Bobby Brown: The super transparent powder

As promised I tried today Bobby Brown  finishing powder. I will be very brief. 1) It is quite transparent with some light 2) Could not see it well on my face, perfect transparency 3) It did not dry my skin... So I would say in this case I suggest it, a good one, good consistency. Unfortunately Bobby Brown is not cruelty-free... Neither Shiseido... But Bellàpiere is, so it is your choice at the end of the day, but just keep in mind that those brands that sell in China do not have to obey the laws it seems, and it is very common that most of the products sell there. For now, that is it... since our best 24 days with Clinique will start soon. I have also learnt that Clinique is not cruelty-free either, however, now that it is purchased, will try the products and inform you on how they are good or bad or neutral on the dry and sensitive skin. Have a good Sunday!

Why do I write this blog?

I think that I need to make clear a couple of things about this blog. There are a couple of reasons why I am writing this blog. One is for sure interest in cosmetics and natural-looking and good looking self-care. The second major reason why I write a blog is that I have dry skin since I am 19 years old.

I really want to be honest about these things and also want to share the good suggestions with you, especially for those who have dry skin, my recommendations would be plenty. In the future, I want

The first time I learnt about the BB creams, I was quite uneducated about them. I had no idea why there was such a cream, what it worked for and how it was different from the foundations, fondo tinta, and fond de teint. They are lighter than fond de teint, they are not as sticky as fond de teint and they are more creamy and hydrating in a way... well, depends on which foundations you use, too. I will tell you my first two favourites and then will suggest two other very very good ones. DIOR HYDRA LIFE BB CREAM: GOOD COVERAGE So the first one is this one, you all probably know about it: Dior Hydra Life BB cream . It is such a nice one. It looks very natural and thin on the skin. That is what I look for! It hydrates. Well, I also use sometimes hydrating cream beneath. I chose the colour beige lumière and it fits me really well. The smell is nice but I have to say that it is a bit like the cosmetical smell, something a bit chemical is sensed in it. But no bother... I love it and hav
