Instead of doing my favourite skincare products, I thought I would do something different. What’s more different than doing the exact opposite? I see nothing better than doing the worst skincare products I ever bought. It’s always helpful to know which products one does not recommend.
To get you started, here are a few details about my skin type and lifestyle.
First of all, I have a sensitive skin. I also have a combination skin. It means that it’s not easy for me to find products that will suit my skin. Bare in mind, if you have a different skin type, you might have a different reaction to the products I am mentioning.
As regards my lifestyle, I live in the city centre. It has a lot of pollution. It’s very windy and the climate is quite warm. We don’t really get cold winters here but we have very hot summers. I usually go to the gym at least 3 times a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less, it depends on my mood. I try to eat healthy most of the time but I will rarely say no to a pizza or a burger.
Biotherm, Aquasource hydrating gel.
First one my list is Aqua Souce hydrating gel. The texture & smell are fairly good. However, it didn’t do anything to my skin. If anything, I got a lot of acne whereas I usually don’t have much. I didn’t like it at all.Clinique all’ bout eye cream
This cream is not the worst product I have ever used but it did nothing to my dark circles. I even ended up having pink eyes. It still hydrates your eyes well. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to prevent dark circles from appearing and needs moisture.L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil
L’Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil wasn’t a good fit for my hair. I did something at first. In the beginning, they seemed a little more healthier and less dehydrated. Then after a few uses, it seemed to do nothing. My hair was greasier.Ora Paris, Argile shampoo & conditioner
I tried their Keratine range and it was amazing. This range however is pretty terrible. I have to wash my hair everyday if I use it. I would not recommend it at all. It is not nourishing at all either.I guess I was lucky enough not to come across too many bad products for my skin. What about you?
What’s the worst item of beauty you have ever bought?

I don’t know about you but the current anxious and stressful climate is making me do shopping therapy. I’ve been buying way too much lately. Mainly clothes and makeup but also a few homeware pieces. I’ve been doing my Christmas wish list. I’m adding stuff everyday at the moment… It’s getting out of control. Send help…
I thought I’d share with you my current wishlist. I would love to know yours as well.
1. That Na-kd dress of dreams
I feel in love with the lace details and the fit of this dress. I don’t own any cream long sleeves white dress. Strange as I own a lot of white and cream blouses.
2. A white hoodie
I’m looking for a comfy white hoodie to wear with a leather jacket or simply to chill around the house on the weekend. If you know of any soft and cosy white hoodie, please let me know!
3. A black aviator coat or Shearling jacket
I already own an aviator jacket. It’s the best. It’s pink. I have been wearing it for years and it is still in great conditions. However, I find that I’m lacking a black or neutral jacket. I have grey or coloured coats. I have my eyes on a couple but since last year, i cannot seem to find one that fits… I guess it’s the curse of being 5”1 and having no shoulders.
4. A book from a designer (Yves Saint Laurent or Dior)
I have quite the book collection but I’m lacking one thing. Designer books. I almost bought a book from Yves Saint Laurent last year when I was at the museum in Paris. I’ve always regretted not buying it. I’m hoping Santa will hear me and get one for me ahah
5. A big beige scarf
As a disclaimer, I should say that I own a million scarves already. It’s a passion of mine. Besides, I live in a very windy city so I tend to wear them very often. I would love to have a soft and big scarf in a pale colour.
6. Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
I already own this setting powder in a compact power. I recently spoke with a makeup artist and got the chance to try the loose setting powder. It completely changed my life. It's honestly even better.
7. Viktor & Rolf Bonbon perfume
I have had this perfume for years but I seem to have lost it. I’m so crushed. I love the smell. It’s sweet but not too sweet. The right amount that won’t make you sick.
8. Nintendo Switch
I’m late on the wagon but I feel like I would enjoy playing games. I have to admit it’s a long stretch as I never play games. I always feel tired and lose interest after a few weeks. This is the only reason preventing me from getting the Nintendo Switch.
9. White or sandy rug
I’m considering getting a big rug for the bedroom or the living room. It adds such a cosy and warm tone to a room. I love rugs but I have a cat so it would eventually end up ruined. I don’t know… What do you think?
10. A textured blazer
They are so trendy this year and always come back in style. I remember my mom used to wear them to work. I always dreamt of having a Chanel blazer or a Balmain blazer. I don’t think this will happen anytime soon but they are some fairly beautiful ones on the high street at the moment.
11. A beige bedspread
With the new bedroom, I feel like all my old bedspreads don’t go very well. I feel like I need more neutrals: white, beige, brown, greys. We need something not too over the top, rather minimalist.What’s on your wishlist, my birds?
