MakeUp4All AUTUMN 2011 Online Beauty Magazine

I’ve been promising this post for a long time already so here it is finally!

I have very dry and often flaky skin and I have tried  a lot of body creams, and, in my opinion, this is probably the best one I’ve found so far. It works great for winter  even for my skin type so, most likely, will work for you, too.

I am talking about Bioderma Atoderm PP Anti-Reccurence Emollient Balm.

Bioderma is famous for their Sensibio H2O  but they have a lot of other amazing products.

This product was actually recommended to me at the shop by the sales assistant. She also recommended Oilatum bath products to me, so I am definitely going to try them in the future.

The great thing about Bioderma Atoderm PP Anti-Recidive Anti-Reccurence Emollient Balm Severe And Recurrent Cutaneous Dryness is that it can be used both on face and body.

So what about my impression?

When I first heard about the Linden Leaves, a beautiful skincare range from New Zealand, I  really liked pretty much everything about the brand.

I loved the clean and sophisticated packaging,  the series that the products are divided into and the story behind the brand. Plus they also have two series for men – Pure Man and Rugby.

I also liked their website,  it gave me this idea of a natural and soothing skincare line. There are actually a lot of products to choose from so it was very hard. But I’ve decided to try the scrub from the Herbalist line which is called Sugar Salt Exfoliating Body Rub and the Memories Body Oil from the Aromatherapy Synergy range.

 Herbalist  Sugar Salt Exfoliating Body Rub, €23.53 (200g / 7.05 oz)

It’s great to have a sugar salt scrub as most are just sugar or salt, so now you don’t have to choose. The first thing that I’ve noticed about this  product – its unusual and rather strong scent. I can’t quite describe it but I’d say that Herbalist is a great name for this product.

The rub contains essential oil of basil (‘to stimulate circulation and invigorate’), clary sage (‘to ease muscular aches and relax and de-stress the mind‘), and evening primrose oil (‘to nourish and hydrate’).  Other ingredients are: jojoba oil and sweet almond oil (‘to moisturise and soothe inflamed skin’).

This is a really lovely product,  I find that it effectively but gently exfoliates my skin, leaving it smooth and ready for a moisturizer! It doesn’t hurt or damage the skin as it contains essential oils.  As for the scent, I don’t think that I’ve had anything with a similar one, but,luckily, I like it. I find it calming and relaxing!

 Memories Body Oil , € 31.93 (250 ml)

Now this is a very unique product. Although

So we continue looking at some great body moisturizers for winter. I have already told you about the Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Cream and today I want to tell you about the Fresh Brown Sugar Body Cream. Actually about the Fresh Sugar Flirt Alert Set which I was given to show you.

This set includes:

Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15, ’blends reparative oils and waxes together with real sugar for delectable and dependable moisture’.

Brown Sugar Body Cream,’ an ultra-rich, nourishing moisturizer that leaves skin silky smooth and velvety soft and is infused with an invigorating natural citrus scent.’

There is a also a gorgeous gold metallic makeup bag which I love. I used to hate makeup bags like this (gold and metallic) but now I really love them.

The price is £16/$28

A lot of people  have asked me for some body creams reviews as I have very dry skin. So this is why I will be writting about some body creams/balms/lotions that I love in the following few weeks.

We will start with Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Cream.

It is one of the most expensive creams (£49.00/$90 for 200 ml  at Timetospa)  I have used so I was expecting a lot from it. And it does stand up to what is promised!

 So what is promised?

‘Designed with lattice technology to help restore surface cell cohesion, promote intercellular communication and reinforce skin’s natural moisturisation factor.  Helps to smooth out crepey skin texture, deeply hydrates, improves skin contours. The result is a beautifully smooth, luminous and firmer looking body.’

 Key ingredients:  Pro-Collagen

Omorovicza Gold Shimmer Oil. Review and Swatches

I wanted to get something luxurious for my body the other day and I’ve decided to try something from Omorovicza as I’ve heard nothing but good things about the brand.

I’ve decided to get a Gold Shimmer Oil which looks like this before you shake it well to mix the oil with the shimmer.

And here is how it looks like after…

This oil comes in a nice glass bottle with an elegant minimalistic design. As for the oil itself -it smells amazing (I think it’s mainly calendula), absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling moisturized, soft and smooth. It is a perfect product for summer as it gives an amazing glow on a tanned skin. I absolutely love  using it on my arms and legs, it gives a beautiful illuminating/ glamorous (if you prefer) effect.

Here is the list of the ingredients and extended information about some of them from the official website:
