DRY HAIR
Hair is either dry naturally or becomes dry due to external stress factors. Dry hair becomes increasingly vulnerable as the hair's hydrolipidic layer no longer fulfills its role as a natural barrier. The result: hair becomes brittle, dehydrated and difficult to detangle. It is crucial to provide dry hair with the necessary hydrating elements it lacks in order to restore softness, suppleness and shine.

Swatches: the 6 eyeshadows from the bottom row of the palette. All the eyeshadows are on a shimmery side, but very pigmented, great colour pay off! |
This is actually the first time I heard about this brand, so I did a little research, and you can find out more about them HERE!
Sephora beauty store:
DIOR
CREME DE ROSE
CREME DE ROSE
![]() |
Smoothing plumping lip balm FPS 10 SPF |
Creme de rose, a must- have lip product, an ultra-nourishing, smoothing and gently plumping balm.
It has ultra- moisturizing action because it contains shea butter and rose essential oils, for soft and supple lips all day long.
Smoothing action: enriched with skin-friendly botanical emollients, its formula fills in furrows and diminishes fine lines for perfectly smoothed lips that regain their shapely curves, as if redefined.
Plumping action: Creme de rose combines high antioxidant vitamins A and E, creating perfectly refreshed, plumped lips that look and stay beautiful.
Its SPF 10 filter ensures optimal protection.
The lightweight texture of Creme de rose melts onto the lips easily for an ultra- soft and comfortable sensation. Its delicate rose flavor makes application addictive!
Secrets of use:
Daily: dabbed onto the center of the lips on its own, Creme de rose adds a touch of radiance for an immediate volume effect.
Applied under lipstick or gloss, it perfectly prepares and coditions the lips, for a smooth, even finish.
As an intensive treatment: before going to bed, apply a thick layer of Creme de rose and pat lightly to blend in. Upon waking, lips feel moisturized and comforted.

ULTRA-LIGHT SKIN PERFECTING MAKE UP
SPF 15

My ideal shade is # 22 Beige Rosé |

# 22 Beige Rosé Swatch The formula is quite liquid, but once you put it onto your skin, it dries out into a perfect powdery finish! |
Vitalumiere Aqua is the most surprising of all Chanel foundations. A soft, light and aqueous texture for an amazingly even makeup result that glows with natural radiance. An unprecedented sensorial experience and an unrivalled makeup finish: freedom for all women in search of a delightful foundation that respects their skin and reveals their natural beauty.
Soft and ultra- thin, for a second- skin effect
Shake the bottle and succumb to this fluid texture, as soft and light as water. On application, the evanescent texture of Vitalumiere Aqua subtly blends into the skin. Its delicate fresh fragrance heightens the sensation of pleasure. This water- texture instantly transforms into a subtly powdered halo that seems to disappear, allowing the skin to breathe freely all day long. This alternative to nude skin naturally conceals imperfections. The complexion looks fresh, flawless and naturally even.
The result is luminous and naturally radiant, boosted by the High- Definition light pigments exclusive to Chanel, which reflect extremely pure light.
Lotus Water and a Brown Seaweed Extract, renowned for their toning and energizing properties, help to instantly restore radiance and vitality to the complexion.
Endowed with a mineral screen and a UVB sun filter, it helps protect the skin from damaging sun rays (SPF 15).
Tips from the makeup creator
Use Vitalumiere Aqua after your daily skincare, without a sponge or brush. After shaking, dab onto the face with fingertips and blend outwards with smoothing movements.
Non- comedogenic. Oil free.
CHANEL
LES 4 OMBRES
#14 MYSTIC EYES
![]() |
Chanel #14 Mystic Eyes eyeshadow quad SWATCHES |
In my modest opinion, using Chanel eyeshadows when creaating your makeup look, is taking it to the next level!
The quality is amazing, the colours are beautiful and I think I developed an addiction to Chanel makeup, in general!
I bring this quad with me, wherever I go! It's perfect for everyday eyes, as well as for the night time/special occasions looks!
4 Ombres eyeshadow palette has been created to offer a perfect harmony of luminous, contrasting shades for a makeup look that can go from ultra- natural to extremely sophisticated. Choose, combine and play with shades endlessly. Use colours on their own or together, for beautiful eyes and perfect results every time.
Les 4 Ombres eyeshadows are based on an exceptional manufacturing process that gives the powder exceptional qualities: infinite softness for easy application and a perfectly even colour and texture for flawless blending.
Chanel baked- powder eyeshadows can be used dry for a soft and delicate makeup result, or damp for a more intense colour and even longer- lasting hold.
Tips from the makeup creator
- Soft effect or quick makeup: use a single shade on the entire eyelid and blend in well.
- Shadowed or contrasting effect: use light and dark shades in a duo: the light shade below the arch of the eyebrow and the dark shade on the upper eyelid or on the crease of the eyelid to give depth to the eyes.
- Multi-shade effect or sophisticated makeup: use three shades, one after the other- from the darkest to the lightest.
- Intense effect: apply slightly dampened powder with the applicator.
- Eyeliner effect: use the powder slightly damp and draw a line along the base of the upper lashes.
If the applicator is damp, let it air dry before replacing in the case.
Those were the tips!
I hope you liked this haul :)
