This month I seem to have finished up the core components of my face skincare products all at the same time – so odd how that happens.

The sense of accomplishment in finishing up products never gets old!

The Body Shop Vitamin E moisture Serum – $23 for 30ml (Body shop in store & online)
This lightweight serum includes glycerin, honey, and rice bran oil. I found it a bit watery and didn’t offer a long lasting hydration – my face felt less plump compared to other serums I’ve used. I reserved this for summer months during the day time due to this reason – this might be a good serum for oilier skin types. I do like that this package is in a vacuum pump but it’s visible through the bottle so you can see how much product is left.
Stash worthiness: 6/10     Repurchase: No

Physician’s formula Anti Aging Laser Resurfacing Serum with 2.4 AHA – $21.95 for 30ml (drugstores & online)
This is a gentle chemical exfoliant that uses lactic acid, and can be used nightly under night cream.  I apply this lightweight gel lotion to cleansed face underneath my regular nighttime moisturizer – it makes my skin soft and glowy.  There’s also vitamin C and peptides in the concoction – it has quite a distinct fragrance but it isn’t offensive (I can’t place the smell but my first thought was Play-Doh).  I purchased this on clearance at 50% off – I don’t think this product is being discontinued but I think my local Rexall was just making space for other products.  So I grabbed 2.  I started this bottle in February and used it about 3 times a week.
Stash worthiness: 9/10     Repurchase: Yes

Shiseido Ibuki Refining moisturizer – $52 for 75ml (department stores & online)
I discussed this item in my Shiseido skincare post and out of love / like / Loath categories, it was noted in “Like” – this is a terrific lightweight daytime moisturizer that I especially like for the summer months. The main issue I take with this is the fragrance – Shiseido really needs to dial that down on many of their products.  I noted on the bottle that I cracked this open in April so it lasted me a solid 6 months, not bad really when I calculate out a per month cost of $8.67. I spend much more on food on a daily basis!
Stash worthiness: 8/10     Repurchase: Yes

Lise Watier HydraSmart Gel-Crème Hydration 3D – $18 for 30ml (Shoppers drug Mart & online)
Another tube bites the dust! I like this pill-y gel cream less and less as I struggled to use this 2nd tube up… but guess what? I discovered another unopened tube in my stash!  I promise someone is playing a cruel joke on me.
Stash worthiness: 6/10     Repurchase: No

Reversa Cleansing Micellar service – $23 for 300ml (drugstores & online)
I picked this up purely out of curiosity – it was on sale and a Canadian brand – and was so amazed with it! It’s bumped Bioderma off the 3rd spot for my preferred micellar waters (#1 Yves Rocher, #2 Claudalie, #3 Reversa). I use this after oil cleansing to remove all traces of makeup (especially from the neck and hairline area that might be much more challenging to rinse off), and it is effective yet gentle. It also leaves my skin SO soft. It includes lotus root water which is expected to be soothing.  I’ll be reusing this pump bottle for my other micellar waters.
Stash worthiness: 9/10     Repurchase: Yes

Yves Rocher second Skin effect foundation in beige 200 – $25 for 30ml
This is an simple and easy lightweight foundation that blends perfectly onto my skin using just fingers. I love this foundation. and you know what that means, right? Yup, they discontinue it. Ugh. Last year I stocked up on a few backup bottles from the clearance table but only managed to snag one bottle in my appropriate shade – I got a couple in the next shade up for mixing. YR does have a new lightweight foundation to replace this – I have yet to try it (I received a sample) but the packaging is much bulkier (I love how compact and portable this bottle is!)… and I’m not so sure about that “luminous” business.
Stash worthiness: 10/10     Repurchase: No (discontinued)

Neutrogena Ultra sheer dry Touch sunscreen SPF 110 – $16 for 88ml (drugstores & online)
This is a wonderful body sunscreen – I didn’t even know that they’re allowed to claim SPF that high! It applies nicely – not too greasy or too much of a white cast. This is strictly for body usage though, it’s much too heavy for the face. We took this on holiday with us (hence the battered looking bottle) and it worked amazingly during our hikes – no burns at all.
Stash worthiness: 9/10     Repurchase: Yes

Shiseido sun protection Eye cream SPF 32 – $38 for 15ml (department stores & online)
I finally used up this tube – toward the end I cheated a little and applied this not only as an eye cream but all over my face. The 2nd tube shown isn’t empty but is being tossed away because it has expired because Oct 2014 so I don’t want to risk it. This is a good, non-greasy eye cream that contains SPF in the form of zinc oxide (9.3%)and octinoxate (4.9%). It’s firstly challenging to find eye cream with SPF at all, and even much more challenging to find one with mineral sunscreen (although it’s not a pure mineral as octinoxate is a chemical sunscreen). this one layered well under makeup but I’m undecided if I will repurchase this because I think I can just use my normal mineral face sunscreen under my eye area going forward.
Stash worthiness: 8/10     Repurchase: Maybe

CoverGirl LashBlast volume – $10 (drugstores)
Not much to say about my HG mascara. I consider it HG worthy when people compliment me on what I perceive to be one of my weakest features! It’s volumizing, lengthening, doesn’t flake, doesn’t smudge, easy to apply and to remove, but water resistant. just magical!
Stash worthiness: 10/10     Repurchase: Yes

Lise Watier Mascara Wow – $24 (Shoppers drug Mart & online)
I received this full size mascara as a gwp so I’m not so bummed that it didn’t work out for me. It applies beautifully but man, it is SO smudgy! I even put a mascara top coat on it and it somehow manages to break through that and cause me raccoon eyes. Also, the wand is SO bendy, similar to that L’Oreal miss Manga mascara – too floppy to apply onto the lashes with making a mess on my lids.
Stash worthiness: 5/10     Repurchase: No

Bath & Body works Waikiki beach Coconut shower Gel – $12.50 for 295ml
Bought this during the $3 for $15 sale. I don’t typically purchase shower gels from BBW but I couldn’t resist my preferred scent of the summer! When I use this in conjunction with the aloe gel lotion, then then layer on the body mist, the smell lasts so long – I love it!
Stash worthiness: 9/10     Repurchase: No (discontinued – I have one much more in my stash)

Yves Rocher tradition de Hammam Oriental Soap with Argan and Olive Oil (not shown because it’s all used up!) – $17 for a 5.3 oz. / 150 g bar (Yves Rocher online & online)
I did a review of this. While this was a terrific moisturizing soap, it had some negatives: the size of the bar was mammoth – it was really challenging to hold in my hands to lather up (I can’t tell you how numerous times I dropped this in the shower!) Also, the brown dye they put into this soap was so unnecessary – it left brown coloured soap scum on my shower curtain liner and shower tiles (I’m bumping my rating down from my original review for this reason). I’m also disappointed that the scent wasn’t the same as the corresponding shower oil, which was the main reason why I purchased this to begin with.  This bar did last me a long time though – so good value for money.
Stash worthiness: 7/10     Repurchase: No

Prøver:

Lise Watier intense moisture Ultra Firming Day Care – $65 for 50ml (Shoppers drug Mart & online) – I didn’t find this to offer “intense moisture”, just average. I actually used this as a daytime eye cream while on vacation.

Clarins Multi-Active night youth recovery Cream – $62 for 50ml (department stores & online) – I’ve been curious about this cream for ages and it was such a let-down! It’s a run of the mill face cream with an old lady scent – I’d never pay full price for this.  Glad I got to try a sample first!

Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 balancing softener Enriched – $55 for 150ml (department stores & online) – this is the fanciest toner I’ve ever used. and this gwp is in a legit glass bottle! I wouldn’t ever purchase the full size of this – overpriced and too fragranced.

And of course, this month I purged a whole bunch of my makeup!  Here’s a reward photo that my pal took of the makeup re-homing event:

There was red wine and sushi, and a sweetheart in awe of how much makeup was present (not my boyfriend, he knows all too well).

How was September for you in terms of using up items?

Trash Stash: may & June 2016Happy July 4th to my American friends! hope you’re enjoying the extra day off. We Canadians just came out of a long weekend and are cursing you men best now… 😆 because I missed May’s trash Stash, this is a combined empties post for both months. Hold onto your hats!…

Papirkurvstash: juni 2015The slutningen af ​​juni markerer det officielle midten af ​​året! I’ve always wondered why it’s “Christmas in July” when it really makes much more sense to be in June! 💡 It was especially satisfying to finish some of these productsDenne måned fordi mange af dem jeg havde brugt i lang tid …
2. juli 2015in “skønhed”

Vi har oplevet en af ​​de mest populære somre på rekord lige her i Toronto! Sommer hud til mig betyder: beskyttelse, hydrering såvel som olie kontrol. Lige her er de produkter, jeg har brugt til at hjælpe min hud kamp på sommeren:

Jeg vil gøre små evalueringer på hver af disse, fordi nogle få af dem er relativt nylige overtagelser.

Illamasqua Matte Veil – C $ 55.95
Den oprindelige Hydra Veil er mine foretrukne primere til vintersæsonmånederne, så jeg valgte at give den matte version et forsøg. Denne primer hjælper ikke kun med at glatte min hud samt holde det mat, det lyder på en eller anden måde ikke at suge livet ud af min hud. Jeg kan godt lide den beskyttede emballage med det indre låg – det gjorde, når jeg har en smule ske scoop, men jeg har fordi jeg er fordi fejlplaceret det. Det ser også ud såvel som lugter som jordbær yoghurt!

Clarins UV Plus HP SPF 40 Dag Skærm Tint – C $ 42
Jeg er permanent på en gennemgang for en mineral solcreme, der ikke er overdrevent fedtet eller producerer en spøgelsesvejsstøbning. såvel som jeg tror jeg har opdaget det! Før dette brugte jeg La Roche-Posay anthelios mineral tonede ultra-fluid lotion SPF 50, såvel som selvom jeg først kunne lide det, var det metode samt orange til min hudfarve, såvel som det var bold op på min hud. Klarinerne en bruger virkelig godt, og det er ikke for orange (ok det er en smule orange, men brugbar – se hudbypladsen nedenfor). Det tilføjer lidt meget mere olie til huden, så når jeg bærer dette under mit typiske fundament, bemærker jeg, at jeg får skinnere tidligere. Som bringer mig til næste emne …

Avon Makeup Indstilling Spray – C $ 12
Disse ting er utroligt! Jeg forventede ikke meget af dette, men det hjælper virkelig med at sætte min makeup samt holde udstråling på min hud i bugt. Jeg har prøvet Metropolitan Decay alle nighter spray, men jeg opdager det ikke så godt effektivt. For mig overstiger denne ene UD! Sprøjtedysen på denne flaske er heller ikke god – en fin jævn tåge, der dækker hele deal med et par passerer. De eneste problemer, jeg har, er: 1) Det er fuld af alkohol (3. ingrediens), så jeg vil ikke udnytte dette dagligt. Og 2) flasken er lille, kun 60 ml. Men aldrig betale fuld pris for Avon, jeg har min for kun $ 6.

Mary Kay Charm blotters olieabsorberende lagner – C $ 8,50
Disse er en af ​​mine foretrukne blottingspapirer – de er lavet af linned / papir samt ekstremt effektivt i ridding udstråle på aftalen uden at tilføje enhver form for produkt (jeg er ikke lige så glad for dem med talkum på papir). Samt de er gode store størrelse ark (10 x 7,6cm), så jeg kun kræver et ark pr. Blot. Jeg buste generelt en af ​​disse ud efter frokost (1-2pm-ish) til blot, før jeg pulver mit ansigt. Sammenlignet med andre på markedet, er de heller ikke så godt dyrt. Jeg vælger linned / papirtype blotting papirer over plastik / film type – mine andre foretrukne blotting papirer er fra Shiseido såvel som Boscia.

L.A. Farver presset pulver i beige – C $ 2
Jeg købte dette for $ 20 makeup vanskeligheder såvel som farve mig imponeret! Dette pulver giver god beskyttelse, men hvad jeg kunne lide mange om dette er udstrålingskontrollen. Det er noget pulveriseret, men så længe jeg bruger en let hånd med en fluffy ren til at påføre et tyndt lag, er det fint. Emballagen er ikke den mest holdbare – låget er tilbøjelig til at komme unhinged – men jeg er glad for, at L.A. farver selv generede at tilbyde et spejl inde i låget!

L til r: farveprøver af Illamasqua matte sløret, Clarins UV Plus Day Screen Tint, samt L.A. Colors presset pulver

Clinique Wetness Surge Deal med Spray Thirsty Skin Relief – C $ 29
Selvom sommeren handler om oliekontrol, slutter huden ligeledes farer at blive dehydreret på grund af både varme (udendørs) samt aircondition (indendørs) – det er derfor, jeg kan lide at hydrere ansigtsmiger til sommeren. Jeg valgte dette op i begyndelsen af ​​året på grund af al hype omkring det. Jeg har kun brugt det i et par uger, så godt som jeg er ubeslutsomt, hvis det er fantastisk eller bare godt. Jeg kan godt lide at det omfatter glycerin, der synes at fungere som en hydratiserende base samt en makeup setter. Jeg bruger dette som både et pre-serum-skridt, såvel som at opfriske min makeup. For nu har jeg stadig Sukin Hydrating Mist Toner som min foretrukne ansigts tåge. Jeg vil skrive et meget bedre synspunkt, når jeg har brugt det længere – det er bestemt et godt produkt i det meget mindst!

Jack Black Wetnessapi Lip Balm i Grapefrugt SPF 25 – C $ 10.50
Læber er en af ​​de kropsdele, der bliver forsømt med hensyn til solsikkerhed (en anden er bagsiden af ​​hænderne!) Jeg har søgt høj såvel som lav for læbe produkter med høj SPF, der ikke forlader læberne med en Hvid chalky finish, samt hidtil har Jack Black været den allerbedste mulighed. It’s not my preferred in terms of surface though – to me, the balm just sits on top of my lips as well as feels uncomfortable. It includes lanolin which I may be sensitive to. But I’m prepared to tOlat det i køb for at tilbyde solsikkerhed for mine læber. Dette omfatter også kemiske solcreme (octinoxate 7,5%, Avobenzone 3,0%), jeg har ikke stødt på nogen form for lip solsikkerhed med bare mineral / fysiske solcreme – hvis du er kommet på tværs af nogen, vil jeg gerne vide!

Dette er mine sommerhøjdehøjdefinansieringer – hvad er din?

7. august 2015in “Skønhed”

most people have maybe 1 or 2 foundations (perhaps a winter shade and one for summer), a couple of concealers (under eye dark circles vs covering blemishes), and a face powder.  That’s normal.  Why I have amassed this many foundations / powders / concealers (or as I call them, base products), I have no reason for.  I couldn’t even fit everything I own into one frame so here’s a portion of what I’ll be showing today:

I figure I would just lump all my base products including highlighters and bronzers into one post instead of them separating out.

Remember, this is a no judgement zone.

Foundations / BB creams: I honestly don’t like having so many liquid / cream foundations open all at once.  A bunch of these are already slated for The Purge.

Some notes:
• My colouring: MAC NC25, MUFE 20, Shiseido i20, CoverGirl nude Beige, Guerlain beige Clair, Illamasqua 6.5, Maybelline Buff, Revlon nude – of course, my colour can change within the same brand depending on the formulation (MAC is the worst for this, I find)
• My skin type is combination sensitive with slightly oily t-zone and dehydrated cheeks
• I also have a bunch of mineral powder foundations but I didn’t bother carrying them out – so messy!
• I dislike paying more than $50 for a foundation, hence I don’t own the more popular ones like Marc Jacobs ($69 are you kidding me!) – I will have to suck it up when I buy the Nars luminous one next year though ($59) because I’ve heard so many terrific things about it

Powders:

• The Anna Sui loose powders are really just for show – I don’t really intend to use them; just look at that packaging! (I’ve also misplaced a compact foundation with a cute strawberry design, it’s somewhere – doh)

Concealers: I just noticed that I’m missing my Clarins concealers in these photos – oops. #toomuchmakeup

Highlighters / bronzers:

My favourites:
• Foundation: Shiseido sheer & Perfect
• Powder: Cargo Blu_Ray
• Concealers: Maybelline Age Rewind (under eye), Revlon PhotoReady (redness)
• Highlighter: Guerlain Météorites in Teint Beige
• Bronzer: Lancaster infinite Bronze Kaleidoscope

Unopened / Back Ups:

• Not really sure why I’ve selected not to open the loose powders from e.l.f. or Nars since they don’t go bad once opened, but I guess I was trying to be diligent in finishing up my Laura Mercier and MAC ones first

In summary, I own (opened and unopened):
• 40 foundations / BB creams
• 31 Powders
• 32 Concealers
• 11 Highlighters
• 13 Bronzers

This concludes my “stash” series for now. I have a few more smaller classifications like eyeliners and mascaras but they’re less interesting to post.

What are your favourite base products? any questions about any of the products shown, please leave them in a comment below!

To farver blev afsløret i år!

Rose Quartz (Pantone 13-1520) og Serenity (Pantone 15-3919)

Interessant nok er dette det allerførste år Pantone har valgt 2 farver, såvel som begge farver tilbyder et hold af muligheder i kosmetikverdenen. Jeg kan forestille mig en smuk rødme kombination med forskellige øgede kvarts-ish nuancer, såvel som sindsro ville gøre dejlige øjne såvel som negleprodukter. I en af ​​mine TBT-indlæg gættede jeg, at Pantone kan vælge enten en gul eller en blå. Jeg fik 50% rigtigt!

Hej, håruniform.
Godmorgen ven! Præcis hvordan har du det i dag? Jeg er virkelig lidt mindre frazzled, end jeg var i går siden for denne herlige ting, jeg snuble på at kalde “en makeup uniform” (vi talte om det den anden dag).

Hvilket fører mig til at …

REKLAME

Et håruniform

I den stilling tror jeg, at jeg ikke kunne huske at nævne, at sammen med Makeup Uniform har jeg også lavet en håruniform. For at gå med de stærke læber såvel som winged liner i denne uge, har jeg lavet en simpel lav hestehale med en glat side swoop. Jeg tror, ​​at hårets struktur fungerer godt sammen med makeup, såvel som – bonus! – Jeg kan piske den ud på mindre end fem minutter.

Swoop!

En utrolig ren base combo

I kommentarerne spurgte Angie for nylig for nylig, hvad Foundation jeg har brugt i det seneste med Makeup Uniform. Side note – Hey, Angie! Jeg har brugt Cerave’s mineral tonede fugtighedscreme omkring min aftale med lidt Estée Lauder 24h Concealer under mine øjne såvel som omkring min mund. Jeg sætter begge med Mac mineralize skinfinish pulver i medium gylden.

Jeg har lyst til, at min hud ser lige tonet såvel som poleret med denne specifikke blanding af produkter, men jeg har ikke lyst til at bruge tung base makeup.

ILIA DREAMS.

Jeg forsøger at overflade op ad flasken Cerave, så jeg kan endelig købe ILIA-huden farvetone. Når det sker (og det vil ske!), Planlægger jeg også at få endnu en ilia øjenfarve. Jeg tror på Dim, den grålige lavendel eller mossy miljøvenlig luge. Eller begge!

En sidste ting! – Bare i situation har du ikke taget mac candy yum yum lipstick ud for et spin sidst (det er den varme pink jeg bruger i disse billeder), det er din venlige påmindelse om, at hun har brug for lidt kærlighed.

S.s. Til dine ører i dag:

Det kan ikke virke som det i det seneste, men jeg er ikke rigtig en øjenskyggepalette slags pige. Og bestemt har jeg aldrig graviteret mod Drugstore Eye Shadow Paletter. Men hvad fik mig fascineret med Covergirl trunaked palette var de generelle rave anmeldelser online, og også se fantastiske live farveprøver fra Allura Beauty. Der er 3 versioner tilgængelige, og jeg endte med Rosers Palette:

Denne palette koster $ 14,99 ofte, men jeg indløste optimale point for min.

Der er 8 farver i paletten, med en kombineret vægt på 6,5 g (ca. 0,81 g hver) – det måler 11.5cm x 7cm x 1cm. Hvad angår paletlayoutet, er det ikke min favoritkonfiguration med de tynde strimler, men disse er brede nok til, at en MAC 239 børste nemt kan passe ind i hvert panel. Og for en drugstorpalette er sagen ikke forfærdeligt, men plastik føles lidt på den spinkende side. Dækket minder mig om kvaliteten af ​​et cd-case-dæksel – bare en lille smule pres ville sandsynligvis knække det.

Det faktum, at Covergirl selv gik et skridt videre og generet for at give navne til hver af de nuancer, er ess i mine bøger! Du ved alle, hvad der sker, når en palette forlader nuanserne, navngivne! (Jeg vil navngive dem for dig!)

Venstre til højre:
• mandel (pink tinged elfenben – matte)
• Champagne (Light Pink – Shimmer)
• BABY (LIGHT PINKY MAUVE – MATTE)
• Rose Gold (Warm Pink – Shimmer)
• Kobber rose (støvet mauve – matte)
• skumring (rosy taupe – frost)
• Mauvergine (Plummy Brown – Frost)
• Mousse (Deep Plum – Satin)

Og fik du det? Denne palette er lavet i Canada! Ved du, hvad andre mærker producerer deres produkter i Canada? Mac, nars, bobbi brun – for at nævne nogle få. Jeg var ganske gulvet for at se, at denne palette er lavet i Canada, og ikke i Kina som mange apoteker er i dag. Så så er det ikke overraskende, at jeg har fundet formlen til at være ganske imponerende:

(Jeg formoder, at kobber rose og skumring er mislabeled. Jeg tror, ​​at skumringen skal være den matte mauve og kobber rose er Shimmery Taupe – men det er ordren som pr. Mærket på bagsiden af ​​paletten.)

Standet ud nuancer for mig er baby, rose guld, skumring og mauvergine. Faktisk elsker jeg alle farverne i denne palette, men disse 4 er bare lidt mere specielle. Ærligt, jeg ville ikke ændre en enkelt skygge i denne palette! Det er en vidunderlig stand alene palette – jeg har min højdepunkt, crease og overgang nuancer alle indeholdt i denne palette. Hvis jeg skulle være super kræsen, kunne jeg have foreslået en mat crease skygge, men mousse er ikke så shimmery, så jeg vil lade det passere.

Min foretrukne måde at bære denne palette på er mauvergin i crease med rose guld på låget, baby som overgang / blanding farve og mandel til pandebenet. Kvaliteten af ​​både matt og frost er fremragende – pigmenteret og blendable – jeg finder shimmers til at være lidt løs og mere tilbøjelige til at falde ud. Brugstidspunktet for disse skygger er gode: ca. 8 timer før jeg ser nogen fading og let krølning.

Det indeholder en lame svamp tippet applikator, men til denne pris forventede jeg ikke noget bedre. I det mindste covergirl generet til 1) give noget overhovedet 2) har dual endted design indeholdende en flad paddle form i den ene ende med en spids spids på den anden.

Fordele:
• Pigmenteret, glat, blendbar formel
• Konsekvent god formel for alle finish
• Fantastisk værdi.
• Lang iført formel
• Kan skabe komplet øjeudseende
• Lavet i Canada

Ulemper:
• Emballage lidt spinkelt og intet spejl
• Shimmers har nogle falde ud

Stash Worthiness: 9/10

Kør, gå ikke til din nærmeste butik og vælg denne palette op! Roser Palette var mit første valg af de 3 farvemuligheder, der tilbydes, da den indeholdt farver, jeg ikke ejer en masse i min samling. Men baseret på den fantastiske kvalitet og værdi, vil jeg sandsynligvis hente de andre 2 farver (gyldne og nøgne). Har du prøvet Covergirl-trunaked Paletter?

Ps. For dem i Storbritannien og har ingen adgang til Covergirl, er Max Factor Masterpiece Nude Paletter nøjagtig det samme!

state you’ve just decluttered a whole lot of your makeup, as well as you’re planning on providing them away.  Or conversely, you took part in a swap, as well as you got carefully utilized makeup – exactly how do you sanitize makeup?

I’ve took part in MUA swaps method back in the day, as well as have provided away lots  of my makeup to friends. I generally keep my makeup in extremely clean condition, however it is still prudent to sanitize whatever before you provide them away. right here are some products you will need:

• 99% scrubing alcohol – higher alcohol material is preferable as it will have less water or filler; it will evaporate quicker as well as not change the makeup
• clean spray bottle
• retractable knife – I retain a retractable knife solely to utilize for makeup: to depot or eliminate pans from magnetic palettes, as well as for sanitizing (I clean the blade with 99% alcohol)
• non-linting tissue, paper towel, cotton pads
• blyantspidser
• clean cleanser
• neglelakfjerner

Læbestifter.

• dip tube into 99% alcohol
• wipe tube with non-lint tissue or paper towel
• utilize sharp knife to cut about 2mm off the tip (refrigerating the tube overnight very first will assist to solidify the lipstick)

Powders

• wipe surface layer of product with non-lint tissue or paper towel
• lightly spray surface with 99% scrubing alcohol (this will not damage the product)

Pencils

• sharpen off the ends, about 5 turns in a sharpener should get rid of any type of of the exposed tip
• to be additional sure, break off the existing tip as well as then sharpen the pencil back to a point

Brushes

• deep clean utilizing whichever clean cleaner you prefer
• after the brushes are dried, spray 99% scrubing alcohol over the bristles

Nail polishes

• generally nail polishes stay rather sanitary because of its acetone content, however I like to wipe the clean in addition to the neck of the bottles clean of any type of hardened nail polish residue with nail polish remover

No-no items: these are products I will never provide away or switch for utilized since it’s impossible to sanitize them:
• Lip glosses with wands – I’m still wary about the capture type tubes however they’re more sanitary
• Concealer with wands (basically anything with doe-foot sponge tipped wands!)
• Mascaras
• liquid liners

I believe that even if you’re not providing away your makeup, it’s great method to sanitize your own makeup from time to time.  For instance, I like to clean the mouth of my nail polish bottles – this likewise enables the cap to type a tighter seal so the nail polish doesn’t dry out as fast.

Hvad med dig? Do you provide carefully utilized makeup away, or take part in swaps? How do you sanitize your makeup?

For the road trip, I brought along 2 of the products from this 3-pc kit, which I got for $5 as a purchase with purchase last year when I gotten some skincare at The deal with Shop.

The set includes:

• THE therapy necessary formula emulsion – $40 for 130ml (Deluxe sample is 32ml, worth $9.85)
• THE therapy Secret-Made Anti-Aging cream – $45 for 50ml (Deluxe sample is 10ml, worth $9.00)
• THE therapy necessary tonic treatment – $35 for 150ml (Deluxe sample is 32ml, worth $7.47)

The overall value of the set is $26.31, which is absolutely worth the $5 I paid for it.

The packaging explains The therapy variety as “an anti-aging cosmetic line that embodies a two century-old European natural blending technique from Marche, Italy.” There isn’t a whole great deal of technical info about this line offered – I was able to discover a press release dated Dec 2014 which supplies vague info about processing techniques, blending theories as well as botanical components (marigold, olives as well as bay blad). From their Facebook page, it listings the complying with benefits [brackets are my added comments]:

• supplies radiant as well as supple skin with a natural oil as well as wetness layer
• Marche hand-crafted anti aging blending formula
• formulated without 10 additives [no surfactants, silicone, paraben, acrylamide, mineral oil, man-made coloring, animal-sourced ingredients, benzophenone, triethanolamine, sulfate]
• primary active component adenosine [apparently adenosine is a great anti-inflammatory ingredient]

I’ll evaluation these in the buy in which I would usually utilize each product:

Essential tonic treatment
I utilized this as my publish cleansing, pre-moisturizing toner. It has a thicker liquid consistency, similar to that of the Body shop Vitamin E toner. While it did leave my skin soft as well as supple feeling, it’s good, however not amazing. There’s a faint floral fragrance – I’m guessing the marigold?

Essential formula Emulsion
This is a puzzling product. The structure is type of like gooey gel lotion, but not in a bad way. I utilized this product in two different ways: one method was to apply a thin layer pre-nighttime moisturizer, like a serum, as well as the other method was to utilize it as my daytime moisturizer.

I favored it as a daytime moisturizer – it supplied the good amount of hydration however can leave the skin a bit shiny.  The 5th as well as 6th component in this are palm as well as canola oil – I don’t recall ever seeing those in skincare before however obviously they’re great for the skin as well as options to mineral oil.

Secret-Made Anti-Aging Cream
This cream has a whipped butter high quality to it – a bit bit of this goes a long way. I made the error of apply as well much the very first few times I utilized it as well as my deal with was incredibly greasy looking.  This is finest utilized as a nighttime moisturizer as it is a bit rich for daytime.  The scent of this was extremely calming as well as faint.  In the morning I get up with soft, supple skin.

Overall, I’m pleasantly shocked by this variety from The deal with Shop!  I would state this line is a lot more geared toward typical to dry skin.  Out of the 3 products from this kit, I would absolutely think about getting the full size of the cream as well as perhaps the emulsion. They are absolutely contenders to ultimately replace a few of the Shiseido products I currently use.  The therapy collection likewise includes an product that wasn’t part of this kit: Oil-Drop Anti-Aging Serum ($45 for 45ml) – which I’m extremely interested by!

Ingredient listing – click to enlarge.  All 3 are made in Korea.
Fordele:
• absence of additives
• not heavily fragranced
• skin calming as well as hydrating components (glycerin, glycol, adenosine, olive oil, honey, oat)

Ulemper:
• may not be easily offered in North America
• a bit a lot more costly than drugstore prices

Stash worthiness: 8/10
