Foot Cream - Eucerin UreaRepair PLUS Foot Cream 10% Urea + Ceramide and NMFs Review

Hi dear!

Today I will review a great foot cream. If you have very dry and problematic feet please read, maybe this cream can alleviate your situation.

In my case I have very dry feet, so dry that they also prick and peel off. This is not a good condition. I tried a lot of creams but they do not solve my problem. And if you have something similar I'm sure you know how it is difficult to find out the right cream...

 Finally I tried this one.

This simply works from the first application!

It hydrates a lot skin and it partially prevents the accumulation of keratin. No itching after its use.

This cream is very good also for cracked and dry heels. It is important to apply it every day, constantly. Moreover I read that this cream is suitable for those with Xerosis, Psoriasis, Diabetes and mature skin. Also for adjunctive care.

After 1 month I noticed that the skin has started to restore its barriers. So now I apply this cream every 2 days.

The tube contains 100 ml so will last more than 1 month. It is a question to use a little quantity constantly.

It costed me more than 10 € but it is worth spending this money because the benefit in this case has no price!

My rating:10/10

Babaria After Sun with Aloe Vera - Review

Hi dear!

Last year I bought a sun protection oil and together it I got this after sun by Babaria.

I will starting saying that this aftersun has a wonderful perfume, it is refreshing and hydrating. In other word it makes its work very well!

The bad point is that it contains parabens... and lastly I prefer to avoid them and to study more the case..

So I finished the bottle but I will not buy it again.

What a shame because the product is very good in my opinion.

Aqua (Water), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Steareth-2, Dimethicone, Isopropyl Myristate, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Steareth-21, Stearyl Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Bisabolol, Allantoin, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Carbomer, Cetyl Alcohol, Parfum (Fragrance), Sodium Methylparaben, Citric Acid, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, BHT, 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane- l,3-Dial, Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ben-zoate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Sulfite, Limonene, Linalool, Geraniol, Hydroxycitronellal, Citronellol, Citral.

Almond Oil - Natura Femme Aceite de Almendras con Olus Vegetales

Hi dear!

Lastly I use to produce my own facial cream by mixing aloe vera gel and almond oil. The quantity of oil is such in order to obtain a creamy finish. I prepare little quantities in order to finish them properly. I apply this cream in the evening after a deep cleaning. 

It is a very oily cream, of course, but I saw improvements especially in the elasticity of my skin and it is also hydrated for a longer time. It is not a good idea to apply this cream in the morning because it very oily.

This almond oil by Natura Femme is not bad.

I paid it about 5 €.

The bottle contains 250 ml...So a lot of oil. But I saw at Auchan also 1 liter bottle, in case you are interested!!!

My rating: 8/10

I will buy it again.

Anyway, let's see the ingredients:

Prunus amygdalus dulcis oil, Olus oil, Tocopherol.

Olus oil is a blend of natural triglycerides from 100 % vegetable origin, while tocopherol is an antioxidant.

That's all for today,

thanks for all the nice comments!

See you soon!

Face Mask - Kiehl's Cialantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Mask Review

Hi dear!

Time ago, when I reviewed these samples by Kiehl's, I anticipated you that I made a mistake buying a mask...well, this mask! This is the Kiehl's Cialantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defending Mask.

When I was in the shop the consultant says me that it is necessary a little quantity product for all the face, to wait 15 mins and then to remove the mask. 

On the bottle it is written to just remove the excess and leave a thin layer..

My experience: the consultant was right. It is better to remove *well* all the traces of product, maybe with a gentle tonic like the one by Yves Rocher. 

The point is that this mask is super greasy and even if you will remove the excess..your faces will remain greasy and sticky. This is not what someone want before going to bed...right?

So that's why I repent myself to not buying the full size of  Kiehl's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque..

Moreover, this mask badly interacts with solar exposure. I read that the mask contains alpha hidroxy acid that can enhance skin sensibility to radiations.. and it can favor sunburn!

So, I used this mask only in winter..

All considered I rate this product 5/10 because it is not the right product for me. The ingredients are good, see the list below.

Informations from Kiehl's.com 

This protective facial mask defends and replenishes skin to help reduce the visible effects of pollution.

Formulated with Cilantro and Orange Extract, our treatment mask helps skin feel strengthened against environmental aggressors while helping to prevent impurities from adhering to skin. 

With continued use, dull, unhealthy looking skin is renewed, radiant and protected.

How To Apply:

Apply a visible layer of our pollutant-defending face mask after cleansing and moisturizing.

Leave on for 5 minutes and tissue off.

Pat in excess, leaving a thin protective layer on skin to work overnight.

Recommended for use three times per week at night.

Face Cream - CREMA VISO RIEQUILIBRANTE ANTI-ETÀ “PURYSENS”

Hi dear!

I've almost finished this face cream by l'Erboristica and before forgetting everything I've to write down my opinion. First of all the packaging is very comfortable with the usual pump action bottle. It is very hygienic in my opinion. Now let's move to the content. The cream is dense and yellowish. The perfume is good but now that I'm at the end...this perfume has bored me. It is something like talc.

The cream it is easy to be applied but after its absorption if you continue to massage skin some residuals will form, all over. I absolutely hate when creams act like this. Usually it happens when they contain silicone. Let's see the ingredients list:

Aqua [Water], Glycerin, Coco-caprylate, Azelamide MEA, Niacinamide, Hydrolyzed soy extract, Ethylhexyl palmitate, Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, Butyrospermum parkii (Shea butter), Bakuchiol, Zanthoxylum bungeanum fruit extract, Betula alba leaf extract, Zinc PCA, Hedera helix (Ivy) leaf/stem extract, Macadamia ternifolia seed oil, Sodium salicylate, Sulfur, Camelina sativa seed oil, Arctium lappa root extract, Zinc ricinoleate, Tocopherol, Parfum [Fragrance], Oleyl alcohol, Olus oil [Olus], Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium gluconate, Limonene, Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, Phenoxyethanol, Linalool, Citral, Eugenol

As you can see it doesn't contain silicone and the ingredients list is not so bad. So I think that the residuals are caused by acrylate crosspolymer a powder added to cosmetics that creates the opacity effect. In effect this cream is specific for skins with impurities and leave skin opaque. Unfortunately my skin is not so impure and during the use of this cream some pimples appear all around my face. This suggest that this cream could be comedogenic, so I will not recommend this cream in case you have problematic skin or acne. It is also supposed to be anti age. What I can say is that my skin appears effectively more uniform. 

I paid this cream 8-9 euros, my rating is 6.5/10.

I was expecting something more from this cream. I will not buy it again for sure. Here some photos and more information: 

That's all for today,

thanks for all the nice comments!

See you soon!

Hi dear! Probably you are thinking, why the product on your photos is by Olaz and in the title Olay?! Well, Olaz is the Italian name of the brand Olay! Ah Ah!

Now, let's talk about this cream.

It promises many things but I will summarize briefly my experience.

I used it effectively as a night cream after the application of a serum. The applicator is very comfortable, practical and hygienic. The cream is absorbed rapidly and the perfume is very good too. Skin appears good the day after. My skin present less pimples and less impurities.

All considered a good cream. I will surely buy the full size.

Skin Care - Carrefour Q10 Serum Facial Antiarrugas Coenzima Q10

Hi dear!

Let's move to the serum I bought together with the contour eye cream by Carrefour.

This bottle contains 30 ml, which is good. (Well, I would have preferred 40 ml...)

The pump action bottle is very practical and permits to use the right quantity of product.

Like the contour eye cream, this serum is very nourishing. It is more liquid than the eye cream, so it is more hydrating in my opinion. It is necessary a little quantity in order to cover neck and face.

All considered it is a very good serum, better that the Nivea one. It contains less silicones for sure!

My rating:8.5/10

Price:about 9 euros

I will buy it again.

Here more photos and information:

It contains Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ubiquinone (q10

That's all for today,

thanks for all the nice comments!

See you soon!

Skin Care - Carrefour Q10, Crema Contorno de Ojos, Antiarrugas Coenzima Q10

Hi dear!

Today I will review this contour eye cream by Carrefour! I think this is a quite brand new product, since I found out the lunch offer of eye cream + serum for just 9 euros. A great price for the quality and quantity. I found this offer in Spanish Carrefour, I don't know if it is extended to other countries.

So, let's start with the contour eye cream. The quantity is 15 ml but since it is thought to be used near eyes only, it will last 3 weeks, using it every day.

It is very nourishing and the perfume is not strong.

Skin near eyes appears very good after the treatment, it is very soft, elastic and uniform. This cream is very comfortable and it acts well. 

My rating: 8\10

I will buy it again if I will find again the same offer, since alone it costs about 7 euros!

Here some photos and more information:

It contains Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ubiquinone (q10).

That's all for today,

thanks for all the nice comments!

See you soon!

Samples - Kiehl's Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque, Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash, Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque

Hi dear!
I'm back with another post of the series 'samples'!

Time ago, I've been in a Kiehl's shop where I bought a face masque and as gift I received some samples: 2 masques and 1 tonic.

Since Kiehl's products are quite expensive & specific I strongly suggest to try some samples before buying full size...Because I bought a mask and then I discovered that it was not the right mask for me.

Yes, because the right mask for me is this one below!

So let's start:

Turmeric & Cranberry Seed Energizing Radiance Masque

Invigorates & brightens skin's appearance

This mask is very good, it deeply cleans pores and after the treatment skin appears radiant! It acts also as a scrub since it contains cranberry seeds, but the effect is super gentle. After the treatment is a good idea to apply a good moisturizer.

In my case I apply the Calendula alcohol free toner also by Kiehl's, the result was perfect! Most importantly, skin purified and hidrated NOT sticky!

My rating: 9/10

Price full size 100 ml: 40 € 

I will buy the full size.

Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash

A highly effective cleanser for smoother, softer skin

I used this product for two applications, the foam is rich and dense. It dries a little skin. For sure the gel cleanser by Yves Rocher is more delicate and it does not leave skin dry.

My rating: 5.5/10

Price full size 230 ml: 30 €

I will not buy it, the price is too high for the quality offered.

Finally, the last product.

I'm so happy I didn't buy this mask!!!

Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque

Hydrated, healthier-looking skin by morning

Well, this mask has been a total flop. You have to apply it all over the face (avoid area near eyes). Then you have to remove the excess and go to bed...BUT this mask is tremendously sticky! Face will be sticky the following morning and the pillow..dirty too!

My rating: 4/10

Price full size 125 ml: 32 €

I will not buy it for sure! 

Thanks for your visit and all your nice comments,
 Kisses
