Two products from Christian Breton

Christian Breton is a new brand for me, I never heard of it before reading a couple of reviews of other fellow bloggers and until recently when they sent me a few products to try. I already talked about the Christian Breton Anti-Wrinkle Face Mask* a few weeks ago and today, I have two more products I have been testing.

Christian Breton Compact Powder*

As I mentioned several times here, I am all for medium and natural looking coverage and I haven't used a heavy foundation in years (well I will probably use one on my wedding day but that's a different story!). I hate having a heavy base all day and my skin gets extremely oily after a few hours and I have the bad habit of touching my face all the time.

This compact powder is lightweight and I have been testing it in several ways; alone on top of a primer and also on top of a light foundation and on top of a BB cream. If my skin is having a bad day (dry patches), this sets in my pores and gives a cakey result. So it needs good hydration and preparation before using it.

When used with a primer and on top of a light foundation, it gives a natural matte finish which I love and lasts all day, from 7am in the morning until the afternoon. I also used it on top of a BB cream, it 'sits' nicely and gives me a matte and velvety finish, exactly what I look for and also, the natural look I love.

I like this powder and I have been using it ever since I received it.

It is available in four shades, Natural 03 is the colour I chose and perfect for my complexion.

You can find it here* for €29,00.

Christian Breton Eye Focus Eye Cream*

I think this brand nailed the products they sent me, anti-wrinkle products is what I always look for and this eye cream has been a pleasure to use. This product has been created to revitalize the eye area, the most delicate area of our skin and the first to show signs of ageing. I have been using this eye cream every day for more than a month and my skin looks smoother and firmer.

On their website, there are some results of the tests of women who applied this eye cream every day for two weeks:

80%: nourishes the skin in the eye and eyelids areas and is a comfortable skincare product to use.

100%: moisturises the skin of the eye area.

92%: reduces the skin's dryness.

76%: improves the skin's elasticity.

64%: improves the skin tone of the eye area.

60%: provides protection for the skin against environmental factors.

56%: improves the skin's appearance.

The results of the tests are impressive and I am happy to report that I feel the same since this eye cream works amazingly for me too.

My under eye area looks firmer and moisturized and when placed in the fridge, this eye cream gives a cooler effect and feels extremely comfortable to use. It is a light gel that is absorbed within seconds and does not feel heavy on the skin.

I really enjoy using this eye cream and it's been a staple to my skincare routine, I will continue to use it since it gives me the freshness and hydration my under eye area needs. Will I purchase when I run out? Probably not, it is too expensive for me but if you are interested, you can find more information here.
