Lethal Cosmetics is an indie brand from Germany. They make vegan and cruelty-free makeup that is fun and a bit more colorful than the usual. I've heard of the brand many times since they launched in 2017, but never really gave it a try until recently. I've been trying to add some fun unconventional eyeshadows to my kit and their multichromes were the best I have seen. 

I am already familiar with Vegreen as a Korean skin care brand. I have tested some of their products in the past and based on my experience I was interested in trying out their newest product which is Vitamin C 20% Ampoule.

Whenever I was searching for a good foundation to add to my professional makeup kit, everyone kept talking about Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Luminous Matte foundation. I will admit, I only have one Yves Saint Laurent makeup product, so I didn't have much of a reference for the brand. But all the hype persuaded me to try it and I'm glad I did, because it's now my favorite foundation ever. 

I've shared my love of Asina skin care many times and every now and then I buy a new product that impresses me, but just forget to post a review of on my blog. So in the future I'll try to make more of these short reviews of the products that I have tried and like.

Paese is Polish cosmetic brand that has been coming out with lots of natural vegan formulas. Their makeup now also contains skin care components, so it's that blend of makeup and nourishment that your skin will benefit from. 

I already tried FOREO UFO mini device and that one I really liked. It was my introduction to proper skin care devices. I've realized they give your home skin care routine a spa like experience and definitely help to keep your skin in even better shape. This time I was testing FOREO BEAR which is basically your at home facial fitness device with microcurrent.

Elinor is cosmetic brand by Karin Poravne and her partner Nik. She was Slovenian makeup artist that later established Elinor Cosmetics, opened her own beauty salon and is also distributer of two brands for lash lifting and brows. Elinor is based on natural ingredients that combine skin care with makeup. Elinor has expanded its makeup range a bit and I hear are planning to further expand it and they also have some nice body care products. 

I've recently posted a review of Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks. I also bought Airbrush Flawless Finish powder in 1 Fair while I got the lipsticks, so I had a good time to test it out on me and my clients. I think this is definitely one of the better powders, especially for slightly drier and mature skin.

Charlotte Tilbury is a makeup brand created by makeup artist. Charlotte is a very well known makeup artist and her brand represents her and the kind of looks she likes to creates, which are very chic and flattering. It's sort of natural or classic colors that emphasize each eye color and shape. It's obviously a high end marked brand, but I've seen so much of her products being loved by other fellow makeup artists that I wanted to try it as well. 

e.l.f. Halo Glow Filter has become one of e.l.f. bestsellers and for a good reason. It gives you luminous glow to the skin that will make you look expensive and like you have the best skin care routine ever. 

Another year has passed and as per usual I have here my yearly favorites. In this post you'll find products that I have discovered this year, but may not be all brand new. They are just the products that have impressed me and I have used a lot. Some I have full reviews of, some not yet. 

Geek & Gorgeous is skin care brand that offers a lot of active ingredients without the necessary fragrances, dyes or drying alcohols. Creator of the brand was battling acne. I find this brand so interesting, because it has very affordable prices, yet offers really nice formulas with active ingredients that actually work. In skin care is not about fancy packaging and good smelly stuff anymore. Most of consumers are more and more informed on ingredients and are choosing based on that.
