Hime Chan's Diary

Understanding why I left behind the Jowaé Concentré Jeunesse Anti-Taches /Jowaé Youth Concentrate Complexion Correcting with Lumiphenols . I was super excited when walking past a pharmacy I saw a strange name that sounded very Korean. I stopped and glared at the beautiful and simple packaging of the products and as soon as I got home, my search began. It didn’t take much to convince myself, that I had to at least try one of the products, being a fanatic of the Korean cosmetics. The advantage of this brand was that I could purchase it anytime, without having to wait over a month for the products to arrive. They are also quite affordable , so I bought 2. The packaging is very simple and the box explains everything through numbers and pictures, on the inside. Easy enough for anybody to understand how and when to use it. It comes in a pump dispenser and that can be good or bad, since you can’t really pop it open or squeeze the content out. And it’s not a sheer packaging s...

STOPPED using: Avene TriAcnéal Expert Emulsion Tony Moly petit bunnies tinted lip balms Kiko Make Up Milano Coloured Balm RED Jowae Concentré Jeunesse Anti-Taches and Crème Légère Lissant Anti-Rides STARTED using: So Bio Etic BB cream Perfecteur de Teint 5 in 1 01 nude beige – I’ve discovered there is a lighter texture for this particular product, but only online. The supermarket where I bought this one doesn’t have the other texture, so for now I will continue with this. Logona Klärendes Peeling-Gel – only used once so far Sante Smooth Colour Kiss tinted lip balms – they really hydrate the lips, I find that I don’t reapply them often throughout the day, because there is no nee to do so. The only problem: they are SOOOO PINK . And I look horrible with pink lips. OLD FORMULA Logona Klärende Reinigungsschaum The link to the port where I talked about why I stopped and started new products is here .

CHOCOLATE today Morning routine: Innisfree Green Tea foam cleanser; Nuxe Prodigieuse Boost eye and concentrate; Alga Maris Crème Solaire SPF 50 Visage UVA and UVB from Laboratoires de Biarritz (Bio & Ecocert); SO Bio Etic BB cream(Bio & Ecocert) and the usual make up. No spots, everything looks fine . Bought four new goodies yesterday at Celeiro, two of which are already in use: v   Sante Lip Lacquer colour gloss 06 Infinite Ruby (German; NaTrue & BDIH). IT’S RED and I live it!!!! Doesn’t disappear completely if you drink, but when wiping your lips it will go to the napkin and away from the lips. Doesn’t dry the lips, no sticky feeling, really good! v   Sante Lipstick No. 23 Poppy Red (German; NaTrue & BDIH). A pinkish red. Grandmother has been using it for a few days and this one doesn’t have the same staying power as the Lacquer, but she says it’s very moisturizing. Of course neither are matt.  v   Nelsons Calendula skin ...

CHOCOLATE today. Shame on me, but I simply cannot resist Kinder Bueno !!!!! Morning routine: Innisfree Green Tea foam cleanser; Nuxe Prodigieuse Boost eye and concentrate; Alga Maris Crème Solaire SPF 50 Visage UVA and UVB from Laboratoires de Biarritz (Bio & Ecocert); SO Bio Etic BB cream(Bio & Ecocert) and the usual make up. Night routine: Nuxe cleansing oil; OLD FORMULA Logona Klärende Reinigungsschaum ; Cattier Pink clay MASK , The Body Shop Tea Tree oil; Nuxe Prodigieuse Boost oil balm night. The spot seems a bit smaller, but I see something else coming along also on my right cheek, but it might be hormonal . I also have been felling my face a bit dry at night , after I wash it. It starts to pull as soon as it gets dry and needs the moisturiser straight away, though I let the tea tree oil sink in and dry a little before piling up the Nuxe oil balm. I did notice it feeling dryer when I started using the Innisfree Green Tea foam. At this point I’m not ...

NO CHOCOLATE today. Morning routine: Innisfree Green Tea foam cleanser; Nuxe Prodigieuse Boost eye and concentrate; AlgaMaris Crème Solaire SPF 50 Visage UVA and UVB from Laboratoires de Biarritz (Bio& Ecocert) ; SO Bio Etic BB cream(Bio & Ecocert) and the usual make up. As expected, the sunscreen gives more of a moisture finish. Not to say that it feels oily or even looks oily, but it doesn’t get absorbed that fast. I have to wait a couple minutes before applying the BB cream. Also by the end of the day I noticed the spot where I had the rash, had a tiny reddish circle, but I did try removing some dry skin from that same spot with my fingers in the morning, so I’m not blaming the sunscreen, YET . Night routine: Nuxe cleansing oil; OLD FORMULA Logona Klärende Reinigungsschaum ; The Body Shop Tea Tree oil; Nuxe Prodigieuse Boost oil balm night. I used the Body Shop’s Tea Tree oil on that specific spot and we’ll see how it is tomorrow.

Definitely my favourite sunscreen to date. I’ve tried an array of products over the years and this is the 2 nd that left a very good impression. The first one, by the way, was The Body Shop’s sunscreen for the body that existed over 15 years ago, when I was still a teenager. The reason: after my usual beach period in the summer, not forgetting I was a stupid teenager that didn’t care about the sun that much, I was the exact same colour as before. No bikini marks anywhere and no tan! Most people like to tan, but I like to enjoy the beach without tanning. I cannot say for sure that the ISDIN Fusion Water does the same, because as soon as the sun starts warming up in Spring, I either wear hats (if you see someone wearing a hat on the street it’s probably me, nobody else wears them) or hide in the shade. What makes me love this sunscreen is it’s velvet touch and light formula . It really mattifies the skin even when wearing foundation. Actually, your foundation would have to be m...
