Hi guys!
It has been incredibly long since I haven't write something over here ans I'm so sorry about it but since I'm in holidays, I don't always have internet or a computer so I just couldn't come over here. I'm so sorry! So today's article as you can see is a haul from sephora and Yves Rocher and (almost) all the products are meant or gonna be use during summer! The products from Sephora were actually bought about 3 weeks ago so I shot them at that time but there isn't enough items to do a single article that's why there's also Yves Rocher items! I went to Yves Rocher this afternoon to be honest and I thought "well you have internet and a computer just sit and write that article!" so I did. Anyways let's get straight into it.
Let's start with the Sephora items. I just wanted to apologize first for the bad lightening : I took the pictures just after I got home which was around 8PM maybe so the sun was really low... Anyways, the first thing I got is an after-sun moistrurizing balm. I've been using this after a whole day at the beach sunbathing and it's really cooling, I absolutely love using it! Plus the smell is absolutely perfect, it smells like summer, monoi and coconut I think... I suck at describing smells, I'm sorry. It is a huge tube, 200ml so it's gonna last me ages and since it's from Sephora it wasn't expensve at all, I don't remember how much exactly but I would definitely recommend this product if you have quite a small budget for summer products.
Staying in the pure "summer" theme, the next thing I got is an adjustable sunscreeen. Yes, you heard (well read) me, adjustable. Let me explain, the bottle is separed in two sections, one is full of full coverage SPF 50 sunscreen and the other is full of medium coverage SPF 15. When you turn the top of the bottle on the "50" section, only SPF 50 sunscreen will come out ; when you're on the "15" section, only SPF 15 sunscreen will come out but if you put the top on the "30" section, you will get both 50 and 15 mixed up! Which gives you a medium to heavy coverage. I find that it's absolutely genius because in one bottle you can adjust you're coverage from the start of your holidays where you'll be quite pale and will need a good coverage to the end where you'll start to have a tan and wouldn't need a high SPF and it makes everything easier and lighter! I absolutely love this thing.
This is not a very pretty photo but you can really see the different sections of the bottle.
Now, this is not a summer item related because I'm going to use it during the whole year through but I bought it in the summer so I guess it makes it okay? Anyways, I bought this depuffing roll-on gel and I'm going to mixt my benefit "boing" concealer which is quite thick and now it's perfect! And I would like us to take a moment to appreciate how Sephora made some efforts on their packagings.

The next thing is a make up item and it's an eyeshadow in a really pigmented and really glittery grey. I don't have it with me and I can't remember the name of it, sorry...

Now, this is more of a summer-beauty item because I already had this foundation but it was almost out so I re bought it because I really like it but this time in one or two shades darker than my usual foundation simply because I want it to match my tan. Also, this foundation is oil free and loadsofotherthings free which means it's very good for all skins type! It comes with a mirror and a sponge.

The next thing I got from sephora is a waterproof flashy linerin a silver shade and I think i's actually called "silver" but I'm not sure, I don't have it me either... I'm a bit dissapointed about it because I wanted to put it on my waterline but once you applied it you can't almost see it, it does not change a thing! I got it on the sales for about 2€ I think so it's okay but still...

Now moving on to Yves Rocher yaaaaay! Since I'm on holidays in the south of France and that I usually take every pictures on my desk which is in Paris of course, I thought that since I had to change the background of the picture that I could shoot next to the pool! Enjoy ;)
The first thing I got is a gentle exfoliating cleanser. Now, I tried it once tonight actually and I really really loved it, I couldn't agree more with the "gentle" part because it does not feel harsh on the skin and since I have a tan myy skin is really sensitive and it did not attack my skin at all. It's from the sebo specific collection.

Now moving on to a 100% summery product, the next thing I got is a monoï oil that you can use pretty much for everything, you could use it on your hair or on your skin to moisturize! It smells like heaven, obviously.

Now, in the skin care theme again, the next things I got are both from their "hydra végétal" collection.
Since I'm runing out of moisturizing face cream, I thought I try this out. It feels so smooth, really light, since it's concentrate you will need a tiny little bit for your whole face so I'm pretty sure I will use this for ages! Plus it has a really likeable smell.

I also got their cleanser because it's a refreshing gel so I thought that it was going to be so likeable on a warm day! It smells really good too, it smells like cumcumber, I love it !

Now the next thing I got is a nail polish in a really pretty turquoise shade. What I really really like about it is that it's in a tint bottle and since you never really end up a nail polish, you don't waste if your nail polish is so tiny! It's a perfect color for summer and it goes perfectly with a tan, I'm loving it.

Now moving on to the most exciting thing about this haul, JUMBO EYE PENCIL! I absolutely love how those kind of pens look but I never had the chance to try one out so I got four different shades. The blue-toned pink is from their limited summer collection and the others are from the permanent collection. Plus, I went on the shower with the swatches on the hand and it didn't move! It's really long lasting, it's amazing!
From left to right : 41. violet électrique ; Opale Dorée ; Orchidée rose ; 71. Brun doré.

And finally, the next thing I got is an eyebrow pencil which is doubled-sided, one side is the pencil and this other one is the eyebrow brush! I really love it, it has an amazing matte finish, my favorite eyebrow item ever!

Loads of love,
