If you want to shimmer at the festivals, why not make sure your glitter is biodegradable - good one, Primark Beauty! - or even completely free from plastic? (Great invention, @beautykitchen!) More on the blog. Link in bio👆🏼#biodegradableglitter #plasticfreeglitter
Sunday Mask Day, the you need an hour for clean, soothed, glowy skin and hairfree legs edition. Step 1. Cleanse with DHC’s cleansing oil. (I put the remants if the large bottle in a travel sized one.) Step 2. Peel with Nannic’s White Willow Bark Peel Mask. Step 3. Tackle redness, nourish and balance the sebum production with Nannic’s Terracotta Clay Mask. While that works its magic, IPL your legs with Philips’ Lumea Prestige. More in instastories. #franxsmd #sundaymasking #claymask #peelmask #cleansingoil #iplathome #lumeaprestige #presssamples
How’s your Saturday going? We are entertaining my parents this afternoon/evening. I baked them an upside down rhubarb cake with rhubarb from the garden. (I pushed it a bit too hard when turning it upside down so half of the cake is a bit squashed. Let’s say it looks rustic.) And flowers from the garden to brighten everything up. #weekendbaking #upsidedowncake #rhubarbcake #flowersfromthegarden
Yet another skincare empty! I have been using this Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Eye-Brightening Concentrate since spring. (One pump is enough for both eyes, I think. So a little goes a long way.) It has 10,5% of ascorbic acid - which is a high amount of the right type of vitamin C and scientifically proven to have anti-ageing benefits - and promises to brighten the eye area and diminish wrinkles and crows feet. I liked its light texture. It is packed with silicones, which meant concealer went over it like a dream. I do feel like the tiny wrinkles around my eyes have not become deeper and my dark circles have not become darker. Overall, I really liked this eye cream. You can use it on the upper eyelid too. I just wonder whether the vit C is still effective after using it for such a long time even though Kiehl’s found a way to stabilize it and it is packed in a brown pump bottle. #franxskincareempties #skincareempty #kiehlsdermatologistsolutions #kiehlspowerfulstrength #powerfulstrengthlinereducingeyebrighteningconcentrate #eyecream #presssample
In summer/On holiday I tend to skip the day cream and foundation and go for a tinted sunscreen instead. These new launches seem like really good ones. (Only one is fragrance free though.) And then there are the three products I have been using and love. What’s your favourite tinted sunscreen? More on these on my blog.

A whole load of make-up empties! Well, they’re not really empty, apart from the Chubby in the nude, but these products have passed their date of expiration. Unfortunately. Because I liked using them. The YSL All in one Glow Foundation aka an Instagram filter in a tube and Lancôme’s Skin Feels Good Skin Tint will be missed as they make your skin look all glowy and naturally pretty. Clinique’s Chubby foundation was handy on the go and to really cover redness. Loved the Dior and Maybelline concealer, too. And Sothys’ cream blush in autumn. On to the eyes. Second tube of Diorshow Iconic Overcurl, my favourite Dior mascara. I love all Lancôme liquid liners and this Grandiôse one was a very pretty blue. Essence’s liquid eyeshadow was a good budget buy. Make-up Forever’s Aqua XL Color Paint works as an eyeshadow base or simply on its own. And I adore YSL’s creamy eyeshadows that turn to powder on skin and do not budge. Will miss all of these but do not want to run the risk of a skin reaction because they have gone bad. #franxmakeupempties #makeupempties
