Coming Soon and Previews | Declaré Series

Hey everyone!

Welcome to the very last post in the week long Declaré series. You can look over my previous posts here if you are new to my blog!

Declaré will be launching some new products and sets for the Summer so I wanted to finish the series with a couple of gems to look forward to.
Thank you so much for reading over the last week and I wish the team at Declaré the best of luck with their future market presence in Ireland. As I mentioned in the first post, the company is family owned and they really put their all into developing premium luxury products for us all to enjoy. I am so happy I rediscovered the brand and have learned so much my self over the last couple of days. As a woman with sensitive skin, Thank You Declaré for making my life that little bit easier!

Let's get into it shall we?

Pro Youthing

This product won a SPA Diamond Award 2013. The award was based on the scientific research around preventative measures to protect younger skin,
 Pro Youthing is aimed at all ages but specifically useful for 25-30+ years as a modern anti ageing cream. 
It basically protects individual cells so that they can repair themselves without any hassle. You know how the older you get the less your skin wants to play ball? Like losing elasticity.. Well it helps to slow that part down.

What's in it?
Cell Protection 
(Magnolia Extract, Juvinity, Phyto stem cells and Ectoine )
Smooths wrinkles, Nourishes skin and makes more supple
SRC Complex
Vitamin E
Macadamia Oil

No retail price yet in Ireland but definitely one to watch...!





HydroBoost Duo Care Fluid

This is so cool! The fluid is separated within the bottle into two sides. Serum on one side, cream on the other. With all the best from the ocean in between. 

Sea water, Algae, SRC Complex are some key Ingredients.



I wont go into any more details but ask your stockist for launch dates and prices as this will be launched very soon! 




Mens

Declaré have a great range of men's products available right now from shaving to aftershave, moisture care, anti-wrinkle care, body care and fragrances.

These products were made with men in mind so have more active ingredients to allow the products to permeate the skin. 
As we all know the Irish man has recently awoken from a long hibernation and we are now living amongst the most fashion and health concious species around.. 
Long gone are the days of not cleaning under finger nails as it was a sign of weakness! We now have men asking for perms! So why not encourage your man to invest in some skin care. 

Gift sets will be launched in May in time for Fathers Day... (You didn't hear that from me!)


Sun Sensitive | Declaré Series

Sun Sensitive | Sun Care for sensitive skin

Hey everyone!

This post is the one that I have been the most excited to write! Not just because it is putting me in the mood for Summer but because It is the first product I ever used by Declaré a number of years ago!

Declaré really know what they are talking about when it comes to Sun care as it was their original market in the 90's when they launched. They have developed the range even further since and now have a number of products in the range.

Instead of me sitting here waffling all about how much I love X Y and Z I will keep this post basic and show you the products and some pictures.
The sun care range will start retailing at €25.95 and will be confirmed by the distributor soon!
Here are the stockists for Declaré nationwide so you can keep an eye out for these beauties.!!!


See you next time for the last in the series

Eye Contour Perfect Eye Fluid | Declaré Series

Eye Contour | Perfect Eye Fluid


Perfect Eye Fluid
Hey everyone!

Welcome to Day 5 of the Declaré series.
I hope that you have been enjoying the posts so far and hopefully learned something cool along the way?
As you will have previously seen Declaré have such a diverse range of products to suit all skin types. By Sunday I will have only scratched the surface of what this amazing brand has to offer. I am loving their products more as the days go on but today I want to focus a little on the eyes.

During the consultation we discussed caring for my eyes. I am constantly drained and tired. I also inherited under eye bags from my father (Cheers for that Andrew)!
The most you will ever get me to do is put some concealer on when I am having a particularly bad day.
However there are a number of ways in which you can make your eyes appear brighter and fresher without having to put make up on. It just involves a little TLC and some Perfect Eye Fluid ;-)

The Perfect Eye Fluid comes in a roller ball tube that is hypo-allergenic and self cleaning. Retails at €29.95 for 15ml. The formula will not break down your make up so you can use the Eye Fluid when ever you like, not just the morning/night time routine.

These Eye fluids have been knocking about for a while through a number of various brands, all offering similar achievable effects like reducing signs of ageing, fatigue and wrinkles.

Declaré have the ace up their sleeve with the award wining SRC Complex. This adds nourishment to the under eye area, reduces fine lines and wrinkles almost immediately and helps get rid of under eye bags and puffiness.

I tried the fluid over my make up during the consultation. I felt the skin around my eyes tighten immediately and I really did feel fresh and ready for the day. I really like this fluid and hope you will too!

See you next time

Caviar Perfection Body Butter | Declaré Series

Caviar Perfection Body Butter



Hey everyone!

Welcome to Day 4 of the Declaré series. To catch up on previous posts click here and meet me back here when your up to speed!


Naturally being a beauty lover I am like a magpie for shiny pretty gold things. I can catch even the tiniest minutest things glittering in a distance and I am drawn to it.. That is pretty much what happened when I seen this beauty on the shelf.

I opened the jar and was hit with a beautiful sweet and musky scent similar to the serum. Both products contain Sacharride so that may be the link.

I tested some of the cream and I swear I could see the change in my skin instantly. I have these goose pimples on my arms that disappeared as the cream was massaged onto the skin! That impressed an already very impressed me!

So what's in this potion you ask? Well I have been  looking up the ingredients and I can tell you that there is some caviar extract (obvs), some silk extract, Saccharide, Vitamin E and some anti wrinkle complex.

Like most of the ranges this is suitable for all skin types and is massaged into clean skin by your servant while you relax on your chez lounge !!! You'll be eating grapes next! LOL :)

The Caviar Perfection Body Butter comes in 200ml jar as shown above and retails for €75. A little on the higher end for me but after seeing the proof in the pudding I can't resist!

Sure Oscar Wilde himself once said "I can resist anything except temptation".....

I will leave you with that thought,  See you tomorrow!

Soft Cleansing Gentle Cleansing Powder | Declare Series

Soft Cleansing | Gentle Cleansing Powder 



Hey everyone!

Day 3 already! If you want to catch up then click here for links.

So far I have introduced the brand and talked about Stress Balance Anti Irritation Serum.
Today I want to talk about a product I have not yet tried but definitely one for the shopping list.

I hadn't come across cleansing powders before now but I love the idea of them.  I rarely use cleansers as about a year ago I bought my Nima Mitt (Check out the review :P) and don't see the need to use one unless I need to remove heavy eye make up.

Declaré's cleansing powder is very popular with Irish clients and retails at €24.50 for 90g however a little goes a long way. There is no soap in this product and it has a neutral ph so it wont mess about with your skin's levels. Also suitable for all skin types.

Elke demonstrated to us to mix a small amount of powder with warm water to produce a foam. Massage the foam to desired areas of face and then rinse with warm water,

Another way to use this powder is to massage into skin using a powder brush for that extra special pampering session and then remove with warm water! How luxurious does that sound?


Once I get around to purchasing the powder I will do a full review and let you know how I get on. Have you tried any powder cleansers before? What are your thoughts on c;leansers in general?

See you tomorrow for Day 4 of the series!

Stress Balance Anti Irritation Serum | Declaré Series

Stress Balance | Anti Irritation Serum

Hey everyone


Welcome back to Day 2 of my week long Declaré series. If you missed yesterday post click here to catch up,


Today will be a little about the Stress Balance range and my favourite product from that line.


When Elka tested my skin she was able to see dryness in areas on my face and décolletage.
Dryness and redness are commonly found when your body is stressed or when your skin encounters the likes of pollution, weather changes, air conditioning or central heating..
We all know I have had enough stress to age me by 20 years with Stephen's illness so I was not surprised to hear Elka talk about this.

It was recommended I start using an Anti Irritation Serum. Elka called this a firefighter for redness! :D

This serum helps reduce the visible signs of redness and fatigue quickly. Behind the scenes it stabilises skin's protection barrier by refilling lost water way beneath the skin. It is also suitable for all skin types.
Key properties include Declaré's award wining SRC complex, Hyaluronic acid and plant extracts.

The serum comes in a beautiful 50 ml glass bottle with a clever twist able lid and retails at E59.50 . A dropper dispenses the serum onto the hand. You use this after cleansing and before moisturising morning and evening. Another good thing is you can bring it on the plane if travelling....!! Yay for me as I have been back and forward to Scotland alot recently!

There is a lovely scent from the serum as with all the products in the range. I got a hint of like sweet perfume but rest assured if there was anything to irritate the skin I would know by now..
It glides onto your skin and it soaks right in. I like how it is not oily and doesn't leave any residue on skin.

I have been using the serum for the last few days and I have actually noticed a small difference with the redness and my skin sure feels plumper, hydrated and smooth so I'm happy with that for now!
I would definitely recommend this serum and I will be repurchasing.



Come back tomorrow for the next instalment in the Declaré series,

Declaré - An Introduction to the brand | Declaré Series

A sensitive skin care range for all

Hey everyone

Last week I got the opportunity to attend a media and press day for Swiss skin care brand Declaré.
They are by no means a new brand (They've been knocking about since 1979) or new to the Irish market (A new distributor KD Cosmetics is running the show).
I was surprised that I hadn't heard of the skin care range before now. However I am familiar with their sun care range - not that it's needed in Ireland. :D)

Declaré is a leading luxury skin care brand, available in 40 countries and specialises in sensitive skin care. They were the first company to exclusively formulate sensitive skin products back in the late seventies. They are hugely into scientific R&D and have won awards for creating innovative products. Not too dissimilar to the likes of Lancome who also invest a huge amount of time and money into research.

Declaré have all their products seperated into different areas to make the consumers life easier when searching for a solution to their problem area. See below!

Facial Care (E:g If you have allergies you know you can be sure that anything the skin is normally allergic to wont be found in the range).
Hydro Balance
Vital Balance
ProYouthing
Age Control
Caviar Perfection
Pure Balance
Allergy Balance
Definite White
Soft Cleansing
Eye Contour

Stress Balance

Mens 

Professional Assortment

Sun Sensitive

Body Care


Below are just a few reasons why I really like themI'll also throw in some pictures of the event for the craic and by the end you should be up to speed. 
Come back tomorrow (and the rest of the week) as I will be telling you about my favourites from the huge range available.

The whole sensitive skin thing


I have sensitive skin. I have suffered with contact dermatitis for years and break into a rash when certain chemicals come near me. I really struggle to find a decent hard working hand cream. For example, The Neutrogena one makes my hands unbearably itchy and I refuse to walk around with a tub of aqueous cream. It's just so unfair!
This brand is what I have been searching for. Really. 


Affordable luxury


I don't know how many times I have gone to a luxury brand to repurchase gifts and almost died when I heard the price so I was expecting to hear similar Euro signs thrown around when we asked the important question "How much is this all going to cost me"? I was pleasantly surprised at the answer.. Imagine that? A 400ml bottle of cleanser for under €20! Higher price points at €50 mark. Happy days.



Keeping it in the family


I just love the fact the this brand is loved and owned by a family. The founder Mr Karl Troll is still hugely involved with the company. The daughter Barbara Troll who I was lucky enough to meet at the event is such a gorgeous and friendly woman that I couldn't help but instantly like her.
The company have won Spa Diamond awards for innovation in both 2013 and 2014.
Also the passion they have for the brand is so clear. They truly are product and skin care experts.

Barbara's colleague Elka performed a skin test on the day using this nifty gadget that magnified the image by 50 times to see if there was any sign of dryness or stress. The test showed that I had some dryness but as a whole my skin was thankfully even so no wrinkles just yet...
From that Elka recommended some products that I have been trying out for the last few days. I will give my verdict during the week. :)

Declaré in Ireland are super exclusive just now and available in select pharmacies nationwide so check the stockist list for the closest store to you.

Thanks for reading and if you enjoy this series then let me know so I do something like this again soon.

Now for some pictures
































*Disclaimer* I was not paid to write this post and as usual all opinions are my own. I am just delighted to have found the range and wanted to share with you all. 
I was gifted some products at the event that I will write about in later posts.
