I LOVE YOU

I LOVE THE NEW LIP BALM
by AESOP

a super rich balm!
what makes it so rich? when its about lip care I always read the ingredients as I often had problems with ingredients like silicon, paraffin and beewax. so of course I also checked the ingredients of this lip balm.
and you can see for yourself its without the ingredients that I had problems with – YAY!

ingredients of the AESOP lip balm SPF30

Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Jojoba Esters, Sucrose Polysoyate, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Zinc Oxide (Nano), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Tocopherol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Glyceryl Behenate, Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Citrus Tangerina (Tangerine) Peel Oil, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Glyceryl Isostearate, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Cananga Odorata Flower Oil, d-Limonene, Linalool, Benzyl Benzoate.

are you familiar with the scents of AESOP?
I am using different products by them and I really like the herbal scents of AESOP products. visit your AESOP shop and ask for the lipbalm, I am sure you will love it! xx

NEW products by Estée Lauder

#1 Sumptuous Infinite daring length and volume Mascara

#2 Revitalizing Supreme CC Creme

#3 ReNutriv Ultimate Contouring Eye lift

#4 Pure Color Envy Lipstick

#5 Modern Muse

#6 Pure Color Nailpolish


ladies, spring is about to be here and Estée Lauder presents some really awesome new products. I was invited to the press lunch in Basel and had the opportunity to get all the products explained and introduced. we all got a booklet with the latest products and a lot of interesting tips!

#1 Sumptuous Infinite daring length and volume Mascara
Some of you may know that I am not a Mascara Fan at all 🙂 I hardly ever use Mascara.. But still I am always craving new things and I am one of these person who loves to try out new things. So of course I gave this Mascara a try and I have to say it does what it promises. It made my lashes look longer and made them dense and I really liked the shape of the brush.

#2 Revitalizing Supreme CC Creme
A new anti-aging CC Creme – which adapts to your skin color and gets slightly tinted. the Cream should be applied as the last step after the moisturizer and inbetween foundation. I wear the CC Creme on Sundays and I just wear it on top of my moisturizer and it makes my skin look very even and it reduces the redness on my cheeks.

#3 ReNutriv Ultimate Contouring Eye lift
I cant wait for summer.. this will be my best friend in summer! The new ReNutriv Eye Lift Creme has an amazing applicator out of ceramic which always stays cool. No matter if you have it in your purse or in your room it stays the same temperature. its like magic! I use it without creme and start from the inner part sliding outwards underneath my eyes, I repeat this 3 times per eye after that I apply the creme with the same move. I have been using it for the last couple of weeks and I really see a difference in my skin around my eyes – YAY!

#4 Pure Color Envy Lipstick
Bright lips, I am so ready for the spring summer colors of 2014.
20 different intense moisturizing color shades for bright lustrous lips!

#5 Modern Muse
Modern Muse – I love the name of the newest Estée Lauder fragrance.
The fragrance has a very elegant and soft note and became one of my favorite fragrances. I wouldnt say its a fresh scent but still it makes me feel very fresh and clean. I took it to London for the fashionweek and whenever I travel short distances with small luggage I limit myself to bring only one parfum and allow myself to buy one in the dutyfree 🙂 so this time I didnt find a suiting parfum on my way to london so this meant I had to use the same parfum everyday for one week 🙂 and I loved it!! on the way back I found something nice, something we dont have in switzerland, but I will tell you in another post. stay tuned. I can highly recommend to visit your local parfum shop and try the Modern Muse fragrance – I am sure you will love it too.

#6 Pure Color Nailpolish
Not only bright lips but also bright nails – the new Pure Color Nailpolishes are really nice. I wore it for several days and it didnt chip. But I also used the top coat from Estée Lauder so I cant tell you if it would chip or not if wearing it without top coat. I will try it and will let you know.

soo, thats it for now. I had fun with all those new products and I hope you will enjoy them soon too! spring starts this month, yay! I will show you the Mascare, lipstick, CC Creme and Nailpolish in an upcoming post! stay tuned! xx

BESTSELLER ESTÉE LAUDER

BESTSELLER
ESTÉE LAUDER

#1 Advanced Night Repair

#2 Double Wear

this month it will be all about BEAUTY PRODUCT BESTSELLERS previously I have showed you the Bestellers of L’Occitane and The Body Shop , M.A.C  and today I will show you 2 of the Estée Lauder Bestseller products.

an alltime favourite of my mom, #1 Advanced Night Repair. She has been using this for at least 6 or more years and I can really see the effect it has to her skin. so when I read that Advanced Night Repair is among the bestselling products of Estée Lauder it really made me curious and I had to try it out myself. let me tell you, this is a magic product that will smoothen and soften your skin while you are asleep – not only smooth and soft it makes you look very fresh! #2 Double Wear foundation – aww.. this is one of my favourite foundations, it stays in place and leaves a nice finish. I apply it either with a foundation brush or with my fingers. the only thing I would change about this product is the design. I really miss a dispenser. the bottle opens with a lid and has no pumpsystem or so – therefore I think its not the easiest foundation for on the way.

DKNY be delicious skin

DKNY be delicious skin
Hydrating Eau de Toilette

something new ladies !!
I am sure you know the original fragrance DKNY be delicious that was launched in 2004. Now they extended their line with this new skin hydrating eau de toilette that you can see in the photo above.

The collection consists of three already known fragrances now in a new skin formula:
DKNY Be Delicious Skin Hydrating Eau de Toilette
DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Skin Hydrating Eau de Toilette 
DKNY Golden Delicious Skin Hydrating Eau de Toilette

aww.. the scent of DKNY Be Delicious Skin Hydrating Eau de Toilette is very fresh and has a touch of green apple with a citric note – perfect for spring. The magic is called “Apple Fusion Complex”, a blend of ingredients that is clinically proven to help moisturizing, smooth and brighten the skin. I really like the re-design of the bottles and the new atomizer spray for all-over body misting. It really makes it easy to spray the product all over the body.

visit your nearest shop and try it out – it might be something nice for you.
have a wonderful day. xx

BESTSELLER M.A.C

BESTSELLER
M.A.C

#1 “Ruby Woo” lipstick matte

#2 Prep & Prime Natural Radiance Base Visage

#3 Mineralize Concealer

#4 Mineralize Rich “All Out Gorgeous”

#5 Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation

#6 Mineralize Skinfinish Natural

this month it will be all about BEAUTY PRODUCT BESTSELLERS previously I have showed you the Bestellers of L’Occitane and The Body Shop and today I am going to show you the Bestsellers of M.A.C cosmeticsc.

red lips, I looove red lips, ergo I also love red lipsticks and my favourite red lipstick is one of the Besteller products by M.A.C#1 “Ruby Woo” lipstick – a wonderful matte red. My third step of my skin routine in the morning is to apply primer, of course not every day but when I ll be out all day or if I have a photoshooting I use the #2 Prep & Prime Natural Radiance Base Visage – it makes my skin very even and leaves a perfect base for my foundation. After applying foundation I use concealer around my nose and on the red parts of my cheeks (couperose) – #3 Mineralize Concealer is the bestselling concealer by M.A.C and I can only use it around my cheeks and nose as it is too dry for under my eyes. I tried it several times but it always leaves very thin dry lines around my eyes.. and ofcourse I dont like that 🙂 so if you have rather oily skin around your eyes I would totally recommend this concealer. aaaww, the #4 Mineralize Rich lipstick in the shade “All Out Gorgeous” is sooo pretty!! I can not get enough of this color. As many of you might know I am a huge fan of bright lips so I totally agree with all the other ladies who make this product a bestseller.  Do you use powder foundation? #5 Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation will be your favourite, I am sure about that. Personally I prefere to use liquid foundation as I dont like a too matte powdery finish on my dry skin. but I love to use it to set my bright lipsticks. An all time favourite of mine is the #6 Mineralize Skinfinish Natural powder. I use it every day to set my foundation.

BEAUTY BESTSELLER

BEAUTY BESTSELLER
L’OCCITANE

#1 Eclat & Soin Couleur
Shampoo with 5 Essential Oils

#2 Concentre de Lait AMANDE
Firming and Smoothing Milk Concentrate

#3 Creme Mains Rose Heart
20% Shea Butter protects, moisturizes and absorbs quickly.

#4 Verveine Eau de Toilette
with organic Verbena extract

These are the BESTSELLER products by L’OCCITANE. As I told you in my previous post this month is all about BEAUTY BESTSELLERS. Let me tell you a little bit about these amamzing products.

I have colored hair and I used #1 Eclat & Soin Couleur Shampoo for a couple of hairwashes and I really must say its an amazing product. Mostly herbal products do not latter but the Eclat & Soin Couleur smells really good and latters. As some of you may already know I have very dry skin and therefore I m always looking for rich body creams or butters. #2 Concentre de lait AMANDE is a perfect cream for dry skin. It smells delicious and it moisturizes and absorbs very fast. I use it allover my body and I can get dressed immediately without feeling greasy or so. Some weeks ago I posted something about handcreams, the post was caled “things I hardly use but I should” there I already featured the #3 Creme Mains Rose Heart with 20% Shea Butter. It is a great product that protects, moisturizes and absorbs quickly. see the post about handcremes << http://isawsomethingnice.ch/post/73605959920/thingsthatihardlyeverusebutishouldhandcreams >> last but not least let me tell you about the #4 Verveine Eau de Toilette
with organic Verbena extract its a very fresh fragrance and for me it is a bit too much citrc so I prefere to use it in my house instead of my body – I know this must sound weird but I really think it makes an amazing roomspray aswell. 🙂

CLINIQUE superdefense SPF 20

Jaswant and me will answer these questions below. we both used the cream for 1 week.

#1
how does the skin react to the new cream?
#2
how does it work with foundations?
#3
does the cream keep the skin hydrated during the whole day?
#4
how much to use per day? how long will the product last for?
prize/result – is it worth it?

Jaswant – 35 – fashion consultant / mom says:
(type 3,4 combination oily to oily)

1
After using the cream for a full week I can tell for sure that my skin reacts well and no irritations appeared. After applying superdefense and having a few sips of my morning tea I was able to apply my foundation right away.

2
I use the luminous silk foundation by Georgio Armani. This has light coverage and not a matt but glowy finish. I use a highlighter on the check bones, fluid sheer by Georgio Armani. Together with the Superdefense cream I found the result to be stunning. It gave me an overall healthy looking glow, you get after a restfull vacation.

3
The cream definately keeps my skin hydrated through the whole day. I never felt any drynes or tight feeling when exposed to dry office air. Before using other creams I could see lines in various areas caused by dry air at the end of the day. Several people around me noticed the improvement of my skin, and said how good and healthy I looked.

4
As the cream is very nurturing I don’t need a lot and can say that it will last for at least 6-8 weeks. Therefore I think it is worth to buy, and I’m waiting to see the result on my skin after a month.

Lea – 30 wardrobestylist / blogger says:
(type 1,2 very dry to combination)

1
My skin reacted quiet well to the superdefense SPF 20. Usually I get irritations and redness very easily but I really didnt have any problems yet. I have been using the cream for one week now and I didnt get any blemishes from the cream.

2
When I first used the cream with the M.A.C Face and Body Foundation my skin felt very dewy and I had to wait for quiet a moment in between.
But then I started to use a primer, M.A.C Prep and Prime, before applying the foundation and then I didnt have any issues with too dewy and shiny skin.

3
The cream does keep my skin hydrated during the the whole day.
I have very dry parts on my forhead, around my nose and chin and the cream really helped to hydrate my skin.

4
I only use a little amount every day because the cream is very rich and when you use too much it will make you look very shiny.
The 50 ml will last me for at least 8 weeks if not longer as I only use it during the day. The superdefense SPF 20 costs 72 CHF which is not cheap and I have to use the cream for a little bit longer in order to see if the cream is really worth it.

so what about you? did you use the CLINIQUE superdefense yet?
did you like it?
