PEAU ETHIQUE'S ORGANIC LINGERIE

I am as fond of lingerie as cosmetics beauty products, that is to say! Organic lingerie has always intrigued me, however, it never particularly attracted me. The fault is the lack of pep, color, originality and glamor of its cuts. It must also be admitted, the prices were far from being given. In recent years, things are settling, beautiful organic lingerie is finally starting to appear, at more reasonable costs.

On the Ecofeminin website , it is written that: wearing organic lingerie is a way to reduce the ecological impact of your clothes, but also to promote the economic independence of local producers. We do not feel guilty, however, if it is true that organic lingerie is booming, the choice of brands and models is still limited.

Nevertheless, I had a visual crush for Peau-Ethique , a French brand established for 8 years, which offers a line in 100% organic cotton for the whole family (lingerie, tights, socks, bodies, pajamas, boxers ... ). The Skin-Ethics range is comfortable and ethical out of respect for the environment and follows the principles of fair trade for the respect of Man! I will only attach myself to her lingerie…

Skin-Ethics indeed offers organic cotton lingerie in turn, classic, charming, sensual, colorful, girly or retro. But also, a brand new high-end line in natural and peaceful silk as sexy as glamorous. Make way for a few models…

WHERE TO FIND THE SKIN-ETHICAL BRAND ?

The products are distributed in France and abroad in organic and specialized stores as well as on thePeau-Ethique online store. The full list of points of sale can be found here.

MY TOP 3 MOISTURIZERS FOR WINTER

This winter (like every season in fact), I tested a number of creams, balms, butters and milks. If I had to remember only three, it would be these ...

 

I was already talking about Palmer's Cocoa Butter! No ... it's not an obsession. Each winter, I am drawn to the body care products in this range. This year, I found this butter even more effective, hydrating and nourishing than the other years. My skin was bright and mega soft. Why ? The combination of gourmet, tasty and maxi nourishing shower gels from the Cottage brand has helped, I think, to multiply the qualities of Palmer’s Butter . And then, I always remain a fan of its melting texture and its smell of cocoa ...

 

In recent months, I have made quite a few drums. I must also say that I bought raw materials at Aroma-Zone . There have been successes like a few failures ... Among other things, I amused myself by concocting many jars of Ô-Délice Chocolaté butters(the recipe here ). I made some variations by adding sweet aromas and a good dose of Gold micasfor a sparkling effect. These colored my preparation but, the glitter effect on my skin is extremely discreet, almost imperceptible. On the other hand, the chocolate flavor is even more exquisite, the hydration is there (when the temperatures fluctuate above 6 °). The skin is nourished, sublimated, hydrated and appetizing ...

 

I promised myself (right there ) that I would no longer buy the not super clean version in terms of the ingredients of Greenland body butters. How weak the flesh! I went back to the store and gave in to the Pamplemousse Gingembre fragrance  . Yep, I had to abdicate because, in addition to being on sale, these butters (based on Cocoa and Shea) that do not look like they are really very effective in softening, hydrating and nourishing (without leaving a greasy film) the skin. As they say: they do their job well! These products work wonderfully to protect and soften the epidermis from winter cold. The citrus scent is delicate with all the same, a small industrial aftertaste.

BACK TO THE GLOSSYBOX

 

The GlossyBox of last December, called Eves Our Beauty had all the air of THE Christmas gift. Several combinations were delivered to subscribers. I more than appreciated mine.

In my box, were comfortably installed 5 beauty products with a bonus , a mini file and a mini nail clipper. They landed directly in my makeup bag. As a fan of the Payot range , the Essential Make-up Remover (1) enriched with Shea butter and Jojoba oil, presented in a pretty bottle (75ml) I necessarily liked… The Baby Jet mascara (4.5ml)  by Daniel Sandler (2)frankly, I was taken aback because, his brush of absolute finesse does not allow me to properly work my eyelashes. Not having bleached hair (who knows maybe one day?), I put aside (you never know) the shine- enhancing shampoo (50ml)  Okara Protect Color by Furterer (3) . The makeup fixer by Jean d'Estrées (4) is a light spray (50ml) that allows you to fix makeup for the whole day. I haven't tried it yet… The face cream (15ml)  Formule 06 Prescribed Comfort by My Blend (5) , formulated for dry and sensitive skin perfectly matches my specificities. Already using a cream, that of My Blend will be tested later.

 

In the context of future posts, I will return to several beauty products from the most poetic box, Midsummer Night's Dream .

 

To subscribe to GlossyBox , it's here . Note, new advantageous formulas have been put in place, men also have their own box and, you can now send a GlossyBox as a gift, completely personalized.
