AVSLØRINGS VARSEL!

Jeg krever et spill av troner øyeblikk før jeg kommer inn i disse nye hudpleieprodukter fra Pixi (var ikke søndagens episode rettferdig episk?!), Så her er det en ropende ut til en av mine foretrukne fiktive familier, hjemme Tyrell, så vel som Deres sterke kvinner, spesielt Olenny Tyrell, som var en freakin “, til slutten.

Bestemors mål: å gå ut så hardt
Tegnet på hjemmet Tyrell var en rose, så vel som disse to nye produktene fra Pixi er også roser. De er begge $ 24 hver, så vel som tilbys nå. Det er økt kaviar essens – et fuktighetsgivende, lysende serum med økt olje – samt økt flashbalsam – en flerbruksfuktighetskrem med økt ekstrakt som også fungerer som en primer, så vel som å håndtere maske.

ANNONSE

Begge er lett duftende som en enkelt stammet rose. Ah …

Pixi økte flashbalsam

Flash Balm er Pixis versjon av en kult tradisjonell fra Clarins kalt Flash Beauty Balm, et produkt som jeg aldri ganske forstått. Jeg har hørt makeup-artister, sier at det fordeler seg for å lykkes på huden, hvilken Pixi økte Flash Balm er også ment å gjøre, men eh, jeg ser ikke virkelig perkiness.

Jeg gjør imidlertid som nøyaktig hvor fuktighet det gjør huden min, så vel som at den ikke forlater en fet film bak. Jeg tror også at porene mine ser litt mindre intense når jeg bruker det.

Pixi økt kaviar essens

Den økte kaviarens essens er imidlertid så kult! Se nøyaktig hvordan produktet ser ut som det har disse små flekkene? De er blomst, så vel som planteoljer suspendert i en vektløs gel.

Vann / aqua / eau, glyserin, macadamia ternifolia frøolje, sitrus aurantium bergamia (bergamot) peel olje, cananga odorata blomst olje, cymbopogon martini olje, pelargonium graveolens olje, tokopherylacetat, helianthus annurus (solsikke) frøolje, simmondsia chinenese (jojoba ) Frøolje, Vitis Vinifera (Drue) Frøolje, Olea Europaea , Tokopherol, adenosin, illicium verum (anis) fruktekstrakt, karbomer, kaprylylglykol, butylenglykol, hydrogenert soyabønneolje, trometamin, klorfenesin, 1,2-heksanediol, jernoksid (CI 77491).

Når jeg arbeider økt kaviar i huden min etter rensing og toning (under mitt serumtrinn), føles det lett så godt som litt klebrig i begynnelsen, men klebrigheten går bort som jeg fortsetter å jobbe i.

Når produktet er helt absorbert, føles huden min Hella hydratisert, som det gjør etter at jeg har brukt en avtale med olje, unntatt uten den fettete oljeinjenstanden.

Kan være noe å prøve hvis du trenger mer våthet, men kan ikke stå på produkter som føler seg tykke så vel som tunge.

Din Friendly Community Beaution Addict,

In partnering with beauty 360 and the CVS beauty Club, I’ve received product samples and/or compensation for my time and effort in creating this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. #sponsored #Beauty360atCVS

You should really ask me about my facial mask addiction. Or maybe you shouldn’t. because when I tell you that I stockpile masks like cat ladies stockpile all teh cute kittehs, you might think I’m a little crazy.

I just love masks! I think they’re great. among my favorite skincare products, they’re probably second only to moisturizers, because of the skin benefits, but also because they’re a fun way to take a break from life.

ANNONSE

Ya just put on your mask and chill for 15 minutes, and while I’m sitting there “in mask,” I totally forget about my chores and responsibilities. I don’t think about the dishes in the sink or vacuuming the stairs or doing the laundry. I’m totally preoccupied by the fact that I’m wearing a mask.

They’re a good way to tune out and focus on me. Plus, they’re an easy way to treat my skin.

I have masks from here to eternity, but I’m always looking for more (MOAR MASKS!). Up until recently, I had no idea there were so many different masks in the beauty 360 line at CVS/pharmacy, and most of them are less than $8 (on sale the sheet masks are usually less than $4).

They’ve got sheet masks (sometimes called tissue masks), sleep masks, masks in tubes, masks in jars, soothing masks, smoothing masks, deep moisture masks, detoxifying masks, brightening masks, anti-wrinkle firming masks and masks just for your eyes, and they’re loaded with interesting ingredients like coffee and tomato extract, charcoal and green caviar.

They’re also economical because, ya know, you’re at CVS, where you don’t expect to pay an arm and a leg, which means that if you’re already there getting emergency chocolate, wrapping paper or greeting cards, you can drop one into your basket without breaking the bank.

For the past couple weeks I’ve been using and liking some of their masks that come in tubes. I like that they’re gentle and don’t contain harsh, aggressive anti-aging compounds, just because I’ve been trying to avoid that kind of thing right now.

I also like that because they come in tubes, I can mix things up, like, if my combo skin feels thirsty, I’ll do the Hydrating amazing Calming Clay Mask all over my face except for my cheeks, where I’ll use the Brightening brilliance Mask, because I’ve got some uneven pigmentation and discoloration there.

Or, if my oily areas are even oilier than usual (the curse of combo skin), I’ll do the Detoxifying Purifying Mask on my forehead, nose and chin (it’s a good mild exfoliator), and then use either the Brightening mask or Hydrating mask everywhere else.

I’ll apply them and just sit and chill for 15 minutes while they work… perhaps read glamour or Allure, or watch makeup tutorials or Instagram kitten videos.

Then I’ll rinse them off, and apply moisturizer or a serum.

The nice-sized 4-oz. tube masks are frequently $7.99 each, and I think they’re a good deal for the price (they also go on sale a lot). My skin really likes them. I haven’t broken out once since I started using them, even though I haven’t been sleeping well, and when I rinse the masks off, my skin doesn’t feel tight, itchy or otherwise weird.

En annen ting? because these aren’t expensive, I like not feeling guilty when I want to use a little extra, which I usually do, in particular, with the Hydrating amazing Calming Clay Mask, which is my favorite one (I love aloe), whereas with more expensive masks I have to be very careful about how much I use.

This being winter, my skin has been drier and more sensitive than usual, but the amazing Calming mask helps. I use it before my regular moisturizer, and my skin feels less tight.

ANNONSE

Do you ever use face masks? more importantly, have you ever startled somebody while wearing one? Inquiring minds want to know.

The Vera Bradley small Eau de Toilette Spray set in Multi 2016 ($48)
As I was going with my products before my recent move, I realized something.

I am a major hoarder!

ANNONSE

I had a great deal of expired products, as well as even for the ones that didn’t have an expiration date, I still understood they were because of be discarded.

This was even more proven when sweetheart was putting away the kitchen area products as well as found, as well as I quote, “Tea from 2007. 2007 BABE!”

I just dislike throwing things out, guys. like the authentic Chinese black tea from my old neighbor who invited me over for a conventional tea as well as chit-chat after I asked to borrow a screwdriver to put together my roommate’s shoddy Ikea bed? That was only two years ago. who cares if the box states 2007 on it!

Tea aside, I truly needed to go with my products before this move, as well as when I got to my perfumes, I discovered that I had practically totally full bottles of Victoria trick Body Mist, something I had been into for a while, circa 2009.

I was an particularly faithful fan of Fresh & Clean, with the matching body lotion.

I understood they were old, however I wasn’t sure just exactly how old up until I opened them as well as detected something rather unlike the apples as well as lilies explained on the label. Instead…they smelled mainly like alcohol. I hadn’t kept them in the very best places. They were frequently housed on windowsills where they were subjected to sunlight.

So away they went, together with an old bottle of Calvin Klein for women that had likewise seen much better days.

Despite the truth that, nowadays, I choose body oils as well as lighter perfumes, I don’t turn my nose up at distinct sets from recognized companies, which is why I was curious about the new spring small Eau de Toilette Spray set ($48) from Vera Bradley.

From L-R: Appleberry Champagne, Cotton Flower, Macaroon Rose, as well as Vanilla Sea Salt.

The very first time I opened the set, I was struck by the familiar packaging. It was just the type of thing I partner with Vera Bradley.

The brand was established in 1982 by Barbara Bradley Baekgaard as well as Patricia Miller, as well as while finest understood for their uniquely patterned bags, they’ve broadened to include accessories like wallets, cosmetic cases, jewelry, stationary and, recently, perfume!

The set right here includes four fragrances in a purse-friendly 10 ml. Each scent is stated to “evoke” a different feeling or emotion.

The back of the box likewise doubles as a mirror…
All of the scents in the set are likewise offered in 50ml as well as 15ml sizes.

Upon opening the box itself, I might certainly smell…something. I wasn’t sure which perfume it was as well as believed that one of them may be leaking or have a loose cap. getting the private vials out of the box was rather challenging as well as took some prodding, however I ultimately got them free.

Appleberry Champagne

Appleberry Champagne, while at very first seeming not to have any type of particular scent, leaves a good crisp hint of apple after it’s enabled to rest on your skin.

Cotton Flower

Cotton Flower, unfortunately, didn’t have the exact same result. It reminded me heavily of other “cotton” scents I’ve understood in the past (think bath as well as Body clean Cotton) as well as faded quickly.

Macaroon Rose

Macaroon increased was surprisingly light as well as floral, as you may expect, however dissatisfied me in its general bouquet. The increased scent was much more of an concept of what a increased scent ought to be as well as didn’t include any type of of the myriad undertones that increased scents are understood for (like bergamot, vanilla, as well as tobacco, to name a few of my favorites).

Vanilla Sea Salt

ANNONSE

Vanilla Sea Salt [turned out to be] one of my favorites, oddly sufficient (odd for the sole reason that vanilla is potentially my least preferred scent, ever), since I discover it to be quickly overdone, particularly in perfume (and candles!), however this formula was enjoyable as well as reminded me of vanilla sugar cookies.

Overall, I’m not sure exactly how I feel about the long lasting impacts of Vera Bradley’s perfumes. They don’t seem to last longer than an hour or two at many for me, as well as what remains after that isn’t extremely strong. I believe I’d be much more thinking about their body lotions or the candle choices they have.

What are your preferred perfumes as well as scents? Are you a fan of Vera Bradley products?

Til tross for disse rimmelen varige overflate leppestifter av Kate Moss er ganske god kvalitet, jeg føler meg som når jeg bruker dem, jeg får ikke nøyaktig samme sminkeopplevelse som når jeg bruker, sier en YSL leppestift.
Vel, for meg, sminke emballasje er ekstremt viktig.

Fordi sminke ikke bare handler om metoden, ser jeg etter at jeg har gjort opp ansiktet mitt. For meg, mye enda viktigere, det handler om den generelle opplevelsen, så vel som nøyaktig hvor mye jeg gleder meg til å sette den på.

ANNONSE

Jeg mener, det er som når jeg går til en restaurant der maten er gitt på en kreativt attraktiv måte. Til å begynne med må maten de serveres å være gode, men metoden den tilbys absolutt legger til den kulinariske opplevelsen.

(Når du noen gang kommer til Bologna, sørg for at du går til Casa Monica, så vel som La Taverna del Farneto, mine foretrukne restauranter i området. Fantastisk mat, imponerende service samt et sparket tilbake miljø – en best kombinasjon , hvis du spør meg!)

Det samme gjelder for sminke. Produktene må være gode, men hvis de også er tilgjengelige i nydelig emballasje, gjør det opplevelsen mye morsommere.

Jeg har et mykt område for ganske emballasje … kan du fortelle?
Når det er sagt, koster noen ganske emballasje mye, så jeg tror det er utmerket at det er også gode kvalitetsprodukter som er tilgjengelige i vanlig, lavprisemballasje samt detaljhandel for mindre enn bekostning av en kale smoothie. Det er flott å ha alternativer, ikke sant?

ANNONSE

Nå som jeg tror på det, da jeg sa at sminkeemballasje er ekstremt avgjørende for meg, burde jeg virkelig ha uttalt at det er ekstremt avgjørende for bestemte produktkategorier.

Som, hvis de er i mitt budsjett, vil jeg normalt få vakkert pakket leppestifter, øyeskygge, bronzere, rødmer, så vel som paletter, mens, mye av tiden, jeg er glad med apotek mascaras samt eyeliners ( forutsatt at høy kvalitet er god, åpenbart).

Med sistnevnte, selv når de er høye, får jeg ikke den luxe følelsen av at jeg kommer fra de andre produktene (spesielt leppestifter). Forstår du hva jeg mener?

Tape er din BFF når du har på deg på øynene dine. Seriøst!

Selv når jeg prøver å være ekstra, ekstra forsiktig, når jeg jobber med glitter, uunngåelig, vil Flecks lande på nesen og kinnene, så jeg har alltid en rulle av nexcare mild papirbånd rundt (på apoteket, du vil Typisk finne den i samme område som band-aids). Denne her med dispenseren koster mindre enn $ 3.

ANNONSE

Regular Scotch Tape vil også fungere, men jeg tror nexcare tape, som er utviklet for førstehjelp, fungerer bedre og er enklere å fjerne.

Bare ta en god mengde, og rull det rundt fingrene som så …

Deretter trykker du forsiktig på huden din uansett hvor du ser diverse glitterbiter og bobs som flyter rundt hvor de ikke forventes å være …

“Forsiktig” er det viktigste ordet her! Du vil ikke være for aggro når du trykker ned fordi du kan ende opp med å løfte noe av grunnlaget ditt, eller hva som helst annet du har påført.

Dette forslaget fungerer også for glitter på lokkene dine, som, sier, hvis du utilsiktet gjelder for mye, eller hvis du legger litt på, men så forandre deg.

ANNONSE

Jeg gjorde det bare for et øyeblikk for øyeblikket! MAC 3D Glitter i 3D messing gull Jeg hadde på seg i toppbildet bare fungerte ikke for meg (det er litt gul, methinks), så jeg tok mange av det av å bruke NexCare Tape, og det forstyrret ikke skyggen Jeg hadde på seg under.

Oh, well… At least today I could conveniently Blame It On NARS (hello, easy transitions!).

Introducing the new $59 NARS Blame It On NARS Cheek Palette, one of this summer’s three limited edition gift sets from NARS (the others are the supreme NARS and true NARS lip sets).

The NARS Blame It On NARS Cheek palette ($59)

Clockwise from the lower left, that’s blush in Day Dream, Highlighting blush Powder in Satellite of Love, Bronzing Powder in Casino and blush in new Attitude
Yeah…this is one of those blush palettes that could potentially elevate your mood if you spend all day sitting under fluorescent lights amidst a maze of cubicles. Or if you just need a getaway as much as I do. It has that “virtual getaway vibe,” but please try to remember that homeboy sitting in the cube next to you is actually your co-worker Bob, and not the lovely bartender at some fancy resort.

So please don’t wink at Bob and ask him to whip you up a Mai Tai…unless you really like Bob.

Yeah, I have no idea what I’m saying, LOL! I told you it was one of those days…

Also comes with a tiny Ita travel-sized brush…
So, what all do you get with this set?

Well, other than the sudden overwhelming urge to book a trip to Kauai, you get two blushes (they’re 0.14 ounces each, which is just slightly smaller than the 0.16-oz. blush singles in the permanent line), one 0.14-oz. highlighter, one 0.15-oz. bronzer, a tiny travel-sized NARS Ita brush and a beautiful mirrored compact that will make you feel like a butterfingered bonehead whenever you try to open it because the latch is quite tricky.

All for $59.

Wearing Casino just below my cheekbones, a mix of the Day dream and new attitude Blushes on the apples of my cheeks and Satellite of love on my upper cheekbones
The blushes and highlighter are those strange kinds of powders that don’t appear pigmented in swatches but apply much much more intensely (I only need one or two layers).

The bronzer applies somewhat sheer and typically requires three layers to show up well on my skin, but I don’t really mind, because it’s subsequently easy to control. Plus, it blends well with other products, which ought to save me a little time. as for wear time, we’re taking a look at about six or seven hours for each, so not bad, and that’s pretty common for NARS.

Swatches from the left: Highlighting blush Powder in Satellite of Love, Bronzing Powder in Casino, blush in Day dream and blush in new Attitude
I think everything comes together well in this little set. The products work well in conjunction with each other for looks with bronzed, pink cheeks that perfectly balance smooth, even color and subtle shimmer.

ANNONSE

Not “glitter bomb” shimmer or “booty shorts at the roller rink on a Saturday night” shimmer, but completely vacation-appropriate sprinkles of tiny glitter that tell the world, “Hey, world, don’t even bother asking me to do those TPS reports today. I’m on vacay, bitches! now hand me a froo-froo drink with an umbrella before someone gets hurt.”

PRICE: $59
AVAILABILITY: limited edition, and available now at Nordstrom stores and online (also concerning NARS boutiques and the NARS site August 1).
