No fashion inspiration this week...but there's always something exciting about French skincare and makeup products, easily purchased at pharmacies or Monoprix in Paris.
Here are a few photos from a pharmacie near my apartment,
and the products I've incorporated into my daily regime.
Thanks for viewing!
Shine Sparkle Smile. Love, Myra
********************
Displays at my pharmacie today
(one of the few pharmacies open on Sunday in Paris!)
 |
| A jumble of hand cream and lip balm by Ducray...a great value for less than four croissants! |
 |
| La Roche-Posay |
 |
| Avene |
 |
| Holy Grail Cleanser: Bioderma Crealine H2O |
 |
| Always in my bag and at my desk: Caudalie Eau de Beaute Spray (far left). The fragrance is so different and refreshing...for the face...but I love to spray it behind my ears too! |
 |
| This Nuxe shimmer dry oil is a perfect pick-me-up for pasty skin! |
 |
| Filorga: Worth every centime... |
********************
Here's what I use daily...and I'm happy with the results!
 |
| Filorga Iso-Age Day Cream; Sleep and Peel Night Cream I can't say enough about Sleep and Peel...bottom line: smells great and works. |
 |
| Filorga Eye Contour Day/Night Cream (Filorga is available on amazon.com; website filorga.com) |
 |
| La Roche-Posay Anti-Redness Moisturizer (I like the added SPF 15 and it truly calms redness) |
 |
| Glytone is not always easy to find...but I've used it nightly for two years. Will always repurchase and have a back-up tube. |
 |
| Avene's Light Hydrating Cream is a must-have to mix with sunless tanners.... |
 |
| Et voila, my favorite sunless tanner, also by Avene. Great for the face and upper body. No heavy fragrance, lightweight, dries in minutes. |
 |
| Bourjois powders are FABULOUS! They smell amazing...very much like Chanel powders. The Vanilla color is a great base; the Hale color is perfect as a bronzer or a blush, or for contouring. The healthy mix concealer is not fantastic, but I like the boasting of fruit extracts. |
 |
| The Balm luminizer is not a French product (made in USA!) but I need to mention as I use it every day! Love Love Love this highlighter. Recommended by my makeup maven, Wayne Goss. |
 |
| It all starts with a clean face morning and night...but you know that. Bioderma Cleansing Water, Quickies Eye Makeup Remover, and DemakUp Sensitive Cotton Ovals. Once you start using Bioderma, nothing else will feel right. I promise! (Bioderma is available on amazon.com but very pricy...if you are in France grab as many bottles as you can fit in your suitcase! Great gifts for your friends!) |
 |
| Finally: Don't forget to start you day with a splash of vitamins. I love these fizzy tablets by Berocca...chock-full of anti-oxidants and sugar-free. Happy May 2012! OXOX. This posting is dedicated to my incredible dermatologist, Dr. Sophie Schmidt-Pillet. |
