Stay Fresh Deodorant With Organic Aloe Vera by Yves Rocher

This roll-on deodorant is a good option for those of you who look for an aluminum free product. I like it as it has a fresh scent and works well even on a hot summer day. Besides, it does not stain the clothing and it is very gentle too - does not sting when used straight after shaving.
The deodorant is not only aluminum salts free - it does not contain any parabens/colorant either.

Eye Makeup With Eyeshadow Trio by Yves Rocher

Lovely! Lovely! Lovely! These Summer Collection 3 Pearl Effect Eye Shadows are! Actually they belong to 2014 Summer Collection by Yves Rocher, but I just recently bought this beautiful trio. The shades are ultra-pigmented and long lasting - simply gorgeous. The smoky blue is more on the matte side. The light bronze and golden beige are beautiful, ultra-shimmering colors though. During the application (and not only) they shine and sparkle like particles of gold in the sunshine. So wonderful! Another advantage is that the eye shadows are paraben free.


I tried them in different makeup options - using the blue eye shadow to crease or applying it to the eyelids. Both results were good - in the first case: the beige and bronze were exposed so nicely. The second way made the look rather bold but not too bold to wear it as an everyday makeup style.
The summer sun exposes the sparkling beauty of the eye shadows. The trio ($10) is perfect to create a sunny, holiday look.

1. Golden Beige - base on the eyelid. Bronze in the middle of the eyelid only. 



2. Golden Beige used as base. Bronze on the entire eyelid. Blue eye pencil by YR.



3. Golden Beige used as base. Smoky Blue on the eyelid. Bronze - crease. Blue eye pencil.

Face Care: Velvety Facial Moisturizer by Yves Rocher

My face care is a bit complex as my face does not like most face creams: so many, even expensive ones, cause allergic reactions to their ingredients. Unfortunately, it includes anti wrinkles and serums too. Although I do not know which exactly ingredients bring that terrible discomfort to some part of my face, I have noticed one regularity: the more natural (considering the ingredients) a cream is, the better my face skin tolerates it.
Within years, I have found a few face creams which work well for me. One of them is Velvety Moisturizer with Organic Aloe Vera by Yves Rocher. It is a truly great product. It not only hydrates the skin well but it is also gentle enough to be used as an under eye area hydrating treatment, without any eye irritation. The creamy texture of the moisturizer is absorbed by the skin quite quickly, without leaving a greasy film, which makes it a good makeup base too.
The cream contains organic aloe vera  'which is known in traditional medicine as a multipurpose skin treatment'*. Some of the Moisturizer's ingredients also are:
  • sesame seed oil,
  • shea butter,
  • vegetable oil,
  • jojoba seed oil,
  • cacao seed butter,
  • corn starch,
  • candelilla wax.

From the manufacturer:
  • 99% of the total ingredients are from natural origin,
  • the moisturizer is paraben, mineral oil and colorant free,
  • for normal to combination skin.

The cream does comfort and revitalize my face skin (which is rather on a dry side) with a long lasting moisturizing effect. It has a delicate and pleasant scent. The price of the product is an advantage too (especially that it is often available with 50% discount).
All in all, I find the Velvet Moisturizer really good.
Thank you Yves Rocher!
