>> Hi and welcome back,
as you can see I'm in full Christmas mode
not only here at home but also on my blog
This year I decided to go big
and from the 25th of November until the 24th of December
I will upload a new Christmas related post everyday.
So if you are looking for ideas to decorate the tree
to wrap your presents in a creative way
to find the right present for everyone without spending too much
and much more I suggest you to visit my blog
because there are a lot of projects waiting for you
and many more are coming
the link is in the infobox below.
Today's video is not exactely Christmas related but
it's about my monthly favourites products
November is over and here it comes my video.
Anyway you could even find some presents ideas among my suggestions.
As usual I'll start with my beauty favourites sharing the ones I loved the most and some I didn't really like
So if you are ready I think we can start.
The first product I would like to talk about is by Caudalie.
I already talked about this french company in my October favourites video and apparently the passion didn't fade
In fact I also fell in love with their body scrub, the divine scrub
Which is 97% composed by natural ingredients
and it's amazing for the skin which feels reinvigorated, softened and deliciously scented
right after the fist use.
It must be used on moist skin and thanks to the add of sugar crystals
and essential oils of argan, ibiscus, grape and sesame
smooths and softens the skin making it smell heavenly.
I used it once a week in the shower
by rubbing it in and then rising it off
and I fell in love with it.
It costs 24.60 euros
and you can find it in the shops who sell Caudalie
or directly on their website
As usual on my blog you'll find the direct link in case you should be interested.
The second product is a face cleanser
It's Herborist silky mousse
I particularly liked it because it has a soft texture
which makes it easy to apply and perfect to use with vibrating brushes such as Clarisonic Mia
It soaks in and removes all impurities
and it leaves the skin fresh
without drying it.
A bit is enough to deeply cleanse
it costs 21.90 euros
and you can find it at Sephora's in the stores and online.
The last skin care product for this month is Strivectin dark cirlces corrector
The get even dark circles corrector.
I'll start by saying that a small amont is enough to get a good result
it quickly soaks in and the area immediately feels replenished.
As you can see the package is quite small and it contains
15 ml of product
and it's a bit expensive
as it costs 46.90 euros
but as I said you just need a bit
I used it twice a day throughout November
and I've still got plenty of it
and it really works
It's not miraculous because as you can see my dark circles are still here
but it works on all kind of dark cirlces
and it reduces the puffiness
So if you suffer with this kind of problems too
I suggest you to try it because vene if it's not miraculous
it's quite effective
more than other products of the same kind.
You can find it at Sephora's in the store or online.
This month make up section is quite rich
because for my birthday, which was on the 10th of November,
I received some products as a gift
together with an amazing Sephora gift certificate which allowed me
to buy something more than usual.
Let's start with this foundation
Make up Forever Mat velvet +
I bought it because I heard some positive things online
especially for combination to oily skins like mine
and I wasn't disappointed.
It's oil free, waterproof and the coverage is amazing
as much as the duration
and the mattifying effect is perfect.
Moreover thanks to its fluid texture is really easy to apply.
It costs 40,00 euros and you can purchase it at Sephora's.
Let's move on to a bronzer, it's Hoola by Benefit
I have to say my skin is very pale
and in winter as you can see it becomes deadly clear
so a good bronzer is a must-have for me
I tried several ones but this Benefit one is by far my favourite.
The packagin is really lovely
As you can see the products is contained in this cardbox
handy to use and thanks to the small size
it's perfect to carry around for the touch ups.
It's supplied with a tiny brush
and it instantly gives a natral glow to the skin.
It costs 32.90 euro and it's the perfect product to add some glow to your face
during the grey winter days
and you can buy it at Sephora's.
The third product from this month make up section
it's an eyeliner
It's Sephora's new astucieux eyeliner
Which, as you can see, has this innovative and ergonomic packaging
which makes it really easy to apply the product.
Moreover thanks to the felt tip
you'll be able to draw very defined lines.
It has an intense dark colour
and the duration is really good.
It costs 12.90 euros and if you haven't yet I suggest you to try it
Obviously you can find it at Sephora's.
Now I would like to talk about Zoeva's make up brushes
In my October favourites I already suggested some products by this german brand
and I also told you I purchased some brushes
but I need some more time to share my thoughts on them
And here they are in my November favourites because I loved them
I bought a face set containing 6 brushes
and I paid it 46.00 euros
which in my opinion is a very good price
because they are amazing.
They come in this plastic bag which is very handy
and they are super soft
so they are perfect on the face
they don't loose bristles
and it's a lovely set because it contains all the basic brushes
for a good face make up.
So it's also a good Christmas present idea.
You can find them on Zoeva's web site and if you are interested
on my blog you'll find the direct link.
It's time to speak about a product I didn't like
It's Rimmel's Scandal eyes retro glam mascara
which is described as perfect to create the extreme 60ies lashes
but it's a very disappointing product.
It's very thick and hard to apply
the lashes stick together and look heavy
and it easily smudges, it's the classic product to forget.
This month I fell in love with Essie Liquorice nail polish
which as you can see is a black colour with some purple shades
which make it elegant and bold at the same time
and I think it's perfect for this season.
It costs around 12.00 euros and you can find it the stores which distribute the brand
or in Sephora but unfortunately not online.
The second product for the nails section is Sephora gel effect top coat
which with only one coat makes your nails shine and look perfect
just like after a professional manicure.
It costs 4.90 euros
so a very good price
and I suggest it to everyone who likes to sport a perfect manicure.
To eliminate the annoying post blow dry or hair straightener frizz effect from the hair
the perfect product is John Frieda Frizz-ease serum
This serum is a valid heat protector
it makes the hair shiny and avoids the frizz effect.
A package contains 50ml of product and costs 17.90 euros
You can find it in all the shops which distribute the brand
among which also Sephora which unfortunately doesn't offer it for the online sales.
Anyway I made some researches and I found it on Douglas web site
so if you are interested you'll find the direct link on my blog.
I'll finish with another product I didn't like
It's Big sexy hair volumizing dry shampoo
I'll start by saying that this brand is very hard to find here in Italy
it's possible to buy it online and after some reasearches I found a site which sells it.
This because I heard some of the beauty gurus I follow speaking about it in a super positive way
but unfortunatey I hated it.
It leaves a white patina on the hair which is really hard to remove even with the comb
and the hair look awkward and not at all natural
The volumizing effect is real
but it's the only positive thing in this product which is generally very disappointing
and not worth the price.
So my dear Big Sexy Hair volumizing dry shampoo
farewell to you.
