April Favourites | 2015

And here I am, writing another 'favourites'...

BEAUTY/SKINCARE

Vichy Normaderm Purifying Astringent Lotion - I've talked about this green lotion in my 4 Products I Can't Live Without post. I loved it then, and I still do (I also bought a new one - that says a lot!)

Nuxe Comforting Cleansing Milk for Face, Eyes and Lips - I LOVE LOVE LOVE Nuxe. I discovered this brand last summer and there's no product that I've tried from them that I didn't enjoy. I use this cleansing milk when I have to take make-up off - it really works well for eye make-up: I'm currently using the L'Oréal Miss Manga Punky mascara and it is quite challenging to take off. The micellar water does absolutely nothing, instead, this cleansing milk removes everything from my eyes/eyelashes! 

Avène Hydrance Optimale UV Légère - I have never thought that I would ever like/use a moisturizer with SPF, but here I am, loving this one from Avène. The thing that I like the most about it, is that within 10 seconds, it's completely absorbed. 10 points to Avène.

Korres Lip Butter in Pomegranate - I gave this to my mom for her birthday and I couldn't not try it. We both love it, it's super creamy and moisturizing. 
I also gave her the Mango one, but we didn't try it yet.

Dior Hypnotic Poison Eau de Parfum - the sample is almost over, now I need the 50ml in my life. 

Last but not least, there are the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush (click), which I am loving way too much, and the Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer, that kindly covers up my dark circles.

JEWELRY

The necklace is from Accessorize, and let's have a big round of applause for me that for the first time, I didn't buy a long necklace.

Up in the Hills

My family and I went to a trattoria up in the hills, yesterday, and it was such a lovely day - except for the rain. Taking photographs when it's cloudy is one of my favourite things: bad weather = good photography, but when the rain starts pouring I am the opposite of happy.

Benefit - The POREfessional

I know, I'm always late, but I did it: I finally bought the Benefit POREfessional. Woop-woop!

I join the mass saying that it does what it promises to do: it minimizes pores, makes your skin silky smooth and helps the foundation to last longer. My only complaint, except for the price (this one was 10.90€ for 7.5ml - the 22ml was 34€ and the 44ml was 57€), is the fact that, on my nose, it really emphasizes my dry skin. I do apply moisturizer before it, but the problem stays. I don't understand why, because in other areas of my face I don't have this problem. 
Other than that, it is a really good product!

Back to... Vans

I bought my first pair of Vans back in 2011: Vans Era Navy Blue. I loved them and I destroyed them (I mean, there's a hole right where the right big toe is). Then, in 2012 I bought these Vans Authentic and I still don't know what color they are. Some say 'chaussures bordeaux' and some 'biking red'. And now, here's to my third pair! White, so you can not see the dirt.
