Darphin Hydraskin Skin-Hydrating Serum 1

.

Founded in 1958 by Pierre Darphin, Darphin is a French skincare brand that has an emphasis on aromatic skincare. One of Darphin’s key skincare concepts is to use serums, aromatic oils, and moisturizing creams to deal with various skincare concerns (dryness, sensitivity, excessive sebum, ect.). According to the brand’s recommended routines, serums are used in the morning and aromatic oils are used in the evening. Both are followed by moisturizing creams.

Darphin currently features eight serums, and today I am highlighting Hydraskin Intensive Skin-Hydrating Serum.

Kose Visee Glam Shade Eyes GR-5 Spring 2011 1

.

New phase, new brand.

After a couple of years of on-and-off investigation, I decided to start bringing greens into my usual repertoire of pinks, purples, and neutrals. Not just any green, but warm olive-toned greens, preferably with a gold undertone. (I don’t think cooler jewel-toned greens would suit me.)

Visée is a popular drugstore makeup line from Kosé. Glam Shade Eyes in GR-5, from the line’s spring 2011 collection, is not my first ever Visée item (see pictures of my Dual Shine Rouge Palette from holiday 2006, my first Visée product), but this is my first ever eyeshadow product from the line. The obvious warmth of the shades and the tone-on-tone color combination (which is great for me to play with the different shades of green) are the main reasons why I decided to get it.
