There is no greater feeling that the one of being in love : being in love with your soulmate, being in love with your parents, or daughters, sons, or any other family members, being in love with your best friends that love you for all that you are, there is a great love we share with our pets and all that surrounds us.

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.

Protesud deodorant antiperspirant cream - review

This review is long overdue. I had had this Protesud deodorant antiperspirant cream for a long time but since I had many deodorants already in use I had to wait to finish them all. And I did and I am currently using this deodorant cream for more than a week so it's time I share my thoughts about it with you.

IDC Institute Jasmine & Magnolia Body butter - review

This body butter was finished and since my empties box was threatening to burst, I decided to publish my review and finally get ready the last empties post for this year. It was high time! I had posponed this post for too long.. Back to the subject of this post : it is IDC Institute Jasmine & Magnolia Body butter (IDC Institute is a Spanish brand with headquarters in Barcelona).

Share the love this Christmas with Optimashop

For me Christmas is all about giving, sharing the love and precious moments with your family and loved ones, giving the best of you to the others around you, giving presents more than receiving them.

I love this Christmas period because it fells like no other, it has its special sort of magic. In this period everyone is a better person than it usually is around the year, we strive to help more the ones in need, to smile more, to share a kind gesture or a word of comfort with the others and more.

And yes, we can show with words and gestures the love we have for our special ones, but we also can show them we care by giving them magic presents. And the shopping madness has already begun in the stores. Personally, I really appreciate when a brand comes to the resque and makes the gift-shopping a litle easier by creating special gift packages. Here are the gift sets Optimashop has prepared for us this season :

Gerovital H3 Natural Antiperspirant Deodorant - review

I have finished another deodorant I have used in tandem with my B.U. My Secret deodorant. I  always prefer the spray deodorants, I don't really like roll-on deodorants due to their liquid, sticky texture. Since I have finished it and it will go to the empties box (a large one filled with products, I can't bear myself to photo it..) I thought I would tell you my thoughts on it. It is Gerovital H3 Natural Antiperspirant Deodorant.

M by Mariah Carey moisturizing body lotion - review

I have had this body lotion for around a year, bought from abroad. It is the body lotion that accompanies the M fragrance by Mariah Carey (the first perfume she released, if you want to smell it, you can find it in DM). I also own the fragrance and I like it, sweet, powerful, elegant, feminine and most importantly lasts on me all day long ! So I also bought the body lotion to go with it.

A new beauty and fashion destination : Debenhams Plaza Romania

My lovely readers I have great news for you today : another Debenhams store has opened its doors in Plaza Romania mall. Oh how happy I am! As I have told you before I am a fan of British brands and stores since my visits to London in 2008 and 2009. And I have long wished for many brands to come to Romania, some did, some didn't. I am still waiting.. I have previously told you about the opening of its first store in Vitan Mall. And now I'm back to show you the store in Plaza Romania Mall.

L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil (refill) - review

Another product I have finished and I'm heartbroken to let go. It is by far one of the best shower oils I have ever tried. One of the cult products of the L'Occitane brand, well loved and very expensive. You guessed : it is L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil (refill). I bought it a while ago at an offer : if I bought the normal full size of one shower gel and the refill in any other showel gels, the amount paid was cheaper than in the full size. Of course I bought my beloved Verbena Shower Gel in full size (I adore it, it's perfect for the hot summer days - review soon) and I bought the L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil in refill to try. I was curious to see what was the hype about and if indeed it was worth the money. 

Celebrate Christmas with Yves Rocher every year

Christmas has come earlier this year for me. I have had the pleasure of seeing today the Christmas limited collections from Yves Rocher. What can I say ? I want them all! They smell wonderful and look great! You know there is always a scent that immediately puts you in a good mood and makes you feel festive. This year it's all about Yves Rocher. You can easily gift your loved ones or even pamper yourself a little early with Yves Rocher.

What has Santa Sephora brought for Christmas 2015 - Sephora edition

This year Sephora has been inspired for its Sephora "Let it snow" Christmas 2015 collection from the never-ending, mysterious and ever-fascinating outer space. The collection shines brightly as the far away stars in the distant corners of the universe, waiting patiently to be discovered. The icy surface of the stars beacon us closer and closer, so cold and so distant and untouchable..

There are many great products to be discovered in stores, gorgeous make-up kits, bath and body care, gift sets of all sizes and prices. It is impossible to go into a Sephora shop and leave empty handed. At least for me. Below is only a small selection of the products you can already find in stores, so go and let yourself be inspired ! Christmas is about receiving but most importantly it's all about giving ! Sharing precious moments with your loved ones and giving the best of you. "Let it snow, let it snow" with Sephora.

Optimashop.ro - the site to go for all your skin needs

Today's post is dedicated to Optimashop.ro whose many products I discovered at the launch event of its newest products and ranges. I had written about the SVR  and some of its products before : SVR Spirial, svr-spirial-anti-perspirant-deodorant-roll-on, svr-hydraliane  and svr-hydraliane-bb-in-light. The majority of the products you can find on this site are specific products designed for various skin problems such as acnee, psoriazis, head lice, burns and many more.

I am very glad to know that if I encounter a specific skin problem I can certainly find a solution at Optimashop.ro. Of course for very specific skin problems it is recommended to ask specialized help therefore go to see the dermatologist!
