What does Napoleon and I have in common? Apart of the obvious fact the we are not really tall of course. Well we are both deeply obsessed with the Aqua Mirabilis, a strong cure made of 18 distilled plants. Napoleon because it kept him healthy and handsome, and me … well because it is the main ingredient of Roger&Gallet’s new line: the Aura Mirabilis – and you guys know how taken I am with this brand.

 

FACTS ABOUT AQUA MIRABILIS

– Was created more than 300 years ago by monks as a natural remedy – then the recipe of this Aqua was kept secret
– In 1727  this formula was officially patented and described as a “marvelous antidote against an infinite number of sicknesses and all sorts of venoms” – Aqua Mirabilis becomes Eau de Cologne
– Royals such as Napoleon I, his sister Pauline, Josephine de Beauharnais or Victoria Queen of England to name only a few were using it without moderation.

 

FACTS ABOUT AURA MIRABILIS

– This new line consists of four exclusive products: a Cleansing Mask, a Beauty Vinegar, a Double Extract and a Legendary Cream
– Roger&Gallet considers itself as a heir of the Aqua Mirabilis and uses the same process of distilled plants in it’s line
– The Cleansing Mask is my absolute favorite: it can be applied on the face as a regular mask to detoxify the skin OR used as a Cleansing Gel. I’m personally using it to remove makeup and it’s not only work great, but also leaves my skin soft and healthy-looking
– The Double Extract is the sweetheart of the line (an also my boyfriend’s favorite). This product is a concentrate of natural oils and helps the skin to recover its protective cell-layer. The most exciting about it is probably the pump dispenser that only gives a little dose (the right dose) of liquid.
– It was at the end of the XVIII century that vinegars started being used for skin care – it was believed that they purified and refreshed it. The Beauty Vinegar by R&G is inspired by this ancient ritual and helps the skin to eliminate dead cells and shed the pores.
– Essential in a beauty routine, the Legendary Cream is the ultimate step of the Aura Mirabilis Ritual: it soothes the skin and reduce the appearance of stains and spots. + it smells heavenly

 

I discovered these newbies at the beginning of July, and due to a press embargo I had to keep it secret until today. It was hard job keeping these pretty bottles away from social medias during all these weeks, but it also gave me a deeper wish of trying them all “in-depth”. This line is available in pharmacies and some selected stores from today – and this is not the only good news …
