#259 - Viviverde Coop Mild Shampoo

Viviverde Coop Shampoo delicato

The shampoo was the first thing I bought and tried, since mine had run out, from this Coop line, which I finally have nearby.
The ingredients are excellent, all green, the price is competitive (2.50 euro for 250 ml), it smells good, not very strong, and I must say that it is very delicate,

#232 - Delídea Soothing Face Cream Physalis and Orange Blossom

I also had the opportunity to try this cream for a few days and also, a couple of times, the corresponding serum. The serum, I have to be honest, did not convince me that much; the cream, on the other hand, I have to say that I like it a lot; it is fresh, light absorbs completely, and helps to reduce redness,...

#229 - Lierac Sunific Iridescent Milk

This milk has been my salvation these days. I got it by chance in the pharmacy because I realised I had sunburnt myself, but at home, I had nothing but sunscreen creams and no after-sun, and it was Sunday. Luckily, I trusted the brand, and I have to say that the ingredients are good, although there is some not-so-great stuff towards the end of the INCI....

#217 - Summer makeup

With the warm weather, I have, of necessity, changed both face cream and make-up.
Apart from the toner and eye contour which I have already mentioned, and which I continue to use, my favourite cream at the moment, which I put on immediately after getting out of the shower, is one that I had already found last year and with which I am pleased this year too: Lavera’s Faces Bio-Minze Uniforming Fluid,...

#212 - Kiehl's #weekend kit

Yes, last week, I also went to Kiehl’s to get advice on the most suitable products for my skin by creating my code, and I came home with some rich samples and a product I bought, the Midnight Recovery Eye, which I had already planned to get.
The latter was a significant expense: old age is advancing, and with it,...

#184 - Caudalie Vinosource Moisturising Sorbet Cream

An aside: I finally tried Delídea’s BB Green in the office, and it didn’t disappoint; it lasted all day. I’d never tried anything by Caudalie before, so I went into the flagship shop (which I discovered also had a spa), not knowing what to get. I got a kit containing a sponge, the 50 ml Grape & Sage Cleansing Foam and the 10 ml Moisturising Sorbet Cream....

#180 - Delídea BB Green

Even though I have never found a BB Cream that would work for me and that, in theory, no BB Cream would be suitable because it does not cover enough, I persist in trying them.
In this case, I tried, without any conviction, Delídea’s Green Physalis and Orange Blossom BB Cream, first only in the evening, and realised that it is not very easy to apply,...

# 179 - Welcome back, Madina

On May 2, Madina finally re-opened in Venice.
The renovated shop is definitely very nice, spacious, the products are much more ordered and visible. The atmosphere is that of a much more professional brand. All products have a new packaging, more comfortable and clearer than before; some products have been renewed in the formula but they are also their best sellers that were sold out for a while....
