English Version | Category is: texture

Not everything that is soft to the touch is velvet. It can be an eyeshadow, a particularly moisturizing cream, or a mask that nourishes the dullest strands of hair. What the eyes can't see, the heart can feel. And, with this selection, you can feel the texture of the products that will thrive in the cold season. 

Velvet hair

Achieving silky hair often involves reducing (or reassessing) the damage we subject it to, from the extreme heat of hair tools to the suppression of its natural oils. Therefore, it’s essential to invest in tools and products that nourish the health of hair. No oil can provide a velvety finish if the problem is not solved from the root (literally).

Velvet lips

Step 1: exfoliate. Step 2: moisturize. Step 3: apply the color of lipstick that matches the mood of the day. In such a simple routine you get the most desired finish. A feeling of softness that will make you want to raise the concept of self-love to new heights. And, who knows, spread a little bit of that love too.

Velvet hands

Cold hands, warm heart? Maybe, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the discomfort caused by the low temperatures, when we can almost hear our hands, chapped, and dehydrated, screaming for help. Moisturizing is the word of the season, from the roughest cuticles to the driest fingertips. And since it's party time, a little shine never hurt nobody.

Velvet eyes

What do our eyes say? That we love a good night's sleep - but, because that's not always possible, that we know how to choose eye contour creams that give us the same look. The eyeshadows, on the other hand, were love at first touch, but it was thanks to the vivacity they provided to the eyes that a mutual passion was sealed.

Velvet skin

All skin has its texture, but even the roughest and driest one can, with love and (a lot of) care, become silky. If nutrition and hydration are - in this and in so many other things - the most important factor to consider, they’re followed by a (minimal) skincare routine. Namely on the face, where skin tends to be more sensitive, it deserves extra pampering, with the richest and most velvety formulas on the market.
