Bioderma Photoderm spf 50 + Compact Mineral Very High Protection

Hi beauties!

As the summer is officialy coming to an end, I'm doing a round up/ overview of all the beauty products that were my favourites during the past couple of months...

Take a note because you might want to try some of these products next year! :)

In this post I'd like to recommend a product that I can easily describe as "my summer best friend", it's Bioderma Photoderm Max spf 50+ Mineral Compact, very high protection for sensitive skin.

Very high sun protection for pale, sensitive skin.
The container holds 10g of the product.
Made in France.

I've already repurchased this product several times, as I need to have it in my beauty bag when the summer approaches, especially for going to the beach/ sunbathing.

Spf 50+ gives you a very high sun protection.

This product is suitable even for the most sensitive skin (I tend to develop allergy to the sun in summertime!)

If your skin is allergic to chemical filters and fragrance, this product is the way to go for you!

It's also suitable for intolerant skin, fragile skin, skin sensitive to UV rays (after a dermatological procedure).

PROPERTIES

The association of anti-UVA/anti-UVB sunscreens of mineral origin offers optimum protection against the harmful effects of UV rays (sunburn, sun allergies, etc.)

It's texture is soft and easy to apply. It evens the complexion and leaves a pleasant powdery finish for an immediate "healthy- glow" effect.

It's preservative free, non comedogenic and hypoallergenic.

I'm using this product in a shade "light colour"

I apply this product evenly and generously before sun exposure.
I always make sure to reapply it before and after swimming, or any kind of sport activities I do on the beach.

I always carry this product with me in my beach bag!

I bought this product at my local pharmacy in Italy, but the first time I bought this product was actually in a pharmacy in Croatia.

Empties #6: Products I've Used Up & Mini Reviews!

Hello beauties!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend!

I have a new "Empties" video for you :) This one is already #6, which means I'm really doing my best at using up the products that I have! I hate accumulating products, using a product for a bit and then opening up a new one, without having finished the first one...to me it's such a waste of money...Being a beauty blogger, I do tend to buy and test a lot of beauty products, but I always keep in mind that I have to use them up, that I have to make the most out of them!

You can see here my 15 new empties that I'm going to be talking about in my video!

Did I like these products?
Would I repurchase them? Would I recommend them to you?
Find this out & more in my video!

Summer Isn't Over Yet! MY SUMMER ESSENTIALS!

Hello girls!

Just during my vacations, I realized which are the things that I can definitely consider to be my summer essentials!

These are the products that I packed in my suitcase without thinking twice about it, and I was automatically reaching for them on a daily basis!

I've filmed short footages feat. my beauty & style essentials, every day from a different location of the island of Rab, where I was staying.

As a result, I have a nice & interesting video to show to you :)

It is already uploaded on my eipysgudps channel, but in case you haven't watched it yet, you can do that now, by hitting the play button on the video bellow:

These here are the products I highly recommend to anyone during the hot summer months!

• A pair of sexy denim shorts is my must- have in terms of clothing, because it is so versatile and you can wear it for the beach, or going out at night (dressing it up, or dressing it down!)

BEAUTY MUST- HAVES:

1.) Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR (Multi- Purpose Care Multi Usage Dry Oil)

Golden Shimmer with 6 precious oils and vitamin E.

For face, body, hair.

I'm in love with this product! I use it all over my body and it leaves my skin soft, moisturized, deliciously fragrant and irridescent!

Perfect for the summer nights out!

2.) Bioderma Photoderm MAX spf 50+

Mineral Solar Compact Very High Protection 

Intolerant Skin

When talking about summer, my priority isn't to tan! I'm a very fair skin and I need to be cautious when sunbathing! I avoid the hottest hours of the day and the midday sun.

At the beach,  I always make sure to wear a high spf on my face.

I'm 30, so I need a good quality product such as Bioderma because I want to avoid getting sunburns on my face & developing premature wrinkles & signs of ageing!

3.) Eau Thermale Avène 

Thermal spring water

Soothing, anti- irritating, for sensitive skin.

I have been using this product on & off as a part of my skincare regimen, for years now!

I especially love it in summer because it instantly refreshes my face.

Often I'll use it instead of a toner.

In the periods when I feel I don't need a night cream, after finishing with cleansing my face, I'll just spray a bit of Avène Eau Thermale & go to bed!

4.) O.P.I Avojuice Skin Quenchers

Cran & Berry

Hand & Body lotion

This mini-size hand lotion is perfect for carrying around in my beauty case!

It is important to moisturize your hands daily; this product absorbs really fast into my skin, leaving it soft & smooth, plus it smells deliciously! YUM! ;)

5.) Kérastase Soleil Micro- Voile Protecteur

Fine, dry and light mist

leaves hair feeling natural

For colour- treated hair.

Leave- in

I like to consider this product a spf for my hair!

It protects my hair from harmful UV rays, wind and sea salt!

6.) Too Faced

Leopard Love 

Complexion Perfection kit

This is a great kit because it contains bronzer, blush and a highlighter, all in one place!

The colours are simply GORGEOUS!

For the hot summer nights out, this is all the make up you'll ever need! ;)

I hope you enjoyed my beauty & style essentials and all the beautiful sights from my video!

I was thinking about all you guys while filming it, I wanted to capture & show you all the beauty of my island!

I hope I managed to do that!

Do let me know in the comments section, which products are your summer essentials & why?

Thanx for reading!

Ciao, ciao!
