What do I need facial care for?

The man must provide his face with the right care is no secret and yet it often turns out to be a bigger problem than one might actually suspect to bring a man’s skin and facial care closer. Too often you hear that in the shower with the 6 in 1 Body Shampoo Conditioner and Co. simply everything is washed and the rest of the care routine does not exist. But it is very important to protect the face and skin in general with rich care. Not only does this prevent impurities such as the hated pimples, but can also make aging more beautiful. The better you take care of your facial skin, the less wrinkles you will have in your old age.

What are my options?

Skin care is very diverse for men, as well as for women. There are those of us who have no problem with standing in front of the mirror for a while in the morning and in the evening and deal with our care routine and then there is the other variety, which attaches extreme importance to spending as little time as possible in the bathroom. So the different skincare products available to choose from also differ to suit each routine. From all-in-one creams to care routines with more than five different products all for a different purpose.

Examples for your care routine

According to some experts, it is enough in the morning to wash the face and to provide with a rich sunscreen for moisture in the skin. In the evening, the whole thing looks a little different. It’s all about washing the day off your face and providing the skin with enough care to soak in overnight.

For the morning:

• Mild cleansing of the face (washing foam, etc.)
• Apply sunscreen (sunscreen for daily use on the face)

For the evening:

• Clean face (cleansing oil)
• Apply moisturizer (night cream)
• Treatments (pimple cream, patches, masks & Co.)

What types of care are there?

Of course, the products also differ from each other. There are differences in the effect and of course also in the price range. From drugstore creams that you already get for 2 € to moisturizers from top brands for 900 € per 100mL you will find everything in the face care. We help you to find your way through the care products and show you the different types of products.

Cleaning

To rid the face of general dirt or grease that accumulates throughout the day and night in the morning or evening, cleanse your face with a selected product before continuing with your skincare routine.

• Washing foam
• Washing gel
• Washing cream
• Cleansing oil

Moisturizing

So that the face, particularly in the cold season does not become tense or even tears before dry places, the suitable moisturizing care may not be missing naturally also.

• Ointment
• Face oil
• Cream
• Serum

Treatments

To prevent or fight blemishes and pimple marks, wrinkles etc. treatments can be used. Either you can use them daily, or once to three times a week in a pleasant self-care session. To assess the regularity, one should either consult one’s dermatologist or follow the instructions on the packaging. Caution should be exercised when using physical peels on the face, as the thin skin on the face can easily be damaged by micro-tears during physical peels.

• Masks
• Peelings (physical or chemical)
• Pimple Patches
• Vitamin A or C
• Niacinamide

The MANicure: Hands to fall in love with

Manicure and pedicure are not only something for women. Sure, nail polish, shellac or other chichi can be safely dispensed with, but nothing beats neat, tidy nails. You don’t have to go to a nail salon, a simple manicure set with nail file, tweezers, clippers and scissors is enough. Make sure that your nails are always freshly cut, without any residue.

If you’re on the road a lot for business or travel, a set with rounded tips is a good choice, so it can even accompany you on a trip in your hand luggage.

And while we’re on the subject of well-groomed nails, hand cream is another gadget that not only benefits women. Men in particular tend to often do manual work or a lot of weight training, which makes their hands uncomfortably rough. Want to impress your girlfriend or even a woman you don’t know yet? Then use hand cream regularly!

Proper body care

The facial skin is especially different from the body skin, as it is a lot more sensitive. Therefore, the care is oh divided into the two areas. Accordingly, in the body care there are other methods to take care of his skin. Not only can the body skin withstand higher doses of the various active ingredients, but there is also less risk of blemishes or micro injuries. Peels, for example, are much easier to apply and have oh-so-physically different effects than on the face, where this type of exfoliation should rather be avoided. However, the same applies here: Fragrance-free products are the best and mildest choice!

Shower gel

With the shower gel, just as with the cleansing of the face, the body should first be freed from dirt, sweat and even dead skin that accumulates on the body.

• Shower cream
• Shower milk
• Shower gel
• Shower oil

Moisturizing

After showering, it is also important to moisturize and moisturize the body, similar to the face.

• In-shower cream
• Body oil
• Body lotion

Peelings

To completely remove all dead skin cells, exfoliation can help. Here again, a physical or chemical peel can be used, whereby the physical peel is not as dangerous on the body, as the skin on the body is thicker and not as prone to microcracks as the skin on the face. However, chemical peels are also good on the body and make the skin extra supple.

• Physical peelings (e.g. from coffee or sugar)
• Chemical peels (e.g. AHA or BHA)

Facial Care & Shaving

In our beard guide, we’ve already shown you how to get your facial hair into the right shape and which styles are currently on trend. With facial hair comes a few little problems that can often push your goal of beautiful skin further into the distance. You may suffer from razor bumps after shaving, making your skin look blemished. An impure skin appearance can be caused not only by lack of care, but also by too rough or too frequent shaving. ei some can of course also hide under a little groomed beard impure skin.

Distribute product with a full beard – Here’s how!

Who wonders whether the skin under the beard needs the same care as the rest is completely right. Many men think that they get around the facial care because a large part of their face is covered by a beard. But not only the beard itself needs care, but also the skin underneath needs the same care as the rest of the skin. The product can be worked into the beard a little more intensively than on the rest of the face area, so that the skin really comes into contact with the product and is cared for.

Smooth shave – What you should consider

Especially those who shave their face perhaps even daily, often have very irritated skin and suffer from redness or even shaving pimples. With the right care and the right products you can easily counteract this. First of all, you should make sure that the products you use are free of alcohol and contain no fragrances. This counteracts shaving pimples and at the same time ensures a smoother and more even skin texture.

Yves Saint Laurent: the designer, fashion & start at Dior

Yves Henri Donat Mathieu Saint Laurent discovered his interest in fashion and the beauty of women during theatre performances as a child. Born in Algeria, the designer moved to Paris at the age of 17, where he fulfilled his dream. He trained as a fashion and stage designer at the fashion school of the Chamre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. 1st prize in popular fashion drawing competition? Discovery of Vogue director Michel de Brunhoff? Assistant to Christian Dior? These are reasons enough why nothing stood in the way of YSL’s illustrious career. The beginning of his extraordinary career is the appointment as chief designer of the house of Dior.

Depression, alcohol addiction and drug addiction. It comes not only success, it comes a series of psychological problems. Thus, in 1960, he is fired from Dior. But he does not let this get him down. Instead, he fulfills his dream and opens his own couture house. Until his decline in the fashion world in 2002 and his death in 2008, he only tailors exclusively for his fashion house and thus inspires the entire fashion world.

Functionality and masculine silhouettes thanks to Yves Saint Laurent

The design talent revolutionizes women’s clothing. He creates an androgynous silhouette that allows women freedom and movement without losing their femininity, seductiveness and subtle sexiness. In 1966, he was one of the first to open a ready-to-wear boutique. 40 years later, he is the first designer to bring his shows live on the internet. He is the epitome of innovative and forward thinking! His most important creations in his career is the first tuxedo for women. He opens the door for women into the world of men’s cuts. A revolutionary moment in the fashion world. Other recognizable features of his collections are transparent dresses with a nude look and his consistent use of black. With his preference for the colour combination pink and orange, he once again manages to shock. Yves Saint Laurent is certain:

“Fashion is fade, style is eternal!”

Video: Yves Saint Laurents Life, Movie Trailer

The extraordinary leap from Algeria to the catwalks of the fashion capital Paris. The retirement in 2002. The death in 2008 after years of illness. And in between, one of the most exciting and glamorous careers in the fashion world. The following video gives you a little insight into the life of the design talent!

Yves Saint Laurent perfumes: In the shoes of Coco Chanel and Paul Poiret

He makes it his goal to shock and inspire with both his clothing and his perfumes. The empowerment of women through clothing and perfumes runs through his collections like a red thread. After Paul Poiret and Coco Chanel, he also enters the perfume business, realizing his personal love for the perfume & beauty world, but also the financial benefits that come with it. Following you will find a list of the most famous perfumes of YSL.

Y: Yves Saint Laurent first perfume

“lush, heavy and languid perfume!”

With his first fragrance, he shows his unfailing taste, his unusually good judgment of the balance between extravagance and elegance, and his understanding of women.

The heavy, languid and voluptuous perfume is presented in an elegant bottle behind the designer’s first initial “Y”. In the campaigns, however, it is brought closer to the clientele by the indomitable beauty Catherine Deneuve. The fragrance is created by Jean Amic, who uses aldehydes, honeysuckle, green notes, peach, mirabelle plum and galbanum as the main essences. Over time of wearing, it melts into the wearer and emerges as a soft, chic and leathery note on the skin.

Fragrance Rive Gauche: the perfume in a can

1971 – a year in which perfumes are highly respected, presented in elegant glass bottles in the most coveted rows of the display. Not so with Yves Saint Laurent. “Rive Gauche” has been sold in a sleek sort of tin since its birth. The column-inspired bottle is designed in a blue, black and silver graphic pattern of glass and metal. The composition of floral rose, the freshness of bergamot, vetiver and musk result in an avant-garde perfume for the independent and unpredictable woman. See for yourself:

• Rive Gauche Eau de Toilette Spray (€95)

Opium: Perfume advertising turns out to be a scandal

In 1977, the original version of the Opium perfume is created by Jean-Amic and Jean-Louis Sieuzac. In 2000, it comes to a reinterpretation and a shock in one: model Sophie Dahl poses naked in the intoxication of the opium-induced ecstasy. A campaign that causes a scandal. Due to public complaints, the campaign lasted only five days on the posters, but it will probably never be forgotten! In 2014, the latest interpretation of opium is introduced.

Video: Black Opium Campaign

The reinterpretation is called “Black Opium” and is advertised with Marie Salamagne, Nathalie Lorson, Olivier Cresp and Honorine Blanc with Edie Campbell as campaign faces. In 2015, the “Opium” perfume wins the “Fragrance Foundation Awards” in England for the best new fragrance for women. Convince yourself!

• Opium Eau de Parfum Spray (€165.77)
• Black Opium Eau de Parfum Spray (€109.42)
• Black Opium Neon Eau de Parfum (€159.97)

Yvresse: Orient in a bottle

This oriental-inspired fragrance originally bore the name “Champagne” when it was added to the range in 1983. However, the producers of the sparkling wine of the same name were not enthusiastic about the action and sued YSL. So “Champagne” gave way to the now familiar “Yvresse”. The combination of lychee and nectarine forms the exciting top note, which is sweetened by rose and broken by violet and patchouli. This fruity perfume was conceived for the young, free woman of today.

• Yvresse Eau de Toilette Spray (€99)

Video Libre: Freedom as perfume on the skin

One of the latest fragrance creations of the house YSL is the fragrance “Libre”. It inspires with its philosophy “freedom without borders” and its play of contrasts. Warm, feminine notes in the form of orange merge with masculine, cool nuances in the form of lavender to create a sensual, cool and at the same time floral perfume. Dua Lipa skillfully brings the philosophy of fragrance to the canvas. Convince yourself!

• Libre Eau de Parfum Spray (€138)

YSL fragrances for men

After Yves Saint Laurent managed to captivate the female world with his perfumes, he enters the male world with this venture in 1971. And there, too, it is to succeed with its concept, talent and creativity. See for yourself:

Pour Homme: YSL surprises with first men’s fragrance “Pour Homme

Charm, self-confidence and sophistication combined in one bottle. This fragrance is the personal scent of the legendary fashion designer. The composition of lemon, lavender, thyme, nutmeg and vetiver create an aromatic, fresh fragrance with invigorating nuances and warm structure. When presenting his first men’s fragrance, he also managed to shock again. This is how he himself advertises his perfume on the billboards. Splinter Fibre Nude.

“Perfume is worn on the skin, so why hide the body…?”

His realizations are often shocking and met with resistance, but the enthusiasm and love for his work always wins!

• Pour Homme Eau de Toilette (€99.99)

Y Man: a tribute to the independence and creativity of YSL

An extraordinary, sensual and luxurious fragrance for the self-determined, passionate man. The individuality, self-confidence and elegance of the man is perfectly underlined with this fragrance composition of Primofiore lemon oil, white aldehydes, ginger oil and bergamot oil with a hint of vanilla and incense. The fragrance inspires in different versions:

• Y Eau de Parfum (€104)
• Y Eau de Toilette Spray (€79.90)
• Y Eau Fraiche Spray (€89.92)

Jazz: for the freedom loving man

The spirited fragrance shines with its break between its aromatic freshness and its seductive warmth. The fragrance composition of coriander, basil, mugwort, lavender and cinnamon results in a perfume for the freedom-loving man who loves his life self-determined with an elated attitude to life.

• Jazz Eau de Toilette (€90.38)

Unisex fragrances: Perfumes for all

His timeless, progressive thinking once again gains the upper hand. So he creates unisex perfume lines and hits the mark directly. A fragrance that everyone can wear. Not only does he design an insanely commercial product, but he also makes a statement about the gender debate and stands up for gender equality.

Oriental Collection: Homage to YSL’s homeland Algeria

Four expressions from the Orient establish themselves as collectors’ items for perfume lovers!

• Supreme bouquet of white flowers
• Noble Leather from seasoning and leather
• Majestic Rose from sublime may roses

Lipsticks by Hermès – The Birkin Bag of Lipsticks?

Everyone knows the Birkin Bag, one of the most expensive handbags in the world, which for a while was a more stable investment than gold. Of course, lipsticks are not suitable as an investment, especially since they are a consumer product and have only a short shelf life. But the demand for quality and individuality should also be met by lipsticks. Does Hermes manage that? We try to find out.

Rouge Hermès: Refillable lipsticks

The standard collection of lipsticks comes in a white, black, gold packaging and includes eleven matte and thirteen silky lipsticks. These are mainly characterized by red and pink colors. The brand’s signature orange has also been immortalized in a lipstick. The special feature of the lipsticks is that the tubes of the lipsticks are refillable and the individual colors are therefore also available as refills. Thus, the label reflects its motto ‘Quality is characterized by repairability’ also in its lipsticks.

Rouge Hermès LE: Seasonal colours

In addition to the standard lipstick range, Hermès has come up with something special. In seasonally coordinated colors and with an equally limited sleeve, new lipsticks are added to the brand’s assortment every fashion season for a limited time. Sometimes darker and more ashy than the regular ones and sometimes more colourful and exciting. It’s an unusual idea to follow the fashion season. Even though you’ve seen the concept of collections before with other brands. Often, however, these are fully represented on the make-up market. A courageous step for a label that dares to make its first attempts in the make-up sector. It remains to be seen whether the limited editions will continue and, above all, whether Hermès will further expand its make-up range in the coming years.

Video Hermés Beauty: Beauty is a gesture

In the staging of the lipsticks, one recognizes the Parisian chic for which the brand stands. Restrained colors and smooth contours characterize the outfits of the models as well as the environment in which the spot was shot. The lipsticks represent the splash of colour. Beauty is a gesture – this is the motto of the new make-up collection.

Hermès perfume: exciting fragrances and exclusive niche perfumes

Like many other labels, Hermès has also divided its perfumes into collections. These include somewhat cheaper fragrances in larger editions and niche perfumes in the high price range, which are produced in lower quantities. Accordingly, these are more difficult to find in a perfumery.

Video Twilly d’Hermès: The most famous women’s fragrance

Twilly is inspired by the joie de vivre of young women. The perfume stands out due to its slight sharpness. It seems a little more distinguished than other mainstream fragrances of large fashion labels. Prominent fragrance notes are especially:

• Ginger (citrus hot)
• Tuberose (floral-sweet)
• Sandalwood (warm-woody)

So Hermès has developed a fragrance here that stands out compared to others. It is exciting, cheeky and almost cute. In addition, the fragrance turns out to be a real all-rounder. Whether in the office or sipping cocktails, Twilly somehow fits in. The bottle is also special. The lid represents a black melon that Twilly has perkily placed on his head. Wrapped around the neck of the bottle is a colorful bow, meant to represent the perfume’s namesakes, Hermès famous Twillies. Twillies are narrow silk scarves that are meant to be versatile accessories that add splashes of color to simple outfits.

Exactly this function also fulfills the Twilly fragrance, so the name is chosen very appropriately and not only resulted in a really cute bottle, but is also very indicative of the perfume. The great bottle makes Twilly an excellent gift.

Les Jardins series: sniffing out the gardens of this world

Hermès has bottled the scents of gardens around the globe in the Les Jardins series. A total of five fragrances can be found in this collection:

• Un Jardin sur la lagune
• Un Jardin sur le toit
• Un Jardin sur le Nil
• Un Jardin en Méditeranée
• Un Jardin aprés la mousson

Un Jardin sur la lagune – a flower garden with a sea view. Magnolias, salty sea air and driftwood can be detected in this perfume. Compared to the rest of this fragrance series, Un Jardin sur la lagune stands out because it is synthetic-elegant, but hardly carries green fragrance elements. Only a gentle sea breeze provides freshness here.

Un Jardin sur le toit – A roof garden with fresh fruit, flowers and lots of greenery. An oasis of relaxation, but also a place where you can pursue hobbies undisturbed and have a view over the entire surroundings. Parties are also celebrated here and one enjoys company. Fresh and fruity homeland feelings to spray on the skin

Un Jardin sur le Nil – An exotic garden near the water. With green mango, lotus flower and sycamore wood. Fresh, slightly fruity and gently warm can describe this fragrance. Citrusy, slightly aquatic and a lot of green. Definitely better suited for warm seasons.

Un Jardin en Méditeranée – Who is looking for spicy green will find it here. A little herbaceous and tart smells the garden at the Mediterranean Sea. This is sweetened only by the hint of fig, which accompanies the rest. Another fragrance that provides refreshment in hot weather.

Un Jardin aprés la mousson – A garden after the monsoon rains. That’s what the fragrance promises. A tropical storm that can breathe new life into its environment. A bit of holiday has also been included. A touch of cocktails that is so understated that you hardly notice it. Very much green and aquatic-fresh scents.

Les Colognes: Hermès fragrance library

Hermès’ fragrance library for men and women comprises seven scents. The concept is somewhat reminiscent of the high-priced fragrance collections of other fashion houses such as Tom Ford, Dior, Céline and others. Fragrances are taken from thoughts and scenarios, which are cleverly combined and nobly bottled.

• Eau de néroli doré
• Eau de mandarine ambrée
• Eau de gentiane blanche
• Concentré d’orange verte
• Eau de citron noir
• Eau de pamplemousse rose
• Eau de rhubarbe écalate

These predominantly citrus-fresh fragrances are not only sold as eau de toilette, but also as care cream and shower gel. A combination of all products of a fragrance helps to intensify the durability and of course the smell itself.

Top 5 men’s, women’s and unisex fragrances from Hermès

Especially when it comes to buying fragrances on the Internet, the decision can often be difficult. To make it a little easier for you, we have summarized the best fragrances of the brand as clearly as possible. If you are looking for even more choice, browse through our beauty segment.

The best men’s perfumes from Hermès

The selection of men’s perfumes from Hermès is quite impressive. We present the absolute best sellers to you:

• Terre d’Hermès
• Voyage d’Hermès
• Bel Ami Vétiver
• Equipage Géranium

Terre d’Hermès – with fresh orange peel and a lot of tart vetiver, this fragrance is very unusual and definitely not for everyone. But just fans of vetiver perfumes will love this one

Voyage d’Hermès – The olfactory journey is this time without vetiver. For it it becomes here spicy-woody. Further with a citrusy-tart note. This fragrance is definitely more catchy than what you know from Terre d’Hermès.

Bel Ami Vétiver – another vetiver fragrance that starts citrusy and then gently dives into soft leather. If you like leather scents, like a new car with leather seats and a new pair of shoes, or even the well-groomed leather jacket, you will like Bel Ami Vétiver.

Equipage Géranium – An outdated fragrance classic from Hermes. The fragrance is already a bit dusty. Unfortunately, it can not keep up with party perfumes that fill the clubs fruity-herb. Rather, it is soft. The fragrance, as one imagines him on true gentlemen.

Overall, men’s fragrances from Hermès are not party fragrances. They are not something you would immediately recognize as a fragrance. Rather, they blend with their wearer. But anyone who makes an Hermès fragrance their own can assume that it will bring out their personality in the best possible way

The most popular women’s fragrances

Also for women Hermès offers a large assortment of exceptional perfumes, so that you get an idea, which it is worth to test we have selected the most popular fragrances.

• L’ambre des Merveilles
• Un Jardin sur le Nil
• Amazon
• Caléche

L’ambre des Merveilles – Warm, sensual and seductive. This is how the spicy fragrance comes across. It is not heavy, but pleasantly creamy. This is by no means a gourmand-sweet fragrance. Rather, it acts like a vanilla blossom that gently envelops the wearer. Perfect for cold temperatures and hot dates.

Un Jardin sur le Nil – This fragrance was already described in detail in the previous part. Actually, this is a unisex fragrance, which is worn due to its slightly fruity-sweet note but especially popular with ladies.

Amazone – The name already suggests: This is a fragrance for the strong, independent woman. Floral-green and tart is this little water. The tartness is caused by a small amount of vetiver. In general, this fragrance is better suited for more mature ladies. But also younger women who are looking for a change from the sweet, soft-floral fragrance landscape should take a look at this fragrance.

Caléche – The ladies who first wore such a perfume were probably spotted in a carriage from time to time, because Caléche is indeed a classic. Aldehyde notes are also known from Chanel No.5, among others, and Caléche is also the easiest to compare with this fragrance.

The most exciting unisex fragrances

Unisex fragrances are on the rise, especially in the high-end perfume segment. Tom Ford, for example, offers a wide selection of unisex fragrances, but Gucci has also launched a great unisex perfume on the mainstream market with Memoire d’un Odeur. Hermès’ selection in this area is also impressive.

• Amber Narguilé
• Cuir d’ange
• Vétiver Tonka
• Rose Ikibena

Ambre Nargilé – Finally, a gourmand fragrance from Hermès. Although the label often restricts itself to spicy, fresh fragrances, here the friends of sweet scents that make your mouth water get their money’s worth.

Cuir d’Ange – Not only angels can wrap themselves in this soft powdery leather scent. Hermès has managed to enchant the otherwise harsh leather note so wonderfully that both men and women can wear it.

Vétiver Tonka – This fragrance combines so many scents: rooty-nutty, woody-green, but also sweet. If you can’t imagine nutty fragrances, you should try Olympea by Paco Rabanne or Angel Muse by Tierry Mugler, because they also carry the sweet hazelnut note. In Vétiver Tonka, however, this is packaged quite differently, much more restrained and less gourmand, but sweet enough to not get enough of it.

Rose Ikebana – Floral freshness with tea, rose and rhubarb. Especially rhubarb is very rare in perfume production. One of the most successful fragrances with rhubarb is Mon Guerlain, but where Mon Guerlain becomes sweet, Rose Ikebana finds a floral-spicy curve and blends so much more gently with the skin of the wearer.

Silk scarf or perfume: why not both?

Especially since silk twillys from Hermès are in the same price range as many of the perfumes, the question of which attention would be the better gift naturally arises quickly. However, the two together make the best combination and we’ll tell you why.

Properties of silk accessories

Natural fabrics like silk, which is used in the silk accessories by Hermès, absorb perfumes particularly well. This is because, unlike many plastics, natural fabrics have very absorbent fibres. So if you spray a silk scarf or a Twilly with perfume, the scent will last a long time.

Additionally, silk accessories are cleaned with the utmost care. This gentle approach means that perfume is not simply washed out of these fabrics.

Video: Variety of Twillies Scarves & Shawls

Moreover, silk scarves and twillys are extremely versatile companions. On the one hand they can be worn around the neck, the head or for example as a belt and on the other hand they can be attached to jackets, bags and the like to enhance them optically.

Perfumes from Lancôme convince worldwide

Lancome perfumes are real fragrance classics. The intense fragrances promise durability. Rose is almost always present. The flower also adorns the logo of the brand. Skillfully combined and presented in impressive flacons sic the perfumes.

La vie est belle: joie de vivre in a bottle

La vie est belle is a very heavy, sweet fragrance that unfolds unmistakably on the skin and wants to give the wearer happiness and joie de vivre. The bottle stands, through the help of different design elements, for femininity and freedom. Curvy shapes and curved lips paired with wings: The bottle is meant to unite all of these. The gourmand fragrance also claims these characteristics for itself. Flowers and sweet delicacies fill the nose. You find yourself in front of a patisserie full of little sweets in the most beautiful pastel colours. Pink, pistachio and also the odd soft sky blue. Fruity-sweet scents drift onto the street.

But that’s not all. Next door is a flower shop with the most fragrant flowers imaginable. Lush petals and a tiny hint of fresh greenery. La vie est belle conveys this fragrance impression with the help of:

• Pear (fruity-sweet)
• Blackberry (berry)
• Iris, orange blossom and jasmine (flowery-oriental)
• Patchouli (natural-fresh)

This fragrance essence may also live on in the other fragrances of the series. The collection now includes 10 fragrances and is supplemented again and again by special editions:

• La vie est belle EdP. EdT and l’absolue
• La vie est belle Intense
• La vie est belle Intensement
• La vie est belle en rose
• La vie est belle l’eclat EdP and EdT
• La vie est belle EdT florale
• La vie est belle Bouquet des Printemps

This selection is so comprehensive that for almost everyone the right fragrance is there.

Trésor: The fragrance of eternal love

Since the 90s, Tresor has been bringing sensuality to the skin. It should be self-confident and radiate pure femininity. The fragrance is sold in a bottle that resembles precious jewels to make the experience perfect. Of course, roses and iris are represented in the fragrance combination, but other notes also characterize the perfume:

• Peach blossom (soft-floral)
• Lily of the valley (fresh-bumy)
• Sandalwood (woody-warm)

This makes the scent feel like a warm, flowery embrace and literally wraps around you, yet it’s not oppressive. But also the Tresor fragrance series is reinvented again and again and so have joined the original series even more, but what distinguishes the new fragrances from the original?

• La Nuit Trésor: gourmand chocolates characterize the fragrances
• Trésor Midnight Rose: Pink pepper adds spiciness
• Trésor in Love: citrus notes brighten the fragrance

Trésor is also shaking off its dusty reputation and offering new, exciting fragrances for women of all ages. Trésor fragrances are also perfect for a first date. If you’re looking for more fragrance ideas, we’ve got more first date scents for you.

Idôle: The fragrance for the woman of today and the heroine of tomorrow

Invincible, self-confident, strong: that is the wearer of this fragrance. The intensely floral perfume makes for great appearances.

“This fragrance creates soul connections and makes women feel like they can achieve anything their heart desires.”

Boundaries do not know idols. Restraint becomes a foreign word for the wearer. Idole attracts attention to you and is the perfect companion for days when you have big plans.

Make Up by Lancôme: Mascara, Foundation and Lipsticks

Lancome can also be seen in the field of make-up. The brand has a wide range of different make-up products. We have collected popular products for the perfect make-up look for you here.

Perfect foundation for your skin type : Teint Idole, Teint Miracle and Hydra Zen

The perfect make-up starts with the optimal foundation. Lancome offers products for different skin needs and the color selection tries to offer you a perfect match. Small tip: If you should not find your skin tone despite the large color selection, you can mix the colors with each other. If you want to mix different foundations, check first if both have the same base. For example, water-based foundations don’t blend well with oil-based foundations. This could lead to an unsightly, blotchy result.

In general, the base of foundation can be of great relevance when buying, as different skin types have different needs. For example, water-based foundations are suitable for skin that tends to produce excessive sebum. Oil-based foundations pair better with dry skin. Wax-based foundations, such as stick foundations, promise better durability, but can stay on the skin and be more difficult to blend, depending on the skin type.

These are all things you should be aware of before buying foundation, so you can make the perfect choice. If you have a favorite foundation but want to try something new or haven’t found the perfect color yet, just take a look at the composition and compare it with the ingredients of the foundation you have your eye on. Here we have collected a few foundations from Lancome and also tell you the same for which skin type these are best suited.

• Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear: oily and combination skin (oil-free, matte finish)
• Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Stick: normal and dry skin (with oil and paraffin-like substances)
• Lancome Teint Miracle: very dry to normal skin (water-based with glycerine)
• Lancome Hydra Zen BB Cream: oily, combination and normal skin (water-based with alcohol)
• Lancome Teint Visionnaire: 2 in 1 for mature skin

Of course, there’s hardly anything like a test, but this way you can start your foundation purchase prepared.

Hypnôse Mascara and Eyeliner for Expressive Eye Make Up

From natural daytime make-up to dramatic evening looks, Lancome has the right products for every occasion. Starting with the essentials. To help you keep track of the selection of products, we present the brand’s most popular mascara and eyeliner products:

• Hypnose Mascara: gives volume and nourishes
• Definicils Mascara: optimally separated lashes
• Monsieur Big Mascara: for extra voluminous lashes
• Artliner: precise application due to liquid texture and felt tip
• Crayon Khol: creamy, highly pigmented eyeliner pencil

These products optimally emphasize your eyes and have been in the Lancomes range for many years. This confirms the quality and persuasiveness of these products. Both the Hypnose and the Monsieur Big Mascara are also available as a waterproof version for events that require a little more endurance. To remove the products, especially the waterproof ones, Lancome also has a solution. This comes in the form of the Bi-facil Make Up Remover. This is with its two phases in a position not only to remove foundation, but also helps with more stubborn lipsticks and waterproof products. Responsible for this is the oily, blue phase, which is able to dissolve waxy make-up products.

L’absolu and Juicy Tubes for full lips

Whether matte or shimmery, the selection of Lancome lip products offers a good mix of high-quality lip products. Especially children of the early 2000s are all too familiar with the lip glosses from the tube. Lancome was one of the first brands to offer these in the high-end market as well. The application method, which allows you to determine the amount of product yourself was perfect for the 2000s lip gloss trend in which the rule of thumb:

If your best friend can’t check her reflection in your lip gloss, why are you even wearing it?

Lancome Juicy Tubes are offered in 10 colors and are perfect for the Y2K revival. In some, the tube glosses will definitely evoke a memory or two. The highly pigmented L’absolu Rouge lipsticks cater to many tastes with their different finishes and fab variations. In addition, the L’absolu series has been complemented by less pigmented Lip Balms. The lipsticks come in sleek, black and gold tubes. In addition to red and pink tones, there are also a few fancy colors in the collection.

Video: Zendaya Coleman for Lancôme

Zendaya Coleman is not only seen alongside Tom Holland in the new Spiderman adaptation and in the TV series Euphoria. Recently, she has also become the advertising face for Lancome. Her full lips are perfectly highlighted by the L’absolu lipsticks. The natural beauty also cuts a good figure as the advertising face for a cosmetics brand.

Luxurious body and face care from Lancôme

Lancome stands for high-quality facial care with innovative ingredients. Which series is intended for which skin type and the most popular products of each series, we summarize below clearly for you. For an overview of all skin care series, visit the Lancome website.

Visionnaire: Sleep Perfector, Crescendo and more

The Visionnaire skin care series was developed for uneven to blemished skin. Light gel textures a pleasant feel distinguish the series. The processed molecules are designed to penetrate all layers of the epidermis. The epidermis is the outer cell layer of the skin. The main function of the epidermis is to protect against negative, external influences. The body’s own protective shield requires special care to be able to perform this important function optimally. The following products from the Visionnaire series are ideal for this:

• Visionnaire Nuit Beauty Sleep Perfector
• Visionnaire Advanced Skin Corrector
• Visionnaire Yeux Eye on Correction
• Visionnaire Serum

Hydra Zen: Relaxing facial care for the home spa

Nothing beats a relaxing visit to the spa. Sometimes, unfortunately, there is no time for that. Therefore, Lancome has developed a facial care series, which should allow to bring the spa feeling at home. Because constant stress also makes itself felt in the skin and face. Lancome wants to fight these signs like small wrinkles with Hydra Zen. Relaxing and moisturizing, with the following products you can bring the spa home:

• Eau Micellaire Confort
• Hydra Zen Jelly Mask
• Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Cream
• Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Eye-Care

Imagine you come home in the evening. The day was exhausting and your nerves are tense. A hot drink or a glass of wine is what you want. So you grab the drink of your choice and head for the bathroom. There you draw yourself a hot bath. While the bath water flows into the tub, you remove the residues of the day from your face with the Eau Micellaire Confort. You tuck your hair out of your face and apply the refreshing Hydra Zen Jelly Mask. Then you slowly slide into the comforting warm bathtub. With a book, a film, a radio play, relaxing music or whatever helps you to switch off. You soak up the warmth. Your muscles relax. The daily routine is behind you. Maybe you even lit some candles or used a fragrant bubble bath.

After a while you get out of your bath water, which has cooled down a bit in the meantime. You wrap yourself in a towel and spread your favorite body lotion in massaging movements on your skin. Then it’s time for your face. The mask is washed off and the soft skin that appears underneath is treated with the Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Cream. Gently spread the nourishing cream over your skin. Finally, take care of the delicate skin around your eyes with Hydra Zen Anti-Stress Eye-Care. The stress of the day is behind you and you can relax in bed.

Nutrix: Care for face and body

The Nutrix skincare range by Lancome offers a rich selection of products for face and body. They offer the perfect complement to the relaxing products of the Hydra Zen series. So if you want to add Lancome body care to your spa routine, the Nutrix range is the place to go. The range offers hand cream, body lotion and a moisturiser for that extra dose of care.What’s the difference between lotion and cream? We’ll tell you here:

The main difference lies in the richness of the products. Body creams and body butters usually have a higher fat content. This has a greater care effect, but at the same time they need longer to be absorbed. Body creams and butters often leave an oily film on the skin. Body lotions on the other hand focus more on moisture retention with the help of glycerine. While glycerin has the advantage of being plant-based and less greasy on the skin, it can also leave a sticky film. On the other hand, body lotions are lighter and absorb faster into the skin.

Dior Parfum: The right fragrances for women

We have already mentioned above that Dior’s fashion is closely linked to fragrances. Now we would like to introduce to you the fragrances, popular all over the world. The label not only pays attention to the quality of the fragrances themselves, but also claims that this quality is also reflected in the design of the flacons.

Dior Poison Collection: Poison, Hypnotic Poison, Poison Girl & Co.

The Dior Poison collection is an absolute classic. The fragrances surround the wearer with an attractive scent cloud. The bottle design is reminiscent of a crisp, red love apple. But the name already suggests that this apple is not just sweet and sticky. After the fragrance, established in 1998, became very popular, the Poison series was expanded more and more. Today there are a variety of scents included in the Poison collection:

• Hypnotic Poison
• Poison Girl
• Poison Girl unexpected
• Pure Poison
• Poison

The classic of the Hypnotic Poison series is not only offered as a perfume, but also as a deodorant, body lotion and hair perfume. In addition, the fragrances can also be purchased in different sizes.

Perfum Dior Poison fragrance: Scent nuances

The sweet scent combination that makes the fragrance so unique and has contributed significantly to the success of the original perfume is complemented by further nuances in the successors. In the core, however, all of them carry the following notes within themselves:

• Almond (sweet-bitter)
• Yasmin (oriental-floral)
• Vanilla (sweet-creamy)

Poison Girl represents the fresher, more youthful little sister of the classic Poison fragrance. This claim is underlined by the fragrance components:

• bitter orange (citric-bitter)
• rose (floral)
• tonka bean (warm and spicy)

In the Unexpected version, bitter orange is replaced by ginger in the fragrance structure, which results in a slightly more spicy scent.

Pure Poison stands out in the collection above all because, unlike the other essences, it appears in a mother-of-pearl-coloured bottle, thus stepping out of line. Pure Poison has less sweet components, bringing a little freshness to the lines of the collection:

• bergamot (citric)
• orange blossom (floral-tart)
• white musk (synthetic)

Warm and spicy, fruity, oriental. The Poison fragrances have claimed to unite unusual notes and thus represent perfumes that give self-confidence. The last fragrance of the Poison series also falls into this category.

• coriander (oriental-spicy)
• Tuberose (flowery)
• Opoponax (resinous)

Video: the magic Dior Poison fragrance

A captivating, warm atmosphere with crackling fire in a gloomy setting. This is the impression Hypnotic Poison is intended to leave. This atmosphere is captured here. Let yourself be carried away into the sensual world of Dior perfume and experience this fragrance in a completely unexpected way.

J’adore Dior: Flowery fragrance explosion for women

A fragrance series that comes in a sensual, curvy bottle. The gold rings around the neck of the bottle are also not unfamiliar to the beholder. They should remind us of the gold rings around the necks of women from many different ethnic groups. For example the Massai or the Padaung women wear a variety of gold rings around their necks, because on the one hand they symbolise femininity, but on the other hand they are also rites which are supposed to lead to a particularly beautiful appearance. This is exactly what the J’adore fragrance is meant to achieve. Part of a ritual that reminds women to carry their beauty to the outside. Not only through visual stimuli, but also in the form of fragrances. The path to the goal is paved by these scents:

• Ylang-Ylang (sweet-floral)
• rose (floral)
• Jasmine (oriental-floral)

Ylang-ylang is known for its endorphin stimulating and therefore positive effect. Especially as one of the main notes, ylang-ylang is not very often used in the perfume industry and thus contributes to the uniqueness of J’adore. François Demachy, perfume creator at Diors, says about the fragrance:

“J’adore invents a flower that doesn’t exist.”

Video Dior J’adore: Star Charlize Theron as model

Since 2014, Oscar winner Charlize Theron has been the face of the J’adore commercial.

Miss Dior: Blooming Bouquet & Rose’n’Roses

This fragrance bears the title of the first perfume created by Christian Dior. Although it has undergone many changes in recent decades, the essence of Dior is still prevalent. The fragrance is meant to celebrate and accentuate the female curves. This achieved by combining:

• rose (floral)
• bergamot (citric)
• rosewood (subtle-woody)

Flowers followed by warm wood makes this fragrance special. Such a successful fragrance as Miss Dior is of course always checked for topicality. As a result, sometimes new fragrances are created that retain the essence of the classic. Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet is one of them:

• peony (flowery)
• bergamot (citric)
• white musk (synthetic)

Because the standard version of the fragrance didn’t have enough rose in it already, Dior has decided on putting even more rose in a single fragrance. Hence, Miss Dior Rose ‘n Roses was created. Cleverly broken up, the flowers are married with citrus notes:

• rose (flowery)
• bergamot and mandarin (citric-sweet)
• white musk (synthetic)

Dior Parfum: Attractive fragrances for men

Dior Homme: Sports and Intense

Fascinating masculinity in a bottle. That is Dior Homme in a single sentence. But how does Dior keep this promise? An unusual blend that is woody and makes the fragrance all the more exciting. The appealing scents:

• patchouli heart (soft-floral)
• vetiver (oriental-tart)
• cedarwood (wooden-spicy)

The Intense version of the fragrance combines iris and ambrette seeds to make a creamy-musky combination. The Sport version, on the other hand, brings citrus and spicy notes to the fragrance to create a fresh and tart scent experience. So if you are not a friend of warm men’s fragrances, you can also use the Sport version.

Tips for curls that you can make yourself

You have straight hair and everything you do to get a few curls into it has no use? Then try the following methods. We have picked out a colorful mix of different methods for you to help you. With or without heat, big or small curls, light waves or extreme volume: we have something for everyone. Have a look at the individual methods and decide for yourself which one works best for you!

Curls without heat: Is that even possible?

This question can be answered with a definite yes. Curling without heat is not only beneficial, it also protects your hair. Strong heat is harmful to your hair. High temperatures cause damage inside the hair. This not only results in dull hair, but also causes severe hair breakage. The stronger the heat that is applied to your hair, the more it is stressed and damaged. That is why the following methods are a blessing for your hair.

The first two methods are super easy, so that anyone – really anyone – can use these methods and have beautiful curls afterwards. With the first method you divide your hair into small sections and form small dutts with the individual strands of hair. Then you just have to wait (preferably several hours). Then you open your hair and your perfect curls are ready.

In the second method you use socks. Yes, you have read correctly: socks. Similar to the first method, you divide your hair into sections and wrap the strands of hair with the help of the sock, which acts as a kind of curler. At the end you only have to knot the socks together so that the individual dutts hold. Again, wait a few hours. Use this method before going to bed, so that you don’t have to walk around with the socks for hours.

Mini curls have power: the straw method

Mini power curls that would be something, wouldn’t it? With the straw method, anyone can have power curls for a day and it’s easy. You divide your strands of hair into very small sections. Then you take a straw and wrap the hair around it. You need a small rubber band to fix the hair. Again, you will need a little patience. After opening the strands you will be surprised how much your hair has changed.

Summer waves in your hair: Overnight and without heat

If you prefer to be a bit more discreet and just want to see some Beach Waves in your hair, check out this hair tutorial. All you need is a scarf or a thin towel. Divide your hair into two parts and place the towel or scarf in the middle of your head so that there is a piece of the scarf or towel on both sides of your head. Now you only have to wrap your hair around the scarf or towel. You should wait several hours to achieve a perfect result. Try it out!

Curling with curling iron and straightening iron

There are of course methods with devices that you can easily use to create magical curls. The advantage is that you don’t have to wait a night or walk around for hours with socks in your hair.

Very simple tips and tricks for curls with the appropriate devices

If you have a curling iron or straightening iron at home, you can use them fabulously. In her video, Dominokati shows you how to proceed best and which things you have to consider. Have fun watching and copying! But remember: as already pointed out, intense heat can damage your hair. So be careful about the temperature you work on your hair.

Hairstyles for curly hair: Here you can find my 7 favourite looks

The “All Natural” Style

You don’t need any hair utensils, heat, hair ties or anything else to go with the “All Natural”. Just shake your hair once and get out of the house.

The Puffy Bun

The Puffy Bun is also not very difficult to imitate: Simply comb hair back tightly with some hair powder or gel, tie a braid as far up as possible, and then tie a loose chignon with a hair tie. It’s best to pinch off any protruding hair with bobby pins. Then style the baby hair and you’re done!

Let’s get wild: The “Messy Bun”

The “Messy Bun” is, if you have curls, one of the easiest hairstyles. Simply style your hair up like a braid, tie a hair tie loosely around it, pluck out a few strands in the front and optionally style your baby hair. Done!

A post shared by @ig.curls on Oct 11, 2017 at 4:35am.

Fruity: The “Pineapple” Look

The “pineapple” look is very easy to style with 2-3 hair ties and optionally a scarf. Simply tie your hair into a braid at the very top (with all 2-3 hair elastics) then pluck it forward so that some hair hangs over your forehead, almost like a pony. Loosen the hair at the back of the head a bit and pluck out a few strands on each side of the “bangs”. Et Voilá!

Everything times 2: The “Double Bun”

For the “Double Bun” you have to comb your hair to a middle parting, then a braid on each side to the desired position. Use another hair tie to create a chignon of the desired size on each side and fix any protruding hair with bobby pins. The double bun is finished. If desired, style the baby hair with some hair pudding.

A post shared by BIG Hair, BIG Dreams (@curlybeautys_) on Jun 8, 2017 at 9:11pm.

The “Strict” braid

The “strict” braid you conjure up almost as quickly as a classic ponytail. Simply comb hair, with a little pudding, strictly down, tie braid, style baby hair and ready!

The classic ponytail

One of the easiest disciplines in terms of hairstyles. Simply tie your hair into a braid at the back of your head. That’s it! – Who wants to have it a little more sleeky with hair pudding and brush strictly back and then tie a braid.
