My Thoughts Corner

Two years back, I was introduced to Rene Furterer products by a friend at a time I completely lost hope in repairing my hair. In addition to some DIY hair treatments, the Forticea Stimulating shampoo with essential oils and the Triphasic VHT Regenerating Treatment for Hair Loss were my savers and since then, I completely trust this brand. My hair regained its strength and volume, but it got extremely frizzy and dry. Once again I made my way to my trusty Rene Furterer to pick their Karite intense nourishing oil, subject of today’s post.

Rene Furtherer offers exceptional and personalized treatments made of 100% natural active ingredients based on essential oils and plant extracts and developed by Laboratoires Pierre Fabre.

The intense nourishing oil is the first step of the Karite line that aims treating very dry and damaged hair and/or scalp using the key ingredients shea butter and shea oil. It is a pre-shampoo treatment that’s supposed to soak for 5 to 10 min but I usually let it sit for at least 2 hours.

It is a lightweight oil with a wonderful floral scent that washes clean without any greasy residue or smell. It is though deep conditioning and my hair feels healthier with an exceptional softness and shine from the first time.

I’m very impressed by the Karite intense nourishing oil; it is very effective in the struggle with dry hair and in sustaining healthy hair which makes it certainly worth every penny.

Hope that was helpful .. Stay Tuned!!

Hi Guys,

After I ran out of my Origins High-Potency Night-A-Mins, which I really loved, I was looking for a new moisturizer; as I like to try new products from time to time and that’s when I decided to go for L’Occitane Pivoine Sublime Perfecting Cream which I got as a gift from my husband for my birthday along with a lot of other goodies.

The Pivoine Sublime range is formulated with peony extract for an intense hydration and an even skin tone. Suitable for all skin types, the perfecting cream aims a fresh and perfect looking skin through refining the pore, fine lines and complexion.

The packaging is so beautiful and classy; a pretty red pink pot which would certainly be a cute on the top of any vanity. The ingredients of this cream are the best part being all naturally derived with no parabens just like all L’Occitane products but that’s not all. The smell is simply divine; I would describe it as freshly cut flowers; peonies of course.  

I chose to use the L’Occitane Perfecting Cream as a night cream for 5 to 6 weeks now and I’m in love with the texture that lies between a gel and a cream making it a perfect treat for hot summer nights. In fact it is so refreshing and leaves the skin so supple and velvety with an immediate radiance boost. However, it could easily be used as a day moisturizer or a primer.

Though I’ve been applying this cream only in evenings, I’ve noticed a difference in my skin. It is definitely smoother, radiant and fresh. However I won’t say it’s a must have product but it’s a lovely delicacy for pampering the skin once in a while.

Until next time.

Hello Everyone,

Six months back I picked the Makeup Revolution Iconic Blush Bronze & Brighten Palette in shade “Flush” to use it when I travel but somehow I totally forgot about it until I got the other three shades; Golden Hot, Rave and Smoulder, as free items in my recent haul and I thought that it’s the best time for reviewing these little gems .. So let’s jump into it!

The four palettes come in the usual simple and slim glossy black packaging of Makeup Revolution with a good sized mirror, which makes them really compact and perfect for travelling or simply carrying in your makeup bag.

All the three powders are well pigmented; it provide just the right amount of product for a subtle glow and which could easily be build up for more color pay off. The staying power for a fact is not bad even in summer days; the blush, bronzer and highlighter stay around 5 to 6 hours.

Texture wise, I will be talking about each powder separately and I will start with the blush that has a creamy to powder texture with a matte finish which make its blending effortless and beautiful. The bronzer has a similar texture of the blush without being too matte and does amazing job in warming up the skin and giving a healthy glow. It could also be used to contour if layered without being muddy. Finally the highlighter! This one is simply stunning. It is not overly glittered to make you feel like a disco ball but it adds just the perfect natural and gorgeous sheen to the face.

“Flush” contains a peachy-pinky blush, light neutral bronzer with orange undertones and a honey toned highlighter.

“Rave” contains a classy coral blush, light golden bronzer and a champagne highlighter.

“Smoulder” has a bright pink blush, mid toned bronzer and a pearly white highlighter.

“Golden Hot” being the warmest of all 4 palettes comes with a lovely bronzy color with gold shimmers as a bronzer, a neutral pink color as blush and the highlighter is a beautiful rose gold shade.

Beyond any doubt, I like these palettes; they are a must have in your makeup bag for an everyday use. I love the idea of having a handy multi-purpose product, as I could easily use the bronzer and the highlighter as eyeshadows and I would save with that a lot of time and space when I am on the move. The quality is lovely and the colours set are so versatile that there’s a shade for everyone. Give it a try and you won’t regret it!!!
