If you are among those who could not wait to arrive in autumn to get under the soft blankets to enjoy hot chocolate and hugs, after too long, too hot and sweltering summer days even to walk, now you can do it deeply wrapped in your preferred soft scars or if you are among those who prefer the crunch of leaves under your feet like a red/gold carpet or among those who have in them a little child jumping in puddles with both feet wearing the new boots or simply love the change and the need to immerse yourself in shopping, because tired of the summer and all things pertaining to that season and now need new new new… in any case this is the season that’s right for them. 🙂 Autumn has arrived and something that will help make it even more sweet and hot is this fragrance: Avon Ambre which is one of my favorites of this brand.

What I feel is quite good as beginning. After a few moments you smell the Mandarin with crisp texture and robust.

As it melts into the skin it becomes more delicate, soft and warm. Warms up gently in a comforting heat and quickly becomes one of your favorites like a joke from which you won’t separate.

Although in the list are the notes of rose i can not feel them, in my case it’s good news, because it is not one of my favorite scents in perfumes.

I feel the sweet jasmine and rosewood, which gives a high note and woody and slightly spicy, then comes the best part for me when emerge amber and warm and sweet caramel. Not too sweet and you will love it for the day and for the evening, because it is sensual and feminine.

I will be happy to use it in the course of this winter. 🙂

The smell lasts 4-5 hours (on clothes much longer) the sweet and hot at times when I wake up in the middle of the night, remind me what I wore.

Hand cream bi good

by // // No Comments

A cream i used this summer for hands is bi good, apricot cream, for dry skin.

bi good 1

On the sticker says it contains an extract from apricot seeds oil and elder flowers from a bio organic source.

I tried it because on the flyer bi good was written that is vegan, not tested on animals and only with ingredients of vegetable origin.

Free of:
synthetic dyes
perfumes
mineral oils
parabens
silicone
GMO

(it does not hurt the price is reasonable.)

The tube is made of 60% recycled material, simple, beautiful the design.

I liked its smell at first sniff.

It has a good very natural smell of fresh fruit, in the beginning looks too strong then its intensity dims a lot. 🙂 .

bi good 2

The cream texture is light, watery. It is easily spreadable and rapidly absorbed, leaves the skin hydrated. I like it a lot for the summer needs of my hands, texture wise and fragrance wise.

During summmer my hands are less dry so i can use this light cream but in the winter my hands mummify so i need more powerful creams. 😀

It has a resistant cap but being it made of light consistency i cannot risk to bring it with me in the bag or i would find myself with an apricot creamy bag, right now i see it coming out on the table where i left it open. 😀

Aqua Vita 24h Cream with almonds and chasteberries

Aqua Vita 24h Cream with almonds and chasteberries

This moisturizer is designed for extremely dry skin , is composed of 98 % natural ingredients.

 

Dermatologically tested.

Contains no parabens, silicones, propylene glycol, mineral oil, PEG, and ethanolamines.

 

 

What does it contain:

chaste tree – increases the moisture and firms the skin,

oats, soy lecithin – provide and maintain long-lasting deep hydration,

almond, olive oil – nourishes the skin,

Olive polyphenols – provide a powerful antioxidant effect and protect the skin from damaging environmental influences,

infusion of green tea (instead of water) – increased antioxidant activity.

 

 

 

It comes in a 50 ml, clear, glass jar with a hard plastic cover, below which is a protective film, to make sure that your fingers are not the first to arrive to the creams.
Everything is done in two of my favorite colors, black and light blue.

All in all for me quality and aesthetically appealing.

 

 

 

This cream I use every day, morning and evening, on the previously cleansed skin of the face and neck.

Enough dense texture, a little difficult to spread and to make the skin completely soak up should be gently massaged a few moments. Not greasy, sticky film on your face and the feeling that slight heavier creams are needed for dry skin to put on your face is completely lost for about fifteen minutes and all you feel is the freshness and overall pleasant sensation on the skin.

The skin remains moisturized all day, I do not have a sense of re-tightening and discomfort after a few hours or the appearance of fat radiation (which is not so common in my skin). The smell feels natural, not too strong, I feel it for a long time but I do not mind, which is a big plus because I hate the strong odors of various cosmetic products, which we know cause literally tears, even when people around me are using it. 😛

 

 

 

I’m very pleased with this cream but we did not start with the right foot 😀

The first few applications on the driest skin, where there was some little scale, for a few moments I felt pretty uncomfortable burning sensation. On the skin there were no signs of irritation, redness but I am like an alarmist, I was ready to stop from further use.

The next few times the tingling is gone but my skin did not seem sufficiently nourished. Even the little they saw dry parts and occasionally I felt the tension. Then in the following days appeared a couple of pimples, and then when I was fed up and I was already looking for another cream all calmed down.

I have to admit that if it was not a cosmetics brand that I consider good, quality wise and natural (and that’s a bit expensive, I would have regretted to immediately throw it away :)) i would’ve probably given up earlier.

 

 

Now after about a month and a half of use I am very satisfied with the condition, there is no burning, irritation, feelings of tension, fluttering.

For hydration using just her. I have a feeling that my skin looks fresher, smoother and tighter. Perhaps because of the cream and maybe because my little baby let me sleep a little 🙂

The cream may not suit me when it warms up a little more but it’s great.:)
