Marc Jacobs Daisy Skies

If ever there was a fragrance that was so perfect for this weather we are enjoying right now, it is Marc Jacobs Daisy Skies and if you’re a fan of the Daisy fragrance range, then this you will need!
Marc Jacobs Daisy Skies
Inspired by the blue skies and warm sunshine, Daisy Skies is delightful. Packaged in a pale blue glass bottle with the iconic 3D acrylic daisies on the lid, it is reminiscent of the rest of 
the fragrances in this range.
Fresh. Aquatic. Serene. Soothing and crisp like the breeze on a tranquil spring day. A scent inspired by the blue open sky and warm rays of sunshine.
The fragrance has top notes of Quince, Violet Leaves, Mineral Accord so it opens with a fresh light crispness with a hint of fruitiness as the heart notes of Lotus Flower, Natureprint, Jasmine and Violet which bring about the floral notes which sit at the heart of the fragrance as they intertwine with the fresh notes that open the fragrance to the base notes of Seaweed Abs, Musk and Sandalwood which keep this fragrance light, airy and brings together those floral and fruit notes.
Marc Jacobs Daisy SkiesAs well as being an absolutely stunning bottle, the fragrance is reminiscent of everything that you expect to be a sunny day with a. Right blue sky without a cloud in view. With a fresh, strong opening, as it dries down, Skies becomes a refreshing whilst also being light and airy. 

If you like a fragrance which isn’t overbearing and whilst it lasts all day, for me, it smells exactly as I would imagine the sky to smell. It has all of the notes and for me, those floral notes make this an incredible fragrance.

Daisy Skies is available in a 50ml bottle and is priced at £64.

Erborian CC Water

When I first tried the much loved and hyped Erborian CC Water, I was not a fan at all. I didn’t get its point and I wasn’t overly impressed with all the rave reviews, so I abandoned it to its fate and left it in a drawer, only to recently re-discover it.
Erborian CC Water
I’m a huge fan of Erborian as a brand and over the years, I have shared so many of their amazing products - Centella Cleansing Oil, PP Creme and one of my absolute favourites the Black Cleansing Oil.

CC Water is described as being skincare and coverage in one product which is infused with skin-loving ingredients that work to soothe and hydrate the complexion.
Create a natural, dewy base with CC Water Clair, a lightweight clear water-gel formula packed with encapsulated pigments that burst into colour once applied to the skin.
This CC Water is formulated with a whole host of amazing ingredients that not only soothe the skin but to also help improve firmness and elasticity before finally providing love-lasting hydration. 

CC Water Clair contains: 

  • Tiger Herb Extract (Centella Asiatica): Helps to soothe the skin, and helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Provides immediate moisture and hydration to the skin, making it look and feel more plump. Hyaluronic Acid is 100% naturally sourced and from natural biotechnological origin.
  • Glycerin: Moisturises and nourishes the skin
Infused with little spheres which are described as being encapsulated pigments, this CC Water seamlessly adjusts to the skin’s natural tone whilst giving you light coverage. These spheres look like little white dots sitting within a watery texture and as you apply the product to the skin, these white spheres pop to leave the skin looking fresh, dewy and smooth with no oily residue left on the skin.

To use, the advice is to apply a fine layer to the face with your fingertips, then work to carefully blend in the pigments for a flawless finish. Your fingertips add pressure and heat to the white spheres to allow them to blend seamlessly into your skin.  Once on my skin, this CC Water is perfect for those no makeup days and I really love the finish, it helps to cover blemishes, add hydration and the glowy finish is delightful. Most days, I tend to just complete my skincare, add my SPF and use CC water with mascara and a lip product and I’m good to go.

This CC Water is available in three shades:
  • Clair
  • DorĂ©
  • Caramel
I use the shade Clair which is the lightest shade and it works perfectly with my skin tone and it is also the shade option I choose for the BB Creme too.

I’m so glad I gave this product a second chance because I’ve already ordered another tube!  Priced at just £18.50 for 15ml or £39.50 for 40ml.
