Acque Profumate by Fitocose

Le acque profumate di Fitocose sono una miscela di acqua, gel di aloe e fragranza naturale, sono semplicemente deliziose e soprattutto adatte a persone allergiche e sensibili ad alcool e profumi sintetici. Grazie all'aloe, se spruzzate sulla pelle, la lasciano morbida e delicatamente profumata. Mi sembra d'obbligo sottolineare che si tratta di acque profumate, quindi se siete abituati ai profumi sintetici persistenti 'che lasciano la scia', queste vi deluderanno. D'altro canto devo ammettere che per essere acque profumate hanno una buona durata, diciamo che sicuramente ve le sentirete addosso per qualche ora :) 
Inoltre la bottiglietta spray è graziosissima ed il costo è piuttosto basso (5,82€ per 50ml). 
Ho provato le profumazioni alla Rosa Nera e al Calicanto. La prima è una fragranza elegante, calda, sensuale, avvolgente, di classe, adatta a donne mature, diciamo non il solito visto e rivisto (o meglio odorato e riodorato) profumo alla rosa. 
La seconda è una fragranza più maschile, sportiva, frizzante, più adatta alla stagione calda. 

Ancora una volta, grazie Fitocose per l'ennesimo buon prodotto che avete creato!

Sophyto Essentials Collection

This Collection is meant to balance skin's PH while offering anti-aging benefits. 
What do I think about the effects on my skin of these products in general? I'm not so convinced about this set, mainly because of its price: 31.85£ on Naturisimo. My note for this collection is 6 but let's take a look at the single items.  
- Purifying silken cleanser: I don't find it purifying at all but it's a perfect make up remover! To be followed by a real cleanser to remove the oil excess and residues. NOTE: 7 
- Dual action exfoliating treatment: this is a fruit acids based exfoliator, perfect for quite sensitive skins because it removes dead cells without scrubbing. The only downside is that it has water consistency so it's difficult to deal with! NOTE: 7 
- PH optimizing restorative toner: this is an average natural toner, nothing more nothing less. What I didn't like about it actually was the useless presence of Alcohol so my NOTE is 6 
- Anti aging antioxidant serum: in my opinion this is a 'no-no!' product, this is not  a serum, this is water with alcohol and some good vegetal extracts, maybe it could be effective used regularly but it's too expensive considering the ingredients it contains. NOTE: 5 
- Balancing daily moisturizer: this is an average light moisturizer ideal for combination to oily skin types, I recommend it if you haven't found a nice natural moisturizer yet. NOTE: 6. 

I'm sorry for my disappointment, but I expect much from a medium-end brand like Sophyto. However I'd definetely buy the Exfoliating Treatment again because it's a really lovely product. 

Love,

#23 Aphorism of the week: Life

Talkers are no good doers. 

William Shakespeare 

Anahata: the Fourth Chakra

Anahata, the fourth chakra, is positioned near the heart region. It rules our intra and inter-personal relations, our conscious life. This chakra represents the adolescent stage of life and Renaissance's time era, when art and beauty were reborn after a dark age. 

COLOUR: green, which represents healing and health.  

ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: Libra, which represents realtionships and Venus, which represents love. 

SENSE: touch, the most powerful unspoken means of communication. 

NOTE: F# 

MANTRA: 'yam' or 'a' 

NUMBER: 12, in numerology, it reduces to the number 3, which represents the relationship between wisdom, power and love which have to be maintained in balance. 

ELEMENT: air, in fact the relation between our lungs and heart is vital. 

GLAND: Thymus Gland, the core of our immune system. 

When Anahata is clear and balanced we can experience love and fulfillment, our heart and lungs are strong and we feel calm and joyful. 

When Anahata is unclear, we have immune deficiency, heart and respiratory problems, we feel insensitive and sad. We are unable to receive love just like we are unable to give it.

Crema contorno occhi by Fitocose

A mio parere uno dei must haves di Fitocose è la crema contorno occhi alla rosa rubiginosa, un'emulsione corposa ed estremamente nutriente. Non posso esprimermi sul potere antirughe, ma posso dire con piacere che distende la pelle della zona perioculare, donando un aspetto più fresco e riposato al viso. 
Ha una base di acqua ed aloe (effetto calmante ed antinfiammatorio) in cui sono stati sapientemente miscelati il burro di karitè (il tipico ingrediente nutriente), lo squalane (attivo derivato dall'olio di oliva, con effetto emolliente e ristrutturante), l'olio di rosa rubiginosa (attivo antirughe per eccellenza) e il G-orizanolo (derivato dal riso, aumenta il naturale fattore di protezione UVA epidermico).  
La consiglio a qualsiasi tipo di contorno occhi come trattamento notturno, mentre come crema contorno occhi diurna solo alle pelli mature e disidratate.

P.S: l'unica pecca è che 30ml sono una quantità enorme per riuscire a finirla in 4 mesi, quindi dividetela con le amiche per evitare che si irrancidisca prima che possiate terminarla! 

Jemma Kidd Dewy Glow All Over Radiance Crème (Iced Gold)

This is one of Jemma Kidd's Best Sellers, but is it worth buying it? 
Yes and no. If you already have a good natural looking highlighter, then don't purchase this one because it's not gonna give you much more. 
It's a nice golden shade with almost imperceptible sparkles which gives a slight touch of light where you put it. 
What impressed me most about this cream highlighter is the consistency, a dry cream which gets kinda powdery when you apply it, I like it because it's not heavy at all.

CMD roll on against pimples

This is an easy effective way of getting rid of your pimples with a 'roll' of a pen! Why do I recommend it? Because it is VEGAN, handy and really effective without drying out the skin. Here is a list of the ingredients:

Aqua, Alcohol, Panthenol, Malaleuca Alternifolia Oil (tea tree), Urea, Aloe Barbadensis, Tocopherol, Glycolic Acid, Xanthan Gum. 

Such a simple and easily reproducible recipe! 

Tea Tree Oil and Glycolic Acid have an anti-inflammatory action, while Panthenol, Urea and the Aloe gel protect and soothe the skin and vitamin E just adds an antiradical function. 
It works without any doubt at reducing the appearence of existing pimples helping drying them out, besides you could apply it when you foresee any 'rising' whiteheads. 

If you don't feel like purchasing it, just add a few drops of tea tree oil to a scoop of aloe vera gel and you'll have approximately the same result. ;)
