Pure indulgence

For May and her mother

On Sunday, I am leaving for more than two weeks to a secret location for the recordings of Holland’s Next Top Model (as soon as I am allowed to tell, you will be the firstn to hear it) and I am making a huge request of my parents to ensure that everything at home keeps running smoothly.

So it was time for a pampering moment for my dearest mother. Together we dived into, of course, Twingo, in a very cozy little street in The Hague; the Van Hoytemastraat. Destination; the Pour Vous boutique where they really sell the very best brands and fragrances. Molecules? They have it. Amouage? It's there. The scents of Bond? No problem.

This Pour Vous also has its own Sisley corner with its own Sisley lady; Patricia. Knowledgeable, beautiful, and very sweet. Patricia had blocked a few hours for us and got to work. For both of us, she had thought of a ‘couture program’ because my skin and my mother's have of course different needs.

From total cleansing, through care and relaxation, we ended up with a perfectly made-up face. And Patricia shared her golden tips that I, you know me,, I’m not the meanest, will lovingly share with you again.

Put the Démaquillant Doux from Sisley in your fridge. If you have a ‘puffiness issue’, you take two pumps of the Démaquillant on a cotton pad and place a pad on each eye. Lie down quietly for five minutes, let the pads do their work and the puffiness is gone.

The Baume Efficace can also be stored in the fridge. You apply it as an eye mask and let it sit for a few minutes. Then dab away the excess mask with a tissue and you can be ‘en route’. It works against puffiness, but also against fluid retention under your eyes that you can sometimes have such trouble with.

The downside of a concealer is often that those it emphasizes wrinkles around your eyes. A tip from Patricia is to mix a little eye mask from Sisley with your concealer so that it becomes a bit more fluid. That also has a lifting effect.

I always feel like I need to have a lot of time for a mask and because of that, I never do it. But that is not necessary at all, the -masks are very soft and thin so you can just apply them under your foundation. SisleyIn the summer, you want a less powdery foundation. Ideally, mix a bit of the.

Now we are still softly dreaming about that amazing body cream and my mother is fantasizing about the Réducteur Rides Quotidien. When was Mother’s Day again?.
