Thursday thoughts

I don't have anything special to write about. It is just one of these days when
I feel totally empty...but somehow, in my emptiness, I managed to take a few photos...
Still don't know how that happened.

New in my wardrobe
Small chain bag from Urban Outfitters.This is a vintage-recycled-remade item.In other words, this bag was a vintage piece, which was renewed and reconstructed into modern design.
Nude scarf from Zara.

What I wish for at the moment
1.earrings, just because.
2.long hair, to tie them up in a bun, like Clemence.






earrings, AllSaints, Clemence Poesy

3.bra. I can't go out without.



Catherine Deneuve, bras, both, Stella McCartney.

4.scent.It may be my new addiction this summer.Floral and delicate.

See By Chloe

May wishlist

 from the left: sandals, A detacher via La Garconne, blouse, long skirt, both Zara,

blushes Clinique, Yves Saint Laurent, both via Selfridges.

Spring in full boom and I'm in the mood for new blushes, floral patterns, long skirts and sandals. At the same time I just feel like keeping it as simple as I can and these earthy colours are exactly what I need.

from the top:shopper bag  by COS, earrings Kurt Geiger,

the journal magazine via La Garconne Shop.

 

 

Now I only want a big enough bag to put all my junk and a good magazine. I discovered The journal by accident while visiting online shop La Garconne. It looks like they have a good editorial there, so it feels right to be tempted to buy.

This post is more about beauty products I'm currently using, however I couldn't resist to take some photos of my new H&M jacket,and the necklace from Warehouse - I had a discount voucher so luckily for me I paid for it cheaper.See more in the next post!

here is a list of cosmetics I use for face
1. Micellar foam cleanser with rose petals. This Nuxe cleanser smells lovely, cleanses and purifies well and more importantly, this is a very delicate product so suitable even for sensitive skin.I absolutely love it.
2. Anti-aging re-densifying emulsion for combination skin, again from Nuxe.When I first started to use this cream I wasn't happy, I had spots...but they started to disappear after a week and now the product works really well for me. Skin appears smoother than before!
3.Diorskin nude foundation 0/20, skin glowing make -up.This foundation is getting more and more compliments on blogs and I have to admit that it works for me too.
4. Avene thermal spring water. Your skin can really benefit from this,especially when you have sensitive skin with tendency to allergies or irritations. Besides, it is functional, you can use it to remove or set you make-up, for sunburns, redness or just to refresh the face during the day. Skin becomes softer and more flexible. Honestly wish I started using it earlier.Curiosity: as sign up now on their website you will receive periodically trial size samples for free.

By the way, have you seen the last video "How to clean your face "by INTO THE GLOSS ?

The thinking tank

Hello!
Finally Sunday came...and I have time to sit down, read the magazine-TANK, drink coffee ( third one this morning...) and later watch the Olympics...
OMG, how fit those people are! If only I knew how to motivate myself...

TANK MAGAZINE ISSUE 5, SUMMER

 Ok, but let's leave the exercises for later (as usual) and THINK more about the skin...

yeah...

....yeah...happy go lucky!!!

I visited a local department store last week and was offered a free make up by Lancome make up artist. I thought why not???

I was lucky to get samples of the New Genifique and Primordiale cream just to try it for a few days before the meeting and evaluate the results. I was so glad, I bought.

MY NEW SKIN ROUTINE PROGRAMME BY LANCOME        



Image by lola

At the meeting apart from the make -up I was advised  how to look after my skin and what products to use, so they act together for visible improvements.

PRIMORDIALE SKIN RECHARGE CREAM

Image by lola

Genifique is a youth activating concentrate that makes skin looks radiant, smoother and brighter...
Primordiale cream is a smoothing moisturiser designed for the first signs of ageing, so this is exactly  what I need at the moment.

In addition I received a free sample of Lancome foundation.I haven't try it yet but so far it is good.

I took these photos on my way home. There is a lovely road down the hill. I went to town to buy a  new face cleanser, the previous one wasn't good and made my skin more oily than it is... ( I have mixed type) I don't want to risk any more therefore this time I went for Chanel!..
I remembered I received a free sample a while ago and I really liked it.

Back at home I tasted my new Mousse Douceur ( Balance and Anti Pollution Cleanser ).I found a leaflet in the box, and I read that I have pollutants trapped in my skin... and that is important to not only remove make-up  but also to remove the effects of pollution from the skin. Well I hope that this product is doing exactly that. But so far...so good... I know that Mousse Douceur cleans gently smells lovely and makes my skin really soft in touch - so it is recommended...However there is one thing you should be  aware of...it will remove all your make up...apart from a waterproof mascara!

I must have been very lucky because the saleswoman gave me some free samples of a new Chanel Sublimage La  Creme , anti-ageing skin care cream. I felt even more happy when I found out about the price - £240 , 50ml !!!Ok, let's focus on benefits...forget the price...I like the smell - rose, I like the texture - light but hydrating and I like the fact that my skin looks and feels great after each application.I think it's a good product... so  go out there and ask for samples for yourself.
