Soap Bars - Atkinson Blue Lavander, Fine Perfumed Soap

Hi dear!
I'm back with a new review about a soap bar by Atkinsons, this is the Blue Lavender (Fine Perfumed Soap).
In terms of quality it resembles the Sandal Wood one.
But regarding the perfume..this lavender does not convince me. I have smelled better lavenders, like the one in the Eau de Toilette of the same brand...!
All considered is not a bad soap bar.
I used it for intimate hygiene and it is very delicate.
The price is about 2 €. It is a long lasting soap and produce a rich creamy foam.
My rating: 8/10 (for the perfume!)
I will not buy again this lavender soap.
Here some photos:






That's all for today,
thanks for all the nice comments!
See you soon!

Kisses

Eau de Toilette - English Lavender by Atkinsons

Hi dear! 
As you probably know, in summer I usually go to Livigno in Italy. Going there does not mean only good views, trekking and mountains but also...perfumes and make up! How frivolous I am! But of course it is important to make some gifts to ourselves sometimes!
This year I bought this Eau de Toilette by Atkinsons named English Lavender. Surfing in the internet I read that the brand Atkinsons of London is a British perfume house founded in 1799. The brand has been relaunched recently in 2013 after a period off the market. This Lavender fragrance is one of their best seller and one of the first fragrances to be launched by the brand.

Now let's talk about this fragrance. I bought the 75 ml version since bigger ones have not the spray. This is for me a problem so I opted for the 75 ml with spray.
The fragrance is very natural/fresh and not strong at all. If you are searching for a perfume that will give you just a touch of scent of lavender and clean in general, it is the perfume for you. It is fresh and relaxing. It is perfect for these summer days when it is difficult to wear stronger perfumes.
In conclusion I say that this Eau de Toilette is a good choice in order to have a touch of flowery freshness.
My rating: 7.5/10
Price: I paid it circa 17 €




English Lavender by Atkinsons is a fine and elegant fragrance made from an accurate selection of the best lavenders, blended together following the traditional English recipe.
Everyday English Lavender leaves you with a pleasant freshness and a feeling of natural wellbeing.








That's all for today,

Essential Oils - Lavender - Lavandula Officinals Oil

Hi dear,
since I am very interested in testing various kind of cosmetics,
I would like to start a new series on the blog,
where I show you which products I am currently using on myself.
It is not only a question of brand, the point I would like to focus on is the quality. 
So let's start this voyage with this Lavender essential oil I bought because I had terrible acarus punctures on my body!
My skin is very delicate and has reacted very badly to these punctures. 

How did I used this oil?
As an impact, I applied a pure drop on each puncture as this oil acts as a strong natural disinfectant . 
I have read on the internet that is not a good idea to use pure essential oils on skin, but lavender one is considered an exception, in the sense that it is very delicate.
By the way is always safer to test the oil on a little part of your skin.

Does it work?
The answer is yes! After two applications each puncture starts to deflate and the pricking to disappear.
Before trying this lavender I also tried some pharmacy products, without success. So this oil has resolved my problem!

The brand is Sapone di un tempo, an Italian brand!
I discovered this oil just for chance exiting a Carrefour in a shopping center; it costed me, as you can clearly see, 18.90 €, all over considered a good price for the quantity, 15 ml!

Final remarks: lavender oils works well also with pimples! I had to test it in this sense this week! 
I am very satisfied by this oil, the quality is very good and the scent is very pleasant and relaxing.



Some informations in Italian!

Additional informations from http://www.saponediuntempo.com/portfolio-item/bio-real-lavender-original-french/

Officinale Lavender or Bio Real Lavender is the most valuable variety for its fragrance. Essential oil is extracted by distillation of the flowering tops and has a fresh, floral, sweet and aromatic perfume.

The best quality lavender must be harvested by hand and it gives an essential oil of most valuable and most finely perfumed quality. Thanks its delicacy lavender is one of the essences that can be used for children.

Bio Real Lavender essential oil, like all Sapone di un tempo essential oils line, can be mixed with other oils, for a more specific result or particular problems.

Lavender Eye Make Up

Hi!!!
Here the look of today!







Near the tear duct I applied a matte dark rose. Under the eyebrows a pearl white and quite casually along the socket-line a bright matte lilac! Near the eyelashes I traced a very blended line with a matte bright Prussian blue and I created also a v shape to give some intensity to the sight.
Ok, today is an absolutely MATTE look!!!
Lastly in the inferior eyelid I applied a violet!



Summerizing:

EYESHADOWS:from the Light Impulse eyeshadow palette which belongs to kiko's Elegant Shades  Collection (here another make up where I used this palette); 

EYESHADOW BASE:the Advanced Eye Fix Primer by Elizabeth Arden;

MASCARA: the falsies volum'express by Maybelline;

EYE PENCIL: multiplay Pupa colour 02 (here another make up with this look);


Let me know your critic opinion about this look!

... Here a song for you!


Have a wonderful day!
...kisses...
Marghe
