It's not necessary feel the snails moving on your face to make your skin brighter and compact.

NEW DESIGNERS:CHRIS GELINAS

Chris Gelinas is a womenswear designer. He was born in Canada but he based in New York.
Gelinas graduated with a design degree from Parsons School of Design. He refined his technical skills at some of the industry’s most acclaimed fashion houses including Marc Jacobs, Proenza Schouler, Balenciaga, and as first assistant to Olivier Theyskens at Theyskens’ Theory.
Gelinas is dedicated to a movement that supports local industry, creating and producing much of his collection in New York with the highest level of skill and craftsmanship. Chris Gelinas rooted in American sportswear but with a focus on construction, finishing and innovative textiles — has been completely self-funded. The designer’s first presentation — which featured sporty separates in techno fabrics, such as a neoprene skirt overlaid with organza — was pulled together in five days for under $2,000. That collection not only won him the Peroni Young Designer Award, but it also attracted an influential fan base.

SOCIALITITE (yesterday and today): SLIM KEITH-POPPY DELEVINGNE

Nancy "Slim" Keith,  was a New York socialite and fashion icon during the 1940s and 1960s, exemplifying the American jet set. She and her friend Babe Paley were the thinly veiled inspiration for characters in Truman Capote's novel Answered Prayers. Introduced into Hollywood society by actor William Powell at age seventeen, she soon met William Randolph Hearst and was well on her way: While married to director Howard Hawks, she “discovered” a young Lauren Bacall on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar. Keith is an evergreen style icon. She held her own, opting for a long, lean silhouette: sporty, easy clothes that accented her lithe figure and delicate features that she could still move in.

Poppy Angela Delevingne is an English model and socialite.
Delevingne was born in London, one of three daughters of property developer Charles Delevingne and personal shopper Pandora Delevingne (née Stevens) and the granddaughter of Sir Jocelyn Stevens.
She has featured in campaigns for the likes of Burberry and Louis Vuitton, and her personal style amalgamates high-end with high-street. Poppy is a muse and friend of Matthew Williamson and she's young ambassador of the British Fashion Council and brand Ambassador for Chanel, Poppy Delevigne conquered on the field the title of “socialite”, that’s how she became one of the most popular it girls of the moment.
In May 2014 she married James Cook.

TESTED BY ME

My Cli:four products just tested.

OP BIOREPAIR PLUS: Cell protection from oxidative stress with Vitamin C and E
Food supplement of vitamins, ∂-lipoic acid, glutathione and cucumis melo extract. I am very excited about this supplement, I take one sachet a day as soon as I awake for 28 days at each change of season. OP Biorepair plus can be particularly useful to prepare sun exposure. Nutritional supplement with vitamin C and E, particularly indicated to contrast free radicals involved in cell aging prenomena, Niacine wich helps to mantain skin healt and functionality, Glutathion, Lipoic Acid, Cucumis Melo extract which in synergy improve cell antioxidant systems function.
It costs €43,00 but worth them.

PHYTIC ACID CREAM: don't use this cream during the summer, I have just finished using it a month ago, it contains 8% glycolic acid and 2% phytic acid, it is recommended to apply a sunscreen daily when using products that contain Alpha Hydroxy acids, but I prefer to use this cream during the winter for not risk to find spots on my skin. This cream costs 58,00€, and itis specifically designed to refine rough skin texture and correct areas of uneven pigmentation for a smoother, more uniform complexion.To be honest, it does not remove the spots, but has a brightening effect.

YELLOW PEEL BALM:  costs 90€, then we expect miracles, but it is not so.
Yellow peel balm should be part of the skin rejuvenation program for lip augmentation. It contains retinoic acid to peel off dead skin and increase collagen production. It also stimulates blood flow so lips appear fuller and redder. I was not able to bear dry lips during treatment.
One side contains the Yellow Lip Peel, an intensely conditioning and refining anti-aging treatment while the other side contains the nourishing lip balm for moisturizing phase.

ADVANCED BRUISE PREVENTION FORMULA:Developed to deal with the problems of torn, bruised and thinning skin, SkinRenu Advanced Bruise Prevention Formula moisturises whilst repairing the skin. Containing a host of vital ingredients that boost the skin's natural ability to repair itself, SkinRenu Advanced Bruise Prevention Formula improves skin tone and increases collagen and elastin production. The natural ageing process paired with damage from the sun can leave skin fragile and more prone to thinning and bruising. SkinRenu Advanced Bruise Prevention Formula helps to build up skin strength to prevent tearing and bruising.
149,00€ for only 175 ml, a bit 'expensive for the results it gives!

HAPPY VINTAGE TO YOU

Vicoletto Chiaia 3 / B- is the address of  Happy Vintage to you, a new vintage shop in Naples, a small room dominated by a chandelier / bicycle recently opened by Alessandro de Gais where the clothes are chosen with care and taste, many 80's and 90's, but also something more dated. There are also interesting sunglasses, bags and a few pair of shoes designed by Alessandro himself a bit 'of years ago, so perfectly in vintage style.
A few steps away, in Via Chiaia 209  Happy Vintage to you is also for men.
