>> So, are you seriously saying that even July is over already?
Are you kidding me?
I don't know about you
but I feel like I celebrated the new year
just a few days ago,
but the calendar doesn't lie
we passed the halfway point
and we are largely over the middle of this year.
If you have an idea of where the past 7 months go
I would really appreciate it
because I have no idea!
Ok just give me a second to recover from the shock...
I guess I'll have to accept the unavoidable
and jump right into the new video about my July favourite products.
Let's start with an announcement
I decided that from this month on
I will divide the products into two sections:
beauty and NON beauty,
with a single video for each one of them.
This because I didn't want to overload you
with too much information altogether
and then, two video, double fun. 0:01:11.600:01:14.080 So with no further ado
let's get started with my July beauty favourites!
Before the holidays
it's essential to prepare the body skin
with some focused treatements.
The key words are: cleasing,
exfoliating and hydrating
and thanks to a friend and Amway seller
I found out the perfect set
which will allow you to better the look of your skin in few easy steps.
It's the Artistry Essentials Hydrating Botanical Spa,
a set made of shower gel
body scrub and hydrating butter,
all supplied in a usefull beautycase,
perfect to bring on holiday too.
I'll show you a picture
of the complete set
because I liked it so much that
I already finished some of the products
like the hydrating butter.
Nevertheless I wanted to review and suggest it
because it's really working.
Using these 3 products together on a regular base
will allow you to cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate your skin
not bad right?
The procedure, which you can follow at home in your shower,
it's really easy and effective.
The first step is to dampen the body
and apply the scrub
rubbing it lightly .
As you can see
the product is packed in an handy package
which makes the application easier.
The texture is pleasantly creamy,
and the exfoliating particles contained inside
softly and efficiently remove the dead cells.
After you finished rubbing on the scrub
you can rinse it directly in the shower.
The second step is to
cleanse the body with the shower gel.
We often don't care too much about body cleansers
but after using this one you will notice the difference.
As you can see the gel is clear
is has a light texture and a delicate perfume
and when you add water in turns into a soft foam
easy to rinse.
You skin will feel softer and deeply hydrated
right after the first use,
believe me!
Let's end the treatement
by applying the hydrating butter.
Unfortunately I cannot show it
because, as I said at the beginning, I finished some of these products
and the butter is one of them.
Anyway I can tell you that it's very rich,
but ont oily, it soaks in quickly
and it leaves the skin hydrated, soft and silky.
So, 3 products:
shower gel, scrub
and body butter
to use together on a regular base
which will give a new light
and beauty to your skin.
The set costs 47 euros
and as I said at the beginning is distributed
by Amway
and you can buy it either on the web site
or throught one of the sales persons on the territory.
If you are interested on my blog,
the link is in the infobox below,
you will find all the infos to get to the Amway web site.
Another Summer essential product
is a good face cleanser,
because the heat makes the skin oilier
so it's important to cleanse it efficiently.
During the month of July I used every morning
a product which adds to the cleansing action
a soothing and refreshing action.
It's the Yes to cucumbers
Soothing daily gentle cleanser.
Thanks to its gel texture is easy to apply
when in touch with water it turns into a delicate foam easy to rinse
and thanks to the cucumber and aloe vera extracts
as I said before it offers a soothing and refreshing action.
It's perfect for the hot months!
The price is convenient, a package like this
containing 95 gr
costs 10 euros and you can find it on sale at Sephora
on line too.
Moreover it is also perfect
to be used with Clarisonic Mia.
a cleansing tool I alread spoke about in several videos
which I think is really usefull and effective
and that it's finally on sale at Sephora's too!
So if you are interesting also for this product
you'll find all the details on my blog.
As last thing you've got to have a good day cream
My choice for the month of July was the Clinique Super defense SPF 25
Age defense moisturizer
in the combination to oily skins version.
The texture is really light,
it's easy to apply,
it soaks in quickly
and it offers a good protection against sun beams
because it's SPF 25
together with an antiage effect.
It's really the perfect choice for Summer!
The price is 44.90 euros
and you can find it at Sephora's , on line too.
For the first time in July
I decided to try a BB cream
and I chose Maybelline's Dream Pure.
I got interested because apparently
it was designed for the oily skins
and it also has an SPF 15.
Thanks to the add of salicylic acid
it offers an anti-blemishes and anti-bacterical action.
In the past years there has been a lot of talking about BB creams
and I shall say there are good reasons to love and to hate them.
Being tinted moisturizer creams
they hydrate and leave the skin perspire a lot more than a regular foundation.
On the other hand
being tinted creams
the coverage is quite light.
So I suggest you to check the pro and against on the base of your skin type
before you decide to use a BB cream.
Maybelline offers two shades
I chose the medium light one
because it suits better my skin tone
and on the packaging 8 benefits are listed:
conceals imperfections,
helps protect against the appearance of blemishes.
Let's stop here, for my personal experience I can say
that it actually conceals imperfections if they are not too evident.
About protecting against the appearance of blemishes
I don't know, I didn't notice substantial changes.
Oily-free, non greasy, pore minimiser.
Yes, it's not greasy and you can feel it right when applying it,
about the pore minimisation, well yes but not as much as a foundation.
Moreover if you have a really oily skin
it tends to be shiny quite quickly.
Clarifies the skin, conceals redness.
This is true.
Hydrates and smoothed the skin, this is 100% true.
It complements the skin tone and this is actually true too.
So, as you can see the majority of benefits listed,
at least in my experience, are true.
The hydration feeling is real, 0:09:00.05:09:03.570 and it doesn't break out as many foundations do
especially in the summertime
and I think this is due to the salicylic acid.
As you can see the texture is really light
it's easy to apply even without a brush or a sponge
and the price is interesting because a 30ml package
costs around 8.00 euros.
So, if you are looking for an easy to find product
at a reasonable price and which complements your skin
this BB cream is perfect.
If, on the other hand, coverage is important for you
I would suggest you to use the BB cream as a primer
as it leaves your skin perspire a lot more ,
and then top it with your foundation.
The second Make up product is again by Maybelline
and it's a mascara, the Colossal feline look.
I tried several Maybelline mascaras and I liked all of them.
The rocket, the falsie...
and I shall say I wasn't disappointed by this one either.
The peculiarity of this mascara is the bended brush,
which add length to the lashes, mostly on the outside,
giving the feline look stated on the package.
The price is around 10.00 euros
and you can find it in the majority of supermarkets.
I suggest it!
For this month nails section
I've got a nail polish which...surprise...is again by Maybelline!
It's the superstay 7 days
Ok I know the quantity of Maybelline's products in my video
increased esponentially in the past months.
The fact is that they are really easy to find
so it's easy to run into an interesting product
buy and test it
an usually I'm not disappointed.
That's what happened with this nail polish,
I was struck by the color, which I love,
The finishing is shiny,
it lasts a long time,
and it has a really wide brush
which makes the application quicker
because with a single stroke we cover the majority of the nail.
It costs 7.50 € and you can find it in the majority of supermarkets.
Well that's all for this month beauty favourites
I remind you that on my blog, the link is in the infobox below,
you will find all the details for the purchase of the products I spoke about.
and keep on following me because very soon
I'll upload the NON beauty favourites video too
with clothes, shoes, books and much more.
I wish you a lovely day and I will see you soon...ciao!
