THE NEW FACE OF DOVE

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BECOME THE NEW FACE OF DOVE?

My particular affection for the Dove brand ... One minute, did you know the Firming Bust & Decollete Cream-Serum as well as the Nourishing Milk with Shea Butter from Dove , which apparently has just taken over the shelves of large and medium-sized stores? I will have to look into this further.

Back on topic. Dove , the cuddly range of cosmetics, made me love its skin-friendly toilet rolls, its deodorants in fresh and fragrant sticks,  its hand creams but also and above all, its advertising campaigns featuring real women from everyday life. Remember, from 2004, Dovehas created an incredible buzz by using voluptuous, thin or skinny non-professional models, of all ages and skin colors to extol the merits of its beauty products. And I say respect.

This year again, from May 9 to July 3 , Dove is offering 4 of you the opportunity to become the muses of its next campaign in stores and in a major women's newspaper. To participate, go to http://www.dovedanslapeau.com . It will only take you a few minutes to post your best profile and answer 3 questions.

   

And if you are not among the 4 lucky winners, all is not lost either. The 24 "runners-up" finalists will not leave empty-handed. They will each receive a logo t-shirt and two Dove beauty products, namely: Visiblecare Shower Cream-Cream Firming Ritual & Body Milk Shea Nutrition .

CHOCOLATE YES BUT NOT IN TABLETS…

CHOCOLATE YES BUT NOT IN TABLETS…

                  

I take advantage of the Easter holidays to approach the gourmet theme of chocolate but, from the angle of skin care beauty products with the French cosmetics brand Sensation Chocolat Paris .

I'm like a chocolate fondue. Whether edible or cosmetic, I'm always up for it. Besides, scientific studies have shown that chocolate is excellent for health. Rich among others in polyphenols (flavonoids and tannins), oleic acid, caffeine, theobromine, phenylethylamine and magnesium, chocolate ist an anti-depressant but also an antioxidant and, a natural anti-stress. Only as always, all that is good is consumed in a reasonable quantity otherwise, beware of weight gain! Chocolate unfortunately does not escape the rule. Consequently, to consume unlimited chocolate without feeling guilty, we turn to all choco cosmetics . By dint of reading and good feedback on Sensation Chocolat Paris beauty products , I decided to present them to you and make you succumb.

As we have seen, from the taste point of view, chocolate, the main component of which is Cocoa, is full of benefits. In skincare, it does not lose its qualities in any way, provided that it has a large place. Indeed, cocoa is one of the best active ingredients to intensely hydrate dry areas but also to regenerate and protect them durably. Anti-aging and anti-cellulite , cocoa heals and enhances. Its healing and restorative properties allow the skin to regain its elasticity, suppleness, radiance and youthfulness*. Thus in 2005, the Sensation Chocolat Paris range that I would describe as accessible luxury, was born. It offers a sweet panoply of care for the face, body, bath, well-being and home. On the program therefore: hydration, exfoliation, relaxation, firmness, radiance, massage etc.

Sensation Chocolat Paris has succeeded in introducing into its compositions the maximum of natural active ingredients ( Cocoa Butter , Aloe Vera , Apricot kernels , Vegetable Glycerin , extracts of Cocoa beans ...), combining cocoa with colors, textures and gourmet fragrances. Who can then resist Milk Chocolate , Nectar O Chocolate , Fondant O Chocolate, O Chocolate Mousse , Hazelnut Insider Delight , so many designations that refer to the flavors of milk chocolate, hazelnut, white, orange and other delicacies? The design sleek and while transparency is really classy. Since 2008, Sensation Chocolat Paris products have been paraben-free , phenoxyethanol-free and have not been tested on animals.

It was a real crush that I had forSensation Chocolat Parisand in particular for facial care. It is so innovative and original to have developed a range of chocolate with various flavors, available in all its forms, in granita, foam, fondant, cream or milk. I intend to taste buying Mousse O Chocolate and a body milk in the coming weeks. And, I will come back to give you my impressions.

WHERE TO FIND SENSATION PARIS CHOCOLATE BEAUTY PRODUCTS  ?

If you stroll in the 11 th arrondissement of Paris, you will find the Rue Saint Maur (M ° Voltaire), the only shop Sensation Chocolat Paris. You can of course buy all the products in the range but also, benefit from body and face care provided by an esthetician. The end of the end, all the treatments are crowned with the tasting of a chocolate. There is even a chocolate bar where you can bite into 10 varieties of flavors.

The range is also available in beauty salons, SPAS, drugstores, boutiques in France, abroad and on the Sensation Chocolat Paris online store .

SATIN OILS AT ONLINE FASHION STORE

BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, WITH SATIN OILS AT ONLINE FASHION STORE!

I love the Monoï de Tahiti. Its fragrance, smoothness and virtues are a gift from Polynesian nature. It is used on the body, the face and as a hair treatment. It is also an effective post-sun treatment to enhance the tan, deeply nourish the skin parched by the sun and the sea.

Recently, I have become one with two 100% organic care oils (body and hair) with Monoï de Logona , a German brand of natural and organic cosmetics. One is scented withYlang-Ylang essential oil enriched with Jojoba oil , while the other is with Coconut . Monoï, mixed with my daily milk produces an incomparable satiny effect on the legs (which seem more tapered), the shoulders, the arms… In short, the body shines! I no longer have any unpleasant feeling of dryness on the forearms, for example, as can happen, even in summer. The skin is fantastically hydrated, nourished, softened and softened. Question of taste, the coconut scent, discreet like everything, remains my favorite. On the other hand, the simple fact that Logona added Jojoba oil to the essential oil of Ylang-Ylang, nourishes the skin even more. It's a little too muchfor me, more than perfect for dry to very dry skin . 

The price is frankly reasonable. I had to pay Biocoop, around € 7 for a glass bottle of Monoi oil.

The only drawback, if I can put it that way, is that below a certain temperature (24 °), Monoi oil solidifies. I have often happened in recent days to put the oil under hot water but especially in a double boiler. However, with the heat that set in prematurely, I am no longer required to do so. 

HIDE THAT LITTLE BELLY THAT I CAN'T SEE?

In anticipation of next summer, the female sphere is set in motion to "coach" us as best as possible and make us the most beautiful in skirts, dresses or shorts. The online women's magazine Cosmopolitan has looked at our bane: the swimsuit. Yes, by putting it on, it is difficult to camouflage our little can which we often deem unsightly (rightly or wrongly). In short, the journalist gives us good advice to hide it finely in all femininity and by being fashionable, thanks to suitable swimsuits! But as often in this kind of article, the models presented are thinner than thin and without the slightest physical defect (the fault with the play of light and Photoshop ). Consequence: when you have a real little belly (but not enough), how to consider being able to wear these swimwear? It would have been more illustrative to make the images coincide with the text. The slimming dictate is not about to stop ... The article can be read here .

 

Slimming Beauty Products

SHE PUTS US ON A DIET!

The last issue of the weekly  Elle (that of March 18) is a Special Kilos . Admittedly, anti-kilos, anti-cellulite, new dissociated revolutionary diet files… are the steadfast chestnut trees that have been squatting on women's magazines as summer approaches for decades. This time, She tackles this thorny subject, far from being frivolous for a good number of women, from the angle of "eating well", sport adapted according to its objectives, slimming beauty products (creams, oils, serums ) to choose according to his tastes and, cosmeto textile slimming (new phenomenon likely to bring an advantage). Finally, She offers light but tasty recipes from 8 great chefs. Nothing truly revolutionary but in the era of express and extreme weight loss practices, it is good to recall the essential notions and basic formulas that have never stopped working.

So, go on Dukan, Montignac diets, cabbage soup ... which do more harm to health than good and which guarantee in 90% of cases a weight gain greater than the pounds lost. The solution is to stop getting frustrated, enjoy your meals, eat healthy and play sports!

For further,She advises us to read the book This is not… a diet (published by Marabout) by Lylian Le Goff and Laurence Salomon.

COME SURF ON AFRODYTES

COME SURF ON AFRODYTES

                   

Today, I'm going to highlight Afrodytes , a site that brings together the opinions of black and mixed men and women on cosmetic beauty products (body, slimming, hair, organic, perfume ...) and hair salons.

I appreciate this site for several reasons. First, there are all the  cosmetic brands (or almost) existing on the market and at all prices. These range from Activilong hair care products , to Dior make-up , Clarins lip balms  , Yves Rocher skincare , Oenobiol slimming aids , Veet hair removal bands, hairdressing equipment ... Besides, the number of brands present is very impressive and, I also discovered quite a few!

Afrodytes is at the forefront of the latest innovations and I also think of the changing expectations of consumers, like organic beauty products which have their own category!

Finally, by becoming a member of the site, you too can offer a product or a hair salon . This is a feature that I have never tried before, but which I find very interactive.

Afrodytes is a space where you can not only give your opinion but also, discuss your beauty routine and learn from others, thanks to the forum .

The colorful and girly design , the clear and modern structure of the site are more attractive than a few years ago (yes, I have been used to Afrodytes for some time now). New features have emerged such as the geolocation of hair salons using a map and the comparison of beauty products in the same category using a comparison tool.

I would have liked a more detailed presentation of the products with the prices displayed, advice on use and the list of ingredients for each product (although this is the case for a number of them). Afrodytes is a site that does not deserve and which for me turns out to be a very useful guide as soon as I want to collect opinions on the reception (mega important) and the services provided by the beauty areas and hairdressing salons. Member comments are quite relevant. Some clients tell in great detail of their experiences, good or bad. Sometimes funny, sometimes scathing and often just for experimenting. Afrodytes, a site to place in your favorites!

ONLINE FASHION STORE FOUND THE SOLUTION TO HAVE DOE EYES

EUREKA, ONLINE FASHION STORE FOUND THE SOLUTION TO HAVE DOE EYES…

… It fits in 2 words: eyebrow kit. A few days ago I saw no use in acquiring it. It was an additional element which in my opinion would make me waste time but in addition, would not bring anything to the development of my look. Fortunately, I did not stay on my positions. This is how I agreed to test the mineral brow kit from Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics beauty products. It was a revelation.

Today I admit it, an eyebrow kit is far from useless because, it allows you to shape fuller, thicker and better drawn eyebrows. The contours are thus sharp and the final result will make you a distinguished woman.

The kit Youngblood is very elegantly presented in a magnetic rectangular box, fitted with a large mirror (this is very practical). It includes the essential elements for the beauty of eyelashes. You will therefore find: two shades of powder ; a slightly tinted wax used to fix the movement of the eyebrow for the whole day; a tweezers for eyebrow perfect plot at any time, a double-sided brush (a side brush and the other side beveled to apply powders). The kit is available in 4 shades .

Application of the Youngblood eyebrow kit.

Good news, you will get it for less than a minute (more easythan mascara)! Above all, it is of course advisable to have eyebrows plucked. Then, all you have to do is brush them with the brush. Then, for a better grip, with the ring finger, gently stretch towards the highest point of your eyebrow. You finish with the pause of the darkest color of the powder for the inside and, the lightest color for the contour of the eyebrow (in my case, I spread it on the tail of the eyebrow). Only small quantities are needed.

To keep the eyebrows in place, you can apply a little wax using the brush. I recommend it to you because, it fixes the makeup and gives it a touch of sophistication very very appreciable. I can assure you that the eyebrows are magnifiedfor the day and, that the beauty products take on a whole new look.

My impressions.

Currently, I no longer plan to go out without applying makeup with my  Youngblood (Dark) eyebrow kit . As far as I'm concerned, the fact that it is mineral has a lot to do with it. The presence of Soya (with hydrating power), Mica and Rice (precious aid to an application in optimum conditions of softness) is felt. Softness is omnipresent during application and even after makeup removal.

My eyebrows are highlighted , highlighted without ostentation with class and natural. They remind me of these Hollywood female stars of the 50s with the curved eyebrows provided, so perfect, almost unreal and, so well drawn. This kit is made for those who have a sparse eyebrow line, not very thick or, for those who wish to better structure their eyebrows for a majestic look, of femme fatale! Add the mascaras minerals from Youngblood and your makeup will presqu'irréprochable. Only the eyeshadows of the same brand will be missing, which have an intensity and hold more than exceptional. The ticket is coming soon…
