I'v been using this in alternance with the ultra facial cleanser and it really made my skin more resilient and plump! Also I love the feel of using cotton and milk like in the 90's.

I remember the first time I tried this and how shocked I was with the results! It really tightened my pores and blurred my complexion! It's been one of my favourite mask ever since and the format is very convient, easy to take with you on holidays!

This is a 3 in 1 toner, moisturiser and primer for when I don't feel like doing much skincare wise, which happens often in summer. I would use that product straight after my shower back from the beach and hurrying up getting ready to catch my dinner ...

Expect to find this in my bag at all time in summer! I actually own different sizes, the big one stays at home and the small one comes with me on the go! This is so refreshing and moisturising! I also don't think it messes my make up too much! True f...

Not wanting to wear foundation in summer is the story of my life, especially during the day, so I found this little hack! I just use these sun drops in a bit of moisturiser and it evens out my complexion like a foundation would do, but without the fo...

This is a great oil for beach days as it is a sun protective oil! I put it on when I arrive at the beach (it smells divine) leave it on while I swim to temper the damage on my hair, and wash it off with a shampoo when I am home! Another french girl s...

This is such an underrated leave in conditioner. I put it in my hair when it's still a bit wet right after washing it and then style my hair in a blow out! It's non greasy and makes my hair so much softer.

Not originally intented for that but all the french girls will tell you that this is one of the best lip balms you'll ever try! I always carry one with me. + you can use it for dryness, skin irritations and cuts.

Just a great hair brush and a better investment than La Bonne Brosse in my opinion! Good quality and great at detangling hair.

You've probably heard that arnica does wonders at brightening dark circle and helping sunken eyes. Most arnica gels contain alcohol and aren't suited for use on facial skin. These patches are specifically designed for the eye contour area and contain...

Everyone raves about the L'Occitane shower oil but I am personally not a big fan of the smell. And you're probably aware of how shower oils change the game for dry skins. At the moment I am loving this one, it smells like white tea and jasmine and is...

This is a mask that I love to use after a long flight when my skin feels very dehydrated and depleted. I would also use it as an overnight mask in winter and rinse in the morning with eau thermale and a cotton pad.

This really is a must. I am not a dry shampoo person, I would rather put my hair in a ponytail if it's greasy but this one really managed to win me over! It works super well and oatmeal is super underrated for skin/body/itchyness.
