly because of the smell, the heaviness of the perfumes in them, mostly. I get irritated when a smell is too strong and I cannot resist but see the bad sides of the product afterwards. Here, I will talk to you about: 1) Clarins Shea butter cleanser for dry and sensitive skin  2) Clarins Roll-on of Clarins for women (it can also be unisex) 3) Clarins Joli rouge  4) Clarins Intense lip oil (a new product)  5) Clarins beauty flash balm  6) Clarins foot cream  7) Clarins facial mist  8) Clarins satin eye shadow Let's get started...  First of all, the most used and loved product for me has been Shea Butter Cleanser of Clarins for sensitive and dry skin. It is a great product. I have used it for many many years. Now even my husband uses it to cleanse his skin. It never harms the skin and it soothes i

Skin care routine from professional brands and from youtubers

How do we do our skincare? What is the order of things? Which products shall we use? How often should we do skincare? These are all questions that are answered a bit vaguely. However, I made the research for you and here are the results. MY SKINCARE  I just want to insert here my skincare and what I do. So the first and the last rule is not to overload your skin with too many products and too many applications... It is enough that you do two or three steps (cleanser, facial mist or toner and hydrating cream for eyes and the face) but could care to use good products (definition of good products: what helps your skin rather than how much it costs or how much advertisement is made about this product). However, now I will describe the situation in which I use more than three steps... So if I wash my face, first I use the cleanser of Lancome Miel en mousse . I have to say that I suggest this product before, but this product by itself, without some hydration can still cause dryness on

My Favourite Things: Cosmetics You will not Regret Buying

Image
In this blog, I will tell you all the products I love the most, that are economic or expensive, that are from known brands or unknown brands, those that are colourful or nude... but those things that you will never regret having. Let us start! Hmmm. I have been using makeup more heavily since I am thirty. Nevertheless, there are things I am sure of, and there are things that I am still trying and seeing. Here are all those I DEFINITELY LOVE TO HAVE AND DEFINITELY NOT SORRY TO HAVE BOUGHT: 1) Let us start with lipsticks. Which ones are my favourite? Let us start with the red lipstick , Lancôme Isabella inspired by Isabella Rossellini  matte red, nice texture, nice colour, live saver, evening saver, evening beauty everything that lights you up and makes you look like "I know how to use the right red". It is one of the favourite lipsticks I have... LANCOME Rossellini Red Lipstick Second lipstick I love I definitely love is Kiko matte velvet passion pink... I have b

Who wants to stick (around)? Nobody!

Dear Readers, This one is about roll-ons and stick-roll-on(s) you got it right. Have long been a smelly cat myself, like Phoebe from How I met your mother would say ... It might be related to what we eat, how often we do sports, genetical etc. But still, some people need more deodorants than others. I will give you a couple of suggestions, two are okay and two are wonderful! Let's start with the "okay" ones. So the first one is  Green Natural Brezza Marina  which is really quite nice without alcohol, paraben, SLES and aluminium. I tried it a couple of times but in long days of summer, it does not suffice if you are a smelly cat type! It is made in Italy and you can find it in pharmacies. The second one is Soft and Gentle without aluminium again: it has a nice smell, a bit of lavender I would guess (the purple one). You should allow it to try before dressing. It does not contain alcohol either.  This one is made in Poland. One of my favourite ones is Clarin

WHAT TO DO: We will use these CLEANSERS if we have dry skin!

I have experienced and suffered for you! Now here are some ideas on make-up cleansers! I hear you are saying, "you know it all!" I tell ya "yes, I do know somethings and will share it with you". And you hear me well! Have tried so many cleansers. Will categorise them as creams and as the gels that you clean and use with water... So let us start for the best ones with cream and one with oil... If you have dry skin you need to be careful not to tire your skin too much and the products shall be skiing on your face, like buttermilk. The first one is  Mixa ... This product is quite soft on the skin, I cannot say that it cleans perfectly but it does 90 per cent of the job. And it has a very soft smell, does not smell too much of cosmetics although it is cosmetics... it is hard to get I admit, however, I have seen many Mixa products on amazon for instance. The second one is the Turkish one as I am Turkish, this has been always one of the favourites of mo

Maybe in winter we need to be hydrating our skin more?

Now that winter is approaching more hydrating creams might be needed. I will give you a combination of well known and less known brands from different places. This time there will be just a few products but I will explain how they work... First one is the Yves Rocher Anti-pollution UV Beauty shield cream... it is such a nice one that keeps your skin hydrated whole day. I love its texture and smell! Have always loved Yves Rocher The second one is Bottega Verde (avena per i pelli delicate o sensibili) and it has such a soft smell, I use it mostly at night, it has a very natural and light texture, I definitely suggest it. The third one is Caudalie Vinosource Moisture Recovery Cream for dry skin, that works all fine, too! Well, my sister thinks Yves Rocher is much better but I am not so sure yet... I like them both. The fourth one is a B&B cream from Dior: you probably know this one already... I have been using it a lot. It is my third tube now that is abo

LIPSTICKS: WHO DOES NOT LOVE TO HAVE A GOOD LIPSTICK?

This boom with cosmetics in the last years is incredible. So many brands, so many colours, so many artificial products and so many novelties! But how will we know which lipstick is the best one? There are three questions when it comes to lipsticks: 1)    Do they suit you (colour wise)? 2)    Will you ever find the perfect colour? 3)    Which are my favourite(s)? So basically, I have three main questions to answer very shortly. But then I will tell you a summary of my experiences about the lipsticks, brands, textures, pigments, colours… will share you a great variety of them from each brand. The colour range is from red to orange, from orange to pink and purple. But there are a few nude colours which are closer to brown as well. Never liked brown as a lipstick but maybe till I find the right colour I should just shut up. Let’s start with the first question. Does every lipstick suit everyone? It is not possible. I will give some suggestion
