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!

Kisses

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.

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!

I received this mini size (15 ml) because I bought the full size day cream in an Italian shop called Acqua e Sapone. Go there if you visit Italy because the prices are very good.

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.

My rating 9/10

Price for the full size: about 9 euros
