Van Take-out in Couture online:

I'm not going to lie, it takes some pretty extraordinary products to drag me away from my regular beauty regime.  Once I find products that work, I tend to stick with them.  This is probably one of the reasons  that I don't usually post about too many beauty or skincare products on my blog.  I just use the same things over and over again.Well, I still love you Chanel, but I am switching to Suki for skincare.  A week ago, the 100% natural skincare brand sent over a selection of products for me to try and I've been hooked on them ever since.

One of the things that I was most excited about is trying was the exfoliate foaming cleanser, which contains organic lemongrass extract, natural sugar, non-gmo rice flour, and organic chamomile extract.  I use it once a day, although how often you would use it depends on how sensitive your skin is.  I was in serious need of an exfoliator and this is the best one that I've ever tried.  It's gentle enough for me that I can use it once a day, it smells divine, and it really gets the job done.  I swear, my skin has never felt so smooth. This exfoliator helps to unclog pores, smooth away dryness, lines and wrinkles, as well as remove dead skin cells. You can use it on your lips too!

Suki sent along lip repair butter, which has become another fast favorite.  It's a long-wearing matte lip treatment, which is perfect for applying before your favorite lipstick.

The other products that I've been using are part of the complete care for youthful skin kit -which aims to reduce and prevent signs of aging.  The kit contains: moisture-rich cleansing lotion, concentrated nourishing toner, intensive nourishing cream, and an intensive nourishing masque. I seriously can't rave about each of these products enough. While I wouldn't necessarily describe my skin as "problem skin," it has never looked or felt better. I've noticed a reduction in redness, a much more youthful glow, and I've been skipping wearing foundation. Seriously!   Coming from a PhD student that regularly skimps on sleep and occasionally forgets to wash her face before bed (I know, I know), this is definitely saying something.

Inika’s Light Reflecting Highlighting Crème heeft een Glosscar gewonnen! Glosscars worden uitgereikt door de Australische beauty-experts van Beautyheaven.

Als toelichting bij de uitreiking gaf de jury de volgende toelichting:

       "This is my favourite product in the whole of the Glosscars list.  I love

         this cream, it is very versatile.  It is easy to use on cheek bones, brow

         bone and even a little bit blended all over the face to give a beautiful

         glow.  The cream is very hydrating and makes my skin feel great too.

         Great ingredients as well."

Wij vinden de Light Reflect Highlighting Crème heel fijn omdat ie heel subtiel is, fluweelachtig aanvoelt en geen glanzend effect heeft, maar op je huid transformeert tot een matte glow.  Je kunt de crème aanbrengen op je jukbeenderen, onder je wenkbrauwen, je ooghoek en je slapen – voor een stralende huid.  Zoals alle producten van Inika is ook de Highlighting Crème 100% veganistisch en biologisch.
