L'occitane Lait Corps Verveine Body Lotion
Lena Borovaya
content director - It so happened that I took this product to the sea, and forgot the special spf cream. Well, I’ll say right away: the milk did an excellent job with such a function. That's not all: the smell is so delicate, subtle and pleasant that I didn't want to use perfume - I wanted to feel only this fragrance on myself. The lotion moisturizes perfectly, even my dry skin. Light texture, cute tube - everything is great in this lotion. I also smeared the child with it a couple of times, and he liked it too. For me it is an ideal all in one remedy, I am satisfied.
Kiehl's Moisturizing Facial Fluid SPF 30
Polina Nepomniachtchi
editor-in-chief - I got this cream from Kiehl’s as never before. I have been looking for a face cream with a good protection factor for a long time, so that it is considered an independent remedy and on which you can then easily apply makeup - and now they sent us a moisturizing fluid for a test. The cream does an excellent job with two of its stated functions: moisturizing and sun protection. I did not notice any other "side" effects. So, I will tell you in order. My skin dries a lot after washing, the cream neutralizes dryness, the skin becomes soft and tender - super. I apply this cream in the morning after a shower, before going outside, I do not use it again during the day. But even this is enough to prevent the face from turning into a tomato (my skin is pale and instantly burning). The cream withstood the sun effectively both at plus 20 and at plus 30.
The only thing I didn't like about this product was the scent. Reminiscent of the smell of regular mass market sunscreen (I don't like it, maybe someone does). But it smells like this only from the tube, the smell does not haunt during the day. In general, even despite the smell, I give this cream a solid five: sun protection is most important to me.
In general, all my friends and acquaintances are delighted with Kiehl’s. This cream is the first product of the brand that I have applied regularly for several weeks. Before that, I only used samples, and it is difficult to evaluate the effect for several applications. I recently bought a night restoring concentrate, from which everyone is delighted. Let's see what he is capable of.
Toning treatment against age spots SPF 50+ Vichy
Ira Morgunova
Senior Editor - To be honest, I didn't really understand this tool. The cream promises to even out the complexion, correct age spots and protect from the sun. He coped with the latter - walking all day in sunny Paris, I was not burned. As for the tone, there are already questions. Yes, of course, the complexion has become a little smoother, but the cream is uneven (when you run your hand over your face, it seems that there are "pellets") and left a feeling of sticky skin. Although, unlike the usual SPF-protected products, the smell of VICHY cream is very pleasant.
L`Occitane Reine Blanche Radiance Scrub
Ira Morgunova
Senior Editor - The name of the line is translated as "White Queen" - I read somewhere that Korean girls and their desire to have perfectly smooth and perfectly snow-white skin became the inspiration for its creation. Although I do not have such ambitions, I liked the scrub, and very much - it has an incredibly cool texture. The cleaning "grains" are so small and so pleasant to the touch that the application process can take several minutes. It is impossible to stop. In addition, the scrub rinses off perfectly - just wash once. And of course, the effect itself is that the skin is soft, radiant and moisturized (after a scrub, you usually want to use the cream as soon as possible, but then I even forgot about it). And yes, a very nice white tube - a pleasure to watch.
Kielh's Oil-Free Moisturizing Face Gel Cream
Anya Borisova
commercial director - The product immediately captivates with its texture - very light, gel and weightless. The cream is quickly absorbed, does not leave an oily sheen, but at the same time it moisturizes and nourishes well throughout the day. When applied, there is a slight cooling effect, which is very important in summer. After a week of application, I noticed that the skin began to look smoother and healthier.
La Roche Posay Anthelios Sunscreen SPF 30
Natasha Bakatura
advertising manager - Creams with SPF are an absolute must-have. The cream fully justifies its name "melting". Its non-greasy and non-sticky texture makes it a pleasure to apply after your regular daytime moisturizer. I used this product especially actively when I was near the water on a hot day - it helped my skin to acquire a beautiful bronze tint without redness and spots. I plan to use the cream until early autumn.
L`Occitane Reine Blanche SPF 50 Facial Fluid
Ira Morgunova
Senior Editor - The first thing I liked was the incredible floral scent that is inherent in all L'Occitane products. But in this product it is somehow especially pleasant. It is recommended to apply the fluid after the day cream to protect the skin from the negative effects of the environment and UV rays. The product has a light texture, it is pleasant to "wear" it on the face and not be afraid that you will burn. After application, a slight radiance appears on the skin - you do not need to apply the highlighter.
Baby sunscreen Édelweiss SPF 50 Weleda
Lena Borovaya
content director - For me, Weleda is one of the best brands of children's cosmetics. And if her other products, which I used, caused complete delight, then this cream is a little less. First, about the good. The cream does not smell (or almost does not smell, because I do not feel it), it is well applied and covers the child with a visible whitish film that protects from the sun. One, two, three baths - the film is in place. Now about what I didn't like. Actually, the presence of this film. I washed it off my face only in the evening (and I don't know if all of it) - such a coating does not look very good and is a little annoying. But the priority, of course, is safety and protection. The tool has no problems with performing these two functions. But I don't like the creamy skin tone of my son - and this is the only negative.
Body luminizer gel I feel glossy by BISOU
Ira Morgunova
Senior Editor - Recently on Instagram I came across an account dedicated to the turbulent 2000s. Remember this era of R&B, clubs, tanning salons, plush tracksuits and The Black Eyed Peas music videos? So, one of the photographs captured the self-proclaimed "queen of glamor" - Paris Hilton. She is wearing a short white dress that perfectly accentuates the super-tanned skin that sparkles with sequins. The buzz!
Since in the 2000s I went to school and my homework did not allow me to take part in a general holiday, I decided, if not to go away, then at least try the glitter cream I feel glossy by BISOU. Let's start with the fact that it lies on the skin in an even layer and moisturizes it perfectly (the smell, by the way, is also pleasant). The cream dries quickly and does not leave greasy marks on clothes. Also, sequins. They are cool. This cream is ideal for beach parties and dancing until the morning. Although even if you do not go to the sea, but you have self-irony and fit for Karina Istomina's cool DJ set, you can safely shine in the city.
Sleep, yoga and relaxation mask HEDONISM
Natasha Bakatura
advertising manager - The mask is packaged in a beautiful lavender paper, tied with an embossed ribbon with a print. Opening it, you are in anticipation of something unusual and fragile. The mask feels soft and pleasant. Putting it on, you feel the smell of lavender (you need to insert a sachet with lavender inside, it comes in the kit) - it calms your thoughts and prepares your mind for sleep. It dawns early in summer, so the mask helped me to sleep well, and not to get up at four in the morning with the sun (I don't always pull the curtains in my apartment) - its shape protects my eyes well from light.
Summer fragrance Versace Versense
Polina Nepomniachtchi
editor-in-chief - I rarely use perfumes in the summer - during this period they seem to me to be something heavy and unnecessary. But this Versace eau de toilette seems to be perfect for summer evenings. The scent is fresh, floral, woody. It is based on bergamot, green mandarin, cardamom, jasmine, musk. I liked the packaging very much - a minimum of details and a pleasant green color, which in dark winter will remind of summer.
Testing a perfume is difficult - the scent is either yours or not. This one is not mine (I love "sweet" perfume). But that doesn't mean at least you shouldn't listen to it in a perfume shop.
