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.

I have been working too much!!

Sorry guys, I havent posted any article recently, I have been working lots of hours. I have a few things ready that I will upload soon. I hope everyone is doing great and I wish you all an Happy New Year!!!

Sephora scented body scrub, shampoo, body butter, hand wash, perfume, in lemon meringue and a plastic bath tub

I went crazy on these little goodies! Sephora has tons of other scents and I sure smelled them all and literally loved that one. The other ones they have I could find similar smells at the drugstore, but that one is kinda unique. It truly smells like a lemon meringue pie. Its so yummy! If you buy for 25 euros/dollars of products they give you a bath tub to put the products in it. The only cons I found is that the lemon smell dissapear after a while and leaves more of a vanilla smell. The little perfume also doesn't have any lasting power. Now the body scrub, shampoo and hand wash are great products.

NYX round lipglosses in 22 Natural and 15 Baby Pink

Left to right: Natural; Baby Pink. These lipglosses are ok, I like Natural which truly looks natural, a muted pink-red color. Baby pink is a very light, kinda frosted pink, that can brighten and enhance any dark lipsticks. Both can also be worn alone, as they are pretty opaque. Like I said before, I hate their packaging because some of the product comes out when being closed and always need to be wiped off...

MAC mineralize (MSF) blush in Hand finish and Dainty ; and powder blush in Pink Swoon

From left to right: Hand finish; Dainty; Pink swoon. I love these blushes! Hand finish is a MSF blush from the Color Craft collection, a beautiful sheer pastel pink that I use has a highlighter, between and above my eyebrows, under and above my lips. Dainty is a beautiful peachy pink. Pink swoon is a bright but buildable pink.
