      Di dalamnya berupa jar berbahan plastik tebal dan juga sudah include spatula kecil. Aku noticed ada perbedaan spatula di jar kedua ini, spalunya lebih pendek tapi in my opinion spatulanya ukurannya pas, jadi masih bisa disimpan di dalam tutup dengan baik, jadi ngga ribet dan takut kehilangan spatulanya. Very confinient menurutku spatula yang fit di tutup jar hehe.

Setelah Penggunaan Pada Kulit Berminyak

     

     Well, i should say i love this moisturizer! Sebagai pemilik kulit berminyak dan acne prone, aku jujur aja suka jarang pakai moisturizer, kecuali emang cocok banget buat kulitku hehe. Karena kalo salah-salah atau pakai moisturizer berlebihan yang ada kulit terasa makin oily dan jerawat suka langsung rame 🙁 Jadi emang aku cukup hati-hati juga dalam pemakaian moisturizer, benar-benar harus sesuai banget sama kebutuhan kulitku.

     Lucky me, kulit ku cocok menggunakan moisturizer 5x Ceramide ini! Karena ngga dipungkiri, walaupun oily, tapi kulit pun bisa kering lho, kering di sini maksudnya dehidrasi ya guyss. Jadi pas cocok pakai moisture gel Skintific ini aku belum banyak nyoba moisturizer lain. Walaupun pasti ada masanya aku ganti moisturizer karena suka coba-coba hehe, tapiii aku balik lagi nih pakai 5x ceramide moisturizer, karena lagi lebih cocok untuk kebutuhan kulitku sekarang.

     Sesuai namanya, tekstur moisturizer ini emang gel gitu, tapi masih cukup watery. Jadi mudah banget diaplikasikan ke keseluruhan kulit dan menyerap dengan cukup baik, tapi meninggalkan efek lembab yang cukup terasa. Walaupun begitu ngga berasa greasy atau lengket gitu lho, jadi kulit terasa bouncy dan segar. Teksturnya bikin aku suka banget sama pelembab ini karena tekstur pelembab gel cocok untuk kulit berminyak seperti kulit ku!

    Moisturizer ini juga diklaim sebagai 1 solusi gitu buat permasalahan skin barrier kaya jerawat, kulit kering, kulit kemerahan, dan kulit bertekstur, serta diklaim dapat menjaga kelembapan kulit hingga 24 jam tanpa bikin kulit berminyak. Kalau lembabnya ya ngga usah ditanya lagi sih, lembab banget dan bertahan cukup lama (biasanya aku pakai malam aja, tapi siangpun kulit tetap terasa bouncy). Kulit berminyaknya masih normal aja sih kaya biasa, tapi ngga memicu minyak berlebih. Kulit aku juga suka inflamasi gitu dan gatal, tapi cukup calm kalau setelah menggunakan moisturizer skintific ini. Secara keseluruhan juga kulit terasa lebih halus.

     Untuk jerawat, moisturizer ini juga membantu kulit disekitar jerawat yang mengering tetap lembab. Especially kalau pakai obat jerawat yang agak kencang biasanya kulit jadi rentan kering kan ya, dengan tambahan moisturizer ini kelembapan kulit jadi tetap terjaga dan ngga bikin kulit terasa perih juga kalau lagi ada jerawat pecah. 

moisturizer untuk kulit berminyak

     Terus juga pas aku pilek berat kemarin, hidungku sampai yang kering dan lecet gitu, tapi saat aku fokusin pakai ini tiap malam, kulitnya langsung waaayy better, dalam 3 hari aja udah lembab dan kulit sisik karena lecetnya hilang, jadi lembut lagi. Topnya adalah ini ngga bikin perih, karena kalau hidung lagi lecet, salah-salah malah berujung perih. Untungnya pelembab 5x ceramide ini bikin calming, lembab tapi ngga perih! So aku tetap suka banget sih sama moisturizer ini, ngga bikin muncul komedo putih-putih juga di hidung (kalau moisturizer terlalu berat atau ngga cocok aku suka muncul putih-putih gitu dipinggir hidung, tapi kalau ini aman). Loving it so far!

Setelah Penggunaan Pada Kulit Kering

     Nah, selain aku gunakan pada kulitku yang oily + acne prone, aku juga memakaikan skintific 5x ceramide ini untuk suamiku yang kulitnya cenderung kering bahkan suka ada flakes kulit keringnya gitu. Karena suamiku suka ngeluh kulitnya kelupas dan kering (especially bagian belakang kuping, rahang dan jidat), bahkan terkadang jadi terasa gatal. Jadi aku kepikiran buat nyobain moisturizer ini buat suami ku juga sekalian. 

      So far dia udah menggunakan moisturizer ini sekitaran 2 mingguan dan mostly aku pakaikan di malam hari aja (karena dia suka males gitu haha). Itu juga ada beberapa hari yang bolong-bolong, tapi walaupun begitu hasilnya jauh banget terlihat. Dia juga ngga sering complain lagi kalau gatal dibagian belakang kupingnya!

skintific 5x ceramide untuk kulit kering

     Bisa kalian lihat di foto awal kalau kulit suami aku emang kering dan nge-flakes gitu yaa. Nah dalam satu malam pemakaian aja udah keliatan tuh kulitnya jauh lebih moisturized, walaupun keliatan ya masih ada spot-spot keringnya (Day 1 – Day 2). As a test, besokkannya ngga aku pakai dulu selama 2 hari. Masih jauh lebih lembab dibanding hari pertama sebelum penggunaan skintific moisture gel ini, tapi spot kering masih terlihat (Day 4). Next nya aku pakaikan lagi hampir setiap malam, tapi ada beberapa malam juga yang bolong. Sebelum foto terakhir, itu ada sekitar 2 hari dia ngga pakai moisturizernya karena kelupaan. Tapi saat aku cek kulitnya masih terlihat lembab dan ngga ada flakes yang muncul!

hasil pemakaian skintific 5x ceramide barrier repair moisture gel

     Kalau dipegang juga jauh lebih lembut dan lembab, so far i guess it works quite nice ya untuk kulit kering yang tipenya seperti suami ku! Padahal dia makainya juga ngga rajin-rajin banget, tapi hasilnya jauh lebih baik dibanding sebelum pemakaian. Keliatan banget lembabnya beda dari guratan-guratan di lehernya, sebelumnya kering banget, sementara di Day 13 terlihat mulai plump dan halus. It works super nicely on both my oily skin and my husband’s dry skin!

REVIEW KESELURUHAN

    Pantes aja sering liat temen-temen di sosmed pada bilang cocok sampai udah pakai sekian jar, karena emang enak banget moisturizernya di kulit! Buat kulitku yang berminyak cocok dan buat kulit kering juga bagus! 

Pro:

+ mudah diratakan keseluruh wajah.

+ ngga bikin lengket atau greasy.

+ mudah menyerap.

+ aman untuk kulitku yang berminyak dan acne prone.

+ melembabkan banget!

+ cooling sensationnya enak banget terutama kalau kulitku lagi gatel dan sensitif.

+ kulit berasa lebih halus. 

+ calming.

+ ada spatulanya.

+ teksturnya gel, cocok buat kulitku.

+ cocok banget juga buat yang kulitnya kering kaya suami ku

+ ampuh buat melembabkan dry spot

+ tetap terjaga kelembapan kulit walaupun makainya ngga rutin

+ suamiku ngga complain, berarti teksturnya enak dikulit dia

Cons:

– belum ada yg cons sih di kulitku sampai saat ini

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

—

     Kalian harus coba sih! Apalagi yang punya permasalah kulit dehidrasi dan kering. Terus juga buat kalian yang berminyak+jerawatan kaya aku ini aman dan melembabkan banget. Dari wear test aku dan suami bisa dilihat kami sama-sama cocok pakai skintific 5x ceramide barrier moisture gel ini walaupun memiliki jenis kulit yang berbeda. Buat yang penasaran sama produk-produk SKINTIFIC lainnya bisa cek aja sosmednya yaa! Produknya juga bisa di beli DI SINI ya!

     Next skincare Skintific apa lagi nih yang harus aku cobain?? Apa cushionnya?? Anyway, sekian dulu reviewku kali ini, hope you guys find this article useful. See you guys on my next post!

Love,

Auzola

A Few Days in London

by Lina Clémence June 16, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


We popped to London last October to see one of my favourite humans, Fran Lebowitz. She was doing a speaking tour and I managed to get tickets for the Barbican, amazing venue and what a hilarious night. If you haven’t heard of Fran Lebowitz, you have to check her out, if you have a dry sense of humour you will love her.

Whilst we were up seeing Fran Lebowitz, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to have a city break and stayed 4 nights at the Hoxton Shepherds Bush, which you can read all about here, if you’re interested. We used it as a base to explore London, we haven’t been in the capital for almost 10 years, which is wild considering how often we used to visit. It had been so long that everything felt new and exciting, so much had changed whilst so much was also the same (if you know what I mean). We didn’t have the best weather, but we managed to dodge the rain and for me unpredictable weather means you can visit more cafés, pubs and shops. Am I right?

As we were based in Shepherds Bush we spent most mornings in the Notting Hill area, always love it around here, the properties are stunning and there are so many streets off the beaten track that are quieter and fun to explore. I always like to veer off the main drag and see what hidden gems I can find, and there are fewer crowds so you get some time to meander and take it all in. The pastel coloured houses in this area are just so cute, and I challenge anyone not to daydream about what it would be like to afford to live that kind of life, it would be wonderful.


We did stop by Spitalfields, which is always hectic but well worth a visit. There are so many wonderful food stalls and spots to get coffee. We had pad tai and a cheeky coffee from the pretty pink Grind van. We were there during half-term, so would like to go again on a quieter weekday to be able to try more of the vendors and really see what was on offer, it was quite crowded, but still a vibe.

We walked around this area for a while, going in some of the shops (my husband bought a lovely puffer jacket from the new Rains store) and we soaked up the atmosphere and rich history. There are so many historical buildings, alongside some very, very modern ones. I recognised so many places from my favourite, Pretty City London book.

Taking photos of classic and unusual cars is one of my favourite things to do, I love cars and wherever I am I seem to spot them. London had so many, lots of colourful and expensive cars, as well as lots of old classics too, I might have to do a whole post dedicated to them, but I have included a few of my faves in this post, the pink McLaren at St Pancras Station, the blue, grey and green Porsche Taycans and the cute mint green fiat 500. They can make a photo look so much more interesting.


One thing London has in abundance are pretty shop windows and facades with so much history and detail. I think the old style ones are beautiful and so interesting. Around every corner, there is so much to notice and take in, you could simply wander up and down the streets all day and never get bored or run out of places to see.

St Pancreas is such a beautiful landmark, the train station and the hotel and both stunning, also just over the road is Origins Coffee Shop (underneath the British Library) it’s small but if you manage to get a seat in the window it is ideally positioned for some serious people watching. The coffee is 10/10, so too is the matcha, and they offer a small but delicious section of cakes, cookies and treats.

 

Alongside all the car photos I took, I just couldn’t resist taking lots of pictures of all the cute Notting Hill houses, they are colourful and charming. Every single street in this neighbourhood is stunning and so well looked after, it is easy to see why it is such a popular destination not only for tourists but also to live. It has a village feel even though it is in a major city.


What part of London do you tend to stay in, explore? Let me know if you have any recommendations of places to see and your top places to eat / drink?

Flowers FLORA Exhibition 2025 Saatchi Gallery

by Lina Clémence June 16, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


FLOWERS – Flora In Contemporary Art & Culture is an exhibition currently running at the Saatchi Gallery and I thought it would be the perfect way to enjoy an afternoon as we step into Spring in London.

Flowers are part of our everyday lives, whether we’re welcoming a new life, mourning a loss, or celebrating love, they’re always there. We give them to our partners, family, and friends, displaying them at weddings, offering them as symbols of good luck or congratulations, and using them to spread joy and hope. It seems that every milestone in our lives is marked by flowers, each one a powerful symbol of meaning.

The exhibition focuses on flowers as inspiration in the art world, whether that is through the form of paint, photography, fashion, film or music, they are an intricate part of our being.

Scarlett Aqua Reset & Barrier Acne Peace Gel Moisturizer

Aku kira warna gel moisturizer ini warna-warni sesuai
variannya, ternyata warnanya bening gitu. Hehe. Dari ketiga varian Scarlett
Aqua Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer memiliki tekstur yang mirip, tekstur gel-watery based berwarna bening dan
sama-sama mudah menyerap. Tekstur gel yang akan segera meleleh ketika terkena
kulit, nyaman banget karena mudah menyerap dan dibaurkan pada kulit. Berbeda dengan
gel moisturizer yang kadang ada rasa lengket setelah menyerap, Scarlett Aqua
Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer tidak ada rasa lengket sama sekali.
Lembapnya pas dan bikin kulitku bouncy dan
kenyal!

Scarlett Aqua Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer

Teksturnya enak banget dikulit karena tidak terlalu effort
untuk meratakannya. Rasanya ada cooling sensation yang segar dan sangat cepat
menenangkan kulit yang bermasalah. Aku yakin banget semua jenis tipe kulit dari
kulit normal, berminyak, dan kering akan suka dengan teksturnya. Aku pribadi
jujur untuk penggunaan moisturizer pagi/siang hari aku lebih suka tekstur watery-gel yang seperti ini.

Scarlett Aqua Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer

Meskipun teksturnya mirip ternyata aroma ketiga varian ini
berbeda lho. Kalau diperhatikan aromanya lebih cenderung ke wewangian floral
yang soft. Enggak terlalu menganggu sih. So far, untuk aromanya aku suka karena
bikin rileks juga.

Kata siapa menggunakan moisturizer tidak nyaman? Aku punya
jenis kulit normal-combination to dry, jadi kadang agak susah nyari pelembap
yang cocok. Kadang cocok dengan ingredients nya namun kurang cocok dengan
teksturnya. Scarlett Aqua Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer pas banget dengan
tekstur water-gel yang cukup baik untuk melembapkan kulit. Efeknya setelah
dibaurkan pada kulit langsung meresap dan kurang lembap, tapi setelah 1-2 menit
menyerap pada kulit rasanya lembap dan kenyal. Gel Moisturizer ini tidak
lengket sama sekali.

Hasil Scarlett Aqua Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer

Kondisi kulitku saat ini sangat kering, Scarlett Aqua Reset
& Barrier Gel Moisturizer cukup bekerja baik. Kalau dilihat before afternya
kulitku jadi lembap dan garis-garis halus tersamarkan. Please take a note hasil bisa berbeda dari beberapa kulit
masing-masing orang.

Teksturnya yang cukup ringan, mudah meleleh ketika dibaurkan
kulit. Efek kelembapannya pas banget 
meskipun digunakan sendiri (single-use) tanpa tambahan rangkaian
skincare lain. Jujur aku pertama kali cobain ini langsung mikir, moisturizer
ini paling cocok digunakan pagi/siang hari karena ringan tanpa bikin wajahku
berminyak. Karena kulitku cenderung kering, di gunakan malam hari juga oke sih,
asalkan kita menggunakan tambahan cream dan essence dari Scarlett atau
favoritmu.

Berhubung akhir-akhir ini kulitku sedikit kering. Aku paling
suka varian Hydra Boost yang melembapkan kulit dan bikin kulitku kenyal. Varian
Hydra Boost paling aman untuk semua jenis kulit karena ingredients utamanya
adalah Panthenol dan Hyaluronic Acid yang cukup efektif menenangkan dan
melembapkan kulit kering. Yang aku rasakan kulit lembap dan skin barrier
semakin kuat. Kulitku berasa naik level!

Secara keseluruhan, Tiga produk baru Scarlett Aqua Reset
& Barrier Gel Moisturizer dengan penggabungan natural dan aktif ingredients
yang tepat untuk permasalahan kulit dari kulit kusam, kulit kering/dehydration,
dan berjerawat ataupun kemerahan hasilnya lebih maksimal. So, tidak hanya kulit
semakin sehat namun skin barrier to the
next level
!

Scarlett Aqua Reset & Barrier Gel Moisturizer exclusive
banget bisa didapatkan di Scarlett Official Store. Yuk, reset
kembali kulitmu to the next level!!

 

 

See you guys on my next post!

Thanks,

LED Light Therapy Face Mask Benefits : Myth busting, key information + FAQs answered.

by Lina Clémence June 15, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


Which is the best LED mask 2025AD – This is a sponsored post with Currentbody – all words and views are my own.

LED Light Therapy has become very popular in the last few years for targeting a number of skin and health concerns, however there is still many misconceptions surrounding LED technology and if it actually works. So I am going to try and give you the answers to the most frequently asked questions about light therapy, talk through the misconceptions and hopefully make it all a little easier to understand.

I have used LED light therapy masks for many years, I have used a few different brands and I now exclusively use Currentbody as I have found the best results from using their masks. I wholly trust their clinical research , science-backing and I think the results always speak for themselves.

Having said that, by no means am I saying it’s the only LED light therapy mask that will work for you – there are some other GREAT ones on the market, but you definitely do need to do your research into the brand, what clinical proof they have that their devices actually work, what wavelengths they use, and also I think it is VERY important to buy from a reputable brand. With the surge of LED popularity, there are some questionable devices currently on the market and you are honestly wasting your money on some of these. Let’s get into it!

Which is the best LED mask 2025

COMMON MYTHS AND MISCONCEPTIONS!

These are some of the most common questions and concerns I am asked about LED masks. 

‘Red light can cause melasma and make pigmentation worse’

There is no clinical data or research carried out to back any such claims and much of this is a misunderstanding of how LED light treats the skin over time and helps to improve skin tone and texture. It can really help fade marks and pigmentation on the skin and help with healing and scarring also.

‘The LED light can harm your eyes’

The LED lights used within the Currentbody masks are completely safe for your eyes, however they do provide eye inserts if you feel any discomfort from the brightness when you are using it. I personally do not use the inserts and now just use it as an excuse to have 10 minutes of shut-eye and relaxation. 

‘The LED light can burn your skin’

The Currenbody LED’s do NOT generate heat, so will not burn and is completely pain-free. There is no downtime and after-use you can simply apply your skincare and carry straight on with your day (or evening!).

‘Red Light therapy isn’t suitable for people with darker skin’

People with darker skin tones can safely use red light therapy. Melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour, does not block or reduce the effectiveness of red light therapy.

‘LED doesn’t penetrate the skin’

The Currentbody LED masks can penetrate up to 10mm into the skin. Different wavelengths of light penetrate at different depths, with deep near-infrared penetrating to the deepest layers. This is clinically proven and as you can see from my personal results in the photos below, it’s absolutely working.

‘These LED masks all do the same, why spend £300 when you can spend £30!’

Yeah…no.  I speak about this a little more in-depth below but in short – these are high-tech devices ; a lot of post-production testing is needed, clinical testing, and a lot of the cheaper devices on the market (I’ve seen them in supermarkets!) will do absolutely nothing to improve your skin. The wavelengths they are using are not going to penetrate the skin or do anything except make your face feel a little warm.

LED MASK SKIN BENEFITS : THE TRUTH.

Do they REALLY work? Are they just a fad?

Light therapy has been used for decades to treat and heal the skin. Light therapy was originally developed by NASA for healing wounds in space. in the 1990’s the US Navy Seals began using it and shortly after, aestheticians introduced it into their treatment rooms. LED light therapy is backed by clinical data that is will help skin repair, stimulate collagen, fade age spots, decrease inflammation and smooth the skin.

Top skin clinics  have been using LED light therapy for many years now for this reason and the results of light therapy are cumulative, so you need to have treatment frequently and be consistent. This is where LED at-home masks have stepped in : an affordable way to get clinic-like results. LED masks have just seen in a surge in popularity in recent years and quite rightly so. I have personally seen the results that you can get from using LED and I have shared my before and afters below. 

What results will you see from using an LED light therapy mask?

The key benefits that LED red light therapy will have for your skin is helping with scarring, acne, redness, This has all been clinically proven, over many years and many times. People will see varying results, of course and it does also depend on the condition on your skin in the first place. As I say every time I talk about using LED masks, you do need to be conscious of using a decent skincare routine alongside CONSISTENT use of the LED mask.

If you want to know all the in’s and out’s of how to use the mask / how often etc then do check out my post here which is all about the Currentbody Skin LED Light Therapy Mask Series 2. 

My personal results :

BLUE LIGHT VS RED LIGHT.

Do you need to use both blue and red light? Let’s quickly chat about it and why you may need one over the other or even both!..

Red Light Therapy 

This is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular function and promote healing and rejuvenation. Red light therapy will target redness and hyperpigmentation , improve skin texture, inflammation, acne scarring and fine lines. Everyone can use and benefit from red light therapy.

Blue Light Therapy

Blue light therapy gets absorbed by the cells on the skin’s surface, specifically targeting spot-causing bacteria. It’s a common misconception that Blue Light is good for everyone however  it might not be right for your skin if you do not have active acne. Extended use of Blue light therapy may cause: pigmentation, skin sensitivity and irritation.

The Currentbody blue light mask combines with red light therapy to also target redness and inflammation and healing scars which commonly go hand-in-hand with symptoms of acne.

NOT ALL LED MASKS ARE EQUAL, HERE IS WHY.

Accuracy of testing.

A lot of LED masks make certain claims of efficacy yet once the mask is actually tested, it often shows big variations  in the of the strength of LED bulbs and the actual true wavelengths it emits. This will cause uneven distribution of the light therapy so you may get very different results from one mask to the other – from the same brand! 

Currentbody are the ONLY LED device brand who own both their production and testing. The transparency of their Vertitace system is unmatched and you can check the results, the testing and efficacy of your very own Currentbody mask. Below you can see the Veritace production process from my card that came with my Currentbody Skin LED Neck & Décolletage Mask Series 2 ; every series 2 mask now has this. You simply tap your phone onto the unique card and it will take you directly to your personal mask and it will show you the testing it has been through and the all-important results and key information.

Placement of bulbs.

More does not mean better and the placement of the bulbs and the type of wavelength they emit is really important. LED bulbs emit a 60% ‘light spread’ so they will overlap. If there is too many bulbs on a mask this overstimulate and overheat the skin without improving the results you get. If there are too few LED bulbs you won’t get an optimum light overlap, so the results won’t be as good. 

Type of Red Light.

The type of red light is very important. For example when using red light, it is beneficial to also use near-infrared alongside it to boost the red light benefits. One to the other alone won’t give great results.

The Currentbody series 2 masks use THREE clinically proven wavelengths as opposed to 2 which most LED masks use :  these are red, near-infrared and  and deep near-infrared. The deep near-infrared have been positioned in the areas where we see the more intense signs of ageing. On the Series 2 face mask this is around the eye and mouth area. On the Series 2 Neck and Dec this is down the middle / chest area where we often see most crepiness and lines.

There are many amazing LED masks on the market, but please do your research, see true before and after’s and always buy from a reputable company. See if they have independent clinical trials and what the results show.  Do the digging and scratch below the surface. As a small side note : LED masks should not be cheap! The amount of science and development that should go into these devices reflects in the price. These are a true skin investment that should last you many years. You also want to choose a brand that have good customer service and aftercare if you so need.

which is the best LED mask 2025

CONSISTENCY IS KEY WITH LED!

I say this all the time – there is absolutely no point in spending hundreds of pounds on an LED mask and not using it consistently and properly and then being disappointed with the results. For LED light therapy to work, you need to be using it at least 5 times a week and to see good results, for at least 8 weeks. Alongside this, please consider a good, consistent skincare routine. If you aren’t looking after your skin and think by slapping an LED mask over the top will solve all your skin problems you are not going to get the results you want. Be realistic, take the time to use the device and also – take a photo in good lighting BEFORE you start using LED. sometimes you may think it’s not doing much but when you compare before and after images you can really see these improvements.

Zara Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette Review

by Lina Clémence June 15, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


Zara Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette Review: Imagine a fragrance that feels like a warm embrace on a chilly evening, a scent that wraps you in layers of sweetness, warmth, and sophistication. Zara’s Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette is exactly that—a perfume that celebrates the art of indulgence. With its rich, warm dessert-like aroma, this fragrance is perfect for those who love to make a statement with their scent.

Whether you’re heading to a cozy dinner date or simply want to feel luxurious on an ordinary day, Gourmand Addict promises to be your perfect companion. But does it live up to its name? In this detailed review, we’ll explore every facet of this fragrance, from its intoxicating scent profile to its performance on the skin. Let’s dive into the world of Gourmand Addict and discover what makes it so addictive.

About

According to Zara’s official website, Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette is a fragrance that “combines the sweetness of caramel with the intensity of vanilla and the freshness of mandarin orange.” It’s described as a warm, sensual, and addictive scent that’s perfect for those who love gourmand fragrances. The perfume comes in a 90 ml bottle, making it a generous addition to your fragrance collection.

The fragrance is part of Zara’s Gourmand line, which is known for its edible-inspired scents. It’s designed to evoke feelings of comfort, indulgence, and joy, making it a popular choice for everyday wear.

How to Use

Using Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette is simple and straightforward. Here’s how to make the most of this fragrance:

  1. Spray on Pulse Points: Apply the perfume to your wrists, neck, and behind the ears. These areas generate heat, which helps to diffuse the scent throughout the day.
  2. Layer for Intensity: If you want a more intense fragrance experience, pair it with other products from the Gourmand line, such as the body mist or lotion.
  3. Avoid Over-Application: A little goes a long way with this fragrance. Start with 1-2 sprays and add more if needed.
  4. Reapply as Needed: While the fragrance has decent staying power, you can reapply it throughout the day to keep the scent fresh.

Price

Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette is priced at:

  • USD: $29.90 (90 ml / 3.04 fl oz)
  • Euros: Approximately €25.90 (varies by region)
  • AED: Approximately 110 AED
  • INR: Approximately ₹2,500

The price may vary depending on promotions, discounts, or regional availability. Zara often offers discounts, so keep an eye out for deals!

My Experience

Packaging and First Impressions

The Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette comes in a sleek, minimalist bottle with a golden cap and a transparent glass body. The design is elegant yet understated, reflecting Zara’s signature style. The bottle feels sturdy and luxurious, and the spray nozzle dispenses the fragrance evenly. While the packaging is simple, it’s functional and travel-friendly, making it easy to carry in your bag.

Fragrance: A Sweet Symphony

The moment I sprayed Gourmand Addict, I was greeted with a burst of sweetness that felt like stepping into a patisserie. The fragrance is warm, inviting, and utterly indulgent. It’s the kind of scent that makes you feel instantly happy and comforted.

What Does Zara Gourmand Addict Smell Like?

Gourmand Addict is a quintessential gourmand fragrance, designed to evoke the aroma of delicious desserts. Here’s a breakdown of its scent profile:

  • Top Notes: The fragrance opens with the zesty freshness of mandarin orange, which adds a bright, citrusy touch to the sweetness.
  • Middle Notes: As the scent settles, the heart reveals the rich, creamy aroma of caramel. This is where the fragrance truly shines, offering a decadent, dessert-like experience.
  • Base Notes: The dry-down is warm and sensual, with the smooth, comforting scent of vanilla and a hint of musk in a powdery background.

The sillage (the trail the fragrance leaves) is moderate, making it noticeable without being overpowering. It’s perfect for close encounters and intimate settings. The lasting power is decent, with the scent lingering for about 4-6 hours on my skin. However, on clothes, it lasts much longer, sometimes even until the next day.

Texture and Application

The fragrance is light and airy, making it easy to apply and layer. It doesn’t feel heavy or cloying, which is a common issue with gourmand fragrances. The spray nozzle works smoothly, delivering just the right amount of product with each use.

Performance on Skin

On my skin, Gourmand Addict develops beautifully, with each layer of the scent unfolding gradually. The citrusy top notes give way to the creamy caramel, which then blends seamlessly into the warm vanilla base. The fragrance feels cozy and comforting, making it perfect for colder months or evening wear.

Results and Longevity

While the scent is delightful, its longevity could be better. On my skin, it lasts for about 4-6 hours, which is decent but not exceptional. However, on clothes, it performs much better, lasting well into the next day.

Ingredients Breakdown

While Zara doesn’t disclose the full list of ingredients, the key notes—mandarin orange, caramel, and vanilla—are clearly highlighted. These ingredients are carefully balanced to create a fragrance that’s sweet but not overwhelming, warm but not heavy.

Zara Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette Review MBF blog

Pros

Based on reviews from Zara’s website, Fragrantica, Amazon, and other platforms, here are the standout pros of Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette:

  1. Affordable Luxury: High-quality fragrance at an affordable price.
  2. Delicious Scent: Perfect for gourmand lovers, with its sweet, dessert-like aroma.
  3. Versatile: Suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
  4. Elegant Packaging: Simple yet sophisticated design.
  5. Moderate Sillage: Noticeable without being overpowering.
  6. Long-Lasting on Clothes: Stays fresh on fabrics for hours.

Cons

While the fragrance has many positives, there are a few downsides to consider:

  1. Average Longevity on Skin: Lasts only 4-6 hours on the skin.
  2. Not for Everyone: The sweetness may be too much for those who prefer fresh or floral scents.
  3. Limited Availability: Often out of stock due to high demand.

Advises

Here are some tips to make the most of Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette:

  1. Layer with Matching Products: Use the body mist or lotion from the Gourmand line to enhance the fragrance’s longevity.
  2. Apply to Clothes: Spraying it on your clothes can help the scent last longer.
  3. Use in Moderation: A little goes a long way, so avoid over-spraying.
  4. Store Properly: Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place to preserve the fragrance.

Rating

After considering all aspects, I would give Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette a 4 out of 5 stars. While the scent is delightful and the price is reasonable, the average longevity on the skin prevents it from being a perfect score.

Final Thoughts

Zara’s Gourmand Addict Eau de Toilette is a rich, sweet, indulgent fragrance that’s perfect for those who love gourmand scents. Its warm, dessert-like aroma is comforting and luxurious, making it a great choice for everyday wear or special occasions. While it may not last as long as some high-end perfumes, its affordability and delicious scent make it a worthy addition to your collection. So, if you’re looking for a fragrance that feels like a warm hug, Gourmand Addict might just be your new obsession.

Friday Treat : The Dress Five Ways

by Lina Clémence June 15, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


You know those heavy and heady sunny days where every single item of clothing feels too much on your skin? This dress – in five options – from H&M is the least amount of clothes you can decently wear (add bra and knickers as your own preference) and be seen in public. It’s this same dress that can take you to Tesco to stock up on ice as well as it can take you to the shore to dip your toes in the sea.

In a blend of 81% viscose and 19% polyamide, it’s going to catch any welcome wisp of a breeze and look gently floaty. The frills are dropped so the effect will be sleek and streamlined rather than puffy.

Personally, the blue option is my favourite – I think I might, if it’s not one of those stifling city days, wear a racer back white t-shirt underneath. Otherwise, I’ll just be flopping about in the garden with Dora seeking shade and drinking the coldest drink I can find.

For £27.99, in sizes XS to 4XL I feel like it’s an absolute snip – don’t forget if it’s too long you can fray the hem which would look great with flip flops and a bright orange/red polish on your toes. A wide brimmed hat, a pair of sunglasses and a glass of rose are the only accessories to consider. It’s HERE. I am wearing a size M (no bra and my yoga tracky bottoms underneath – reason 8,550 why I’m not a fashion influencer) – I’m 5ft 3 so you can see the length is fine and it’s adjustable at the straps – I think this dress can finish anywhere and still look ok. My bust size is a D and if I’d had more time I would have tried on the L as well for a bit more of a streamlined fall.

My Makeup Issues: March/April 2025 Empties

by Lina Clémence June 15, 2025
written by Lina Clémence


Welcome to another empties post with mini reiews! I didn’t have a ton of empties in March so I lumped them together with April’s. Let’s dive in! 

Cerave Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser (Removes Makeup) – This was by far one of my best finds back in 2023. The fact that it is easy to get (any drug store) and is reasonably priced is fantastic. This cleanser is very hydrating, gentle, does not play with my skin barrier and removes my makeup including eye makeup! Makes my skin so clean! I tend to use this only at night but I think you could use it in the morning too if you want. Already repurchased. This is easily in my Top 5 cleansers. 

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Vanilla Beige and Iced Coffee – I got a mini set of 4 of these last Fall during the Sephora sale. I bought them as I wanted to try a variety of scents and colours. The Iced Coffee one grew on me quickly and I would repurchase that scent no problem. The Vanilla Beige was ok. I really like Summer Fridays lip butter balms and although I wished they lasted longer on the lips, I think they are one of the best lip balms you can get on the market. I have already repurchased a regular sized tube in Birthday Cake and will be reviewing that one for you shortly. 

The Inkey List Supersolutions 10% Azelaic Acid Serum –
This product has been a lifesaver for my rosacea. I have already repurchased. Can’t live without it now. This is a
must have for anyone with rosacea and the beauty is you can layer it with other
serums. I highly recommend using it twice a day for full effectiveness. I am not sure how many of these I have gone through now but I will be buying it likely forever. 

Sol de Janeiro Rio Deo Refill in Brazilian Jasmine & Pink Dragonfruit – I quite like
this deodorant and have gone through a few of these already. I am starting to get confused with all of the scents. I think I like the original one the best. The refills never seem to sit right in the containers and the temporary lids are awful. All that being said, I do like this product and have repurchased. I would’nt say it is workout appropriate, you would need something stronger but
it’s great for day to day.

AOA Studio Super Soft PawPaw Wonder Blender – I don’t care what anyone says, these sponges are far inferior to the Beautyblender. I don’t find these to be as porous as the Beautyblender and therefore product tends to sit on top of the sponge and slide around more. You don’t get as good of a blend. Also, I find these dry weird and can get moldy after a bit which I never had happen with the Beautyblender. Since I bought a bag of 6 I will use them up but then it’s back to spending good money on Beautyblenders again and I am ok with that. 

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in Berry – I really enjoy a lot of these Laneige Lip Sleeping Masks and I have to say that the Berry scent is by far the best scent from their regular line. In general, I tend to prefer some of their limited edition scents. Already repurchased in a few other scents. 

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion – I bought this a long time ago online from the U.S. At the time, I couldn’t find it here in Canada. I was starting to get some dry patches on my hands in winter and this was recommended by a beauty influencer that I follow. It did seem to work well and I think I had two bottles of them and this was the second one. First one is long finished. I hadn’t used it in awhile. I noticed it was nearly empty so I decided recently to use it up. If this was readily available, I might repurchase, but I don’t think it is. I also think other creams have come onto the market in recent years that are better so I would likely buy those first. 

Aveeno
Restorative Skin Therapy Repairing Cream
– This was one of the best Aveeno
lotions that I have tried and let me tell you, they are not all created equal. I
really liked this cream and I will likely repurchase.

Caudalie
Hand & Nail Repairing Cream in The des Vignes (The Vines?)
– I got a set of
3 of these in a Holiday Set a year and a half ago. I have used up 2 of them so
far and am on my 3rd and final one. I really liked this hand cream
and I will be repurchasing once I have used up the last one I have. It’s great
to throw into your purse and I do find that it moisturizes both my nails and my
hands well. 

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix – First thing I have to mention is that the wand inside broke off very quickly and I had to use a Q-tip to get the product out. That was disappointing. This s a sample size though so the packaging was not going to be stellar. I think the product was nice enough. It was soothing on the eyes and I think I may have looked a bit more refreshed when I woke up after wearing it overnight. I didn’t really notice it doing anything for my dark circles in general though. It is an expensive product so not sure I will purchase it in the future, but I won’t rule it out. 

Makeup by Mario Moistureglow Plumping Lip Serum in Rosewood Glow – I got this as a Sephora birthday gift along with a lip liner from the same brand. I liked the colour, but I think it is more of a autumn shade so I wouldn’t rush to wear it in spring or summer. Even though this is a minty plumping product and not terribly tingly, I really detest plumpers and as a general rule, will not buy them. I don’t need them and I don’t care for the sensation. It was a decent product, but since it is a plumper, I will not buy it. The packing was awful and the inner tube would not retract if you turned it up too high. Since this was sample, I don’t know if the regular sized tube would be the same. 

Biossance Squalane + Marine Algae Eye Cream x2 – I thought I only had 1 of these sample jars, but somehow I had two and was using them simultaneously. Part of my confusion was that I have the same sized jar by the same company with face cream in it. Anyway, I managed to finish both of the eye creams recently. I didn’t find it was any better than any of the other eye creams I have used and it did didley squat for my dark circles. Some days, I even found it burned a little so I had to be careful to not place it too high up under my eye. Would not repurchase, but I love the glass jar and will be reusing it for travel with another product in it. 

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream– This is my ride or die. I’ve spoken about this at length so will spare you all. Already repurchased. 

I already have my May empties piling up so should be back soon with more mini reviews.
