Estée Lauder: Caviar & Nouveau Riche, My Two Favorite Nail Polish of The Vernis Pure Color Collection

After my summer beauty routine posts,

I chose to start my Fall-Winter beauty reviews with these two nail polish of the Estée Lauder‘s Vernis Pure Color. The collection is inspired by Paris by Night and I really enjoy the packaging too!

1. Caviar, of the Beyond Black collection is an elegant charcoal gray to match with a neon color jewelry (a neon yellow or blue bracelet or necklace).

2. Nouveau Riche (that means in French, “new rich”) of the Metal Mania collection celebrates the return of glitter polish. It’s very summery and fit perfectly with tanned skins … to wear on an exotic beach! I was a little surprised by its colorless base, but mixed with a high density of gold glitter.

My advice for the two nail polish: as I found the first layer liquid, you must apply a second layer to densify the color. And they will last more time.

My Summer Beauty Routine: Cleanser and Face Cream

After severe skin reactions last spring,

to get healthy skin, I decided to use a minimum of products and preferably “dermatologist”. This summer, my skincare routine limited to use the Eau micéllaire démaquillante (Micellar Cleansing Water) of Etat Pur, with a neutral pH (1). Perfect for combination skin. For a very cool and soothing effect, I put it away in the refrigerator.

As a tonic, I use the La Roche-Posay atomizer: excellent for calming the skin very sensitive to heat up under the association of sun, sweat and sunscreen. I store the mist in the refrigerator too, for an invigorating and firming effect.

The day, as I absolutely have to protect my skin from the sun, I use a sunscreen with very high index. And at night, I generously apply the cream Toleriane Ultra of La Roche-Posay (2), for allergic or intolerant skin that contains no preservatives, parabens, fragrance, alcohol, collorant and lanolin. Extra pure, with a completely airtight packaging.

This treatment has drastically improved the deplorable state of my skin after my severe allergy (appearance and comfort). SOS cream, super moisturizing and soothing (“anti-irritant”). After nearly two months of use, my skin was cleansed.

And for the pleasure to have a lovely color on the nails, I’ve finally worn Tour of Finance of ESSIE (3), a slightly metallic fuchsia pink. But I remain addicted to Ole Caliente, a punchy red-slightly orange.
