Aloe Vera Gel - Hidro Aloe by Flor de Mayo puro 98% Review

Hi dear!
I'm back with a review about an aloe vera gel I'm using in this period. I will start by saying that the package with the pump is so easy to use and it dispenses the right quantity of product.

I'm using this gel for hydrating my skin after the usual cleaning.
It needs some time to be absorbed and if it is not well massaged it seems to have a film on skin. Maybe this effect is also due to the Acrylates/C10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer contained in its formulation.

Lastly appeared a lot of pimples on my forehead. I stopped using oils and I apply only this aloe gel. The situation is better now.

I paid this aloe vera gel about 7 €. The bottle contains 250 ml.
It has no perfume inside.
My rating: 8/10
I will buy it again.

What I read on floremayo.com

Formulated with 98% aloe vera from certified crops. With moisturising and soothing properties that provide the necessary nutrients for healthy skin. Ideal for after shaving, sun exposure or bites. It provides a feeling of relief and freshness. Continued use helps eliminate spots. Helps soften wrinkles naturally, lightens dark spots and other forms of skin pigmentation due to ageing or sun exposure. It is recommended to keep cold for a fresher sensation.

Shower Gel - Instituto Español Gel de Ducha Aloe Vera Review

Hi dear!

I'm back with a review of a shower gel I recently finished.

I'm talking about the Aloe Vera shower gel by the Instituto Español, a brand sold in Spain as can you imagine ;)

The bottle contains a lot of product.. 1250 ml!

It lasted ages and ages in my bathroom!

The good thing is that it is super delicate and hydrating.

It has a delicate perfume and the foam is rich and fresh.

The price was super convenient, if I remember well 1,5 €.

My rating: 8/10

I will buy it again.

Gel de Baño Urea - 10 % de Urea - Deliplus (Review)

Hi dear!

Lastly I've been in a Mercadona supermaket (in Spain) and I found this shower gel for dry skin. 
It contains 10 % of urea.

The price is just 2 € for 500 ml of product...
and believe me that the 'almost' same thing by Eucerin costs more than 10 €...

So, this shower gel by Deliplus is a great novelty in my shower routine. I recommend it to who, like me, has very dry skin. 

For the entire body is necessary just a little quantity of product, a spoon I would say. It produces a rich and creamy foam.

Skin after shower is soft and hydrated.

My rating: 10/10

The perfume is fresh, not too bad.

I will surely buy this gel again and again.

Note: what is urea? (information taken from here, click for reading the entire article)

Urea is a naturally occurring substance found in the surface layer of our skin, and it is an active part of our natural moisturising factor (NMF), which functions to keep skin hydrated, protected and working efficiently.

A healthy skin will typically contain 28 micro grams of urea per square centimeter a dehydrated, dry skin can see a reduction of as much as 50% and those with eczema as much as 80%.

Urea works in synergy with ingredients that create the molecular structure of the skin, such as lactic acid.

Combined, these two ingredients actively work to remove dead skin cells and substances from the horny layer, improving cellular turnover in the epidermis, helping to dramatically improve the water binding ability of the skin.

That's all for today,

thanks for all the nice comments!

See you soon!

Review Aloe Vera & Rosa Mosqueta Bio-Gel by Cactus Care

Hi dear!

I'm back with a review about a very interesting and versatile product I've almost finished (see below...). I'm talking about the Aloe Vera & Rosa Mosqueta Bio-Gel by Cactus Care, a brand sold in Canary islands in HiperDino supermarkets but also on the internet.

Aloe vera can be used for many purposes.

Here the list I read on the product and my comments:

Anti-wrinkle and indulgent. [I am using this aloe vera gel mixed with almond oil, creating my own facial cream. I noticed that my skin appear hydrated and smooth.]

Capillary Mask. [not tested in this way]

Swollen Legs and Feet. [not tested in this way]

Natural Deodorant. [Not tested exactly in this way, but I applied it on my armpits after shower and skin remains hydrated and soft.]

Aftersun and aftershave. [As an aftersun is perfect and as aftershave too.]

Few remarks: It is a great product but its absorption is quite slow. It can leave skin a little bit sticky after the complete absorption. The good thing: it has no particular perfume.

I paid it about 6-7 €.

My rating: 7/10

I think I will try new aloe vera gels to see if they absorb better than this one.

Here the ingredient list:

aloe barbadensis (aloe vera extract), glycerin, propyleneglycol, cucumis sativus (cucumber extract), methylsilanol mannuronate (read more here), rosa canina fruit oil (rose hips oil), peg-40 hidrogenated castor oil, ethoxydiglycol, carbomer, viola odorata (violet extract), triethanolamine, diimidazolidinyl.

Here some photos:

thanks for all the nice comments!

Review - Omia Dermo Gel eco Biologico Aloe Vera

Hi dear!

I' back again with a product that has been tested by mum, so I report here her experience using this product.

We are talking of a gel with an high content of aloe vera (90 %).

It can be used every time you want to hydrate skin and to treat delicate or problematic skin.

In our case, it has been used preferentially after shower for re-hydrate skin.

But we want to report that this gel has acted very well in calming pricking, in our case in the scalp area.

This is a cruelty free product, not tested on animals.

Here the ingredient list:

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Glyceryn*, Xanthan Gum**, Chondrus Crispus Powder (Carragenan)**, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Tatrasodium Glutamate Diacetate.

(*) Da Agricolutura Biologica (**) Origine Naturale.

The rating my mum gives to this product is good, since it is very versatile, it has no perfume and it effectively works!

The only point is that this gel needs time to be absorbed and it is better to apply it on wet skin. It is also a little bit sticky.

The price is about 7-8 euros

Rating: 7/10

Near Your Body Aloe Essence Bagnodoccia Rigenerente, Note marine ed estratto di Aloe Vera, Review

Hi dear,

today I will review this shower gel by Near Your Body a brand sold in the Italian supermarkets called Eurospin. I paid this 500 ml bottle about 1 €. 

The perfume is not strong nor chemical, the gel creates a rich foam if you use a wet sponge. It is necessary a small amount of product for the entire cleaning. Skin is soft and slightly perfumed. The ingredient list is not perfect (see last picture) but all considere

my rating is: 8/10

I will buy it again.

Face Gel Cleanser - HYDRA VÉGÉTAL Refreshing Gel Cleanser, Yves Rocher

Hi dear!

I'm back, finally, I've been away for a short holiday!

Today I have for you a review about this gel cleanser by Yves Rocher. This cleanser does not leave skin dry after its use and it cleans quite well. If you are wearing strong make up, it is a good idea to use a good micellar water before.

It costs circa 4€, so not the cheapest one you can find.

All considered, my rating is 7.5/10

I would buy it again.

Here some photos and more informations:

(From Yves Rocher website)

- Eliminates in-depth all make-up, impurities and excess of sebum 

- Leaves skin clean, comfortable and radiant 

Formula tested under dermatological supervision. 

Botanical-based ingredients: Maple Tree Sap, Organic Witch Hazel Water.

Have you ever tried these products?
Thanks for your visit and all your nice comments,
 Kisses

Violet Champagne Eye MakeUp + Swatches Malva n° 659 Efecto Gel by Deliplus

Hi dear!

I'm back with a look I created ages ago 

using a combination of two products 

that works very well:

the palette Wonder Vision by Smashbox + The mascara Pupa Vamp! Violet Fluo.

As you can see there's a lot of champagne all over the eye, but at the end the result is very natural and sight results 'open'.

At the end of the post I'm showing you my nails of the day (and of the week!!!).

I have applied the colour Malva n° 659 by Deliplus which is an affordable brand you can find in the supermarkets Mercadona in Spain. I don't know if you can find it also in the web.

I think is a super pretty colour for the everyday routine, it is also easy to apply and it dries quickly, so it's definately ok!

Firstly the look and at the end the nails!

EYESHADOWS: the palette Wonder Vision by Smashbox;

EYEPENCIL:  no one;

MASCARA: Pupa Vamp! Violet Fluo ; 

EYESHADOW PRIMER: the Advanced Eye Fix Primer by Elizabeth Arden.

***

Here the Malva n° 659 by Deliplus Efecto Gel,

I've just applied 2 thin coats:

So, do you like this colour?

Have you ever heard of this brand?

Let me know!

Kisses

Sea Eye MakeUp + Eye Contour Gel by Clarins vs Élève Eternity Sculpting Youth Contour Cream

Hi dear!!

Here the eye make up look I realized yesterday!

I love this eyeshadow, because it reminds me the sea (or the ice if you prefer), its transparency and luminosity is exceptional!

I used the fabulous turquoise from the palette by Yves Saint Laurent, Ombres 5 Lumières,  Jardin de Minuit n°11:

EYE PENCIL:no one;

MASCARA: the FULL EXPOSURE mascara by Smashbox;

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

Now in this period I've finished my Eye Contour Gel by Clarins and two days ago I bought the magazine marie claire 2 and I've tested the Élève Sculpting Youth Contour Cream!

Even if the quantity was only 1 ml (!!!) this is enough to say that the Élève has a great consistency and the skin seems silk after the application (from evening until next morning).

The Clarins one has a gel consistency, so it hydrates well the delicate skin near the eye but it doesn't leave a silky skin. 

The difference is mostly in the formulation,

the Élève is creamy and the Clarins one jelly!

For my case I prefer 100 times the creamy version than the jelly one, so this is the first and last time that I bought the Clarins one, but this is not a bad product at all! 

It depends on your needs. 

I think that the Clarins one is more adapt for a very young skin but not for over 30.

Thanks a lot for reading, 

if you've tried these products please tell me your opinions!

Have a wonderful evening,

kisses

Marghe
