24 Days of Clinique

Image
In December, I will be opening one box from the Adventskalender of Clinique ...  To be honest, I wanted to buy the one from Kiehl's... but it was finished already in all the shops in Italy. So I got this one from Clinique (please see below). I also like Clinique a lot, used the hydration surge cream before. Used also the all about eyes roll-on serum . Love the lipstick with a fuchsia colour, I think it is called chubby stick intense . Then for the sensitive skin, it has a cleanser that is really great: Clinique facial soap for sensitive skin . So happy with that one, too. So we will see at the end of 2019, how this thing with the advent calendar will work. This is the photo from www.zalando.it Every day from 1st of December till 24th of December, I will share with you a photo, make a review and tell the pros and cons of the product, and give you a lot of information on these little samples coming from the calendar. Looking forward to it! Hope you will enjoy my reviews, too!

My favourite brushes for daily use

Image
Well, I know what you will say if I say "I do not wear makeup every day". I really do not. Especially in November, I feel too depressed to wear makeup. But when I do, I have three to four brushes that I use and will introduce them to you now with great pleasure, cause they are good to me and I am good to them (I did not mean to personify them this much, nothing is more important than trees, animals and persons). Okay having said that let us start with the fact that I have a leaning towards KIKO brushes, yes, they are good, yes, they are professional, and yes they do look aesthetic. I have three brushes from KIKO, and then one from Bodyshop, and one from Bellàpiere. Then there is another one Kabuki teint 47, but do not remember when and how I got that one. Maybe it was a present. Let's shoot. The best and the most practical eye shadow brush ever, one brush but have two functions: to spread and to specify. You shoot two birds with one stone (and hope you never do that)

My Best BB Cream(s) Forever (?) Dior discontinued !

Image
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

SUCH A LOVELY ONE THIS BENEFIT MAJORETTE  One of the best blushes I have ever used was the creamy one from Benefit Majorette , and the colour was perfect it was somewhere in between red and pink and orange. So it is quite good-looking for the white and yellow skins. However, its expiry date was quite soon so I had to get rid of it. I could not, I know, I still save it, cause it is so cute! The packaging and presentation of Benefit Majorette are really incredible.  SHISEIDO KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR THE CHEEKS Weeeeellll, keeping it for a long while and loving it: Shiseidoblush . The one I had was exactly the one in the link. A stewardess told me that this was one of the best blushes and she was right! I admit although it was expiring in 18 months or so, I used it for almost for three years. But used it so much less than expected that I could not really finish it, though halved it. Love it!

Oh that mascara adventure!

I used many mascaras till this day but there are ones that I want to introduce to you, that I really like and still use up to this day... For some reason, I could not put any photos of the mascaras here in my blog, but I will post the photos later on; so you will need to read a lot of words and description, I apologise for that. The first one is a colourful one, it is purple. It is Yves Saint Laurent purple mascara that I have used for long years... this one was my favourite for many years and used it even on a daily basis. With green eyes, the purple goes really well. And it is quite a wet mascara but after a while, it becomes really normal as consistency and then the wetness does not bother you anymore. I quit it after a while cause I wanted to use natural products. Still, it is good to try this one if you like the colour purple. The second mascara I really liked was a vegan one, black, normal, daily use... and if you have sensitive eyes it is really a perfect one. It never m

Foot-works: what works and what does not?

Not only having sensitive and dry skin but having dry heels, such lucky genes! There is though a solution to that for sure. You'd better take care of your feet which carry your whole weight whole day, that let you discover the world, that allow you to wear beautiful shoes, boots and slippers! Well, to cut the long story short, there might also be natural treatments to dry heels, and will look for them for you. However, before that, I would really like to use some of the knowledge I have about a couple of products.  Let's start with the creams for the feet. There are four suggestions on my side... I will tell you which one worked as much as I expected it to work.  First one is Kiko intensive foot cream . This cream is good for daily use. I use it before I go to bed, and wear my socks afterwards. I expect that at night the cream does all the work. Thought that it would not be efficient but it is quite good. However, I was using it with other creams so could not obser

Sprays and Mists for Sensitive Skin

Image
Hello Again, Once more I have four suggestions for sprays. They are all different, they have different functions, but they are all good for sensitive and dry skin. The one I like the most is the last one of Clarins "refresh" . It smells like flowers, roses and lavender. I really liked it a lot. It has a function of hydrating a lot, and I mostly use it before I go to bed sometimes even without putting on the night cream. My number one is this! The second one I liked a lot but it has lost its smell after six months was Kiko spray... ( Green me hydrating face mist ). This one is supernatural, it smells like grass, its consistency is almost white and I think it functions in hydrating the skin. The third one I suggest to you is the one I finished already and bought a new package as stock in my cosmetics shop, in our little house. So basically, this one is one of the best known from Avene , the spray with minerals for dry skin... Acqua Termale Avenè Spray ... I know
