Polished Polyglot

Happy Friday, Lovelies!
Spring is beginning to point its nose, and I'm full on allergies, which is causing my skin to be super dry, lacking glow, looking terrible! The singns of ageing are even more evident when my skin is not feeling happy. So I decided to test this Etude House Snail mask which promises deep moisturizing, smoothening and firming effects. Keep reading to find out how it went!

Generally speaking, the concern for taking care of one's skin has grown in recent years. It's not only my impression! Call it a trend, or awareness that comes with the new generations, truth is that the earlier you start caring for your skin, the longer you will profit of a youthful looking skin. This is like maths, right?
Of course, the skincare industry is in a flourishing moment, new brands, new products, reviewed formulations, new techniques, appear everyday and it can be a bit overwhelming, right?
I considered myself a beauty freak and even I feel overwhelmed by all the newness all the time!
But there is nothing to panic about because there is no point in trying everything (if that was even humanly possible) just focusing on what works for YOU.
This year, I had the opportunity to test many (I really mean MANY) new and not so new, skincare products and found a few little gems that completely changed the game for me. Keep reading to find out what I'm talking about!

Hello, sweeties!
Can you believe November is almost over? Well, neither can I! Last month I skipped to show you my finished products, so this time I got quite a few... rather a LOT. I decided I'm splitting them by category and showing you today only the Body Care ones, so I don't bore you to death. There are a few very interesting products, especially moisturizers for dry skin! Ideal for the cold weather we are having. So keep reading to find out which of those I've liked and repurchase and which of them are a pass!

Hi, Sweeties! How are you today?
I hope you are doing great! I am super excited today because tomorrow I'll be going to Paris! I love that city so much, I've been there on several occasions, the last one was last year with my parents and we had a great time. This time I'll be staying for only one day, I'll attend a press event and come back home. I'll leave home early in the morning and come back before midnight (hopefully with both my shoes and no pumpkins ;) But I do have 6 full hours to spend on site, the event only takes 2 hours or so. I haven't travelled alone in a very long time! So I'm also a bit nervous about it, you know I get old and shortsighted, lol... but I think I can manage not getting lost in Paris, lol. In fact, it is a big city and I do speak French so it should be fine ;) If you don't have signs of me on Friday, then call 911, lol.

Today I'd like to share with you my thoughts on a new Facial Mask I've tried and liked very much! It is The Face Shop "Real Nature" Blueberry Mask*, I tell you more about it after the jump.

Hi, Sweeties! Happy Saturday!
I haven't posted in the past three days, which is quite unusual for me, right? Two important things are happening that explain it. Firstly, I've started a fitness training program this week, which is taking up a lot of my free time, especially the hours I am supposed to be taking pictures for the blog, haha. Secondly, I'm already in a summer vacation mood!  I've been shopping for my children, who grow up like the weed and they don't fit anything from last summer. I've also shopped some swimsuits for myself. I realized I haven't bought a new swimsuit since I was pregnant with my boy (that's 7 summers ago! LOL) So I got three of them. While I've been up to those pleasant tasks I've left the blog a little unattended, I hope you understand.

Today I'd like to share with you my thoughts on a new Facial Mask I've tried and loved! It is The Face Shop "The Solution" Firming Mask*, I tell you more about it after the jump.

Hello, Lovelies!
My skin has been feeling so dry lately! I am not sure what is the reason, usually, my skin is never this dry this time of the year. So I decided to test this Etude House Hyaluronic Acid mask which promises deep moisturizing effect. Keep reading to find out how it went!

Hello, Lovelies!
My skin was really needing a boost in the radiance department lately. I've been sleeping poorly, not drinking enough, and I looked really tired! So I decided to test this Etude House Camellia mask for the first time. I tell you all about it after the jump!

Hello, lovelies!
How are you today? It's time to chat about skincare!
You know how popular is Korean skincare and the trend doesn't seem to fade. I personally have made amazing discoveries among the Korean brands, of ingredients and products that are new to me. As usual, my trustworthy place for shopping for Korean brands and products is the specialized boutiques in Switzerland BoOonBox, where I decided to pick this Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence. Keep reading to find out more!

Hi, Sweeties!
It's been very long since I chat with you about Korean beauty products, so today I would like to share with you another facial mask I've tried and loved! It is the new Etude House generation of masks 0.2 Therapy Air Mask*, I tell you more about it after the jump.

Hi, Sweeties! How are you today?
The past long winter has been rough on my dry skin. I've been religiously using and improving my skincare routine all through the winter, to keep up with my skin needs and trying to make it look its best. If you follow me, you've been certainly reading all my skincare reviews. Today I'd like to chat with you about one of my latest discoveries: the "One step Moisture Up Kit (3 in 1)"* from the Korean brand COSRX. If your skin had gone through rough times the past winter, then my review might interest you too.

Hello, lovelies!
How are you today? It's been one of the toughest days ever, and everything seems to go wrong, so I decided to sit down and shake it all off by doing one of my favourite things: chatting about skincare!
You might know by now that Korean skincare products are all the rage, many of the big occidental distributors and retailers have included great Korean products to their assortments, so this is not new. I appreciate finding many of my favourite Face masks at Sephora, for example. But the truth is, when I am trying to explore a little deeper into the ocean of Korean brands and products, I turn to one of the specialized boutiques in Switzerland. BoOonBox is where I go to pick items I never tried before, like this Vitamin C Serum from the brand Tia'm.

Hi, Sweeties! Happy Friday!

Hello, my lovelies!
Today it is kind of a sad day, because of the terrible news of last night's tragic attack to Manchester Arena. I feel sad and confused whether I should go on with my regular posting schedule because I really don't feel like it. I suppose that life goes on, right? Even though I can't stop questioning myself "what kind of life is this?". Anyway, I'm trying to distract my mind from the tragedy (if that was possible) I am going to write what I was planning to write today, but with much less enthusiasm than usual. Please, bare with me.

As you might already know I've been slowly exploring Korean beauty brands and different products and sharing my thoughts here with you. This week I have two lovely finds from Sephora France the Erborian 7 Herbs Scrub for lips and the Erborian Rouge Tint for lips and Cheek. Keep reading to find out more!

Hi, Sweeties! How are you today?
Last year I started a series of posts dedicated to K-beauty or Korean beauty products. It's been a long time since my last post in this series! I the past months, I have been testing different Korean sheet masks, but I wasn't as impressed as to write about them. So I thought it was time to try some other brands and different kind of products.
Today I am sharing with you my thoughts on the Dr. Jart Hydration Lover rubber mask , did it impressed me or not?

What the say is true, the hands are the first to sell out your age!! We dab all sorts of lotions and potions on our faces, but are we taking good care of our hands?  Not that I try to hide my age, but I take a lot of closeup pictures of my hands and as I do not use photoshop as other nail bloggers do, I want my skin to look great and appealing as possible.
So, here I am, with yet another product from a Korean brand specially developped for hands: Tony Moly Peach Antiage Hand cream. I was sold when I saw the packaging, right? how could this be any cuter! But, of course, Does what is inside leave up to the expectations? Keep reading to find out what I think after using this hand cream!

Hi, Sweeties! How are you today?
