LFBB unboxing | September 17
Here comes another unboxing with some first impressions, my review of last month’s box and an update on the price conundrum from the past box.
the Ordinary Coverage foundation . up close and poresonal
it finally arrived, and I spend a whole day with it on my face to show you how it performs on combo, acne prone, ageing skin.
please keep in mind that this was *my* personal experience with it, and sort of a first impressions.
for more information on how to choose your shade, please read my post on the Serum Foundation.
where to buy: I usually go to Victoria Health for everything The Ordinary, but you can also buy the Colours range directly from the Deciem — the Ordinary website.
affordable makeup haul & first impressions
buckle up because this is a long one!
I’ve been collecting a few bits and pieces of affordable makeup brands (supermarket, drugstore, pharmacy, high street), and I decided to do a video where I try several of those products on my face and get to see how they behave throughout the day.
you can find most of the products at your local drugstore/pharmacy, but Feelunique, Look Fantastic and Boots International are always great international references for these kinds of brands (except Essence, Kiko, H&M and Makeup Revolution).
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge (Look Fantastic, Feelunique)
L’Oréal True Match Foundation (not many shades at Feelunique, but you can find it at your local drugstore)
Essence 2 in 1 Highlight and Contouring stick
Essence I Love Color Intensifying Eyeshadow Base
Essence My Must Haves Eyeshadow 14 – Purple Clouds
Makeup Revolution Eyeshadow in Purple Heaven — I couldn’t, for the life of me, find an online store that looked reliable, so check your local drugstore or pharmacy to see if they carry the brand.
Essence Eye and Face Palette 01
Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded Mascara
L’Oréal True Match Pressed Powder, again, through Feelunique or Lookfantastic
Essence My Must Haves Highlighter Powder
Essence Strobing Highlighter in let it glow!
Essence My Must Haves Lip Base
Essence My Must Haves Lip Powder
Essence Glossy Stick Lip Colour 02 – clear nude
also mentioned but not worn:
Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation
H&M Sensorium Eye Color in Cuveè Rose
Up Close and Poresonal — L’Oréal Total Cover
So, here are the claims: “(…) a flawless, full coverage base that lasts up to 24 hours. The zero compromise, camouflage formula covers everything from blemishes, redness and tattoos without the overload, while the matte finish leaves you with an even, shine-free base. No compromise. No transfer. No overload”
This sounds perfect for my hyper pigmentation and my blemish and all-over un-evenness.
You can trust me to shove my face on your screen to show you how it all went down, warts and all…
You can find this foundation in your local drugstores, and online at Feelunique. The shade range varies depending on the country/shop you buy it from.
innisfree . first impressions
after a long wait (and a lot of trees killed in the process)this ps with customs, I finally dug deep into my little package from the other side of the world, getting to know a bit more about Korean drugstore beauty and skincare.
mulled wine . smokey eyes for the new year’s I
this is the first of three looks I’m planning on posting for a New Year’s Eve party — or any social event when you’re in the mood for a more glam look.
this first one has some rusty cranberry shades that are quite on trend.
since I was given a new palette for Christmas — the Zoeva Cocoa Blend Palette — I decided to give it a go on camera. and oh, boy, was I pleasantly surprised!
