Decleor Hydra Floral Anti-Pollution Flower Nectar Moisturising Cream

Picture is from www.feelunique.com

I have used Decleor Hydra Floral Anti-Pollution Flower Nectar Cream for quite long time now. I first tried this cream a year ago when I ordered Decleor Aroma Cleanse Cleansing Milk & Tonifying Lotion Special Edition Duo from Feelunique and this cream sample came with that duo as a gift. After using the sample (15ml -which is very big sample) I bought the full size product and now I am again using sample size that I received about 8 months ago with the same duo.

 

The sample

It is surprising that I have used the same creme for so long time. It is pricier then some other products that i have used ( it costs £36,55 = €45,69 at feelunique.com) but it has been probably one of the best day creams that i´ve used. 

So what they say about this cream at www.decleor.com: 

This smooth nectar cream is a new-generation moisturiser combining the technology of aquaporins – true cell irrigation channels – with targeted active plant ingredients.
It leaves the skin beneath a veil of freshness in order to help:
-relax and quench (Aromatic Mint and Orange Blossom Waters),
-hydrate (Extracts of Codium and Wild Pansy),
-protect against the environmental pollution (Micro-Proteins of Moringa Oleifera).
Neroli Essential Oil, with soothing properties, plays a powerful carrier role for other active ingredients providing improved effectiveness.

Result: Perfectly hydrated, your skin appears soft, supple and healthy.

Ingredients:
Water (Aqua), Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Water, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Squalane, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride, Myreth-3 Myristate, Corylus Avellana (Hazel) Seed Oil, Stearic Acid, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Cetyl Alcohol, PEG-6, PEG-32, Saccharide Isomerate, Panthenol, Dimethicone, Cetyl Palmitate, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Neroli Oil, Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract, Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extract, Codium Tomentosum Extract, Citrus Aurantium Amara (Bitter Orange) Flower Water, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Sorbitan Stearate, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polyacrylamide, Triethanolamine, Retinyl Palmitate, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Tocopheryl Acetate, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Dextrin, Tetrasodium EDTA, Laureth-7, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance (Parfum), Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Linalool, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Limonene, Geraniol, Sodium Benzoate, BHT.

What I like about it: 
- It doesn´t contain mineral oil
- it is paraben free
- it has mild delicate scent
- absorbs nicely
- leaves my skin well moisturised
- doesn´t irritate my skin
- doesn´t cause me pimples
- a little goes a long way


What I don´t like:
- the price
- it is bit too much for summer 


I would give this cream 4,5 points out of 5




Decleori Hydra Floral Anti-Pollution Flower Nectar niisutavat kreemi olen ma nüüdseks vahelduva eduga kasutanud rohkem kui aasta. Esimest korda proovisin ma seda siis kui ma tellisin feelunique.com´st Decleori näopuhastuspiima ja näopuhatusvee duo ja selle kreemi tester oli kaasas kingituseks. Peale testri kasutamist (mille suurus 15ml) ostsin juba täissuuruses toote ja nüüd kasutan järgmist testrit.

Minu joaks on üllatav see, et ma olen sama kreemi kasutanud nüüdseks nii kaua. Ta on kallim kui mõned teised kreemid, mida ma kasutanud olen (feelunique.com´s maksab see kreem 45,69€) aga see on üks parimaid kreeme mida ma kasutanud olen.

Mis mulle selle kreemi juures meeldib:
- Ei sisalda mineraalõli
- ei sisalda parabeene
- sellel on mõnus tagasihoidlik lõhn
- imendub hästi
- jätab mu naha mõnusalt niisutatuks
- ei ärrita mu nahka
- ei tekita punne, vistrikke
- jätkub kauaks

Mis mulle ei meeldi:
- hind!
- suvel kasutamiseks jääb liiga raskeks

Kokkuvõttes annaksin 4,5 punkti 5st sellele kreemile.

Wet´n´Wild Eyeshadow Trio Sweet As Candy

Sweet As Candy is my fourth eyeshadow palette from Wet´n´Wild. This one I bought from Seppälä. I have used it almost everyday now and I like it a lot. I think this eyeshadow trio is perfect for everyday because it gives nice, simple and quite natural look. It stays on all day without creasing  and it is easy to blend and remove. It might happen that during the day some of the eyeshadow falls out and then you have some shiny particles under your eye. But that happened only couple of times when I probably somehow put too much eyeshadow on my eyelids :P

Sweet As Candy on minu neljas Wet´n´Wild´i lauvärvi trio, mille ma ostsin seekord Seppäläst. Ma olen seda triot nädala jooksul kasutanud igapäevaselt ja seni on muljed positiivsed. Minu arvates on see trio väga sobiv igapäevaseks kasutamiseks kuna tulemus on kena, lihtne ja üsna loomulik. Lauvärvid püsivad peal kogupäeva ilma, et nad kortsukestesse koguneksid ja neid värve on lihtne hajutada ja eemaldada. Võib juhtuda, et päeva jooksul veidi lauvärvi siiski pudeneb silma alla, aga minuga juhtus see vaid paaril korral ja sedagi tõenäoliselt, et ma hommikul vist veidi üle pingutasin ja liiga palju lauvärvi kasutasin :P

And here are the pics

And swatches. First swatch is made without primer and second one is with e.l.f. eyelid primer. As you can see the colours are much more intensive with primer.

Institut Arnaud Gentle Foam with Poppy Flower

I bought Institut Arnaud Mousse Douceur from Tartu Kaubamaja in July and I have used it ever since. I use this foam morning and night and I like it a lot. It reminds me Dermosil Cleansing mousse E, but it is pricier.

Ingredients / koostis

Promises on the packaging/ Lubadused pakendil

What I like:
- it has very mild scent
- cleanses my face gently without making it dry or tight
- very convenient to use: just press and use
- hasn´t caused me pimples 
- removes light daily makeup (e.g powder)
- nice airy foam :D


What I don´t like:
- it doesn´t remove heavier makeup and eyemakeup


4,5 points out of 5 :D


Institut Arnaud mooniõieekstraktiga näopuhastusvahu kõikidele nahatüüpidele ostsin ma juulis Tartu Kaubamajast. Olen seda kasutanud nüüdseks siis 1,5 kuud hommikuti ja õhtuti ning mulle meeldib see näopuhastusvaht väga! Institut Arnaud näopuhastusvaht meenutab mulle Dermosili puhastusvahtu E, aga ta on hinnalt kallim.

Mis mulle selle juures meeldib:
- õrn meeldiv lõhn
- puhastab mu näo õrnalt muutmata seda kuivaks ja kiskuvaks
- väga mugav kasutada: vajuta ja kasuta
- ei ole mulle tekitanud punne jms nahaprobleeme
- eemaldab kergema igapäevase meigi (nt puudri)
- mõnus õhuline vaht

Mis mulle ei meedi:
- ei eemalda raskemat meiki ja silmameiki

Kokkuvõttes 4,5 punkti 5st
