Want to know what’s in Marta’s shower? So many products I love these days, so little time to blog, lol. But here is a sneak peak to my shower and to some of my favorite face cleansers these days. As you can tell it’s very challenging for me to take a shower lately, because I have so many decision to make as soon as I wake up. It goes like this: “Umm…which face cleanser should I use today?” lol.
CHANEL MOUSSE EXFOLIANTE PURETÉ Exfoliating Cleansing Foam Purity + Anti-Pollution: It’s very creamy, it exfoliates, and gentle. Like with any face cleansers, avoid the delicate eye area.
Philosophy Purity Made Simple:Very gentle and refreshing cleanser. One of the best creamy cleansers I’ve ever tried.
Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Pore Daily Cleanser:If you like that fresh clean feeling after you wash your face, then you would love this Kiehl’s cleanser. I’m hooked:)

Jennifer Lopez graces the cover of InStyle September 2009 cover, which also happens to be their 15 anniversary special issue.
I absolutely love Jennifer’s makeup look and hairstyle on this cover. She can have her hair pulled up tight to her scalp and still look good. Another celebrity I can think of who can pull off this hairstyle effortlessly is Natalie Portman.
Here is how to get Jeniffer Lopez’s inspired red lips on the cover of InStyle Magazine September 2009:

Estee Lauder Double Wear Lipstick in Stay Scarlet 10, $22

In Marta’s Makeup Bag:
Dior Capture Totale Multi-Perfection Concentrate for wrinkles, density and brightness: I apply this serum right after shower, before my day cream, and it feels amazing. It immediately sooths and hydrates my skin. It is light and not greasy. Absorbs easily and quickly into skin. It is a bit pricey, at $135, but good investment for your skin!
How does Dior Capture Totale Multi-PerfectionConcentrate Serum actually looks like? It’s a sheer light pink serum, and smells clean, soft and not overpowering.

The Zoe Report: Chanel Intermezzo Nail Polish
I totally admire Rachel Zoe. I know, another celebrity. But, I love her infectious passion for her work. It’s the way to live life, love what you do. Rachel is the quintessential example of that. A true inspiration!
I receive The Zoe Report though my email, and I must admit that I’m always very curios to find out what are Rachel’s latest style & fashion picks. Here is one: Chanel Intermezzo Nail Polish, $23. I love white as my nail polish. It’s a nice break from all the other dark colors, such as: red, black, purple. And it looks very clean, understated, yet very polished.
