>> Hi giugizers and welcome to a new video.
Guess what? It's time again to share with you my favourite products of the past month.
How was you February?
Mine was fairly ok, in spite of the random weather
Some days it looked like the North Pole, some others it looked like Florida
Oh, the joys of the climate changes!
Anyway let's leave the elevator chats aside and let's get to the video
Once again I've got some products I'd like to talk about
so if you are looking for some suggestions in matter of fashion, beauty, accessories and much more
make yourself comfortable and let's get started!
The first product I loved in February it's Khiel's Midnight Recovery concentrate.
It's a botanical elisir made of lavander, geranium,
evening primrose oil and squalane
and applied to the face before going to bed
it deeply hydrates the skin offering at the same time a soothing and corrective action.
So if your skin is in a non collaborative phase and starts to break out and get blemishes
the midnight recovery concentrate is the solution.
As you can see it's an oil
but it works perfectly on oily skins too, because it's not greasy and it soaks in very quickly.
It's really easy to apply, you just have to
pour a 2 or 3 drops on your hand
massage it to activate the product and gently pat it on the face and neck
and your skin will instantly feel smoother
and in a few days you'll be able to fully experience the benefits.
The package contains 30ml of product
and it costs 39,00 euros
but it lasts a long time, I it used every night in February
and I've still got plenty of it.
So the price is not too bad and I suggest you to try it.
If you are interested you can find it in all the beauty stores who distribute Khiel's
or online on their web site
and as usual on my blog you'll find the direct link for this product and all the others I'm going to talk abaout in the video
and my blog address is in the infobox below.
The second skin care product I'd like to talk about is a face cleanser
It's the Evercalm gentle cleansing gel by Ren.
It works like a liquid soap, so it has to be emusified with water
applied on the face and then rinsed off
and since I introduced it in my night routine, right after I removed the make up
I noticed some improvements.
Thanks to its cleansing and revitalizing action
it deeply cleanses the skin and efficiently removes the make up residuals
and leaves the face clean and fresh ready for your night cream
or eventually for the Midnight Recovery Concentrate I talked about before.
If you are interested in trying it out you can find it online at the price of 19,00 euros
as usual you'll find the direct link on my blog.
I'm opening the make up section with Mac Prep+Prime BB beauty balm
It's an crossover between a face primer and a BB cream
and it's a perfect make up base because unlike some other primers
it doesn't clog the pores and it hydrates the skin
and it evens out and brightens the complexion.
It also has an SPF 30 which is not bad.
It has a compact creamy texture
which makes it easy to apply thanks also to its sponge
and it hides the most evident defects.
If you don't have a problematic skin you can also use it alone as you would do with a BB cream,
so it's very versatile.
It's available in 3 shades:
Extra light, Light and Light Plus, which is the one I use
and it costs 28.74 euros and you can find it in all Mac stores
or online.
The next product is perfect for those of you who have an oily skin like me
and constantly struggles with the hated shiny effect
It's Benefit Pore Fessional agent zero shine
I fell in love with this dude right after the first application because the results are amazing.
It's a clear mattifying powder
which minimizes the pores
and reduces shine.
As you can see the packaging is very handy
because on one side there's the product, which is a free powder,
while on the other side
there's a built-in brush
You just need a few to get a very good result
it lasts a long time and even after several hours your face will still be perfect and matte.
without shine
Anyway if you need touch ups
the packaging is very clever and you can keep it in your bag.
If you are interested you can find it at Sephora's, also online, at the price of 32.90 euros.
I highly suggest it as I couldn't live without my Agent zero shine.
Apparently my obsession for stripes and peter pan collars
is still kicking hard
You may be sure that if my eyes see a striped piece
or a peter pan collar they get mesmerized
and my brain looses lucidity;
which explains why 80% of my wardrobe is made of striped clothes, mainly black and white,
and peter pan collars.
Once again I was a victim of my obsession and I couldn't resist to
This knit *** cardigan
and it's obviously striped.
Here is a picture so that you can see it better.
In my defence I will only say that this baby resumes all the things I love in clothes because it's
comfortable, soft, long
easy to pair and of course striped.
What should I want more?
You can find it on Asos and I paid it 49.16 euro
If you are interested you'll find the direct link on my blog
and my blog address is in the infobox below.
Speaking about obsessions I couldn't avoid including this month again
the black dress with contrast collar.
Here is a picture so that you can see it better.
As you can see it's a jersey swing dress
with contrast collar and short sleeves.
I think this kind of dresses are a must have
because even in the dullest days you just need to throw it on
and you are ready to go with no fuss.
I like to pair it with striped tights...suprise!
to spice it up
or with a long cardi and thick tights.
This dude come straight from Asos too
and I paid it 35.12 euros.
I didn't buy any new shoes in February
also because I'm still madly in love with
my platform loafers which I bought in London in January, here they are!
I talked about them in other videos too
but I couldn't avoid including them in this one too because of the 28 days of February
I think I wore them for around 20.
I love them because they are very comfortable
easy to pair
peculiar and uncommon
with a slightly retro look yet modern, I really love them
as I said I really wore them a lot
I bought them in London from Urban Outfitters
and I paid them 85£
but if you are interested you can buy them online
and you'll find the link directly on my blog.
Once again I will use the accessories section to update you about my latest creations
I'm still fascinated by everything dark, mournful
and macabre.
During February I in fact created new parures inspired by Salone del Lutto
If you want to know more about my accessories and about Salone del Lutto
I invite you to subscribe to my blog, the link is in the infobox below
or to watch my January favourites video,
which you can watch by clicking here,
where I already spoke about this.
Among my February favourite parures
there's surely the one inspired by Baudelaire
who is one of my teenage heores,
and the Edgar Allan Poe inspired one.
Both parures are made of several accessories
which can be worned together or separately
For example for Edgar Allan Poe I created this long necklace
or
this bracelet
While for Baudelaire I made several accessories among which
this brooch.
If you are interested in my creations I invite you to
subscribe to my blog

This month I decided to add a new cathegory
the movies one.
I really love cinema, even if I rarely happen to watch a movie in theaters
In february I finally managed to watch American Hustle
and I loved it.
The characters, the costumes, the settings, the dialogues
the plot, the direction, there's not one thing I didn't love in this movie.
Amy Adams is simply amazing,
Jennifer Lawrence is breath taking
and Christian Bale fat with comb over is something you can't miss.
So if you didn't watch American Hustle yet I highly suggest you to
you won't regret it.
We reached the books section which, as you know, ends my monthly favourites videos.
This time I'd like to talk about
Chiara Gamberale "per dieci minuti" (for ten minutes).
This semi-autobiographical novel
narrates the hard times we have everytime life demands radical changes.
In fact the main character, Chiara, looses all together, her husband
with whom she's been married for 18 years
her work and the house she grew in
and where she lived since she was a child
finding herself in a Rome flat, alone, depressed and disoriented.
It will be thanks to her psicologist advice to try something new each day for 10 minutes
that Chiara will manage to find herself and find a meaning to her life.
The plot, which is quite simple, immediately attracts
because it's really easy to relate to the main character
Moreover Gamberale's fresh and ironic style is really a cure-all.
because let's say it aloud not always the lightness is a down side in a novel.
Per dieci minuti it's easy to read,
it makes you smile, it makes you think
and most of all it really makes you want to try something new each day.
I suggest it to you and if you are interested you can find it online too on IBS
at the price of 13.60 euros.
And that's it for this month
I hope my suggestions were useful
If you feel like click thumbs up here on Youtube and share this video or the blog post with all your friends
In the meantime I wish you a nice day and I'll talk to you in my next video, ciao!
The second skin care product I'd like to talk about is........
a cleanser??
If you don't have a difficult skin
you can use it alone as you would do with a BB cleam
The BB CLEAM, the BB CLEAM!
I'll start the make up section with Mac Prep+Prime BB beauty balm
Is that the real name?
Yep!
