Magic mushrooms: the secret behind Menard Embellir

Like your anti-ageing skincare Japanese, super-luxe, and packed full of the goodness of mushrooms? If so, you should investigate the Embellir range from Menard with the quickness! The line harnesses the power of red and black Reishi mushrooms to repair the damage caused by free radicals and UV rays and to enhance cellular vitality, in order to restore a youthful radiance to the skin and ward off the signs of aging.

Swit swoo.

I've been trying the 'Washing' cleanser, which purports to do away with all make-up and impurities without stripping skin of moisture; in fact the blurb on the website says that it "leaves the skin moist and supple for hours". It foams to a lovely creamy lather which feels divine and does make easy work of removing make-up and daily grime, but by Jaysis don't make the mistake of letting it anywhere near your eye area!

In conjunction with the cleanser, I've also been giving Menard's foaming net yoke a whirl and it is a fantastic little thing; the idea is that you need only use a teeny tiny amount of product to achieve a rich lather because the perforations in the netting do all the work for you. Eco-chic and purse-friendly? Me likey!

And you don't have to travel to Tokyo to get your mitts on Menard products - they can be got right here on the oul' sod in Arnotts.
