Sabon Dead Sea collection, first impressions

Hello my lovely readers today I'm back with my first impressions on the newly launched Sabon Dead Sea collection. I was present at its official launch and I was most thrilled to see it live and try it at my heart's content. I had written about the Dead Sea collection before and I really liked its sophisticated packaging but I didn't know its scent, consistency, texture and so on..

Bioderma and the make up removal lesson

A loud classroom at the Happy Skin School is awaiting the teacher. They are speaking loudly and moving endlessly across the room. The bell rings and rings and gradually the children take their seats in the classroom. Teacher M enters the class.
'Good morning children'. 'Good morning teacher'. 'Today's lesson is about make-up removal, or how to have a happy, healthy skin'.

My freezing temperatures make-up and body care routine

As I promised, today I'm back with the second part of my go-to products for use in freezing temperatures. The previous post was dedicated to face care (make-up removal, face creams, face masks, SPF and lip care), today's post will be dedicated to my body care routine and my make-up essentials in the winter time.

Paula's Choice launches its new Calm skincare collection

My lovely readers today I have great news for you : Paula's Choice has just launched a new skincare range Calm for sensitive, intolerant skin to relieve irritations or redness (it's perfect for these very low temperatures when our skin is affected by the biting cold). All the products in this range are created with the latest generation formulas that have no perfume, irritants or colorants. The ingredients in these formulas were especially selected to relieve irritation or redness of the skin such as antioxidants, repairing ingredients and anti-irritants.

My freezing temperatures face care routine

It is winter here in Bucharest, freezing temperatures, high snow, weather forecasts predicting even more snow and low temperatures. Until about one week ago the winter was mild and warm. Now it has arrived with a bang! The temperatures are -20,-15 or less at night and -10 or less at day. And my skin is not taking it well. It has become dehydrated, dry, brittle and I got out of my stash the heavy guns : the products which are the most moisturizing and thick and creamy and comforting. So I decided to share them with you. Today's post is all about the face care routine (make-up removal, face hydration, face masks and make-up products). I'll be back with another post on the body care for these freezing temperatures. Let's begin!

S Coffee - a great way to start the day

“No matter what historians claimed, BC really stood for "Before Coffee.” Cherise Sinclair, Master of the Mountain. Yes, all modern living cannot happen without coffee. At least in my case. I don't feel fully awake before my morning coffee. And I also love the Me time my morning coffee provides. It is a ritual of my own, a small daily pleasure I indulge in before facing the challenges of the day. And if it is about sharing the moment with friends the enjoyment will be even greater. So when I received the invitation to do an S coffee sampling with several other bloggers I love, of course I said yes!

Pandora Valentine's Collection 2016 - a declaration of love

Another new year, another new gorgeous collection from Pandora. I posted earlier the Christmas 2015 collection and oh how much I love it! Well if I think about it I love all Pandora collections past and present. I haven't met one I didn't like. And that's bad news, for my wallet. Of course I had to show the new Valentine's collection to you. It is already available in stores and online so check it out!

Golden Peach make-up look

I'm back my lovely readers with a new make-up look; today the weather got cloudy and rainy so I thought a nice make-up look will make everything better. This time I did a Golden Peach make-up look with the help of the MustaeV Color Powder in Moonlight Champagne and the MustaeV Glazing Lip Gloss in Golden Peach over the shade of lipstick I wore. I love both of them dearly! (I have thought about showing you some of my daily make-up looks and the products I use for a long time and it has proved difficult for me so far since I often don't have time to photo the products and the make-up look. But I'll try my best ; I want to show you the products in the make-up look, on the face not only in swatches, writing about them.) Let's begin :

MustaeV Cheeky Chic blush in Floral Glow - review

I think one of the best investments make-up wise for a beautiful look besides a good base is a great blush. I believe that a good blush suitable for your skin and hair color works wonders! It revives a tired complexion, makes you look good even if you are sick and makes you look younger and fresh if applied sparingly for a natural effect. There are universal blush colours that suit most complexions and work for all seasons. One of these is certainly a good pink. Today's post stars a blush that has entered quickly in my make-up favourites. It is MustaeV Cheeky Chic blush in Floral Glow.

Longing for the summer - Ming Shu Fleur de l'Aube

Today's post in a trip in the past, the perfume it features is one of the oldies and goodies (it's no longer available, maybe on Ebay). It is a perfume I own for many years, I use it sparingly since I love it very much and I am trying to keep it with me a little longer. It is Yves Rocher Ming Shu Fleur de l'Aube. When I wear it I feel the summer breeze, the sunshine, I feel free and happy, feminine and elegant, ready to take on the world.

Pamper yourself at home with Sabon Dead Sea collection

You know I am a Sabon fanatic. I adore their shower oils, their body creams, the perfumes, I didn't meet a product I didn't like yet. And the packaging is gorgeous, elegant, antique, old school, timeless. Perfect for pampering yourself or gift your loved ones.

Today I have great news for you : Sabon has just launched its newest collection : Dead Sea to help you achieve a perfect, beautiful skin. The collection is inspired by the gorgeous desert scenery and healing properties of the Dead Sea. Its main ingredients are Dead Sea water, salt, black mud and plants from the surrounding areas.

New In - December 2015

I have postponed this post for lack of time to photo the products but I have had them since December so I thought I would show them to you. They all will be reviewed on the blog (some of them already are, I didn't have the patience to wait). There are mostly make-up products with some body and bath items in between. Here they are :

Estee Lauder Color Edit holiday set

As I told you in a previous post estee-lauder-modern-muse-le-rouge  I recevied from my Santa the Estee Lauder Color Edit holiday set (I've unboxed it on Periscope, the video is here : katch.me/adrianatone/esteelaudercoloureditset). If I bought a perfume or a perfume set, I would receive the set at a very convenient price. So I decided to  buy a set of 4 mini size perfumes by Estee Lauder : Beautiful, Pleasures, Modern Muse and Modern Muse Le Rouge (my Santa didn't want to receive the money for the set, giving it to me as a gift).

Many of the products in the set are limited edition but I saw a similar set here in Romania at Debehams beauty therefore I thought I would show my set to you and write my first impressions on some of the products (there will be reviews for all the products in the set on the blog) to help you decide should you want to buy the Romanian version.

Pink Sparkle make-up look

Hello my sweet readers I'm back today with a new make-up look; I took advantage of this great winter sunny day, after days and days of bad weather. Today I felt in the mood for a touch of glamour so I decided to wear one of my newest glitter pigments on my stash MustaeV Color Powder in Starlight Pink and create my make-up look around it.

I have thought about showing you some of my daily make-up looks and the products I use for a long time and it has proved difficult for me so far since I often don't have time to photo the products and the make-up look. But I'll try my best ; I want to show you the products in the make-up look, on the face not only in swatches, writing about them. So I'm back again with a make-up look, this time it's the Pink Sparkle make-up look (I love my pinks! they put me in a good mood).

New from Paula's Choice : Resist Skin Firming Line Minimizer

Ladies today I have great news for you : Paula's Choice has launched another new product - the Resist Skin Firming Line Minimizer. It is a lightweight textured, water-based silky treatment. It’s designed to improve the look of wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, including the smile lines that begin at the sides of the nose and curve around the sides of the mouth.

Elmiplant Skin Moisture CC Cream in Light - review

I have received questions about this CC cream I have had for quite a while so I decided that a review is in order. I really like Elmiplant products I had face creams and make-up removal products and I got along well with them. Today's post is about Elmiplant Skin Moisture CC Cream.

New Trends in Beauty 2016

As per usual, at the beginning of this new year I tried to gather the most interesting new trends in beauty. Some of them are old, some of them are new. But all of them are really interesting and I'm looking forward to see what this 2016 will bring.

Sephora Instant Nail Polish Remover For Glitter - review

I am not really a nail polish addict, you may have noticed that on the blog , the nail polishes are few and far between but I like to wear nail polishes. On my nails they don't last long. What I really, really hate is chipped nail polish, so whenever I see one nail chipped I remove all of them.

Until now, I had the tendency to shy away from glitter nail polishes due to the pain of removing them. Well, after I bought the Sephora Instant Nail Polish Remover For Glitter, this ceased to be a problem. Why haven't I tried this before ??

Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge - dare to inspire

This past Christmas I was very good so my Santa brought me an Estee lauder set (I've unboxed it on Periscope, the video is here : katch.me/adrianatone/esteelaudercoloureditset). If I bought a perfume or a perfume set, I would receive the set at a convenient price. So I decided to  buy a set of 4 mini size perfumes by Estee Lauder : Beautiful, Pleasures, Modern Muse and Modern Muse Le Rouge. So far, I love the most Modern Muse Le Rouge and that's why it is the subject of my post today.
