Rehydrating Goodness

These two goodies are the newest additions to my skin care regime.  On the left is the Tonique Confort by Lancôme, that promises to rehydrate and comfort dry skin, and on the left is Dr Sebagh's Natural Replenishing Cream.  The Lancôme product could well be the best toner I have ever used.  The consistency is quite thick, not like many other toners, and this probably also explains the fantastic feeling it leaves on the skin, because it is like a gel that sweep over the face with.  Skin is left super smooth after that. However, as I have just started using it, I cannot really guarantee for the rehydrating properties that it is said to poses, yet, I am very optimistic.  

The moisturiser by Dr Sebagh is the first product I have bought from this brand.  I am aware of other products in this line e.g. the rose serum, that have had tremendous success.  The texture and smell of the moisturiser are fantastic, it feels great on the skin and is absorbed quickly, not leaving behind an oily film on the skin.  It is specifically said to replenish dehydrated skin, which is why I chose this one over richer creams, as I did not want to put additional oil on my skin, rather I wanted it to be infused with water.  I think this cream might be great in the summer or only as a day cream because it is a fantastic base for foundation, however, at night I feel like my skin just drinks the moisturiser up and there is not enough to it to replenish. Other than that, I will continue to use it in the summer, as well as using it in the morning, but I will perhaps go for another moisturiser for the night.

Golden Fingers

There is such great jewellery available at the moment, and there are styles for everyone available.  I am really enjoying gold at the moment, as I am desperately awaiting spring and the gold adds a little warmth to any outfit.  These four rings are a great combination, but they are also fantastic pieces to be worn alone.  The snake ring on the far left is by Aurelie Bidermann, and can be found e.g. at net-a-porter.com.  Snake rings can be found in both silver and gold, and often can become even more exciting with different coloured stones to accent e.g. the eyes in red.  The bone ring and the above-knuchle ring are both from Brandy Melville.  There is great, uncomplicated jewellery to be found there, and at very affordable prices.  There is a shop on King's Road in Chelsea, so be sure to check out their website brandymelvilleusa.com or check out their store!  The rings are very simple, yet this lets you experiment with building up different layers of rings, perhaps also combing gold and silver.  This works especially well with the above-knuckle ring with the cross and the small stone, as this will match silver really well.  The Rita & Zia ring is probably familiar to you by now, it is my absolute staple, have it in both gold and silver now and it immediately transforms a hand from being bare to being an eye catcher. Above all, I love gold and dark blue together, so really it is a given to combine these two together!  The colour is Midnight Swim by Shellac.
