Good evening my lovelies! I'm going to admit one thing, I love doing things with a certain impulsion. Last sunday, I went in Oxford. It was the first time I was leaving London. And I did it on a whim. I was up pretty early that day and it was sunny outside and I was like "what should I do?". I left the house, I took the bus to go the closest train station and I got my train ticket. Such a good decision, such an amazing city! I chose few pictures or this article, it was pretty hard to make a choice! Anyway, hope you will enjoy it!

PANORAMIC VIEW FROM ST MARY'S CHURCH TOWER

There's a possibility to have a panoramic view of Oxford. The university church of St Mary's is in the heart of the city. Once you climb the 127 stairs (if you are claustrophobic, don't, please -- I'm not but I almost faint), you arrive on top of the church and you can see all Oxford. That's outstanding, breathtaking!

 That's St Mary's Church btw!

 

Hi my lovelies. I'm about to leave London after being here for 7 months. I'm pretty sad to be honest, something more exciting is waiting for me. Anyway, another travel article. Today, I will show you which is the best "touristic" tour for a first time in London. It's probably not the only article I will write about it and I hope it will give you ideas for your next trip in this amazing city! This is basically what I suggest when someone is asking me "what can I do during my first London trip". Hope it's gonna help you to find some ideas!

The next picture is actually not really important but I wanted to add it. That's a reference to Friends, a huge one, you will see (Friends is my fav show so....). Big up to my girl, Elodie, if you see this -- it's all London baby!

As you can see in the pictures, the sky was pretty lunatic. Sun and rain, litteraly, that's not a joke. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed these pictures and if you come in London, let me know what you plan to do in the city!

Hi my lovelies! Today, I'm sharing with you my skincare routine (morning and evening). As you know, the first step to have a flawless skin is to moisturise you skin, morning and evening. Choose the appropriate products for your skin and your needs. Anyway, it's not really my field but you have professionnals of course, and thanks god!

Regarding the pre-skin care routine, I'm using a daily wash and a daily scrub. It's more drugstore brands usually, like Neutrogena. Something less expensive because it does the job and I can invest more money in good skincare products. I wash my face twice a day, of course. If you apply your products on a dirty skin (dirty = non-washed), the results won't really showed up.

ULTRA FACIAL TONER (KIEHL'S)

A toner is really important, it cleans the skin even more. Apply it with a coton pad and clean your skin. If you coton pad is still "dirty" after used, keep cleaning again and again. Even with two daily wash, I have to use 3 coton pads before having something very clean. But you skin will thank you!

Price is £17 for 8.4 fl. oz (250ml). 

FACIAL SPRAY (MARIO BADESCU)

It's a spray, regular one, to hydrate the skin. You can use before of after your complete routine. Personnaly, I use it once or sometimes twice. Depens. Mine is with aloe, cucumber and green tea. Refreshing and hydrating. I love it! There's another version with aloe, herbs and rosewater.

Aloe Vera - Calms and soothes skin. 

Cucumber - Leaves skin glowing and hydrated. 

Green Tea - A natural antioxidant.

Price is £7 for 4 fl. oz (118ml)

HYDRO-PLUMPING RE-TEXTURING SERUM CONCENTRATION (KIEHL'S)

This is probably my fav product. It's a serum really amazing. It redefine the skin, gives hydration and take off all the textures. You can even use it as a serum for your under eye. Probably the only one you can do that with. It changes my skin in two weeks. I'm in love, it's pretty pricy but it worth it.

Price is £41 for 1.7 fl. oz (50ml)

CREAMY EYE TREATMENT with Avocado (KIEHL'S) 

It's a great eye cream. I was pretty hesitating about it. The texture is pretty thick, it means you don't need a lot. But once you melt it in your finger, it's ready, you can apply it. It's a great cream, very hydrating. I got mine since 3 weeks and honestly, it's still as empty as the first day, thing I love because it's pretty pricy as well but soooo good!

Price is £22.50 for 0.5 oz (14g)

DAILY REVIVING CONCENTRATE (KIEHL'S)

It's my morning oil. I don't use it since a long time actually but I used to tried it as a sampler. And I loved it a lot. It smells so good and it doesn't leave a greasy feeling on the skin once applied, something I really appreciate.

Price is £38 for 1 fl. oz (30ml)

VINOSOURCE OVERNIGHT RECOVERY OIL (CAUDALIE)

It's my night time oil. Very hydrating, I have this product since almost nine months now and it's still as good as the first day. The bottle isn't empty, used as half actually. Used with my Caudalie night cream, it's the perfect combo!

Price is £26 for 1 fl. oz (30ml)

VINOPERFECT RADIANCE MOISTURIZER SDF 20 (CAUDALIE)

It's my morning moisturizer. It gives to my skin this flawless finish. My skin is very smooth, no blemishes, moisturized skin and luminous. I love it, really. There's no oil in this cream, it means my skin isn't feeling oily at all, which I love, it tightens the pores, reduce the sebum excess, it's perfect, that's all.

Price is £27 ofr 1.3 fl. oz (40ml)

VINOPERFECT OVERNIGHT RENEWAL CREAM (CAUDALIE)

It's my night time moisturizer. I love it as well, seriously, it changes my skin. After applying it (before sleeping), my skin feels amazing. And in the morning, even better. It smooths the blemishes, tightens the pores and gives a radiance finish to my skin.

My skincare routine is pretty pricy but it worth it. My skin is perfect, I'm in love with it, except few rednesses, I'm pretty confident with my bare face, which is pretty important. I'm gonna add my two fav mask, I used both of the mask in the same week (one of wednesday and one of sunday -- yes it's planned).

INSTANT DETOX MASK (CAUDALIE)

It's an amazing mask, after applying it, my skin is radiant, it really had this detox effect. This is a 5 minutes mask, it's really fast and it works really well. It purifies the skin, my complexion is even after using it and honestly you don't need too much. A little goes such a long way!

Price is £22 for 2.5 fl. oz (75ml)

MASK OF MAGNAMINTY (LUSH)

This one is my holy grail. I'm using it since almost 4 years now and it's always a pleasure to use it. It's a great dupe for the GlamGlow mud mask. This mask smells mint, something I love and you can also use it at scrub. Two-in-one product. Bye bye pores, bye bye texture, smoother skin and a clean skin sensation. I will love it, forever, until I find better (good luck). And also, a very fresh sensation when you apply it!

Price is £6.50 for 125gr

I think I shared with you the secret of my perfect skin. I hope it might help you, but always remember to ask a specialist because everyone has a different skin type and everyone doesn't react the same. Anyway, hope you liked this article. Share with my your skincare routine, I'd love to discover new products!

Hi my lovelies. Yesterday, I spent few hours in Richmond. I really love this place since the first time I went there (such a long time ago). Today I'm sharing some pictures I took yesterday and I hope you're gonna like it as much as I do! If you stop there, visit Richmond Park, it's huge but amazing (espacially during hot days like yesterday -- it was such a great afternoon).

I don't have much to say, I hope you enjoyed the pictures.
