The one that happens when you opt for products that enhance your natural Beauty. Products that bring out the features created by the (im)perfect hand of nature. From caterpillar to butterfly, you don’t need to spend a few weeks in the cocoon. Sometimes all it takes is to complete your skincare routine.

Advanced Night Repair Eye Supercharged Gel-Creme, Estée Lauder

It's hard not to be aware of the hype around Estée Lauder's little brown bottle, which has long been a must-have in most Beauty routines. And it's equally hard not to be curious every time the Advanced Night Repair range receives a new launch. Focusing on the eye area, the brand's latest gel-cream promises to minimize the appearance of dark circles in two weeks, providing a luminous, rejuvenated look.

J'adore Parfum d'Eau, Dior

It’s an unprecedented launch in the industry. Dior's new J'adore perfume features an alcohol-free formula, obtained with a high-pressure nanoemulsion process. This revolutionary technique makes it possible to produce a water-based fragrance without needing chemical solvents, as it preserves the durability of the scent, thanks to a perfume concentration of 6 percent. Water and flowers are thus the main ingredients of every butterfly's favorite perfume. 

All Hours Foundation, Yves Saint Laurent

With a new formula infused with hyaluronic acid, Yves Saint Laurent's All Hours foundation returns with the promise of offering a comfortable texture that stays flawless for 24 hours. This product aims to act as a second skin, even and free of imperfections, with its light layer of natural finish. Besides, All Hours is an all-terrain foundation that can be used on a long day at work or an intense session at the gym.

Nº 4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo, Olaplex

After the tremendous success of Olaplex's Nº4 shampoo, the US brand now presents an improved version of its formula. Nº4C Bond Maintenance Clarifying Shampoo focuses on repairing not only the hair strings but also the scalp in a deep cleansing performance that restores the hair's natural shine. A regular use of this product also contributes to strengthening the hair, which is something very beneficial as we enter the Autumn season, when hair loss tends to increase.

Fresh ADDS Repair, Ringana

If summer is often a time of excesses, the arrival of a colder season puts health and wellness back at the center of attention. To restore the balance of the skin and regulate sebum secretion, Fresh ADDS Repair, by the Austrian brand Ringana, presents an anti-inflammatory and purifying formula that makes this small product become the best friend of irritated skin types. For even better results, this treatment should be applied together with the brand's Fresh Hydro Serum or Fresh Wrinkle Serum.
