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..

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.

Nivea anti-wrinkle range - the wrinkles' worst enemy

In the hottest days of summer the skin gets very dehydrated by the sun and hot temperatures and loses its moisturization, the main cause for the appearance of wrinkles. Therefore we must hydrate even more the skin and use anti-wrinkle products that can provide the suitable care for the skin. Nivea has recently launched a new anti-wrinkle care range with Grape Seed Oil and vitamin E.

SVR Hydraliane - hydration to the max in all seasons

I love summer, I really do, except for the scorching heat that never stops! I can't stand much on my skin, except for very light textures. I drink plenty of water and try to hydrate and protect my skin from the sun and heat as much as I can. I really appreciate the brands that have a wider range of products with different textures for all seasons and needs.
    
SVR has read my mind apparently lanching a new line - SVR Hydraliane - to help me hydrate my skin even in the worst heat! Over 50 years of work and research, this is SVR, the renowned French dermato-cosmetics brand. The newest range SVR Hydraliane brings the hydration to a new level.

Going on holiday ? Not without Ivatherm holiday kits

You know I love to travel, to see new places, to meet new people and to experience different cultures. I often have a limited space in my luggage for cosmetics so I always have problems taking products in full size. Recently I have started to collect mini sized products in case I need them in my travels.
   
These days more and more brands have started to release mini sized products to help us with our holiday packing.

Nivea face care - look update to protect the environment

You know I love Nivea. I always have a Nivea creme in my home, for every emergency. It's good and cheap and it smells like home. I love it! And yes, our story with Nivea goes a long way: my grandmother had this Nivea creme in her youth (I love the vintage metal recipient! I'll definitely keep it and cherish it) - I happened to find it by chance; I am very glad I did!

My current winter skin and body care routine

I wanted to write this post for quite a while but I couldn't find the right time. Tonight I decided to finally write it and hopefully help you with your winter care.

First of all, my routine is not fixed: I can add things or take out things according to the needs of my skin. Listen to your body, it is the best indicator to what you need! Don't apply blindly all that you read in the magazines or was recommended to you! It is your face, your body and you deserve the right things for your needs!

In the winter time I have two important directions: extra moisturization and protection from extreme weather conditions/temperatures and the sun.

    MY FACE CARE :

In the evening I ALWAYS remove my make-up, no matter how exausted I am ! Girls NEVER sleep with your make-up on! It is very damaging to your skin, if you are tired at least remove your make-up with make-up removal wipes! Afterwards I cleanse my skin with a non-perfumed gentle cleanser, then I proceed with the moisturization.

Mario Badescu Honey Moisturizer - review

Today I will talk to you about a cream I almost hit pan on. It is Mario Badescu Honey Moisturizer.
.........................
Mario Badescu was a Romanian-born skin care specialist with a bold vision. Being both a chemist and a cosmetologist, Mario had a very unique perspective about skin care, appreciating both the chemical nature and complexities of the skin, as well as the desire and innate satisfaction and confidence that healthy, clean, radiant skin can give a person. 

Mario opened his salon in New York City in 1967 and began to develop his signature skin care product line. The effectiveness of these products and his unparalleled European-style facials did not remain a secret --- before long, Mario was rubbing shoulders with the most famous actors, actresses, and celebrities of his day, as they looked to his products and salon as New York City's very own fountain of youth.

Mario Badescu spent many years doing research in his laboratory and testing his innovative products in his salon, and the result of his hard work can still be seen today. The botanically-based skin care line remains as Mario crafted it so many years ago, expertly designed to keep your skin luscious and beautiful. The company is still offering the same personal, customized skin care treatments that were Mario's patent offerings.      source:  mariobadescu.com

Gentle AHA and Vitamin moisturizer is greaseless and absorbent, and is suitable for almost all skin types. Botanical ingredients like antioxidant Peanut Oil, Orange, and Honey Extracts make this product nourishing and moisturizing, leaving skin soft and smooth.
