La Roche Posay: Effaclar Duo [+] Unifiant

Živjo.

Zelo me veseli, da Vam lahko danes predstavim slednji izdelek. Namreč v tistih dneh v mesecu ali ob stresu, ko se mi pojavijo nepravilnosti vedno posežem po LRP Duo [+] kremi za obraz (Več v tej objavi). To je krema proti nepravilnostim in madežem. Vem, da imamo vsi različno kožo, vendar meni ta krema res ustreza in hitro vidim rezultate. Pred kratkim pa so pri LRP lansirali še posebno dnevno nego, ki deluje korektivno oziroma poenoti polt.

Zakaj me je tako pritegnila?
Kadar se koža spopada z nepravilnostmi (zamašenimi porami, mozolji, lisami ipd.), je ni dobro zakrivati s plastmi pudra, saj koža težje diha oziroma se lahko zamašijo pore - že zaradi določenih sestavin. Čeprav lahko običajno nego Duo [+] uporabljate čez dan in ponoči, je Unifiant tako super za vsak dan, ko potrebujete nekaj korekcije, pa še zelo lepo diši kot celotna Effaclar linija. Jaz bi rekla, da gre za BB kremo namenjeno nepravilnostim. Ne masti, saj je tekstura zelo lahkotna, ter je tako primerna za skoraj vse tipe kože. In če ste "mastnokožka" veste kako težko je najti "BB kremo", zato je meni Unifiant super !
Primerna pa je tudi za občutljivo kožo saj vsebuje termalno vodo La Roche-Posay, ki je naravno bogata s selenom z dokazanimi dermatološkimi učinki: pomirja kožo, zmanjšuje razdraženost in deluje kot antioksidant.

Hi girls !
I'm very excited and happy to share with you a new innovation from La Roche Posay. You might have already read about their LRP Duo [+] cream on my blog (here), since it's kind of my holly grail product when any impurities develop on my skin. Especially at that week in the month.
I know each skin is different, however mine really likes that cream and with a regular use I can always see the difference it makes on my skin. However, today I'm going to talk about a new DUO [+] which is a corrective, daily care for unifying the skin tone.

I was really intrigued about it because to be honest, it is not good to cover up the skin which suffers with impurities (clogged pores, blemishes, marks etc.). With many layers of foundation or powder it cannot breathe, which can leas to even more impurities. That's where Unifiant comes in. It is a daily corrective care which offers a bit of coverage and it purifies the skin and clogged pores. To me it is like a BB cream for blemish prone skin and also oily skin. It is really light weight so it could suit all skin types. Plus it smells nice, just like whole Effaclar range.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo [+] Unifiant

To kremo lahko uporabljate kot dnevni vlažilec ali pred nanosom tekočega pudra s katerim dodate večjo prekrivnost. Prekrivnost kreme je bolj lahka, vendar izravna mojo polt, da ni tako rdeča temveč je poenotena. Čeprav je lahkotna in se ne svetim, svojo kožo fiksiram še z matirnim pudrom, da je kremica še dlje obstojna. Predvsem pa me je zanimalo ali se lahko tudi ta krema pohvali z odličnimi lastnostmi boja proti nepravilnostim. Nekako se mi zdi, da je nežnejša različica in je predvsem potrebna redna uporaba, da pomaga proti večjim nepravilnostim. Predvsem pa ne maši por. Spremembe morda niso tako velike tudi zato, ker je ne nosim cel dan v primerjavi z Effaclar DUO [+], kateri je na moji koži celo noč. Vseeno pa jih takoj opazim ! Super je v tistih "dneh v mesecu" ali, ko sem pod stresom in se mi spustijo kakšni mozoljčki: malce jih zakrijem ter se hkrati bojujem proti njim.

Odtenki:

Light je na začetku malce pretemen zame, saj imam vrat popolnoma bel. Nato se lepo zlije s kožo. Seveda odtenek ni popoln za "sneguljčice" kakor sem jaz, vendar je primeren za svetel/normalen ten kože.

Medium je seveda za 1 odtenek pretemen za moj ten kože, vendar bi bil v redu poleti, če pridobim nekaj barve. Vseeno pa se mi zdi, da se malce prilagodi mojemu tenu kože ter čez nekaj časa ne izgledam več tako oranžna.

Skratka Vam izdelek priporočam, če se želite znebiti nepravilnosti ter poenotiti polt brez obtežitve kože (v lekarni pa "pocukajte" gospodične tudi za kakšen tester). In hkrati ne pozabite na dobro čiščenje kože.

MP Cena: 16,65 € (dobite jo v lekarni ter pri pooblaščenih prodajalcih)

Left: Medium | Right: Light

Unifiant is a nice, light weight daily moisturiser but also you can use it before applying a foundation which would offer you more coverage. Coverage is quite light, however it evens out the skin tone, especially some redness. It doesn't leave a greasy residue, however I mattify it to last longer. Plus it doesn't clog up the pores.

Most important is if it works as well as Effaclar DUO [+], to eliminate impurities ?

I do think Unifiant is a gentler version, however with a regular use you can see a lot of changes. I noticed smaller changes which could be due to not wearing it the whole day in comparison to Effaclar DUO [+] which stays on my skin all through the night. Plus my skin is not that troubled: only at that time of the month or when I'm stressed and impurities just burst out on top of my skin.

Light shade is at start just a tiny bit too dark for my completely white/porcelain skin, however it does somehow blend in. It's appropriate for normal/light complexion.

Medium shade is of course a shade too dark, however it could be nice for summer time. Also after some time my skin doesn't look that orange anymore.

All in all, I recommend this product for anyone with blemish prone/troubled skin and/or If you need something corrective but also light weight, without any mask effect. I use it daily when I don't want that much coverage. Also let's not forget that impure skin needs to be cleansed good on daily basis as well.

Empties #20

afroditacosmetics

Hi girls.
Another 2 and a half months have passed and here I am talking about my trash. This time around I used up some products which I'll miss, however I cannot hoard them anymore. Also it's starting to get cold and after this post I'm trying to use up more body butters.

Garnier Neo deodorant - Light Freshness, Pure Cotton & Shower Clean.

I tested all the scents of these new Garnier Neo deodorants. I actually really like them, however I got a problem with the packaging. You can use them for just a few times and then all of a sudden it is completely empty. Just like the spray disappeared and I've heard it happened to many girls. Only one was completely fine and that's why I used so many of them, so quickly! I'm just not willing to risk that in the future. Other than that, it is a really nice deodorant. It protects me whole day and the actual spray is really gentle on the skin. First two scents were really light and maybe not my go to. However the Shower Clean scent was nicely refreshing but clean smelling, not too light.

Repurchase: no

Rexona Stress Control anti-perspirant

I think this one was one of my favorite deodorants so far. I love Rexona for hot and busy days since it protects me very well, however this one is a bit more special. Well, it just has that fresh, citrus smell to it which I love ! Sadly it is not made for black clothes.

Repurchase: yes

Dove Invisible dry anti-perspirant

This is the first spray deodorant I've tried from Dove (well this is the second bottle). And to be honest I was quite pleasantly surprised. It has a light scent, however the protection lasts all day long. Also this one work nicely on black clothes.

Repurchase: yes

Rituals Happy Buddha foaming shower gel

This was such a treat for skin ! With mandarin & yuzu it felt very refreshing. And it is not a commercial citrus scent, but has relaxing feel to it. The foam was thick and very nourishing. You don't see products like this often. You can read a review here.

Repurchase: maybe

Balea After Sun shower gel

A really nice after sun refreshment. While it doesn't contain any aloe very, it still soothes sun burns. And it smells like tropical vacations: coconuty. Also if you want something to remind you of summer, this one would be great.

Repurchase: yes (next summer)

Balea Fruity Cranberry shower gel

I'm not sure this scent is still available since Balea changes them all the time, however it was lovely, very fruity. Not as much as Frosted Cranberry by TBS, but ok. It was a decent shower gel, not too drying but nothing special either. It's cheap and ok if you're on a budget. However, this packaging was annoying because I had to squeeze it a lot to get the product out of the tiny hole.

Repurchase: nope

Schwarzkopf got2b Rise 'n Shine hairspray

I really didn't like this hairspray. Because it's supposed to give your hair some shine, it actually made my hair look greasy and I'm not a fan of that ! The hold was ok. But it smelled really nice.

Repurchase: no

Schwarzkopf Taft Ultimate Hair spray

This hair spray has the best hold (nr. 6), so it's kind of weather proof. It can make your hair stick together since it has such a strong hold to it, however sometimes I want my curls to really stay put.

Repurchase: yes

Duchesse Cosmetic Cotton Pads

Because I use up cotton pads so often I like buying cheap ones. These are not the best because they're quite thin, but they totally work and I would say they're nice !

Repurchase: yes (always)

Fresh & Clean makeup removing wipes (fro dry and sensitive skin)

I like these. They remove my makeup well & they smell nice. Also the packaging is nice with that plastic top (+ I've seen these on sale a lot !)

Repurchase: probably

L'Oreal makeup remover (eyes & lips)

I really liked this one because it is great for waterproof mascara. It has two phases, so you have to shake it up firstly. Because it is oil based, it takes no effort removing makeup. Some might not like the greasy feeling, however I don't think there's anything wrong with it, since I cleanse my skin afterwards as well.

Repurchase: maybe

Ren Flash Rinse 1 minute facial

This face mask was quite interesting. You have to use it with water to activate the vitamin C. Though it brightens the skin, it also leaves a dry feeling behind. And it's quite expensive.

Repurchase: no

The Body Shop Strawberry hand cream

They make some of the best smelling products. Though the prices are not small, sometimes I like to treat myself. This Strawberry line is so lovely. A very fresh strawberry scent, so delicious, Hand creams are not particularly moisturizing, however I like that the texture is light and sinks in quickly, so it's perfect for on the go.

Repurchase: yes

Afrodita Cosmetics SOS lotion

This is a great product ! It's for calming the skin, if it's burned or you have a insect bite. I really liked it an sometimes I used it after a depilation since it really does calm the skin. The texture is very liquid and light weight, so it sinks in right away. And the smell is very light.

Repurchase: yes

Duchesse Intimate Wipes

I really like these. They are wet enough and nicely calming. I use them mostly during that "time of the month"

Repurchase: yes

Rituals Good Luck Scrub

I absolutely loved the whole set I got from Rituals (more here). This scrub was quite effective and harsh, so I used it in moderation. Though it had big particles of sugar, it also contained some oils which left my skin moisturised and really soft. It also had kind of a fresh scent. If you don't like abrasive and good scrubs, this one might not be for you.

Repurchase: maybe

Lancôme Grandiôse Liner: Trendy Blue Eyeliner for Fall

bendableliner

Živjo punce !

Danes Vam bom predstavila črtalo s katerim sem zadnje čase precej obsedena. Živo obarvana črtala so bila hit že poleti, tokrat pa sem safirno moder odtenek želela vključiti v jesensko rutino ličenja. Pred leti sem vsakodnevno posegla po črnem tekočem črtalu, nato me je ta faza minila, zdaj pa se z veseljem vračam k mačjim očem ali tanjšo linijo, kadar le imam čas. Za jesenski videz je barvno črtalo odlično v kombinaciji z rahlimi naravnimi odtenki na vekah ter toplimi, rjavimi odtenki ustnic. Prav tako ga kombiniram z rdečilom v naravnem odtenku ali pa namesto tega na ličkih uporabim kar bronzer. Naj še omenim, da mi je bilo izredno težko najti intenzivno obarvan moder eyeliner. Tega pa sem našla pri znamki Lancôme. Zato si zasluži tudi mojo delitev mnenja, saj gre za inovativno obliko (po Grandiôse maskari). Če Vam takšni odtenki niso všeč, pa imajo na voljo še intenzivno črn ter rjav odtenek.

"Namerno ukrivljena krtačka omogoča večjo prožnost in ustvarjalnost ter lepše oči. Črtalo Grandiôse s svojim držalom, ukrivljenim za 35 stopinj, v trenutku poenostavi tehniko za izboljšan nanos. 35 stopinj izraženih v 360-stopinjski ustvarjalnosti. Ročaj črtala Grandiôse je mogoče upogniti z zasukom in uporabiti v dveh različnih položajih: ravno in ukrivljeno. V nagnjenem položaju je mogoče vse, saj črtalo doseže zgornjo linijo trepalnic lažje in natančneje, od notranjega do zunanjega roba. Tehnika je prijaznejša do uporabnikov, poenostavljena in neomejena. Črtalo Grandiôse ima tudi izjemno tanko konico (samo 0,2 mm) z najlonskimi mikrovlakni in smolnato teksturo za popolno prožnost: dve glavni značilnosti za popolno natančnost linij. Gre za črtalo, ki se namoči, kar pomeni, da bo konica vpila ravno zadostno količino izdelka, ko jo pomočite v stekleničko."

Lancôme Grandiôse Liner Saphir Mirifique

03 Saphir Mirifique

Odtenek je čudovite kobaltno (safirno) modre barve z mat finišem. Morda ni za vsakogar, vendar je meni naravnost čudovit. Prav tako težko najdeš tak odtenek v drogerijah. Sicer pravijo, da je modro črtalo najboljše za uporabo pri rjavih ali modrih očeh, da le te še bolj padejo v pogled. Vendar se meni zdi, da paše tudi na moje oči.

Pigmentiranost je dobra, vendar ko rišete linijo se zmanjša intenziteta odtenka, zato je potrebno konico ponovno namočiti. Vendar tudi ob nanašanju več plasti, črta izgleda zelo lepa, se ne razpoka ter je odtenek enake intenzitete. Črtalo pa se ob nanašanju zelo hitro suši ter se ne razpaca. Nanašanje je zelo enostavno saj je konica dovolj trda, da lahko narišeš lepo linijo. Rekla bi, da je naklon črtala inovativen in lahko pomaga pri risanju linije saj lahko roko kar naslonite na obraz. Kljub temu ti naklon lahko omogoča, da dosežeš težavne predele, kadar so trepalnice v napoto ter se lahko umetniško igrate. Tako mi kot 35 stopinj na desnem očesu omogoča, da narišem linijo v minuti, med tem, ko se pri desnem očesu malce zaplete. Zato je primeren tudi za začetnike.

Črtalo se lahko odstrani z toplo/vročo vodo. Res enostavno. Sama pa si pomagam z micelarno vodo, pri čemer se črtalo v bistvu v pikicah "odsvaljka" ter ga je izredno lahko odstraniti.

Čeprav so moje veke mastne se črtalo ne razmaže, pod očmi pa se minimalno odtisne (običajno se mi v kotičku očesa lahko čez nekaj ur naredi odtis), tako da je dobro obstojen skozi celoten dan. V bistvu je "smudge proof", saj vsebuje lateksov polimer, ki ustvari ščit ter nanos varuje ves dan

Skratka črtalo je čudovito, saj je precizno - enostavno za nanašanje in v zelo lepem odtenku. Gre za luksuzen izdelek, ki pa s svojo odlično kvaliteto sploh ne razočara ! Za še bolj intenziven izgled pa bi lahko uporabila tudi modro maskaro.

Cena: nekje 32€

Lancôme presents a new eyeliner, with a 35 degree bendable wand for the most precise & easy to apply liquid liner looks.. It might look gimmicky, however it was designed for you to reach the lash line and apply liner easier.

The tip on the liner is quite high precision, since it's so pointed and very easy to manage. The finish is matt but very intense. You do have to dip back in when the intensity minimises, however even if you layer it, it won't crack and will still feel comfortable on the eyelids. Plus it dries very fast so you won't end up with smudges all over your eyes. I don't usually use the bendable tip, because I'm quite fond with doing the liquid liner, however I can see how it would help you achieve the best line you can. If you bend it, you can balance the arm on the face and it makes everything easier but also you could do some artsy liner. Great for beginners ! Also it makes application very easy on the right eye, but it takes quite some practice to do the same on the left one. I will say that because the tip is so precise, it makes my eyeliner go on very smoothly and easier than some other liner designs.

You can remove it with water, which is weird but great ! Though it means you can't cry while wearing it. I remove it with a micellar water and it is just so effortless as it crumbles off in little pieces. However it is still smudge proof, so if you rub your eyelids (gently) it won't come off unless you rub them very well. On me it is very long wearing. I have oily eyelids and usually face with marks under my eyes, but with this one, I have minimum of those - barely visible.

The rich blue color is absolutely stunning and very intense. Also it is adds pop of color on the eyes, no matter the color. I can't say anything bad about it since the formula is so high end, which probably won't disappoint you. I'm just obsessed with this eyeliner. Of course it is also available in black and brown color. You could combine this bright eyeliner with blue mascara, if you're feeling bold.

Price: around 32€

Moč Žensk z L'Occitane: Arlésienne

loccitane

Pozdravljene,

Na zadnji konferenci lepotnih blogerk so nas skupaj s kozmetiko L'Occitane spodbudili k razmišljanju, da je vsaka ženska unikatna ter moramo biti samosvoje. Velikokrat se tudi v blogerskem svetu tre in se prevečkrat primerjamo po dosežkih ter svojih uspehih. Pa vendar bi si ženske morale pomagati. Saj, če se podpiramo med seboj, lahko dosežemo velike stvari #womenpower ! Torej brez gledanja navzdol, poniževanja drugih žensk ter sovražnosti. V vsakem primeru pa more vsaka slediti svojemu srcu ter se zavedati, da smo vse drugačne ter se ne smemo truditi biti nekaj kar nismo. Pomoč pa lahko poiščemo pri drugi ženski saj se le me razumemo med seboj (moški verjetno nikoli ne bodo razumeli žensk v določenih aspektih). Skupaj smo močne in nas noben ne more ustaviti.

- "Za vsako uspešno žensko je pleme uspešnih žensk, ki ji krijejo hrbet."

Oktober je tudi mesec boja proti raku na dojkah, pri čemer moramo druga drugo opozarjati na nevarnosti, pregledovanje dojk ter se v dobrem in slabem podpirati saj se lahko zgodi vsaki od nas - vem, da se sliši zlajnano, vendar je res.

Tako L'Occitane z novo dišavo Arlésienne predstavlja žensko, ki je lahko točno tisto kar želi biti. Njen brezčasni kontrastni značaj žene globoka želja po drugačnosti, neponovljivosti.

Gre za preplet stolistne vrtnice, vijolice ter žafrana. pri čemer je dišava na začetku precej osvežilna, nato pa pridejo do izraza kremne note belega maska. Te tri cvetlice, ki simbolizirajo lepoto Provanse, razkrivajo mnogo obrazov: mehkost, drznost in impulzivnost. Skratka: cvetlično-mošusno razkošje dišave.

Preizkusila sem kremo za roke in balzam za ustnice iz te kolekcije. Moji prvi vtisi:

Krema je svilnata ter zmehča kožo, karitejevo maslo pa jo nahrani. Odišavljena je kot parfumček ter vonj zdrži na rokah še nekaj časa. Ni najbolj hranilna krema za roke, ter je primerna predvsem za tiste, ki imate rade lepo odišavljene kreme za roke.

Očarljivi balzam za ustnice Arlésienne je gostejše teksture vendar ne preveč lepljiv. Definitivno pa vonjam dišavo Arlésienne, kar meni na začetku ni všeč, vendar se lepo razdiši. Pusti vlažilen občutek ter malce sijaja.
Embalaža obeh pa je tako delikatna in čudovita ! V tem L'Occitanu kar uspeva.

Kolekcija vsebuje: toaletno vodo, očarljivi gel za prhanje in kopel, lepotilno mleko za telo, očarljivi balzam za ustnice ter svilnato kremo za roke.

Če imaš rada katero žensko, je L'Occitane Arlésienne kolekcija popolno darilo, da jo razveseliš kar tako - ni potrebnega razloga !

* Na voljo v trgovinah L’OCCITANE in spletni trgovini www.loccitane.si od 3. novembra 2016.

MAC - Studio Fix Fluid foundation & Pro Longwear Concealer

concealer

Živjo punce!

Na to oceno ste verjetno čakale kar nekaj časa. In čeprav lahko o MAC izdelkih na spletu preberete zelo veliko, sem jih želela pokazati na svoji koži ter sporočiti ali so vredni svoje cene. Ker gre za izdelke za oblikovanje osnovne podlage, je potrebno izbrati tudi pravilen odtenek. Tako je moj obraz proti rumenkastem telesu, precej roza. Kljub temu izberem podlago ali korektor z rumenim podtonom, da se sklada s telesom. Pri MAC izdelkih imam tako večjo izbiro, saj pokrivajo vse tone polti. In nič ni boljšega kot preizkušati nove tekoče pudre ter korektorje saj jih uporabljam v vsakodnevni rutini ter jih je najlažje dobro testirati. MAC izdelke uporabljajo tudi vizažisti. Tako cene niso nizke in tudi pričakujem večjo kvaliteto.

Hello girls !

This has been a longtime coming review. I know you can read a lot about MAC products online in general, however I still wanted to share my opinion on whether these products are worth it and how they look on my porcelain skin. Though my face is quite pink, my body is quite yellow toned. That is why I choose yellow toned foundation or concealer. And lately I've been trying many different foundations and concealers because to be honest I need them in my daily routine and are so easy to test through. MAC products are not something I buy monthly because of the price, however when I do purchase something I want it to be high quality.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid foundation and Pro Longwear Concealer

Studio Fix Fluid foundation (NW13)

Seveda sem tekoči puder izbrala v enem izmed najsvetlejših odtenkov, da se kar dobro zlije z mojo poltjo. Sicer imajo na voljo še NW10, vendar je izgledal malce rozasto. Prodajalka pa je moj ton kože povezala z NW13, kateri se mi zdi kar super.

Obrazložitev odtenkov: NC = neutral cool (ne hladno - za zlato/toplo polt), NW= neutral warm (ne toplo - za hladne/roza polti). Njihove označbe te tako lahko zmedejo.

Pa vendar NW13 na meni izgledajo zelo nevtralno. Pa vendar ista označba ne bo pomenila enakega odtenka pri vseh tipih izdelka, zato ga je potrebno prej preizkusiti.

Pa gremo k teksturi. Ta je tekoča, vendar lahkotna in se enostavno zabriše. Prekrivnost je srednja do polna, tako da že 1 sam potisk na pumpico zagotavlja kar dobro prekrivnost. Vonj je sicer umeten (po barvi), vendar kar hitro izgine. Sam končen učinek je na pol matt (imam mastno kožo) in na vrh vedno dodam puder za zaključek. Sicer bi si želela da bi bil res matt, vendar bi na bolj mešani ali suhi koži izgledal popolnoma vredu. Na koncu dneva moj nos precej sije, ampak ne izgledam preveč mastno. Prav tako se ne stopi z obraza tako hitro. Je kar kvaliteten puder, vendar ima cenejši dvojnik: Revlon Colorstay, kateri je na moji koži malce bolj obstojen. Embalaža je steklena in kvalitetna, vendar je pumpico potrebno kupiti posebej (4€), kar je spet dodaten strošek, vendar jo lahko uporabljate še za druge pudre.

Rada bi preizkusila še Pro Longwear tekoči puder, saj mislim, da mi je prodajalka skušala pojasniti, da je še bolj obstojen ter primeren za moj masten tip kože. Morda drugič !

Cena: nekje 32€ (v Evropi)

I have second lightest shade and it kind of matches my porcelain skin tone. When I was choosing the shade, NW10 I think looked too pink and the sales girl showed/matched me to NW13, which was just perfect.

Let me explain their marks: NC = neutral cool (not cool - golden toned skin), NW= neutral warm (not warm - pink toned). Confusing right ? So that way I would need NC13, which doesn't exist (only NC15, which is too dark for me). The shade NW13 looks completely neutral on me and I don't think I look pink nor orange.

To me, it all depends on type of their products. You can also check online how the colors look and every foundation, because no matter the same number, the shades look different.

As it goes for the texture, it's smooth, quite liquid and really easy to blend. Coverage is medium to full, which means you need only one pump for a natural looking skin. The smell is kind of artificial (paint-like) but it disappears quickly. The finish is semi-matt and I always set it with powder afterwards. To me, it could be more matt, however on drier skin, it would look ok. Even though at the end of the day I look quite shiny/glowy (in a positive way), it doesn't wear off that much. It is a nice foundation, however if you don't like to spend so much money on it, a nice dupe is Revlon Colorstay, which is more long-lasting on my skin. Packaging is a glass bottle which feels really nice, however you do have to buy a pump separately (around 4€), which is kind of annoying, but you can use it for other foundations later as well.

Still I'm contemplating whether at that time I should've just bought Pro Longwear Foundation because I think the lady who was helping me, tried to tell me that it would last longer and be more mattifying. Maybe next time.

Price: around 32€ (in Europe...cheaper in USA)

Pro Longwear Concealer (NC15)

In še izdelek, ki ga uporabljam dlje časa, je njihov famozni korektor. Ta je tudi v stekleni embalaži, vendar že s pumpico, ki priročna. Kljub temu imam z njo majhen problem, ker vsakič ven priteče preveč izdelka, ki ga morem potem razporediti po celem obrazu. Moti me pa zato, ker rada uporabljam različne korektorje za različne predele (pod očmi, okoli nosu ter na nepravilnostih).

Tekstura je malce gosta, vendar tako zagotavlja popolno prekrivnost ter potrebujete zelo majhno količino. Priporočam dobro zabrisovanje, da se izdelek ne usede v linije na obrazu. Na obrazu ostane skoraj ves dan, zato mi je res odličen.

Odtenek NC15 je najsvetlejši ter ima rumen podton, kar je meni super. Tako se ujema z Revlon Colorstay (150 Buff). Pri primerjavi z mojo MAC tekočo podlago, ki ima manjšo številko (13), pa je korektor vseeno svetlejši

Cena: nekje 22€ (v Evropi) za 9 ml

Korektor mi je res všeč, ker je prekrivnost odlična in tudi cena ni slaba za 9ml, saj potrebujete majhno količino ter vam ostane res za dolgo časa.

And now the product which I had for almost two years. It comes in a nicely made sleek glass bottle with a very handy pump on the top. However I have some trouble with the pump. It doesn't allow you to dose out as much product as you want, but instead it leaves you with big amount of concealer which most of the time I don't know where to put on my face, since I usually use different concealers on different areas. So basically I have to use it for under-eye area, around my nose and on any imperfections. Texture is a bit thick. It gives you full coverage, however sometimes it can look a bit cakey if it's not blended properly. And because of great pigmentation, you only need a small amount. Longevity is great, as it stays literally all day on the skin.

Shade NC15 is the lightest and yellow toned. It totally matches my Revlon Colorstay (150 Buff). Even though it's the number 15, which should be darker than foundation, is actually lighter.

You also get quite a nice amount of product: 9 ml, so it's totally worth the money.

Price: around 22€ (in Europe...cheaper in USA)

All in all, I really like this concealer as it is so high-coverage. Sadly I broke it just after doing this review (karma eh?), however I'm for sure buying it again.
