L'Oréal Double Extension Renewal Serum Inside Mascara

Hey everyone!

L'oreal launches every now and then some pretty good mascaras.
I don't usually prefer them, just because they're a tiny bit more expensive than others.
I'm a huge fan though, of the original Voluminous carbon black as I find myself always getting a back up while it has a reasonable price too.

This time I thought I should give a go a pretty old one, for which I haven't heard much of a raving.
Don't no why, as it is a lovely mascara!

The difference from other types is that this Double mascara has from one side a white serum, which is your base for extra lengthening and nourished lashes. For some reason, I feel good when I have this on, I believe I truely do something special for my lashes.
I think it's true what it says it does, as times I'm on a hurry and don't put on the serum first, I certainly not see the same results, which are extra seperated nourished and full lashes. The serum does provide for sure that sexy eye look.
Then, the second layer comes from the normal extra typical brush, with the black liquid, that finishes the result, making them beautifully black and volumised.
I can see and feel that the texture of my lashes is hard when they dry out completly.
For some reason, I like that effect, as in some way it does not clump too.
It gives you that false lash effect which I love without sticking them together!
The problem is that it's time consuming. There are times that I don't bother, as I do like pamper every now and then my lashes with something that makes them nourished.
I find also that you don't need to put a lot of serum on your first layer as it may irritate your eye. It does on mine.

It costs 12 Euros for 12 ml. I don't think I'll buy it again, just for the price, although I did liked a lot the result and I do recommend it for times you want to have something to spend a little bit more time on. 

La Roche-Posay: Hydraphase Intense Serum

Hey everyone!

For a couple of months I've been testing out this amazing rehydrating gel-serum for sensitive dehydrated skins!

Well, I only have to say the best of words for this one.

First of all, it's a watery formula, with nice smooth gel texture that's easy and quick to use.

When you put it on it feels like you literally throw water to your face! It gently moisturises your skin without making you oily or something. It absorbs immediately and leaves your skin so soft and mat. You know and you can feel that you've been moisturised in 2 seconds!

In the summer I do not use my regular Uriage moisturiser, as what I only do in the morning is to put on my sunscreen which has moisturising properties too, so I don't need to overuse too many products.

So, as I have a "luck" I would say of a proper moisturiser, this serum makes the whole miracle!

Why ? Beacuse it's a concetrated moisturising serum, that infuses deep inside your skin only with water! Straight where your face needs it! And that's more than good for my skin.

Apart from that, I know that due to the factor that it's a light formula full of hyaluronic acids it can smooth any expression lines you may have.

I do have oily skin and had no problem using it in the morning, under my sunscreen, days I feel I need some more extra hydration.

Don't forget that in the summer all skins become a little bit more dehydrated, so even if you do use a moisturiser, you may want to use this one in your night scincare routine as an extra step.

My mum has dry skin and she looooves it!

I definitely see results now that I'm back from my holidays, as the sun did its job.

I won't use it in the winter just because it's too light using it on its own then, and too much for my skin to use it both with my regural moisturiser.

But in the summer I found that it's the most clever way to put hyaluronic acids deep inside your skin.

Product was sent from assetOgilvy on behalf of L’oreal Cosmetique Active.

When it comes to package, it has a nice glass bottle with pump, quite posh I would say.

It's a 30 ml for 25 euros.

I recommend it even if you are not used to serums. You and your mum will love it!

Some days it's nice to treat yourself  more than you would :)
