Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Unlock skin radiance with the new Cle de Peau Beaute Key Radiance Care Skincare

August 9, 2019 Paris B 7 Comments

I was recently introduced to the brand new Cle de Peau Key Radiance Care skincare range, which was quite interesting for me. I’d never used Cle de Peau skincare before this!

The Cle de Peau Key Radiance Care will be the basic skincare range, that addresses issues relating to skin radiance. What every woman wants right?

I haven’t yet tried it, as it’s just only been launched. But here’s a little beauty tidbit about it for you, in case it might be something you might be thinking of exploring 🙂

If red be the colour of energy and life, then it is most apt that the newly launched Mamonde Red Energy Recovery Serum comes in a striking red glass bottle.

The Red Energy range is a new range within the affordable Korean Mamonde brand. It presently features just one product – the Red Energy Recovery Serum, that is targeted at revitalizing the skin.

The products are by a newcomer in the market, Love Beauty and Planet. Love Beauty and Planet is a new personal care brand by Unilever, and is more than just about nice-smelling products.

It carries also an eco-conscious message, that we don’t see much in mass brands.

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Feed your skin the Murad Prebiotic Skincare power duo

May 1, 2019 Paris B 2 Comments

I don’t think you want to labour over another of my thesis-length posts today, so here’s just a (hopefully) quick beauty bite you can scan through.

Introducing a new range of products by Murad skincare, the Murad Prebiotic skincare range. I thought it was quite interesting, and you might too.

A few years ago, I’d noticed a slow but steady increase in brands introducing prebiotic or probiotic skincare. However, I had a bad reaction when ingesting probiotics (a post that still generates A LOT of discussion and interest), so I was a little wary. But I noted to a friend that it was a trend to watch.

Interestingly, the prebiotics/probiotics skincare trend hasn’t exploded as quickly as I thought it would. Perhaps, it’s more like a slow burn, that may only come to a head in the next year or two. Perhaps it will peter out. Who knows.

But Dr. Murad has gotten in on this trend, and I think that means something!
