Ana’s Favourites
Alpha-H Vitamin C with Grape Seeds
It’s not a piece of news that vitamin C is pretty much the Holy Grail of skincare. Because it’s great whether you’re blemish-prone or dry-skinned, and it generally works easily into most skincare routines helping to neutralise sun-damaged, dark spots and accelerated ageing.
For me, to have a good skin texture (sometimes not-easy) and a natural glow is really important. Both go hand in hand and can be achieved with similar ingredients. I’ve tried the Alpha-h vitamin C for about two months and I love how gentle it’s with the surface of my skin encouraging glow, clarity, smoothness, and noticeable, overall skin-healthiness. The bonus? when we thought vitamin C skincare couldn’t get any better, Alpha H released this vitamin C that also has hyaluronic acid.
Kevin Murphy Ever Smooth
After being at home during the lockdown, it feels so good to come back to “normal” and have a nice at-home-blow dry before my next meeting. I have to say that I can not wash my hair and not use this bad boy as it really takes my blow-dry to next level, worth of this month’s favourites. It’s basically a lightweight formula that treats as it protects, designed to keep hair silky smooth, frizz-free, voluminous, protected and smelling hair like you just finished your salon appointment. Have I mentioned that also cut down on drying time?
The Extra Bonus: The ingredients are not just as great as its result also the packaging is made in line with sustainable practises using Ocean Waste Plastic bottles.
Grown Alchemist Generating Night Cream.
In the interest of supercharging my nighttime routine, I decided to give a try (thank god) to the Grown Alchemist Generating Night Cream It feels amazing.
The blend of peptides, antioxidants, vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and essential omega fatty acids melts in like I haven’t anything on my face. My skin feels so smooth and happy. My favourite moment these days, when I look in the mirror, I’m a bit peeved that my boyfriend is already asleep and that no one else is here to witness this radiance! I wake up the next day feeling pampered and way happier with my skin than usual.
Belen’s Favourites
EVO CURL RANGE
If you followed Caviar Feeling for a while you might know that I’m one of those curly gals, always looking to enhance my wild mane and make the most of this not usual “condition”. If not you’re more than welcomed to enjoy the ride and learn all about the range that has changed it all for me, straight to my favourites, and I’m not being exaggerate, you’ll understand everything in a second. I’m talking about the new EVO Curl range, with a few products that I’m not sure my hair will be able to live without from now on.
Let’s talk curls, my favourite part is that thanks to my hair texture I tend to wash my hair just once per week so a deep cleanse is all that I look for on my shampoo, the springsclean is perfect to build-up dirt and excess oil without stripping away the moisture on the scalp, just apply it smoothly section by section, massage and rinse.
The next step is the baby got bounce, made for thirsty curls like mine, in case you were wondering, not your hair is not dry is just that a curly texture needs more hydration and moisture than normal hair. I love how easy to use is this treatment, made as a spray formula you don’t need to worry about using an excessive amount of product that your doesn’t really need.
The only thing you need to be careful is to squeeze excess water on your hair so the product can penetrate into your curls at its best. Now spray and comb it, I like to do it with my fingers for a more natural finish but you can use a wide-tooth comb if you feel comfier, wait up to 3-5 minutes, and we’re ready to rinse.
The last step is the liquid rollers, my favourite part and where the real magic happens, I used to style my hair with mousse but this curl balm is the real deal, it hydrates, enhances and leave that touchable curls everyone will be asking you to, no frizz all day long, moisturized and happy curls is all you be getting.
Minenssey, Hydrating Complete Eye Cream
I got a lot of good things from my mom but the undeniable bags under my eyes weren’t one. Since I can recall, I have these annoying companions within me. It doesn’t matter if I have a great week of sleep (which lately is not happening often, I blame Mercury Retrograde) or not at all, the area under my eyes is looking at me like I’m an always tired girl. This Probiotic formula has impressed me with a fresher and hydrated look, a moment my eyes haven’t witnessed before.
I have to say that I’ve been pampering my eyes with this hydrating eye cream for the last month, morning and night no skipping one, and my eyes are looking fresher and brighter than usual worth to be a favourite this month.
Why? This all-star eye cream is formulated with ABC Yoghurt Dermal Respiratory Factor that increases cellular respiration, cellular metabolism, and collagen production. Using bio-fermentation and various filtration techniques, the active ingredient is extracted from live Lactobacillus cells to deliver anti-aging benefits and anti-irritant properties. Now you know probiotics are also good for your eye care and to say bye to unwanted crow’s feet.
Fenty Beauty, CHEEKS OUT FREESTYLE CREAM BRONZER
At this very moment we should be enjoying the European summer or at least getting ready to do so, (one of my favourite times of the year) but unfortunately, this year that’s not an option. What do you think if we could bring that summer glow within us?
This creamy bronzer has jumped straight into my favourites, it effortlessly melts into skin to warm up any complexion leaving a fresh-faced that looks good on everyone. Another extra point for Riri’s collection is that you can easily build up your desired finish whether you are looking for a more bronzed, defined, or contoured skin.
Best applied with your fingers; I know we are getting muddier here, and you’ll face will thank you for it, you can always use an asymmetric brush if you’re not so into touching your skin directly. Once applied I can feel like on vacay, and soon you’ll feel it too. You’re welcome!
