Challenge Accepted: Which face powder gives more power?

So from tomorrow on I will try different face powders and will write to you every day, at the end of the day, what I think about them. The ones I have are as such: 1) Vichy Mineral Blend - Medium  2) Shiseido Poudre Lumiere Seven Colours  3) BelláPiere Mineral Foundation Ivory 4) Bobby Brown Nude Finish Illuminating Powder  5) Kiko Ocean Feel Loose Powder Transparent  6) Couvrance: Avène Poudres Mosaïque s (This I have for a long time and hope it is not gone bad!) So I will try these every day from Wednesday (20th of November 2019) on and will tell you the results! My criteria would be: Do they make the skin dry? Do they keep the skin hydrated?  Do they last long? Do they look natural? Do they fit well with makeup?  What are the best and worst qualities of these brands? I will tell you one by one...  Let the adventure begin. I will start the adventure on Wednesday, 20th of November...  And will try not to stay under the rain!!!!!!!

Who wants to stick (around)? Nobody!

Dear Readers, This one is about roll-ons and stick-roll-on(s) you got it right. Have long been a smelly cat myself, like Phoebe from How I met your mother would say ... It might be related to what we eat, how often we do sports, genetical etc. But still, some people need more deodorants than others. I will give you a couple of suggestions, two are okay and two are wonderful! Let's start with the "okay" ones. So the first one is  Green Natural Brezza Marina  which is really quite nice without alcohol, paraben, SLES and aluminium. I tried it a couple of times but in long days of summer, it does not suffice if you are a smelly cat type! It is made in Italy and you can find it in pharmacies. The second one is Soft and Gentle without aluminium again: it has a nice smell, a bit of lavender I would guess (the purple one). You should allow it to try before dressing. It does not contain alcohol either.  This one is made in Poland. One of my favourite ones is Clarin

Belif: A brand that surprised me!

So, okay, I am a consumerist. Otherwise, I would not have done this blog, right? How do you know I am a consumerist? -I am caught by advertisements -I go out to buy something and buy something that I do not need -I always buy things before they finish -I am attracted to all the new things that come out... brands, trends, fashion, etc. Yes, so that is how I discovered Belif . Just bought a small sample where there was hydration cream, eye cream, a mask, and a serum altogether. They were quite small. Hence, I took them with me when I had to travel for one month. Still, remember that it was a bit expensive but wanted to try it. I did not regret it, except for one thing that I will tell you soon. It is good! It is really good, just do not like the smell. It smells to chemical but it works. Well, I want to know more about the ingredients of Belif. So the ones that I used were these: so there is this serum  Hungarian Water Essence  so there is this moisturiser Acqua Bomb t

HYDRATING CREAMS AND A LONG HISTORY OF EXPERIENCE: LET’S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DRY SKIN

Avène Optimale From the age of 19 till the age of 30 almost I used  Avene Hydrance Optimale   hydrating cream ( Hydrance OPTIMALE Légère ) .  It was suggested by a skin doctor who was a friend of my mother. I am thankful to her up to this day. I was using a little bit of it applying it to the whole of my face day and night, and it was enough for a long while. At the age of 30 or so I started to notice some changes on my skin, it can be even the age of 29, but something has changed. Hence, Avene Optimale was not enough, so I had to try so many different products after that. Clarins Daily Energizer Cream Although it is a very good cream and it keeps the skin quite hydrated, hydration does not last long and it has a very cosmetic smell, especially after having used Avene it is felt even more. Although I can suggest it to someone with less dry skin or someone with oily skin maybe… from my point of view,  Clarins  daily energizer did not work. Bes
