Review | With Time - Isabel Minhós Martins e Madalena Matoso

Title: With Time
Author: Isabel Minhós Martins
Illustrator: Madalena Matoso
Publisher: Planeta tangerina
Pages: 48
ISBN: 9789898145604
P.V.P.: 12,90€

Synopsis:
We have all noticed it: time keeps ticking, and ticking, and ticking...
And we keep going along with it, running through everything and anything.
Time changes us. It changes things around us. It transforms everything.
With time, we understand this.


My Opinion:
Time does not stop! Time is always running and running and running... And has it happens, he leaves impressions, memories and souvenirs. And it's about this that this book talks about: the effects of time running on us and on the world around us. 
Without a linear text or a main character, with this book we can learn that, with time, «what it's hard, becomes easy», «the watch hands returs to the same position», «the skin on our hans, becomes drier and wrinkled», «the fruit, if we don't eat her, it rots»...
Without recipients, without age, with a simple text and amazing illustrations, this book is perfect to be read in family or by those who (regardless there age) love a good picture book.

Review | Garnier moisture rescue refreshing gel-cream




The brand says: Over time, an active lifestyle and environmental factors can damage skin's natural protective barrier, causing it to lose moisture faster than ever. Moister Rescue Refreshing Gel-Cream is right for you if you want long-lasting hydratation. Results: 
- Instantly: skin looks and feels supple, smooth. Stays hydrated for 24 hours.
- In 1 hour: skin's moisture barrier prevent dryness.
- With Regular Use: continuously moisturized, skin is hydrated and looks healthier.

Quantity: 50g 

My opinion: This was the second time that I used a moisturizer of garnier, and like the first time, I'm very disappointed with it. When I applied the moisturizer in my face, I felt a burning all over it (the same happen with the first moisturizer). That burning last at least for five minutes, and that was enough to get a redness all over my face. In the box says that this moisturizer can be applied on sensitive skins, but If I were you I would not believe in that. About hydration, I didn't feel anything: my skin just looked red and oily. I had to apply another moisturizer to recover the hydration of my skin. I'm really disappointed with this product. 

Classification: 1/5
