I had it in my professional makeup kit. I could make it work over all skin types and the color selection was perfect with somewhat warmish neutral tones. So obviously I was very disappointed to see it get discontinued and replaced with HD Skin foundation. At first try I hated it, but then I gave it a fair chance to try several times and here are my thoughts. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSrcDOBpkzxfxaVXcq1mMjQMpujvVFLHFyB61z8qutKsNUCjWZaigI_vKrsyqIzQiL-xd1pnUZHN7rptVInhAY7IiI265_3GPfMclDCkzd6z7SrLtHv9z-ztuFfnWm4Gk97mQ_89wKGsd8EKlvtEJChOOu6O7Vh97qFkumnTDkiMoVKoOekRpTHsdPcS6h/s1602/makeupforeverhdskinfoundation1n10_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1602" data-original-width="1110" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSrcDOBpkzxfxaVXcq1mMjQMpujvVFLHFyB61z8qutKsNUCjWZaigI_vKrsyqIzQiL-xd1pnUZHN7rptVInhAY7IiI265_3GPfMclDCkzd6z7SrLtHv9z-ztuFfnWm4Gk97mQ_89wKGsd8EKlvtEJChOOu6O7Vh97qFkumnTDkiMoVKoOekRpTHsdPcS6h/s16000/makeupforeverhdskinfoundation1n10_1.jpg" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifWYtq6cVq_wiRpC5ISzjVDnz6nHB6_CM4e7gNK0XoQxjiv3J1FoTk_GdVVptl2Boz2SoYJCa3lNF3WBXV4bwJZGZC3B9_wOLTJqi2VHwB3eMcndP4ZJcvQEUcQsuDz7-HT25lg7khZGNjdPMPfbx4Kxh0akgJwzZ4gjtx-rDsy8-quvoLrIumrKZ9JKdU/s1800/makeupforeverhdskinfoundation1n10_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifWYtq6cVq_wiRpC5ISzjVDnz6nHB6_CM4e7gNK0XoQxjiv3J1FoTk_GdVVptl2Boz2SoYJCa3lNF3WBXV4bwJZGZC3B9_wOLTJqi2VHwB3eMcndP4ZJcvQEUcQsuDz7-HT25lg7khZGNjdPMPfbx4Kxh0akgJwzZ4gjtx-rDsy8-quvoLrIumrKZ9JKdU/s16000/makeupforeverhdskinfoundation1n10_2.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Packaging</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It comes in <b>glass bottle</b> with<b> nude cap</b> and <b>black plastic pump</b>.

This one just looks heavier. Yes, it's budge proof and waterproof and the color actually adjusts to my skin tone fairly well, but it's just not what I expected it to be. In my opinion HD Foundation looked much more undetectable than HD Skin and the shade range was way better. They just came out with HD Skin Hydra Glow version for those with drier skin, so maybe that one would be a better match for the discontinued one. </p>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-12074496336155165792024-03-01T16:43:00.002+01:002024-03-01T16:43:59.197+01:00February 2024 Favorites<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsNZVpQq8DpzkZjUD1Cg3JeyAt15q8swy_1a2lWYi6zCXgUFEBADN9AkI6WqloloF6-KqjQXbE2Yn-ZwgMcNL-fz7Qx03IDJciGLwAjruL1iqimIMkeNS7VL9L9cYNZkautx8a-fa56LZePLjWPpHCk-zUwEqRny-n7GHbraMsylRDKgaQWwYkiBR7mGDw/s1748/february2024favorites1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1748" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsNZVpQq8DpzkZjUD1Cg3JeyAt15q8swy_1a2lWYi6zCXgUFEBADN9AkI6WqloloF6-KqjQXbE2Yn-ZwgMcNL-fz7Qx03IDJciGLwAjruL1iqimIMkeNS7VL9L9cYNZkautx8a-fa56LZePLjWPpHCk-zUwEqRny-n7GHbraMsylRDKgaQWwYkiBR7mGDw/s16000/february2024favorites1.jpg" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HkPgm1-ExZT0QIUm9HkshE7KEVkViwS72WVDO1jV8MYvjbdDaBqX3DcDHuTFB3yi3xwioipC6WiccowlOV9CEhzZvwoPzUYsuTu0sIreY8bB4UFnqm-cKVjwGaCgvcbrMlLClIIxmeAtpvIn4edBcLngAbnyPkWxcxdJQ__Hb7I7_wx9x5-CRS1OVQhs/s1800/february2024favorites2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-HkPgm1-ExZT0QIUm9HkshE7KEVkViwS72WVDO1jV8MYvjbdDaBqX3DcDHuTFB3yi3xwioipC6WiccowlOV9CEhzZvwoPzUYsuTu0sIreY8bB4UFnqm-cKVjwGaCgvcbrMlLClIIxmeAtpvIn4edBcLngAbnyPkWxcxdJQ__Hb7I7_wx9x5-CRS1OVQhs/s16000/february2024favorites2.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Subrina Professional Scalp Detox Shampoo</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Subrina is Slovenian hair brand and they've made quite a revamp with their line up. They have Professional line which includes shampoos, masks, conditioner and probably more. I was in Ilirija drugstore for the first time and saw Subrina Professional product and got this Scalp Detox Shampoo which is quite popular among Slovenian skin care influencers. It's meant for sensitive scalp to clean it gently and soothe it. It's transparent gel texture which leathers well. I always shampoo twice, because I have very oily roots. It has quite sweet strong scent, but it sort of reminds me of hair salons, not sweet like sweets. It cleans my hair well which is great for my oiliness. There's not much more to it. It's not one of those noruishing shampoos. I think the whole world is doing hair treatments these days. Hair care is going to be big this year and it's a trend I can get behind. Because I love trying new products and I want to keep my hair as healthy as I can, because I don't have the best genes when it comes to hair. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx5b0XvrOXoFiB_qogcFsLhkHZyiULqSZCEgx8QqOTdbQOuEm6vV-peGUCncFBZMwoaT0HaLWgLfcRo5X6bOQ3zPp8RP9yEgiKfFrDM4exvJcgOjNQWih8K1iIWYtW_iFQZgrbgq-GKRzUEPhvVprecjwQPCGABdycQ8kHVv2UGFqsmDakMLSm2zG-Tx1K/s1200/february2024favorites3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx5b0XvrOXoFiB_qogcFsLhkHZyiULqSZCEgx8QqOTdbQOuEm6vV-peGUCncFBZMwoaT0HaLWgLfcRo5X6bOQ3zPp8RP9yEgiKfFrDM4exvJcgOjNQWih8K1iIWYtW_iFQZgrbgq-GKRzUEPhvVprecjwQPCGABdycQ8kHVv2UGFqsmDakMLSm2zG-Tx1K/s16000/february2024favorites3.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>L.A. Girl Pro Color Foundation Mixing Pigment - Blue</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I got this one as well as white for my professional kit, but I use this blue on myself as well. I have an olive undertone, but I am in general light skin tone. It's very rare to find olive toned light foundations. Olive tones are usually in the medium range, though I know of many that are light and have olive undertone as me. Anyway, if you don't understand the basic color theory - if you mix yellow with blue you get green. This blue pigment you can mix with your yellow toned foundation to adjust it to a more olive undertone. I can finally wear a lot of foundations now and they still match my hands and neck. Fair warning, use very little of this, if you get it, because too green can make you look well...sick. Use just a bit to adjust the tone a little. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>L'Oreal Infaillible 32H Fresh Wear - 100 Linen</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am surprised how much I like this foundation, because I've stayed away from L'Oreal foundations for so long. I get a nice medium coverage with natural matte finish that actually lasts well on the skin. The undertone is warm yellow and now I mix with with blue pigment and get the perfect olive tone. It's one of those drugstore gems that I can definitely recommend to those of you with combination skin. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB2nLOP0HvUyBbzTJCuddMYrjCW0FN0DR9xUv320coQz-9oqSgHRRcJyh9b2qI6omBXQNt7dCuUM1eaBOlA_DfR9C7HlmCNV_RKsRI90GEUkJdWb3wTPTVSeKWpcFbN64Iqsv8gxfK1ARLCmzfaAvdXUSQQ4OjKWjbQVSp2UjWqk1iJFAdo_An8e9LCfNX/s1200/february2024favorites4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB2nLOP0HvUyBbzTJCuddMYrjCW0FN0DR9xUv320coQz-9oqSgHRRcJyh9b2qI6omBXQNt7dCuUM1eaBOlA_DfR9C7HlmCNV_RKsRI90GEUkJdWb3wTPTVSeKWpcFbN64Iqsv8gxfK1ARLCmzfaAvdXUSQQ4OjKWjbQVSp2UjWqk1iJFAdo_An8e9LCfNX/s16000/february2024favorites4.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Catrice LE Magic Christmas Story Cheeklighter - C01 Mother Ginger</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This was limited edition, but I think Essence added similar highlighters in their range now.

It's very popular from the brand and I can see why. It has galactomyces ferment, prebiotics, niacinamide and azeloglycine (azaleic acid and glycine). They say it's a toner, I would call it a serum. It's slightly viscose white serum like texture that leaves a bit of that nourishing layer on the skin. In the warmer months I could use this just as a moisturizer on my combination skin. Now I layer it. This has pretty much everything your skin could need - what an appropriate name. Prebiotics for good skin barrier and health, azaleic acid for brightening and anti-inflammation, squalane for moisturizing, allantoin for soothing, niacinamide for reducing inflammation and sebum production and so much more. I have been using it for a while now and my skin loves it. It's hydrating and moisturizing, soothing on my skin and my skin just looks in great shape. I love the nourishing texture and that it doesn't feel heavy, even though it leaves that protecting layer on the skin. It wears good under makeup. I had to adjust to the natural scent, because it's almost prebiotic like. However once you get used to it, it doesn't bother you anymore. I prefer it over artificial scent. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_RYC4WxvU35kn-7Mfb0XYcCg2VVj3eY_ViQiJt49vQOMEMW1d8Lx8LbLTBLmrvufCc-HUJEfC-U4aLej7TMY0wJ4J0qGqdKRn45BWMzrychE3w8VLmaQkqDiKkmdNmR0BiA1zF1qOudHINSfNAczX_VH0klBn-8qwizJfs_1GTFD7cG5BBk9VUTEx6Khx/s1200/january2024favorites3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_RYC4WxvU35kn-7Mfb0XYcCg2VVj3eY_ViQiJt49vQOMEMW1d8Lx8LbLTBLmrvufCc-HUJEfC-U4aLej7TMY0wJ4J0qGqdKRn45BWMzrychE3w8VLmaQkqDiKkmdNmR0BiA1zF1qOudHINSfNAczX_VH0klBn-8qwizJfs_1GTFD7cG5BBk9VUTEx6Khx/s16000/january2024favorites3.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Essence Lip Care Booster Lip Butter</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I'm not sure, if this was already discontinued or not, but this is a nice lip butter.

It's that kind of formula that's thicker than usual lip balm and stays on the lips better.

I already had Bedazzling, a muted brownish peach shade which goes with pretty much any look, but I love to pair it with very natural looks or when I have bold eyes and don't want something too colorful on the cheeks. I recently bought Beloved which is another interesting shade. It's warm pink, but almost leans a bit coral. A lot more vibrant than Bedazzling, but looks so good with anything peachy and brick on the eyes. These are very pigmented and last really well. Probably one of the better drugstore blushes I have had and so affordable.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0yj9A4msdVZqn-laPjB6AHOO_Hhn6mRRJ6h3kmfgpxUrHUF5JLm-ovMBJ8gnSqHuo0NrQ9EThO9er1siTksW15emNffowdo68EI9r6tGam-ooQa2MDpITt3cQbjsKPKFFIITkTeL_SeSMRdVf2hIwfmoKhZ65mE6iLVpgdfx9iwBD0iS7NQ5JVnsVqTto/s1200/january2024favorites5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0yj9A4msdVZqn-laPjB6AHOO_Hhn6mRRJ6h3kmfgpxUrHUF5JLm-ovMBJ8gnSqHuo0NrQ9EThO9er1siTksW15emNffowdo68EI9r6tGam-ooQa2MDpITt3cQbjsKPKFFIITkTeL_SeSMRdVf2hIwfmoKhZ65mE6iLVpgdfx9iwBD0iS7NQ5JVnsVqTto/s16000/january2024favorites5.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Essence Pure Nude Baked Blush - 02 Pink Flush</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I don't understand why we don't have these blushes in our drugstore?! They are pretty popular everywhere else. I got these on Flaconi shop, but I've since seen them on Notino as well. I was choosing the shade only based on online swatches and I wanted a more softer pink so I got Pink Flush. It's fair to light pink shade with sort of neutral undertone and it has that proper cooler sheen to it, but it also has small glittery gold sparks in there. I don't like chunky shimmer particles particularly, but I forgive it because of a gorgeous sheen. I always skip highlighter when I have this one. This is my blush for those sunless boring days, when you need that flush of pink and some sheen to brighten up your day. It can look a bit much on a sunny day and when my skin gets oilier. I think there are differences among the shades and I would love to get some more shades to see, if all have these shimmery particles in them or not. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vDLXrOBJzXG_Z0nN6krIVBfKkoL1PtLE-wcPfB6X8dhMSXYD5bjXW2EODnD0XYEVrQq-ycLe1dXCiW8uq2-yyTniweTk4bJHP1WUe6fuo0wsrPKqsVYeFNkEHfGd8GbEl9iVRuyC8wdKhYtil09_mRPl7iRaUzqk50e-Z_knP1fKcQb7MdbyqzEA_LW1/s1200/january2024favorites6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2vDLXrOBJzXG_Z0nN6krIVBfKkoL1PtLE-wcPfB6X8dhMSXYD5bjXW2EODnD0XYEVrQq-ycLe1dXCiW8uq2-yyTniweTk4bJHP1WUe6fuo0wsrPKqsVYeFNkEHfGd8GbEl9iVRuyC8wdKhYtil09_mRPl7iRaUzqk50e-Z_knP1fKcQb7MdbyqzEA_LW1/s16000/january2024favorites6.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Catrice Space Glam Chrome Eyeshadow - 030 Galaxy Lights</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">These remind me a lot of the Essence Melted Chrome eyeshadows that they had a few years ago and I loved those eyeshadows. But these are duo chrome. They have the same buttery creamy formula that is very pigmented. I believe they only have three shades and Galaxy Lights stood out to me the most. It's got a bit of a grey base, but shift green or gold depending on the angle. Lasts really well with eye primer on my oily lids and I just hope they come out with more shades. I will say there is only 1 gram of product in it, Essence Melted Chromes had 2 grams. So I guess that it the trend now with inflation - cut the size of the product and keep the price the same or even make it more expensive. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHycF0-AdH_0HGC2qTm_VXWe9zlJZfSmOC-pGmMnav5dpFyhKcDmV3Mp_lCY1m5JKPFZ_74nbYz-ZTkLXE7EMcqetrnEN8ZB3Y1ijbHJr9fw5uylZkNOrxtJ2qFpNMovULUUVP-YtBnkYIVT-J9aEskah089ZSk_O9jD-mChlnwYoBSxqQ2F9rCS8jK0o/s1200/january2024favorites7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggHycF0-AdH_0HGC2qTm_VXWe9zlJZfSmOC-pGmMnav5dpFyhKcDmV3Mp_lCY1m5JKPFZ_74nbYz-ZTkLXE7EMcqetrnEN8ZB3Y1ijbHJr9fw5uylZkNOrxtJ2qFpNMovULUUVP-YtBnkYIVT-J9aEskah089ZSk_O9jD-mChlnwYoBSxqQ2F9rCS8jK0o/s16000/january2024favorites7.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Liner - 760 90s Nude</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">A very cream formula that just glides on the lips. I personally prefer something drier for a lip liner, because it usually stays on better. But this formula is creamy and comfortable and very easy to blend out. You could use it all over the lips as lipstick in my opinion. 90s Nude is medium warm brown with some peachy pink tones to it. I would think it was going to be more brown and cooler, but it's not. Still a pretty shade.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLTTvqGQNzyc41OfcVynrNcc1I6dIgSIY_MU_-lL9b5JXfJk-_MmLCRMrlbgJaWJARR2FEpEChDDKLl9d7f35RBiV8tmM2eACsi2pkmrFMYzylj0dfkUob5CA_UR2rcBOsWtE_MsyWptBvZdf9sBR_kYaecEa-IXePm6cwmche5RyJnLdFK8iqeL5XJj1C/s1200/january2024favorites8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLTTvqGQNzyc41OfcVynrNcc1I6dIgSIY_MU_-lL9b5JXfJk-_MmLCRMrlbgJaWJARR2FEpEChDDKLl9d7f35RBiV8tmM2eACsi2pkmrFMYzylj0dfkUob5CA_UR2rcBOsWtE_MsyWptBvZdf9sBR_kYaecEa-IXePm6cwmche5RyJnLdFK8iqeL5XJj1C/s16000/january2024favorites8.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Catrice Melting Kiss Gloss Stick - 050 Soulmate</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am not sure, if this is still available either. I got it on Notino, because I remember loving this formula when trying it in the store when it came out, but I actually never got it. Soulmate is warm brick brown shade. It's that kind of glossy lip butter kind of formula that glides on the lips, feels super comfortable and gives a wash of color. It's not opaque by any means. You can wear it on it's own for a very neutral flush of color and some sheen or I like to apply it over lip liners like the one by Rimmel. It can be a bit sticky over lipsticks, but I just love these kind of comforting lip formulas that you can apply everywhere without even needing the mirror. I am seeing more such formulas coming out this year. </p>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-21585509976516711442024-01-30T13:46:00.000+01:002024-01-30T13:46:34.479+01:00Review: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation - 4<p style="text-align: justify;">I have been trying a lot of new foundations recently.

So, if you want to get it, check every available option, because you can get it a lot cheaper or way more expensive. It's a high end brand obviously, but still why not get it cheaper, if you can. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9CSTl2VcbFcaFDxTXIaNdYT1KcfouxdR0IqaeVtI8Xf4eYvRHzLt0TpnnhBVSeGKrlwvzmByKE20b0_MsyXXQXO-7aa-lBATaL9yfusb94pBCTzY2I4_5Xv863Upmpq00-Ja0DraM4o_q4NT_fhwTnmIzlpeBZWe58rlSwV0yRYzu1z9wI_8jngauj615/s1200/giorgioarmaniluminoussilkfoundation4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9CSTl2VcbFcaFDxTXIaNdYT1KcfouxdR0IqaeVtI8Xf4eYvRHzLt0TpnnhBVSeGKrlwvzmByKE20b0_MsyXXQXO-7aa-lBATaL9yfusb94pBCTzY2I4_5Xv863Upmpq00-Ja0DraM4o_q4NT_fhwTnmIzlpeBZWe58rlSwV0yRYzu1z9wI_8jngauj615/s16000/giorgioarmaniluminoussilkfoundation4.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Formula</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">It has <b>liquid, lightweight texture</b>.

Plus it's not for those that wants really good coverage. You can build it up for sure, but not to a proper full coverage in my opinion. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">I would use this on my good skin days and in the winter, when my skin is generally drier and not so oily.

I have finally tried a big more expensive cleansers and new skincare products that I haven't tried before. There was one game-changing device that I still use. As far as makeup goes, I have been on a hunt for good drugstore and high end foundations and I actually found some good ones. There have also been other bits that I have tried that were new to me, but not necessarily new launches. I have gathered the products that I think deserve to be mentioned as they are well worth the money in my opinion. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG5DqZF5SdUKfN4dKQ5lmNQtxdz4lYLZ3HJm05TBem4hucrldv-GIy7T-GDNc_9EuSrD6_WwDaRuAkpUhmNOjcgiTlJQr0iJG2ZvITpeMq3_wvKh-PDQ89y13feCIHXQ94XhZ71ilET7Bc0xeoJyI_mdUzC7vVMqw70Dhc4owVh073_z2bU9eXFSdZBQW3/s1800/2023favorites1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG5DqZF5SdUKfN4dKQ5lmNQtxdz4lYLZ3HJm05TBem4hucrldv-GIy7T-GDNc_9EuSrD6_WwDaRuAkpUhmNOjcgiTlJQr0iJG2ZvITpeMq3_wvKh-PDQ89y13feCIHXQ94XhZ71ilET7Bc0xeoJyI_mdUzC7vVMqw70Dhc4owVh073_z2bU9eXFSdZBQW3/s16000/2023favorites1.jpg" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMV6LrKMFT6mRJjL7FM_cVerR5rXi07YlkBIS-fnQTzVg-C1Hc514waYFdFEnJy3dJjl9b7sI8ulpWKPoT8CkQlHwuMX-8qCFMD9mL4tiYBmmPUpJsZzx1T2zPxoBgnt5epy1QnXYp_VEpgH5IE0_mg-lBf3QZA8ESBOcs8M_V4OWtPL76u9ZPwHUH1IOM/s1200/hadalabocleansingoilhydratingcleanser.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMV6LrKMFT6mRJjL7FM_cVerR5rXi07YlkBIS-fnQTzVg-C1Hc514waYFdFEnJy3dJjl9b7sI8ulpWKPoT8CkQlHwuMX-8qCFMD9mL4tiYBmmPUpJsZzx1T2zPxoBgnt5epy1QnXYp_VEpgH5IE0_mg-lBf3QZA8ESBOcs8M_V4OWtPL76u9ZPwHUH1IOM/s16000/hadalabocleansingoilhydratingcleanser.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/06/asian-skincare-skin1004-madagascar.html" target="_blank">Rohto Mentholatum Hadalabo Gokujyun Oil Cleansing</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cleansing oil that is quite well known. It has a tad thicker formula than most of Asian cleansing oils, but that only means it melts even the most long lasting makeup and is great to massage every trace of makeup off the face. It turns milky once you take it off with water and doesn't leave any oily residue, though I always continue with a second cleanse gel. I like that you can get refills of it, so it's cheaper and you don't have to keep rebuying it, though the packaging is plastic, but pump works fine. I actually already bought refills of it and it's definitely one of my favorite cleansing oils, but then again all Asian cleansing oils have impressed me so far. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hada Labo Tokyo Gentle Hydrating Cleanser All-In-One</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As you will notice, if you read through this post, I have invested quite a lot in trying out more expensive skincare especially when it comes to cleansing. I usually used very cheap drugstore versions, but I wanted to see if higher prices are worth it. And usually they were. This is a lovely cleanser with hyaluronic acid. It's quite thick and it can be hard to squeeze it out of the tube sometimes. You need a pea size, because it lathers very well and it cleanses the skin so well leaving it soft and moisturized. It never irritated me, but it always felt like it cleansed very well. I still use it. It's more expensive, but you need so little that it will last a long time. I am glad this is in our drugstores, so it's easily accessible. Very nice gentle cleanser for a second cleans or a morning cleanse. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPQHR6dlxAUx1sfhGBqoUs__DPwMquhE-DIoB_DG0Cb8Wwu9vnZxj1QO7EOV0Pbci0syZV6ZGYAOQtmEGdaopRuNvyk_OocFoXdHnoAtIYqxfF2IARuh_zC8RVZtyOBjGiLUkId9SczfDhlo4EPj6pHjP7ySbiO6i23y2wLZIvENpy01NtL66q8MOB6b8b/s1608/softymokosespeedycleansingoil1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1608" data-original-width="1086" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPQHR6dlxAUx1sfhGBqoUs__DPwMquhE-DIoB_DG0Cb8Wwu9vnZxj1QO7EOV0Pbci0syZV6ZGYAOQtmEGdaopRuNvyk_OocFoXdHnoAtIYqxfF2IARuh_zC8RVZtyOBjGiLUkId9SczfDhlo4EPj6pHjP7ySbiO6i23y2wLZIvENpy01NtL66q8MOB6b8b/s16000/softymokosespeedycleansingoil1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/11/asian-skincare-2-kose-haruharu-pyunkang.html" target="_blank">Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil</a></span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nice lightweight cleansing oil that doesn't have any specific scent.

It's a lightweight cleansing oil that turns milky once you wash it off with water just like others. It has fresh herbal scent and you really don't need a lot to take off stubborn makeup. I just liked how it made my skin feel and it must have been the herbal scent that made it almost spa like. All others I have mentioned are just as good and efficient, but if I had the budget I would probably repurchase this one, because it's the more expensive out of all.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/06/asian-skincare-skin1004-madagascar.html" target="_blank">Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I think I already bought two full sizes of these and one mini. It's 100% centella asiatica extract. This is lightweight viscose texture that feels super lightweight on the skin. I come back to this whenever my skin acts out - either it be irritated, sensitized, dry or full of blemishes. Centella asiatica is known for its soothing and healing capabilities and this ampoule just always feels so soothing and healing on my skin.

It made my skin feel so soft and exfoliated. There is no scent to it.

I hate these artificial Vitamin C scents of skin care products and this one doesn't have it. It contains 14% ascorbic acid and 6% ethyl ascorbyl ether. There is also my favorite centella asiatica in it. It feels almost like a dry oil with no scent. At first I mixed it in with my moisturizer, because I didn't want my skin to feel oily. Now I use it on top of moisturizing toner and before SPF in the morning. No mater how I used it, my skin never felt greasy and makeup actually wore well over it, so the formula is nice for my needs. I also noticed while using it regularly that my skin tone became brighter and sallowness around my mouth was less dark. It's one of the rare Vitamin C products that I actually liked and used in the past year. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKp4CjFXFEEiSW7wYo0Oe0n6T8qBh5EUWEYdtyfEpNJP9HxoyqxtjudvSoEdYKHX6oFfUps5lCWRTk9fiBAS0orGS9JUl7SZ28XxX0VXt0oALTkv-UNyBnwqUdBEApHTJAJ0I-SmmMxvS0FLv8PpmT6almM6oFximgtpNQpTAbhUkoTjLF7QpyMss6w98H/s1200/vegreenteatreegelcream1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKp4CjFXFEEiSW7wYo0Oe0n6T8qBh5EUWEYdtyfEpNJP9HxoyqxtjudvSoEdYKHX6oFfUps5lCWRTk9fiBAS0orGS9JUl7SZ28XxX0VXt0oALTkv-UNyBnwqUdBEApHTJAJ0I-SmmMxvS0FLv8PpmT6almM6oFximgtpNQpTAbhUkoTjLF7QpyMss6w98H/s16000/vegreenteatreegelcream1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/02/review-vegreen-nature-mucin-serum-and.html" target="_blank">Vegreen Skin Purifying Tea Tree Gel Cream</a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I don't put a lot of emphasis on moisturizer creams. It's probably because I prefer thinner textures and I love active ingredients which usually come in serum formats. So I never really buy creams. I just use whatever I have on hand mostly. I even skip moisturizer in the summer and replace it with SPF. But this gel cream from Vegreen was a nice change to my usual creams. It was super lightweight, but still soothing and repairing. It has 78.4% of tea tree extract which is very antibacterial and great for large pores and a lot of sebum production. It also contains my favorite centella asiatica and panthenol, great ingredients to soothe and keep your skin's barrier healthy. It gave me that natural velvet finish without any scent. This was the perfect moisturizing cream for combination skin. I loved it in the summer, but this could also be great for winter, if I layered something underneath it. Just a very nice formula that felt so nice on the skin. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUvdKocFf8HEY0MVb4udXw3CmupZkeDt9SXrV65t1XkCWja2qPKOyfCo_4pw6u98yTB51nBmIf_EgNfn6BH2Rx-jz0z8WrRhSHFFTasbW5FqvJ8Rqrbs_OtPw5wJkBSv0A9l9__hQF3MjHG4f8_-B8qzMgdsWXYPe27n4i2KYDBBq8SNkuiq4yWKjbDeKc/s1200/july2023favorites3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUvdKocFf8HEY0MVb4udXw3CmupZkeDt9SXrV65t1XkCWja2qPKOyfCo_4pw6u98yTB51nBmIf_EgNfn6BH2Rx-jz0z8WrRhSHFFTasbW5FqvJ8Rqrbs_OtPw5wJkBSv0A9l9__hQF3MjHG4f8_-B8qzMgdsWXYPe27n4i2KYDBBq8SNkuiq4yWKjbDeKc/s16000/july2023favorites3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Super lightweight sunscreen that feels almost like serum with centalla asiatica and hyaluronic acid.

And that says a lot, because I get easily bored with these devices that require too much effort out of me to put in my daily routine. It's an LED Light Therapy mask that you strap on your face, turn it on, leave it working for 10 minutes 3 to 5 times a week and you see results after just a month. I won't go into details, because I have a full review written up. I've notice my skin looks more even toned, fine lines look less deep and almost shorter, my skin feels super soft and plump and the skin heals faster, if I have any pimples. It's definitely the one device that made the most difference in the way my skin looks. This is an investment, but I actually enjoy using it, because I get to have 10 minutes of peace while I wear it. I am over 30 years old now and I just want my skin to look best for as long as possible. I know I can't stop aging, but with these kind of devices you at least get to keep it in best shape for as long as you can.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3El5bBKNug7vNEpsYzYLHIbcQgPdSxy6ZMlKtPUMZxooyGbldD75QJ40_YPfwn7QWheteK-sT9hs22lM_jTNlrepMgXEOKXVGRdJEIQ4HV6x8aii03-W7QpsjBRikhdSZOfo_2L0q2wcPFDy-QuZitBACtvJR4eY4a_hZmdB_yEUOnMhr0DKG6K_nvQ6/s1200/foreabear.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3El5bBKNug7vNEpsYzYLHIbcQgPdSxy6ZMlKtPUMZxooyGbldD75QJ40_YPfwn7QWheteK-sT9hs22lM_jTNlrepMgXEOKXVGRdJEIQ4HV6x8aii03-W7QpsjBRikhdSZOfo_2L0q2wcPFDy-QuZitBACtvJR4eY4a_hZmdB_yEUOnMhr0DKG6K_nvQ6/s16000/foreabear.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/05/review-foreo-bear-and-serum.html" target="_blank">Foreo Bear</a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Another beauty device that I have tried in the past year. I will say I am not using it as often, but it has a special place in my skincare routine. This is a microcurrent device that basically gives you sort of a facelift effect at home. Microcurrent stimulates your facial muscles to firm your skin, improve fine wrinkles and sculpt your features. It also boosts your microcirculation, so skincare works better and soaks in faster. I love to use it as a treat before special occasions, because I can see immediate lift of my contours and my brows. I use it for a few minutes with something very slippery, preferably oily and I can see my cheeks being more contoured and my brows lifter. I have one side of the face that is visibly lower than the other and Fore Bear is the only thing that can get me to make it look at least a bit more even. There is many levels of microcurrent and you can adjust it according to your tolerance. I am on a level 5 and I can definitely feel it tingle. It's a funny feeling, but also a good workout for my facial muscles. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDJE982Ex8Xg7v2JwXGqOr0IJzyO8TQRKcgB7v958VthXVUsrz3ZwDsLz86t9W9iGnun-QSX-MWH-sNbQVCIe9dJihdGCOsWoOJ8d3STeZy4kFwPRznEbc-GYhkzyOSbOlJFy6ScO4rLW10yrJ1WcjbGBTpa5gr1rcBOrMVFppGPU7WkpYcUcIumNHul8m/s1200/yslallhoursfoundationlorealinfailliblefreshwearfoundation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDJE982Ex8Xg7v2JwXGqOr0IJzyO8TQRKcgB7v958VthXVUsrz3ZwDsLz86t9W9iGnun-QSX-MWH-sNbQVCIe9dJihdGCOsWoOJ8d3STeZy4kFwPRznEbc-GYhkzyOSbOlJFy6ScO4rLW10yrJ1WcjbGBTpa5gr1rcBOrMVFppGPU7WkpYcUcIumNHul8m/s16000/yslallhoursfoundationlorealinfailliblefreshwearfoundation.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/07/review-yves-saint-laurent-all-hours.html" target="_blank">Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Luminous Matte Foundation - LW8</a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">One of my best discoveries of the past year in makeup category is definitely this foundation from Yves Saint Laurent. It's my favorite foundation so far for my combination skin. Partly, because shade LW8 is a perfect match for my skin when it comes to undertone. It has a bit of that olive tone to it. Thought it's just a tad too dark for my winter complexion, but I can definitely make it work. It's got thicker formula that you don't need a lot of. It spreads so well and really gives you that luminous matte finish. Contradictory, but it's true. It's not a dead matte, but a luminous matte finish which is perfect for combination and normal skin. Plus it's definitely one of the most long lasting foundations I have tried so far. It also almost keeps my sebum at bay for the whole day. I don't need to powder it through the day. Plus it looks fairly natural, while still giving you a good medium coverage, but can be built up to full. It's very expensive and there is only 25 ml of product in it and for some reason the shade LW8 isn't available everywhere or it's always sold out and not on sale. I worry if I am going to be able to actually repurchase it at a descent price, so obviously I only use it on special occasions. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>L'Oreal Infaillible 32H Fresh Wear Foundation - 100 Linen</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I stayed away from L'Oreal foundations for a long time. I guess I was still traumatized from way back when I bought one of their foundations and it looked so orange on me. I think it was their True Match foundation. But whenever I researched good drugstore foundations, L'Oreal recommendations kept coming up. So I got this one and it finally changed my mind. This is such a nice foundation. More on the liquid side, super smooth to apply and it gives you that nice medium coverage with velvet matte finish. It's also quite long lasting. Shade Linen is really nice for me when I have some color, it's a bit dark now in the summer, but I mix it with others now. It's a really nice drugstore foundation. I wouldn't say it's for dry or mature skin, because it can emphasize dry patches. I was so nicely surprised that I actually ordered another foundation from L'Oreal that I will be testing out in the future. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6ARD5NEU_8tix9Fj7HGQjuKWdEnj-DcjpQOwUBhQMg0KTgedr4g2Rmw_6UopBexJHFkblteFKdNUjaBL9r3wBWnfHGKjcFR_oUweoekl4TkjFRUWiLziZS0FYxevVeFrA1nf2MpJIqO3cWHGvGN5Bdy6bI8e5raikUEW0ixhBAeUh7w_Lf7RvfYtqPMb/s1200/charlottetilburyairbrushflawlessfinishpowder.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiw6ARD5NEU_8tix9Fj7HGQjuKWdEnj-DcjpQOwUBhQMg0KTgedr4g2Rmw_6UopBexJHFkblteFKdNUjaBL9r3wBWnfHGKjcFR_oUweoekl4TkjFRUWiLziZS0FYxevVeFrA1nf2MpJIqO3cWHGvGN5Bdy6bI8e5raikUEW0ixhBAeUh7w_Lf7RvfYtqPMb/s16000/charlottetilburyairbrushflawlessfinishpowder.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/04/review-charlotte-tillbury-airbrush.html" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder - 1 Fair</a></b></span></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I usually stick to my loose powders, because those feel more mattifying and you get a lot of product for a cheaper price usually.

I would almost use it as a finishing powder. It's especially nice under the eyes and around my nose where I have large pores. It doesn't look powdery or cakey at all and you can definitely touch it up through the day and it won't look too much. It's a really nice powder. Mature and dry skin would like it too.

It seems like only high end brands do these. I found this one in Asian market as one of their most popular. It has three shades which are in fact that cool grey undertone perfect for fair and light skin tone. The lightest shade is almost too light for me. Medium is perfect for nose contour and the darkest is great for a very light cheek and chin contour. Powder is soft and not too pigmented, so you can't overdo it. If you are fair and light it will work, but any darker and you won't be able to use this. I love the fact that you get three shades, because you can mix and match them according to the season. It's nice, though I would still want something more pigmented and slightly darker for the future. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2c3O01QnBX3jsAS-yQVZrqDAlkP32uGrftYSxRAvV0RAhyV-mleIoTrEUlBjc5GW3ARx6TO0LJn33vxAWM7Z9HbXbxq4ito3AI8Hbwadq2lUgjBPPF8wC3SUuw1eqIA7C4G-UXU7SGff0C_LW-9K7BNrA-cM-dz-vwlPwTlSRfqk-RyfV8FUaZ1o-u7fz/s1200/lookbybipadelicatecompactbronzer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2c3O01QnBX3jsAS-yQVZrqDAlkP32uGrftYSxRAvV0RAhyV-mleIoTrEUlBjc5GW3ARx6TO0LJn33vxAWM7Z9HbXbxq4ito3AI8Hbwadq2lUgjBPPF8wC3SUuw1eqIA7C4G-UXU7SGff0C_LW-9K7BNrA-cM-dz-vwlPwTlSRfqk-RyfV8FUaZ1o-u7fz/s16000/lookbybipadelicatecompactbronzer.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Look by Bipa Delicate Compact bronzer Bronzer & Contour Powder - 030 sunny beach</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I found this gem in Austrian drugstore Bipa. It's their brand which also very affordable. It's that perfect slightly grey shade of bronzer, so you can actually use it as a contour or a bronzer. Or just use it as both in one product like I do. The tone is just perfect for light to medium skin tone. It's also fairly smooth, doesn't look patchy and stays fairly well on the skin. It's not the most long lasting, but I make it work, because the shade is just so nice. I would wand more similar colors in our drugstores, not just warm bronzer shades. I've obviously used it a lot, since I've already hit the pan. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihT4lyV2Ajip1lck5IgV0HRiyWbqlRHRPtP2v_ZPaTLTan_A2otHu2HYG0qt10GeZLCFCDcIeejc8rmn7bwKNJdIoHX4GaEDYD67ufKoNfJd9zRsdrTtuldDUoeUSUU2CaQHTbuNXbuZetnv3cULtpRZqIbFGFlYstE5obo8KGo9T6rhg8C9TdGNnItMki/s1200/paesecreambronzercatricemeltedsuncreambronzerelinorsunraybronzer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihT4lyV2Ajip1lck5IgV0HRiyWbqlRHRPtP2v_ZPaTLTan_A2otHu2HYG0qt10GeZLCFCDcIeejc8rmn7bwKNJdIoHX4GaEDYD67ufKoNfJd9zRsdrTtuldDUoeUSUU2CaQHTbuNXbuZetnv3cULtpRZqIbFGFlYstE5obo8KGo9T6rhg8C9TdGNnItMki/s16000/paesecreambronzercatricemeltedsuncreambronzerelinorsunraybronzer.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Paese x Krzyszkowska Creamy Bronzer - 02 Tan Kissed</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I believe the year 2023 was the year of cream makeup products. I too have been discovering creamier products and one category that got the most likes was creamy bronzers. I have three that are all different, but I've enjoyed using all of them. Paese is the newest addition to my collection. It's actually the driest formula out of all, but it's got the most perfect cool grey undertone to it. Which means you can also contour your face not just use it as a bronzer. I feel like I can go over it quite a few times to get it opaque and it's not he most long lasting, but I really like the tone of it. And because it's a bit drier it sticks better to the skin and looks more matte on my skin.

This is a creamier formula that turns powdery once you apply it on the skin. It's actually very pigmented and sits somewhere in between being warm and slightly cool toned. I love a wider pan which means most brushes fit in and it's actually very quick to apply. It also blend quickly and I find it lasts well on the skin.

It worked for me in the summer, when I had a bit of tan and I wanted that warmth on my face. For the winter is too warm for my skin tone. It's probably one of the easiest to blend and one of the most pigmented. You need the tinniest bit and you can use it all over the face. You also get a ton of product which you will never use up.

Essence The Blush is exactly that. Smooth formula that is so easy to apply and blend. I didn't even buy this one myself. I got it as a gift and the shade immediately looked like my kind of shade. That brownish apricot shade that you pick when you want something on your cheeks, but you almost want it to look like a bronzer. Not something bright or pink and this is perfect. They have quite a nice shade selection and I have actually ordered a more pink shades, because I love that they are matte, which is sometimes rare to find in drugstore. These remind of H&M Pure Radiance blushes which I still own and love. Worth every penny. Plus they are quite long lasting. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvDdfGY9Pqzgvi38engyzxzOgP_72ZeEkGESYcGWuyi-ycZfVGTH0DtPRoRcb-YgVCxIWjmSKu_6eOeqDceEIGh2AJ5Q3qhte25FdbFPKILLrRiAnoG20STfWEPw6R6bs6GnWm7lSy1YI_71-fnR8LnddAyffRHKBxmRffz6mHatYKKGWBX2rktFU9_p4/s1200/lethalcosmeticseyeshadowspierrereneeyeshadow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBvDdfGY9Pqzgvi38engyzxzOgP_72ZeEkGESYcGWuyi-ycZfVGTH0DtPRoRcb-YgVCxIWjmSKu_6eOeqDceEIGh2AJ5Q3qhte25FdbFPKILLrRiAnoG20STfWEPw6R6bs6GnWm7lSy1YI_71-fnR8LnddAyffRHKBxmRffz6mHatYKKGWBX2rktFU9_p4/s16000/lethalcosmeticseyeshadowspierrereneeyeshadow.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/09/lethal-cosmetics-eyeshadows-limbo.html" target="_blank">Lethal Cosmetics Eyeshadows</a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I've decided to try indie brand's Lethal Cosmetics eyeshadows, because they have some nice multichrome shades to choose from. I got a few to complete my eyeshadow collection and add some pops of color. They are nicely pigmented, but have a bit of fallout, so it's best to apply them with fingers. However you can choose among so many different shades with fun shift and duochrome looks that are just so unique. They last on the eyes all day and so far these have been well worth it. I would need to get some more neutral shades in the future as well to try out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pierre Rene Eyeshadow</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I sort of threw this one in the basket while I was shopping on some Poland online shop. It looked cute and I didn't think much of it, but oh wow. This is such a nice creamy formula with lots of small shimmery particles that act like fine glitter. It's an amazing eyeshadow topper or a good icy eyeshadow on its own. I've used it a lot already on me and my clients as well. The quality is amazing and it's so affordable. I hope I'll get some more shades from the brand in the future. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMF13yPPKKuRa9qMRvpAIzRcMHLNWjjFWdY1KudRCXiTyCkKL_Mr5ex_nsoOohlJ-XrpAa7yDtZ_t0fgo_dg__mniia_WLPA4tn8VJ74hTmKaCTBo8G0D7t-WmLezwKApw3-pwCpTha-Nl7NDiDXrzwRLPlbxxwvgVTJ9xQ8ehuKd-UA7dNPsrKdrbRJpc/s1200/paeseeyeshadows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMF13yPPKKuRa9qMRvpAIzRcMHLNWjjFWdY1KudRCXiTyCkKL_Mr5ex_nsoOohlJ-XrpAa7yDtZ_t0fgo_dg__mniia_WLPA4tn8VJ74hTmKaCTBo8G0D7t-WmLezwKApw3-pwCpTha-Nl7NDiDXrzwRLPlbxxwvgVTJ9xQ8ehuKd-UA7dNPsrKdrbRJpc/s16000/paeseeyeshadows.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Paese Warm Crush Eyeshadow Palette</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Paese definitely makes one nice eyeshadows. They make great powders in my opinion as well, but their eyeshadows surprised me past year. This is the newest launch that I got from them. Shade range is exactly after my own taste. It has everything - matte light, medium and dark for eyeliner. Plus you get some fun shimmery shades for inner corner and the lid. One is even duochrome. Shimmery shades are drier, so they are best applied with finger. Mattes are super smooth and pigmented. They also last very well through the day and I know they have quite a selection of shades to choose from.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/06/review-paese-daily-vibe-palette-01-02.html" target="_blank">Paese Daily Vibe Palette - 02 Military Vibe</a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This palette is worth it for me especially for that second shades which is sort of a transparent light green with those shimmers that gives your eye that glossy look.

Apparently Asian eyeliners are very long lasting and I love that they have a thousand and one version of brown. In our drugstores you usually get black, dark brown and grey. That's about it. I love those chocolate and amber browns that lean redish or warm. Amber Brown is that medium brown with warm chocolate amber tone. It's matte. The formula is super creamy, so it's perfect to smudge out or smudge out a nice thin wing like I love to do. If you go over the line several times it can look a bit gunky I'd say do one swipe and blend it out. It's such a soft color and so creamy. But once it sets, which is fairly quick it doesn't move and what I love the most, it doesn't transfer on my upper lid even if I don't set it with eyeshadow. It's not he most opaque, which might be due to lighter color as well. But that doesn't bother me personally, I like something creamy and easy to blend. It has that small sharpener on the bottom, because it's a twist up pencil. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gvOZqf1H0ysLhRX0FoKfPGDSvNg0bs3ODQa662wNNJ72JFjEv9CBXjKMwXP4smlsXlth2nuZgxJh3hjk7Z2BBsfCuzKfc5kuBNARQXNMGPtfKTWMEmqOf-pLX7H8hGHOXRQlNGYvpfRuXLxHlm4Xe5DwSYxeGkJJMHz5T_-nbl0ahzVXiK8kFSJ43LR7/s1200/february2023favorites5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3gvOZqf1H0ysLhRX0FoKfPGDSvNg0bs3ODQa662wNNJ72JFjEv9CBXjKMwXP4smlsXlth2nuZgxJh3hjk7Z2BBsfCuzKfc5kuBNARQXNMGPtfKTWMEmqOf-pLX7H8hGHOXRQlNGYvpfRuXLxHlm4Xe5DwSYxeGkJJMHz5T_-nbl0ahzVXiK8kFSJ43LR7/s16000/february2023favorites5.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/03/february-2023-favorites.html" target="_blank">Essence Longlasting Eye Pencil </a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I think those two shades were discontinued or at least the green one. But I know they still have some other shades available in our drugstores. This is another cheap find that is so nice. Creamy formula that is thick and has a lot of color in one swipe. I would always blend this, because it's very pigmented. Both of these shades were lovely, a chocolate brown and darker olive. The formula is just so easy to apply and blend out with pencil brush. I usually set it with powder eyeshadows, but even if you don't they stay on well. These are also great as a base for eyeshadows if you want to make them last longer and make them look more bold. Very nice formula. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-1EfXCysa32W7HB5bk814WL6JMA-WYvUy0WDc9itk7jqh2qAZWSRA2PvaryHAhjkZ9lgbD2ZrRI8s4xefMmFS9_GBwNJIyWgE76Q6vshZwWv0uyJqJ3D5nXE54_7ebQvi0Gj-l3NqLOX1wzmZI5nIhkn0S6Zicf3B4uigdjXgaKvv5wem193jAeCOAETo/s1200/august2023favorites7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-1EfXCysa32W7HB5bk814WL6JMA-WYvUy0WDc9itk7jqh2qAZWSRA2PvaryHAhjkZ9lgbD2ZrRI8s4xefMmFS9_GBwNJIyWgE76Q6vshZwWv0uyJqJ3D5nXE54_7ebQvi0Gj-l3NqLOX1wzmZI5nIhkn0S6Zicf3B4uigdjXgaKvv5wem193jAeCOAETo/s16000/august2023favorites7.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Essence Stay & Play Gel Eyeliner - 02 But First Espresso</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Another amazing affordable formula. It's again that gel creamy formula that applies like a dream. You have a bit of time to smudge it out, but once it sets this doesn't move at all. No transfer on my upper lid and it pretty much stayed like this all day long. Color selection is more basic and you don't get those fun warmer brown and olive shades, but if you need a basic dark brown, black or grey this is the way to go. These drugstore finds definitely made it clear to me that you can find amazing eye pencils at a very affordable prices and that it's pretty much useless to buy high end formulas. Except if you want specific shades, because like I said, shade selection in drugstore is limited. I heard somewhere that pretty much all eye pencils are made in two factory in the world, so there is a good chance your drugstore eye pencil is made in the same factory as your high end ones. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRlhZdtfm0QA8IeDUELt1hVv0BRDGa3trnni05jy0EX21CARRYwOroU2PV-7aPnKEJ_XFjfSMxmAUlZTi58nkHfWoiLGeuGnQSDzBBokXheLfeNDql11IKg42eb1VOmaFBgU1MRQ-B7ubCT5GT9io2VQs1sa6bQpsW07DHkZw-rapQ8TYA21_ir93uwUHV/s1200/charlottetilburylipsticks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRlhZdtfm0QA8IeDUELt1hVv0BRDGa3trnni05jy0EX21CARRYwOroU2PV-7aPnKEJ_XFjfSMxmAUlZTi58nkHfWoiLGeuGnQSDzBBokXheLfeNDql11IKg42eb1VOmaFBgU1MRQ-B7ubCT5GT9io2VQs1sa6bQpsW07DHkZw-rapQ8TYA21_ir93uwUHV/s16000/charlottetilburylipsticks.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/03/review-charlotte-tilbury-lipsticks.html" target="_blank">Charlotte Tilbury Lipsticks - Pillow Talk, Supermodel and Walk Of No Shame</a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I've realized I don't buy lipsticks anymore. Maybe because I have to many and I just can't justify throwing all of those away and buying new ones. But also I am pretty safe with my color choices and don't use many vibrant shades. I was glad to invest in this trio of mini lipsticks from Charlotte Tilbury, because the formula is very nice. It's that creamy, smooth and well pigmented formula that gives you matte finish, but a comfortable one. The shade selection is also really nice. Surprisingly, I think I wore Pillow Talk the most. At first it looked a bit too light for me, but once my tan faded away, it was just the most perfect brownish pink. Supermodel is that slightly darker more brownish version of a 90s lip almost. And Walk Of No Shame is that sexy muddy redish for those that don't want a full on red, but still want that sexy redish lip look. I actually love to apply this shade only on the inner part of the lip on top of any other nude. They are more expensive, but in my opinion worth it. Plus this mini trio has all the shades you may need and small format is great to carry in your bag.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6oPXqr9OqmhcnBmZfymEZBXW0DgqkFOSLY8y1vIqb-FDAMILUAwa33QQiEW_teZgWYNmSOR2Yu2t33-bXK6Rpm60zLPxjjcd7uQuN47Z8p4qS59RyOXzzxd2SxDLZAPNmeiK8ovOPc9t108K0cj1_BCcpVRaDYq9wemOt1_d7qq6dBG40oPWrpDLfoAh-/s1200/rephr35brush.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6oPXqr9OqmhcnBmZfymEZBXW0DgqkFOSLY8y1vIqb-FDAMILUAwa33QQiEW_teZgWYNmSOR2Yu2t33-bXK6Rpm60zLPxjjcd7uQuN47Z8p4qS59RyOXzzxd2SxDLZAPNmeiK8ovOPc9t108K0cj1_BCcpVRaDYq9wemOt1_d7qq6dBG40oPWrpDLfoAh-/s16000/rephr35brush.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rephr 35 Brush</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I believe I have bought most of my Rephr brushes in 2022, but in 2023 I've been repurchasing new ones and brush 35 is one of my favorites from the newly purchased. It's rounded brush, slightly bigger than an eye brush and it's perfect for blending concealer. I have only been using this brush for concealer since I got it. There is something about the size, it's not too big, but also not tiny, so you can quickly blend concealer underneath your eyes, around the nose and over larger areas. I even like to apply concealer on larger pimles and then just stipple it with this brush. Rephr brushes are made of goat hair, but they work really well with cream formulas too. They are super soft and great quality that will probably last you a lifetime. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLEnZKqVZcidBvmFhtxKnVXcjnpjyMRV7o4arB4ihBY51OrWMck7WNutsw5IbClsR3uzs4VFN7H6RJLyG_cRfvpnrr7OqimwK44gGn7isHF0Sw2fMfqSyX7gYiKkMdWnQAeAkVSVhW0a6Er1YVLbGBR9Fo-ANms5MWX3aa44uXyajWsj_EKbjgcy_QWglj/s1200/skinfairytaleatopicbalm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLEnZKqVZcidBvmFhtxKnVXcjnpjyMRV7o4arB4ihBY51OrWMck7WNutsw5IbClsR3uzs4VFN7H6RJLyG_cRfvpnrr7OqimwK44gGn7isHF0Sw2fMfqSyX7gYiKkMdWnQAeAkVSVhW0a6Er1YVLbGBR9Fo-ANms5MWX3aa44uXyajWsj_EKbjgcy_QWglj/s16000/skinfairytaleatopicbalm.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Skinfairytale Atopicbalm</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">This is one of the creams that has helped me with my eczema in the past year. It contains calamine, mineral which is used to treat itchiness. It also contains evening primrose oil and black cumin oil. Calamine gives it light pink color and mango butter as a base makes it buttery. Calamine is great for taming that itchy feel that you know, if you have similar problems. Other ingredients support the skin to heal faster. I use it when I have those inflamed dyshidrotic bubbles that itch so bad and look so irritated. This cream helps it to at least feel a bit less itchy and I feel that it also helps them dry out faster. It's been a lifesaver in those outbursts of eczema. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQsccqb_kT84Lk1uYf-8jI4F3HechA7YpXo51PQKvA2M__LhIr2i4SXFNZ6Jv7weOSNUCS28vqf5T-7TlYCVvx8A1z7sg8ol6hU9_9dxBzS2gXesBKFKZ6x_VWbS7Fz-Q9DUknVLx9tgtwmi0wrvV7xCd0cjUWIxZuubx82_BFsV-xotIjyd7hvwlrhYA6/s1200/redkenvolumeinjection.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQsccqb_kT84Lk1uYf-8jI4F3HechA7YpXo51PQKvA2M__LhIr2i4SXFNZ6Jv7weOSNUCS28vqf5T-7TlYCVvx8A1z7sg8ol6hU9_9dxBzS2gXesBKFKZ6x_VWbS7Fz-Q9DUknVLx9tgtwmi0wrvV7xCd0cjUWIxZuubx82_BFsV-xotIjyd7hvwlrhYA6/s16000/redkenvolumeinjection.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Redken Volume Injection Shampoo And Conditioner</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I came upon a few videos of a hairdresser that recommended this duo for those of us with thin hair. Since I hadn't had much luck with drugstore shampoos of actually giving me volume and I have very thin hair that just looks so flat and gets greasy super quick, I wanted something more. So I bought and used up one shampoo already and then I repurchased shampoo and got conditioner from the same range. I feel like both of these definitely clean my hair well and leave it lightweight. That's why it looks more full, but it also has their Bodifying Complex with Filoxane that helps to make look hair more full and gives it some body as well as volume. Shmapoo is a liquid that lathers well. Conditioner is also very light. It almost feels like nothing. Shampoo cleans my hair well and conditioner gives it just enough nourishment so that it doesn't tangle, but it still leaves it light. When you have thin hair you need all the help you can get and so far I love this combo. It does what is says. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-15511743181474430202024-01-11T11:02:00.000+01:002024-01-11T11:02:43.770+01:00December 2023 Favorites<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9orZlh0mz42KT3eL1U3ez_6QOqurZslsAkB-dQzHt2udMsHUYLxn-4FmpwfIFv6KrSZVbsyISZyM9zg7XrRJnFfWgpRDkyP6BGY0EeEJLPkMiQtU8QHCI11GndRKEumGgxMa8J1PmWn2sGTTwJSwteUc_MKhq73Wh5AXNqexAT7DQ9dloZ3ahnSHbJBoa/s1762/december2023favorites1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1762" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9orZlh0mz42KT3eL1U3ez_6QOqurZslsAkB-dQzHt2udMsHUYLxn-4FmpwfIFv6KrSZVbsyISZyM9zg7XrRJnFfWgpRDkyP6BGY0EeEJLPkMiQtU8QHCI11GndRKEumGgxMa8J1PmWn2sGTTwJSwteUc_MKhq73Wh5AXNqexAT7DQ9dloZ3ahnSHbJBoa/s16000/december2023favorites1.jpg" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNJKD24bfNQ7RnPwteZe4f4EMdGc6tP9OxJG1yDF37FVeGwQQr98ym9PHlnqNTHYhyKvJ0k37qlwBiKPU3Jz1Cr-Borjp5PrRUocOmcH6ETubg8iOncR4bRlvBaJW6dloPteUNK0cadF-XzF78ovynSqIqiQCgApfbOfJEj4gFhwylcVsD3o5nIwerBxcH/s1644/december2023favorites2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1644" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNJKD24bfNQ7RnPwteZe4f4EMdGc6tP9OxJG1yDF37FVeGwQQr98ym9PHlnqNTHYhyKvJ0k37qlwBiKPU3Jz1Cr-Borjp5PrRUocOmcH6ETubg8iOncR4bRlvBaJW6dloPteUNK0cadF-XzF78ovynSqIqiQCgApfbOfJEj4gFhwylcVsD3o5nIwerBxcH/s16000/december2023favorites2.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Redken Volume Injection Shampoo and Conditioner</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I saw this being recommended for us with fine hair. Volume Injection line contains Redken's Bodifying Complex with Filoxane - bodifying agent that adds thickness to hair. It's designed for fine hair to help clean oils on the scalp and give the hair more body. Shampoo has a milky white texture that cleanses the hair well, but still leaves it lightweight and doesn't weigh it down as some nourishing shampoos can. Especially on my very fine hair. I've had shampoo for about 4 months now and then I decided to buy conditioner as well as repurchased shampoo. Conditioner is very light cream, it's a lot lighter than I am used to having in my collection. But it also means my hair feels lightweight after I use, though still soft and nourished. It provides volume at the root and adds body to hair with Filoxane. Using both of these I have definitely noticed that my hair isn't as flat after I wash it and it feels soft as well as lightweight. I have switched to using these high end shampoos every time I wash my hair, because it helps my oily scalp to look more clean and stay oil free looking for longer, though I still can't prolong the wash for a whole day. I find this duo to be great option for fine hair that wants clean scalp and lightweight hair that doesn't look flat. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKENG0nt324B3sc6TNfjKWhd1Cj4l_26C6uyYFx_PEab-vY-5kscmBmRWkntVV-h_j-oOKe7m1EIeiFQaWMojrp-yDfrltwUeYiVqKd-jX82fvEjCFo5aECduxfoIHXGFLG9zalRVEMwwuNEDdhByMJySPavOZwzDPLyQvJh0TjQxUKUKQrdn-faezPslN/s1800/december2023favorites3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKENG0nt324B3sc6TNfjKWhd1Cj4l_26C6uyYFx_PEab-vY-5kscmBmRWkntVV-h_j-oOKe7m1EIeiFQaWMojrp-yDfrltwUeYiVqKd-jX82fvEjCFo5aECduxfoIHXGFLG9zalRVEMwwuNEDdhByMJySPavOZwzDPLyQvJh0TjQxUKUKQrdn-faezPslN/s16000/december2023favorites3.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Skintra Everything What Your Skin Will Love</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Let me start with the title. It bothers me deeply. There is just something about the name that sounds wrong to me. I am not a translator by any means, but wouldn't it sound better: Everything That Your Skin Will Love?! It's just one of those things that I asses whenever I read the title and it bothers me. But back to the product itself. It's a prebiotic toner with galactomyces ferment filtrate, azeloglycine, inulin and niacinamide. There is also squalane and allantoin in the formula. It's technically a tonic, but can be used as serum or even moisturizer. Formula is like a thicker than toner, but lighter than cream. It's like thicker serum, but feels super smooth once you apply it. You feel emollient base to it which gives the skin nourishment and moisturizes it, but in a fairly lightweight way. It moisturizes the skin, makes it feel soft and smooth, restore skin's barrier with prebiotics and brightens the skin as well. It really is such a nice formula ingredients wise as well as the effect it has on the skin. I immediately noticed my skin looked brighter and more even toned. There was that plump and soft feel to the skin, but surprisingly without and acids. It's also just moisturizing enough that I can wear it on its own and sometimes without the moisturizer on top. I use it in the morning after a wash and in the evening after a wash and before moisturizer. This is something that every skin would probably love. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2019/03/review-cosrx-advanced-snail-96-mucin.html" target="_blank">COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I know when I eat all over the place, my skin protests with pimples.

It's just the best for healing the skin. It looks viscose and feels super lightweight, but almost creates a barrier on the skin and it always helps with healing process.

It provides enough of a sun protection for winter and I love that it has no scent. It's cheap, has enough product in it to last a few months and it comes in a convenient tube packaging. I would definitely repurchase it again. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4iQCOlhG5D_xF49_aSFNRhCyIrkTCRxpYcVQeF9MrN2cbjIL_9F0GT0a6FtED-aFl_zfFxrssDKhMADSiqTHPDxqeKji5wPaRhsij4YrVwVxX2hbuBGvBxrPfWNUy3HvoihBL4piXGbny0D26KjuSQbDJKAXZgdQ72zGU-9WGJNpy23phQJQBPpu5xoOL/s1621/december2023favorites5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1621" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4iQCOlhG5D_xF49_aSFNRhCyIrkTCRxpYcVQeF9MrN2cbjIL_9F0GT0a6FtED-aFl_zfFxrssDKhMADSiqTHPDxqeKji5wPaRhsij4YrVwVxX2hbuBGvBxrPfWNUy3HvoihBL4piXGbny0D26KjuSQbDJKAXZgdQ72zGU-9WGJNpy23phQJQBPpu5xoOL/s16000/december2023favorites5.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/07/review-yves-saint-laurent-all-hours.html" target="_blank">Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation Luminous Matte - LW8</a></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When I want foundation that looks good on my combination skin, lasts all day, feels lightweight, yet covers well, I go for YSL All Hours.

I need very little to cover my whole face, because it has great pigmentation. It looks matte, but with luminousity that looks like real skin. It lasts all day long. It's one of the most long lasting foundations I have had so far. Shade LW8 is also perfect, because it has that olive tone to it. I have nothing bad to say, except I wish it was cheaper so I would use it every day. Now I save it for those special occasions when I want my makeup to last all day. It's one of the rare foundations that I don't have to powder through the day now in the winter, because my sebum doesn't get through. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbvbh__JrSv3amwF5TEWN0O_cuph2H5JWGYtUcoJSW11ah3wyU0VjVqMS-bb6sGR6irOCBoruwlmS79e1lU948265swgyD4jvHwMBlDQo237HMnK0qTX9tnf5IriU4QAWWXc-YnblMJUtD1CZeTgzTWTwHJ1yJGa1Ir4MnAxxq0c1CFfQfRsYRGAhupZll/s1200/december2023favorites6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbvbh__JrSv3amwF5TEWN0O_cuph2H5JWGYtUcoJSW11ah3wyU0VjVqMS-bb6sGR6irOCBoruwlmS79e1lU948265swgyD4jvHwMBlDQo237HMnK0qTX9tnf5IriU4QAWWXc-YnblMJUtD1CZeTgzTWTwHJ1yJGa1Ir4MnAxxq0c1CFfQfRsYRGAhupZll/s16000/december2023favorites6.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/04/review-charlotte-tillbury-airbrush.html" target="_blank">Charlote Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder - Fair</a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Another favorite for special occasions.

It's not something to use, if you want to keep certain parts sebum free. This is more for just an all around dusting and especially nice under the eyes and around large pores to blur them and make the skin look super smooth.

So I recently bought a used mini version of their Ambient Lighting Blush. It's the shade Mood Exposure. I believe these are baked blushed and each is unique, because you get a unique pattern. So some have more of the lighter shade and some more of the darker. In the pan it looks very similar to my favorite <a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2019/03/review-lov-blushment-blurring-blush-30.html" target="_blank">LOV Blushment Blurring Blushes</a> which are discontinued sadly. It's a drier super smooth formula that has good pigment. It has almost like a luminous lighter part and then a darker blush part. Finish is definitely luminous. It gives you that healthy sheen that isn't shimmery. Mood Exposure looks like a mauve in the pan, but on my skin tone it translates into a more warmer muted pink shade. You can't overdo it, because it blends like a dream and even though it's pigmented the shade itself isn't too vibrant. This is one of those shades that would suit all light to medium skin tones. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHlV5BQiVOdjVTMA-98DqRb-BZRob_65H8klVe4mz23JrsE2VdQv2jEc_BqhnRNLi2Bee8j6-WGQrVsadM2neeT8ybreJoIphWvGMEEyp-2RVbQiZSK6vq7YUwYjXOWArBePRF5XmzV6tGCIvEu_GBoxT0wsvfH1Q44XohB6jjlRKc1QU-JJh6BkKNiIbu/s1200/december2023favorites7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHlV5BQiVOdjVTMA-98DqRb-BZRob_65H8klVe4mz23JrsE2VdQv2jEc_BqhnRNLi2Bee8j6-WGQrVsadM2neeT8ybreJoIphWvGMEEyp-2RVbQiZSK6vq7YUwYjXOWArBePRF5XmzV6tGCIvEu_GBoxT0wsvfH1Q44XohB6jjlRKc1QU-JJh6BkKNiIbu/s16000/december2023favorites7.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pierre Rene Single Eyeshadow - 003</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I bought this eyeshadow on some Poland online shop, while I was getting some other pigments as well. I really didn't think of it much, it was cheap and it looked nice. But oh my, this is so pretty. I've been using it all December. It's super smooth formula that has a lot of different colored shimmers - mostly pink and silver. The base is almost like a pale champagne white. you can lightly tap it on the lid to get a few sparkles here and there or go full in for that almost wet like winter shimmer sparkly lid. It reminds me of Colourpop Super Shock Shadows, but in a powder form which doesn't dry out and you can make it as transparent or as opaque as you would like. It's such a pretty shade. Blend it over any boring matte shade to make your eyes look almost glossy. </div></div>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-26223083796428099502023-12-30T14:35:00.001+01:002023-12-30T14:35:51.425+01:00Review: Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink - 15 Peachy<p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Inks</b> aren't new product.

Are they also comfortable and very sophisticated in formula? No. Does that matter? It depends on what you are looking for and especially how you are using it. I think such formulas should be used in a thin layer. Maybe layer lip liner under it for more colors and let it set well. It will still feel a little sticky, but if you are looking for a formula that isn't matte, but has a shine to it and lasts all day long then this is definitely a good drugstore option. </div></div></div>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-7233254779312602652023-12-04T14:59:00.000+01:002023-12-04T14:59:47.477+01:00November 2023 Favorites<p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFdMX6-zHNUHWD3qSSb1AAja-9lg2a1fPt9gwlsi3NN8GD3Va4fzshhl1xxS04UQQSdbT3RjSMQup-ZM1ZvQXK3pkBgD3W2nCMjrJMwJ4okmO6B5xwdYkgTb2NWBd9aNHE8K_yeGxyd4XlHRZLKdvSGn8-G5juLXOL8kHEZ8xZyEV-sFCtuygkrd-ArBoi/s1800/november2023favorites1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFdMX6-zHNUHWD3qSSb1AAja-9lg2a1fPt9gwlsi3NN8GD3Va4fzshhl1xxS04UQQSdbT3RjSMQup-ZM1ZvQXK3pkBgD3W2nCMjrJMwJ4okmO6B5xwdYkgTb2NWBd9aNHE8K_yeGxyd4XlHRZLKdvSGn8-G5juLXOL8kHEZ8xZyEV-sFCtuygkrd-ArBoi/s16000/november2023favorites1.jpg" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirdpeHzbYqRXarl_HwI77gB2_ej9RkLpQWkRpgDsH9XpnSuOAGSrQTfFxUHdCQy4wI7qsSrUh4t7W2nJxRwbSL0_eypzWhX2zh4Xp0sB_53Ky4Upj4TICQvQhxZ9-h48HvUBGZi24HRd-6A4LADzDZ29BsuGVHeFhRp1BqYM2xLNEG1E7FRyCCwhIR0pXJ/s1767/november2023favorites2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1767" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirdpeHzbYqRXarl_HwI77gB2_ej9RkLpQWkRpgDsH9XpnSuOAGSrQTfFxUHdCQy4wI7qsSrUh4t7W2nJxRwbSL0_eypzWhX2zh4Xp0sB_53Ky4Upj4TICQvQhxZ9-h48HvUBGZi24HRd-6A4LADzDZ29BsuGVHeFhRp1BqYM2xLNEG1E7FRyCCwhIR0pXJ/s16000/november2023favorites2.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Hadalabo Tokyo Gentle Hydrating Cleanser All-in-one</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cleansers are the first thing I use up in my skin care along cleansing oils and micellar waters, because I wear makeup almost everyday. Plus I have combination skin, so I always cleanse in the morning as well. I was always a fan of cheaper options for cleansing, but lately I've been trying out what's there. Some are more worth it than others. Hadalabo is thicker white cream that is fragrance free, contains hyaluronic acid and turs into a nice leather once it touched the water. You need a pea size and this will last you I'd say at least two months of regular use. It feels lovely on the skin and after I take it off, the skin is supple, soft and clean. It doesn't leave any kind of layer on it, but it also doesn't dry it out or make it squeaky clean to the point of being uncomfortable.

This foundation has surprisingly thick consistency, but then once you blend it out, you can sheer it out to a lighter medium coverage. It contains vitamin C, panthenol and squalane which makes it nicely moisturizing with a sort of radiant finish that gives you some sheen. It's an interesting formula, because it's quite thick, yet it doesn't look heavy or obvious on the skin and the radiant finish doesn't look shiny on my combination skin either. I'd say this is the perfect medium coverage foundation for winter when you want that bit of sheen and don't need a full heavy coverage. And cudos to whoever was choosing the shade for me, because it's perfect, warm but almost a bit olive toned. I couldn't have picked it better myself. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Paese x Krzyszkowska Creamy Bronzer - Tan Kissed 02</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I believe this is part of some collaboration, but it's a creamy bronzer. I absolutely love the shade of it, because it has that greyish tone which is perfect for lighter skin tone and can act almost as a contour as well. Most such bronzers lean warmer, but I actually prefer cooler tone, because I can define my face with it as well not just warm up. It's quite thick, so you need stiff brush to pick it up, but pigmentation is there. It's easy to blend as well. I only wish it would stay on the skin better. I notice it fading through the day and it's a lot less intense. I would need to powder over it with a powder bronzer to make it last.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqZ1mZHfA17t6qbDk5aJOZSMwK3r4LSOdjWtm85G2izAbEMFuPOxlA3DyQjNHgq6ZA-2vBnADBEazUMtjA4sl5NxoeU_vhmCn4yJO41g5LwEt4-9l9KpXtOnFo1elVCZ43byyvdfWsgDF7OoG6lzflkLP6Ds-6cOK8TsurATH8E1AyFV6DaYFhOb87wIA9/s1200/november2023favorites6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqZ1mZHfA17t6qbDk5aJOZSMwK3r4LSOdjWtm85G2izAbEMFuPOxlA3DyQjNHgq6ZA-2vBnADBEazUMtjA4sl5NxoeU_vhmCn4yJO41g5LwEt4-9l9KpXtOnFo1elVCZ43byyvdfWsgDF7OoG6lzflkLP6Ds-6cOK8TsurATH8E1AyFV6DaYFhOb87wIA9/s16000/november2023favorites6.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Catrice LE Magic Christmas Story Cheeklighter - C01 Mother Ginger</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Another Limited Edition product from Catrice and it's their Christmas collection from this year. They call it cheeklighter and it's basically creamy highlighter with a sponge applicator (looks like a copy of Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wands). This is pale champagne shade which I love. It's not too yellowish gold, but also not too white, just perfect. It's super easy to stamp on and blend with just fingers.

As the weather turned cold, I reached for creamier textures which look better over any texture and look less drying on the skin. Rare Beauty liquid blushes are legendary by now and for a good reason. Highly pigmented, easy to apply and blend and they stay on pretty much as intense through the day. Shade Hope is dewier finish so it gives you that glow as well. You can almost skip highlighter. It's the perfect wearable warm medium pink.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZL9bLtB5H58VpCJMD8RknTDcr-jHivgbzxIny18Trj14qbQ0JBvNVwKRhgLrTC8oKoCVv3USFUhbEUB6da28Bu66Io9D2A7UWB0xiuR8Bjiplivv2aZ7AeKlhyN2wDrLHJOYL76IzDmz0ApUsK88Datvzc_9lbBlnp4JWiNUAEX_czLlBwpo4DiwBI0dD/s1200/november2023favorites7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZL9bLtB5H58VpCJMD8RknTDcr-jHivgbzxIny18Trj14qbQ0JBvNVwKRhgLrTC8oKoCVv3USFUhbEUB6da28Bu66Io9D2A7UWB0xiuR8Bjiplivv2aZ7AeKlhyN2wDrLHJOYL76IzDmz0ApUsK88Datvzc_9lbBlnp4JWiNUAEX_czLlBwpo4DiwBI0dD/s16000/november2023favorites7.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Too Cool For School Artclass by Rodin Shading - Modern</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I tried this in the summer and it was too pale for my skin then, but now it actually works. This is very light cool grey toned contour with three shades. The lightest one is even too light for me. I love to use the second one as nose contour, because it's light enough that it won't look obvious, but it will still give me that definition and shade. The darkest one I can use as cheek contour and under the jaw line. Because it's so light I can't overdue it. I can go in heavy and it doesn't look like too much. This is perfect for very pale skin tone and light can also make it work. It has smooth powdery texture and it's easy to blend. It feels almost satin like, not completely matte. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcKncyH1CrnxoOrUNC7wPtTN1vRwjxTu6s5EkLndkYWjMitjznsbQIsuviCb62kap5ZvoIKQmgT0JzhS0Jp9N0koYreh3OqTdIxydLmVIIxp3z7-Gcr6Hza0kK4pXN85Vhf5V2Z5Vg4a-mslKW67HjZ7NVhgpLXaK4wDWZmOXiQ35RNoCk7PPVEs2hHMtV/s1200/november2023favorites5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcKncyH1CrnxoOrUNC7wPtTN1vRwjxTu6s5EkLndkYWjMitjznsbQIsuviCb62kap5ZvoIKQmgT0JzhS0Jp9N0koYreh3OqTdIxydLmVIIxp3z7-Gcr6Hza0kK4pXN85Vhf5V2Z5Vg4a-mslKW67HjZ7NVhgpLXaK4wDWZmOXiQ35RNoCk7PPVEs2hHMtV/s16000/november2023favorites5.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Paese Eyeshadow Palette -Warm Crush</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Such a fun color combination of this palette which is pretty perfect for autumn and winter. It has variety of matte from nude to warmer pinkish pink to darker red and brown. Then you also have pinkish champagne shimmery shade to highlight, warm gold for the lid and a very fun duochrome sparkly shade that has sort of a brownish base with pinkish green flip to it. It almost makes your lids look glossy and sparkly, but not cheap looking. Mattes are very well pigmented and super smooth. Shimmery shades are drier to the touch and are usually best applies with fingers, especially on the lid. It's a really nice palette with good quality.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbsFHN4qKGGwaVlEtyURS8Q0lSZaGAoS6IoNEiqo21YtBIf93t85vebx294mDzTsLb_nbbzpZEXKc2gtXy1Cv2oxuGkfotL2yUanWIA7BDaUq20IQvTgCOZkzXWlTp21R5mvZj3r1VApsBoP2aU-3BWLtCL3MdcUhs6-Hiz9NqraJUAA3Wvb_XmRndLZDB/s1200/november2023favorites8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbsFHN4qKGGwaVlEtyURS8Q0lSZaGAoS6IoNEiqo21YtBIf93t85vebx294mDzTsLb_nbbzpZEXKc2gtXy1Cv2oxuGkfotL2yUanWIA7BDaUq20IQvTgCOZkzXWlTp21R5mvZj3r1VApsBoP2aU-3BWLtCL3MdcUhs6-Hiz9NqraJUAA3Wvb_XmRndLZDB/s16000/november2023favorites8.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Kiko LE Sweet Affairs Sweet Kiss Lip Stylo - 01</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I got this lipstick last year and I'll admit it looked just too dark and chocolate to me then, but I've since grown to love it. It's that shiny gel formula that is so easy to wear. Shade is like that proper warm chocolate that on its own can look a bit weird on my skin tone, but I usually apply cooler nude lip liner all over my lips and than this over it with a sheer layer and somehow it works for me then. I've grown to really love brownish lip tones on me especially this past month. It's that bold color, that is not the usual my-lip-but-better shade and it matches my warm golden hair highlights so well. Plus the shiny sleek packaging with magnetic closing is just so chic.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-19795174223601772222023-11-17T17:05:00.005+01:002023-11-17T17:05:57.480+01:00Asian Skincare 2: Kose, Haruharu, Pyunkang Yul, Laneige, AHC, Beauty of Joseon<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6YZNYvA7RR2kmn1lIXZbISowQSTTNRbRduT7Hd_9_lbjMDhBn7nYmg55oYEEJgC1EwxWQ-TyBMmHFhMT0qc5L3vO7oT1RWkk5rA1JazcnZ3LO59apOKqgmHL7rIk132HhsBF7hyphenhyphenVInhDJWBSqfK6FI-IFHwqYAEIxcz8uOrOpqhSPQoFtbt9hbt3P8hnq/s1800/asinskncarepart2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6YZNYvA7RR2kmn1lIXZbISowQSTTNRbRduT7Hd_9_lbjMDhBn7nYmg55oYEEJgC1EwxWQ-TyBMmHFhMT0qc5L3vO7oT1RWkk5rA1JazcnZ3LO59apOKqgmHL7rIk132HhsBF7hyphenhyphenVInhDJWBSqfK6FI-IFHwqYAEIxcz8uOrOpqhSPQoFtbt9hbt3P8hnq/s16000/asinskncarepart2.jpg" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnz18ZXflpu8M55w3cMPBd9SjbclT9CZqGP0HxB0n0jPQbVzrQFMdgc1AoC1CAix2vsdxx1XvrkJiJq99tqwBnGQXYwZdIkEgy915QdmDIIJv6xEJOLdtfPI_98J3nbWIAYyb7EBm_WfhBJvNYKbLubi6fFli9yuNREW4t9Gu9_JK7SP3mhk2HP6m377WX/s1608/softymokosespeedycleansingoil1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1608" data-original-width="1086" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnz18ZXflpu8M55w3cMPBd9SjbclT9CZqGP0HxB0n0jPQbVzrQFMdgc1AoC1CAix2vsdxx1XvrkJiJq99tqwBnGQXYwZdIkEgy915QdmDIIJv6xEJOLdtfPI_98J3nbWIAYyb7EBm_WfhBJvNYKbLubi6fFli9yuNREW4t9Gu9_JK7SP3mhk2HP6m377WX/s16000/softymokosespeedycleansingoil1.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's one of those typical thin and lightweight cleansing oils that you don't need a lot.

There is no scent to it either. Pump packaging is nice and works fine. I actually got it because it was one of the cheapest cleansing oils. Plus I already both refills which come in a bag and are even cheaper, which I love.

It's a very basic transparent gel formula that lathers a bit. It cleanse off any traces of makeup and is good for a morning cleanse as well, because it's gentle and unscented.

It's like a thick white cream that has tiny barely noticeable grains which exfoliate the skin along with witch hazel. There is also my favorite centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, tea tree extract and beat glucan. It comes out like thick cream and once you add water it turns into a foam. You need the tinniest bit possible, which is also why this will last you for such a long time and it's worth the price ( I must have had it for four months). Pea size is enough for the whole face. My skin always felt so cleansed, polished and soft after I used it. It almost felt like a gentle acidic cleanser - though it doesn't seem to contain any BHA or AHA.

It's a nice moisturizer, especially for summer, though I would probably find something similar that is a bit cheaper.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Full size contains 50 ml and it costs around 35€.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfejGuoWjXNhxC66hn_EsJjYHpZz1LXS3O8XGOY5fh9uyYPDRC-DEoljUCFADO7M9_HvNhpyU8Y5sr4cvjlzziCGvwG9l43z7LxT8skODo6hTwsZ3wWn_T4Am80jk1Op_rkQburlAHdI_U60AJpr-n7ySPSN_C38bkJzpUCph-XwlP6uBQBwqZ5zGqa7zN/s1200/laneigewaterbankbluehyaluronicgelmoisturizer3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfejGuoWjXNhxC66hn_EsJjYHpZz1LXS3O8XGOY5fh9uyYPDRC-DEoljUCFADO7M9_HvNhpyU8Y5sr4cvjlzziCGvwG9l43z7LxT8skODo6hTwsZ3wWn_T4Am80jk1Op_rkQburlAHdI_U60AJpr-n7ySPSN_C38bkJzpUCph-XwlP6uBQBwqZ5zGqa7zN/s16000/laneigewaterbankbluehyaluronicgelmoisturizer3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRNSTHxAOeaHFZTJA0A7J3VQY2ggzbtTMRmgebWLDzAI_YpbCqu865h4WPUTSBQ2ww-y2huAqwBseYqzD1gzAjurpvnkKdmKpSJDKG09iwSkAID_pDrPo8k0kMT0vNdivBi10oQRoyDhyphenhyphenc9pja7LK3fYYc3A3XZSpOmrqUgdF1ku9WkeR6Bjcqpb9UkAyI/s1200/laneigewaterbankbluehyaluronicgelmoisturizer2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="849" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRNSTHxAOeaHFZTJA0A7J3VQY2ggzbtTMRmgebWLDzAI_YpbCqu865h4WPUTSBQ2ww-y2huAqwBseYqzD1gzAjurpvnkKdmKpSJDKG09iwSkAID_pDrPo8k0kMT0vNdivBi10oQRoyDhyphenhyphenc9pja7LK3fYYc3A3XZSpOmrqUgdF1ku9WkeR6Bjcqpb9UkAyI/s16000/laneigewaterbankbluehyaluronicgelmoisturizer2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-pBT9FvgU2BQIEcgrjAgIbYRaB1Ryd-5DeLeGc8y4AGyGpvA0HGlci6LTOkqyR7XBhjRyAez_GutJDGIHxbZMaYVUjfYTq22DVtRV4nR-5x5C94rs9PvL6e1NtASrFyjTO4hvdUL7fmRrFpYNNYj5wJ3P6RUsER0QWJ0uva24HFQ_M0IQDGYZcrjmxYzH/s1800/ahcyouthlastingrealeyecreamforface1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-pBT9FvgU2BQIEcgrjAgIbYRaB1Ryd-5DeLeGc8y4AGyGpvA0HGlci6LTOkqyR7XBhjRyAez_GutJDGIHxbZMaYVUjfYTq22DVtRV4nR-5x5C94rs9PvL6e1NtASrFyjTO4hvdUL7fmRrFpYNNYj5wJ3P6RUsER0QWJ0uva24HFQ_M0IQDGYZcrjmxYzH/s16000/ahcyouthlastingrealeyecreamforface1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>AHC Youth Lasting Real Eye Cream For Face</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">It's an eye cream that can also be used on the face. I don't expect a lot from my eye creams, I just wish them to be a bit richer than my face moisturizer and maybe have some anti-aging ingredients to help in the long run keep it as it is. This one contains peptides and it's apparently anti-aging as well as brightening. I don't have major issues with dark under eyes, so I can't say about that. It's one of those thicker creams that still feels very lightweight and it applies smooth like a silicon primer. It gives you needed moisture and nourishment around the eyes, but doesn't clog my pores or feels heavy in any way. I'd say this is that nicely rich, but lightweight texture that you'll love, if you are not in your 20s anymore. Plus it's a huge tube that lasted me at least a year. It is scented, if that bothers you around the eyes. I would definitely repurchase it, because I love the texture.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">In it is 30 ml and I believe I got it for around 10€. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUlOzvYzj6BMVqQfdt5hFx2Lx6eO3JuT9RMnuESesxE9UB321Xadc0ch7ZQupeCyJfHSoHoBSv5ze4mQx_HKoY2fUN_zZNQG8FpMZduyEoKVnGMqI_Eu4gukVkY2DFvO2wB_IxORyw4V3jh1GWrDQupA-cC43ZE2mmwuYB7-rvssgNovueiINyveIq8jG_/s1008/beautyofjoseonreliefsunriceprobioticsspf50_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1008" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUlOzvYzj6BMVqQfdt5hFx2Lx6eO3JuT9RMnuESesxE9UB321Xadc0ch7ZQupeCyJfHSoHoBSv5ze4mQx_HKoY2fUN_zZNQG8FpMZduyEoKVnGMqI_Eu4gukVkY2DFvO2wB_IxORyw4V3jh1GWrDQupA-cC43ZE2mmwuYB7-rvssgNovueiINyveIq8jG_/s16000/beautyofjoseonreliefsunriceprobioticsspf50_1.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's one of the most popular Asian SPFs and I can understand why. I would say this is thicker than your usual gel type of Asian sunscreens, but still lighter than EU sunscreens. It has quite a rich texture that blends into the ski well. On darker skin there would probably be some white cast left over. I personally like it, but it wasn't the best for my summer skin. I feel like this is perfect for normal and dry skin, eventually for combination skin as well, but not for oily. People that want's glow to the skin and a nourishing feel that isn't to heavy, will love it. It also doesn't have any scent, so sensitive skin will like it to. I have other favorites from Asian brands, but wouldn't mind using it again especially in winter. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">In it is 50 ml of product and I got it for around 11€. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE01Af4wc3_DlKlKNMLJnjAllhWQECsfa0n8cXB-mOe9MtYrmXF23qOUrIPDHBKCF3J9z27CmEA-7eb5TqgYAUsH0y8AqgtPlB3lRqk31fMmVaJ2EzcePXGaBgVAynABuk-CVop4kYnRO5ufhqm01-UXBftXi_EyATTVAgeIddSz7YB9Y9Pn-xISZhVU07/s1200/beautyofjoseonreliefsunriceprobioticsspf50_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="752" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE01Af4wc3_DlKlKNMLJnjAllhWQECsfa0n8cXB-mOe9MtYrmXF23qOUrIPDHBKCF3J9z27CmEA-7eb5TqgYAUsH0y8AqgtPlB3lRqk31fMmVaJ2EzcePXGaBgVAynABuk-CVop4kYnRO5ufhqm01-UXBftXi_EyATTVAgeIddSz7YB9Y9Pn-xISZhVU07/s16000/beautyofjoseonreliefsunriceprobioticsspf50_2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUPf-GBX63BUXLmcchhSNULHVaL10IPAb5oIYFmLGl_AI9RPrZJP78NEF8UtVxHwvB_BvMjhePOXXdtBOyKo3XgC-b9JpSjXaPTKTOiR3npaYgbLsQkWjsSYsSXbXeI5747lzAnPPJHqhkfsG8V_RMXNIwsfvmpDsFeC1c8tHN1YMqX0dHlMtUj5GyQQF/s1200/laneigelipsleepingmaskexberry1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLUPf-GBX63BUXLmcchhSNULHVaL10IPAb5oIYFmLGl_AI9RPrZJP78NEF8UtVxHwvB_BvMjhePOXXdtBOyKo3XgC-b9JpSjXaPTKTOiR3npaYgbLsQkWjsSYsSXbXeI5747lzAnPPJHqhkfsG8V_RMXNIwsfvmpDsFeC1c8tHN1YMqX0dHlMtUj5GyQQF/s16000/laneigelipsleepingmaskexberry1.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask EX Berry</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is a mini version of the infamous Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. I have the EX version and upon the research, I have found that this is apparently a newer formulation that has perfume higher on the list (so stronger scent), has added coconut oil and apparently shorter list of ingredients than the original version. It also promises to kind of exfoliate your lips through the night, so you wake up with more supple and less flaky lips. I am not sure what the original version is like, but this one is just fine. I wouldn't say it's anything special and I wouldn't use it to help heal very dry lips, because it doesn't. This is just a very comforting thicker lip formula that stick well on the lips and protects them from outer aggressors. I don't find it particularly moisturizing or nourishing, it's just good for day wear. Mine has berry scent which I like, but they have many scents available and many mini versions especially for holiday which are nice gifts. I will still use my Bepanthen in the evening to keep my lips in perfect shape.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">This mini version contains 3 grams and it costs around 3€. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibk6R8ZyoPWSopONARb6vGnMsXtCEe98e_ehijwbdRqUjYRQG5lkEeyDem_hRrKrMC8z4bpDTDCfuow4FSDQXkeKPlPhnG2Jxj7ochA6zJp9ziPqWFRrJ3q0LgWGnK5YIJ63cKcEZ5VLRe3uZkuITWQS-G_C7RQLV44E0KcSC_0V5WqqWvR_X7BX696axY/s1200/laneigelipsleepingmaskexberry2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibk6R8ZyoPWSopONARb6vGnMsXtCEe98e_ehijwbdRqUjYRQG5lkEeyDem_hRrKrMC8z4bpDTDCfuow4FSDQXkeKPlPhnG2Jxj7ochA6zJp9ziPqWFRrJ3q0LgWGnK5YIJ63cKcEZ5VLRe3uZkuITWQS-G_C7RQLV44E0KcSC_0V5WqqWvR_X7BX696axY/s16000/laneigelipsleepingmaskexberry2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-pynZWdNI-SA02n0H-8lY8pJv2SkviedX-5fJc9lwzRhPeL37nK80nj5WALsdGwCHWgYcS00WEQ9mVxSZT5i9_cpU73M1AJBnF2kbqQvB3FwJjMgSZL8nshHqI145QL3onijzevAVBpNV6k300ztOA5kzhUXu4A9ESuhfFV2dDEik2Mo5W__3xxim90NL/s1200/laneigelipsleepingmaskexberry3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-pynZWdNI-SA02n0H-8lY8pJv2SkviedX-5fJc9lwzRhPeL37nK80nj5WALsdGwCHWgYcS00WEQ9mVxSZT5i9_cpU73M1AJBnF2kbqQvB3FwJjMgSZL8nshHqI145QL3onijzevAVBpNV6k300ztOA5kzhUXu4A9ESuhfFV2dDEik2Mo5W__3xxim90NL/s16000/laneigelipsleepingmaskexberry3.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I bought most of these products on Stylevana.

But I've since heard from multiple beauty sources how great their foundations are and once I've used up most of my drugstore favorites, I've finally decided to venture out and try something new. Well I'm glad I did. I actually bought shade 100 Linen only based on online swatches and it turns out it's the perfect light to medium warm tones shade. Thankfully there is no orange undertone. It fits my current skin tone well. Foundation itself is fairly liquid and it gives you good medium coverage. It has vitamin C in it and they say is transfer proof and waterproof. It's definitely long wearing and I feel that it sits well over my skin. It feels very lightweight, but gives good coverage. I don't think it would look good over very dry and texture skin, because it can cling on my dry patches. But overall, I am surprised at how nice this foundations wears. I'll definitely be trying out more drugstore makeup in the future as well. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5sKKBeugZ8eqHY4zaS8nOupK9YmGfjQP1IeuHje2m5oo0SKNWS6vH8xllOxDArwWLkQADP1dQW5gTuL7KSNQ2LqenC1PYF4dclRG0-JJidiQP9VI1nDNL7nrudAIVzLEjP2yRtFNx4T73IFwoz3_VZs5tJdai5Ms5C4mQDmBzhrXYrFmJTcjD-W32o6n/s1200/october2023favorites5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht5sKKBeugZ8eqHY4zaS8nOupK9YmGfjQP1IeuHje2m5oo0SKNWS6vH8xllOxDArwWLkQADP1dQW5gTuL7KSNQ2LqenC1PYF4dclRG0-JJidiQP9VI1nDNL7nrudAIVzLEjP2yRtFNx4T73IFwoz3_VZs5tJdai5Ms5C4mQDmBzhrXYrFmJTcjD-W32o6n/s16000/october2023favorites5.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Look by Bipa Delicate Compact Bronzer - 020 sunny beach</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I believe I've feature this in my favorites already, but I had to include it, since you may see I already made a substantial dent in it. It's one of the best shades that looks like a contour, but can pass as a bronzer as well. Plus it's very affordable. Formula is nice and smooth, though you need soft and fluffy brush to apply it or it can look a bit patchy.

Maybelline sure know how to make long wearing, highly pigmented lipsticks. I got the shade 15 Peachy which is a peachy brown nude that actually goes with a lot of neutral makeup looks. I tend to apply it in a lighter layer to avoid stickiness. But this one last so long and I love that it looks a bit shiny through the day, because it feel much more comfortable on dry lips as well. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Essence Juicy Bomb Shiny Lipgloss - 12 I'm Allergic To Color</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Shiny lip glosses are back and so are all those juicy tubes. Essence has its own version as well. I believe this black color is Limited Edition. It just looked so fun and it is. It has transparent more of a blackberry color so it gives your lips that slightly darkish purple black hue. It also has pink shimmer in it. If you reapply it several times, it will give your lips like a berry stain once the gloss dries off. The formula is just so comforting and soothing. It smells fruity sweet and it even tasters good. I have had it in my bag and applied it whenever my lips felt a little dry. It's the perfect autumn lip that is comfortable and looks apart. </p></div>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-79110792800474488942023-10-17T18:02:00.002+02:002023-10-17T18:02:14.270+02:00Review: CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask<p style="text-align: justify;">CurrentBody has a <b>huge selection of every possible beauty device</b> you may ever need.

Visible light is usually defined as having wavelengths of 400 to 700 nanometers - by which light is being measured. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Red light </b>waves <b>accelerate the production of new collagen</b>,<b> calms redness </b>while creating an <b>even skin tone</b>. <b>Near-infrared</b> waves work beneath the skin's surface to <b>boost blood circulation</b>, <b>bringing oxygen and nutrients</b> to the cells. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>PillowTechnology</b> is their trademarked technology that delivers <b>complete skin coverage</b>. Regular LED devices have poof light distribution, but PillowTechnology provides and even coverage on the skin's surface, leaving no gaps. This means <b>skin cells can effectively absorb the maximum amount of beneficial light energy </b>for the best results possible. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Good LED light should cover <b>4 factors for optimal result</b>: <b>power</b> (how much light comes into the skin), <b>precision</b> (optimal wavelength to activate cells to rejuvenate), <b>coverage </b>(optimal coverage on the skin throughout the treatment) and<b> duration </b>(calculated based on power, precision and coverage to be effective and safe).</p><p style="text-align: justify;">They have optimized treatment duration so that it <b>lasts 10 minutes</b> and after 10 minutes LED mask turns off itself. You can use it <b>3 to 5 times a week</b>. CurrentBody LED Face Mask is proven to be at least 31% more powerful and effective than any other at-home red and near-infrared LED mask on the market. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Use</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's best to be <b>used on skin that doesn't have any product on</b>, because skincare or makeup can block light coming through. I usually use it <b>in the morning</b> after washing my face or <b>in the evening</b> when I take my makeup off and before I put my evening skincare on. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">You can use it 3 to 5 times a week. I tried to use it <b>5 times a week </b>so I memorized the days when I use it - Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Once you turn it on LED bulbs turn red and you can lay down or sit and enjoy the treatment. I have to say this was <b>the most peaceful time in my day these moths</b>. I usually used it for a quick meditation and breathing exercises. After 10 minutes the mask turns itself off and you can remove it. They don't recommend using it for more than 10 minutes, because there won't be any additional benefits. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN6NyjzXiY7slacbYGhMwV1PPHlRsZ9E-7sG6VUxhgd6zorAh5aoe0pnFLpSRzrEoJozmcBJYUxnXpqhfpjhA0iQ8zsAE8g2bn8Je7m4BEPVbIgVZ2n4Lt9WtEYnIAid4Uve3VDMmc0HJW022mlskJpk0svf7ykdM9XkotoJp6GaONIWFVY9yWMMMD3ob7/s1920/InShot_20231017_171114918.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN6NyjzXiY7slacbYGhMwV1PPHlRsZ9E-7sG6VUxhgd6zorAh5aoe0pnFLpSRzrEoJozmcBJYUxnXpqhfpjhA0iQ8zsAE8g2bn8Je7m4BEPVbIgVZ2n4Lt9WtEYnIAid4Uve3VDMmc0HJW022mlskJpk0svf7ykdM9XkotoJp6GaONIWFVY9yWMMMD3ob7/s16000/InShot_20231017_171114918.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">You can <b>wipe the mask off with something water-based</b>. I usually just use damp towel. This will keep the mask clean and help the LEDs to shine bright.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The mask itself is<b> pretty comfortable to wear</b>. The <b>only part that bothered me a little was the nose part</b>. I have a huge nose, so that might be why and when I lay down the mask puts a lot of pressure on my nose. By sitting up this isn't a problem. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I will admit I also <b>used it on palms where I have eczema</b>. Story time. I came across LED light therapy many years ago when I was researching treatments for eczema and red light therapy was very recommended and even clinically proven. Some doctors offered these treatments in their clinics and saw great results. So I dove into research and was so happy to finally try it now as well on my hands. CurrentBody actually has Skin LED Hand Perfector which is designed especially for your hands. They also have a really interesting red light therapy device for hair regrowth, as well as for neck, around the eyes and even for lips.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Performance</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am 34 years old and I definitely see my fine lines around the eyes becoming more prominent. I have two horizontal wrinkles on my forehead which have become a lot more prominent in the last couple of years and I have also notices my smile lines becoming deeper. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have combination skin which means my skin is very oily in the summer, but can get dehydrated in the winter. I have larger pores around my nose. Around my mouth I have some sallow skin which looks darker and more yellow toned. I have occasional breakouts and in general have sensitive skin as well though not any visible redness or flakiness. I have to regularly cleanse, because I wear a lot of makeup and because of my oiliness can get clogged pores.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I have <b>been using this face mask for 3 months now</b> and I have used it at least 3 times a week mostly 5 times a week. I<b> haven't been using any retinol product</b> in the meantime and I've also <b>stopped using Vitamin C products</b> just to really observe what this mask did to my skin.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I started using it as soon as I came home from my short trip to the sea and whenever I come from vacation, I usually get a lot of breakouts, because of the heavy SPF application, sweat and salty water. This time was no different. So I immediately got to see the benefits of this LED mask.

For some reason it reminds me of Balea Med the unscented wash gel gel version, expect that one is cheaper. It's nice, don't get me wrong, I just expect more from my wash gels, if I pay a higher price. So it's in my favorites, because it cleans well, it's gentle and it definitely doesn't irritate me.

I have to say Atopicbalm turned out to be great for my dishydrotic stage of eczema when I was trying to calm down my red skin and dry up water bubbles.

As you can see I am down to my last bit, but I have repurchased it several times already. It has the perfect cool greyish undertone and it's light enough that it can be used on lighter skin tones. I don't like my lip pencil contour to be too dark. I love NYX Slim Lip Pencil formula, because it's that classic lip pencil formula that is just creamy enough, but doesn't slide all over and you can diffuse and blend it, if you would like to. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink - 15 Peachy</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I was on the fence about buying this products and at first I wasn't a fan, but since I started using it differently, I love it now. It's a liquid lipstick that has opaque pigmentation and gives you good color payoff as soon as you apply it. The fun thing about it that it has all the properties of a matte liquid lip - very pigmented, very long lasting and hard to budge, but it gives you satin finish with natural shine on the lips that doesn't make your lips look crusty like the desert. I will say apply it lightly with a brush, because if you apply a thicker coat you will get that nasty inner corner crusty look on the lips. It's so long lasting and the shade peachy is the perfect neutral muted peachy brown. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9V0sbXF3kJDGk_2m6Y-A1QjJWCD6MdalImw6IkOA5EUkuJxUeGVtZKYDKmrla866v9xR5M-88u_yY-y2dySLkfggTAKwYQu9IdosmpsRR8DrpxsveMrH-8awk2EvtjS2B_WhPCHnamVGm8n3TpJunxJBOrKOxyl5wKxQ6W4igxa-u0X8m_vhx1KZGN1gn/s1200/september2023favorites5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9V0sbXF3kJDGk_2m6Y-A1QjJWCD6MdalImw6IkOA5EUkuJxUeGVtZKYDKmrla866v9xR5M-88u_yY-y2dySLkfggTAKwYQu9IdosmpsRR8DrpxsveMrH-8awk2EvtjS2B_WhPCHnamVGm8n3TpJunxJBOrKOxyl5wKxQ6W4igxa-u0X8m_vhx1KZGN1gn/s16000/september2023favorites5.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Merzy The First Gel Eyeliner - G13 Amber Brown</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Merzy is Korean brand that makes amkeup products. It's hard to find brown gel pencils in drugstore that aren't just dark brown or dark brown with some shimmer. So I decided to try Amber Brown from Merzy and it's so nice. The formula is very creamy like a proper gel pencil and it has built in sharpener in the bottom of the pen. It glides on the lid and you can blend it out and use as an eyeshadow, but once it sets it stays put and doesn't move. Amber Brown is matte medium amber brown that can look darker, if you go over the line a few times. I love those kind of warmer brown shades.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Ou9whwOKxO9yEI5phgVZxXWLPuBokPgaTlUlvf0gRQQXP_SFqtF1kLxiJge43EAELfFAZxIAmZs7YeB0jSGpz9FGlqe5eMjZEO9rTHpmUc29pHilMzRB993-BL6gWH8Bh_oWIbUe3Zbcmy3LNE5Y-9LMBjTVO1j_egw5n-JQlf1EW64_-iGyAV38XIIc/s1200/september2023favorites6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Ou9whwOKxO9yEI5phgVZxXWLPuBokPgaTlUlvf0gRQQXP_SFqtF1kLxiJge43EAELfFAZxIAmZs7YeB0jSGpz9FGlqe5eMjZEO9rTHpmUc29pHilMzRB993-BL6gWH8Bh_oWIbUe3Zbcmy3LNE5Y-9LMBjTVO1j_egw5n-JQlf1EW64_-iGyAV38XIIc/s16000/september2023favorites6.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rephr 35 Brush</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Brush 35 from Rephr is said to be small face brush for contour, highlight and blush, but I personally love to use it for my concealer. It's just big enough that it sits good under the eyes, but at the same time it blends larger area, so you are done quicker. I love Rephr brushes in general, because they have very soft natural bristles and the quality is great. They are soft, but still dense enough that they blend and apply makeup effortlessly. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Angled Liner Brush and Portable Lip Brush</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">These two are my random purchases from Shein and I have to say I am very satisfied with the quality. I always need more liner and lip brushes in my professional makeup kit and the quality with these doesn't have to be top notch as with many face brushes. Angled liner brush is one of the few with synthetic brushes that is narrow and small enough that it's easy to apply a precise thin eyeliner around the lash line. I find most such brushes from other brands are usually too big and bulky, but this one is perfect. Lip brush can be taken apart in half and you can close the brush into another half, so it's great to carry on as well. It has rounded edges which is great shape for apply lipstick. It's flat and synthetic hair doesn't soak up too much products, so I find it nice. The only problem being once you assemble both halves together it feels a little flimsy. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjlyI9IFKMBaTAnR2RDg6W5iz2kyTM_fgutOuEbnzfv3BzcYIf70icAxcZvZmrU86QEUu213QTOHAx5JhChjl8C45KuNjA3ryD0AC2o24fF4R6e4VrMZwowoohyq73naVdHKt4KZlbH1-oJIHrDIWfOozNIKIuVkMvd8jKn9jIr3alVTLIWsIUk6DmFnAq/s1200/september2023favorites7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjlyI9IFKMBaTAnR2RDg6W5iz2kyTM_fgutOuEbnzfv3BzcYIf70icAxcZvZmrU86QEUu213QTOHAx5JhChjl8C45KuNjA3ryD0AC2o24fF4R6e4VrMZwowoohyq73naVdHKt4KZlbH1-oJIHrDIWfOozNIKIuVkMvd8jKn9jIr3alVTLIWsIUk6DmFnAq/s16000/september2023favorites7.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Refan Perfume inspired by Givenchy L'Interdint Eau de Parfum Rouge</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is another perfume that I got a small bottle of, because I loved the description on Fragrantica and apparently it was winner for reader's choice of 2022. It's described as warm spicy, white floral and woody. Top nots are ginger and blood orange, middle notes are tuberose, jasmine and pimento leaf and base notes are sandalwood, patchouli and vetiver. In my opinion this is the perfect perfume for autumn. It's very strong in silage and I get a bit of sweet fruitiness mixed with soft floral in the beginning. Later however as it develops into those base notes it becomes quite woody. However, it has that sweetness to it, which must be due to the floral mixing with base notes. So I would say this is sweet woody and kind of spicy fragrance. </p>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-89338186943040387462023-09-15T16:05:00.000+02:002023-09-15T16:05:02.785+02:00Lethal Cosmetics Eyeshadows - Limbo, Arcade, Parsec, Aurora<p style="text-align: justify;">Lethal Cosmetics is an indie brand from Germany.

I've heard of the brand many times since they launched in 2017, but never really gave it a try until recently.

You can find so many neutral and natural eyeshadows in the drugstore as well as high end brands, but it's hard to find those eye-catching fun colorful shadows with amazing shifts. And for that I will definitely be looking at them to try some more shades in the future. Formula does have some fallout that you have to learn to work with, but the shadows are pigmented, bright and stay in place all day. </div></div>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-358141475797470392023-09-05T14:44:00.003+02:002023-09-05T14:44:59.115+02:00August 2023 Favorites<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi45S9ZzudURYyLltLM8d5CGZPJe_Sdx3_fDEDuCrP-2mZPgY5iSesk03si7pl4U4OoZpLyGfs91Go2aIS1-DcwJjh5q_BIGv1fA3kXNQv2D9jW0lh4kPSz-34RQJoGcXel7-tzDS-2EaEgLhrOBBQiC_Jaabqk9bCu-o5ujY66gS-q2FW02IuN9CebfEGu/s1615/august2023favorites1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1615" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi45S9ZzudURYyLltLM8d5CGZPJe_Sdx3_fDEDuCrP-2mZPgY5iSesk03si7pl4U4OoZpLyGfs91Go2aIS1-DcwJjh5q_BIGv1fA3kXNQv2D9jW0lh4kPSz-34RQJoGcXel7-tzDS-2EaEgLhrOBBQiC_Jaabqk9bCu-o5ujY66gS-q2FW02IuN9CebfEGu/s16000/august2023favorites1.jpg" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ArPdPogCv6wsOpBPu0MOC3rJRiDEArQObb-EHVtetHP8bpa0aJSkqYST_P7p1PWgJ8I3KJecb2kgNc2w2s0HY8INM0AgPnqu2A40srrJ3KHNCtCu6WAw6uupH_RcXt9ctegsQkvSP4lKQp9ol_Oq2gq26OyxUESfoqlC2MA5VF6X8yXcX_JFOJqDOaqb/s1200/august2023favorites3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_ArPdPogCv6wsOpBPu0MOC3rJRiDEArQObb-EHVtetHP8bpa0aJSkqYST_P7p1PWgJ8I3KJecb2kgNc2w2s0HY8INM0AgPnqu2A40srrJ3KHNCtCu6WAw6uupH_RcXt9ctegsQkvSP4lKQp9ol_Oq2gq26OyxUESfoqlC2MA5VF6X8yXcX_JFOJqDOaqb/s16000/august2023favorites3.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2015/08/review-catrice-liquid-camouflage-high.html" target="_blank">Catrice Liquid Camouflage High Coverage Concealer - 020 Light Beige</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is still one of my favorite drugstore concealers that I also always recommend to others.

It's a synthetic brush with wooden handle. I love the shape of it. It's medium sized and has dense bristles which from the side create slanted angle perfect for applying your liquid foundation. It covers enough area to make to make it quick and easy to apply your foundation all over the face. It doesn't leave any weird streaks and it applies foundation evenly. I've cleaned it a lot of times already and it never shed, so I am impressed. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieXyFkkeyETDV4fo4j72CzJFokFY7IgDEkrgJL6q6y_oLUwHsnkcapcDGL1aioPyzoLkqIo9SZOiQVKrA7IW5pwx786m8wmZv_RTG1MeVH789vSaipG4NsouA90M1ewZlflODSkNw5Y1uEY6bG2ppRwFErp5b5j4nVTr_tdn-ITB6zDnMJK2BUs7KCCdVN/s1200/august2023favorites4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieXyFkkeyETDV4fo4j72CzJFokFY7IgDEkrgJL6q6y_oLUwHsnkcapcDGL1aioPyzoLkqIo9SZOiQVKrA7IW5pwx786m8wmZv_RTG1MeVH789vSaipG4NsouA90M1ewZlflODSkNw5Y1uEY6bG2ppRwFErp5b5j4nVTr_tdn-ITB6zDnMJK2BUs7KCCdVN/s16000/august2023favorites4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ewBYBOXAixehW2DTRs2OoMcShJZPz9ta2EcelPsSq6nFHvrCJpTbxAg68uMh7quwGsel8lUnMGNr6vWLIftKuuGFWr7L-TClgL3l_PUu09SJKYyQnRfZLzdWfnWIRRnjqpmRh_PlLOeaZgRfeNkrWLizZcW2dGY_-DQ_eX4cbeJAkBafot2EOO4c-ed3/s1200/august2023favorites5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ewBYBOXAixehW2DTRs2OoMcShJZPz9ta2EcelPsSq6nFHvrCJpTbxAg68uMh7quwGsel8lUnMGNr6vWLIftKuuGFWr7L-TClgL3l_PUu09SJKYyQnRfZLzdWfnWIRRnjqpmRh_PlLOeaZgRfeNkrWLizZcW2dGY_-DQ_eX4cbeJAkBafot2EOO4c-ed3/s16000/august2023favorites5.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Catrice Melted Sun Cream Bronzer - 020 Beach Babe</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Catrice has their seasonal revamp of their stand again and I went and checked out some of the new products, but only got this cream bronzer. It's go a really nice creamy formula which turns to powder once you apply it on the skin. It almost reminds me of Colourpop Super Shock Cheek blushes, but more creamy in the pan. It can be applied over powders as well, which is great and it gives just tad of luminous sheen, but the color itself is matte with no shimmer. I got it in shade 020 which is a nice medium brown, not orange just the perfect warm bronze shade. This is a really nice product from Catrice. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rephr 37 Brush</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love to apply that cream bronzer with this 37 brush, because it's small enough, has slightly rounded shape and it allows me to stipple and push the product onto my cheeks while blending it so there are no harsh lines. Rephr brushes will sometimes shed a bristle or two. May be due to the fact it's natural bristles, but I find they apply cream products in a sheer way and blend them out so well.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWZrhueozWvh-DeSzdxhXSbRuQ_3tokNnnF1krx1r8jzZcqVLsg-TO4ok5rYmkPCrH9quB78_XSec_eQlW4WQUabZPPPW2FhscHjAs1pBVKmyvltto5vLZGbWfTa72l7684nXl8VmTdk2mZYHd_V07C75aupzGfwXQ5KwkiWDR7yW1tdhvlNt-TpNDTZRh/s1200/august2023favorites6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWZrhueozWvh-DeSzdxhXSbRuQ_3tokNnnF1krx1r8jzZcqVLsg-TO4ok5rYmkPCrH9quB78_XSec_eQlW4WQUabZPPPW2FhscHjAs1pBVKmyvltto5vLZGbWfTa72l7684nXl8VmTdk2mZYHd_V07C75aupzGfwXQ5KwkiWDR7yW1tdhvlNt-TpNDTZRh/s16000/august2023favorites6.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Kiko Sculpting Touch Creamy Stick Contour - 201 Chocolate</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I have Kiko <a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2016/05/review-kiko-radiant-touch-creamy-stick.html" target="_blank">highlighter stick</a> which I like. Their contour sticks are quite popular as well, so I got it in the second darkest shade. It's the darkest contour shade, but it can be blended out and applied sheerer. Formula is creamy, but doesn't glide as much as highlighter. Contour feels more matte and it stays more in place which makes sense. I apply it with a brush and it blends out well, but you do need to go over it a few times to make it look saturated and even. It has a nice medium cool brown shade which could be almost used as a bronzer shade as well. It's not too grey which is perfect. I am not totally in love with how it looks so far, but I like it for a quick definition of the cheeks and I still have to test it more. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM_eN_1bwD3_N4QRyjJ01Rk8fZcF4tExiTOtLkiwQZJQx3BJvLnf14wyET-_J_yCUlsNDlP7ojvoo7vsnNKv8mBxNBgI4Np3amPnXJ_8g9j1UIgvBtHGLAzV8oCF5JMIamGoQ84RIgAz8cxUz6V1ACDTgZG5bMvDMAAjr0Kr-tz24DrFwdOeTpcu7Q5rYH/s1200/august2023favorites7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM_eN_1bwD3_N4QRyjJ01Rk8fZcF4tExiTOtLkiwQZJQx3BJvLnf14wyET-_J_yCUlsNDlP7ojvoo7vsnNKv8mBxNBgI4Np3amPnXJ_8g9j1UIgvBtHGLAzV8oCF5JMIamGoQ84RIgAz8cxUz6V1ACDTgZG5bMvDMAAjr0Kr-tz24DrFwdOeTpcu7Q5rYH/s16000/august2023favorites7.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Essence Stay & Play Gel Eyeliner - 02 But First Espresso</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I think someone on YouTube mentioned this product being good and I was so confused, because I couldn't remember even seeing it in my drugstore. Turns out it is there. I ordered it online and boy is this nice and it costs less than coffee. It's that gel formula that glides on the skin like butter, but gives you opaque matte chocolate brown color that can be blended out. I was most surprised with the staying power. It stayed on so well and most importantly, didn't smudge or transfer on my upper lid and I didn't even set it with no powder products on top. You can get such good makeup at drugstore these days and this is definitely one of it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">As far as I know, this is the most popular Essence mascara that everyone seems to like it. I just tried it and not to say it's in my favorites category of mascaras, but it's not bad and worth a try. The formula gives you instant volume and it makes your lashes look thick and seen. It doesn't feel clumpy or too wet, but it can look a bit thick on the lashes after some time. I've been using it for about a month and as it's drying it's becoming thicker and looks a bit messy on the lashes. I prefer something with more refined definition, but for the price this is definitely worth trying if you like volume and thicker lashes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_KIv4rqqfr_8pBz5gpI_bvcPNTVWEa6yQA-0FJssOaz5O2BOUq3xkptCnSrDjE8cIINrsb9nE7zb8MwxH_flpk8dhiz6KShvGKXVbEA28c2vRzH0cu6dN-ZRLpWah_atN-egDEMpZvHxkdQ6tDBKw2jgS352Zq3MyIgip33qENbzTAhkgROsM__bt0-0p/s1626/august2023favorites2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1626" data-original-width="1140" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_KIv4rqqfr_8pBz5gpI_bvcPNTVWEa6yQA-0FJssOaz5O2BOUq3xkptCnSrDjE8cIINrsb9nE7zb8MwxH_flpk8dhiz6KShvGKXVbEA28c2vRzH0cu6dN-ZRLpWah_atN-egDEMpZvHxkdQ6tDBKw2jgS352Zq3MyIgip33qENbzTAhkgROsM__bt0-0p/s16000/august2023favorites2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Redken Volume Injection Shampoo</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">It's shampoo formulated for fine, flat or processed hair and it has Redken's filloxane formulation to give the hair instant volume. I've come across it on YouTube as it's apparently perfect for fine hair like mine and the fact that it doesn't when it down. Some shampoos for damaged hair can be too nourishing for my fine hair and as much as I love the smooth and polished look to my hair it usually results in greasy hair the second day. So I gave this one a go and so far I really like it. It definitely cleans my hair well, but after I blow dry it, it still has volume and feels lightweight. I almost notice it not getting greasy as quick as with other shampoos. It has a lovely almost sweet musky scent to it which stays on the hair. </div>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-2302164867349276772023-08-17T19:47:00.000+02:002023-08-17T19:47:46.032+02:00Review: Vegreen Intensive Vitamin C 20% Ampoule<p style="text-align: justify;">I am already familiar with <a href="https://en.vegreen.co.kr/index.html" target="_blank">Vegreen</a> as a Korean skin care brand.

Also because most of the products I tried out smelled like toilet cleaner and felt almost a bit stingy. This is the first Vitamin C product that I actually like and still use, even though it's that oily feel that I am not a fan of putting on my skin in the morning. But somehow it works on my combination skin and my complexion is much more even toned after 2 and a half months of using it. I can definitely notice that Vegreen makes lightweight, effective, yet soothing skincare products that I am definitely a fan of as someone with combination and at times sensitive skin. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">*Product was sent to me. </span> </div>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-40527937293145878952023-08-03T18:18:00.001+02:002023-08-03T18:18:14.260+02:00July 2023 Favorites<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif90KgVfOXAvvo0D2iT5gECgEZN0H-Xc3PPRzv6GQ0NtNt9Utt6rPkmhrJVOctQtlXRRrawJ_1bhWg8_2pgT3WR6YZhdMKWC3AuOWjN-XdItUjMcPJEr1N0XPwbRAje6mPNJRm5--srzr58hsSlMcIW9TARvLRIZTxU0pMvqy3ViP9l1n7Kus9LT9kqPZ0/s1770/july2023favorites1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1770" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif90KgVfOXAvvo0D2iT5gECgEZN0H-Xc3PPRzv6GQ0NtNt9Utt6rPkmhrJVOctQtlXRRrawJ_1bhWg8_2pgT3WR6YZhdMKWC3AuOWjN-XdItUjMcPJEr1N0XPwbRAje6mPNJRm5--srzr58hsSlMcIW9TARvLRIZTxU0pMvqy3ViP9l1n7Kus9LT9kqPZ0/s16000/july2023favorites1.jpg" /></a></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwLXHaohKdpKp0ErOTQMApu0p8nF1_r7x9_9U_Nna2wzgOffG6ZgO4KprKmyNK43VAANe74X_sMNMpNqdcECIAQIP7QhubCbHYsa09WP5R_fnUJi9tTBIhY8JAK0Yy3X2mdb7KOYn9uRxhZphBqOqfbD4AtcfB4IHNQRBSUEwr4jpTForzKfz_R0_yFTzL/s1800/july2023favorites2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwLXHaohKdpKp0ErOTQMApu0p8nF1_r7x9_9U_Nna2wzgOffG6ZgO4KprKmyNK43VAANe74X_sMNMpNqdcECIAQIP7QhubCbHYsa09WP5R_fnUJi9tTBIhY8JAK0Yy3X2mdb7KOYn9uRxhZphBqOqfbD4AtcfB4IHNQRBSUEwr4jpTForzKfz_R0_yFTzL/s16000/july2023favorites2.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>CurrentBody Skin LED Light Therapy Face Mask</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">CurrentBody is the IT destination for skin care devices and tools. They feature all the latest devices that can be used at home for your skin. I've quite grown to using and loving skin care devices after I have tried Foreo UFO and Bear. That's why I was so excited to test out their LED Light Therapy Face Mask. I've just started using it for a few weeks now. Let me just say I've delved into researching benefits of red light therapy once I got of corticosteroid cream for my eczema and atopic dermatitis and I had severe red skin syndrome. I was desperate and upon my research I've read that red LED light should be very healing for those types of skin problems. Ever since I've had in the back of my mind this though, but I never really tried a proper device. Until now. I have to say, I want to properly use it for at least a few months to give you proper results, but so far I'm loving it. I've noticed it helps to speed up any blemish healing process. Ever since I started using it my skin has just been in good condition all the time. No driness, plumped look of the skin and I can swear my smile lines are less deep. I've also started to notice my two prominent forehead lines almost looking less deep. There has been an improvement in overall brightness of the skin tone. I have stopped using other devices and I don't use any retinol products, so I can give you a proper review and I'll definitely do a separate blog post about it once I use it more. But so far, I have really high expectation just based on the short use. It has sort of silicon like mask with LED light on one side. You get a battery with it that you charge and has s switch button. You put it on your face, switch it on and use it for just 10 minutes a day 3 to 5 times a week. I find this time sort of relaxing and meditative in a way. It's me time. I usually use it in the evening and I will also use it on the back of my hand to see if it helps with my sun damage and my freckles. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC2CQKW76VlISg6Emmhkz0lKvILtpM86WCpUd8vwZMwiSFgsysxLYBQMIdcxLIWVvA2H0aMRkAUHryqLGaOw1yX25guAM3L1nABOYQ0T_hW7qszBr4FNuDS9bMBKyncbl6uU5IcrDugNOxTJt8WjzuU8_aDZBdKDB7mob_X0RM26X56W6WL_Ng3TJLv84E/s1200/july2023favorites3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC2CQKW76VlISg6Emmhkz0lKvILtpM86WCpUd8vwZMwiSFgsysxLYBQMIdcxLIWVvA2H0aMRkAUHryqLGaOw1yX25guAM3L1nABOYQ0T_hW7qszBr4FNuDS9bMBKyncbl6uU5IcrDugNOxTJt8WjzuU8_aDZBdKDB7mob_X0RM26X56W6WL_Ng3TJLv84E/s16000/july2023favorites3.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+ PA++++</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I got a few makeup products from a fellow beauty blogger (back in the day) and with the makeup she sent me some of skin care and other bits that she doesn't use anymore. Among these was also this Skin1004 SPF. I love so many of Skin1004 products that I was very excited to try this SPF. This is chemical sunscreen in what they say is serum formula with hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica. This is so nice. It's like a very light cream that almost feels like serum once you start to blend it. It leaves no white cast and leaves a nice hydrated finish that isn't super dewy, but has a bit of shine. It soaks into the skin well and wears good under makeup. It's so easy to use as it's so lightweight, yet hydrating and soothing because of centella. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYdudO6q4r1Dn9kME9wpIeV8ERhIvNB9dQRZlCv9fDva4hZPQRRJZVSv2dIo6Rmf4QZjuQnK1d1GbTw6g-5-c23DVaHm9x8psJc2zCRiBIjYu32KkMeobmdU_RhUlXzV4Nup07whfqLDQf8EOE12V0nYRSf55xvYf110XlOpMLecBwzxMRneGmS8OLFgdz/s1200/july2023favorites4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYdudO6q4r1Dn9kME9wpIeV8ERhIvNB9dQRZlCv9fDva4hZPQRRJZVSv2dIo6Rmf4QZjuQnK1d1GbTw6g-5-c23DVaHm9x8psJc2zCRiBIjYu32KkMeobmdU_RhUlXzV4Nup07whfqLDQf8EOE12V0nYRSf55xvYf110XlOpMLecBwzxMRneGmS8OLFgdz/s16000/july2023favorites4.jpg" /></a></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2019/04/review-catrice-hd-liquid-coverage.html" target="_blank">Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation - 036 Hazelnut Beige</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I believe this has been reformulated, but I still have the old version which is just so good.

They have the same prices as Essence and Catrice and also do limited editions. It's that perfect shade of contour/bronzer. Bronzers tend to be more warm and contour is usually cooler, but this is that in-between shade that will give you definition, but can also be used as a defining bronzer. It's got very smooth fine texture. It can look a bit patchy, if you don't apply it lightly and make sure to apply it on powdered skin, but I love the shade so much. It gives you definition in an instant and is just dark enough. Plus it's perfect for the crease as it gives you that defined crease look with just one shades and it's not too dark perfect as a blending shade. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2018/11/review-wet-n-wild-megaglo-highlighting.html" target="_blank">Wet n Wild Megaglo Highlighter Powder - Precious Petals</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Who doesn't know of Wet n Wild highlighters. I think it was one of the most known highlighters in US drugstore. I pulled it out for summer, because this shade is a bit darker. It has that rich almost peach toned gold shade with metallic shine that is still fine in shimmer so that it can look more natural, if you apply it lightly. I am kind of over those very shiny metallic highlighter with stark sheen. But this one can still look so natural. A true classic. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10PYWYiHZFmMc9bUeuoz5vWlUm3HF8H3CDpPRMYlzUE5Fs5SioRTN7cuuGjuY9mzVchhVCm88YUe0lMQAqjHwFtotuwaMxpm2yWYYEWSIkmxFiNlGT0EIYEfzBgnkHr_qPjMAeP344ZozHaM95sczCq6v9YcJJw-IQoHzsfUBt-yrDXTFaMcxNmj1UJ60/s1200/july2023favorites6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg10PYWYiHZFmMc9bUeuoz5vWlUm3HF8H3CDpPRMYlzUE5Fs5SioRTN7cuuGjuY9mzVchhVCm88YUe0lMQAqjHwFtotuwaMxpm2yWYYEWSIkmxFiNlGT0EIYEfzBgnkHr_qPjMAeP344ZozHaM95sczCq6v9YcJJw-IQoHzsfUBt-yrDXTFaMcxNmj1UJ60/s16000/july2023favorites6.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Colourpop Super Shock Cheek Pearlized - Brut Flute</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am a huge fan of Colourpop Super Shock Shadows, but I've actually never tried their Super Shock Cheeks. This is even creamier that eyeshadows. It feels like a cream under your fingers, but once you apply it on the cheeks it looks like a powder. This one has pearlized finish which means it has highlighter like sheen. Brut Flute looks like a pretty dark mauve rose shade with golden sheen, but oh my, this looks so good on the cheeks. I will admit this will probably be too dark for me in the winter, but not in summer it looks like that proper sun burnt shade which is just perfect for the cheeks. Golden pearl gives your cheeks such a luxurious sheen. It's like a darker and moodier version of Nars Orgasm blush with more refined sheen. Plus it's so easy to apply and it practically blends itself.

I've been sleeping on this brand. It has become wildly popular once it came on the market quite a few years back. All I know is that it's beauty brand owned by woman of color who wanted to create makeup that would enhance her dark skin tone. That's why their products are so highly pigmented and so rich in color. Quality is just amazing and they blend lovely as well. I love how each palette as a pop of color and it's probably the first brand that each palette looks so interesting and not "boring". In each palette is a shade that I am inspired by. Saharan II has three rich matte warm browns with a few golden and grenish blue shimmers. I used those two blues over creamy black pencil to create fun shiny eyeliner and it was so easy to make. The Douce is probably the most unique out of the four palettes I got. It has a mix of pinks, green, silver and some browns. I love Tart shade which is like a transparent base with duochrome pinkish purple reflect. So fun for inner corners or just over a bare lid. I am having so much fun playing with all these colors. </p>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-11355697277869303402023-07-31T17:31:00.000+02:002023-07-31T17:31:24.075+02:00Review: Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Luminous Matte Foundation - LW8<p style="text-align: justify;">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 say this is more expensive than what I am usually willing to pay for a foundation, because most foundations have 30 ml of product.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIybrQSnEWnAuIhPAtNvgGhULdCwhQ1I5zVPJLvafd4vCBzZt5q3h5MZNJKkQxKVITnj3v1JKa1uaGksrvlthIIQwsEdlKnfBxi6_im4NVqscJ8T7duXAaJL5CwG34DsL34u_hqVuNlWWD5bFYwV6_CKql6ahckRIHFkRUGnFok7y4ko0GDt1p65c8thLa/s1200/yvessaintlaurentallhoursfoundationluminousmatte2_LW8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIybrQSnEWnAuIhPAtNvgGhULdCwhQ1I5zVPJLvafd4vCBzZt5q3h5MZNJKkQxKVITnj3v1JKa1uaGksrvlthIIQwsEdlKnfBxi6_im4NVqscJ8T7duXAaJL5CwG34DsL34u_hqVuNlWWD5bFYwV6_CKql6ahckRIHFkRUGnFok7y4ko0GDt1p65c8thLa/s16000/yvessaintlaurentallhoursfoundationluminousmatte2_LW8.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg1NVg5tiljeMgXViadea8MqrcXa5QU4LR1UVTviccGo4yIQ2f-trv78xdpyqF_gAbqSQEn5lixyGZ_8SL5r0rpZJ-L9c5SYzyVBhWTjPL4w2JCtvf0QUK_hWCD267lVQiBreu9C_GvPTYpZ7gJxOSUBjdNf-jxNmfCAgTHtDaCnxR2m00TS2yM3jHixbd/s1200/yvessaintlaurentallhoursfoundationluminousmatte4_LW8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg1NVg5tiljeMgXViadea8MqrcXa5QU4LR1UVTviccGo4yIQ2f-trv78xdpyqF_gAbqSQEn5lixyGZ_8SL5r0rpZJ-L9c5SYzyVBhWTjPL4w2JCtvf0QUK_hWCD267lVQiBreu9C_GvPTYpZ7gJxOSUBjdNf-jxNmfCAgTHtDaCnxR2m00TS2yM3jHixbd/s16000/yvessaintlaurentallhoursfoundationluminousmatte4_LW8.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Formula</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's a <b>thicker liquid foundation</b> that gives you a bit of time to spread, but then it <b>starts to set quite quickly</b>.

Vitamin C is one of the skincare ingredients I never cared for. Partially, because I don't have problems with hyperpigmentation and because I haven't found a Vitamin C products that I would like. They were either too oily or smelled like toiler cleaner. Vitamin C is brightening ingredient and great antioxidant. Pretty much perfect for summer. Vitamin C can also be very unstable, so most are formulated with some sort of oil and not water. This one has tea plant oil and 20% of vitamin C of which 14% is ascorbic acid and 6% is ethyl ascorbyl ether. There is also centella asiatica in the formula. It has like a light oil formula which almost feels like dry oil. I use one pump mixed with Vegreen Tea Tree Gel Cream which is the perfect combination for summer. So far I have to say I loved including it in my routine, because it didn't make my skin oily, it wears surprisingly well under makeup, I sense no scent and I've noticed my complexion looking more even in general. I do have some sort of sallowness around my mouth which is the only discoloration that really bothers me and I noticed it looks less visible now. It's probably the only vitamin C products so far that I actually use in the morning and my skin doesn't break out or get too oily through the day.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_bVcIlEPnpst-F66B4jmHHfh9eyUsFJqEHVgaRnFUhAZFeXuS58v-X4LmG6T_9KHJFFoavsJM0AGgvBgpYSb5G0ka8WY4fpLxs32m2Du32GhxCO_TYHJMEm-6CSihdDYMywgFzcYh-KqprygvuoVJlk8vcYjJPWSxlyMd9PXRh7DV_WOpJLS8u834ap7b/s1200/june2023favorites5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_bVcIlEPnpst-F66B4jmHHfh9eyUsFJqEHVgaRnFUhAZFeXuS58v-X4LmG6T_9KHJFFoavsJM0AGgvBgpYSb5G0ka8WY4fpLxs32m2Du32GhxCO_TYHJMEm-6CSihdDYMywgFzcYh-KqprygvuoVJlk8vcYjJPWSxlyMd9PXRh7DV_WOpJLS8u834ap7b/s16000/june2023favorites5.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Eucerin Sun Protection Oil Control Dry Touch Sun Gel-Cream SPF 50+</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am a huge fan of <a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2021/08/review-garnier-ambre-solaire-sensitive.html" target="_blank">Garnier fluid</a> and it's probably my favorite SPF from our drugstores. I used to use a lot of the La Roche-Posay fluid, but they reformulated it and that one had such a strong alcohol in it that it sometimes irritated me. Garnier is my best choice, but there is little product in it and I try to venture out and try something new each year. This one from Eucerin came highly recommended by my fellow bloggers and I gave it a go. So far I like it. It's a cream, not liquid, but it feels fairly light once you spread it. I don't sense any scent nor alcohol. It leaves sort of a natural matte finish on the skin and it doesn't get greasy through the day. I also like that it isn't too matte, because such finish can sometimes be hard to apply makeup over and since I have combination skin it can look a bit off sometimes. There is no white cast, because it's chemical SPF. So far I haven't noticed any blocked pores, but it will go through proper test once I am on my holiday. I'll do a proper review then. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Hrr_mOleYJ3MWUEzfKWDs--x0DvJTiQWki_pUnOj7gHRsi1sMsOCel-sFt3R7oGw3mUFR8iSVIe_8BfqEEbdpnjl60jmFAB75XS-1XQUzWzSYDhhm4MOe0r4d31GjXm7fItyfo5dTplTT42GzxsF9DP7ePIKF1_DhJ3BXiVfPQLCsu49PzXZlFauWioo/s1200/june2023favorites6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Hrr_mOleYJ3MWUEzfKWDs--x0DvJTiQWki_pUnOj7gHRsi1sMsOCel-sFt3R7oGw3mUFR8iSVIe_8BfqEEbdpnjl60jmFAB75XS-1XQUzWzSYDhhm4MOe0r4d31GjXm7fItyfo5dTplTT42GzxsF9DP7ePIKF1_DhJ3BXiVfPQLCsu49PzXZlFauWioo/s16000/june2023favorites6.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2016/11/review-catrice-hd-liquid-coverage.html" target="_blank">Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation 010 Light Beige</a> and <a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2022/08/new-in-33.html" target="_blank">Filorga Flash-Nude Fluid 01 Nude Beige</a></b></span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is my new favorite base combination for my everyday makeup.

My skin looks velvet matte with some of the natural shine, it doesn't get oily and it makes my pores look good. I just love this combination for hot weather that we've been having lately.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-3glrPROzhOreFKrRcz1RgkTFlbHxz8tiROY7C-3c4qqEa-klAiIds4uLgzsgHCuZf7m59-EJ3wy8_IVIOXmlK9NbBgf9af2GbOHFfKjYnlTAw19F-BPRaElZcOk3iXhab8emuhc76HsyOrJ-vEwId3Oymd4T6aBbUURewKpxtiDB-kn-PmL8oizCie6p/s1200/june2023favorites2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-3glrPROzhOreFKrRcz1RgkTFlbHxz8tiROY7C-3c4qqEa-klAiIds4uLgzsgHCuZf7m59-EJ3wy8_IVIOXmlK9NbBgf9af2GbOHFfKjYnlTAw19F-BPRaElZcOk3iXhab8emuhc76HsyOrJ-vEwId3Oymd4T6aBbUURewKpxtiDB-kn-PmL8oizCie6p/s16000/june2023favorites2.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Lethal Cosmetics Pressed Eyeshadows - Limbo, Arcade, Parsec, Aurora</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I've had Lethal Cosmetics on my radar for a while. It's European indy brand that has become popular with their eyeshadows palettes and eyeshadows with multichrome finishes. They have some amazing colors to choose from. I placed an order for a few that I needed in my kit and some that I just found so interesting. Limbo is a proper neutral champagne shade, Arcade is peachy rose shade with a golden sheen, Parsec is one of those multichrome shades with amazing pink, gold, turquoise, lilac flip and Aurora is another amazing multichrome with blue, pink and green shift. Those multichromes give your eyes so much dimension. All of these have some fallout as you apply them, so fingers work best, if you want minimal clean up from those metallic shades, but they have amazing pigmentation and are so easy to apply. The pans are nice size as well.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dZI33xq2hgbiprUQEkl35D0as3cQ0PzmnboCw9TlW-uLT2X37jwyqx7Xf05hPQI_YzldDl_ChuLIamdfOB_3xrv1N4JGdY-KXuVQhqFG7czTXrIzy8Nzj_XQItU5OJj_XPcKTeeaZVKPOlClxrEPcZFVT46-sMDXZdPHTQbj1QCK9_bICXNmIQtFyL53/s1410/june2023favorites7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1410" data-original-width="1116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2dZI33xq2hgbiprUQEkl35D0as3cQ0PzmnboCw9TlW-uLT2X37jwyqx7Xf05hPQI_YzldDl_ChuLIamdfOB_3xrv1N4JGdY-KXuVQhqFG7czTXrIzy8Nzj_XQItU5OJj_XPcKTeeaZVKPOlClxrEPcZFVT46-sMDXZdPHTQbj1QCK9_bICXNmIQtFyL53/s16000/june2023favorites7.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Viseart Petites Mattes Neutral</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I've already depotted this one to another palette where I already have two Viseart palettes (<a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2020/08/review-viseart-eyeshadow-palette-warm.html" target="_blank">Warm Edit</a> and <a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2020/08/review-viseart-paris-edit-eyeshadow.html" target="_blank">Paris Edit</a>).

It's the perfect base for any eye makeup and the quality of their eyeshadows is always amazing. I love petite format, because it means I can use it up and they are so easy to depot into another empty palette. They blend like a dream, are pigmented and last well.

Centella asiatica is one of<b> my favorite skin care ingredients</b>, because it has great <b>healing capabilities</b> as well as <b>soothing</b>. Centella is known as tiger grass, because tigers would chew on it after fighting to help them heal their wounds with it. It's quite a well known ingredient in Asian skin care. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is <b>lightweight cleansing oil </b>which feels light on the skin, but it has that oily feel that makes it spread evenly and it <b>melts off even long lasting makeup</b>. It <b>turns into milk</b> as you put water on it. I tried it over my eyes as well and it didn't irritate, but my eyes are usually not very sensitive anyway. It doesn't leave any oily residue, but I always do a double cleanse anyway. You <b>need only a pump or two</b> for the whole face, which means it will last you a while.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has centella asiatica as an extract in it on the <b>base of sunflower seed oil</b>. There is a very faint sort of <b>fresh herbal scent</b>, but barely noticeable. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1RWI2zg_ky5BjAaY7qdCwrUsVmzHaVcXDAQwC1jMP8oMisSwH86tfLvuHmkcAk-1MOdy6ChwXYBRz874RA8VMc9NL9J_pfmXA-h6tBH6Q3iB75t6lplAXlB9Tlv1PcuBepN1xLmG4c54MoancrSxUP8WCZseMFsIYjesUpxzaI0p27_niRan_t9FYa0LU/s1200/skin1004madagascarcentellalightcleansingoil2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1RWI2zg_ky5BjAaY7qdCwrUsVmzHaVcXDAQwC1jMP8oMisSwH86tfLvuHmkcAk-1MOdy6ChwXYBRz874RA8VMc9NL9J_pfmXA-h6tBH6Q3iB75t6lplAXlB9Tlv1PcuBepN1xLmG4c54MoancrSxUP8WCZseMFsIYjesUpxzaI0p27_niRan_t9FYa0LU/s16000/skin1004madagascarcentellalightcleansingoil2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh12GanN0bC7w8Oi48n1Yuw5bqBXj9JXYXJfYxXgx7ibV1pUCcw-Ch6CrrPVKUL34OCexrVgPs5CYKiGBsCMH1GIdDS1fcmy4I7QTVd4S_-PXNHrMs0MPYi7fJenLli-8Q7kOl4nQubDS1eKk0i12IaiVgltA4cQJlMN4MkzirmPc3op3CqmQxLtUesVfJs/s1200/skin1004madagascarcentellalightcleansingoil3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh12GanN0bC7w8Oi48n1Yuw5bqBXj9JXYXJfYxXgx7ibV1pUCcw-Ch6CrrPVKUL34OCexrVgPs5CYKiGBsCMH1GIdDS1fcmy4I7QTVd4S_-PXNHrMs0MPYi7fJenLli-8Q7kOl4nQubDS1eKk0i12IaiVgltA4cQJlMN4MkzirmPc3op3CqmQxLtUesVfJs/s16000/skin1004madagascarcentellalightcleansingoil3.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #fbf9f7; color: #231f20;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ingredients: Ethylhexyl Stearate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Sorbeth-30 Tetraoleate, Centella Asiatica Extract (10,000ppm), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Limonene, Linalool</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: #fbf9f7; color: #231f20;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It comes in a very<b> chic looking design</b>.

Most skin care products have a certain percentage of centella asiatica in it, but this is pure extract. I've talked about the <b>soothing, calming and healing abilities</b> of this ingredient already. My skin loves it. It always calms my skin, soothes it and keeps it balanced and in good shape. I<b> used it all through winter in place of a serum</b> and <b>my skin always looked great</b>.

It has that same spreadability and it <b>removes long lasting makeup really well</b>. I used it over the eyes as well and you don't need a lot of rubbing to melt everything off. It again <b>turns into a milky consistency</b> as you splash it with water and there is no oily residue after you wash it off. I'd say both this one and Skin1004 are great, but for some reason I liked Skin1004 better - probably because of centella in it. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq0jK-6o8Lq0zdfslUyk6EI_XX1VCRImX0NELfFKm_C2SUEio37rI4lJXK5wPYQ2BKwz28src1IITXzukhAUhCyq9YI5JlJBSbkSwaMD3rwXjFS_OkMsGhO8sm53_wrIETv1AnFsc_U1ZSf2U5WsGnJPHhpJI6lkc6xGwpm3qLAfOfOfuVEgF2rYCXSIFQ/s1200/hadalabogokujyunoilcleansing2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq0jK-6o8Lq0zdfslUyk6EI_XX1VCRImX0NELfFKm_C2SUEio37rI4lJXK5wPYQ2BKwz28src1IITXzukhAUhCyq9YI5JlJBSbkSwaMD3rwXjFS_OkMsGhO8sm53_wrIETv1AnFsc_U1ZSf2U5WsGnJPHhpJI6lkc6xGwpm3qLAfOfOfuVEgF2rYCXSIFQ/s16000/hadalabogokujyunoilcleansing2.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Ingredients are apparently different with each series, but since the packaging is written only in Japanese, I can't read it.

This time I gave a try to the Aqua Gel version and it didn't disappoint either. It's a <b>sunscreen with chemical filters</b> and as per usual with Korean skin care, a very lightweight one with no white cast.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It's <b>white light cream</b> that almost<b> feels a bit like a gel cream</b> once you spread it. It <b>soaks into the skin leaving no white cast</b>, because it's so lightweight in texture. There is a very <b>fresh almost herbal scent</b> to it.

Mostly because I never really got to try a good one. I feel like those that I have tried either smelled like citrus toilet cleaner and were greasy and oily. Most vitamin C products come in oil formulation, because vitamin C is very unstable in water. Vitamin C also works best through the day as it's a powerful antioxidant to protect the skin of oxidative stress, but also to brighten any hyperpigmentation and marks. Therefore me using oil in the morning on my combination skin and applying makeup over it isn't ideal. This Vegreen Vitamin C Ampoule is also oil formulation, but it feels fairy light on the skin. Almost a bit like dry oil. I use tiny drop to mix with my moisturizer in the morning and it hasn't made me look greasy and makeup applies well over it. I also love that it doesn't have any toiler cleaner smell. So far I like it, but I will report back after a month or so to see how it works.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqy_r6w9BEU86kK2S4ZXtPBHETyXJUHbb-X9kh1gCYSuinJqqr7qYBAqhJKf6f0zkwT2m_fNlz1rihj7WSd6FCVglR9zUOjL30uVFIs9kRQ22PP-RB1OZu-m1kXLrlz7GYktBwO1dPM--VfmI2vNhNiujc84AjiGPdzmGnLsrfX4UkakgSCoBmnXx2KQ/s1200/may2023favorites3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqy_r6w9BEU86kK2S4ZXtPBHETyXJUHbb-X9kh1gCYSuinJqqr7qYBAqhJKf6f0zkwT2m_fNlz1rihj7WSd6FCVglR9zUOjL30uVFIs9kRQ22PP-RB1OZu-m1kXLrlz7GYktBwO1dPM--VfmI2vNhNiujc84AjiGPdzmGnLsrfX4UkakgSCoBmnXx2KQ/s16000/may2023favorites3.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Foundation - LW8</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I don't like buying high end foundations on a whim. That's why I looked at several reviews of this foundation and every makeup artist I follow seemed to love this one. Finding a match online, when you can swatch it in person is also terrifying. I used their app which matches you and the app gave me three options of color. I went for the second one and it really got it right. Surprisingly and thankfully. This is liquid foundation that feels lightweight on the skin and has an interesting luminous matte finish. It sounds like oxymoron, but it's true. It has a matte finish, but the finish has that very subtle sheen on the skin that makes it look heathy, but not shiny in any way. It keeps my skin matte for a long time and my sebum doesn't get through as quick as with other foundations. Coverage is a good medium that can be build up to full. Lovely foundation, especially for combination skin that likes coverage.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-3KA29yp2Kna8RC9IZay2DGwGqQ0T4jxE5Rt5GEFsPu2Wgmf2EtU5P5abmvQdCgsDVIWKowcVde4-TPNnfiBM0KRdGXsbua-un1MkmaOlIan__HO-tTdU0-5ZR46T1QTaTspFs8x4ec7LbNdzIDySokKn8vl2GQfmj4AURgJGiheYTWLl1Kcw2mwnFg/s1200/may2023favorites5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-3KA29yp2Kna8RC9IZay2DGwGqQ0T4jxE5Rt5GEFsPu2Wgmf2EtU5P5abmvQdCgsDVIWKowcVde4-TPNnfiBM0KRdGXsbua-un1MkmaOlIan__HO-tTdU0-5ZR46T1QTaTspFs8x4ec7LbNdzIDySokKn8vl2GQfmj4AURgJGiheYTWLl1Kcw2mwnFg/s16000/may2023favorites5.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Look by Bipa Delicate Compact Bronzer Bronzer & Contour Powder - 030 sunny beach</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Look by Bipa is a house brand of Bipa drugstore. I usually buy their products in Austrian Bipa. They sometimes have some really nice affordable makeup products. When I found this contour/bronzer products it looked like a really nice shade. And it is. It's that slightly greyish base in bronzer color. It can be used as both. Powder is smooth, but I do sometimes get a bit of patchiness, probably more due to my BB cream base more than the product itself. It gives me a bit of definition of a contour, but also bronzes up my skin without being too orange or redish, which I like. For the price this is great.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2023/06/review-paese-daily-vibe-palette-01-02.html" target="_blank">Paese Daily Vibe Palette - 02 Military Vibe</a></b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I love this palette, especially the light golden green shade which is super shimmery and gives my eyes that glass skin effect.

I use it to apply loose powder under my eyes, around the nose and on my chin. It fits all those tiny areas because of the triangle shape.

I am not usually a fan of scented shower products, but this one is so nice. It makes for such an enjoyable shower experience, so cosy. And the oil spreads easily, so you don't need a lot plus it leaves such a nice soft skin behind with no oil residue. I usually just skip body lotions after it. </p>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-53887699962442079822023-06-01T12:44:00.001+02:002023-06-05T13:10:49.567+02:00Review: Paese Daily Vibe Palette (01, 02) and Eyegasm Eyeliners and Mascara<p style="text-align: justify;">Paese is Polish cosmetic brand that has been coming out with lots of natural vegan formulas.

The quality has always been good. Eyeshadows are nicely pigmented, easy to blend and they don't loose intensity through the day. Eyeliners are just as good and stay put all day long. I would prefer a slightly more thinner formula personally, so I could go over the line several times and not get it too opaque and crunchy. Mascara is another great product that I now use every day. It just gives you a bit of everything, some volume and nice definition plus it stays put. I got occasional smudge, but nothing I couldn't rub off with my fingers.

All are around <b>2 minutes long</b>. You also have setting which include <b>basic or pro level</b>,<b> 5 levels of T-sonic pulsation</b> and <b>auto-off time</b>. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">You can <b>program your own treatment</b> and choose among <b>5 levels of T-sonic pulsation</b> and <b>10 levels of microcurrent</b>. The app also lets you <b>use your phone as a mirror </b>as well as <b>help you find your device</b>, if you can't find it. I like to create my own program, because I can adjust each level and I usually use it for longer than 2 minutes, more like 10 or 15.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>When I first used it</b>, I used it on about level 2 of microcurrent and <b>I felt those nerves above my eyes twitching somewhere in my brain</b>. It felt like a surreal feeling. I noticed that the more serum I had on the more I felt the tingle - quite obvious when a metal touches the water, it transfers more electricity/current. But then I got used to it. I<b> have come up to about level 5 or 6</b> and am staying here for a while. It f<b>eels like a little tingle </b>and you can even<b> see your tiny muscles twitching</b> as the current goes through the skin. T-sonic pulsation gives you that bit of pulsation that helps to sort of activate your skin care into the skin better, plus it has that sound feel to it as well. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">After the first use I noticed first results.<b> My face is very uneven</b> and my left side is very visibly lower than my right side. My left eye looks so much more hooded, outer corner is lower and even my brow is lower. I also noticed the skin around my chin being lower on my left side. So when I first used it, I <b>immediately notice how my left eye looked more opened and the brow was lifted</b>. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bear <b>fits great into all those contours of the face</b> like your jaw line, cheek contour, around the lips and even between the brows. I use it in all those contours and on the sides of the neck. I've noticed that this is <b>great to be used before any big events </b>or <b>before applying makeup</b>, because it definitely <b>brings out your contours more.</b> It gives your face that <b>instant lift</b>. It's <b>great for depuffing your face</b> in the morning or when you feel bloated.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Instant effects are noticeable after just one use, but <b>with prolong everyday us</b>e you definitely notice your <b>contours getting more defined</b> (defined jaw, defined cheeks, lifter eyebrows), your <b>face starts to look less round and puffy</b> and the <b>skin in general looks more plump</b>, dare I say healthier. I noticed that my <b>discoloration around my mouth looks less dark</b> (and I haven't introduced any brightening skin care product in my routine). I also noticed that my <b>nasolabial lines aren't as pronounced</b> as they used to be. I wasn't able to diminish my two prominent forehead lines, but I know this would need something much stronger. I also can't say about my fine lines around the eyes, because it doesn't bother me that much to be analyzing it. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">One thing I also noticed with the use is that microcurrent can really <b>help with healing scars faster</b>. I used it over my blemishes and I felt my blemish tingle much more intense than the rest of my skin. That being said, my <b>blemishes healed faster</b> and I've read since that microcurrent is also used to heal scars after surgeries and such, so it makes sense. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">You can see my results comparison on my IG <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18010073746633455/" target="_blank">FOREO Bear highlight</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggnrEhCEnMEJEb4b0EjezSCnYHS3w6HGBiw0bgs-prdX4SfudLAPLfL5uSWhCNx0kDzA4xerhLJX1DTSDlQii2QvfUwkQqucQUGmwZMeD9zLwmV7or0hgUN0mnGztiY-1yxyiVMNEEASft7BSLSzdYexTMjxJ3HTDaUYGqhW3l_6MCvmhoEXnySG-aGw/s1446/foreobearandufomini.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1446" data-original-width="1146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggnrEhCEnMEJEb4b0EjezSCnYHS3w6HGBiw0bgs-prdX4SfudLAPLfL5uSWhCNx0kDzA4xerhLJX1DTSDlQii2QvfUwkQqucQUGmwZMeD9zLwmV7or0hgUN0mnGztiY-1yxyiVMNEEASft7BSLSzdYexTMjxJ3HTDaUYGqhW3l_6MCvmhoEXnySG-aGw/s16000/foreobearandufomini.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;">My skin isn't getting any younger and I feel like this device is definitely a step up to my regular anti-aging routine. Foreo Bear is for those of us that notice our contours being less defined, our skin gravitate and fine lines becoming deeper. This is for those that start to notice those first signs of aging and would like to add something advanced to their routine. Device is easy to use and if you use it regularly you definitely start to notice improvement in contours, lines, but also texture and plumpness of the skin. It's the most known microcurrent device on the market and the technology behind it is on point. I love that I now have a device to work my facial muscles and help my skin care products work its best. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">You can also read about <a href="http://www.adjustingbeauty.com/2022/11/review-foreo-ufo-mini.html" target="_blank">FOREO UFO mini</a>, another great device from Foreo that I have tried out. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">*Products were sent to me. </span></p>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659052234358739368.post-42833534075839957772023-05-03T19:29:00.002+02:002023-05-03T19:29:30.532+02:00Review: Elinor Summer In A Bottle Body Illuminator - 01 Beige and Sunray Bronzer - Espresso <p style="text-align: justify;">Elinor is cosmetic brand by Karin Poravne and her partner Nik.

It's too dark for me. Formula isn't bad and I like the staying power due to the dry down. I prefer something with less colored base and just more shimmer. The shimmer is super fine which I love and the shine is definitely there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">As for the bronzer I am definitely in love. It's a great formula that blends like a dream, is very pigmented and stays well on the skin. The color suits me very well and it gives you that good skin care finish with natural luminosity. Plus you get so much product that you won't be able to use it all up.

It's essence toner that has only seven ingredients and it's based on Astragalus Root Water which contains betaine and minerals to moisturize. It's such a fun viscose texture that's also liquid so you can't say it's a toner, it's more of an essence. It feels so incredibly comforting on the skin and soothing. I feel it definitely moisturizes the skin, but is gentle, fairly basic and feels so good on the skin. I will repurchase a full size bottle, I got a mini to try it out first.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Foreo Serum</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This is hyaluronic acid serum that I got to use with Foreo Bear, because it's such a nice moisturizing texture that lets the Bear glide over the skin. My skin can feel dehydrated and it just soaked up this serum so I almost used it up already. It makes my skin feel so plump, moisturized and hydrated. It gives it that bounce and glow which I really like. I almost don't need to go with moisturizer on top. It contains such lovely ingredients like squalene, different types of hyaluronic acid, betaine, panthenol and urea. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Ordinary 100% Cold-Pressed Virgin Marula Oil</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I bought this oil quite a while ago. I remember hearing so much good stuff about marula oil and I know Drunk Elephant has one that is so popular, but also so expensive. Marula oil is supposedly moisturizing oil, great for dry skin because it contains oleic and linoleic acid that support skin hydration. It's also rich in antioxidant and should restore the radiance in your skin. I am not a huge fan of oils, but I tend to use them, when I feel my skin being a bit dehydrated. I use this on top of my serums and moisturizer to lock it all in. It's fairly lightweight for a natural oil and it doesn't clog my pores. Natural scent is almost undetectable. My skin always feels nicely soft and moisturized whenever I use it.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvacX21auPQFVmEicrJVYiu13x9FKsrFbgq66hhHczE5n4O2XuoFUd-DPcxeAZBn1cW2580pUMUN3HlKWMpgftuy86G3hqrRCNG_M2R-Y0zUv9AX2KiHKbRNHaAOIhbczD77NPiNqj2JWFuZWWqVT50pXAJLbQmv3Xtxhv0qSX1AHEn-ju9iSbWCABvA/s1200/april2023favorites4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvacX21auPQFVmEicrJVYiu13x9FKsrFbgq66hhHczE5n4O2XuoFUd-DPcxeAZBn1cW2580pUMUN3HlKWMpgftuy86G3hqrRCNG_M2R-Y0zUv9AX2KiHKbRNHaAOIhbczD77NPiNqj2JWFuZWWqVT50pXAJLbQmv3Xtxhv0qSX1AHEn-ju9iSbWCABvA/s16000/april2023favorites4.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Elinor Sunray Bronzer - Espresso</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I will post a full review next of this and another Elinor product. This is by Slovenian brand Elinor created by Karin Poravne and her partner. It's such a good formula. Based on shea butter with some other skin care ingredients that give you that luminous natural sheen to the skin. It's super creamy, very pigmented and blends like a dream. I love the warm true bronzer tone to it and it's actually perfect for my light skin tone. Plus you get so much products that you aren't able to even use it all up.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8jiXndVcy3rO86l363_Z5lXE5J1tM6DA4owgKmi_2uO-MRVI17l9Lon-fnoYnSvfITk2Gewp3BMia9N5PvtC2icblI5dCPuROqGKMrcrvIYkQ6iIBgKLJEl5pJDolIJSFbDTVLxs6Bd-Z32ItY9yvTfxl98Z-yi4YtzPNU5E65weR-fp7YZAhm47qPA/s1200/april2023favorites5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8jiXndVcy3rO86l363_Z5lXE5J1tM6DA4owgKmi_2uO-MRVI17l9Lon-fnoYnSvfITk2Gewp3BMia9N5PvtC2icblI5dCPuROqGKMrcrvIYkQ6iIBgKLJEl5pJDolIJSFbDTVLxs6Bd-Z32ItY9yvTfxl98Z-yi4YtzPNU5E65weR-fp7YZAhm47qPA/s16000/april2023favorites5.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Essence The Blush - 90 Bedazzling</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I got it as a gift from someone. I think these blushes by Essence are quite popular. It's one of those affordable makeup product that just delivers what you want. It has velvet matte finish with the slightest almost unseen sheen. It blends fairly easy and the colors are all pretty wearable. I have 90 Bedazzling which is one of those muted dirty apricot shades that I love to pair with my warmer neutral eyeshadows or when I don't want anything too vibrant on my cheeks. It almost blend into my bronzer shade.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgepIH_0ClTQKeSiHSz3r6Rj2_AIlCqdXvnKKVqcjl8YjIEBjoyZ1UB0SJd2R-SSyyJ7gVVSNaTteeUkiRX2Wy-xlCg-9-jEaQl5AC8IeTlpOtCIH9UX8BJFsmvr5147VnM1aEWeZFrGsmU9vn6-smVCBgeGy-Uv5vowCeqK6QcZkSgRk4OEEy-IzfeHg/s1200/april2023favorites6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgepIH_0ClTQKeSiHSz3r6Rj2_AIlCqdXvnKKVqcjl8YjIEBjoyZ1UB0SJd2R-SSyyJ7gVVSNaTteeUkiRX2Wy-xlCg-9-jEaQl5AC8IeTlpOtCIH9UX8BJFsmvr5147VnM1aEWeZFrGsmU9vn6-smVCBgeGy-Uv5vowCeqK6QcZkSgRk4OEEy-IzfeHg/s16000/april2023favorites6.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Paese Daily Vibe Palette - 02 Military Vibe</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I dropped this palette and broke it, that's why it looks so bad. But I was able to fix it, because it quickly became my favorite. I love a good green eyeshadow moment and I especially love that army vibe. The star of this palette is the second top shade which is almost like a cream with lots of tin green, silver and gold shimmers that give your eyes that glossy yellow green look. This shade is so gorgeous. It's paired with a matte beige, matte muddy olive and very interesting duo chrome that looks like nothing in the pan, but on the eyes it gives you that brown eggplant base with gorgeous peacock green blue sheen. Plus they blend well and they are very long lasting.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Paese Eyegasm Mascara</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It has one of those short bristled silicon wands that actually coats lashes well. It's vegan formula based on natural waxes and oils that should also provide some nourishment to your lashes for better growth. They promise it to be volumising, lengthening and curling. I would say it gives your lashes a nice definition, definitely some volume, but I don't see a lot of lengthening. I like that it still keeps lashes fairly defined and it doesn't look too clumpy. It's the kind of effect I prefer, volume, but still some definition. Plus it stays put, no crumbling and no transfer, which is great. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0JGgWVuP8iKwQ7py5noPKj0XIcio_FHnGaN_xK4mfHPnkwlWW2PBzPB6O410HU3K18HLHrpVnrpKvc5naKfVYGISPMNfr1HNXhtXArE-zPsVbYpExyq2OJjC-K0t-642_vSaEL-EiL-zKjnRvJxem94R2Q06XnAHPm5bJQ8_19y248Dn5VLTx9DJzA/s1729/april2023favorites2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1729" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0JGgWVuP8iKwQ7py5noPKj0XIcio_FHnGaN_xK4mfHPnkwlWW2PBzPB6O410HU3K18HLHrpVnrpKvc5naKfVYGISPMNfr1HNXhtXArE-zPsVbYpExyq2OJjC-K0t-642_vSaEL-EiL-zKjnRvJxem94R2Q06XnAHPm5bJQ8_19y248Dn5VLTx9DJzA/s16000/april2023favorites2.jpg" /></a></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Balea Beauty Expert Body Cremegel 5% Niacinamide</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">I am almost finished with this tube and I wanted to feature it in my favorites once again. This is thinner body lotion that has consistency which is sort of slimy like snail mucin, but it has amazing smooth feel and spredability. It's super smooth under the fingers. Formula contains glycerin, niacinamide, panthenol, hyaluronic acid and some oils. It's soothing, nourishing and great for more sensitive or dry skin, but it also feels so lightweight. There is no added perfume and short ingredients list makes this one of the products I would consider rebuying. </p>Adjusting Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00353518061780952092noreply@blogger.com0
