Espieve Sunscreen

 

We all know sunscreen is year round  and awhile back I got to try a new SPF. Espieve was founded by a mother and esthetician . 

Espieve  Body Spray Sunscreen is a  mineral based spray that goes on light with SPF 25. The formula is somewhat moisturizing without being greasy and leaves no white cast. It blends right in .  It has several seed oils along with hyaluronic acid and vitamin e while being reef friendly and cruelty free. There is also little fragrance.  

Made in the USA  they also have lip balm, tinted and non tinted sunscreens and a nice brush that you can use to brush in your SPF or makeup. 

 Espieve Body Spray Sunscreen is  $40  and available at Espieve

Chanel Chance Eau Splendide

 

Chanel debuted the new Chance Eau Splendide with a little music. A record by the face of the fragrance singer Angèle

The new scent is fun and fruity but not super sweet with  green notes of rose geranium and cedar wafting through along with rose, violet , iris and raspberry. I am not a berry fragrance fan in general  but I like this one, it's not a berry scent but more green floral. The violet is prominent along with the rose and the berry but also the cedar to keep it from heading in  a sweet direction.  It's a beauty for Summer  , it wears softly but still has staying power with medium sillage . 

To hear the record go to my Instagram page . 

Chanel Chance Eau Splendide is an EDP and  is $143 for 1.7 oz and $176 for 3.4 oz 

Eau D'Italie Acqua Di Positano Fragrance Travel Sizes

 

Eau D'Italie @eauditalie_official  has a new fragrance , Acqua Di Positano. Sunwarmed, salty and  citrus  , it's a  beauty. 

Heavy on the orange blossom but soft orange blossom, blooming off a salty ocean breeze with petitgrain adding more citrus and driftwood bringing light woods. It's bright and sunny and easy to wear. The driftwood gets a little musky at the drydown conveying that warm skin in the sun feel with the citrus and orange blossom staying in the scent too. 

Eau D'Italie and Altaia are also now available in travel sizes. I love when a brand does this. Easier  to take with you yes, but also more affordable. The 10ml of Acqua Di Positano is 55$. Travel sizes are also available in the Signature scent, and Altaia's Don't Cry For Me and By Any Other Name are $68. 

Eau D'Italie is exclusive to www.beautyhabit.com  in the US.

RoC Derm Correxion Firming Serum Stick Advanced Retinol

It's hard not to like skincare in a stick. So easy , so portable. And also cute. @rocskincare RoC skincare's new Firming Serum Stick is all of these. It's  been  awhile since I had tried any of RoC's  newer launches and when I saw this online , I knew  I  had to try it. Fun fact, I was a RoC official ambassador at one point many years ago . I still have the badge on my blog page. 

The new Firming Serum Stick is a clear gel like formula with retinol that you turn up and swipe on. It's not sticky and is lightly moisturizing . It glides on easily, no muss, no fuss.  How much easier can skincare get ? A big plus ? It really works. I've been using mine for about 3 weeks but I noticed a brightening pretty quickly, some smoothing and I had been using another retinol product previous to this one. After a couple days I noticed a difference.   I've been using this on the backs of my hands too. And they've gotten much smoother. 

I often moisturized with a cream over it but not always. When it's colder  I need some extra moisture,  when it's warmer like today ( almost 90') not so much. If you are drier skinned than you'll want to add a cream over it.  I didn't find it  drying to my skin, but most retinols I've used in the past weren't either. And again, I did usually add something on top of it. Unfortunately I don't know the % of retinol here as it's not listed. By the way it's worked I'd say a decent bit. 

 The Serum Stick also has glycerin for  moisture and cranberry fruit extract and ascorbic acid for antioxidants and newer ingredient THPE that is said to tighten and contour , while working with a retinol. I found this quote online from a RoC press release "Firming THPE, whose efficacy is clinically proven and was published at the American Academy of Dermatology, lifts, significantly improves facial contours, and increases skin's firmness by 1.9 times, while slow-release Pure RoC Retinol continually boosts elasticity and reduces lines and wrinkles."
