The packaging is sleek with a green cap and contains 50 ml of products. The product itself, has a medium thick consistency and is dark grey. The mask is slightly fragranced but it's not offensive. Hi! It's been a while but I'm back now. I went to the "drugstore" today and saw the new releases of face masks from L'Oreal. They have three different face masks in their collection; Purity Mask, Glow Mask (this one) and Exfo Mask. The purity one is supposed to mattify the skin and it contains eucalyptus. The one I got, the glow mask, is supposed to leave a glow but at the same time remove excess sebum and dirt. Lastly, the exfo (- exfoliating) mask contains red algae, which is supposedly good for brightening the skin. I chose the glow mask because I have very dry skin in the fall/winter, and I really don't need any more dryness from the purity mask. The exfoliating mask sounded good but I haven't read any reviews on it yet.

I recently bought this nude eyeshadow palette from bangerhead.fi and wanted to show you what it looked like and some swatches of the eyeshadows. The eyeshadows are really buttery and pigmented, the mattes are so good. I really like the warm tone of this eyeshadow palette, the colors are also kind of unique, especially the yellow golden shade (Snobby). The dark brown/eggplant shadow with pink shimmer in it is just beautiful.
Ni vet inte hur glad jag blev då jag såg paketet från Banish Acne Scars i postlådan! Jag blev ganska nyligen kontaktad av deras chef och efter en överenskommelse skickade företaget till mig deras välkända Banish Acne Scars kit. Kitet består av en dermaroller, deras vitamin C-serum och pumpkin face mask. Jag är så exalterad och ett mer detaljerat inlägg kommer när jag har testat ut produkterna! You have no idea how happy I was when I saw the Banish Acne Scars package in my mailbox! I was recently contacted by their creator and manager and after that they sent me their famous Banish Acne Scars kit. In the kit, you'll get their dermaroller, vitamin C-serum and pumpkin face mask. I'm so excited to try them out and I'll write a more detailed review in a couple of months!
My newest beauty purchase is this soothing face mist from Yves Rocher. I bought it because I've been dying to try out a face mist to set my face with and they don't have MAC Fix + available where I live. it's sad i know. I saw that this face mist had glycerin as one of the main ingredients and that will make your foundation last a little bit longer and give you a slight sheen. Any face mist will also get rid of a powdery face and make it appear smoother and more natural. You're supposed to use this mist as a refreshing face mist for everyday use and I really like it for that purpose to. It's very refreshing and gives my skin a really nice dewy and glowy finish, which I love.
left - right: before and after using the Essence Make Me Brow Eyebrow Gel Min favorit skönhetsprodukt att använda den här veckan har varit Essence's Make Me Brow ögonbrynsgel. Den är helt fantastisk. Många människor har sagt att denna ögonbrynsgel är en dupe för Benefit's Gimme Brow och jag önskar att jag hade den så att jag kunde jämföra produkterna. Tyvärr är Benefit inte tillgänglig i Finland och därför har jag inte fått tag på den. Men jag tror verkligen att de är likadana. Som ni ser på borsten så finns det små fibrer på den och dessa fibrer förlänger och ger volym till dina ögonbryn. Jag älskar att använda denna ögonbrynsgel när jag har bråttom på morgonen och vill att mina ögonbryn ska se bra ut. My latest favorite makeup item has been Essence's Make Me Brow eyebrow gel. It's so good. Many people has said that it's a dupe for the Benefit Gimme Brow and I really wish I had that one to compare this one. Unfortunately, they don't sell Benefit products here in Finland, so I haven't got a chance to get it. I do think that they are very similar, at least from what I've seen and heard on the web.
As you can see on the tiny brush, there are fibers on it, and these fibrers extend the length of your brows and make them more voluminous. I love to use this eyebrow gel in the morning when I'm in a rush but still want my brows to look good. Känns så länge sedan jag hade fransk manikyr! Jag vet inte ens varför jag slutade med det från början eftersom naglarna ser så fräscha ut. Ett tips för dem som är nybörjare och vill måla fransk manikyr: använd tejp för att få den vita nageltippen rak. Se bara till att baslacket har torkat först för annars kommer tejpen att förstöra lacket. Feels like ages ago since I did a french manicure! Your nails look so fresh and "clean" with a french manicure. A tip for beginners: use scotch tape to get the sharp nail tip. But make sure the base coat has dried completely before you use the tape, you don't want the tape to remove the base coat.
L'Oreal True Match Foundation. This was my first foundation ever and it has a sentimental value, that's why I can't throw it away. But to be honest with you, I don't like it anymore. When I first got it I really liked it because I had nothing to compare it to, but now when I have this huge collection of foundations, I've realized that it's not for me. Bare in mind that this is the old formula so I'm not talking about the new one. (But I've heard that the new formula is amazing and so much better than the old one.) Why don't I like it? The consistency of the foundation is waayy to runny but the finish is powdery, heavy and really dry. You would think that the lightweight and runny consistency would give you a glowy, semi-matte, skin like finish, but that's not the case. It's just too heavy for me and it just sits like super dry powder on top of my skin. It clings on to my dry patches (which I have all over my face) and I simply hate it. Essence Longlasting Lipliner "Girl Next Door" (right swatch) and Lipliner "In The Nude" (left swatch). Don't get me wrong, I ADORE their lipliners but the colors of these are why I regret buying them. I did get the longlasting one as a christmas gift but when swatched, the color looks so much more vibrant and darker! It doesn't really show up on the swatch but in real life, it swatches beautifully. Here comes the part that I hate about this color: it looks horrible on my lips. I don't even have pigmented lips but somehow the lipliner looks ashy and just light grey on my lips. I don't want a nude, light grey color on my lips. Even though it swatches darker and more pink on my hand, it looks like a super light grey on my lips. I don't know what the problem is but it does look good on lighter complexions. The "In the nude" lipliner is from their regular line of wooden pencils. I love them but this color is also way too light for me. It swatches beautifully but it just doesn't show up on my lips. It's too light and ashy and makes my lips look like concealer lips. Same thing as the previous lipliner. Luckily, it's not grey. L.A. Girl Pro Conceal "Orange Corrector". So many youtubers have raved about this corrector and I decided one day to order it online. I don't even know where to start. This formula is truly creamy but it's too thick. But at the same time, it's too thin once blended. It doesn't cover anything, nor does it correct my spots, dark circles or dark mouth area. It honestly doesn't do anything for me. The thing I dislike the most about this corrector is that it doesn't set. It's funny, because every time I swatch it on my arms or hands, it dries and sets very quickly. But it doesn't do that on my face. It mixes with my foundation on top of it and turns it into an orange mess. Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara. I recently wrote a review about this mascara on my blog, and I still think it's a decent mascara. It's definitely not the best one out there but it's okay. After using it for a couple more weeks, I've realized that there's product buildup on the wand and it's so freaking thick. It's almost impossible for me to apply this mascara without a paper tissue to wipe off - not only the excess, but basically everything - from the wand. It just doesn't do it for me and I really regret that I didn't buy my favorite mascara instead. So this was my "Products I Regret Buying"-post! Please don't take it too personally, not all products work for everyone and that's not going to change anytime soon. These were just some products that were not necessarily bad, but just not good enough and I really regret buying them because I don't use them. Do you have any products you regret buying?
När jag såg mitt lilla paket från eastendcosmetics.co.uk på mitt sminkbord idag blev jag så glad. Jag beställde ganska nyligen tre sminkprodukter därifrån: två highlighters och ett solpuder. Påminner inte solpudret om Benefit's Hoola bronzer? Färgen är liite mörkare än Benefit's men annars är förpackningen nästan identisk. Solpudret är otroligt mjukt, krämigt och lätt att "blanda". Färgen är också perfekt för min hudton. Ett plus är att solpudret är helt matt. Det enda jag inte tycker om med pudret är att eftersom det är så väldigt mjukt så smular det lite när man rör det. Men på ansiktet gör det ingen skillnad. Dessa två highlighters från Constance Carroll, "Shimmer Glimmer Shimmering Powder", är så fina! Min favorit är helt klart 2 Gold Shimmer eftersom den är guld och inte för mörk eller för ljus. Om du tycker om en intensiv highlight, skaffa dig denna! Det ser inte heller alls glittrigt på huden vilket jag är glad över. Den ljusare och mer naturliga versionen (Nude shimmer) är inte lika intensiv och består av endast en rad med skimmer. Resten av raderna är matta puder. Jag var kanske mest exalterad inför denna när jag beställde dem, men det visade sig sedan vara att jag var mest besviken på den. Jag säger inte att den är en dålig highlighter, den är bara inte lika fin som jag trodde den skulle vara. Skimmer raden är väldigt smuligt och "chalky", lite torr också. Inte alls lika mjuk och slät som Gold Shimmer. Men den ser bra ut på huden och passar för vardagligt bruk. I was so happy when I saw my little package from eastendcosmetics.co.uk on my vanity today. I recently ordered three makeup products from the website: two highlighters and a bronzer. Doesn't the bronzer remind you of Benefit's Hoola bronzer? The color is a tad darker than the Benefit one but besides from that it looks almost identical. The bronzer is really creamy, soft and easy to blend. The color is perfect for me because it actually shows up on my skin. The bronzer is completely matte. It does swatch a little bit powdery and that's probably because of its softness.
These two highlighters from Constance Carroll, "Shimmer Glimmer Shimmering Powders", are so nice! My favorite is definitely 2 Gold Shimmer because it's gold and not too dark or light. If you like an intense highlight, get this one! It doesn't look glittery on the skin and swatches beautifully. The lighter and more natural highlighter (Nude shimmer) is not as intense and has only one shimmer strip. The other strips are matte. I was the most excited about this one when I was ordering the products, but it turned out to be the one I was the most disappointed with. It's not a bad highlighter but it's just not as pretty as I thought it would be. The shimmery strip is really chalky and kind of dry. It's not as soft as the gold one. But I think it looks good on the skin and it'll will be fine for everyday use. Jag skrev om denna after shave från Nivea i ett tidigare inlägg och nu har testat den som sminkbas. Vad tycker jag om den? Den är helt enkelt fantastisk. Jag var lite rädd för att förvärra min akne med den tredje ingrediensen men det gick bra. Som tur var. Min hy kommer inte alls överens med silikonbaserade primers och jag får alltid finnar där jag har lagt silikonprimern men jag fick inga finnar av denna after shave balm. Doften är ganska stark och manlig, men jag tycker om den. Doften försvinner dock efter några sekunder så jag skulle inte oroa mig för mycket över att huden skulle bli irriterad. I wrote about this after shave balm from Nivea in a previous blog post and I've finally tried it out as a primer. What do I think about it? It's so good. I was a little bit hesitant to use it at first because of the third ingredient that can cause/worsen acne. But my skin survived it. My skin doesn't get along with silicone-based primers and I always get pimples on the places where I've applied the silicone primer. Luckily, I didn't get any breakouts after using this after shave balm. The scent is pretty strong and manly, but I like it. The scent goes away after a few seconds so I wouldn't really worry about it irritating the skin. Som ni kan se så är konsistensen väldigt tunn, lite gel-aktig, mjölkig och lätt att sprida ut på hyn. Lite av produkten räcker väldigt långt. Du behöver lite för att täcka hela ansiktet. Det är meningen att man ska sprida ut krämen och sedan fortsätta smörja den på hyn ända tills ansiktet börjar kännas lite stickigt. Den stickiga känslan kommer från ingrediensen glycerin som ska sticka fast din foundation på hyn. Låter lite konstigt men det är så denna sminkbas fungerar. Din hy kommer att kännas otroligt slät och mjuk. Den bästa delen med denna primer? Den håller min feta hy under styr. Jag skämtar inte, eftersom den innehåller Witch Hazel som är känd för att kontrollera olja, så är denna fantastisk för fet hy. Men jag har sett människor med torr hy använda denna bas och de har också älskat den. SAMMANFATTNINGEN AV RECENSIONEN: Positivt:
Negativt:
>> ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎ / ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎ Finns att köpa i nästan alla affärer för ca 8€. As you probably can see, the consistency is very thin, gel-ish, milky and very easy to apply on the skin. A little goes a long way! You only need a tiny amount to cover your entire face. You're supposed to apply the balm/cream on the face and then rub it into the skin until it gets tacky. The tacky feeling comes from the ingredient glycerin which is going to make your foundation stick to the face. It sounds a little bit weird but this primer works. Your skin will feel soo smooth and soft afterwards. The best part about this primer? It controls my incredibly oily skin. I'm not kidding, it contains Witch Hazel which is known to control oil production and that's why it's so good for oily skin. But I've seen people with dry skin use this as a makeup primer and they've also loved it.
