I'm not
the kind of person who spends hours in her bathroom, but a minimum of care is
yet necessary. This week, I spotted some quality beauty products, but as you will see, it's often
their pretty packaging that won me over. In fact, a cream in a pretty package is so much nicer,
though it is unfortunately quite rare. A nother factor is important in my choice : the scent of
these beauty products. A treatment that does not smell good is quite unbecoming for me

At last
! We've been talking about it for 6 years! Delphine Courteille is finally releasing her
products. She wanted innovative formulas, pleasant textures, harmonious fragrances and, to
top it all off, original packaging. Well, my friend was ra ising the bar a bit high and I could
recognized her conscientious & professional side , but I thought we would never see these
products! In reality, she was right, it was not necessary to make yet another hairline. I'm
already an addict : the shampoo for dry hair and the nourishing mask that smell of bitter
almond (you know like the little pots of glue from our childhood) but also the volumizing spray which, as its name suggests, is a drug !

Shine AND volume ! |

So here is an absolutely splendid line of cosmetics, Westman Atelier, it is graphic, pleasant to
the touch and simple: magnificent packaging! It's still not that complicated... so why is it so
often ugly and fussy ?! The range of stick foundation is incredible really weird if you can't
find your color and stick blushes too which are very handy. There is also a lovely little red
powder compact with four lipsticks from which you can make your own blend. They are also
excellent products, but I must admit that I was first attracted by their beauty ! They have
recently been on sale at the Bon Marché.

Glossier is another brand that understood everything in terms of packaging but in a very
different style ! Their hand cream is so pretty and original it looks like a toy ! They also
imagined blushes like little tubes of pa ints, it's just shiny & lovely !
|
 |

Unusual packaging |
 |

Too good the touch of red |

Very pretty, right ? |

You obviously know the Diptyque candles, which I often tell you about, especiall
y the small
travel candles that I particularly like. Well now there is also a Diptyque skincare line. It's been
around for a while, but I’ve just discovered it. Again, the packaging is simple in black and white
and goes very well in my bathroom ! And , if I tell you that all the skincare products smell great,
you believe me, don't you ?!

After
creams, serums and oils (if with all that, we don't become beauty queens...). Those of the
Seasonly brand also caught my attention because they are very cute. The oil is for the night,
the first serum is anti greyness (given the weather it can only be helpful), and the second
serum is quite hydrating. The y are full of natural products and the brand offers a subscription
to receive every three months three products that will have been recommended to you after a
little online diagnosis. The Marula oil too (tree from Africa) is miraculous and ultra effective
especially against aging of the skin, and for my greatest pleasure it is also excellent for hair !

When it comes to bees, I am not only interested but reassured. Since antiquity, we know the
benefits of these little insects. Of course, I couldn’t but be seduced by this whole range of treatments
made from Ouessant black bees ! And it is Guerlain, illustrious house that we all know about ,
that had the rich idea of offering this youthful repairing ritual composed of a Fortifying Lotion with royal jelly, an Youthful-Oil-in-Water and a Sérum Double R Renew & Repair. This trio
helps plump and repair your skin while giving it new radiance and firmness. The packaging is
also royal, hum... normal for bees !

After applying all forms of ointment, all we have to do is swallow a few food supplements and
there, normally, we should become real goddesses ! D+ For Care Laboratories offers a formula
to keep us looking h ealthy all year long with self tanning capsules made with beta carotene,
vitamins C and many other all natural ingredients. These capsules are to be associated with
repairing capsules for sensitive and irritated skin, again they are 100% natural and organi c.
Small detail in terms of packaging, the bottles are made of eco responsible sugar cane plastic
and 100% biodegradable. Not bad ! Finally, there are also small daily sticks to drink and have a
beautiful skin, beautiful hair and healthy nails.

I hadn't put on varnish for some time... Why ?
1- I was a little lazy.
2- I thought it wasn't ideal to always wear chemical polish on my nails.
3- I was really lazy.
And then I discovered Green nail polish : putting cotton and sugar cane on my fingertips
couldn't hurt. But what I loved the most is that these varnishes are especially shiny and the nail polish remover from the same brand doesn't stink.

Next week, I'll probably talk to you about fashion and the latest clothes I've spotted. But, hey,
until then, I don't know... anything can happen, and I might cha nge my mind. In the meantime,
I wish you a nice week and I look forward to seeing you next Thursday !
