Beauty hors d’oeuvres: No. 1 de Chanel – a new eco-responsible range with revitalizing Red Camellia Extract

March 24, 2022 Paris B 27 Comments

A new product range from any brand always gets me a little excited. This more so, when it’s from a big luxury brand in the market like Chanel. Most luxury brands are a little more set in their ways, and a little slower to change, so when No. 1 de Chanel was launched, in a rather low-key manner in early 2022, like a whisper through the world of beauty, I was intrigued.

No. 1 de Chanel is a rather compact range for now, with a focus on the skin, in the form of skincare and minimal makeup, and scent – what Chanel is well-known for. I’d be curious to see if it expands further! 🙂

I was fortunate to be given a little insight into some products in the No. 1 de Chanel range. However, if you’re curious about the skincare products in the range, and whether they are something you might like, keep reading – I might make it worth your while 😉

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Natura Kaiak Oceano Fragrance – cleaning up the oceans makes scents!

March 22, 2022 Paris B Leave a Comment

One of the first things I was told about Brazilian brand Natura, when I was first introduced to it, was that they are proud of their fragrance range. Apparently, Brazilians love fragrance! And being a Brazilian brand, Natura embraced that love, and developed a range of affordable fragrances that you can purchase at their store and online.

A recent addition to this extensive fragrance range is the Natura Kaiak Oceano fragrance. I broke my self-imposed isolation to go to the store to have a look, because despite advances in technology, we still can’t smell through our computer or mobile screens.

I used to be quite partial towards oceanic scents when younger. There was something about the clean, slightly salty tang of oceanic fragrances that attracted me. I was curious to see if the Natura Kaiak Oceano fragrance might remind me of that 😀

3 ways I use the Rosken Skin Repair Dry Skin Cream to soothe and repair dry skin

What do you reckon you can do in 30 minutes?

Make a sandwich? Cook a quick meal? Repair and soothe dry skin?

It’s that last one that I’ve found myself needing more now, because dry skin is something that’s beginning to plague me not only on my face, but over the body as well. This more so, on my hands, which are now more exposed to washing, cleaning detergents and sanitizers.

Rosken Skin Repair is a brand not unfamiliar to me. My dad swore by it for healing cracked heels in the past, so when the opportunity arose for me to revisit, I was happy to! 🙂 Here are 3 ways I use it.

Have dry or mature skin and on a budget? Try the Pixi Rose Ceramide Cream for nourished, soft and supple skin

I’ll preface this by saying that if you have dry skin, like I do, you will absolutely LOVE the Pixi Rose Ceramide Cream, and its friendly price-tag!

I don’t say this lightly, for I must admit to not having high expectations when I first tried this, after finding a tube in my skincare stash.

To me, a moisturizer that is labeled an ‘intense moisturizer’ must come in a tub. I mean, it is intense right? That means it must be heavier in texture right? That means in should come in a tub, not tube, right?

WRONG!

And I’m never happier to be wrong! 😀
