Vitalumiere Aqua perfecting foundation with Chanel

When I say I have tried a myriad of foundations I would be underestimating. Isn’t it funny how sometimes the very product that we are using to achieve that flawless complexion can actually worsen or intensify the appearance of our skin complaints? I have, over many years, tried what seems like every conceivable tinted moisturiser / foundation, in a quest to find ‘the one’. A little like a first date with an unknown guy, concerns over whether he will be too smothering or totally underwhelming….

I have oily skin, I would argue the most frustrating skin type (although we are told we ‘age better’ I’m not so sure that blessing is worth the inconvenience of battling with excess sebum!). I have the common battle of ‘less is more’ in order to pacify ‘Mr Sebum’ but equally I want to achieve that flawless look that all my fiends have. What a conundrum.

It seems I have found ‘the one’, let me introduce you to Vitalumiere Aqua by Chanel

I have been using this beautiful product for almost two years now and I honestly can’t rave about it enough. I was first introduced by Emma of ambleandash.com and I haven’t looked back since (she had slightly different problematic skin and couldn’t get enough of this wonderful product)

Lets talk radiance boosting. Now I have a bad relationship with foundations that feel heavy on the skin and primarily those that mattify the skin within an inch of its life. This product is seriously light weight, almost as a second skin; providing a luminous and energised complexion.

I apply with a Real Techniques foundation brush

For daytime, I apply lightly and for evening I build it to more of a medium coverage; that’s the beauty of this product-it can be built up to a higher level of coverage when wanted. It has a composition of ‘high definition light’ particles to make the skin look more luminous and even. Containing Lotus water and seaweed derivative, my skin feels energised and toned, plus it has the all important SPF15.

I use shade 20 beige, but it is available in various shades, from fair to dark skin.

So, a rave about a product which has been tried and tested, a real life review which is worth a read- after all, I only promote products that I feel truly deserve it. If you are after a light weight foundation, that doesn’t disturb the balance, this could well be right for you.

Have a great evening all,

Age Defy + Hydra-Glow Sleep Mask with Green People

Okay, I’ve tipped the balance of my mid-thirties, isn’t it daunting? As much as I tell myself age is only a number; suddenly my once sketchy beauty regime in my 20’s has kicked into overdrive. Im busy identifying and re-identifying my skin type, trying out every conceivable facial and cream to shave off a few years (well even a few months would be a result right?) and, like a lot of us, wonder if spending a little more on skincare products is really worth while?

I am, very occasionally sent products to try and thats exactly what I do, before I decide whether they are worthy enough to rave about; after all, its so important to me to only promote products that are REALLY worth buying.

This brings me to what I regard as a truly beautiful product, Green People’s Hydra-Glow Sleep Mask Created by Green People’s very own founder, Charlotte Vohtz and especially tailored for women 35+.

Enriched with 35 beauty enhancing actives, this ‘beauty boosting’ sleep mask is designed to replenish and restore skin overnight. Rich in Green Macro Algae -acting to stimulate collagen and caesalpinia spinosa which provides intense hydration and an increase in long term firmness. The texture of this cream is silk-like, gliding on like a total dream. Scented with citrus notes, the aroma aids a real sense of relaxation too.

  • Hydra-Glow Sleep Mask

My skin is mostly oily and like many people this kind of year, I have the prolonged battle of replacing moisture to that bottom layer of the skin which becomes very dry, but not to disrupt the surface; leading to an increase in excess sebum.

This Sleep Mask is perfect for my skin type. I adore the way it glides on, the relaxing aroma is dreamy just before bedtime and most of all; when I wake up my skin really does feel restored, replenished and (dare I say it) I see see a vast improvement in the texture and glow of my complexion…even in November? I hear you say!

What’s more? The product is 91% organic AND is suitable for those that suffer from eczema and psoriasis.

Pop it on your Christmas list guys, I don’t think you’ll regret it! check out the reviews here.

Green people are offering a Black Friday deal of 3 for 2 on all products across the range with code BF432 offer ends 02.12.19.

Have a great evening all,
