Eye Creams: A Brief Outlook

Image
Dear Readers, I have used a couple of eye creams and want to share a few of my experiences with you. Will start with the oldest one that I used to use: Avène It is good and it is effective till some age though. After the age of thirty, I needed to use the anti-ageing eye-cream but the pump got broken and could not use it anymore. I will take a stronger anti-ageing of this brand cause I love this brand and need to accept my age I guess. The second one I enjoyed using was Nuxe, it was okay for a long while, but did not see many differences regarding before and after. I need to use stronger ones of Nuxe for sure. Cause the one I had was the lightest. The third one is Kiehl's eye cream, regret to say that, no differences again. I will use the avocado one next and will tell you more about that bit. The fourth was a brand called Eva, an Italian brand, a good one, and I think it was quite good compared to others, and it goes for a long while, so that is also fine. The sm

ROSE WATER? REALLY?

I will be very direct and brief with you. Have tried so far three to five types of rose water. The best is a Turkish brand: Gülşah Then if you cannot find it Otacı (again a Turkish brand) is good as well. I would say that it is also more economical. Another one is like a spray and quite good: Clarins Re-fresh , it is not exactly rose water but a mix of different flowers, you can smell the rose really strongly though. Aaaand there is also an Italian brand which has a very nice smell, it is one of those old recipes... It is also more economical if you have a budget spared for rose water. It is not super luxurious but it has a very very light smell if you do not prefer strong rose smell. Finally, I tried Garnier , but not so happy with it. Still, I have to say that it is 96 per cent natural, it does not have silicones, or parabens or colouring chemicals inside. Bought it in Ipersoap and I think it is not a bad purchase: it also claims to be good for dry ski

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

HYDRATING CREAMS AND A LONG HISTORY OF EXPERIENCE: LET’S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DRY SKIN

Avène Optimale From the age of 19 till the age of 30 almost I used  Avene Hydrance Optimale   hydrating cream ( Hydrance OPTIMALE Légère ) .  It was suggested by a skin doctor who was a friend of my mother. I am thankful to her up to this day. I was using a little bit of it applying it to the whole of my face day and night, and it was enough for a long while. At the age of 30 or so I started to notice some changes on my skin, it can be even the age of 29, but something has changed. Hence, Avene Optimale was not enough, so I had to try so many different products after that. Clarins Daily Energizer Cream Although it is a very good cream and it keeps the skin quite hydrated, hydration does not last long and it has a very cosmetic smell, especially after having used Avene it is felt even more. Although I can suggest it to someone with less dry skin or someone with oily skin maybe… from my point of view,  Clarins  daily energizer did not work. Bes
