Bonjour beauty addicts
Today, I am down in the dumps because boo went on vacation! Booooouh the bastard mean guy, he left me alone ... in this huge and empty Paris ... Well this is not going to get me down. There is still some beauty positive points: 1) plenty of time to write on my blog 2) I can invaaaaaade the bathroom with all my beauty products (yes, you know the ones that are hidden in the closet because you don't want boo to notice that you purchased ten foot creams ... you know just in case there is a nuclear war my feet must stay well hydrated it is V-I-T-A-L but boo cannot understand that ;-) 3) I can walk throught the apartment with my blue facial mask and/or with my hair-bleaching cream on my mustache (ah yeah, can someone please tell boo that being called each time Don Diego de la Vega with a sly laugh well it's a little annoying at the end :-) )
The last positive point is that now I can use my stinky cream! Yes, this organic cream made with essential oils of Tibet eucalyptus which works VERY WELL (can you realize that a farmer had to get the eucalyptus on the top of the Himalayas with snow shoes! ... at least that's what I believe when I think about the price I paid ...). But, that's what the saleswoman told me because I've never really had the opportunity to try it... I was ready to accept the olfactory sacrifice because I am a beauty warrior (= ready to everything to be beautiful) ... but not boo ah no he doesn't care at all!
I clearly remember the day I put this "mixture" (boo's expression) on my face, then slipped into the bed next to boo (I'm not going to use it at work... I am a beauty warrior not a beauty kamikaze), I wanted to give boo a kiss (I'm a caring woman!) ... But then suddenly, while boo was approaching me, his face changed with an expression of disgust, he then violently removed his head and yelled "It stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinks!!! What is this stuuuuuuuuuuuuuufff!" I answered "But boo it is my new organic facial cream with euc ... BUT WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" boo "On the couch, I don't want to spend the night with a polecat" me "No boo come baaaaaaack pleaaaaaaase!" "Nooooo, it stinks too much" ... Ok ... here alone in my cold bed ... I realized that this cream would be banished forever in boo's presence (and as I am often with boo...)
But now that he is gone so I can enjoy it and try my stinky cream youpiiii! (well I'm still going totake a look at the expiry date, because this story happened... wait .... at least a year ago!) ...
You will notice that I tend to digress. The theme of this blog is beauty so Dounia please remains focused (self-talk)! In this article I will introduce you a new "section" which will often come back on the blog (if you like it of course!), the FIGHT, as its name suggests the goal of this section is to compare two or more products and declare a winner. Generally, this will be same type products but I do not exclude to compare very diferrent products J
Today's theme is the hand hydratation , because no matter if we are in summer or winter, I would never repeat it enough hydratation is ABSOLUTELY VITAL. Hands say a lot about your beauty health, and sloppiness is not easily repairable (I think that hand lifting doesn't yet exist!). So I hydrate my hands several times a day throughout the year., with no limit. I have a hand cream in my bag, one on my desk and and one on my nightstand. I have tested many creams and I picked two of them two of them for this first fight: Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Concentrated Hand Cream VS Natura Brasil Ekos Maracuja Hand Cream.
Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Concentrated Hand Cream
|
Natura Brasil Ekos Maracuja hand cream
|
Winner
| |
Description
|
It is the most famous product of the American brand and it is recommended by dermatologists.
| This is a product of the rising Brazilian brand Natura Brasil. This brand which promotes natural beauty is also number one in Brazil. | |
Round 1:
Packaging
| Simple, sober, "cold", packaging has a "medical" look (black white blue). I don't really like it. |
Has the look of a maxi tube of paint, packaging is colorful and chic (green / yellow / silver). Easy to grab.
|
Natura Brasil
|
Round 2: Scent
|
I don't like it, the cream has a "medical" scent. Some say it does not smell at all, soit may be ok for those who love neutral products.
| Maracuja oil has an incredible exotic scent (boo adoooores it!), you are immediately transported to Brazil. The cream makes your hands very glamourous . It is available in other different fragrances: Açai, Cacau and Casthana. |
Natura Brasil
|
Round 3:
The texture
| Sticky, but quickly absorbed by the skin. |
Creamy, soft, quickly absorbed.
|
Natura Brasil
|
Round 4: Efficiency
|
Good hydratation.
|
Very good hydration.
|
Natura Brasil
|
Round 5:
Price
|
6 € 20 50 ml (124 € / l)
Relatively cheap. It is important because you must renew it regularly. However, the packaging make it difficult to use all the product.
| 14 € 50 75 ml (193 € / l)
Rather expensive but the packaging allows you to use more product which is economic. In addition, you will need a smaller amount of product than for Neutrogena's hand cream to get to the same result.
