Three Masks and Three Toners

Image
This week I have tried three masks, well actually, Belif was one of those that I tried before. I will start with Belif... Then I will talk about the Repertoire and Re-charge of Clarins. In the second part, I will be talking about three toners: Garnier Rose, Pixi Rose, and Yves Rocher's new toner. MASKS Belif acqua bomb mask was great. You can just apply it to your skin and then take the access. On the website, it says that this mask is good against dryness, dullness, and redness. It is great for dry skin. So I do suggest it, it did not cause any irritation on my skin. Moreover, it smells like lemon, a bit of chemical, too, I admit. However, in general, it does not cause great trouble. In Sephora it says it is 34 USD, to be honest, I have not bought the whole thing, I just had the sample. I will not buy the whole mask but I can still continue to use samples. taken from Sephora's website Belif acqua bomb mask  The second mask I tried was a sample of Repertoire wit

Staying at Home and Taking Care of Yourself

Image
As we are stuck at home I would like to talk about a few rituals that we all do or at least try to do. I have a couple of suggestions on how to take care of yourself, your environment, and also the products that you are using. Now that we are at home, working or studying, or just being unemployed there are more chances to organize our stuff. I have checked all the cosmetics I have (mostly I have hydrating creams and lipsticks as you will see from the first two blog writings I have ). After having done a bit of these myself, I kindly suggest to do these things when you are stuck home: 1) Check what you have and what you do not need to buy. 2) Check the expiry date and prepare the ones that you will use next according to the dates. 3) Now that you are home, do your skincare every day: cleansing, using toner, hydrating... Try different masks that you have at home to see which one fits your skin the best. 4) Even if you see people just on skype or what'sup, try to make it pos

Samples and Ideas

Image
These days I have tried a few samples from different brands. They either come with the products or they are given to you when you shop at different places. I had this wonderful shopkeeper lady in Ici Paris in Luxembourg, Esch-sur-Alzette, she would give me a lot of samples of different brands. She introduced me to really good products like that. And also she did not give just any product but what fitted my skin, or what I could have desired. So I miss her really, there was a period I went to the shop and I could not see her, so I did not shop from there for a long while. Cause I did not trust the others as much as I trusted her. To cut the long story short... The first one is the BB cream of Missha , it was really good. It smells nice, it is kind on the skin and it is good coverage. It is something that women got crazy about so I also bought the real one. Let's see, I think I will like it. Missha BB cream - 29 USD The photo is taken from the website Another sample I have

Four More Masks: Belif, Garnier, Kenzo and Clinians

Belif Moisturising Bomb Sheet Mask Great mask, really happy with it. Super hydrating. It is refreshing. I did not use a hydrating cream afterward and the effect lasted really long. Suggest it! One thing I am not so happy with this mask is the smell, the smell is like lemon but also there is a chemical hint to it. If they can resolve this dilemma, then it would not only be much better but it would be perfect! Garnier Mask with Hyaluron Shot  This mask is amazing! So hydrating, made my skin softer. I can really not complain. Just a bit impatient to wait for 15 minutes but imagining that my skin would not react well I always wait for 10 or 12 minutes. Cause afterward I start to get bored. Great job Garnier! I suggest it. It seems that Beauty crew also gave it a lot of stars. Clinians Gold Mask  This mask was a bit disappointing, it was supposed to be with gold, but more than substance I felt a soft plastic against my skin. Do we really think about the environmen

Masks as Promised: The first Round with Five Masks

HQ Face Mask  HQ Mask with seaweed This one is really hydrating, it smells light but still perfumy. You can live it on or rinse it with water. I left it on after I took away the residues. It is called 'intensive moisturizing mask with seaweed' . I have felt that it has really hydrated my skin. Happy with the experience. Need to remind you that I do not buy each mask, I just buy the ones that have hydrating qualities for dry skin. Too cool for School - Hydrating Mask with Coconut Too cool for school ceramide mask It is very refreshing and hydrating but the holes for the eyes are so small that it bothered my eyes a bit. I am a kind of uncomfortable person even in comfortable situations and even when pampering myself. So I was not super happy with this tight cut for the eyes and the mouth. Other than that, it was a nice coconut smell, it was hydrating and can feel the effect even after I took off the mask. Good experience, like it! It has so many masks th

Which are unbelievably good hair products?

Here I will give a list of the products good for the hair, or at least I found them useful. LOW SHAMPOOS AND GOOD RESULTS The first one is the Caudalie Low Shampoo, this shampoo is without silicone and SLS, so do not expect it to have many bubbles and foams. It is not a usual shampoo, it is like low shampoos. A little amount from this shampoo is sufficient if you do not have extra long hair and you will see the difference that it makes after you wash your hair. I suggest this one definitely to everyone. The only issue is the price of it, it is not cheap at all for the amount it has. However, as you will see later on it has more inside the tube compared to the Yves Rocher Low Shampoo (which of course is also cheaper). I just want to mention one problem with this shampoo of Caudalie... The way to use it is difficult, cause the plastic that the substance is in, is very rigid, and when there is little left in the tube, it is hard to get it. In general, I think plastic is the prob

Which are my favourites for the winter months?

In this post, I will briefly tell you which products I have finished and liked a lot. There is also a bonus of it: Giorgio Armani foundation (luminous silk foundation) that I had as a small sample from Sephora (as a gift). THREE MASKS FOR DRY SKIN Let's start with the masks, I have been using more masks recently. Two of these are about to finish and one of them is new. The first is the hydrating mask of Avene , it is called also soothing radiance mask. It is really hydrating. I left it on and it absorbs easily. A good one! The smell is similar to Avene creams.  AVENE HYDRATING MASK The second mask I tried was the Origins Apricot mask , which is a great one, too, but it is so sticky like the syrup of apricot. It also can be left on, but I had to get used to it since it was not totally absorbed by the skin. I would say it made a difference: felt that my face was brighter and more hydrated. Suggest it to the dry skinners!  ORIGINS APRICOT MASK - DRINK UP IN TEN M
