Vichy

 Lifactiv Serum 10 Supreme

As we age skin recovers slower from daily aggression, for this reason signs of ageing can become more visible and start to settle in the skin. Skin can also loose firmness and therefore wrinkles can also appear. Lifactive Serum 10 Supreme is here to help in targeting the 10 signs of ageing while also accelerating skin cell renewal. The unique formula is enriched with 10% Rhamnose and Hyaluronic Acid. The ten signs of ageing such as : wrinkles, loss of firmness, uneven complexion, dullness, fine lines, tired features, loss of tonicity, dehydrated skin, loss of plumpness, signs of fatique all appear improved as skin looks firmer, lifted and wrinkles look reduced.

This lighweight, hydrating serum has proven efficacy also on the appearance of pores and sagging while also boosting radiance.

Dermablend 3D Correction

This corrective foundation with salycilique acid and eperuline smoothes the skin's surface and minimises the appereance of imperfections. Its color pigments melt on the skin and as well as hiding imperfections it goes to unify the complexion. Forget heavey layering of products with Vichy 3D Correction you only need one application, to get a smoother and more even complexion without the mask effect.

The  Alliagel texture is light, fresh and very easy to apply. It penetrates rapidly on the skin leaving it feeling supple and comfortable.

Complexion looks even, smooth and matte for up to 16 hours.

L'Occitane Néroli and Orchidée Collection has some lovely new additions just in time for Spring!

One of my favourite L'Occitane line the"Collection de Grasse" Néroli and Orchidée expands its range just in time for Spring with three new products: a Bath Milk, a Lip Gloss and a Body Oil.

Néroli and Orchidée blends two precious essences for this "Collection de Grasse". A heart of radiant Neroli is blended with caressing white orchide absolute from Madagascar. Fruity burst of orange and heart notes of peach complete this sensuous bouquet.

It is really a wonderful fresh fragrance which is perfect for Spring. So I thought to myself with these lovely new additions, why not create a Néroli and Orchidée beauty ritual?

Let's celebrate the arrival of Spring!

I start my beauty routine with a relaxing bath, with the Néroli and Orchidée Bath Milk. I truly enjoy it as it not only hydrates and moisturizes but it also leaves my skin with a wonderful delicate and feminine scent. Then I love to apply the Néroli and Orchidée Body Oil. I love to switch my body lotion for a body oil come Spring/ Summer as I appreciate the fact that is light weight, it absorbs quickly and leaves skin with a beautiful shimmer and without being greasy at all.

And as a finish touch to my Néroli and Orchidée routine I apply the lip gloss which gives my lips a lovely pink sheer and I am ready to go!

Néroli and Orchidée Bath Milk

This wonderful bath milk will transform your bath into a milky pleasure which will delight the body and mind.

The Néroli essence and Madagascar white Orchid diffuse the alluring and mesmerising fragrange of Néroli and Orchidée.

This bath milk nourishes and softens the skin while leaving delicately fragranced.

Néroli and Orchidée Body Oil

This perfumed body oil is ultra lightweight and really nourishes and softens skin.

It absorbs really quickly while leaving a satin finish fragranced with an alluring and mesmerising scent of neroli and orchidée.

Néroli and Orchidée Lipgloss

This lipgloss brings your lips a fruity floral scent while coating them with a shimmering lovely rosy nude hue. Keep it in your handbag for quick touch-ups!

Will MAC ever stop to surprise us and create excitement? Well it doesn't look like it as once again they have managed to come up with yet another fantastic collaboration this time with British designer Charlotte Olympia.

The designer behind the iconic kitty flats and quirky accessories has created together with MAC this 21 piece make-up collection with true Old Hollywood glamour.

Charlotte Olympia is known for vintage aesthetic that embodies elegance and femininity with a hefty dollop of charm and now the unapologetically allure of Charlotte Olympia is captured in this retro-glam MAC collection.

The collection includes among others three matte lipstick in three classic shades of red, which will suit any skin tone, lip pencils, a deep brown liner, a mascara, three luxurious nail lacquers and some pretty swanky accessories and application tools such as an eyelash curler and a pretty fun make-up bag..and all of course with packaging to die-for!

Christophe Robin: at the forefront of the haircare industry for more than 15 years

Hair colourist Christophe Robin has been at the forefront of the hair care industry for more than 15 years. In 1999 he created his own line of hair product initially for his personal use, as he used to work with top models and therefore had to change their hair colour so often. For this reason he felt the need to develop an hair care range which moisturise, nourish and protect sensitive and fragile hair from the harmful effects of hair colouring.

Its products are developed only using natural ingredients such ad lavender, wheat-germ, lemon, camomile bluebell and blueberry and all the formulations are free from parabens and silicons.
Christophe Robin's products go from shampoos, conditioner, leave-in products, masks,  oils and balms.

In 1999 he launched its hair care range for coloured and sensitive hair then followed by its colour products, the rose range in 2011 and of one of its bestsellers in 2012 the Intense Regenerating Mask with Rare Prickly Pear Seed Oil which I tested.

He then went to launch the Cleansing Purifying Scrub with Sea Salt in 2013 and the Intense Regenerating Balm with Rare Prickly Seed Oil in 2014.

In 2015 Christophe Robin launched the Finish Lotion range all around the ancient cosmetics benefits brought by vinegar. The collection includes: a regenerating lotion with pure hibiscus vinegar, a puriying lotion with sage vinegar and a bright blonde lotion with fruit vinegar.  I of course tested the finish lotion for blonde hair.

Christophe Robin Brightening Hair Finish Lotion with Fruit Vinegar

This hair finishin lotion developped for blond hair, revives brightness and prevents your colour to become dull. It is enriched with fruit vinegar and gives blonde hair more resistance as well as giving more body to the hair.

The Hair Finish Lotion is also claryfying as it helps to remove residues left on the hair such as limestone, oil bul up, soap etc to bring enormous shine and lightness to blonde hair. I also can say that it makes styling hair easier as it detangling easier while leaving a beautiful delicate scent on hair. Just spray a small quantity from root to tip on soaking wet hair before towel drying. It can also be used to refresh hair between washes, just rub a small amount on hair's lenghts.

This Brightening Hair Finish Lotion is suited for light blond to blond shades both natural and coloured.

Regenerating Mask with rare prickly pear seed oil

Christophe Robin selected 3 natural ingredients that complement one of another to create this hair mask which results in deep and lasting rejuvenation.

Prickly Pear Seed Oil, a precious natural remedy which has a high concentration of antioxidants, moisturizers and repairing agents.

A plant ceramide which deeply restructure hair, making it stronger and shinier and Inula Flower which protects, illuminates and revives hair.

This mask has a creamy formula it is easily absorbed, and repairs hair deep down, therefore making it ideal for the care of dry hair. This mask not only repairs and protects hair but it also helps prevents future breakages. It leaves hair silky soft, smooth and shiny and I found it also reduces the detangling/ styling time as I feel it doesn't get knotted as it normally would.
