Guerlain and Dior Paris on my dressing table

On the beginning of this post I would like to share my kingdom of beauty . This is the place where I am collecting my beauty treatments and products which are great for my skin and suit my needs .

I am always trying to properly look after about my body and face and I am using high quality products which in same time are safe and not cause allergy . My skin is sensitive in some parts of my face special around my eyes and. I can not use everything. Even only selected cleaning wipes I can use to avoid itchy,swallow and red eye. Again I do not put plenty make up and  I am always trying to be natural as I can as i do not like artificial and exaggerated effect . My favourite cosmetics are Lancome and Clarins but this time I went for Guerlain and Dior . 

Guerlain is home to some of the world's most legendary beauty products.
The House of Guerlain was owned and managed by members of the Guerlain family from 1828 to 1994. It was acquired in 1994 by the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton LVMH group, a multinational investment corporation specialising in luxury brands.

Innovation, quality and luxury are the cornerstones of the House of Guerlain, with beautiful objets d'art and masterful formulations that have lasted the test of time.

I have bought some smaller amounts, testers, samples of products to check how they work on me and help to perform incredible image . They are perfect for contouring face and highlighting and brighting up parts of the face which needs some touch and also they are doing great job in moisturising skin. I can easy smooth small wrinkles and cover some face imperfections. The organic ingredients of the products from Guerlain range help to prevent young,healthy and fresh look day by day

• Guerlain Lingerie De Peau 02 Beige Clear Foundation 

Guerlain fulfils every woman’s dream by creating an all-in-one moisturising cream foundation and concealer that seems to fuse with the skin so perfectly it cannot be seen or felt. The two complementary shades blend seamlessly, creating a second skin effect, tailored to match the natural perfection of each individual complexion.

SPF 20 PA+++

Technological breakthrough: Bio-Fusion micro-mesh. Stretchy fibres to smooth and shape the contours of the face have been combined with silk and linen fibres that create an imperceptible veil of perfection for an ultimate second-skin effect. Hyaluronic acid, a powerfully hydrating molecule known for its ability to continuously capture and maintain water in the skin surface is encapsulated in the micro-mesh, and works to immediately restore youthful freshness to the complexion.

• Guerlain Lingerie de Peau 03 Natural Beige 

Guerlain has created its first compact powder foundation so light that it blends seamlessly, like a second skin. The Bio-Fusion micro-mesh, a combination of stretch fibres and textile proteins of natural origin fuse with the epidermis for an optimal distribution of pigments. Powders, chosen for their capacity to marry a soft-focus effect with ideal coverage, fuse and melt at skin temperature. This unique technology promotes a smooth, soft and long-lasting finish, for an even complexion that remains matte and velvety all day long. Composed of hyaluronic acid, Lingerie de Peau compact powder foundation protects the skin's moisture in order to maintain its suppleness and softness from morning to night. Finally, the dream of a perfect complexion is yours. A matte effect foundation becomes lingerie, and drapes your skin with the most natural-looking veil of beauty. Its subtle vanilla-violet fragrance delicately intertwines with the sparkling scent of berries. 

• Guerlain Rose Aux Joues 02 Chic Pink

Women change their outfit, lipstick and handbag each day - so why not their blush? Rose aux Joues reinterprets blush with a duo of colours to combine and adapt in endless ways. A dominant shade to make cheekbones blush and its smaller counterpoint for a savvy mix or a striking juxtaposition full of vibrations. All your make-up desires are satisfied... 

Absolutely feminine, glam, rock or pop, anything goes to create your look and give your complexion delicious colour tones.
The blush has a slight shimmer and is a gorgeous warm pink. The highlighter/contour shade is matte and very light, perfect for alabaster complexions. The blended shade is a pretty warm pink, but I prefer the blush shade all by itself.


• Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons 08 Ebony

 Provides 4 shades with perfect gradation of caramelised tones-Blends together to match different skin colour or season-gives you a naturally tanned complexion all year long-lightweight & enriched with pure gold-makes your skin stay luminous & chic. 

From winter to summer, the tone of the complexion changes. This is why Guerlain has created Terracotta 4 Seasons, a variation in four steps to sculpt your tan all year long. The perfect gradation of caramelised hues, these four shades can be endlessly combined and layered, depending on your desire, skin tone and the season, for an authentic tan and an incredibly natural result.

The complexion is sun-kissed with a sheer finish, both radiant and matt. The natural effect is irreproachable and the tan seems reinvented. 

My palette is quiet dark but I bought for the reason to use as a bronzer to highlight and contour face shape. My  face is a square and needs some modelling to make her bit more narrow optical than is in real.

I am using all of the 4 products from Guerlain however I am not really convicted to the compact foundation and prefer my forever apricot light creator from Yves Saint Laurent. It is much lighter,subtle and smother effect on my skin and is not rolling or peeling off like the compact one.

Apart from that all the products are exceptionally high quality and very practical and useable. 

Another set of products which I respect very much is a Dior range included Dior Instant Eye Make up remover,Diorshow brown mascara and Dior Capture Totale multi perfection concentrated lotion.

Christian Dior (21 January 1905 – 23 October 1957) was a French fashion designer, best known as the founder of one of the world's top fashion houses, also called Christian Dior, but now owned by Groupe Arnault.

While the Christian Dior label remains largely for women's offerings, the company also operates the Dior Homme division for men and the baby Dior label for childrenswear. Products are sold throughout its portfolio of retail stores worldwide, as well as through its online store via dior.com.
Competitors to the House of Dior include, among many, the fashion houses of Chanel, Burberry, Yves Saint Laurent, Gucci, Prada.

Instant eye makeup remover leaves a sensation of extreme softness, suited to the fine, weakened and lipid-poor skin of the eye contour area. With stupefying ease and a non-oily effect, this two-phase makeup remover comes to grips with the most resistant, including waterproof, makeup. When the bottle is shaken, the emollient crystalline oil and the blue-tinted water, rich in moisturising agents, instantly blend together to offer both gentle and effective cleansing action. Tested under ophthalmological control, this product's safety preserves the fragile eye contour area. Adapted to sensitive eyes and contact wearers. 

BENEFITS

The eyelids are perfectly clean, soft and moisturised the eyelashes supple and silky smooth.

Dior mascara is giving you extremely natural effect. I was sceptical to the brown version in the beginning but after using few times I fell in love as is perfect for causal every day make up .From now black I am leaving for special occasion and official events.

Christian Dior Capture Totale Multi-Perfection Concentrated Lotion is the first essential step of the skincare ritual and helps correct all visible signs of ageing.  Perfectly hydrated and prepared to benefit from skincare applied afterwards, the skin regains its perfection. Christian Dior Capture Totale Multi-Perfection Concentrated Lotion is suppler and more luminous.
Capture Totale intensely corrects all signs of ageing, acting upon stem cells at the heart of the skin, for radiant beauty, today and tomorrow.

Influence by Isabel Marant

I know about this brand since not long time ago . I was looking for velcro sneakers wedges and I came across of this talented adorable french designer.

The sneakers were bought in online store http://www.luisaviaroma.com/

They are white suede with nude-beige side part. They are quiet heavy and that fact was putting me off and delaying to buy as I like light shoes but now I can understand that they are made of proper heavy leather -suede and the sole is made of rubber. All of this is making them bit bulky but also very comfortable in same time .

My introductory day with them was in Hanwell Park and in the Holland Park in Kensington. I have worn set which included

Purple inspiration in the fashion !!!

Our trip to Bournemouth last month was a perfect occasion to demonstrate my purple outfit .

It was a beautiful weather there and plenty of sunshine which was very unusual for this time of the year.

I was wearing purple leather vintage Promod skirt with folds and cuts. Multi colour decorated top on the black sheer stretchy fabric. As a bag I have selected Ted Baker Aronia briefcase shoulder bag which perfectly accompanied with other parts of the outfit . 
Pebbled leather paired with ostrich embossing creates textural intrigue on a smart shoulder bag. Clean topstitching and an oversized push-lock closure complete the classic look.
I could not forget take my outstanding unique shorts boots tsar from Australia Luxe collection in Plum colour and fuchsia Ted Baker Coat . I have finished the look with Miu Miu silver eye cut sunglasses and Lauren Ralph Lauren horsy ornament scarf.

Katherine McNamara attended the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Grants Banquet held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Thursday (August 14) in Beverly Hills, California.
The 17-year-old actress/singer wore a Ted Baker London ‘Jacen’ floral-print tunic dress – the perfect choice for a summer red carpet event – featuring a black embellished collar and cuffs and a 60s-like silhouette and feel. Styled with black ankle-strap pumps, she completed her look with a simple sweet ponytail and a pretty soft-pink lip

                                                

One of my favourite colours on nails is a mixture purple,pink and fuchsia with slightly shimmer.

Beautiful shade by Alessandro and will match nicely with outfit above 

When is time for purple and pink I will have to mention and expose plate which is in similar shade as well and really suit my taste. The bright and colourful background remind me about upcoming spring and summer and really cheer me up. 

My home beauty farm

From time to time I will be recommending some beauty products and treatments and also try to discover some new good cosmetics brands.

Today I will show few of my recently favourite top ones . 

I have very sensitive eyes and I have tried several method to clean area around my eyes but even Clarins or Lancome products did not stop to getting red, itchy or painfull till I have discovered micelle lotion Blephasol .It works for me immediately and relief me from symptoms above very quickly. 

Due to it's micelle properties, Blephasol mechanically removes impurities, stains, dried secretions and make-up from eyelids and base of eyelashes. Blephasol, free from alcohol, detergents, and preservatives, gently cleanses without irritating the eyes or damaging the outer layers of the epidermis which protects the skin from harsh external elements (cold, sun, sweat, allergens, and various pollutants, etc.).

Fragrance-free and non-greasy, Blephasol does not need to be rinsed after use. Blephasol may be recommended to contact lens wearers.

Now I can enjoy full eye make up without hassle and struggling .

For the body I would suggest to try Lancome products. I do not need to introduce the brand as is well know since launched in 1935. I have found the Hydra Principe Hydrating body lotion quiet good with nice aroma .

Obviously did not win with my Nutrix Royal also by Lancome which is incredible for skin and do not have competitors.

If you prefer something more sensual and perfumed  why not try Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Body Cream 200ml A rich, melting cream, for a moment of pure pleasure. A nourishing texture that immediately soothes and perfumes the skin.

Cream is lovely and feels silky when smoothed onto the skin. A gorgeous fragrance. A tender and bold classic with a feminine blend of Rose,Blossom and Vanilla

Lancôme Paris is a French luxury perfumes and cosmetics house that distributes products internationally. Lancôme is part of the L'oreal Luxury Products division, which is its parent company and offers skin care, fragrances  and makeup .

Founded in 1935 by Armand Petitjean in France, as originally an fragrance house. Petitjean’s motive was simple: to create a beauty brand that would deliver French elegance around the world. The name "Lancôme" was inspired by the ruins of a castle, Le Château de Lancosme, while the roses in the area inspired the company’s symbol of the single golden rose.

Lancôme launched its first five fragrances in 1935 at the World's Vair in Brussels : Tendre Nuit, Bocages, Conquete, Kypreand Tropiques. Petitjean entered into the luxury skincare market, launching his first all-purpose repair cream in 1936, followed by make-up, cosmetics, and skincare products. Lancôme was acquired by L'oreal in 1964, and quickly became part of its luxury products division; today it is one of the most successful international brands and well-known cosmetic beauty company's in the world and celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2010.
