Yves Rocher | Haul

Hi everyone! Lately I've slowly started shopping a bit... it's the effect Christmas has on me haha! I'll show you what I bought at Yves Rocher, a store I love... Yves Rocher is an amazing store that has amazing products/offer. You basically always get tons of gifts, free products, 50% off of some products, samples, it's heaven for a beauty lover like me. Their product are amazing as well. Many of them are staples of mine. So anyways, here's what I bought/received as a gift, the last time I visited Yves Rocher...

3 min. Cranberry Cooling Effect Mask | I've been wanting to try this one for a while. During the winter time, a mask that makes my face looks glowy/radiant? uhm, how about yes?

Micellar Cleansing Water | This is staple for me. Much more affordable than Bioderma. This removes everything and smells so good. Leaves my skin feeling fresh and revitalized. It feels great on the skin. I love that you can use it on your eyes/face/lips. I need an endless supply of this.

Apple Delight Shimmering body lotion | This was a free gift. It smells amazing, apples and vanilla? Yum.  Can't wait to try it. A shimmering body lotion, sounds nice for the holidays!

Hydra Vegetal Moisture Boost Serum | As I don't have a Yves Rocher in town, whenever I'm there it means stocking up time! So naturally, I had to get one of my favorite serum. This is a repurchase for me. I had one half off and one as a free gift! YAY :) 

Spicy Vanilla Shower & Bath Gel | Anything vanilla speaks to me. This one smells delicious and I cannot wait to try it during the holidays.

Organic Vanilla Shower Gel | I have the body mist of this and I adore the smell. I wanted to buy a full size body wash to try it, but the girl at the counter told me I could get a free small one of various scents, so I took this one.. of course!

Free bracelets & a coin gold and black bag, samples of Sebo Vegetal Mattifying Gel Cream & comme une Evidence perfume

Next up are the Fizzy bath cubes; I've been wanting to try one for a while, so I picked some up! I picked: Raspberry, Vanilla & Apple Delight! Can't wait to try them!! I'm gonna try one tonight, not sure which one yet... :) 

Hope you enjoyed looking through my haul! If you love Yves Rocher as much as me, please feel to let me know your favorite products in the comments! :) xx

Roger & Gallet - Fleur de Figuier Ultra-nourishing oil

Hi beauties!

Today, I'll be talking about a new product: Roger and Gallet Fleur de figuier Ultra-nourishing oil*. This is the newest launch from Roger and Gallet - I have never tried any of their products, but after trying this one I really want to try more.

So, basically, this is an oil for the body and the hair. 96% of the ingredients are from natural origins. It has a great smell! This oil has some fruit oils such as grape, pomegranate, black currant, apricot and sweet almond.  It is rich in omega 6 and antioxidant vitamins A and E. It isn't sticky and doesn't take long to absorb. Your skin will feel very smooth after using this. Your hair will be shiny and soft after using this. For the hair, it is suggested to spray the oil in your hands before applying it to your hair, and apply it more on the ends - be careful, if you apply too much it could be too heavy on the hair.

I apply this after getting out of the shower/bath on my skin and it makes my skin so soft and smells wonderful - the smell makes me so happy! Also, it makes my skin look really healthy. I think the packaging is super cute and fancy. It looks very luxurious. It is actually a glass bottle. The back of has a pretty illustration.

Overall, I recommend it, it's a great product - it smells great, has a lovely packaging and makes your skin and hair look great. Just don't apply too much on your hair as it could be a bit heavy.

Check out this product by clicking here.  Also,  Escentual.com is offering a 1/3 off of Roger and Gallet throughout the month of August.

Avène Soothing hydrating serum

Lately, I've been having problems with very dry skin. Escentual.com were looking for some bloggers to review the Avène Soothing hydrating serum*. This product seemed like the perfect product for my skin type so I contacted them right away! I'm so happy I got to discover this product cause it works wonder for my skin type.

Having dry and sensitive skin - this is the perfect serum for me! But it works with all skin types. This serum has a silky gel-like texture and soothes and moisturizes. I've been using the Avène Soothing hydrating serum* for the past two weeks and my skin feels more smooth, hydrated, soft, refreshed and less dull.

This serum is highly concentrated with Avène's Thermal Spring water which help soothe and calm irritated and deshydrated skin. Also it very easy to work with - sinks right in and doesn't feel greasy and sticky.

For the packaging, I love that it comes with a pump and the packaging itself looks classy. It has a light smell that is not too overpowering.

I've been using this for the past two weeks, and my skin is feeling hydrated, smooth and less dry. Usually, I apply this after my cleanser, and then I apply a moisturiser. I would surely repurchase this and I'm very tempted to try other products by Avène, especially their Eau thermale!

If you have dry and sensitive skin I would highly suggest the Avène Soothing hydrating serum. Escentual is a great place to get French skincare brand like Avène, La Roche Posay and Clarins.

Weekly loves

Hope you're all having a great March Break! Let's not talk about how it's almost over. Ah! :( Oh well, next thing, it'll be Summer Break, so that's great!

This week, I haven't been experimenting with makeup that March break. I was trying to focus more on skincare and haircare.

First off, I've been loving my latest lipstick Maybelline's Born With It that is a nice pink nude with a bit of shimmer and a bit frosty. It's similar to MAC's Angel but a bit lighter! Here's a swatch of Born With It:

I have also been loving my "It's a 10 miracle leave-in plus keratin treatment". If you're not familiar with It's a 10 product, it does 10 beneficial things for your hair. After shampoo and conditioner, on towel-dried hair, spray this all over your hair and comb through. I've noticed a difference every time I've used it on my hair.

I have been LOVING my skincare product from Yves Rocher in Hydra Végétal. I only have 3 products of that line and I can't wait to get the rest of it! :) Hydra Végétal is a great line for people that are missing hydration/water in their skin. 

I do this routine every morning and nights. 

First things first, I would clean my face with a cleanser or scrub. Then, I use the serum in Moisture Boost Concentrate (which I'm almost out, sadly.), while the serum is drying I apply the Fresh Gel Undereye bags. When the serum is dry, I apply the 24H Intense Hydrating Gel Cream.

So that is basically my skincare routine lately! My skin is moisturized and less dry since I've been using the Yves Rocher Hydra Végétal skincare line. I have discovered Yves Rocher lately and cannot wait to try more of the Hydra Végétal line and other products in general!

Top 5 of 2013 - Skincare

Hi lovelies! Hope you're all having a lovely week! Today, I'll be looking back at what saved my skin in 2013. Throughout 2013, I've been having trouble with dry skin and a bit of acne. So let's see what has helped me!

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution - I don't I have to talk much about this one, because every bloggers raves about it! It's a makeup remover that removes ALL of your makeup, and cleanse so your left with a fresh face and no makeup at all.

Origins Drink Up 10 minute mask to quench skin's thirst - When I went to the Sephora to purchase this, I was looking for the overnight mask, but it wasn't available. The lady suggested me this one: 10 minute mask to quench skin's thirst. It works wonder! Anytime you have dry skin, this will help. Put it on, wait for 10 minutes or more (I always put it on for more than 10 minutes or use it overnight as well), then rinse it off. This smells like apricot, which is wonderful smell. The tube might seem small but it will last forever.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Serum - 2013 has been the year that I have been trying out more skincare. The Body Shop is one brand that I recently truly discovered (thanks for blogs), and been loving. The Body Shop isn't that expensive and has great stuff. This serum is described as a pre-moisturiser. It's a great product for people with dry skin that get rids of dry patches. Plus, it sinks in quickly and isn't greasy.

Freeman Refining Facial Cleanser - This leaves my skin looking fresh, feeling super soft while fighting off acne. The smell of this is amazing - smells like pears. This is hands down one of the best cleanser. It will improve your skin texture and balance your skin. It is a very gentle cleanser as well. Hopefully it's not discontinued cause I rarely see it.

N7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Balm - This a great cleansing balm that leaves face super soft. This balm has a light and lovely scent to it. Leaves dry skin feeling smooth. It removes all make-up as well.
