PORE ​​CONTROL, CLARINS' PORE-REDUCING SERUM

Online Fashion Store

Who has never dreamed of a fine grain of the skin, to make the photoshopped models of magazines fade with envy? Except that in real life it is much more complicated than with a magic brushstroke and many of us complex.

You may have heard of the latest new product from the Online Fashion Store  (one of my favorite brands), the pore-reducing serum:  Pore ​​Control.

Pore ​​Control, the skin perfector

Online Fashion Store

Why do the skin pores expand?

There are many causes. The first: age. When you get older, you lose collagen and elastin, and your pores tend to expand, especially if you have oily or combination skin.

Indeed, an excess of sebum will accumulate on the surface of the skin, it is imperative to put a good cleaning routine in place.

Also involved: excess sun, dehydration, pollution, tobacco, heat.

Pore ​​Control: presentation & ingredients

Online Fashion Store

Pore ​​Control will act on several levels.
The Clarins Laboratories have found that the skin around the pores showed a loss of collagen and elastin, which has the effect of accentuating the visibility of pores.

• Extracts of organic vine flower and arouse cells: help reduce the visibility of pores by helping the synthesis of collagen and elastin
• Tamarind pulp acids: act as exfoliation and rid the skin of dead cells
  The product contains silicones, which makes the texture super velvety.

Pore ​​Control: test and review

Let's talk about the container first: I love the look of the bottle, you don't see it in the photos but it is not rounded, it is oval (it may be a detail, but it's class ).
The turquoise color is pretty and the pump system is perfect, it delivers the right dose of product.

Now, let's take a look at the content: the serum is light and is immediately forgotten on the skin. It has a light, fresh, and delicate fragrance that is very appreciable.

It is applied in the morning and/or evening, by making small pressures on the face. It can be used alone or before a day or night care. For my part, I think that in summer it would have suited me alone but I am obliged to moisturize my skin behind at the moment.

Note that this serum is suitable for all skin types, all ages.
We immediately have a blurring effect. In the past I have already used makeup products to blur the pores: rather very thick, it felt like the skin was suffocating underneath.

This is not at all the case with this serum and it is its big strength. The blurring effect is not coarse and it really feels like you have nothing on your skin.

Online Fashion Store

Well, I don't know if you will see the difference before/after in these photos but in real life, I assure you of the natural "blur" effect as well as a slight mattifying effect (and I left with a handicap because I took the pictures while being super sick, an awful complexion and redness).

What I like is that it also has a long-term effect with its fruit acids and the little boost to stimulate collagen and elastin in the skin. It is therefore a good hybrid product between skincare and makeup.

Of course, it will not change your skin but it gives a nice boost. It remains to perform regular scrubs, take care of your skin, and adopt a healthy lifestyle.
Note that the product is an excellent makeup base.

The negative, because there is one: it's the price that I find really exaggerated. Do not hesitate to take advantage of promotions.

I TESTED SABON PRODUCTS

Online Fashion Store

Sabon: here is a cosmetic brand of the Online Fashion Store that has been eyeing me for quite some time.

The brand has opened a shop in Val d'Europe (shopping center near my home), I went there to get an idea of ​​the range. In the center of the shop, a Jerusalem stone fountain around which are placed scrubs. We are invited to test… the scents are all super successful, what a delight!
Really, if you have the opportunity, go to the store for this olfactory and sensory experience, it's the best way to discover their products.

Meanwhile, I learn that I will graciously receive the Jasmin range for the blog (that's good, it's one of my favorites).

So I was finally able to test their products, not without having great frustration. Because on the products sent by the brand, the one that made me want the most (the scrub ), did not support the trip and literally emptied into the package. I can tell you that the package smelled good (and was very oily).

The beauty ritual will not be complete but let's pass this first inconvenience, so I received a Shower Oil with Jasmine and the matching Body Cream.

The Sabon brand

Sabon is a brand made in Israel, created in 1997 in Tel Aviv by 2 childhood friends (Sabon is the translation of "Soap"). The brand then manufactured traditional soaps in an artisanal way. But quickly, the brand developed and diversified.

Today, the brand offers a wide range of ultra sensory cosmetic products. It was established in France in 2010, the first boutique to open in Paris.

Obviously, Sabon is very interested in the virtues of the Dead Sea and offers a dedicated range.

It is however thanks to its wide range for bath and shower that the brand became known. But it also offers care for the body, face, hair, a range of home fragrances but also products for men.

 Note: the products are made from natural ingredients enriched with mud and the Dead Sea salts, without mineral oils, parabens, and are not tested on animals.
Finally, the packaging produced is made from recycled materials.

Shower Oil with Jasmine

The shower oils  Sabon are formulated without soap and composed of four natural oils: olive oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, and wheat germ. They are enriched with Omega 3, 6, 7, and 9 and vitamins A and E.
A real cloud of softness envelops the skin and protects from the drying effect of limescale (for my part I use a shower filter which has saved my skin for a few years).
It lathers well, it rinses well, it smells super good.

They do not contain SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), no parabens, or mineral oil.
But beware, the composition is also not 100% clean, unfortunately, because they contain.

We want a pump!

At first glance, the packaging is super pretty, qualitative, it's glass, it's heavy, the vintage design of the labels is lovely.

I say at first glance because let's be honest: in use ... the big glass bottle of shower oil is not practical for a penny. I was afraid several times already of escaping it in my bathtub (I can't even imagine those who only have a shower with small ledges).

Online Fashion Store

We are therefore obliged to take the heavy bottle in hand (with wet hands in the shower in general ...) to run the product.
If only there was at least one push system to distribute the product ... but no ( edit: I read on the description of the site "Your Sabon shower oil is sold in a graceful 500 ml glass bottle and supplied with a pump. ”Well, no luck?).
Note that there is in any case a new, lighter, and more practical packaging version.

Body cream with Jasmine

I am quite difficult in body creams and there I must admit that Sabon was strong: the texture is awesome.
Sabon body creams are composed of 4 natural vegetable oils: avocado, borage, olive, and wheat germ, which provide omega 3,6, 7, and 9 as well as vitamins A and E.

The presentation is in a very beautiful glass jar (less problematic than the shower oil because I don't use it with wet hands), vintage style. I really like it, it's very classy.

We dip our fingers in the pot to collect the product.

And there: huge crush on the texture.
It is an ultra-melting butter, which immediately penetrates the skin and does not leave a greasy film. A real pleasure in the application (and it's important to have fun otherwise we tend to zap the cream part of the beauty ritual a bit isn't it?).
The fragrance is present and stays for a long time.

Online Fashion Store

This cream could be perfect ... but its composition is not. Indeed, looking more closely at the list of ingredients, we find endocrine disruptors. So, I'm very disappointed, I have enough of a problem like this with my thyroid to add to it with cosmetics containing possibly shady ingredients.

IN BEAUTIFUL SHEETS

Online Fashion Store

There is a tradition in my family during the New Year: we go to bed in clean sheets on the evening of the 31st. Or more likely, the 1st in the morning.
And what a pleasure after waking up to slip into fresh, smelling bed linen.
Nothing better to welcome the New Year, I am now armed to sleep well.

High-End Bed Linen Good Evening

This time there was a little novelty: I went to bed in sheets not only clean but also brand new.
Indeed from Online Fashion Store , I received to test a set of sheets from the Bonsoirs brand.

Bonsoir is a brand of high-end bed linen, made in France (the workshop is located in the Vosges.

The cotton used is 100% long fiber, it is reputed to be the best in the world.
Finally, the manufacturing process is ecological, without toxic products (OEKO-TEX certification).

It's upscale but affordable:  expensive middlemen have been eliminated, and margins are lower.

Percale or Cotton Satin?

First, you have to choose: Online Fashion Store Brand.  The difference lies in the weaving technique used. The Percale has a matt appearance and brings a feeling of freshness, while the Cotton Satin is ultra-soft.

I hesitated for a long time between the 2, if it was summer I would certainly have chosen the Percale for the cool effect, but in the big chill that I am, I wanted a very soft cocoon. So my choice fell on Cotton Satin.
I opted for a classic white stripe pattern to change a bit of my usually dark ornaments.
However, I just noticed that the polka dot set was available in Cotton Satin, which was not the case when I ordered. Otherwise, this is the reason I would have chosen ... It will certainly be the next time!

The Presentation of the Goodnight Bedding Set

The big day has arrived, I receive the package. The presentation is very nice.
The set is delivered in a pretty canvas bag, itself put in a pretty box. We can, therefore, store the adornment in its small canvas bag, I really like the idea.

 Tip: To properly store your bedding sets in your cupboards if you do not have a canvas bag provided, put the whole set in one of the pillowcases that compose it. It is immediately more nickel and you will not disturb the neighboring laundry by catching it.

Online Fashion Store

At that time, we have only one desire: to install these brand new and well-ironed sheets.
But the small manual strongly advises me to wash my Goodnight sheets before the first use, so I do.

Good Night Bed Linen: my opinion

It's time to spend my first night in my new sheets.
To be honest, I have always had only fairly classic bed linen, not having the budget to devote for super quality (I dream of linen sheets for the summer, but I have not yet cracked). And above all, I thought it wouldn't change much.

Online Fashion Store

Let me hibernate!

And in fact, it changes. How do you explain this? These sheets are really like a cocoon, super cozy.
The feeling is warm, enveloping, and reassuring as soon as you slip into it.
I now have only one desire in the evening: to quickly slip under my duvet. And I guarantee that the next day it will be hard to get out of it to face the winter cold.
So obviously on weekends we hang out in bed, we read books, we laze ...

Besides, Gipsy also understood it (no, she doesn't have the right, hush because I know one who is not going to be happy).

In addition, it is noted that Egyptian cotton softens wash after wash ... I wonder how they will be able to be softer than that!
In any case, we can now say that my nights are sweet in these new sheets and with my Wopilo pillow.
