Hello peeps!

I’ve been MIA for a while but I’m back!  I was for a whole month in magical Ibiza. Jelly yet??? It was so much fun and relaxing: family, beach, food, Gin tonics…Ok i am going to stop hahaha. For this post I wanted to share with you three of my latest beauty finds =)

Let’s start with Gaudalie Huile Divine: Yes. it’s divine! This dry oil is packed with antioxidants from grapeseed as well as firming and moisturizing oils from argan, sesame, and hibiscus. It absorbs super fast leaving my skin soft and glowing. It has been a life saver after all these weeks under the sun. My skin was thirsty and needed something really hydrating. It says you can use it on your face and hair too…therefore it is a perfect multitasking oil to take on your next vacation. One more thing! It is free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. In Europe you can find this product/brand almost at any drug store/pharmacy. In the U.S you can find it at http://www.sephora.com and sephora stores.

Every summer I breakout! The combination of heat, humidity, and SPF creams are like a bomb for my skin. Two weeks ago my cheeks were full of mini pimples until I found La Roche-Posay EFFACLAR MAT. According to what it says on the tube, this is a sebo-regulating moisturizer, anti-shine, and anti-enlarged pores. You can wear it day and night. It has a matte finish so it is great for oily/combination skin. It really keeps your skin moisturized and I am breaking out less every day. My pores are definitely smaller and it is a great make-up base. This brand is very popular in Europe and their products are formulated for people with sensitive skin. They have no parabens or fragrances that can irritate the skin. I know I’ve seen this brand at Walgreens pharmacies if you live in the U.S. So far I am very pleased with the product, I am not sure it will be moisturizing enough during winter weather but I will keep you posted.

My lips feel soft and hydrated. Staying power…? I can give it a 6.5 out of 10. Great for everyday natural make-up or great to pair with a smokey eye at night. You can find this lipstick at department stores, http://www.sephora.com or http://www.nars.com.

Dior Summer Nails

Hello! So, I am loving these New Dior Nail Polishes. Front Row (769) is a vibrant reddish, hot pink with the perfect amount of shimmer. The color goes on like a dream. With just one coat you get the color to look just like you see it from the bottle. The color is glossy and saturated. I applied two coats to make it more intense and rich but believe me with just one is enough in case you need a quick “mani”.

Porcelaine (204) is a powder, baby blue, pastel color. So beautiful but I did have to apply 3 coats. With just one coat it looks very sheer. On the second coat you start to see the color nicely, but if you want it to look like you see it in the bottle you better apply three coats. So, in this case the color was not as intense and saturated as Front Row but still I like it. Also if you don’t like such a bold look on your nails you can leave it sheer or go as intense as you would like.

I must say that I love the brush on this Dior nail polishes. It makes the application very easy because of it’s tapered corners and soft bristles. I usually end up with a little bit of a mess around my nails when I do my own manicure, but this time I hardly had anything to clean after I was done =)

Laters peeps! xx
