Hello Lovelies,
Hope you all are keeping well and gearing up for the holiday season. I have been sampling some products to add to my Christmas wish list. Yes that time of year has come again, when we needn't have any excuse to give ourselves presents and a little TLC.
Rummaging through the endless christmas sales on at the moment, and the never ending queues in stores. Off I went to sample my Christmas wish list. My favourites so far are unending. But I painstakingly narrowed it all down for you not to get all muddled up in my Christmas wish 'BOOK'.... (much longer than a list) Fiasco.
I recently came across The SAI-SEI Mineral Deep Moisture Body Cream. It appears very hydrating but not gloppy at all. From my research, it contains amazing ingredients especially for this time of year. It contains essential minerals from Japan's hot spring (Onsen), Uji Green Tea, Rice bran (to keep skin beautifully soft) and a whole lot more. ..... Probably best not to have a chemistry class on this product......;)
But yes... It is that amazing!
On to Fragrance....I have also had my eye on the amazing ( personal taste applies of course) Aqua Di Parma's Iris Nobile Eau de Toilette. As the name obviously suggests, It is based around the beautifully fragrant Iris flower which I love. It isn't heady or too strong, neither is it too sweet. For me, it has the right balance of what that signature perfume should be. The one bottle you reach for over and over again. So yes, It is at the top of my list and I can see it being a repeat through the years.
Another must have this winter (and all year round) is the famous Eve Lom Kiss Mix Lip Balm. This is a cult product for a lot of us that experience incredibly chapped, dry flaking lips during winter... (OK: A little disclaimer... I don't suffer from all of the above at a time OK, maybe I do......and if you do, it is absolutely FINE! Join the Lip savers club with this Balm, I have )
This protects from UV rays and keeps lips very moisturised not sticky. I often apply it as a lipstick base onto clients' lips, whilst applying foundation, giving it time to sink in before going in with lip colour. Which can often be drying without a good base prior.
My next Item, which I have sworn by in my Kit for a little while now, is the By Terry Light Expert. The sheer simplicity of the product makes it very easy for me to carry around and it works wonders on mature skin too! It contains hyaluronic acid filling spheres, moisturising properties ,anti-ageing and antioxidant active ingredients.
(Believe me, I do not go to the labs with my note pad and chemistry laboratory glasses)
Put simply, ( Without another chemistry class popping up) it plumps up hollow areas, smoothes wrinkles and fine lines (not permanently, nothing does), and silicones cover the skin with a fine film keeping the effect of supple skin........ What more can you want from a foundation.
(P.S- Depending in the colour, it can double as an amazing highlighter) Fab!!!!
Finally, I tried for the first time today The Rodial Body Souffle' in Socialite. This is probably the best Body Souffle/cream/butter/ everything else that stands as body cream..... That I have tried in Years/ Ever! It is pure Luxury. Heaven on earth. Infused with pink champagne (yes real pink champagne) & Cassis, It is moisturising and rich but not sticky at all. Not heavy, that it just sits on the skin. It penetrates the skin giving intense hydration. And the scent.......Oh that scent.......Again all I can say is Well done Rodial! As always this brand delivers on quality every time.
I can picture all these heavenly goodies sitting on my vanity this Christmas, can you?
Love ,
Francine
