Yves Rocher So Elixir Bois Sensuel ~ #Review #Giveaway

Perfume is usually one  of my go to gift ideas for my mom because she actually uses them.  There are people who collect perfume, changes frequently depending on mood or season, and some would actually wear it until the very last drop.  My mom fits in the second category.  Her birthday is this weekend and I always choose perfume as a part of her gift.  She wears them everyday and I know she would love to wear Yves Rocher So Elixir Bois Sensuel Eau De Parfum.

Yves Rocher Botanical Colour Nail Polish ~ #Review & #Giveaway

My daughters and I love to paint our nails.  Whenever we have a free weekend to ourselves I paint all our nails.  I have used Yves Rocher nail polishes in the past and they are OK but I noticed this year's collection it is 100X better.  I noticed that it is much easier to apply the nail polish on my nails and I love the colour selection.  They have many colours I would love to add to my collection.  There are over 50 new colours to choose from.  They have normal, shimmer, glittery, and gel effect nail polishes.  The colour are vibrant and the texture is great for nail art.

Yves Rocher's Sérum Végétal ~ #Review

I know when I am old when my body is always having these aches and pains. With my birthday approaching this month I wonder if my body would last until I’m 65. Even though my body feels like I am 10x years older I don’t want my skin looking the same. I try my best to take care of my skin even though half the time it is giving me issues. Lately I have been using Yves Rocher Serum Vegetal’s Wrinkle & Radiance Smoothing Care collection to keep it young and healthy.

Sérum Végétal, the anti-wrinkle star, benefits from the latest Yves Rocher research on Assimilation. For Sérum Végétal, everything stems from an incredible plant: The Ice Plant.
Originating in the South African desert, the Ice Plant is able to adapt to extreme conditions and face anything. It is resistant. It survives. Hence its nickname, The Life Plant.

Holiday Makeup and Skincare at Yves Rocher ~ #Review #2014ChristmasGiftGuide

There are less than 7 days left until Christmas so don’t forget to pop into Yves Rocher to see what great products they have in store.

Yves Rocher Sheer Botanical Lipstick ~ #Review

Lipsticks, Lip glosses, and Lip balms – at least one of them has to be in my purse. You might see me always dapping some on either at my desk or when I am using the elevators. My lips are constantly dry so I have to have one on hand. If I am ever caught without one which is rare but it has happened before, you will see me rushing to the closest store that sell lip products and also gives me an opportunity to try something new. My lips and I have been loving Yves Rocher Sheer Botanical Lipsticks that launched for this Fall.

Yves Rocher 2014 Summer Collection ~ #Review

Summer time is the perfect time to wear bright happy colours like how I change the colours in my wardrobe. It is time to wear something other than black, brown, or grey. I love wearing colours to the office. I don't mind wearing lime green, pale yellow, or even hot pink, but of course not all at once. Yves Rocher has a great 2014 summer collection to help us to party it up for this summer.

2014 Summer Yves Rocher Collection Ete Eau De Toilette ~ #Review

Yves Rocher White Botanical ~ #Review & #Giveaway

When I was younger I was always excited on my Birthday.  I never did have a birthday party until I was 16 when my friends came to surprise me at Swiss Chalet.  From there on, I have always had a birthday party until three years ago.  I am more focused on my daughters' birthdays than my own.  At least my birthday is on the weekend this year so I won't need to go to work and will be able to spend the full day with my daughters.

Yves Rocher Elixir 7.9 Skin Care ~ #Review

Have you heard of a product that has 12 years of research and it contains 7 plants extracts with anti-aging powers?  Neither had I until now.  Yves Rocher created a collection of Elixir 7.9 that works wonders on my skin.  The collections includes: a serum, day cream (normal to combination, dry, or sensitive), eye care roll-on, and night cream.

Yves Rocher: Hydra Vegetal ~ #Review

This past summer, Yves Rocher launched Hydra Vegtal collected that is known to quench your skin's thirst.  This line combines Canadian Maple Sap to Blue Agave Sap to provide the skin deep hydration.

Yves Rocher: Retropical Party ~ #Review

Yves Rocher has launched a whole new makeup collection called Retropical which will remind you of a retro pin-up summer with colours of reds, oranges, pinks, blues, and greens.  The makeup collection is inspired by paradise and is filled with flamboyant colours, and warm light fragrances.

The colours are so vibrant that they reminds me of Hawaii or somewhere tropical.

Looking for a lovely and fresh scent for this summer.  Try the Retropical Eau de Toilette (75ml, $25).  It is light, floral and has a fruity scent for any occasion.  During the summer I like to wear something that is light and not heavy so I could see myself wearing this fragrance often this season.

I hardly wear lip gloss because usually I don't like it sticking to my loose hair.  It is messy and uncomfortable.  However the Retropical Gloss (4.5ml, $4.95) is amazing, really!  I love how vibrant the colour is and it is non sticky.  After a few hours of wearing it it is still as vibrant as when I first put it on.  I really like the applicator, it is like a lip brush.  A+ in my books.

I have quite a few eye pencils but they are all the same old black, brown, or white.  This time I had the opportunity to try Retropical Eye Pencil in Eucalyptus (3.25g $5.95) and the Retropical Duo Khol pencil in Tropical Mint/Bougainvilles  (0.52g, $4.95).  The Retropical Eye Pencil in Eucalyptus could be used as a kohl or an eyeshadow which I love how pretty it looked on my eyes.  It goes on smoothly and very easy to use.  I love how this green shade looks on my Asian complexion.  OK ladies I feel like hitting the beach!  Who is with me?

These products are available in all Yves Rocher stores, online, or by catalogue at 1-800-361-2746.

Yves Rocher: Tahitian Monoi Collection ~ #Review

"Me mind on fire...Me soul on fire...Feeling hot, hot, hot
Party people - All around me feeling hot, hot, hot."
Yes, summer is here and today is hot, hot, hot...more like boiling hot....
Summer season is approaching, it is time for new sweet scents.
Let me introduce you to Yves Rocher's Monoi de Tahiti collection.

Raise your hands if you have heard of Tahitian Monoi...OK, for those who do not know, let me give you some background.  Monoi means "scented oil" in Polynesian.  Monoi is obtained by mecerating 100 fresh demanding Tiare flowers in 1L of coconut oil.  For 10+ years, Yves Rocher has the privilege to use Tahitian Monoi that is AOC certified.

I had the opportunity to try a few products in this collection.

Traditional Gardenia Oil - Precious Dry Oil - Perfumed Body Mist

Traditional Tiare Oil (100ml, $18, Sale $9) has a wonderful light scent.  It really does remind me of fresh cut sweet flowers.  This is a multi-purpose oil that is great from head to toe.  I could apply it on my body where I can protect my skin from dryness and leaves it hydrated.  I could use it as a treatment before shampooing leaving my hair silky smooth.  I love how it absorbs very quickly and making my hands non greasy.

Precious Dry Oil (100 ml, $22, sale $13) is must needed for this summer.  I love how the dry oil feels on my skin leaving the shimmer to illuminate me from head to toe.  The texture is very much like the Traditional Tiare Oil where it has a great scent and how the oil absorbs very quickly and making my hands non greasy.

Lagoon Moiturizing Perfumed Body Mist ($125ml, $16, sale $9) also has a wonderful light sweet scent that reminds me of vanilla.  It contains organic aloe vera so it will moisturize the body when you spray it on your body.  I think this is a fun scent for this summer.  I could wear this at a beach party sipping cocktails or just lounging around by the pool.

These products are available in all Yves Rocher stores, online, or by catalogue at 1-800-361-2746.

Yves Rocher: New! Makeup Spring Collection ~ Review & Contest

There are days...ok...many days I have walked out the door without a lick of makeup.  Sometimes as a mom of two trying to rush out the door in time to drop the kids off to get myself going in time for work is a struggle.  The only thing I will always have time for is lipstick.  I'm not skilled enough to put eye shadow or mascara on the subway, but putting on some lipstick is not a problem.

Trying out Yves Rocher recently launched Grand Rouge Lipstick is amazing.  I love the hint of scent it has.  I cant describe it, but I have to guess it must be the Sesame Oil.  I can feel how smooth and buttery the lipstick it.  The texture is more smooth than your regular lipstick.  Grand Rouge Lipstick (3.7g, $19.00, sale $11), comes in 18 intense shades.  Long lasting, creamy and moisturizing lipstick.  Enriched with Camellia Oil, Vitamin E, and Organic Sesame Oil.

I know there are some people I believe should be wearing lip liners.  Sometimes it's great to look like you just locked lips with someone.  But most of the time it looks awful.  Yves Rocher released new automatic lip liner in 5 shades and a colourless one which I will assume would be popular since it would matches with any lip colour.  Automatic Lip Liner (0.3g, $12.00, sale $6.50). Retractable point - always stays sharp after each use.  Prevents lipstick from bleeding and may even last longer.  Enriched with Jojoba oil for softness and comfort.  These lip liners are a must have.  I could easily carry it with me all the time and I dont need a sharpener since it always stay sharp.

I may not have time for makeup in the morning but I always try to find time for my nails.  I usually have them done after the girls are asleep.  All I need is 5 minutes.  I don't have the patience or creativity for nail art.  I doubt it will last long on my nails. Simple is how I like them.  Yves Rocher NEW! 3 colours launched is ideal colour for this Spring.  Nail Lacquer (5.5ml, $9, sale $5), three new shades (Nude Rose, Sumptuous Pink, Powder Mauve) I love the colours they come in cute slim little bottles.

I know Mother's Day is coming up and like my mom, she loves lipsticks.   I know she would love Grand Rouge lipsticks.  I think Yves Rocher Grand Rouge would be ideal present I might get for my mom.

These new makeup products are available as of April 2013 in all Yves Rocher stores, online, or by catalogue at 1-800-361-2746.

Yves Rocher:Anti-Age Global ~ Review & Giveaway

Yves Rocher introduces their latest collection Anti-Age Global: The complete anti-aging care with plant source-cells.

Facts:
World 1st in Botanical Beauty: 4th generation Plant Source Cells from Echinacea
4th generation cells comes from a unique eliciation from Echinacea that are unique to Yves Rocher.
More than 100,000 Plant Source Cells concentrated in each jar
Believes visibly regenerate your skin in 6 days

Statistics from Yves Rocher (after one month of use on 201 women):
80% of women noted "My complexion is brighter"
84% of women noted  "My skin is smooth"
81% of women noted "My skin is even"
82% of women noted "My skin is firmer and denser"
83% of women noted "My skin seems repaired"
74% of women noted "My skin is regenerate and restructured"
81% of women noted "My skin is overall more beautiful"

The collection consist of the Day cream (50ml, $64), Night cream (50ml, $64), and Eye cream (15ml, $46).

I'm in my 30's and already using anti aging products.  Ideally, anti-aging products are to be used before the signs of aging.  The goal is to look like you are in your late 20s or early 30s forever without plastic surgery.  Maybe it might sound unrealistic but no one wants to look like they are in their late 50s when they are only in their 30s.

The Day and Night cream is great for the long, dry Canadian winters.  It feels like my skin took a drink of water.  It feels smoother and hydrated.  It does not leave my face oily or greasy.  It immediately absorbs into my skin.  I really like the applicator on the eye cream.  It is metal so it is often cold and it feels great putting it under my tired eyes - almost as good as putting cucumbers on my eyes. The cooling sensation helps reduce the puffiness in the eyes.  This is a great collection.  I believe even my mom would also enjoy using them.  *Hint* a great idea for a mother's day present.  Like I mentioned in the past, my results might not be the same results you might have - due to environment, health, diet, skin type, and age.  I am not sure if using this collection after 6 days improved my skin much...maybe if I checked my skin under a microscope I might see some changes.  I do notice my skin is more hydrated and smoother than normal.  Over all, this is a great product for those crazy Canadian winters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~GIVEAWAY!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
