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.).

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

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.
