La Roche-Posay products

Three products which I never thought I will own and return to. Back in February I shared my skin issues and what I have started to do to change it. 

With Clarissonic Mia2 coming in to my life I suddenly went adventures and got on promotions two La Roche-Posay products. I have heard so much good about Effaclar Duo + that when I saw it on promotion I couldn't resist and I picked it up it with Effaclar lotion astringer micro- exfoliante .  It wasn't sudden change what I saw, but through couple weeks I notice that my skin is clearer and it's more smooth.  Even if I had some break outs I could much easier and quicker deal with them. 

The Effaclar Duo + have lasted me quite long even if it's just 40ml. I used it on my T zone and some break outs every evening and morning. But I'm going through Effaclar lotion astringer micro- exfoliante quite quickly, I will be purchasing my third.

About Effaclar Mat I'm not so sure if I will be purchasing for second time. My T zone gets through the day quite shiny and I didn't saw if it made a big change to it. At the moment I still have left some and I will finish it up. I use pea size amount of it every morning on my t-zone mostly and on cheeks, which are more dry skin and I still use some moisturizer with spf.

I hope this will help you if you are in the quest for these type of products or Effaclar Duo + have been on your mind.

Peace, joy and ♥

Danielle Laroche Dead Sea Wonders Balancing Night Cream

This is second product from Danielle Laroche I have tried out and I have returned to. I haven't seen people talking about this or any of Danielle Laroche products, so I thought it's definitely worth to mention. I only wish it would be more accessible. Mine I bought at my local TK Maxx. 

Product Description:

 A pampering night cream that supplies rich nourishment and promotion to the skin. this formulation is enriched with dead sea minerals developed according to the standards of the Israel cosmetics industries association. the cream also contains inca inchi, the oil, richest in omega 3, 6 & 9, and Argan oil, obtained from the kernels of the Argan tree, one of the oldest tree species in the world to protect and nourish the skin. 

It's thick, so little goes a long way. I pick a pea size of a cream and I warm it up in my hands, because it's so thick and hard to apply. When I have warmed it up, I gently pat on my skin until it's absorbed. My combination skin feels comfortable and nourished. This cream have really helped out through Fall, Winter months and even now at the beginning of Spring when weather is weird. I'm just wondering if it will work in warmer months as well.

Which is your beauty discovery?

Peace, joy and ♥

Review: Irresistible Me Diamond Hair Styler

I think my first flat iron was amazing gift  on my sixteen. Oh, what a damage it done to my hair back then, yet I had so much fun. Suddenly frizz was no problem. 

Over years I have owned few more flat irons which was much more improved and evolved in technology. When Irresistible Me offered to try out their Diamond Hair Styler, I couldn't say no.

 When it comes to good quality hair straightener it's all in the plates. Irresistible Me styling iron feature unique DIAMOND Hi-Tech, which coats the floating ceramic plates with crushed diamond (diamonds are girls best friends) particles mixed with tourmaline, which will protects hair and keep all the natural hair oils, color and moisture in, leaving hair healthy, shiny and frizz free. The styling will last longer against air humidity and everyday stress.

It's all about the details:

I love that it's not heavy, it glides smoothly through my hair without pulling it and that it have a 360° mobile cord, that swivels around following my moves, which makes it very comfortable to work with. 

The Diamond Hair Styler features an accurate electronic temperature display and it gets hot in up to 15 seconds, which let me control temperature, so I don't have to guess. All the buttons are hidden inside so while I'm straightening my hair there's no chance that I will unexpectedly change temperature settings. And the other great feature is that if I forget to turn it off (been there, done it) , it'll shut down automatically in 30 minutes. 

For all who travel Irresistible Me Diamond Hair Styler is perfect, it automatically changes the temperature display to Celsius or Fahrenheit, depending on the supplied voltage.

It was first time when I managed with first go make curls with flat iron! It truly glides smoothly without pulling.

It comes in beautiful packaging which will make a wonderful gift for yourself or someone else.

My experiance with Clarisonic Mia2

I think I have had previously just twice shared with you my favorite beauty products. When it comes to beauty (to anything) I'm very picky.

 It's not about how expensive, inexpensive or exclusive product is, the most important for me is that product works. I've tried lots of brand beauty products from higher market to less expensive and I for sure can say it's not how much it cost, because there have been lots of disappointments on both sides.

Last year I notice that my skin have become little bit more uneven, especially I was unsatisfied with my forehead skin. Maybe stress, lack of sun, hitting my thirty and who knows what else "helped" to it too. Usually to my everyday routine once or twice a week I do two masks- one what purify deep down and other - hydrating. Especially this time of year I use products that brightens my skin as well. But I had a feeling it's not enough. I heard before about Clarisonic, but never cared for it, since I didn't had such an issue.

I did little research about Clarisonic, there was as usually as to anything two teams, one which was very positive and other which wasn't. I wasn't sure should I get it, so I left it. 

To my BIG surprise I got it for Christmas. That was definitely one thing which I didn't expect to get, because I just once passing by Clarisonic in a shop mentioned what it is to my fiance, even not going in to details. But if I think of it more it makes sense- he's man who loves any gadget and he have seen me every week looking scary with all those masks on and trying out new products, probably heard from bathroom my unhappy mumbling too.

It's been two months and I can definitely see the difference. My skin is smoother, cleaner (less breakouts) and more even out skin tone. I have to mention that I don't use it in mornings and to take off my make-up, I first take off my make-up and then as deeper cleansing I use Clarisonic with my cleanser. I haven't yet tried Clarisonic's Refreshing Gel Cleanser which came in set.  I very enjoy this evening ritual of cleansing and it takes just 60 seconds. I use it on my neck too and now and then on my decollete zone. I'm considering now to get body brush head too. I was very lucky that in my Clarisonic Mia2 set was three brush heads- Sensitive Brush Head (which I'm now using), Satin Precision Contour Brush Head, Cashmere Cleanse Brush Head (will play with them later). 

So far I'm very happy with it and I do recommend to get it or give it as a gift to someone who wants to even out skin tone, to deep clean and smooth skin texture. If you decided to get it, look for some gift sets where you can get for the same Clarisonic price some samples and brush or two.

If there's any questions which you wish to ask, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll be happy to help you.

Peace, joy and ♥

Dannielle Laroche Night- Time Vitamin C

  

I think I never have before made a post dedicated to some skincare product. I was thinking a lot should I make a post about this product but just because I love it so much I thought I should share with you. Please, know that by any mean this is not sponsored post or I'm not a beauty blogger.

   When I picked up this  Dannielle Laroche  Night- Time Vitamin C  on sales I didn't put a lot of hope on it. I felt more adventures and was tired of my previous night cream, because it wasn't just working for me as I would like it (surprise, surprise) and I was for long time on hunt for new night cream. At the time my skin was acting up badly. I have combination skin type and yet I felt I need especially moisturize my T-zone. First time when I applied I noticed that it felt thick and could be rich but not at all it's not greasy, not heavy, absorbs very quickly. I thought it was making my skin dry but it was just tightening up my skin. After while I noticed that my skin looks more healthy, didn't brake out so much  when ever we have that time in month, and scars was heeling much quicker. 

  I love this product and I'm, upset that I can't find it anymore in my local shops. I have seen it on amazon and ebay but I don't feel confident to buy online. I'm just old fashioned girl like that. Please, let me know if you have tried this product or some other products from Danielle Laroche. Or maybe you could share your favorite products.

Peace, joy and ♥

Blush

 all photos by D.A.

When things come to make-up I'm absolutely beginner. My first blush Rimmel Pink Rose I bought several years ago recommended by Lisa Eldridge. I didn't wanted to invest in something more expensive, because I wasn't sure how it will work on me. I fell in love and as I like my routine I staid loyal to it, but when suddenly it disappeared from Rimmel shelfs I understood I had to look for something new and look alike. I spent many hours at the make-up counters and reading reviews. Finally went for this Blush Prodige Illuminating Cheek Colour in Miami Pink. It's the closest by the shade to my old pal Pink Rose and I have to admit- I love the packaging too.Which is your favorite blush?

Peace, joy and ♥
