Yesterday I posted the highlights of Cosmobeauty 2015  and I promised you I would show you what goodies I bought. The plan was simple : I needed a good face powder and I wanted to try one from Paese, the rest was optional, I thought I'd have a look at Inglot and Mekior. Bad mistake! Of course I went overbudget!

Sleeping beauty ? Now it's real with The Body Shop Drops Of Youth Bouncy Sleep Mask

As I told you before in a a-new-trend-in-make-up-for-2015-cushion-post , Asia inspires a new trend for 'bouncy' beauty in make-up and also face and probably body care. It is not about your conventional make-up, face creams and lotions it's all about buying and wearing bouncy cushions, sponges and pillows. In make-up Lancôme launched the Miracle Cushion foundation - its first liquid foundation encapsulated in a cushion.

In face care The Body Shop has launched a new innovative product : the Drops Of Youth Bouncy Sleep Mask - a new spring-like gel mask.

    
Discover our new Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask, enriched with Edelweiss stem cells. Designed to be left on overnight, it leaves skin looking bouncier and feeling replenished. The bouncy also refers to the texture. It’s a sort of cream-gel texture, quite unusual in a face mask. It has :

• Youth-enhancing formula for bouncier-looking skin
• Unique bouncy, memory shape texture
• With Edelweiss stem cells

Why Edelweiss?  Well, this hardy flower thrives in the harshest conditions high in the Alps. The Body Shop scientists carefully and sustainably extract the Edelweiss stem cells, harnessing their powerful resilience, to deliver potent skin cell renewing properties.

Glamglow YOUTHMUD TINGLEXFOLIATE TREATMENT mask - review

I love to try face masks, not matter if they are sheet-like or in a jar, mud based or with other unpleasant ingredients. If they make me look good, I would sacrifice myself and use them. I have heard of course about the cult mask Glamglow Youthmud Tinglexfoliate.

I managed to get my hand on a sample size one from a beauty bloggers swap and try it. Since it was so expensive I wanted to know if it would suit my skin before buying the full-size one. The sample I got lasted me for 3 trials, enough to make me buy the mini one of 15gr to test it further. So on a lovely Saturday I started the testing of the mask. My mask size is the mini 15gr one and it has a valability of 9 months.

Himalaya Herbals purifying neem mask - review

You know I love face masks, both to clean the face and to nourish it. I also love trying new face masks all the time. So when I received a sample of two masks from Himalaya Herbals, a brand I haven't tried before, I was really happy. I have combination skin, oily on the T zone and drier on the cheeks and mouth area. I happened to receive just the right mask for me : the Himalaya Herbals purifying neem mask.
But firstly something about the brand :
.......................
Eighty one years ago, on a visit to Burma, Himalaya's founder, Mr. M. Manal, saw restless elephants being fed with a root to pacify them. The plant from which this was taken is Rauwolfia serpentina. Fascinated by the plant's effect on elephants, he had it scientifically evaluated. After extensive research, Serpina, the world's first anti-hypertensive drug, was launched in 1934.

1930 - Mr. M. Manal forms The Himalaya Drug Company. His vision: Put ayurveda on par with modern medicine.
1955 - Liv.52, a hepatoprotective, is launched and goes on to become one of the world's top-selling drugs.
2009 - Introduction of Organique by Himalaya, a range of personal care products formulated with organic herbs and oils.
2010 - Liv.52 HB, the world’s first herbal drug for the effective management of Hepatitis B, is introduced.
This legacy of researching nature forms the foundation of Himalaya's operations. Himalaya uses the tools of modern science to create pharmaceutical-grade ayurvedic products. The company has pioneered research that has converted Ayurveda's herbal tradition into a complete range of proprietary formulations dedicated to healthy living and longevity. Today, these products have found acceptance with medical fraternities and serve the health and personal care needs of consumers in 90 countries.     source : himalayaherbals.com

Let's go back to the mask - I received a sample size one, with 2 sachets of 7.5 ml (the full size mask is 75 ml - 16.50 ron). It has a valability of 6 months.

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.

A reliable helper in the winter time : Gerovital H3 Derma+ Soothing and Regenerating Mask-cream

I have combination skin: it tends to be oily in the T zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dry in the cheek and mouth area. So I tend to fight the oilyness with specific products and double the moisturization onto the entire face, especially in the cheek and mouth areas. In the winter time my skin tends to get more dehydrated all over, so besides the creams and serums I treat this issue with masks once or twice a week, depending on the condition of my skin.

When I went to the Beauty bloggers meeting by Beautybarometer   I received a few products from the new range Gerovital H3 Derma+ to test : the Soothing and Regenerating Mask-cream, the Cleansing and Make-up removal fluid face and eyes (which is already one third used, review very soon) and the Shampoo for Sensitive scalp (which is waiting in line to be used after my current shampoo). But first something about the FARMEC brand:
...........................

Started more than 120 years ago, FARMEC activity is well-known nowadays, both in Romania and worldwide, our company’s products being exported in countries from Europe, Asia and North America.

The company’s modern history begins in 1967, when FARMEC became the first manufacturer of Gerovital H3 prof. Dr. Ana Aslan creams and emulsions in Romania. The products were addressed to women in their 40s, when the skin shows the first signs of ageing. Today FARMEC produces over 400 cosmetic products, covering a large range of usage.

The originality and quality of FARMEC products was officially recognised in 2002 when the company was granted the International Quality Certificate ISO 9001:2008.

The active principles that they use mainly come from nature: nourishing fruits rich in vitamins, not only tasty but also good for the beauty, autochthonous medicinal plants that you thought you would find only in teas but which regenerate your skin and hair, clay from the mountains which would have been only dirt if we hadn’t found out what miracles it can do. Last generation ingredients are added to all these, tested and combined by specialists so that you receive the best for your beauty and health.

The care for beauty and the respect towards tradition, health and environment, completed by the continuous research, originality and attention to its clients have turned FARMEC into a highly esteemed producer over the years. Nowadays, the company’s portfolio sums up hundreds of products, the most famous ranges of products being GEROVITAL H3 prof. dr. Ana Aslan, GEROVITAL H3 EVOLUTION, GEROVITAL PLANT, ASLAVITAL, FARMEC, ASLAMED, DOINA, ATHOS and OBSESIE.
