Darphin, professional skin care line, based on plants and essential oils, is clearly one of the best skin care brands that I know and that I use on a daily basis.

The product I prefer so far is the blemish clearing gel, that really helps to stop and heal the blemishes.  You only need to apply a small amount on the blemishes after cleaning your skin. The scent of the gel is strong yet enjoyable. It dries your spot and make your blemish disappear very fast. It’s a very efficient product!

Uriage uses a water of exception: the thermal water, famous for tis healing properties and for its therapeutic virtues. Now, Uriage offers a wide range of skin care adapted to all types of skin.

I have used Uriage Aqua Precis  face creams for about 2 years now. I just love them! The texture is really soft, it penetrates very well under the skin. After applying the cream, you feel clean and fresh. I actually have 2 versions of the cream: the crème confort and the crème fraicheur. The crème confort is more dense, the cream is slightly less liquid. I use the crème confort in winter and the crème fraicheur in summer.

Since I was a little girl, I had dry skin problems. With these creams, my skin is perfectly moisturized.

Thank you Uriage for treating my skin so well!

~ HAND CARE ~ Cuticle butter Lemony Flutter, LUSH

     

Brand: Lush
Product: Cuticle Butter Lemon Flutter
Benefits: Makes your cuticles disappear!!!
Price: Approx 10 euros
Where to buy: drugstores, department stores, Lush stores

As I was mentioning in my previous post, I love Essie nail polish. However, to make sure that my nails are perfectly done, I am using the cuticle butter Lemony Flutter from Lush. This cream is super thick and rich and will make your cuticles disappear. I apply a very very very small amount of the cream on my cuticles, I massage a little bit my nails and the cuticles just go away! The texture of the cream is really soft.

The packaging is interesting, I like the fact that they remind you what’s the purpose of the cream. You will keep this cream for ages, because you only need to use a super small amount of cream to take care of your cuticles.

I am not a big fan of the smell (in my opinion, it smells like a bad lemon pie) but I am definitely keen on that cuticle cream! Really efficient and low price! To put in everyone’s hands!

 

 

~ MAKE UP ~ Nail Polish, ESSIE

Brand: Essie
Product: Nail Polish
Benefits: Long lasting nail polish, with trendy colors
Price range: Approx 12 euros
Where to buy: drugstores, department stores, salons, spas…  

I already talked about nail polish and said all the benefits of Mavala. However, I really want to write about another great brand: Essie. Both are selling excellent quality nail polish, but I would say that Mavala is more sophisticated, and Essie more young and fun.

Essie has been making magic for our nails since 1981. After receiving many awards (from Allure, Cosmo girl magazine…), Essie continues to offer us a great range of color for our nails. Essie Weingarten, president and founder of Essie Cosmetics Ltd,  has a talent to choose the right colors for nail polish.

The latest collection :

I just love Essie nail polish. Their brush is really large so it’s super easy to use and apply on your nails. It lasts a week without any problems and does not ruin your nails.

Every time I see an Essie nail polish stand, I stay 20 minutes in front of all the colors… so many options! I already have Trophy Wife, Lilacism and Need a vacation and I am planning of buying a lot more!  The next one will be Avenue Maintain!

 

 

 



~ SKIN CARE ~ Sebo Regulating Moisturizer – Effaclar Mat, LA ROCHE-POSAY

Brand: La Roche-Posay
Product: Sebo Regulating Moisturizer – Effaclar Mat
Benefits: Mattifies and moisturizes your skin, anti shine and anti enlarged pores, sebum production slows down
Price range: Approx 15 euros
Where to buy: pharmacies and parapharmacies

 

 

Yesterday, I finally bought a « matifying » cream. Having a oily/dry skin, I always struggle to have a clear skin. My T zone is always oily and shinny, but the rest is super dry.

So, I went shopping! I hesitated between Nuxe, Clarins, Avène, Bioderma… I decided to buy the one of La Roche Posay and I am glad of the results. First because I know the brand and I trust their products, and second because of the low price.

The cream is really fluid, it smells amazing, almost like raspberries, and the most important part: it works!!! You don’t need to wait to use it for 2 weeks to finally see the results. I used it yesterday after buying it, and the result is phenomenal. The oily parts of your face are perfectly mattified, and the dry parts are perfectly moisturized.

Just apply on your clean face every morning and every night.

Perfect product for oily/combination skins in need of control sebum production and a good moisturizer!

My grandmother has been selling Mavala Nail Polish for ever. Her clients (and myself) are addicted to this brand.  Mavala is one of the leaders on the market for nail care solutions. This iconic little bottle of 5ml of nail polish is known all around the world. First because this nail polish does not dry before you reach the bottom. Then, for its wide range of color (more than 100 different colors).  

At the moment, everyone is crazy about nail polish and nail art. So I just wanted to remind you that Mavala is the brand to buy if you want a good quality / long lasting / affordable nail polish!
