Red Lipstick Eater

I have used a lot during the days we were closed at home, more than makeup products, the skincare products.  Here, I will write to you about five products that I found really nice during this time, useful, hydrating, and with a quite natural texture. A Good Hydrating Cream The first one is a hydrating cream that I started using recently, named the Origins  ultra-hydrating energy-boosting cream. This cream was bought by me maybe one year ago and I started using it now. It was there waiting in my drawer. I was relieved when I read that most of the Origins products are vegetarian and vegan. This cream smells like oranges, it has caffeine and ginseng inside.  It hydrates the skin really well, it refreshes, too. It was 25 euros when I bought it I remember, so it is not super expensive for a medium budget. I like this cream a lot and suggest it, dry skinners, with only one condition: you might need to reuse it during the day. I am going through a period of the month where my skin is more

This week I have tried three masks, well actually, Belif was one of those that I tried before. I will start with Belif... Then I will talk about the Repertoire and Re-charge of Clarins. In the second part, I will be talking about three toners: Garnier Rose, Pixi Rose, and Yves Rocher's new toner. MASKS Belif acqua bomb mask was great. You can just apply it to your skin and then take the access. On the website, it says that this mask is good against dryness, dullness, and redness. It is great for dry skin. So I do suggest it, it did not cause any irritation on my skin. Moreover, it smells like lemon, a bit of chemical, too, I admit. However, in general, it does not cause great trouble. In Sephora it says it is 34 USD, to be honest, I have not bought the whole thing, I just had the sample. I will not buy the whole mask but I can still continue to use samples. taken from Sephora's website Belif acqua bomb mask  The second mask I tried was a sample of Repertoire wit

Belif Moisturising Bomb Sheet Mask Great mask, really happy with it. Super hydrating. It is refreshing. I did not use a hydrating cream afterward and the effect lasted really long. Suggest it! One thing I am not so happy with this mask is the smell, the smell is like lemon but also there is a chemical hint to it. If they can resolve this dilemma, then it would not only be much better but it would be perfect! Garnier Mask with Hyaluron Shot  This mask is amazing! So hydrating, made my skin softer. I can really not complain. Just a bit impatient to wait for 15 minutes but imagining that my skin would not react well I always wait for 10 or 12 minutes. Cause afterward I start to get bored. Great job Garnier! I suggest it. It seems that Beauty crew also gave it a lot of stars. Clinians Gold Mask  This mask was a bit disappointing, it was supposed to be with gold, but more than substance I felt a soft plastic against my skin. Do we really think about the environmen

In this post, I will briefly tell you which products I have finished and liked a lot. There is also a bonus of it: Giorgio Armani foundation (luminous silk foundation) that I had as a small sample from Sephora (as a gift). THREE MASKS FOR DRY SKIN Let's start with the masks, I have been using more masks recently. Two of these are about to finish and one of them is new. The first is the hydrating mask of Avene , it is called also soothing radiance mask. It is really hydrating. I left it on and it absorbs easily. A good one! The smell is similar to Avene creams.  AVENE HYDRATING MASK The second mask I tried was the Origins Apricot mask , which is a great one, too, but it is so sticky like the syrup of apricot. It also can be left on, but I had to get used to it since it was not totally absorbed by the skin. I would say it made a difference: felt that my face was brighter and more hydrated. Suggest it to the dry skinners!  ORIGINS APRICOT MASK - DRINK UP IN TEN M

Here in this blog, I have a really major ambition to give you all the natural tips on beauty. After having done major research on Italian, Turkish and English resources, I have come up with some detailed answers, and I will be giving links and references to the resources. This will be a long but sustainable blog, so bear with me! So let us start with Diego Dalla Palma : since this blog focusses on the dry skinners, first of all, I will write his suggestions for who has dry skin (the pages that I have translated from his book are 37, 38 and 39): 1. Clean your skin once or twice a day with a very oily soap; the ones that contain glycerin and that are transparent for instance. It is always preferable to have a soap that is not soap or creamy cleanser... 2. Coconut oil or almond oil is one of the best cleansers for the dry skin. 3. The tonic that is most adapted to the dry skin is the one that is non-alcoholic one. As an alternative, you can prepare camomile tea and use the camom

I tried Moisture surge overnight mask of Clinique , yesterday night, although I should have tried it before. It is okay, it hydrates the skin but leaves the pores open. In the morning I felt that my pores were quite larger compared to the night where I had used the mask. If it is a good thing or not I should ask the skincare experts but I think that compared to a hydrating cream, it does not have an extra benefit. Even if it did, would I have understood it with one use? I guess not. So I give six over ten to this product. Clinique moisture surge overnight mask

I do not know if it is because of the Clinique custom-repair serum or not today my skin was much better, today meaning 21st of December.  I can feel that after having used Clinique for almost 21days, my skin seems to be responding well, it is not dry, it is clean and it looks really shinier than usual. So I have to say that my general and overall experience has been positive. I used this serum yesterday night before going to bed. The next day my skin was quite hydrated and it looked quite tight. I have to use repeatedly to understand if it works better or not but I give nine over ten to this product and suggest it! Clinique smart custom-repair serum

This time I did not use the product of 18th of December so I cannot evaluate it, I will come back to that one later. Today I will evaluate this mousse cleanser of Clinique: mousse face wash.  In other words, rinse-off foaming cleanser. Was happy with it for two reasons: it cleans well and it does not harm the skin. But, again a big but, for dry skin it is a bit too much maybe, you know when your skin makes the sound of a surface when you touch it; so yes for dry skin it might be too much, so you might, in fact, prefer it if you have oily skin. Still a good product, I give 7,5 to it! RINSE OFF FOAMING CLEANSER MOUSSE

I was quite happy with this one yes yes yes! On 17th of December, Moisture Surge supercharged concentrate came out of the box of the advent calendar. I tried it twice or three times and each time it has really hydrated my skin. I am very very very happy with it. Suggest it to everyone, I give ten over ten to this product especially if you have dry skin.  Clinique Moisture Surge Hydrating Supercharged Concentrate

I am writing the day after I used this cream: moisturising cream of Clinique, it is called dramatically different moisturising cream . I used it at night and it seems to be hydrating still. I like it a lot! I think that it is a great cream. It kept my skin hydrated whole night and even in the morning. It does not have a heavy or unnatural smell. I might consider buying this cream in the future, as these are only small samples from 24 days of Clinique advent calendar. I give nine over ten to this cream! Dramatically different moisturizing cream of Clinique As we are on the fifteenth day of Clinique - 24 days, I am getting tired of writing and consumption AND consumption and writing but I hope that my comments on the products are useful for dry skinners.

My mom used to use tonic in order to make the skin cleaner and tighter. I remember whenever we used it, the cotton pad would be full of dirt from the pollution. This was almost 20 years ago and I cannot imagine the pollution now... I like the toners honestly. Just that I need to find something that does not dry the skin. I think that the clarifying lotion of Clarins is quite successful as it does not irritate the skin. It is gentle on the skin and it cleans the skin. I am not sure if my pores are tighter but I have to be honest that my skin was a bit dry the next day. I still can give eight to this product as it did not cause any disturbance on my skin. And my skin felt refreshed after the use. I would still not say, I want to have this product for sure! Maybe something milder would be better.

Dear Readers, This time I tried the cleanser of Clinique Mild liquid facial soap.   I used a similar product for almost two years: the extra mild version and I was quite happy with that one. In general, it is a very mild soap and it does not make even bubbles like normal soap. I have to say that I like the extra mild version and still, I felt that this normal (non-mild one) was maybe not too mild for my dry skin. So I give it eight over ten. Finally, I suggest it to those who have combination and lesser dry skin... Just have to say that since I have Clarins shea butter cleanser , I do not use any other product anymore... That can be a personal choice of course...

I have not much to say about this product , it is quite a good one but eye creams show their effect when they are used consistently. I have used it for two days and I think it reduces wrinkles but I am not so sure about the puffs. I guess a good sleep is better than anything if we think about it. All about eyes cream of Clinique I think that I will review it after constant usage... For now, I cannot give points to this product but if I really have to give, it would be eight over ten. Well, time will show!

To be honest, this was not a product that I had not tried before, I used in the past 74-hour hydrating cream of Clinique.  I agree that it hydrates for long hours, it does not have a smell that bothers you nor pleases you; then it is jell like... so the texture is very soft on the skin. I am not sure if it closes the pores if it tightens the pores ore not. But I have to say that it is a successful product. I still give 7 over 10. Because if you had read before my writing on the long history of hydrating creams , you can understand why I like some other creams more than Clinique moisture surge. Especially if you have dry skin, you might want to go back to this post as well: more hydration is needed. I still think this cream is good before you go on journeys and you feel that you need to be hydrated. Not bad, not super, it is kind of okay. I am sorry that I cannot promote it more than I should!

I have never understood why we use scrubs! For God's sake, what do we want from our skin? What is it that we cannot clean from our face? Is it related to thousands of years of guilt we cannot scrub off and rinse off? The jokes aside, I tried Clinique 7 day scrub cream , it was good, gentle on the skin, nice cleanser, it is definitely not harsh on the skin and it is even not letting the skin dry. Of course, I need to indicate here that I use a moisturiser after every treatment I apply on my face. So I would not understand even if it dried my skin, yet, I need to mention that I would definitely have understood if it had made my skin tense... With this crem scrub, no such thing occured. The smell is natural. I like that it does not seem like it has plastic micro balls inside... so yes I give nine over ten. Cause I am not a big fan of scrubs... So far so good Clinique, good job. I like professionalism of Clinique... only if they could be vegan and cruelty-free, THEN I WOULD

I have tried this one, Clinique Smart night , and was happy with it. It hydrates for the whole night and even in the morning, your skin is quite hydrated. Although it is a night cream, tried it also for the morning, I think that it is really good for dry skin. It kept my skin hydrated for the whole day as well. Did not use makeup on it though. You can take just a little bit from the cream and the amount is more than enough for whole your face! It has a dense texture. The only thing I do not like about Clinique products is that they smell like they are from the laboratory... in the sense that they smell too much like cosmetics. Basically, they do not smell like flowers, or natural herbs, or some kind of perfume. It is good, as it means they do not have so much perfume inside, which can have side effects for dry skin, but it is weird when they smell kind of, you know, like too much of a clinical product... Apart from that, all okay! Still, I give this product nine over ten. An

I was very much surprised by how functional and good this cleanser was. So it is Clinique take the day off make up remover...  This cleanser performed much better than I expected. First of all, it has taken all the makeup off. I had to try twice with a cotton pad but still, it was soft on the skin.  Second, it does not dry the skin.  Third, it leaves the skin hydrated and maybe even you do not need to use a toner.  Fourth, it is very gentle on the skin, it does not cause any rash or any kind of side effect.  I am amazed by it. I again give ten over ten to this product. Clinique Take the day off makeup remover passed the test for dry skinners, for sensitive eyes and tedious evaluators of products. Suggest it! ps. after I used this cleanser, I took shower and then my skin was extremely dry, but I do not know what happened in between, maybe the shampoo or the water or the temperature of the water was not good enough, could not be sure. So I will try this product once

So on the second day of the Clinique advent calendar, I opened the Pep-start eye cream.  It is a small tube but it has plenty. The smell is nice, it looks like a jell will come out of it but it is a creamy cream. I like it! I used it before I go to bed yesterday night, to be sure if it is good or not. It does not create miracles, to be honest. But it hydrates and also kind of stretches your skin, you can feel it when you put on this cream on your eye area... Liked the smell of it, too, light smell. To this product, I give ten over ten. And I am sure that if you have wrinkles around your eyes, you might want to give Pep-start eye cream a try... For now, I cannot say much, tomorrow I will use it again and will inform you more. It is better to give information after repeated usage. Wish you a nice night if you are on the side of Europe, nice morning if you are on the other side of the world! In each case, stay positive, stay cool, stay calm and balanced!

I could not feel the ocean. I will be very honest: 1) It dries the skin 2) It does not look smooth 3) Fills into the lines Could not feel the ocean. Cliomakeup gave 5.5 but I would give lower than that. Sorry, Kiko, I love you but I have to be honest with you. Being honest is a part of love. It is good to know this though:  KIKO MILANO does not carry out or order testing on animals, pursuant to the relative European laws.

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!
