French skincare haul

Best thing about your mum being away for 20 days? She tends to bring a lot of nice things back with her!

I won't do a post on the massive pile of clothes and shoes I got (<3) since they're gonna appear on OOTD posts anyway but I am gonna share the amazing skincare I get to try out!

So basically I got a nice travel case-essentials from Caudalie and a cell renewal night cream from their Vinoperfect collection. The cream I'm very exited about and will definitely write a separate post about once I've used it for long enough.

In the travel case there are little samples of their Cleansing water, Moisturising Sorbet for sensitive skin, Shower gel, Shampoo and Body Lotion. 

Again, I have my eye on the moisturising cream but I'll wait till I have formed an opinion on the cell renewal one before I start using this one. 

She also got me another Thermal Water from Avene and one from Uriage to compare it with.

I'm very exited to try all of them and will let you know how they work on my skin. 

My favourite summer find

Since I haven't had the time to blog these last few weeks I've had enough time to fall in love with Avenes' Thermal water. I randomly found a small 50ml bottle gathering dust in my mums' skincare collection and of course I decided to give it a try. It was just a few spritz after that I was converted and now own about 3 small ones and a huge 300lm bottle!
 And while my boyfriend keeps laughing at me for spending my money on water, I assure you it's the best water you could be putting on your face.
It immediately soothes the skin and calms every irritation. Apparently a lot of people use it for after shaving their legs or waxing and even eczema.
I've been using it for various things like spraying my face after cleansing every night, to treat sunburned skin, whenever I have a spot or my skin has gone red, for mosquito bites, whenever I'm on the beach. It also saved me during a long road trip last week.
It doesn't wipe off your make-up so it's great for refreshing on the go and I personally am convinced that it keeps the skin on my face white and that it closes my pores.
It's also very inexpensive to try! If you're in the UK you can get it for about 3 pounds form Boots (for the 50ml bottle) and I suppose the price in central Europe is about the same range. Probably less if you're lucky enough to live in France!

All in all it's definitely my favourite find for the summer till now and it inspired me to try more from Avenes' and their sensitive skin collection. Hopefully the rest is as good cause I am in the market for a new hydrating night cream.
