I’m under 30 and I’m more than pleased with the way that my skin looks like, I don’t have wrinkles (only the expression ones), my is firm and healthy and I don’t see yet signs of aging that already appeared to some girls of my age. I can’t say that I using creams and moisturizers since 16 , I even remember my mother saying to me that I should start using some gentle face creams or lotions but I didn’t listen to her until 19-20 years. I didn’t even use makeup back then ( maybe only mascara and lipgloss) and I had a very simple cleansing routine. After my 20 years birthday I kind of start developing a complete cleansing and hydration routine to which I added new steps and products along the years.

Published on September 19, 2009 in Beauty. 1 Comment Tags: anti aging, anti wrinkles, chic review, eye cream, hydration, La Prairie, SPF.

Hello ladies ! Today I will review the Cellular Eye Contour Cream by La Prairie. As you already may have read from the title this is a 24 hour age fighting eye cream, so don’t confuse this one with an anti-aging eye cream. If you are looking for an eye cream that will help you protect your eye area against the sign of aging you can try La Prairie Anti – Aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex SPF 15.

LaPrairie Cellulart Eye Contour Cream Review La Prairie Cellular Eye Contour Cream (24 Hour Age Fighting Eye Care)

I wanted to finish the sample before I could make a complete review about this cream. Yes, as you may see from the photos it’s a 3 ml sample that I got from Sephora together with the other two samples eye creams from La Prairie

Age Management Eye Repair (read the complete review)
Cellular Radiance Eye Cream – Restorative Eye Therapy

Being a 3 ml sample it last me about 2 weeks ( I apply it day and night) and I can’t complain cause it’s more than other samples usually last. We all have delicate skin around the eyes so we need to use an extremely light and gentle eye cream like this.

THE GOOD NEWS:

The first one is that it helped me maintain my skin moisture level and it also prevented lines from morning.
If you decide to use foundation, you should apply the Cellular Eye Contour Cream first on your eye area. I’ve tried this one morning and it came up as a great idea because this eye cream is also an ideal base for make-up. My skin felt hydrated and moisturized under the foundation and even after I removed my make-up.
If your skin eye area is usually dry the Cellular Eye Contour Cream will correct dryness and will also inhibits dehydration. With only one application in the morning you won’t have to worry about the dryness all day long.
After I first applied this cream my skin became softer and smoother. It has a creamy but light texture and you need only very little little amount of product to apply around your eye.
You can start using this cream at any age because it’s not an anti-aging or anti-wrinkle eye cream with strong effects on your skin.
I’m sure that the 15 ml jar will last you a few good months, but is better first to ask for a tester in Sephora and try to see the effects on your skin before you decide to buy it.
It also improves the appearance by firming and minimizing fine lines, guarding against puffiness (but once they start appearing you need a stronger cream). Continue reading ‘Review – La Prairie Cellular Eye Contour Cream (24 Hour Age Fighting Eye Care)’

Autumn came! How do you treat our skin?

Model Face Shot Autumn came! How do you treat our skin?

Autumn comes with the sad feeling that sunny days are ending, with lovely memories from vacation but also with concerns about our skin.

Now it’s a good time to repair the damaged caused by the hot summer sun. Dehydration, skin deterioration, visible wrinkles, lack of shine, pigmentation spots due to sun burns, exfoliated and irritated skin, broken capillaries, are some of the symptoms that we are feeling in this period, that’s why our skin needs a gentle approach, special care different from the one in the summer and treating these problems.

For the beginning, exfoliation will help the skin to get rid of the dead cells, to facilitate the hydration and nourishment of the skin. Also, exfoliation will stimulate the production of new collagen, contributing to regeneration and cell renewal. It’s recommended an enzyme based product for sensitive skin, or predisposed to acne and a mechanical exfoliation, with products that contain granules, for dry or normal skin.

facial Autumn came! How do you treat our skin?

Other professional exfoliating procedures are recommended in October, when sun looses its intensity and doesn’t cause other damage.

The next step after the exfoliation is hydration and nutrition. After a summer with a very hot sun, when skin looses very much water, is necessary balancing the hydration. Is recommended the use of hydrating masks once or twice a week. If your skin is dry you should be using buttery creams, based on oil and water, and if is oily, gel products or with light texture, like oil free type are the best.

Cosmetics treatments with concentrated serums and emulsions which contains vitamins and antioxidants that improve skin condition and reduce the harmful effects of the sun, are necessary. Continue reading ‘Autumn came! How do you treat our skin?’

Review – La Prairie Age Management Eye Repair

Published on September 16, 2009 in Beauty. 2 Comments Tags: anti aging, anti wrinkles, chic review, eye cream, La Prairie, Sephora, SPF.

Hello ladies, as you may know by know, I’m a fan of La Prairie products and today I will review The Age Management Eye Repair cream. In the last couple of months I’ve been testing three eye-creams from La Prairie

Age Management Eye Repair
Cellular Radiance Eye Cream – Restorative Eye Therapy
Cellular Eye Contour Cream – 24 Hour Age Fighting Eye Care

they are all great products with visible effects within days. I hope that in the next few days I will review the other two creams and tell you my impressions about their wonderful effects.

LaPrairie Age Management Eye Repair Review La Prairie Age Management Eye Repair

Now, let’s talk about our first cream La Prairie Age Management Eye Repair that I’ve been using for more than 2 weeks. About 2 months ago when I stopped by Sephora to check out the prices on La Prairie products – because my Prairie anti-aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex SPF 15 was coming to an end – I was engaged in a conversation by the Sephora seller that asked me if she can help me in some way. She wanted to know if I’m familiar with La Prairie products and after noticing that I’ve been using them for quite a while and I know very well what I’m looking for and I’m now interested in testing other creams she offered me 3 samples of those 3 creams that I’ve just told you about.

FIRST: THE GOOD NEWS

Being a sample of 2 ml I didn’t expect to last longer than a few days, but again this company surprised me in a pleasant way. This little sample last me about 2 and half weeks, and trust me I’ve been using it 2 times a day (morning and evening). So, first of all I know that La Prairie has some high prices but they are explained. Their products last much longer than others, you only need to apply a very small amount of product and you will see it’s ok. When you are using it for the first time, the pump should be depressed several time in order to be activated. Be careful not to press the pump to hard, but if you do it’s ok cause the amount of product will be enough for both eye’s areas, so you just make sure to divide that amount in two before applying it on your orbital bone. Anyway, for portion control you just have to depress the pump halfway.
The original tube has 15ml of product so I think it will be enough for about 5-6 months. I was previously using La Prairie Anti-Aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex SPF 15, which is also a great eye cream (I’ve already bought it again) and has the same amount of 15 ml that last me about 6months.
The packaging. Usually companies don’t give to much importance to samples packaging, but as you can see from the photo the tube is very chic and classy. I also like that it’s transparent so I can see the amount of product that remains inside and I found very stylish its silver cap. The box is also silver but very shining, like all La Prairie products ( I had a hard time making photos because the box it’s almost like a mirror and every object is reflected in it). Being so small it fits perfectly in any bag (especially the small ones) and you can take it with you anywhere. I think it’s also ideal to take it with you when you go to trips leaving your 15 ml eye cream at home (to bad I’ve already finished it ).

Review – La Prairie – anti-aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex-SPF15 (skincare program)

Published on August 4, 2009 in Beauty. 1 Comment Tags: anti aging, anti wrinkles, chic review, Clinique, cream, dark circles, eye cream, eyes, hydration, La Prairie, skin, SPF, treatment.

In this hot summer day I just remembered about Christmas. I could trade almost anything now for a couple of hours in the Christmas Day. I have to admit that in the last few days temperatures reached +40 degrees Celsius and as much as I love sun, tanned skin, summer clothes and spirit of seaside vacations, I’m not a fan of these high temperatures. But this is not the only reason why I want to turn back time. The main reason is the gift received on Christmas Day (La Prairie – anti-aging eye cream a cellular intervention complex SPF 15) which I just finished few days ago.

I received many great gifts among the years but this one is by far the most appreciated and useful one. It came like a rescue for my eye’s skin area, because I was searching to replace my Clinique all about eyes soin total regard et contour which I was using for almost a year. I was dreaming about La Prairie since autumn, after hearing and reading all the great results that other women experienced, but I never think of it as a Christmas present to me. I have to admit that its price is kind of expensive, around 100 Eur on EBay and even more in beauty shops, but trust me its completely justified.

Beautiful just in a few stepts

Published on July 26, 2009 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: anti aging cream, anti wrinkles, eye cream, flexilift teint, gloss, mascara, Vichy.

Early in the morning, wash your face and wipe your skin with napkins or cotton pads.
Apply your eye cream. I recommend Vichy Liftactiv Retinol HA contour for eyes.
You makeup base can be very well replaced by anti-aging cream Vichy Liftactiv Retinol HA SPF 18.
Wait a few minutes - you can concentrate on your body in this time, to apply a body milk – and then you can apply your foundation. In order that battle against wrinkles will be more efficient, try a special anti-wrinkle foundation: Vichy Flexilift Teint, which standardized and gives luminosity to skin. I use this foundation everyday in nude shade cause im quite a bright skin type and i can say that’s working wonders for me. Fine lines are covered instantly and in the long way use they even disappear. I don’t even need to use illuminator anymore cause skin really has an healthy glow aspect.
Now, you need only mascara, a transparent gloss and a little bit of bronze powder in your cheeks! You will see how you’ll feel more beautiful.

vichy retinol HA 300x300 Do you think you know everything about wrinkles? LiftActiv Retinol HA from Vichy For a long time it was thought that battle against wrinkles should start in the moment when those are visible, without putting to much accent on preventing them. But more and more studies that appeared in the last years show that we should care about wrinkles long before they start appearing. The good news is that i have the perfect “anti wrinkle weapon”!

Do I have wrinkles?

You are still far away from prefix “4″ and you can hardly notice some fine lines. But to answer your question…yes, everybody has them. More specific, the research of Vichy laboratories, a certain study realized on a long period of time on the same women for 20 years, shows that on the woman’s face exist 3 types of wrinkles, no matter her age.

Types of wrinkles:

Printed wrinkles are those visible wrinkles which are accentuated along with age.
Reversible wrinkles are those who can become visible during the day.
Embryonic wrinkles are those wrinkles “programmed” to appear on our face.

Review: Clinique Turnaround – 15 Minute Facial mask

Published on January 2, 2009 in Beauty. 6 Comments Tags: 15 minutes, anti aging, anti wrinkles, chic review, Clinique, facial mask, mask, pimple, skin.

Few months ago I bought Super Defense cream from Clinique and I received also the Clinique Turnaroud 15 minute facial for free. I didn’t knew anything about this mask at that time but I wanted to try it out anyway. From the first usage I was impressed with the results, and I say this in the good way.

The texture was kind of sticky and the cream color is light blue. After 15 minutes while the mask was on my face, I saw the difference. I was impressed by its anti-ageing results as I saw that fine lines were diminished. My skin was vibrant, had also a radiant look and it felt so soft and smooth. I couldn’t believe how after only few minutes the minor imperfections of the skin, as red spots or small signs from pimples were completely gone.
