This was a beautiful addition to my night time routine. The thick clear glossy texture really moisturized my lips and stayed on all night. In the mornings, my lips still felt like they had a bit of product on, and felt really hydrated. If I put on just a little bit before applying lipstick, this also made a beautiful lip primer. -

Like recommended, I used these twice a week but I honestly had to hold myself from using them every single day. I wore them about 20 minutes before going to bed, to wake up with the most intense beautiful glow I’ve ever gotten from a sheet mask. But the thing that really sold them to me was the fact that they didn’t enrage my sensitive acne-prone skin at all. A true classic for me, when I use a moisturizing face mask at night, is to wakeup with a few new angry red friends. However, these just left my skin glowing and my skin tone evened. I'll leave you a before and after picture (excuse my sleepy morning face) and a little boomerang to show you that glow. -
christophe robin rose volumizing shampoo
HELLO pretty ladies! Let me start by saying this: I’m NOT a hair expert. To be honest, I don’t style my hair much, and I even usually just let it air-dry. Laziness? Laisser-aller? Boho, natural side of me peeking? You tell me. However, since I... +
HELLO pretty ladies!
Let me start by saying this: I’m NOT a hair expert. To be honest, I don’t style my hair much, and I even usually just let it air-dry. Laziness? Laisser-aller? Boho, natural side of me peeking? You tell me. However, since I don’t style it much, I like to have a shampoo and conditioner that is good for my hair and leaves it looking somewhat okay for me to rock the natural way. When I was contacted to try Christophe Robin’s products, I flipped. Such an high-end hair care brand, created by a celebrity hair colorist and with different ranges for a multitude of hair concerns could only give me good results. As I was browsing through the different ranges, my choice was made clear really quickly: the delicate volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner would hopefully allow my limpy, skimpy hair to get a volume boost, from roots to ends.
See these beauties? When they arrived, the sleek chic packaging with a hint of millennial pink just blew me away. And the smell? Like a beautiful bouquet of fresh cut roses from the garden. These are just beautiful to use in the shower. Before I could really try the formula and see results, I was already into the amazing scented experience that was created in my shower. With the hot steam, it filled my whole bathroom with a gorgeous extra girly rose smell.
I (obviously) first tried the shampoo. Now listen carefully. At first, I wasn’t sold. The shampoo gave my hair the really “squeaky-clean” feeling. Being used to rather softer or more moisturizing formulas, I wasn’t first pleased. I felt like my hair was just too tangled and dried-up for my liking. However, I kept on with the experiment and I applied the conditioner overtop. And then it happened: my hair was re-moisturized and it felt soft. I could run my fingers through it all, without knots or pulling. Fast forward a little, I let my hair air-dry casually and the feeling and look was just completely different from the usual: my hair looked more voluminous and full, and I could see the little curled hair ringlets that appear when I use a lightweight formula or something that adds volume.
I tried the combo a lot of different ways during the week-and-a-half period I was using them. Just air-dried, my hair was big, bouncy and curled. Blown out with the hair drier, it was almost too poofy. My favorite way, as you’ll see how I styled it in the video, was to leave it air-dry and then to place it with my round heating brush. My roots were really lifted and my lengths and ends seemed like they had a lot of fullness and density.
I really loved the results but I must say, I’ll probably keep these two for special occasions. It was just too much of an adjustment to do it daily but whenever I wanna go BIG, There are the ones I’ll be using.
Have you tried Christophe Robin haircare before? Did you like it? Share your experience in the comments.

I was one of the lucky gals who got to try this with the product review club. I must say, it was a win for me!
1st use: i saw no difference in whiteness but my teeth did feel a lot cleaner than with any regular toothbrush.
after 1 week: teeth felt a lot cleaner, healthier and definitely brighter
now (1 week 5 days): remarquable difference in whiteness but i have to say I added arm & hammer toothpaste to my routine, which i think has made a huge difference.
I would definitely recommend using both toothbrush and toothpaste at the same time, as the effect were multiplied when both were used at the same time :)

Great foundation!
weird but cool texture, not like all liquid foundations. Nice light coverage, although very buildable color. Perfect choice of color, gives me a perfect match and a nice matte finish.
Tends to fade a little so you might have to re-apply in the afternoon.
A bit pricey for a drugstore product.

first off: the smell. This thing is amazing. smells like chocolate but not to much. You can use it on hair, face and body. On whatever part of your bod you decide to use this amazing-smelling multi-tasker, it will leave it nice, soft, smooth and glowy, but never oily. In fact, is it a dry oil which makes it quick absorbing and never leaves you greasy.
I just love it. I has done miracles for my damaged hair. And i can definetly never get enough of the smell.

First, I have tosay that I got this on sale (10$ for 100mL) so price is really cheap to my opininon.
This hand cream smells dive. I reminds me a bit of baby powder (talc) but not too much. texture is so soft and leaves the skin so smooth. I also find it makes my nails grow a little bit faster and stronger.
I'm usually not a "hand-creamer" but this has changed me. I love it so much, I couldn't see myself without it.

Maybelline New York Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser
This is amazing! Very smooth and soft, almost velvet-like. It does make your skin more even and diminishes your pores, like it promises. Only down side : It did not make my foundation last longer, as I would expect from any primer.

Don't get me wrong, this product works well and feels nice but compared to other primers, it's just not exceptional. The Sephora mattifying primer does the EXACT same thing (blurs your pores and makes your foundation hold for a long time) and has the EXACT same texture (soft and smooth) but costs half the price. -
