L'Occitane new range Feito No Brasil

During his journey through Brazil , Oliver Baussan, founder of L'Occitane filled page after page of souvenirs notes, list of ingredients, name of artists, of painters.. And the L' Occitane au Brésil project began to take shape.
Feito no Brasil - Made in Brazil with  sun, fragrance and body care lines where each product is associated with three Brazilian elements: biogeographical region, ingredient and artist.

L'Occitane has been collecting plants and active ingredients, ever since the brand was born. In Brazil L'Occitane has found two new ingredients:
- JENIPAPO a fruit tree from the Cerrado that seeks the sun and soaks up its energy.
- VITORIA REGIA an Amazonian flower that falls asleep at dawn and blooms when night falls



VITORIA REGIA

Vitória Régia is a line of fragrant products that evokes two phases of a giant water lily.
Two new fragrances were inspired by the different facets of this flower:
Vitória Regia Day Flower and Vitória Regia night flower.

H&M Conscious Collection

April 10th together with the Conscious Exclusive collection will see the release of H&M Conscious Collection for women, men and kids the more mainstream line available in most H&M stores.
The pieces are also made with sustainable materials such as organic cotton, Tencel and recycled materials.
The collection is beautiful and the pieces can both be worn on their own or mixed together.
With bright colours such as coral red, gold and orange making a nice contrast when mixed with black silky-feel like trousers.
The prices of the items part of this collection are in line with H&M usual price range so in my opinion both quality and price are great! I can' t wait for April 10th! 
















VICHY Teint Idéal Illuminating Foundation

Vichy new Teint Idéal Illuminating foundation is the right choice towards a perfect complexion and is a truly innovative product!
This Illuminating foundation with Thin Radiance technology and corrective complex (vitamin c and e) corrects streamlines, illuminates  and restores the skin for over 14 hrs day after day.
Vichy Teint Idéal foundation is available as fluid foundation for normal to mixted skin and as a cream foundation for dry skin.
Both types of Téint Idéal foundations are suited for sensitive skins and are enriched with Vichy thermal water.
The fluid foundation comes in a glass tube with a pump and the cream one in a 30 ml tube.
They both come in five shades and for my complexion I picked the cream one in no.25 Sand.
I have to confess like some of you may already know, I don't usually like or wear foundations but I have to say I like this a lot!
It feels great on my skin, feels really lightweight and gives a light to medium coverage. I felt my skin felt smooth and luminous looking and the effects seemed to last all day!
