RODIN




It´s a simple, sensual perfume and it captures the aromatic heart of Linda´s original Jasmine & Neroli Face Oil with its heady combination of delicately fragrant Jasmine and spicy Neroli. An oil based perfume with an incredibly silky touch on the skin, Rodin has a distinctive signature at once intimate and long lasting. We can easily say - a perfect spring perfume.

LESS LINES




Matrixyl is one of the most powerful anti-aging ingredients, a peptide composition, developed and trademarked by Sederma in France. This unique formula contains two generations of it, Matrixyl 3000 and Matrixyl Synthe'6, combined together at a high concentration of 10%, this serum dramatically reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines by stimulating collagen and elastin production, while the addition of hyaluronic acid provides a boost of hydration, meaning that the formula is efficiently delivered deep beneath the skin´s surface. Apply few drops to a clean face morning and evening before creams and/or oils. 

SUN DROPS




Described by the brand as "your liquid sun umbrella", this Dr. Barbara Sturm's innovative, light-textured sun serum provides for your face SPF50 protection. An active complex of Cassia Extract, Vitamin E and Beta-Glucan protects the skin and promotes the regeneration of damaged cell structures. Mix few drops of this serum with your regular face cream, or use the light-textured drops undiluted as desired. 

PERFECTING BODY OIL




A delicately scented, luxurious body oil formulated to match skin´s natural lipid balance and is easily absorbed, leaving the skin soft with a silky sheen. Organic rosehip oil regenerates the skin, and together with vitamin E, offers antioxidant protection. Grape seed, apricot kernel and avocado oils, naturally rich in essential fatty acids, replenish moisture levels and restore a healthy glow.

JOJOBA OIL




Did you know that this gold-toned oil has a healing property? Suitable for all skin types, especially acne-prone, sunburned or chapped skin, this Marie-Stella-Maris Jojoba oil has a Vitamin E that protects and recovers your skin in a total natural way, while giving a powerful boost. You need just 2 to 3 droops of it, applied on cleansed skin.

MYTH




A sophisticated fusion of tiger orchid and airy beauty of jasminn with a sexy, undeniable warmth of liquid musks and white cedar-wood, will elevate all your senses, worthy of the myths it will create. Myth, as all Ellis Brooklyn fragrances, is created with the environment in mind from the packaging and formula to the final product.

FLORAL STEAM




This is the easiest way to create a spa-like treatment at home. After cleansing your face, cover a small portion of this Theseeke facial steam mix, composed by rose buds, calendula flowers and jasmine buds, with boiled water in a bowl, then put your head above the bowl and take 5-10 minutes to breathe deeply and relax. 

PURE CALM




Feel anxious and stressful and want an easy, fast and especially natural way to bring some tranquillity? Try this Uma´smagical Ayurvedic formula that works as a natural valium. This magic potion is formulated with roman chamomile essential oil that acts as a sedative to soothe tense nerves, while grounding vetiver essential oil relieves muscular stress, not to mention the final "touch" of beautifully scented lavender essential oil that enhances feelings of relaxation and calm, which is more than welcome at the end of every busy day.

SUN KISSED




A luxurious tinted lotion from Edible Beauty, rich with benefits of nature, including AHAs, antioxidants and SPF, that effortlessly blends with your own natural skin to give you smooth skin and a soft glow.

3 FAVOURITE BEAUTY LOOKS F/W 2017/2018 PFW






After New York and Milan also in Paris the main beauty code through fashion shows was "natural beauty", the no-make up make-up, like at Haider Ackermann lit up with touches of highlighter, at Dries Van Noten with a super-glowy complexion or at Y/Project that opted for a pure, almost virgin look. Even hairstyles in major shows were looking "undone". We love it!

3 FAVOURITE BEAUTY LOOKS F/W 2017/2018 MFW






Overall natural may be the beauty key word during MFW, a down-to-earth base to put some accents like a touch of peachy on lips at Fendi or even bright red at Prada or punk-like eyes at Marni.

3 FAVOURITE BEAUTY LOOKS F/W 2017/2018 NYFW






The common denominator is a fresh faced look, regardless if the focus is on xxl eye leashes on the bottom eyelid at Jeremy Scott,  on chicness made with a bright red lips and a low ponytail at Jason Wu or the daily, non-make-up look and sleek, straight hair seen at Victoria Beckham.

BETTER SLEEP "POISONS"




Got a stress period, week or a day? Cannot sleep properly and consequently the mornings are even harder than usual, not to mention energy-less days. When it starts this cycle tends to repeat, day by day by day...Let´s try with tea, this herb-mix poured with warm water, made to calm the nerves and relax us. From what we´ve tried so far, we especially love Pukka´s mix of oak flower, lavender and limeflower, Clipper´s infusion of Cinnamon, Chamomile (25%), Honeybush, Lemon Balm (5%) and Valerian Root or Love Tea´s one made of Valerian root, liquorice root, spearmint, chamomile, passion flower and lavender. 

If you have a “holy grail” place where you can find good organic ingredients, then you can make a good sleep tea by your own, like following this recipe:

REEK




REEK is a new feminist perfume brand, founded to memorialise heroic, unapologetic women through scent, made in collaboration with award-winning perfumer, Sarah McCartney. Theirs first scent, "Damn Rebel Bitches", is hand-mixed from hints of blood orange, hazelnut, pink peppercorn, clary sage and malt, making it fresh and exciting. It was named after 18th century Jacobite women, as badass political activists and dissidents. The Duke of Cumberland called them Damn Rebel Bitches because they wouldn’t give up on their cause. They were fearless. Jacobean Lady Nithsdale broke her husband out of the Tower of London in 1716 by dressing him in drag. Good start with a great smell.

COMEBACK OF REAL ONES




We all praise the good trends, those that make good or best things to have their comeback and with a little pray hope to remain. Each sector has those good moments, perfume included. Hopefully the era of mass productions, with roots from the beginning of the 1900s due the development of synthetic aromas, is getting more and more overshadowed by brands like for example Mad et Len (pictured Black Uddù and Terre Noir eau de parfum), Nasomatto, Ormonde and even Tom Ford that are starting offering fragrances at higher concentrations, eau de parfum and extrait de parfum, as it was hundred years before. Once the world parfum meant aromatic ingredients diluted in pure alcohol at their highest practical concentration, normally around 15-20 per cent. You can imagine that a drop or two of this sumptuous liquid lasted hours and hours. 

YSL BEAUTY SPRING 2017




Yves Saint Laurent, the beauty line, goes Street Art for its spring 2017 make-up collection. There are loads of vibrant and rich colours, graffitiesque-inspired packaging that make almost a feel that Keith Haring got some "input" in this line launching in January 2017. Our "especially-to-look-for" product is the "Baby Doll Kiss & Blush Duo Stick" that will be out in six colour combinations designed to help you carve out and enhance your face or to create an ombré lip look.

GWYNETH´S GLOWING EVENING SKIN





She has just "few" steps, made (absolutely) by nature, (almost) organic products, sort of her essential "how I do it" for an easy night-out. Beside some of her Goop products and other stuff, there is also our latest "magic" discovery that we´ve been talked about in our recent posts (a hint is here).

THIS REALLY WORKS!




When the talk (and not only) is about beauty products, new and/or not so new ones, we always get excited by reading nice claims, but especially after hearing some great reviews (not sponsored ones, of course). You know that kind of things/stuff that will "change your life (khm, skin) forever", making our hands sweaty, while we are impatiently waiting for the time to purchase it and get that "magic" work on us. I pretty guess that we everyone have been there at least once. Most of the time (hell yeah, an honest 99%) we were disappointed and become insusceptible, if not immune to all "sweet" claiming words. But exceptions make the rules, aren´t they? There is still a 1% and it´s, unfortunately, our "job" to get to it among all the "pretenders". Huh, it sounds like a life-philosophy, something that we are doing during our whole life-journey. And it is. That´s why we want you to skip you one, at least once make you to avoid that process and share with you a good stuff, the one that really works!
My dears, here it is Vintner´s Daughter Active Botanical Serum. "The reviews all seemed too good to be true, but it works. It really works," says Meghan about it. "My skin has never looked this good. It’s so bright and clear. I don’t have to wear make-up anymore."

This precious 30ml bottle isn´t cheap at all, but makes a true magic, real one, so worth every cent.
