Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer / oily eyelids primer

Image
It almost has no scent. The consistency isn't too thick or too thin. It's not sticky or greasy. It applies very well on top of makeup as well as on bear skin (eyelid). This shadow is quite pigmented on it's own and maybe I had to do more of a swatches but I felt a bit lazy. Sorry. Maybe I will post more pictures later. I can say that this primer does it's job! It keeps my eye shadow and a liner in place all day long. One thing is to notice is that you have to wait till it dries or settles before layering with another product. The eye shadows turns to be more pigmented when I use this primer and you need very little amount of it. I think this product would be great for oily eyelids as well.

I think this was one of those compulsive purchases that happens to all of us from time to time. In theory it sounds like a great products but in practice it's 50/50. The swatches look great on the back of my hand but I find it a bit complicated to apply and not as pigmented. Several times I pulled the cup off instead of unscrewing it but you can fix it easily and insert the part that went out. I will keep using it and see how it goes but I don't think this product is as practical as it appears to be.

The list of ingredients is great! The scent is very natural I like it a lot. The consistency is thick and creamy with some abrasive particles (that I could live without). It smells like organic rose water. I use it whenever I feel that I need an extra hydration during my usual skin care routine. I think it's suitable fore sensitive skin (but not extremely sensitive) even though it contains glycolic acid. I use it after I wash my face with soap or foam and it gives my skin the moister it needs.

Etude House CC Cream (Correct&Care) SPF30/PA++ #1 Silky Type Natural Coverage

It contains 35 g. I had some samples of this product and I really like it. So I decided to buy a full size. I really like it. The scent isn't too strong so it doesn't bother me. I think this products is suitable for everyday wear. It has SPF 30 which is great! The texture is lightweight and one or two pumps are enough to cover all my face and neck. It's important not to apply too much. It blends easily into my skin and gives me enough coverage (light to medium coverage). It evens my skin tone and covers well the redness and so on. I would say it is quite friendly to a flakiness on my skin that appears from time to time (Retin A treatment). It is also suitable for a sensitive skin.  I use it when I need some quick and light coverage. It can be applied with your fingers fast and easy as if you would apply a lotion (although I try not to get it into my eyebrows). It does make my skin tone slightly lighter but nothing too extreme. It has something to do with oil c...

lavera all - round cream/ sensitive skin

It looks like a body butter but it's not as heavy as a normal body butter. Since it's all round cream (which means you can use it all over your body) I use it mostly on my face. It's organic and all natural so it can be used on a face. It hydrates very well and is suitable for sensitive skin. I have an oily skin but I still need moisture and hydration. It has a very nice and natural scent. I apply it any time after I wash my face. It doesn't leave my skin sticky or oily or slippery. It gets absorbed by giving you a matte finish. Why do I like it? I like it because I can use it on my face after a Retin A treatment and it won't burn or sting and so on. I could use organic coconut oil and I did use to use it but then I found this one and I like it. 

A'PIEU Sweet Tea Lip Balm #3 Red Apple Tea

Capacity : 6 g. It's a tinted lip balm type (it doesn't stain). The scent is very nice but not natural (obviously). It's not sticky it feels like a decent lip balm in red with a cool undertone. It blends well with my natural lip colour. I think it is suitable for every day use as for an occasion. I can make it look less visible by applying less product but I can also make it more stand out on my lips by applying more (obviously). It doesn't look like a heavy lipstick it gives more of a natural look. I've ended up buying another one!
