Haul again : Sephora, Sabon, L' Occitane en Provence, Anastasia Beverly Hills

It was a very fun and interesting experience!

Focus on ... Gerocossen + giveaway

Since I haven't updated the Focus on .. post in a while I decided now it is a good time to do it. The subject of today's post is our own Romanian brand Gerocossen. I'm sure it's a very familiar brand to many of us and unfortunately it is very hard to find in stores. What better time than now to find out more about them and their products and more importantly where to find them ?

Farmec Glycerin Hand Cream - one of the best hand creams I've tried !

Hands are so important for a woman : they nourish and take care of others, they protect, they cherish, they love. They are also very sensitive to external damage from the wind and the extreme temperatures. We need to keep them healthy, strong but also soft and perfumed. They are also tools for seduction and ambasadors for elegance. We treat them at the salons with manis and treatments but also with hand creams and masks.

The hand cream with glycerin from Farmec helps you take care of your hands, prevent dehydration and restore their good looks and smoothness.

Nivea Care - the WoW wonder cream

I think you know by now that I have combination skin : oilier on the T-zone and quite dry in the cheek and around the mouth area. It starts to get shiny after around 2 hours and I try to fight it using creams and make-up products especially for my type of skin.
 
This problem gets worse in the summer time : I simply cannot stand anything onto my face - the face cream feels greasy and the make-up starts to disturb me after a few hours so I use it very sparingly. The only thing I can stand onto the face is water so I go through face sprays with the speed of lightning.
  
But this doesn't solve my dryness problem; I cannot stay without a face cream and SPF protection.. so it's a struggle to find a very light cream texture that can moisturize and not feel greasy onto the skin.
 
WoW, I think I may have found the perfect summer cream : the Nivea Care wonder cream !

#Redescopera frumusetea / Rediscover beauty : mother - daughter beauty talk

As a celebration of Color Riche by L’Oréal Paris 30th anniversary, the brand has launched a beautiful challenge :  #Redescopera frumusetea / Rediscover beauty - a trip down the memory lane with our mothers in search of beauty.
  
What is beauty ? Nowadays people place great importance on the physical aspect, neglecting the beauty of the soul, which is more important, in my opinion. It doesn't matter if you are gorgeous on the outside if you are ugly on the inside. Beauty is temporary and in the end what remains is the inner beauty of the soul.
   
Beauty was not considered a must in my mother's youth but women who took care of themselves (had beautiful, elegant clothes, used creams and perfumes, had lipstick on and clean, long hair) were admired and revered. That shows the one must take care of himself at all times: beauty does not necessarily mean a perfect face and body; if you take care of your body and face, others will notice.

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.

Masticspa Mastic Hand Cream - review

Another winter, another hand cream in another bag ... Due to the cold temperatures I feel the need to moisturize continuously (especially my hands which are very sensitive to cold and wind). I have already one of my all time favourites L'Occitane en Provence 20% shea butter hand cream which I love but I need more.

I often feel the need to apply a hand cream and if I change my bag and I forget to switch all my contents into the new one I am left without a hand cream ...Oh no! What do I do now?? Well, I buy a new one of course! Fortunately I didn't have to do that - at Beautybarometer's beauty blogger meeting I received a new hand cream to try : Masticspa Mastic Hand Cream . Lucky me! A new hand cream to the resque! Let me  tell you something about the brand:
.................
Mastic Spa – the only cosmetic line based on mastic, a timeless and treasured Greek wonder ingredient that for centuries has provided those in the know with astonishing health and beauty benefits – has a comprehensive range of effective and unique natural beauty products.

Mastic Spa is a one of a kind company – a product of both tradition and the latest research. The key ingredient to every product made by Mastic Spa is mastic, a legendary substance in Greece, which has been celebrated for centuries.

Mastic is the legendary and mysterious elixir that seeps from the mastic tree, found in the southern region of the Greek Aegean island Chios, and nowhere else in the world.
Mastic has been known since Antiquity for its medicinal properties and for its therapeutic benefits for the skin. Thanks to modern scientific research, we now have a better understanding of how mastic works its magic.

Mastic Spa products range from the very first product and best seller Masticdent toothpaste to luxurious shampoos, fragrant and colorful bath and body treatments and effective facial skincare. Mastic has been scientifically proven to have strong anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. In combination with other natural ingredients, mastic oil provides superior cleansing, hydrates skin and hair, slows the effects of aging on the face, aids in the healing of burns and scars, and protects the teeth and gums.      source : http://oliveoilspa.com
.................
Let's go back to the hand cream. It comes in a plastic tube of 100 gr./3.38 oz. of product. It is a moisturizing hand cream. Rich with mastic oil and plant extract, this hand cream strengthens and protects the skin. The allantoin calms the skin, Vitamin B softens it and soothes irritation.

Oldie but goodie: L'Occitane en Provence 20% shea butter hand cream for dry skin

One of my favourite hand creams for the colder seasons is L'Occitane en Provence 20% shea butter hand cream for dry skin. In the colder seasons I like thicker body and hand creams with a plus of moisturization and protection against the cold temperatures and wind. But first something about the brand:

1990 - L’OCCITANE becomes a fragrance merchant, buying a barge to distribute its products, speading the aromas of the gardens of Provence.

2012 - L’OCCITANE now has over 2,000 stores all over the world.         source: loccitane.com
................................
I now have the mini 20% shea butter hand cream from my earlier journeys, but as soon as I finish it, I will buy the normal sized one. My mini comes in a 10 ml/ 0.3 oz recipient.

Enriched with 20% shea butter, this super-creamy hand cream penetrates quickly to protect, nourish and comfort hands. An international customer favorite, one Shea Butter Hand Cream is sold every three seconds - 2012-2013. The formula includes honey and almond extracts, and coconut oil blended with shea butter for extremely effective hand care. The cream's rich texture is rapidly absorbed to leave the hands soft and smooth with no oily traces. 

Ingredients : 
Shea butter: nourishes, softens and protects (rich in vitamins and fatty acids)
Coconut oil: nourishes, rich in fatty acids
Extract of honey: softens
Extract of marshmallow root: softens
Flaxseed extract: nourishing and softening  

 
It has a valability of 12 months. There are also 30 ml (33 ron) and 150 ml ones (95 ron).
