something nice

these two lovely things found their way to me and I have been using them the last couple of weeks. ooh dear, I like them both!

VICHY Capital Soleil BB Creme SPF 50

It has a lovely texture and a rather light coverage. I love BB Creams and I love high SPF protection and here I have found the perfect combo. A BB Cream with SPF 50!

KIEHL’S Micro Blur Skin Perfector

Apply this and you are ready to go, this product immediately blurs all my imperfections into oblivion! I have to say I am very much impressed! I use it after my Creme and Foundation and wow I can really see a before/after effect. I hope to be able to catch this on camera and show you.

SENSAI SILKY BRONZE

SENSAI SILKY BRONZE

“the sun is shining the weather is sweet..” so lets see what SENSAI is presenting this Summer! I got the Sensai Silky Bronze Cellular Protective Cream for Face SPF 50 – Silky Bronze Self Taning for Face – Silky Bronze Sun Protective Compact – Silky Bronze Cellular Protective Cream for Body SPF 30 and I have used these products for the last couple of sunny days! I can directly compare this collection with the Lancaster Sun Control products that I have also recently tested. so let me tell you what I think about the Silky Bronze collection:

Silky Bronze Cellular Protective Cream for Face SPF 50
a very nice cream and super easy to apply. I think SPF 50 is perfect for the face but its also available in SPF 15 and SPF 30 and it is waterresisitant!

Silky Bronze Self Taning for Face
I did not use this product yet, I will keep you posted!

Silky Bronze Sun Protective Compact SPF 30
I love bronzing compact powders and especially this one! it has the perfect shade and matte finish without any shimmer. It can be used dry or wet and is waterresistant. this is my favorite product out of the Sensai Silky Bronze Collection and I would definitely repurchase it!

Silky Bronze Cellular Protective Cream for Body SPF 30
like the one for the face it is also a very nice light cream that is very easy to apply. I used it this sunday and I was in the direct sunlight at the river for about 3 hours in the afternoon and I didnt get any sun burn. Its only available in SPF 30 which I consider a bit low. to be very honest I dont really like the smell of these creams or maybe its just because I prefere the smell of the Lancaster Sun Control products that I have also recently tested.

did you use the Sensai Silky Bronze products?

SPRING & SUMMER skin care


the sun is out and thats the time where we should think about SPF – do you use SPF? I can highly recommend to do so. the sun is very powerful and can cause serious damage to your skin.. yeah, I know.. I am sure you have heard that somewhere before 🙂 anyway, I want to show you what I use at the moment in order to keep my skin protected from UV A and UV B rays.

LANCASTER Sun Control Fluid SPF 50
Thats what I start with, thats my base in spring and summer. It is a very light fluid and very easy to apply all over my face and neck. I already introduced this product here >>

CLINIQUE superdefense SPF 20
As a second step I use my daily moisturizer. It already has an average SPF but not enough for my sensitive skin and my couperose parts on my cheeks. here you can read my opinion about the Clinique Superdefense – I did a test with Jaswant and we are both still using them.  >>

ESTEE LAUDER CC Cream SPF 10
I think this is enough coverage for me in spring and summer. Its perfect to even out my skintone and leaves a nice glow. read more about this CC Cream here >>

so after these steps I curl my eyelashes, I apply Bronzer and lipstick and I am ready for the day!

whats your skin care routine? do you use SPF? what products do you use?
