New Black Rose Cream Mask from SISLEY – for smooth, plump and brighter skin

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

The new ‘plumping mask’ from Sisley

Bathe your face in a rich, floral cream to instantly restore the vitality and freshness of young skin.

For days when the face is tired, lined, and drawn with a sallow complexion, Sisley has an immediate solution:

a new soothing skincare mask which instantly refreshes, smoothes and energises the face thanks to its plumping formula rich in trace elements,

vitamins and anti-ageing active ingredients.

I already have every other mask that Sisley has created on my bathroom shelves – I cannot rate them highly enough and they are the masks I always reach for when I need my skin to look its absolute best. Not only do they have the most amazing ingredients, the best thing about the Sisley masks is that they work in the quickest amount of time! Yes, they are one of the more expensive skincare brands, but you only need to use a small amount of the product each time so I find that my masks last me ages. So, I was very excited about this new addition to the Sisley skincare range!

Masque Crème à la Rose Noire from Sisley

An instant youth and beauty boost combining three actions to restore a luminous complexion and skin that appears redensified, in only 15 minutes.

1. A cocktail of anti-ageing active ingredients for a smoothing and plumping action

• a key active ingredient: extract of Black Rose with smoothing, anti-free radical properties, for an instant tensor effect:

this extract is combined with three important Sisley anti-ageing active ingredients to spread through skin ingredients capable of providing a plumping effect and instant youth:

• extract of Alkekengi Calyx: a Sisley exclusive, is rich in polyphenols and renowned for its anti-free radical and anti-collagenase properties, as well as for its metabolic activity – stimulates synthesis of collagen types I and III

• extract of Padina pavonica uses cellular communication to boost the synthesis of GAGs in the fibroblasts and form an effective water reservoir for skin

• Vitamin E Acetate reinforces skin’s natural defenses. 

2. Plant extracts rich in trace elements,

vitamins and amino acids for a revitalizing action

• Extract of Red Vine leaf tones skin and improves radiance.

• extract of Chlorella, a marine microalgae rich in trace elements (copper, manganese and zinc), vitamins and amino acids.

Copper, Manganese and Zinc have a recognised biological role in the skin, namely in:

. the improvement of superoxide dismutase activity and the protection against free radicals

. the synthesis of proteins, carbohydrates and lipids

. cellular turnover.

• and essential oil of Geranium with stimulating properties.

3. Moisturising, Softening and Repairing action

• A new active ingredient: extract of Great Mullein – exclusive to Sisley -

with anti-free radical and soothing properties, is used in this skincare for its ability to prepare and protect skin in the morning as well as provide a feeling of soothing comfort at night.

here is it combined with active ingredients which calm, nourish, moisturise and repair skin to fully restore suppleness and softness:

. Shea butter, pro-vitamin B5, Vegetable Glycerine, and Phytosqualane,

. and finally essential oils of Rose and Magnolia to soothe and soften skin even more.

Sisley’s Black Rose Mask:

for a genuine moment of beauty that should be repeated as often as necessary

Its rose-scented creamy, fresh, easily applied texture plumps and moisturises skin, refreshes the face and lifts features.

This new mask acts efficiently on the traces of ageing, providing instant softness and comfort for a moment of true pleasure to enjoy by yourself.

Apply a generous layer to the face and neck, avoiding the eye contour.

Leave for 10 to 15 minutes, then wipe away excess using a cotton wool pad

Results:

When my mask arrived in the post, I didn’t want to wait until the evening to use it, I ran straight upstairs, cleansed my skin and applied it. It lived up to my expectations as the results were gorgeous – smooth, plump and much brighter skin – use this on the run up to your wedding day and I would also use it first thing in the morning of your wedding day and remove before you have your makeup applied – a truly beautiful product.

RRP £88

Reduce fine lines and puffiness around the eyes with Sisley Eye Contour Mask

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

I am a HUGE Sisley fan (there isn’t one product I haven’t tried of theirs that I don’t love)!!

The Sisley Eye Contour Mask is just as amazing as all of their other products and is a pre-wedding ‘must-have’ for a bride!

The eye area always shows how tired we are and it also shows the first visible sign of ageing. The run up to a wedding can be a busy and stressful time and often brides ask me if there is anything I can recommend for them to use around their eyes, to improve the appearance of tiredness and fine lines.

How does it work?

Thanks to a unique combination of botanical ingredients, vitamins and trace elements, this eye mask from Sisley works in just a few minutes to help rehydrate skin and smooth away visible signs of fatigue:

* Fine lines around the eyes appear visibly reduced; the eye area and eyelids are smoothed 
*
Under Eye puffiness and dark circles are visibly reduced in appearance
* The natural defense system of this delicate area is strengthened

The eyes look better rested, the eyelids and skin around the eyes smoother – the youthful appearance of this delicate area is preserved.

The orginal ‘gel patch’ tecture leaves an ultra-soft, imperceptable film which continues to work after the mask is removed.

The Sisley Eye Contour Mask is so easy and quick to use and delivers amazing results - use it morning or night on bare skin, before your moisturiser. Apply the mask in a thick layer to eyelids and skin around your eyes and leave on for 10 mins. The tissue off the excess product without rinsing and apply your moisturiser over the top – it’s that easy to use! You can also use this product around your lips.

This is the mask I personally use when my eyes are tired, or if I have a special occasion and I want my eyes to look bright and smooth.

Use before your wedding day to get your eyes in amazing condition and also on the morning of your wedding day, for beautiful bright eyes.

A beautiful fragrance for your wedding day – Eau de Sisley 3

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

Photo Packshot_ Eau de Sisley 3Fragrance is a very personal thing – as some people love soft, gentle fragrances, whilst others like something a little stronger.

Eau de Sisley 3 is a fragrance that I have recently discovered and I wanted to mention it, as I thought that it would make a beautiful wedding day fragrance!

If you are looking for something a little different from the fragrances we all see every day on the high street, then this is a fragrance to try as it a seductive fragrance and very distinctive, without being too heavy and overwhelming.

There are 3 fragrances in this range

Eau de Sisley 1 – described as ‘Floral and Joyful’
Eau de Sisley 2 – described as ‘Sparkling and Transparent’
Eau de Sisley 3 – described as ‘Surprisingly Addictive’

You are attracted more to the description of scents 1 or 2, it is worth trying one of them, but Eau de Sisley 3 is the one for me at the moment! The fragrances do come in 50ml bottles, making them the perfect wedding day/ honeymoon size (not too big to travel with).

To describe this scent – it is definitely a sensual fragrance and is s spicy, floral scent. Top notes are luminous citruses, bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit and lemon. A heart of purple ginger, along with osmanthus which blends seamlessly with elegant base notes of rare patchouli, vetiver, benzoin, vanilla and musk.

This product is RRP £92 and is available from Harrods and Space NK.

For lipstick-ready lips: Award winning Nutritive Lip Balm by Sisley

Sunday, March 28th, 2010

If this year’s cold weather has left your lips feeling dry, chapped and sore or if you are looking for a lip balm to keep your lips in perfect condition for your wedding day SISLEY NUTRITIVE LIP BALM is one of my personal favourite and kit box essentials.

This gorgeous lip balm instantly soothes chapped lips, nourishes and provides long lasting protection. Hydrated, lips are beautified and feel soft and plumped up.

This product has an easily absorbed rich texture that is shiny (but not sticky) and feels so comforting for the lips. You can apply this product as often as required.

Whenever I use this product on a bride, they always ask me what product it is and comment on how soft their lips feel. It is perfect to use under lipstick and even though it may not be the inexpensive lip balm on the market (RRP £35), you need to only use the tiniest amount and rather than just sitting on top of your lips, it really does treat them.

Sisley – Radiant Immediate Lift

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

 Radiant Immediate Lift is a luxurious skincare product from the prestigious French Cosmetics and skincare brand Sisley.

If your complexion looks tired, your facial features look tight, fine lines have appeared or your makeup does not hold, then this is the perfect product for you!

Radiant Immediate Lift is a quick and smart product that erases tiredness and re-tenses facial features in a flash, giving the skin an instant boost and ensuring perfect, long-lasting makeup.

When I meet a bride at her wedding makeup rehearsal a few weeks before her wedding, the comments I often hear are that she is tired from organising a wedding whilst working and a lack of sleep! This can often lead to the skin looking tired and de-hydrated. Radiant Immediate Lift is an amazing ultra-lightweight skincare product that instantly smoothes the skin’s surface to restore it’s radiance and luminosity.

When I applied this product to the skin, I was delighted with the results! This product is not greasy at all, the pearly gel has a fresh and silky texture which left my skin feeling fresh, luminous and gave the illusion of skin that was healthy and well rested. Perfect for daily use and especially on your wedding day (under your makeup), to give your skin a beautiful glow.
