The Bodyshop "drops of youth concentrate"


Hello blog lovers I'm glad to be in front of a computer once again writing. Oh loves you can't believe the relief I feel just knowing I'm not doing homework or school stuff. As for the school stuff I still have one more week to slug it out before I get my vacation, so be happy for me.  Like y'all know ya gurl is a cosmetic junkie, and as much as I want to feel differently, I can't and I love it every step of the way. my husband says I'm a junkie in everything.(I'm sure you guys don't believe that) :).
So, back to my  one of my favorite products, I got converted to bodyshop products 3 years ago. Now people, I'd heard quite a lot about how paraben was bad for the skin and as much as I was in love with cosmetics, I'd decided to stay away from products with paraben. One day a lady told me a story on how it was marketing propaganda, and I'm sure you all get the gist now. All in all I went in for bodyshop products and I haven't looked back ever since. I actually dumped most of the high end ranges I was used to just for them and the fact that they are involved in sustainable development practices just drew me in. That's how serious it is!!.




This is the serum from the bodyshop range. Now I contemplated buying the lancome serum which is like 5x the cost of this miracle right here. The next day after using it you'll notice a visible difference in the texture of your skin and shine to it, visible reduction of wrinkles(anti-wrinkle) and a younger looking skin. The perfume is subtle and beautiful, it also exists in 50ml and the 30ml lasts for up to six months.

Now this product comes with a tube like syringe attached to the cover. so all you do is push the pump and you get a one drop pump. If you want more that's entirely up to you, but one drop is just about enough. In this sense you ain't worried about waste, so you get value for your money. It's quite a simple packaging.  So far so good I've only had a wonderful experience with this product; On it's pricing it's quite on the average but in comparison to what bodyshop products price ranges are, it comes in expensive.

The application of the drops of youth concentrate is done like most anti age products using the top part of your fingers and done in upward strokes from the neck to cheeks and the forehead.

Do I have any regrets so far using this product? No, I haven't and of course with a hydrating moisturiser for your skin after application and you feel great. You could totally use this product on a day you don't feel up to it to make up and you still come out looking like a million bucks, which is one of the reasons I'm addicted. On my clients it's a marvel for make up application.

Has anyone ever tried this product yet? What's your experience ? How would you rate it compared to all other high end ranges? Have you had any bad experiences yet?

Leave all your comments below, I'd like to hear all about them.

'Til we meet once more sweethearts, It's good bye from me.

SEPHORA MAKEUP "IT PALETTE" NUDE EYE SHADOWS



"The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural".-Calvin Klein

And that's exactly how I feel about this palette right here.......
Hello juliettsstyle blog lovers, I hope you're all having a fab weekend. Seriously after a whole week slugging it out at school, I just want to sleep and keep going. Luckily though, a classmate of mine from Kenya had her birthday yesterday  and it was a barbecue party. Can you beat that, barbecue in fall ? (surprise face & a smile) I know !!!!!! :). The weather has been amazing in France. Oh, I wish Fall could just go on like this. dreameerrr!!!! Okay- Chinyere wake up!! Anyways, coucou Victoria Gathogo and a wonderful birthday once more to you.

So like I stated here slugging it out school hasn't made it easy for me to blog as often as I should. Today I'm sharing with you all my go to nude palette which I have been using lately. Unbelievably pigmented and beautiful. i bring to you the SEPHORA IT PALETTE. I'm one of those people who actually can't walk by a cosmetics or make up store without walking inside cos I always believe there's something for me. So when I saw this palette I was expecting it to have a grandiose name like #marcjacobs et al since he's been on a roller coaster on make up products which I'd be doing it's review soon. Anyways, I checked the packaging which was quite impressive, so I'm going to take it one after the other. 





First of this palette comes in a nude pinkish leather casing which is truly lovely to see and touch cos of its foamed cushioning, the closure is magnetic and then when you open it.... voila ! All shades of nude fabulousness  nudeasticness. 
I tell you the pigmentation on this palette is magnifique. I'm beginning to speak French just describing this palette. With my school timetable like someone who's training for the army, I just pull this baby out and three shades later I'm done.



The palette also comes with a double headed brush,one for application and the other for precision and then an eye pencil which I haven't begun to use but it's quite pigmented as well. It comes in a darkish copper colour. (You itching yet to go try it out?) hehehehehe. And lastly, the price is quite affordable abordable. for 29.90€ it's a dream come true. Like I stated earlier, I'm tight on time but when I can I'll be posting looks with this palette.

So until my next post, love y'all plenty.
xoxo
