KIKO Ocean feel: Challenge day five

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.

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!

Bellàpiere

As promised, today I tried the powder of Bellàpiere after BB cream, used just a bit of it. It has a great texture, it is soft, not heavy, does not dry the skin and it looks really good and natural. So I suggest it as much as I suggest Shiseido. I do not use it as a foundation, but I think that it is great to give some light, cover the imperfect parts and still look nice and natural. So yes I do agree that it is worth the money, and after you open it you can use it for 36 months! I think it can even go longer than that... This photo is a product of Bellapiere that I have not heard before, banana setting powder, it seems to be a good product... I just insert a photo here for you to see how the products look like... mine also looks similar in regard to packaging. Banana setting powder So now remains only three items in the challenge accepted  version. Have a nice weekend!

Happy with Shiseido Seven Colour Powder

In line with the blog post Challenge accepted , I tried today Shiseido seven colour powder.  Although there are different ways to use it I used the brightening version , mixing all the colours. So basically I did use it without makeup. I know what you think, you might think it is not the right way, but it was fine. 1) Shiseido seven colour powder does not dry the skin 2) It looks very nice and natural 3) Since I did not have makeup I cannot tell you how it would fit the rest but I think that it can be a day saver even... SUGGEST IT 100 PERCENT! We continue with the challenge tomorrow...

Disappointed with Vichy Mineral Blend Powder

I tried this powder, medium colour , and did it after I had hydrated my skin and put on some BB cream as well. However, did not like it at all. There are a few reasons for it. 1) It made my skin dry and even it made it look drier than usual 2) It did not look natural although it fit the makeup in regard to colouring. Bad news is this: It made my skin so tense that I had to clean whole my makeup immediately. This powder might be good for those who have very oily skin but dry skinners, not for you! Do not buy it and do not waste your money if you have dry skin. It will be a total disaster! We did not start the first day really with great hopes, but we will have other days of hope! Wait and see!
