MONOI DE TAHITI – BEST PRODUCTS

Monoi de Tahiti – Best Products is the second part of my home spa mini-series, as it ties in beautifully with the self-care and relaxation theme. Also, I have tested at home all the products presented in this review, so let me share with you everything that I have discovered.

Monoi de Tahiti – What is it?

Firstly, Monoi de Tahiti is a perfumed oil made by infusing coconut oil with Tahitian gardenias. So it has the benefits of coconut oil, alongside the unique perfume of Tahitian gardenia, also known as tiaré flower. The word “monoï” means “scented oil“.

Secondly, Monoi de Tahiti is my current favorite scent. I have discovered it this year while searching for a birthday present for myself. I knew I wanted a body milk and shower gel set from La Maison du Savon de Marseilles. But I went there to buy some products with donkey milk. However, I was lucky enough to discover the Monoi de Tahiti products, and I immediately fell in love with them.

Today I will compare the SEPHORA Monoi Shower Gel and Monoi Body Milk with the Maison du Savon de Marseilles Monoi Shower Gel and Monoi Body Milk.

AFFORDABLE MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE

Welcome to my affordable morning skincare routine! This is an updated version of my previous article, day time skincare routine. I have experimented with other products in the meantime, so now I can proudly say that I have found what works best for my skin type.

MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE

First of all, the three main steps of my morning skincare routine are the same: cleanser, serum, and moisturizer. However, the products have changed.

All the skincare items mentioned in this video are from BebeTei. This is my favorite place for health and beauty shopping, because they have a wide variety of products, and the prices are super affordable. All it takes is one visit once every 2-3 months, and you will have everything you need for your skincare routine.

I have a normal skin type, slightly oily on my nose. I do not have any sensitivity, acne problems, or scarring, so I have rarely experienced issues with skincare products.

NIGHT TIME SKINCARE ROUTINE

I love taking great care of my skin! But I also can’t wait to get in bed after a long and exhausting day. Which is why I try to make my night time skincare routine as fast as possible – usually around 10 minutes.

This is by no means an unusual night time beauty routine, the basic steps are the same. My skin looks pretty damn good (food and water also play an important role here), so I thought I’d share with you the (great) products that I have discovered and that work for me.

MIDNIGHT RECOVERY CONCENTRATE

logo_khl_large

I have purchased this product from the Kiehl’s store in Afi Palace Cotroceni, in Bucharest. I was looking for a night-time serum for my updated skincare routine. So Midnight Recovery Concentrate was the first recommendation that I have found online. It is one of Kiehl’s best-selling products, so I decided to give it a try.

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate

After discussing with the shopping assistant, I went for the mini version (15ml), to test the product. There was also a full-size version which has 30ml. The price for the mini version is 99 RON (25,96 USD), while the price for the full-size version is 190 RON (52 USD).

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate comes in a small bottle with a glass dropper. This is a huge plus because you can easily control the amount of product you apply to your skin. It has a subtle lavender smell and it absorbs quickly into the skin. It is a transparent oil with a fluid consistency. Moreover, the serum does not make the skin look oily at all. So far so good.
