Amazing Grace, by Philosophy


Here's my all time favorite scent. I discovered this line when traveling in London many years ago without even knowing that it was famous. I found it again while living in the United States as it was still unknown in France. It is now available at the Sephora that is located in Paris on the Champs Elysées. The scent is just as its name, amazing. Its pure, fresh and clean. It smells like a soft bouquet, or can even remind of a soft shampoo. Its perfect for day time. I wish the scent would last longer tho.. It cost like 45 Euros for 60 ml. The line includes a body emulsion, body butter, hand lotion and a bath, shampoo and shower gel.

Monoi de Tahiti



I have always been in love with Monoi, its such a great, natural moisturizer for skin and hair. The good thing is that is smells divine too! It can be applied on hair before shampoos or before going at the beach, as it protects the skin and hair from the salted water. It can also be applied after showers or in bath. I always purchase a few bottles every summer, and this time I got a coconut scented one. The line here "Les cosmetiques" is sold exclusively at a store named Carrefour, which is located all over France. The bottle cost around 5 Euros for 100 ml

StriVectin-SD



I found a set of 3 StriVectin products at Sephora, which includes an intensive concentrate for stretch marks and wrinkles, a tightening face serum and an eye concentrate for wrinkles. I had heard so many good things about this brand that I had to try it out! Well, first of all, its somewhat an expensive line. I have been using the products on and off and I found the serum to be the best of the 3, its light in texture and tend to smooth fine lines, but nothing revolutionary. As for the concentrate for stretch marks and wrinkles it hasnt done anything special to my face. The eye concentrate is ok, but again, nothing special. Overall, the products arent that bad, but they might work better on a drier or older skin.
