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.

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?

first impression

CLINIQUE superdefense SPF 20

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

“first of all, the texture is really light and makes the cream easy to apply. the cream absorbs immediately, so I was able to apply my foundation right away, making this cream a perfect base, as my make up lasted longer than before. after applying I noticed a general firming effect, which lasted all day. during long and intense days at work, with occasional stressful moments, I never felt any dryness or lines appear. I never felt greasy, shiny or my make up fading away through sweating. Also the spots I noticed at night sometimes were limited to only one. so far I would say this is the perfect cream for me at the moment.”

“I started to use the cream last sunday morning and I really like the consistency and texture of the cream. the fact that the cream has SPF 20 is amazing because we all know how important it is to protect the skin from the UVA and UVB rays. superdefense SPF 20 is very creamy but not too heavy, super nice and easy to apply and it leaves a very soft base. I think its very important not to use too much cream because it easily makes the skin look too shiny. I had to wait a few minutes before I could apply my foundation in order to let the cream set and dry. I applied my M.A.C face and body foundation (light coverage) and it worked well with the cream. it leaves a dewy finish even after applying my foundation and after setting my foundation with powder. my skin is always behaving cray cray during this one special lady moment of each month and therefore its hard for me to say whether the blemishes are caused by the cream or not. I will for sure continue to use the cream for a week and will then answer the questions we have set in the first blogpost and I will be able to give a better review about the clinique superdefense SPF 20.”

SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND


the new AESOP hair treatment!

I have been using it for the last couple of weeks and I gotta say it is really an amazing oil. 2-3 drops are enough for mid length hair. I use it as an everyday conditioner in the midlenght or as a mask applying it from the roots to the ends. The smell of it might not be everyones cup of tea.. but for the folks who know AESOP they will like the smell for sure! It makes my hair shinier and brighter. Especially for dyed hair it shows great effects and makes the color shine like a diamond!

BB or not BB?

thats the question!

I am using the CLARINS BB CREAM since yesterday and really like it so far. the smell of the cream is soooo good that I could almost eat it 😉 texture is really super soft and the coverage of the BB CREAM is okay.

I will do a special about BB CREAMS soon and will keep you updated about the CLARINS BB CREAM. But first I want to use it for some days. stay tuned! xx

BIODERMA beauty HAUL

BEAUTY HAUL

Today I went to Saint Louis France (approx 10 minutes by bike) first stop was “PHARMACIE GAUTHIER SAGE” they sell Bioderma a french pharmacy brand. I heard so many good things about the
BIODERMA SOLUTION MICELLAIRE (14.25 €)
It removes face and eye makeUp and leaves a fresh and soft feeling on your skin. I also bought the BIODERMA MASQUE APAISANT (14.50 €)
a mask for sensitive and dry skin. After cleansing my face with the Solution Micellaire I applied the mask and left it for 15 minutes. My skin felt really fresh, soft and moisturized. After waiting a few minutes my skin was ready for the BIODERMA CREME APAISANT (13.50 €)
a super light creme for everyday. I m really happy with the products so far. Will keep you posted about my daily skin regimen.
