Finished Products of March


BB Cream Oil Free by Garnier (7,99€): It's a classic in my stash already. I've probably used more than four tubes already and I always buy a new one. It works great with my skin, but only this version (the one for oily and combination skin types), the classic one just doesn't settle on my skin and moves all around. It has medium coverage so if you're looking for a light tough of color this one is definitely not for you. I use it instead of foundation since it's way cheaper and makes my skin look great without effort. I apply it with the stippling brush from Real Techniques and blends really well with my skin so probably for darker skintones this color is a bit too fair. I totally recommend this product, just find the version that works best for your skin type and I'm sure you'll love it as much as I do. Of course when I run out of the next tube I'll buy another one!

Skin Natural BB Eyes Roll On by Garnier (5,95€): It has been my go to concealer on an everyday basis whenever I was in a rush but it was really old (it probably has 2+ years! I know I should be ashamed!) and I thought that it was time to change it for the new version. It's a product that lasts for ages, seriously! I was amazed of how much product fitted into such a small bottle like this one. I applied it over my dark circles and around the nose area (where I have some redness) and it blended seamlessly with my skin. I've bought the new version and the color is darker and doesn't match my skin as well as this one so probably I won't be able to use it alone for a quick touch up. I'll make a review soon with a comparison between the old and the new version so you'll ble able to see the differences but for now I'll just say that I wish they have kept the old version...

Smoky Lash Mascara by Make Up Forever (23$): I bought this mascara after getting tored of using the Diorshow one. It's a lovely product that elongates and curves the lashes, it doesn't leave your lashes crunchy and it doesn't flake (at least on me). Overall I would say it's a great mascara but I'm still trying to find THE ONE. I won't be buying it again at least for now since it is pretty expensive and I have another ones to finish, but in the future I'll probably end up buying another tube since I was happy of how my lashes looked with it.

Rice Scrub by Rituals (10€): I got this as a sample with Glamour magazine and I fell in love with it! It has a nice, fresh scent, not too sweet so I feel it's a great product to take it with you and use it while you shower. It has small microcapsules that gently exfoliate your skin without being too harsh. That makes it the perfect body exfoliant to use more than once a week, it's even appropriate for sensitive skins! I'll probably buy the full size bottle the next time I visit one of their shops.

Step 1 Skin Equalizer: Smoothing Primer nº2 by Make Up Forever - Review // Reseña


I love when I got a mail from Sephora and I find inside a small sample! If I'm having a bad day it changes it a bit! I know, I know, It's really easy to make me happy :)
 
Today arrived to my email the new base by Make Up Forever. They have released eight different (at least in Spain), which I'll talk about later. But first I will talk about the one I got that's called Smoothing Primer nº2. It's supposed to minimize the look of pores, wrinkles and fine lines. It also helps to keep the makeup flawless all day long. The full size costs around 36$ so before buying the it, is great to be able to try them on, since there are so many different formulations.
 








Does it work? As you can see on the pictures it diminishes a bit the aspect of the pores. I've added a point of reference so it helps you to spot the difference. It makes easier to apply the makeup and it made it last all night long. Still I'm not sure if I would pay the 36$ since I didn't quite feel a lot of improvement on my skin. Even it has some color it goes completely invisible on the skin and leaves it with a silicone feeling. I don't have really big pores so maybe that's why I don't see a big difference. Maybe on other skins it works better but right now I don't think I'll buy the full size product, first I want to try other bases and compare them.
