StriVectin Clinical Corrector.
We all have a beloved makeup product, that one we cannot live without, mine is doubtless concealer. So when I received the € 30 Sephora voucher for my birthday, I centainly knew I was going to invest in light a concealer /highlighter to use with a BB cream, so I chose StriVectin Clinical Corrector for 29 €.
Es un producto de Tratamiento para la zona de la ojera, es decir, no sólo camufla, sino que también ayuda a prevenir y difuminar arruguitas a la vez que hidrata.
The StriVectin Clinical Corrector Eye Illuminator comes in a 7ml plastic tube with a gloss type applicator very handy to apply the exact amount of product you need. It comes in two shades: light and medium. Mine is Light.
It is a Treatment product for undereye area, it does not only conceal but also helps prevent and diffuse small wrinkles while hydrating.
It has a watery and light texture and a light and subtle coverage. The duration is about 4-5 hours sealed with loose powder, but being so moisturizing, you can carry it in your purse and reapply when needed. Without powder it leaves a very juicy, bright and natural looking finish, but its staying power is really low. I like to pat it with fingertips on the undereye area, this way it gets integrated and then I seal it with loose powder.
I specially like that it does not crease, which is one of the things that worries me most about make up. I find it perfect if you do not have very dark circles, and all you need is a touch of brightness in your undereye area for a light and fresh daily makeup and a rested and fresh look.
¿Conocíais StriVectin? ¿Cuál es vuestro corrector/ iluminador favorito?

Weleda Stretch Mark Oil. Weleda: aceite anti-estrias.
Tal como ya os comenté AQUI, he seguido una rutina sencilla, con el aceite de ducha de L'Occitane en vez de gel, aceite tras la ducha con la piel aún húmeda, la crema untuosa para en el abdomen de Mama Bee una vez me seco, y por la noche vuelvo a aplicarme aceite.
Como podéis imaginar, me ha dado tiempo a probar un montón de aceites corporales: Pai, Burt's Bees, The Body Shop, Bio Oil, y el último, el que os enseño ahora mismo, el Aceite de masaje anti-estrías de Weleda.
Well, I think I can spread the word now: 39 weeks pregnant and no stretch marks! Brilliant! It's been a hard work though, 9 months of constant oil pampering, but I must also say that it is well worth the effort.
As I showed you HERE, I've followed a simple routine using L' Occitane Shower Oil, then after the shower I applied oil on my damp skin, and then, after towelling dry I used to apply a thick Mama Bee cream on my belly. Then I usually reaplied oil on my tummy at night.
As you can imagine, I've had enough time to try several body oils from brands such as: Pai, Burt 's Bees, The Body Shop, Bio Oil, and the last one I've tried, Weleda Stretch Mark Massage Oil.
Aceite 100% vegetal compuesto por aceite de almendras dulces, aceite de jojoba, aceite de germen de trigo, árnica etc. Está recomendado durante todo el embarazo y en los primeros meses de lactancia. Contiene 100 ml. y su precio ronda los 15-18€.
An oil that helps prevent stretch marks or reduce their appearance if you already have some.
100% vegetable oil with ingredients such as almond oil, jojoba oil, wheat germ oil, arnica etc. It is recommended throughout pregnancy and during the first months of breastfeeding. It contains 100 ml. and it's about 15-18€.
Ha pasado a formar parte de mis aceites preferidos para el embarazo y que os recomiendo totalmente: Pai, Mama Bee y esta nueva adquisición, Weleda.
¿Y vosotras, usáis aceites corporales? ¿Alguno en concreto para prevenir estrías?
I have applied it with it circular movements on belly, back, thighs and breasts twice a day, and I have to say that I like it. It is a thick oil but leaves no greasy feeling on my skin when applied, it is easily absorbed, and has a quite intense scent but it is not overwhelming. It smells of the essential oils it contains: orange, lavender and geranium, even if you are not sure wether you'll like the scent, you must know that it disappears shortly after applying the oil on your skin.
