Relevant to the thread that just came out of my queue yesterday with @talesofourworlds' Ion; drawn for my girlfriend at the same time we started the thread. Anise being concerned about her boy when he's unwell.

J'erre comme un point d'interrogation

TWISTober Day 6: Broomquet Birthday

(Feat. Lázaro )

Argemone Ochroleuca, Violas, Marigolds, and Tithonia Diversifolia. These all made up the bouquet of one Lázaro Muertinez. Bedecked in blue robes and large hat, he pranced through Ignihyde on a birthday high. In his dorm's lounge, the party had already began. Music blared, dormmates chatted up a storm, and the smell of anise and orange wafted over all else. Blue draped from every corner that would allow, but in stark contrast, the bright marigold yellow truly was what designated this party as Laz's. Tradition said to have a cake present, but per the third year's request, everyone else could have cake. He was more interested in that pan de muerte off to the side.

Ortho zoomed up to the birthday boy the moment he arrived, ever the warm welcoming committee.

"Lázaro Muertinez! You've arrived!" the small mechanical boy declared. "Are you all dressed and ready for your interview?"

"Muy guapo, eh?" Laz asked, giving a moment for his dormmate to drink in his visage with a smirk. "Whenever you're ready, Arthurito."

"Okay! First Question: Do you consider yourself Good or Bad at flying?" Ortho asked.

"I'd like to think I'm not half bad; better than a lotta the fishy folk I have class with!" Laz beamed.

"Speaking of: Next question is 'What is your best class'?"

"You know me, hermano: Music is my life! Can you blame me for wanting to get an easy A on my last year before internships?"

"You also are a part of the Pop Music Club, right?"

"You bet! I feel bad for lil Kalito; he's gonna be the only one left when Cater, me and Lilia take off, next year..."

"Yeah, Brother's taking off next year too. I wonder if I ought to go with him or if he wants me to stay..."

"You'll have to let me know what you decide next year. I might be taking off but I ain't gone! We can still keep in touch, right?"

"Hmhm, Yep!" Ortho cheered. "Last question, then, 'What do you do on your down-time?'."

"Kinda going back to the second question on that one, Arthurito. Gotta keep my playing sharp for when I make it big! You'll stop by one of my shows when I get out there, won't you?" Lázaro asked with a somber hopefulness.

"Of course! I'll see if Brother would be able to show me how to do one of those wotagei dances for when we go!" Ortho nodded.

"Then I better remember to get a stash of glowsticks!" Laz chuckled.

"With that, though, the interview is over. And here I present: your broom, Lázaro Muertinez," Ortho declared.

"Thanks, hermano," Laz said.

He let his eyes wander across the device to admire the handiwork. Ignihyde blue ribbon, bright yellow and orange blooms accented with pops of purple, and a sturdy dark wood stick. He lent it against his shoulder to get a couple photos in as some of the party-goers ushered him deeper into the lounge. In a flourish, the celebrators revealed a large Ignihyde piñata. The third year's marigold eyes shone with anticipation. One of his dormmates snuck up and yanked the birthday boy's hat down over his eyes. Instead of readjusting it, his brain suddenly found another purpose for his newly-appointed broom. Turning it over so the blooms wouldn't take the brunt, Laz drew his broom back in a mighty wind-up.

"Let's get this party started!"

Biryani Paste Demystified Unraveling The Ingredients And Techniques

Biryani, an ambrosial and scrumptious rice dish, has come a cherished culinary delight across the globe. The secret behind its rich and sweet taste lies in the magical creation known as biryani paste. This composition aims to clarify the art of biryani paste, exploring its constituents and ways to help you master the art of creating this essential element of a succulent biryani.

At its core, biryani paste is a mix of spices, sauces, and aromatics that inoculate the rice and meat with a burst of infectious flavors. The exact composition of the paste can vary depending on indigenous preferences and particular tastes, but there are a many crucial constituents that are generally set up in utmost biryani pastes.

sweet Spices Biryani paste generally includes a variety of sweet spices similar as cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and star anise. These spices advance a warm and ambrosial note to the dish, creating a tantalizing aroma that permeates every bite.

Ambrosial Sauces Fresh sauces like cilantro, mint, and curry leaves are essential factors of biryani paste. They add a stimulating touch to the dish, balancing out the intensity of the spices and furnishing a burst of vibrant flavors. Buy Spices Online India

gusto and Garlic The combination of gusto and garlic is a chief in Indian cookery, and it plays a pivotal part in biryani paste as well. These two constituents bring a unique depth of flavor and contribute to the overall uproariousness of the dish.

Onions Caramelized onions are frequently included in biryani paste to add agreeableness and enhance the complexity of the flavors. They give a savory base for the dish and help bind all the constituents together.

Yogurt Yogurt is a common component in biryani paste, as it acts as a natural tenderizer for the meat. It also lends a delicate texture and a slight tanginess to the dish, balancing out the spiciness.

Now that we have explored the essential constituents, let's claw into the ways involved in creating a perfect biryani paste.

Dry riding Sot riding the whole spices before grinding them releases their essential biryani paste canvases and enhances their flavors. toast a visage on low heat and gently rally the spices until they come sweet. Be conservative not to burn them, as it can affect in a bitter taste.

Grinding Once the spices have been dry roasted, allow them to cool and also grind them into a fine greasepaint. You can use a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder for this purpose. This step ensures that the flavors are unevenly distributed throughout the paste.

Sautéing In a separate visage, sauté the onions until they turn golden brown. This caramelization process adds depth and agreeableness to the paste. Add gusto, garlic, and diced sauces to the visage and cook until they release their aromas.

Blending Combine the ground spices with the sautéed onions, gusto, garlic, and sauces. Add yogurt to the admixture and blend it into a smooth paste. The yogurt not only adds creaminess but also helps to bind the constituents together.

Reference: Wikipedia

Once your biryani paste is ready, you can use it to marinate your choice of meat or vegetables. Allow the flavors to immingle together by chilling the marinated constituents for a many hour or overnight. When you are ready to cook, subcaste the marinated constituents with coddled rice and cook the biryani in a sealed pot or pressure cooker. The result will be an ambrosial, scrumptious, and infectious biryani that will leave your taste kids in admiration.

Falling For One’s Own Tricks-Drabble

Another town decimated, more lives displaced, more lives lost. The casualties today had been far less than the weeks and months before this. It seemed the Resistance had finally started to take his pre-emptive warnings to prepare seriously, Cataclysm never one to just appear and attack.

He always let them know before hand, with a few days leeway to allow as many civilians to flee as possible. More notably, the children. Even as he was now, he refused to harm a child unless his hand was forced, and even then, it would take a great deal to convince him it was necessary. No, in the off chance that he did happen upon a child, if the destruction hadn’t been enough to frighten them away, he chased them off with terrifying visages of monsters and nightmares via his tangible illusions.

The prolonged battle and day’s events had worn the jackal ragged, and after forgoing sleep for well over a week now, he was in dire need or rest, Ruby or no. After bidding the Doctor farewell, he had opened a portal, and descended into his haven, Null Space, the darkness embracing him like a vice. When the vortex of a portal was sealed behind him, only then did he shed his attire, the mask, gloves, and boots disintegrating into a flurry of softly glowing cubes. 

The world about him morphed, twisted, and then expanded, grass meeting his toes as he lowered himself from where he levitated. Casual clothing flickered into existence, adorning his body borne of his desire for it. A long sleeved off-white shirt, and a comfortable pair of loose-fitting, dark grey cotton trousers. Fingers lifted to pinch the bridge between his eyes, rubbing as his feet carried him along the familiar path toward a seemingly innocent cottage bordering the edge of a forest.

Here, he was free to do as he pleased. Here, there were no eyes to judge him, no ears to listen to his uneven breaths, no one to call him ‘weak’. The door of the cottage was opened with clawed fingers, Cataclysm stepping inside, the scent of anise and cloves washing over him. Nostalgic. It always had been ‘Nym’s’ favorite scent, even though ‘Zero’ had always complained it bothered his overly sensitive nose.

As he made his way to the bedroom, there was already a figure seated atop the mattress, a jackal reading a book on some new martial arts skillset, golden hues averting the book to meet with Cataclysms orbs of amber and crystal blue. The jackal atop the bed had shorter, almost blonde locks, where Clysm’s were a near stark white. A scar was seated just above the other males nose. He wore that familiar green bandana. Chaos, he never took that thing off.

“So, you’re finally home, Zero?” The name was garbled, a name that Cataclysm refused to remember, even here, even now. Remembering that name would surely break the illusion and cast him into a tumultuous cacophony of spiraling depression and yearning, for something he could never have again. Closing the space between himself and the jackal on the bed, Clysm climbed in, sighing softly as he moved to rest a head in the others lap, effectively taking up the place the book had just been and shooting the other an exhausted yet fond look. 

“It was a long day, Nym. May we just rest tonight?” The other jackal chuckled softly, his voice light and airy, if a bit cocksure, brows waggling suggestively. “You sure sleepin’s all you wanna do?” It seemed even in this façade of a life, his mate was just as annoying, just as irritating. Funny how what once would have aggravated Cataclysm to no end, now only hurt.

“Though I’ll admit, ya do seem beat. So, you rest up. I wanna finish this book, alright?” The other jackal, Nym returned to his book, while fingers began to card idly through the long tresses of Clysm’s hair, only leaving once every so often to turn a page. Heterochromatic orbs had already grown heavy with exhaustion, his lids half mast. He feared the nightmares that lingered just on the horizon, but more than that, he was reluctant to leave this illusion so soon.

Nym’s voice sounded once more, quieter this time, almost saddened. “You know...you can’t keep doing this right?” There was the faintest flicker of pain to glaze Clysm’s eyes, his heart aching, a shudder of a breath exhaled from between clenched fangs, his jaw tightening. How annoying, that even in this illusion, his lover happened to be the voice of reason still. “I know.” He would deny until his dying breath the way his voice had cracked in the middle of the admittance. “Just...let me stay here a little longer."

“You are one of the strongest men I know. I told you this the day I saved your life. You never would have caught my eye had you not been strong. It still holds true now.” There was a pause, an elongated silence, and then; “But...eventually, you have to let us go. The team, me... You know this. I can’t say or do anything that you don’t will into existence yourself.” Another page was turned, yet eyes weren’t reading the words. Even borne of his own mind, Nym felt as real as if he were actually there in the room. He was warm, soft, firm, exactly how Clysm remembered him.

“If I let the others go...If I let you go...I would have nothing left.”

“I don’t think you believe that.”

Rolling onto his back to stare up at his deceased mate, his other half, Clysm’s smile was broken, as shattered as his heart. His heterochromatic orbs filled with unshed tears, refusing to let them spill over. “Let me live this lie, just a little longer. Soon, everything will fall into place. Soon, my final act shall be put into motion. And soon, I’ll finally be able to join you and the others. But for now...allow me this moment of weakness.”

Sleep was encroaching fast, and despite his best effort, a tear had managed to fall free as those clawed digits continued to comb though his hair. But the next words would be seared into his memory for months to come.

“Is that really what you want, Zero?”

@of-elitiism​ sent a letter

[ Marcus ] A pinch of cloves, one of anise, beads of black pepper and the peel of an apple, all fall from his hands and plop into the boiling pot below. No, the witchy woman hadn't gracefully taken him as an apprentice, despite the fact that one could argue preparing mulled wine is quite alchemic in its nature. From the sweet fruit on the vine to the inky red concoction simmering with spices, it's a full transmutation, was it not? Though arguably not as grand as the ones she might be capable of, Marcus is still quite pleased that she'd let him meddle with her pots and herbs on this special little evening.

It's not long before he turns towards her, a mug in each hand and a smile on his lips. The chambers filled with the aroma of cinnamon sticks and brown sugar, a rare resource around these parts that he'd hoarded for a while and finally used to enrich this experience. He has no lavish gifts to offer, only a small statuette he'd carved out of oak of a perched crow for her desk and, of course, his humble company as they enjoy Christmas night together. The mugs set down, Marcus takes the seat across from her and leans forward, elbows on the table. Tentatively, his hand covers her and strokes the back of her palm as he sips his wine.

"...Merry holidays, Qistina."

 -  🜛  - When he had made the suggestion of brewing the pair of them some wine for the christmas evening, she was equal parts suspecting and inquisitive. Nearly hovering over his shoulder as he commandeered her kitchen, smiling coyly when he delicately shifted his body so that she may closely observe his fine work. Centuries had passed since last able to allow for another to handle the preparation of foods, every passing day for the last six hundred years  -  nearly forgetting entirely what it was like to sit and wait for the meal to be sat in front of the plate.

Not until the concoction had begun to waft throughout the room with its tempting scents of peppers and cinnamon had she been struck with the realization of what he was making. Eyes now bursting with high anticipation for what she was about to taste! But she is at least patient enough to return to her seat, back straight and palms flat against the wooden dinner table.

A smile shines warmly from the ancient face, thinking back on the morning they'd shared alone together. First his beautifully carved gift that so perfectly resembled Poe, and now wine? Hand brewed wine. . .? The last time she had tasted anything remotely similar to alcohol had been out of the rucksacks of strangers and utterly foul  -  but this? But this had been something brewed straight from the heart.

Marcus sat right across from her and began to stroke her hand, and she could feel her body shiver. Her first christmas with another person. A special somebody for whom she would not trade for anything.

            “ M, merry holidays, Marcus. ”    

the deep stare of ruby treasure troves blinks slow 'tween his worn hands to his ruggedly handsome visage ; and how she wished to lean forward to KISS him! But later, perhaps? Later might she find this surge of courageousness when the lights were near faded to darkness, to thank him when simply the  ' word '  itself of  ' thank you '  was not enough? The moment he'd spoken her name, she set down her wine to reach out for his hand, holding his with both of hers.

          "  I have not had a christmas with another person in five hundred years. You have, truly, made this day special. And. . . the wine is delectable. You will have to come by and make even more. . . maybe, I too could make something for you. Later this evening? If you would like to extend your visit a bit longer? "

...no thought did He give...sacrificed me to violence...the light vanquished and my skin shedding...my cold beyond touch...and veins with nothing to give...blood of life, blood of gifts...blood absence...visage of immortality, ageless of face and lightness of foot...anise wings hovering the bed...soul revolving door...the violence waged and the world about me cringed...they feared my being, my unbecoming...I, steadfast and comatose...unsteady waves and blind...paging through the voices...connecting to the memory of vine charcoal smudges, reflecting back the tale of demise, and it’s not simple, not easily defined...my existence questioned, until 3:00am...Genesis...from a death repose, I’m resurrected, gasping for air...teetering, one foot in, one foot out...and I weep not, nor do I register vocally in the pitch of their heartstrings...I merely listen, taking it all in...the phantom sensations...the sewing of a new seam of life...I hear confessions crashing a funeral...I drop communion from my tongue and beat back the mourners...I’m His very sin brought back to life...I’m His abomination and sacrifice...I’m the embodiment and manifestation...The Sin and The Absolution...Death’s compass true north...Lilith’s womb waging war...

Smouldering Desire

By  BY ALISE MARIE

Facial Masque Yields 3 treatments

1/4 C besan (chickpea flour) 3 whole star anise ¼ cup spring water 1 tsp. pumpkin seed oil

Begin by removing the star anise seeds from the pods. Place the seeds in a mortar, and grind them open with a pestle just enough to release the oils. Transfer them to a ceramic or glass bowl. Next, warm the water on the stove until it is hot, but not boiling. Pour the water into the crushed seeds, and let them steep for at least 30 minutes. Strain. Spoon the besan in to a separate bowl, and add the cooled star anise tea, a little at a time, until you have a thin paste. Now drizzle in the pumpkin seed oil, and stir gently until well blended.

Apply a thin layer to a freshly cleansed face, neck, and décolleté, massaging in a circular motion, gently exfoliating the skin. Leave the masque on for 10-20 minutes, then remove with a warm cloth. Rinse well with cool splashes of water, and pat dry. Follow with your toning mist and beauty oil as needed. This facial is a fabulously sexy New Moon potion, but feel free to use it again during the Waxing phase as you like. Infused with seasonal pumpkin, and Jupiter-ruled star anise, it is well-suited to bringing all good things to you, especially in Autumn!

Beauty Witch Tip: This recipe makes enough for three facials – the magic three – so share some during a little witchy spa party, or use it three nights in a row during the budding Moon to further beckon positive energies.

Besan is one of my all-time most beloved Beauty Witch ingredients (as many of you know!) that I return to as a masque base constantly. Why? Because it simply outshines all others. Inexpensive and madly effective, this ancient beautifying flour lifts dead surface skin while infusing nutritive oils, leaving you with an incredibly soft, well-polished visage, and a stunning glow. As an exfoliant, it is gentle enough for all skin types, and can be used 3 times per week.

Star Anise is a madly pretty powerhouse. Long associated with aiding psychic awareness and bringing luck, it also does wonders for your skin. Potent, fragrant compounds help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles while firming and repairing damaged skin, simultaneously keeping breakouts at bay. Now that’s what I call a witch’s best friend!

Pumpkin Seed Oil is amazing for both keeping the skin healthy and moisturised, via its essential fatty acids and high antioxidant content, including vitamin E, which helps to protect from environmental stressors. It also does wonders for both sensitive and acne-prone skin by maintaining a healthy oil balance. Ruled by the Moon, pumpkin attracts money and assists healing, so keep this with you while you are creating your potion, and applying it with love to your face.

Bienfaits :

Ingrédients :

Aqua, Glycerin, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Mica, Propanediol, CI 77891, Vitis Vinifera Leaf Extract, CI 77491, Levulinic Acid, p-Anisic Acid, Sclerotium Gum, Polysorbate 60, Sodium Hydroxide, Sorbitan Isostearate, Sodium Levulinate, Aesculus Hippocastanum Seed Extract, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Parfum, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Sodium Salicylate, Centaurea Cyanus Flower Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Galactaric Acid, Sodium Dehydroacetate, Linalool, Limonene, Amber Extract, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate

Mon avis :

Lorsque je vous ai présenté ce masque lors de mon unboxing de la Prescription Lab de ce mois, je ne m’attendais absolument pas à découvrir cette sublime texture couleur gold!

Déjà que je suis une “masque addict” en temps normal, alors là, j’étais complètement surexcitée à l’idée de le tester!

Surtout que lors de mon swatch sur ma main, j’ai senti que la texture était ultra douce!

Le soir venu, j’ai enfin pu passer au test armée de mon meilleur pinceau ^^

Cette texture est complètement folle!

Nan mais regardez-moi la beauté de la matière avec sa couleur mordorée remplie de paillettes!

Des masques “gold” j’en ai déjà testé quelques uns et franchement, ils ne lui arrivent pas aux poils (du pinceau)!

La texture est fluide, onctueuse et d’une incroyable douceur…c’est un vrai plaisir à appliquer sur la peau! Elle s’étale avec facilité et dépose une fine couche sans avoir besoin de repasser ou de reprendre de la matière.

(Ma photo ne lui rend pas honneur vu que je l’ai fait le soir 😦 )

Une fois posé, le masque ne coule pas et sèche tranquillement sans avoir cette sensation désagréable d’avoir la peau qui se fige ou qui tire.

Les 10 minutes passés, j’ai retiré le masque avec une serviette mouillée à l’eau tiède-chaude.

Après la première application de ce masque, j’ai constaté que ma peau était lumineuse. Il restait des paillettes microscopique qui donnait au teint un effet lumière vraiment très sympa. Pas boule à facettes hein, mais plutôt un effet bonne mine comme si la peau était légèrement teintée.  La sensation d’hydratation est également bien présente, ma peau ne tiraille pas et n’est absolument pas rouge (ça m’arrive parfois après le retrait d’un masque).

Lors de l’application suivante, j’ai fait ce masque le matin. Je voulais absolument voir si l’effet de lumière allait se voir une fois maquillée. Bien entendu, je n’ai pas appliqué de fond de teint, j’ai laissé ma peau au naturel, juste avec mes soins de jours.

Une fois mes yeux maquillés, un coup de blush et un petit ral nude ça apporte vraiment un teint bonne mine, c’est super sympa!

Maintenant, je préfère tout de même continuer de l’appliquer le soir, ça fait parti de mon moment détente cocooning.

Conclusion :

Ce petit masque est une superbe découverte!

Que ce soit par sa couleur, sa texture ou encore son rendu sur la peau, je l’apprécie énormément!

Depuis que je suis abonnée à cette box, et malgré les a-prioris que j’avais au début sur les produits de la marque Prescription LAB, je peux vous dire que chaque mois, j’attends avec impatience de voir quel soin de la marque je vais pouvoir découvrir!

Test : Soin hydratant Jour HELIAGREEN de Heliabrine

Coucou, on se retrouve aujourd’hui pour un nouveau test: celui du soin Jour Hydratation & Douceur Heliagreen de Heliabrine.

Je ne sais pas si tu connais cette marque, personnellement c’était une découverte. Heliabrine est en fait une marque de cosmétiques implantée à Monaco depuis plus de 60 ans !  Autant te dire que ce n’est pas nouveau.

J’étais donc curieuse de découvrir cette crème de jour. C’est parti pour te détailler à la loupe ce soin hydratant visage.

  Soin Jour Hydratation & Douceur HELIAGREEN

39€ le tube de 50ml.

Ce que dit la marque:

Le Soin de jour “Hydratation & Douceur” Héliagreen est une crème à la formulation naturelle adaptée à tous les types. Elle possède de nombreuses propriétés anti-âges et antioxydante, et aide votre peau à retrouver tout son éclat. Ses vertus hydratantes sont intenses, immédiates et durables : dès la première application, votre peau gagne 75% d’hydratation dans la première heure, et près de 30% supplémentaire au bout de 7h.

Sa texture fine, fraîche et fondante et sa senteur florale font de son application un véritable moment de plaisir.

Composition :

Water (Aqua), C15-19 Alkane, Dicaprylyl Ether, Propanediol, Glycerin, Arachidyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, Lauroyl Lysine, Behenyl Alcohol, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Sodium Levulinate, Carbomer, Cetearyl Alcohol, Kaolin, Arachidyl Glucoside, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Anisate, Sodium Hydroxide, Gaultheria Procumbens (Wintergreen) Leaf Extract, Xanthan Gum, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract, Phytic Acid, Tocopherol, Padina Pavonica Thallus Extract, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil.

Mon avis:

La texture de cette crème est riche aux premiers abords. Je l’ai d’ailleurs testée la première fois le soir, de peur de me retrouver luisante !  Mais finalement, elle se révèle légère après l’application et se fond très bien dans l’épiderme. Elle ne laisse pas de fini gras et brillant. Son hydratation est très bonne, elle apporte beau coup de confort. La peau est plus douce après.

Concernant la composition, il faut dire que ce cosmétique est composé à 99% d’ingrédients d’origine naturelle. On y retrouve de la Grenade et du beurre de Karité pour l’hydratation. L’Algue Brune a quant à elle des vertus adoucissantes et raffermissantes. Enfin la Gaulthérie joue sur l’éclat du teint. Cette crème hydratante obtient la note de 100/100 sur Yuka.

Le seul petit détail que j’ai moins apprécié est son odeur. Certes légère, je trouve qu’elle ressemble à des bonbons. J’aurai préféré aucune odeur.

Artejia : Des cosmétiques anti-âge

Tu connais Artejia, la nouvelle marque marseillaise ? Ils proposent une gamme de produits de cosmétiques anti-âge pour vieillir en beauté.

L’innovation principale de cette gamme est l’utilisation d’un actif unique, breveté, la Lygalamine, qui est issue de la recherche biomédicale française. En plus de cet actif breveté, la Lygalamine, la composition des produits comprend seulement 15 ingrédients dont un écran solaire minéral 100% naturel contre les méfaits connus des ultra-violets (UV), de l’acide hyaluronique hydratant et de l’huile de mirabelle réputée pour ses qualités contre l’assèchement cutané.

On va s’intéresser plus particulièrement à la crème de jour préventive hydratante, puisque j’ai pu tester ce produit.

Crème de jour préventive & hydratante

50,00€ le flacon de 50 ml.

Ce que dit la marque : La crème de jour intelligente et intelligible permet de préserver la peau du vieillissement cutané tout en lui apportant une hydratation intense. À utiliser chaque matin seul ou après avoir appliqué le sérum.

Composition : Aqua, Zinc Oxide, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Prunus Domestica Seed oil, Glycerin, Coconut Alkanes, Glyceryl Stearate / Cetearyl Alcohol / Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Diaminohexyl Trihydroxybenzamide HCl (Lygalamine), Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Sodium Levulinate / Sodium Anisate, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Polyhydroxy stearic acid, Xanthan Gum.

Mon avis : On peut commencer par les notes attribuées à ce produit pour sa composition. C’est unanime : 19,4/20 depuis INCI Beauty, et 100/100 depuis Yucca. Là pour le coup, pas de doute possible, on est bien sur un produit clean. Le flacon pompe est pratique, recyclable et hygiénique.

Que dire de cette crème ? Que du bien ! Elle est juste top. La texture est hyper agréable et pénètre rapidement dans la peau. Elle laisse le visage hydraté, doux, sans effet de brillance. Elle n’a aucune odeur (pour moi, c’est un plus). Ma peau a adoré ce produit! Elle est plus repulpée. Le fait qu’elle contienne également un indice UV, pour moi, c’est la cerise sur la gâteau. S’il fallait un défaut ? Son prix ! Mais il s’explique par l’innovation et les actifs .

  Pour terminer, les produits d’Artejia sont naturels et locaux, élaborés dans le laboratoire de la marque installé dans le sud de la France. Les composants sont uniquement européens : 0% d’ingrédients chimiques controversés, 0% de composants d’origine animale, 0% d’additifs et 0% de conservateurs. Les flacons sont 100% recyclables, y compris les étiquettes, et n’ont pas de boîte pour réduire les déchets. Un sans faute!

J’ai testé les soins Océopin

Les soins Océopin, vous vous souvenez ? Je vous avais fait découvrir la marque via un podcast. Aujourd’hui, on passe au test de deux des produits de la gamme.

Pour rappel, la marque s’est implantée en Aquitaine, au coeur de la plus grande forêt de pins en Europe: sur la presqu’île emblématique du Cap ferret. Le lieu est stratégique puisqu’elle y récolte son actif phare, la graine de pin maritime, et en extrait une huile rare et précieuse. Du coup, la production est responsable de part son gage d’excellence mais aussi sa traçabilité. Elle s’inscrit dans une filière de récolte durable et peu mécanisée, qui existe avant tout par et grâce aux homes.

Redensifiante, anti-rides et ressourçante, elle est un soin du visage indispensable matin et soir pour les peaux sèches, sensibles et déshydratées. Il est à noter que cette crème a remporté le trophée Cosmébio de l’excellence cosmétique 2018-2019.

J’avais un peu peur en voyant le mot « huile », je me voyais déjà toute luisante … Bien au contraire, cette solution lavante est très agréable, et j’adore le parfum qu’elle laisse sur la peau. On y retrouve de la gelée royale Bio, de la Niacinamide pour apaiser et de l’extrait de concombre Bio pour régénérer.
