Sunday Riley LUNA Sleeping Night Oil

Sunday Riley is a very popular brand amongst the Beauty Bloggers world. I have read some good, but also bad opinions about the LUNA Sleeping Night Oil and hey! I also wanted to give mine.

This night treatment is an oil with an advanced retinol complex that helps you to minimize wrinkles and sun damage. The key ingredient is a trans-retinol ester, a form of vitamin A that is great to fight against signs of ageing as it is very antioxidant. It also contains anti inflammatory ingredients like German Chamomile, Blood Orange Oil and Blue Tansy. This last one is very healing and soothing, known for reducing redness and for helping to calm signs of skin stress. The different carrier oils like avocado, sunflower, chia and grape seed boost skin´s natural moisture barrier to improve the elasticity and the radiance of the skin. This incredible formula is also enriched with vitamins B, C, D and E. It hasn´t been tested on animals and it´s parabens, sulfates, phthalates and mineral oils free. If you have never tried this before or you have sensitive skin it´s better to ask for a sample because it´s a very pricey product and you never know how your skin will react. Also, it is not recommended to be used during pregnancy. 

I personally love this oil and I´m kind of addicted to it. In the morning when I wake up I see that my skin looks great, better than the night before. I also find very interesting the colour of this oil, dark blue, very original and different althogh it´s not natural but synthetic. I only apply it at night before going to bed, because it has an intense colour that takes a few minutes to blend into the skin and because it´s not recommended to be exposed to the sun while you are wearing skincare that contains retinol. Your skin barrier defence against UV rays can be weakened by this ingredient. The day after I always wear SPF. I find that the scent is very calming and pleasant. I have normal to dry skin during winter and I´m very satisfied with this oil that helps my face to look rested, plumped, smooth and luminous.

Valentine´s Day Gift Guide for Her

The idea of celebrating love is just something that I cherish. 

For me, love is everything and I personally think that it has to be a holiday to exalt any kind of love that you feel (to your family, friends and also pets!), so this year let's have a bigger vision and just show some love to others, the ones that count for us. It's not necessary to spend a lot of money, but sometimes it's nice to treat this important person that brigs you so much joy in life. Here are some ideas for her.

Diptyque Rosamundi Scented Candle

This gift will be perfect if you are not very sure what to buy. 

It was one of the firsts presents that my boyfriend offered to me when we started our relationship. He gave it to me after a long holiday abroad during summer and it was totally unexpected, I was pleasantly surprised and adored it! 

A nice scented candle is a good idea when you don´t know very much or not enough yet the person. Diptyque candles are my favourites, I picked up this limited edition because it has the prettiest packaging with beautiful illustrations of the french atelier of Antoinette Poisson. Its scent is very classic and feminine, the most fresh roses paired, the Damascena (Damask rose) and the Centifolia (May rose). This exquisite fragrance will last more than the smell of a bouquet of flowers and can be used after as a nice little cute glass to put some pens, makeup brushes or as a small vase.

Oysho Night Shorts and T-Shirt

Valentine´s day is all about romance, right? So why don´t you get for your babe a nice nightdress or a shorty and top set? It is much more easy to choose the size than for a bra and panties. Even for me, I find that it´s really hard to find lingerie that suits me, specially bras, picking the right size and model is very challenging. Nightwear, loungewear and pyjamas will also be an intimate gift to make the person that you love sexy and special. 

Chloé LOVE Eau de Toilette

This fragrance is so unique, but unfortunately I found out that it will be discontinued.The new one is called Love Story. Very similar and feminine, this new perfume will be a real statement and if she is a very girly girl she will absolutely love Chloé fragrances. Overall, they are floral, musky and powdery and they have gorgeous packagings that will be beautiful on a vanity/dressing table. 

Pink Quartz

This present is more suitable for someone who is less interested in materialistic things, but more in special, spiritual and meaningful ones. Crystals are a very holistic way to feel great. Moreover they have different vibrations with healing properties depending on the place they were found and on the molecules that they are made of. Belive it or not, but I find it really interesting. 
Pink Quartz is the stone of the heart, the crystal of love that has been used for centuries as a talisman. This stone will reverberate out its love energy!!
