Sampar Line Up Box Coffret Anti-Rides
People often ask me: “What’s a good skincare out there? What should I get that’s good? Well, the Sampar skincare is one brand that comes to my mind. You can’t go wrong with Sampar. Perfect for the holiday season and for those of you who like to try products in small bottles first, the Sampar Line Up Box Coffret Anti-Rides, $59, could be a great start.
The Sampar Skin Quenching Mist is one of the best face mists I know and my favorite. The Ultra Hydrating Fluid and the Nocturnal Line Mask are extremely hydrating, smell really clean and are also in Marta’s top picks list.
With Sampar Line Up Box Coffret Anti-Rides Sampar has created a solution for dehydrated, rough and fatigued skin in the form of a breakthrough, intensive, anti-aging and recuperating night mask: Nocturnal Line Mask. It is an exclusive anti-aging nocturnal treatment that increases the presence of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Presented together in an exclusive coffret with Sampar’s Skin Quenching Mist and Ultra Hydrating Fluid, these three products compliment each other for revitalized and beautiful skin.

Sampar Lift Me Up Bust Cream, $78: utilzes a combination of natural firming agents including wheat proteins, kigelia and horse chestnut extracts as well as nourishing oils and vitamins to restore firmness and density to the skin of the bust.
Face Mist: Top Picks
I know I would sound a bit high maintenance if I tell you that I’m addicted to a face mist. When do I use it? Well, my favorite time to spray a face mist is right after shower before I apply anything else on my face. It feels so invigorating and I’m addicted to that feeling. Perfect for the day after a big night party. I also love to use a face mist when I travel, after a long and tiring flight. Just a reminder: I’m not an esthetician, or a makeup artist and my opinion is just mine, very amature I should say.
Here is Marta’s face mist top picks:
1. AmorePacific Moisture Bound Skin Energy Hydration Delivery System, $35 at sephora.com

I would like to share with you some of my favorite toners for this week:
SAMPAR Skin Quenching Mist rose & geranium: An alcohol-free spray-on toner which you can spray morning and night to face, neck and eyes.

Kiehl’s Rare Earth Pore Refining Tonic with Amazonian White Clay: You need to shake the bottle to let the white clay mix well. The Amazonian White Clay works wonders to refine my pores and get rid of shine and oil.

All About The Eyes: Talika, SAMPAR & Orlane
A French friend of mine called me the other a Francophile. In translation it’s basically a person who has a strong interest in, or admiration for French culture. Hey, I learn everyday, and this one I’m adding to my vocabulary at once. What I know for sure is that I’m a person with a strong interest and love for French skincare!
I would like to share with you my list of French skincare lines that I absolutely love for my skin in general, and particularly my under eye. I believe there are some things in life that you need to invest, like good shoes, and a good eye cream!
Here it is, Marta’s favorite eye creams or eye treatments, oo la la..Eye Dream by Talika and Eye Therapy Patch by Talika. SAMPAR Eye Rule peptide & adenosine under eye cream. And, Orlane Absolute Radiance Lightbox or Orlane éclat absolu Lightbox.
Eye Dream by Talika ($55): Apply at night under eye, (I cheat and I also apply during the day, works & feels amazing, shu…). During sleep, the delicate skin around your eyes loses up to 50% of its moisture and is most biologically receptive to external hydration and nourishing ingredients. Eye Dream by Talika can help in keeping you under eye very nourished, hydrated, and refreshed. I love using Eye Dream after a long day of work (blogging that is:) or a big night out. It immediately revives my tired eyes.
You might also like Eye Therapy Patch by Talika ($62): This patch is a pleasant, effective, natural and comfortable solution for combating wrinkles, circles and under-eye puffiness.

SAMPAR Eye Rule peptide & adenosine under eye cream ($78): Celebrity fans: Famous celebrity makeup artist, Matin, used it on Julianne Moore and Claire Danes. Jessica Szohr from Gossip Girls is also a fan.
