Things To Write On A Wedding Card For Friend

Crystal Glass Powder Make-Up Test enduring! (Diary of a trick put to the test from a long day)

'm back from my visit to Milan standard, on this tour with festival adjoining the evening of arrival, which is a must be in place as possible. Which translates as: wake up, makeup, parties and take a trip odyssey style for 2 hours by train, looking for lunch, afternoon shopping, evening alcohol, reuniting with friends and other alcohol, sleeping about 16 hours minimum from the moment you make up.

It 'a lot to ask a make up, I'm sure. For this reason I decided that I would have done things right, and I chose to get a result visually less weird than normal, but focusing on the quality of individual products.

Nothing to say girls, at 4 am the trick was yet perfect, including foundation, without the need for touch-ups (lips apart, but this is normal). I confess to having used all end products definitely not cheap, but seeing what I expected, I preferred to give the bottom of the stock of the best I had at home.

fiscalizzare We are not so much on production, my skills are what they are and I'm not a professional way, rather they are more un'imbratta face.

The result obtained (and maintained for the duration of the day) is this:

Accomplice my trusty MAC Make Up Artist of Genoa, I came in possession of three samples of products suitable for my skin type. sorely tested by this test, aimed largely passed with flying colors, as I say, at the end of revelry, it was still all there, including foundation (and this is the biggest surprise!)

A the right is a sample of cream should be Studio Moisture Fix SPF 15 . A moisturizer that at the first rehearsal I had convinced a girlfriend, but I decided to give her a second chance on this occasion. I do not have beautiful skin, mixed a little dry and a little fat, do me the money or defect in the dry unsightly cuticles with, or in the various and assorted fat with clarity. I am playing with the basics with this moisturizing skin cream. It just very little, dries quickly and the feeling is good.

After about ten minutes away to the primer, I thought was the undisputed protagonist of a make-up that has to beat the 16 hours of resistance. The sample is at the center Prep + Prime Skin Brightening Serum . Fabulous! Of all the primer for the face I've felt, is quello che rimane più leggero pur dando un'ottima sensazione di levigatezza della pelle. Rimane asciutto, a differenza per esempio dei colorati di Kiko, da più un finish simile al primer matte di Kiko, ma la pelle rimane liscia liscia come quelli di puro silicone come quello di Sephora o della Smashbox. 

Dopo qualche minuto via al fondotinta. Quello nel campione è Pro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation colore NC20. Purtroppo, come costatato con il make Up Artist di MAC il 20 è leggermente troppo scuro per me, ma il 15 era decisamente troppo chiaro. Un pò si nota, non è il colore perfetto, ma temo che di più non si potesse fare.

Ho finito il tutto con un pò di countouring (fatto bad I know, I'm trying to learn but it is not easy!) with what is actually a blush of Madina (extreme blusher 01, almost a brown matte) and a little blush itself (the Siberian Collection Of Chilled Pink Flowers Kiko). A little bulb (my Palletta Kiko pink that I love, the Ultra Tech Sphere, in Chilled Rose never abandon more). A pass Make Up Forever HD powder, plus a sprinkling of Fix, and the face was fine.

Result: standing ovation! The night was still all in place, the perfect foundation, dry, smooth, dry areas without them shiny. The best result never obtained a foundation for me. (Tomorrow I'm going to transform the sample into the actual product, because of me had amazing results).

For eyes, I went on the traditional. Absolutely could not remember the particulars of which primer to use with MAC paint pot, so I had to make the heretical, groped a road (which I believe was the wrong one) and hope for the best. I put the Primer Potion Urban Decay, and then the Paint Pot (Bare Study) MAC. The color is made with a mix of brownish Kiko, the darker color (which is not seen well in the photo) is the color of the Jet Urban Decay (from The Black Palette) a black with purple highlights.

Fluidline Eyeliner and mascara are (Dark Diversion) and Zoom Lash (New Hue) , these beautiful pieces of that collection came out with dark burgundy Yours stylishly that made us all a little crazy. Waterline in a beautiful pencil Madina just the same color (should be K45).

Well, nothing to say even on products for the eyes. The eye shadow has held up very much, as perfect in the morning (the primer potion is a certainty), the mascara did his honor, the fluidline during the day has faded slightly on the tails, but probably for my lack of dexterity in 'use, comuqnue or because it was laid on a bit of eye shadow at that point.

It must be said that compared with other gel eyeliner that I have an excellent writing effect and is very soft and stretches easily, this is joke Only a black eyeliner that I found yesterday by a 2 Euro Madina, very soft and very dark. But unlike this eyeliner Madina, when the dryer Sitting fluidline is like a tattoo, is there and not budge even with bombs (of Madina that I have it on from 4 hours to try it, and even if I touch the line drooling and I color the finger).

yield really good.

It is just a little bit negative, but you could not ask for miracles, is the department lips. In photos I had not yet made a decision, and I only on the Lip Relief Kiko, waiting to choose how to end it all. Did not want to overload the lips (weird, but I preferred to go on this ride sober) and I finally decided to make them even lighter than my natural color with one coat of MAC's Creme d'Nude, a nude more to beige which rose more than I usually do. I had mixed several times during the day, but only the lipstick you can do.

Final thoughts? I asked both to make this up, I never thought would rule, and I was ready to stop somewhere to fix at least eyeliner pencil and cosmetics, even though I deliberately chose products (almost all MAC) which on paper would be if not the top, almost. And I admit that I have made a dozen times the cheapest ones I use daily. Of course, I would do this not die every day, and I would use them very often (except for mascara and I fluidline an obsession at this time), but for special occasions, where we are away from home and with little possibility of making all , are definitely a step above!

Extreme Bleeding Between Periods

Kiko: Glam Hyper Sphere powder blush Ultra Tech and enlightening.

So, before you begin to describe the products of this line (which I have literally fatto impazzire!) è necessaria una premessa e qualche informazione.

Il negozio Kiko nel Designer Outlet di Serravalle , oltre ad avere un sacco di prodotti Kiko della linea regolare a prezzi scontatissimi (esempio: ombretti a 2 euro, Colour Sphere a 3,90,  Lip gloss dai 2 ai 4 Euro e così via), ha la particolarità di avere su base regolare i top seller delle collezioni passate. In questo periodo (mi han detto che per almeno 6 mesi i prodotti ci saranno sicuramente) hanno tutte le palette Back to Black (all’incirca sui 9 Euro, non ricordo esattamente), gli ombretti in crema della Sun Essentials, alcuni fard Soft Touch Electric Town in the collection and so on. All products are no longer available in stores and at prices lower than the output. Some are probably remaining from old collections, but the clerk told me that some products (such as pallets) have been specifically remade exclusively for this shop and that will be for quite a while '.

addition to this there is a line of products exclusively for them, which was never present in the other store, and never will be. This is not a huge range of products, are few but are of excellent quality and price.

There are two shades of earth (about 7 euros), three of Blush (7,10 Euro), quattro gloss (4 Euro circa, molto pigmentati, praticamente rossetti), tre tonalità di fondotinta in mousse (7,70 Euro), due di illuminante (6,40 Euro), mi sembra sei o otto matitoni per occhi (più grandi dei normali matitoni, hanno un temperino tutto loro, colori belli accesi, azzurro, fucsia, nero, verde e poi non ricordo), e per ora non mi ricordo altro.

 

Le terre mi sono sembrate buone, ma non è un prodotto che uso quindi ho passato. Se non ricordo male non sono brillantinate, quindi up! I gloss invece decisamente favolosi! Brillanti e pigmentati, la prossima volta che passo me li prendo sicuro perchè meritano, unica have a packaging defect than those with the brush that I do not really like it. The Pencil is wonderful. I am not very convinced by their extra large size, because it forces you to take 2 € a penknife attached ... but honestly I think deserve a chance, because the colors are really beautiful bright as I like.

We come in detail to the ones I bought I:

12H Mousse (mat foundation), 01 color - peach ivory. 7.70 euros in a 25 ml tube.

A foundation in very light mousse-like texture and opacity to that of Essence, but with a more delicate and natural, matt finish, very dry. Neither praises nor infamy, is a fund that light for every day is fine.

Hyper Glam pearly blush, 01 - rose dew. 7.10 Euro, wafer 10 g

It 's a little bit of glitter blush typical Kiko, can be compared to those of the Siberian Flowers, but with a slightly satin finish and more natural color. The colors available are three, all very simili al color carne. Questo che ho io tende al rosa, uno sulla mia pelle quasi non si vedeva essendo esattamente lo stesso colore, e l’altro era leggermente più scuro della mia pelle. Non fosse per i soliti brillantini sarebbero favolosi. La loro più grande particolarità rispetto agli altri blush Kiko (come quelli della Siberian Flowers e della Electric Town) è che l’effetto ed i colori sono più tenui e naturali, mentre gli altri erano colori più decisi. Ammetto che adoro questo fard e sicuro correrò a prendermi anche gli altri due! Il prezzo è buono, c’è tanto prodotto e la confezione è molto bella. 10!

 

 

And now the last, but what has become by far my absolute favorite product Kiko:

Ultra Tech Sphere (ultra fresh pearl), 01, Chilled Rose. 6.40 Euro. light water-based powder.

It looks like a powder but when you take it with your fingers (I think it's the best way to put this product) effect that the tattoo is to wet powder. I tried to do a swatch, but does not perform well, the finish is very natural, slightly glazed and glitter., The "sparkle" you see is caused by the flash, but does not quite get the idea. The color you see very little, almost transparent, but the effect of "light" is by far the best among all the lighting that I tried. Once paving is dry and does not move even by rubbing with your fingers. I have no other ideas to describe this product is proven, it is fabulous. 10 + + +

Silica Powders: MUFE, snow, Kiko and ELF in comparison

Then, we start to say a few words on the famous powder of silicon that rages so among us all.

E 'of a particular product, not to be considered "all day". This disturbs me, because once put on the market by Kiko became practically accessible to all, even those that have never posed the question of what kind of product and consider it a simple powder.

And it is not.

say that the tangible result of the application is perfect. It makes the skin smooth as silk, not change the color of makeup is perfectly transparent, hide any sign of pores and has a powerful control of the shiny areas, absorbing excess sebum.

really spectacular.

Problems arise on two fronts:

1. The flash . Although the HD MUFE has been designed for professional makeup, has a strange reaction to the flash. Had turned a bit 'of time is a photo "fail" by Nicole Kidman, in criticizing her make-up artist because it presented absolutely unsightly white areas. I have no confirmation sure in his case it was this powder, even if it seems she, but I found the same problem as a result and it occurred to me, my friend and a makeup artist after using these powders. ;

2. Not to be used daily or on dry skin . This powder has a powerful control of bright areas, but dry as hell. I have an area that T plump, I use every now and then, over the weekend, or at least once or twice a week and I have big problems, but use it every day, I do not think it would be a wise choice. The skin dries and cracks.

I can only imagine what the result of frequent use on sensitive skin or dry. It should be used sparingly, very much.

Once it is clear these "small" difettucci, we come to confonto between different brands.

Snow Cosmetics: Powder Hollywood

" Format : Large pack of 7 g mineral powder in plastic bottle 30g dispenser with transparent cover with screen printing and holographic . "A Euro 12.90

can buy the mini-size that" contains about 0.7 g of mineral powder in plastic bottle with dispenser 10g transparent, Sifter sealer and cover with holographic screen printing " to 3.90 euros.

INCI: Silica.

Make Up Forever HD High Definition Powder

INCI: Silica

Size: Pack of 10g in plastic bottle with Sifter for the cost of 29.20 Euros (about)

Kiko: Invisible Powder

Inci: silica, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, undecylenoyl glycine, glycine Capryloyl.

Format: The packaging of the powdered mineral foundation is that of Kiko, plastic jar for a 13.5 g cost of 11.90 Euro. Besides the usual Sifter has a lid with the applicator included.

There is also that of ELF, but I have not tried because the incidence and the price did not convince me at all, having also bought the others.

High Definition Powder in the jar of 8g with Sifter and down to 6 Euro.

INCI: Dimethicone / Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Silica

Looking at the incidence is now known as MUFE and Snow are equal, pure silica. Effect: power ... very good result, better control of sebum and lasting for several hours, annoying effect if used frequently high. They are the top two, and, given the price, take the time proossima Snow, I'm sorry to leave my MUFE, but Hollywood is the same and costs a third of the HD.

Kiko : the incidence is clearly different, not only contains silica. At the beginning I did turn up their nose, then testing it I noticed some features that convinced me not a little. Meanwhile, the effect is less than the HD mattificante while remaining quality. Takes less time and has a control on oily skin less shiny. Dry but very much less.

For this reason, it is possible to more frequent use of this powder compared to HD, although never to exceed once a day, sometimes once a week.

Another strength of Kiko: hated the jar with the applicator. A format that hatred in the case of the foundation, since all we use the brush, but in the case of this fine powder is perfect. Si rovescia il barattolo, si apre e si tampona sul viso la polvere, poi si stende con un pennello (perfetto quello della Essence!). Nel caso di questa finissima polvere è il modo più comodo. Con la HD e la Hollywood ogni volta che si preleva il prodotto con il pennello o con il piumino, per quanta attenzione di faccia, la nuvoletta di povere che si alza è inquietante (e non molto sana da respirare). Con il sistema di Kiko è ridotta al minimo. Approved!
 

ELF : non l’ho ancora provata, ma l’inci più a base di dimeticone che di silica mi piace poco, Bisogna ammettere che i siliconi per rendere la pelle liscia e perfetta sono i migliori (basta vedere all the primer, what do you think are meant to give that beautiful smooth skin to smooth?) ... maybe I'll give you a chance with the next order and try, if I will tell you the differences.

conclusions? A fabulous product, a must have. But be used with caution, not only produced on special occasions . The Hollywood is the undisputed, the high price of HD MUFE mate, and its incidence of pure silica. Good to be attached to the product of Hollywood Kiko, who, being less "pure" performance despite the lower, allowing a more frequently (but not too much or you will ruin the skin). Use, as far as I can tell, is totally not recommended for dry and sensitive, highly recommended for oily and impure (being careful to remove make-up well and moisturize your skin when you use it) and I would use it for other only on critical areas where the foundation usually gets to shine after a few hours (in my case usually the nose and cheekbones).

eyebrows?

For girls like me, who need to play well for those 4 hairs that are found as the eyebrows, possibly with a bold and correct as possible, and does not reduce fade after recently, the situation is not rosy.

I've tried everything, and needless to say that it is not simple solutions to be implemented.

advise you do not know about pencils, although all the ones I tried seemed to me, and Durette-performing, so I suppose it is not easy even that department. I find that pencils are an excellent and fast system when you simply fill up the eyebrows well designed.

In my case, I always need something more, fill the holes, the queues stretching well, adjust the wing tip ...

Abandoned dreams of something simple and fast, nel corso del tempo ho provato qualche prodotto, trovandomi meglio con quelli classici in polvere, che io applico rigorosamente con il mio fido pennello angolato piatto Kiko 204 (proprio per il mio estremo bisogno di precisione).

 

 

Alcuni prodotti mi hanno sonoramente delusa, altri, inaspettatamente sorpresa.

Vi illustro le mie soluzioni preferite, alcune decisamente low cost, e una assolutamente no, ma magnifica.

 

Partiamo dalla soluzione semplice, affordable and easily purchased in any store Kiko.

Eyebrow Marker (no tranfer natural tattoo) marker eyebrows.

Never be that Kiko speak only hurt! (No verooo ... some things are Kiko fe-no-me-li-na!). Pennarellino This is the latest addition to my range of products for eyebrows. Actually I was determined to try the Brow Marker Penultimate of MAC, but not knowing how I would have found the "marker" spend so suddenly at around 17 Euros (I think) I looked like a great idea. There is also an alternative to the Euro 8.50 Prestige, but the chronic lack of testers in stores where I saw it, made me deviate Kiko.

The eyebrow marker costs 5.90 Euro (after all is not too much) and is available in 3 colors. In some reviews in which it compares with that MAC is now clear that the tip of the MAC is smaller, is also available in one color. I have not yet occurred in person (but I will make sure), the MAC appears to be far better. Despite this, I must say that I found in Kiko a good product, good writing is precise and clean, life is not great but acceptable.

The marker (Kiko as MAC) is not a color from the net, how could it be that dell'eyeliner a marker. It 's a light color, slightly transparent, which gives a very natural effect. The intensity is modulated, and fill in eyebrows is very good. In my case alone does little, needing some incli even more, but it is easy to use, and a natural result is not perfect and ideal.

Excellent product type, also approved of the economic Kiko, to prove to do some experiment is ideal.

Another product cheaply is to Essence, the 'eyebrow Stylist September. Costs between 2 and 3 Euro if I remember correctly, and consists of two wafers, a clear and a dark, perfect for mix and create the desired shade. Many girls find it better, I honestly, I could not write it in any way. The brush does not take powder well, that clings to the skin but slips away. A great pity, because the choice of colors is perfect, and the remarkably low price.

  

Altra soluzione economica è l’ ELF Studio Eyebrow Kit .  Costa 4 Euro, presente in 4 diverse tonalità. Packaging stiloso nero tipico della linea studio, ha un pennellino doppio, piatto diagonale da un lato, tondo dall’altro. Ha un colore in polvere più chiaro, per riempire le sopracciglia, ed uno in crema per delinearle. Problema: la polvere scrive zero, la crema è solida come il cemento. La polvere non riesco proprio ad usarla, non scrive, la crema con un po’ di pazienza scrive e fa il suo lavoro egregiamente, essendo in crema ha anche una leggera capacità di fissaggio dei peletti ribelli. Realmente un peccato per la polvere, because if the set would be good. I was hoping so much better.

We come now to my everyday favorite solution: Brow Essentials of Wet 'n Wild , now known as Ultimate Brow Kit. I know there are many discussions about this brand, and also that it became very difficult to find. But if you happen to get their hands on this small object, do not run away, costs about 5 Euro and it is fabulous. The brush and two soldiers, but it works divinely makes perfect lines and fills in well, powder is pigmented, good, and lasts a long time. Special features of the set is that the two colors on shutters are both drawn eyebrows and they look very strong, but highly effective. Easy to use and affordable, it's my favorite. I think it is too "loaded" effect for someone who wants to fill up a bit 'their eyebrows, but is perfect for those like me with the four put on the cross hair to tame it completely. There is also a septum of transparent wax to keep the hair line. Rated 10 + + +, spectacular. The best.

My final solution is not economic, reserved for special occasions, where I also time to do everything quietly, as it is not the most practical. But the result is the best, better markers and dust.

Make Up For Ever, Waterproof Eyebrow Kit . Accurate, lasts forever, beautiful result marked.

E 'in 4 different colors, mischiabili between them, with a creamy, in a tubettini not easy to use.

Personally, I put a bit of color on the back of his hand, picks it up with the brush plate 204 by Kiko and drawing the eyebrows. The color is as soft texture, but dries quickly, and as the Aqua Cream, once it is placed, it is not taken down from there.

There are two versions :

The complete kit " consists of a waterproof concealer and two small brushes to stretch, correct and redraw the line of the eyebrows . The brushes are fabulous, there's a flat diagonal, and a tipped marker, small, round, slightly larger than those of eyeliner. Both are of excellent quality, despite its size.

Alternatively you can buy just the refill, which is the tube of paint and nothing else.

It 's a fabulous product that provides excellent results, but it's definitely difficilino to master.

downside? Cost: 37 Euro the complete kit, 22 color alone.

lucky that during these balances Sephora sells the kit at 20. Better take advantage before it vanishes.

prodottini I tested two other brows to tame the rebels Designer Eyebrow Gel Mascara of Kiko (3 Euro Sale Outlet Kiko, 7.20 Euro in the shop), and the Lash & Brow Gel Mascara of Essence (about 2.5 Euro).

Neither is satisfactory, that Kiko is fresh water, the Essence of a little better, but still insufficient. It was worth trying.

Sorority Initiation Games

Fixing ... Fix + or do it yourself?

Well, until recently the problem of "fixers" I do not set myself. Then I got the complete set of pigments from America's NYX, it takes too Kiko outlet with prices to be cooked "you launch them behind ... and then we also use wet hand, which I always avoided because as I said ... I'm lazy.

Using bit special occasions for a foundation "unstable over time" as the Soft Touch of Mousse Essence, and the classic mineral for the times I go out at night, I would be a good fixer own convenience, but those on the market I was never attracted more than too many. When you read the tutorial how all of us, it seemed to understand that the choice more or less obliged to be among the MAC's Fix + and Fix home made of glycerol and distilled water. Stars and their stables, if we want to see it in terms of money.

Fix the homemade took me right away ...

cost: 3 € (2.60 glycerol in pharmacy and 50 percent water at the supermarket)

quantity ... so ... I'll have six months to a year retracing every 2 weeks as recommended in the tutorial and doing more or less the amount that I think will serve me.

went tried, partly because the Mac told me that the Fix + lavender del'attuale collection was finished and had to come, and so I did.

"recipes" online, there are several and of people more than once I have given the right upright.

had narrowed the field to two choices, according to the most "voted"

3 parts water, 1 part glycerol

9 parts water to 1 part of glycerol

The difference was significant, only option to try both.

one with more glycerol has a high fixing power, but pesantina and feel, largely through the use of wet products.

The other is perfect for the wet, but it is leggerina as a fixative.

Moral of the story use the 3:1 to secure everything done with a good sprinkling from a distance, and the other for the use of wet powders are different. This solution

me quite PLEASED.

I eventually opted for a middle way 6 parti d'acqua  e 1 di glicerolo. Perfetta.

Guardando il video di Enkore Make-Up sul Fix plus, ne esaltava le proprietà idratanti/rinfrescanti/antinfiammatorie se usato spruzzato sul viso lavato e struccato.

Il mio intruglio possiede le proprietà idratanti, avendo la glicerina. In effetti a prova fatta e usato così qualche giorno, mi ha soddisfatto appieno, da una bella sensazione e non unge per nulla, ovviamente.

Le differenze tra il Fix home made e il Fix + MAC alla fine, studiando le composizioni, sono una serie di estratti vegetali (frutta, camomilla, thè verde...), l'immancabile tocoferolo per evitare di buttarlo ogni 2 settimane come il mio, fragranza e poco altro.

In practice, the typical function of the tonic ...

my prescription was changed to 5 parts water, one glycerol, one of my favorite facial tonic, the one with the quality I need, and possibly, a scent I like (lavender in my case).

The result I like a lot.

does its job of fixative, spray before you wear makeup, later to fix everything, I tried it with eye shadows cooked Kiko ... very good indeed, and also to put the bottom with mineral wet brush technique ... so much stuff ... a truly better.

The skin seems to appreciate, typically dry areas (sides of the nose and mouth, and center of the forehead) are much less, typically more than fat (cheeks and chin) are a bit less (little h), the nose is always a problem, the skin is plump as ever, but there is no increase blacks points, which indeed seem to be very limited and not excessively dilated pores to be mine.

If I had not done it, I'd buy it again.

missing compared with the twin rich, Fix + MAC ...

By the time I tested the concoction Fix + laundry was available again (I think it was for a week or so, then is exhausted di nuovo).

Costo: 18 Euro (cipollini santi!), come la versione non alla lavanda tradizionale.

Quantità: 100 ml

Risultato: bè volete mettere? Fa molto più figoso, ha una bella confezione hi tech, poi è della MAC, fa pro... Scherzi a parte, resa ottima, all'altezza della sua fama. Il mio fondo minerale ringrazia e ha aquistato nuova vita, la stesura non risulta "polverosa" come quando lo metto asciutto, e i cotti Kiko prendono dei colori favolosi.

Il potere fissante direi c'è, la sensazione sulla pelle è molto gradevole, leggera, toglie la sensazione di secchezza che si prova dopo essersi lavate il viso prima di aver messo la crema. Esattamente come my concoction ...

Final thoughts?

Apparently, as far as I could determine, is a type of product that will not do more for less, enters into my daily routine. The result seems the same conentrambi products.

My concoction costs 3 € and lasts an eternity, but every two weeks I have to do it again. Stay in a bottle, anonymous, tiny and convenient. Scent of lavender, until they decide it's time to take a tonic to my face better. We'll use it every day on my make-up daily with few pretensions, what I use to go to class, at the supermarket, shopping.

The Fix + is a drug, I think I'll use every time I aim to have the most perfect make-up that I can get in the evening, when I make things complicated and figose. Is too expensive for everyday use and, unfortunately, this gives me great pain, but pain in my wallet that would be worse. The reason why I choose to use it at times "important" is not because it's better than my intruglietto, just because now I have it (and I love him to distraction anyway), and why do I not.

I'm not sure that the MAC will recover, and if I do, however, will be joined by my homemade Fix the master will always be in the normal daily routine.

final remark about other fixers:

ELF Makeup Studio & Set Mist . 4 Euro, 60 ml.

As the MAC has Fix + fruit extract, green tea, cucumber (cucumber). Does not have the chamomile, but the aloe. Contains parabens (I do not comment on this), the MAC no. The MAC is made with glycerin (moisturizing and fixing shall be borne by her), the ELF is based AMP-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer (also called Fixate ™ G-100 Polymer), more typical of hair fixatives, and if I understand it, Bollone Red biodizionario its incidence begins to ... Follow-Propylene Glycol (more Bollone red at the beginning of incidence), a solvent that I think to assist in the evaporation when sprayed, then at least do not remain on the face. Moisturizing power as follows: 0, fixing power: probably good.

probably will try it soon as I can and I will tell you, but so out of hand to convince me very little.

KIKO, Make Up Fixer . Spray, 75 ml, 7.90 Euro. No need to look at the incidence to understand that now is an alcohol-based ... just a sniff. However, in the hollow fan of the new masters of the Propylene Glycol, Butane and propane (be it sprays, that spray is not necessarily divine), isobutane and rubbing alcohol, some herbs (chamomile and calendula), and the power binder is given by PVP / VA COPOLYMER (more Bollone red). Binding power: bho, drying power : 10 (Alcohol?? Really?? On the face ???). Rejected without the possibility of redemption even someone like me who does not consider the incidence very ... Alcohol? no joke ... With all the shaking that I have to do to keep your face hydrated slightly ... If I go to savings rather than the ELF ...

Brushes are easy to find but expensive? Make Up Holic

Finally I got the various packages that I had lost half of Europe, a common feature of all ... the presence Brush! Joy and pain for all of us, the brushes are a thorny issue.

If readily available, are expensive as sin, or bad ... if not both.

online ... If you bought a lottery.

My history with the brushes was tragicomic, as I believe that many noobs Clio wanna-be. I had always arranged with what was, with the applications (which I hate!) Located within the slices, with the mini spugnettine, fingers ...
by an amateur, I tried to get by as best I could to get the Brush Discrete, without having to make journeys of hope for them, and if possible, without spending too much money ...

I was still piccolletta and I travel to Genoa and Milan go shopping, when I stand in the old Rinascente of Make Up Forever ... Love at first sight, of course, and immediately became the happy owner Aquarelle of 5 (which I still, and still work very well, to timeless as the color, odor, texture). I have no idea how they are in possession, because I was too ignorant to know what was the MAC. But my first brush was the MAC 210 , that little small for liquid eyeliner, the method I use watercolor and my unbridled passion. My concept of leaving home "make-up" includes black eyeliner, black kohl, black mascara. Without not even mentioned to put the bill out the door. At the time I had paid, I'm pretty sure because it seemed madness, between 12 and 15 000 pounds (he was fifteen years ago ... let's not for tax Metallica rolled and still had hair on his head ...) . The watercolors were not less brave with their 16 thousand pounds a bottle, ... money well spent, definitely.

Nothing to say about this brush, after more than a decade of honorable service in the pay of an inability which does not even have the basics for good maintenance of the object in question ... it's perfect. Could almost pass for new, and it is not my doing. Rating: 10 + + +, more praise for the skill of survival.

The rest of my brushes are less than two years, and now falls within humanity as possible.

Did you have an eye shadow brush for the Body Shop's Colourings, he heroically survived more than a decade in my hand, treated worse as I could, and he is still in good shape, he deserves praise for its current condition, but not being more available in any form, omit. Also in the wake of Clio (not saying atrocities, we do it all), I was infected by one of his very first video in which he spoke, perhaps for the first time, the mineral foundation (which I thought at the time not even exist) and the various brushes , I think it was known that the offending video is worth the wrath of those who tried the tutorial on brushes in photoshop. What is mineral powder funds inspired me a lot, having a very special leather. Sensitive as sandpaper, allergic to anything, and tolerant to any crap decides to put me in the face or eyes, I find that beautiful skin type a bit 'dry and a bit' grassa, possibilmente contemporaneamente (ora che la sto curando un po’ meglio, anche la situazione è molto migliorata), però i fondi liquidi mi han sempre dato problemi di antiestetiche pellicine attorno a naso e bocca e zone lucide sopra il naso e sotto gli occhi. Quindi… via al minerale, economico ovviamente. Per provare ho seguito il consiglio del video, prendere quello della Wet‘n Wild. Mi pareva strano, ma 4 euro ce li potevo buttare… Resta a tutt’oggi uno dei miei preferiti in assoluto. Problema.. come lo metto? Risposta (ahimè): andiamo da Kiko . Kiko fa molte cose buone, ma con i pennelli… proprio ha fatto un fiasco colossale.

Presa dall’ebrezza del “facciamo le cose fiche, usiamo i pennelli” nel giro di 6 mesi circa mi son presa lo stretto indispensabile. (lo so che i pennelli nelle foto sono luridi, li ho usati da poco e non ho avuto il tempo di lavarli, ma almeno si vede che li uso e che parlo per esperienza e non a vanvera)

  

-           Face 102 (15,90 Euro): pennellone grande, appiattito, nella mia estrema ignoranza l’ho usato come fosse un kabuki. Onestamente il suo dovere in setting up the fund mineral did. It 'was my first brush face absolute and without knowledge of any kind, I am not ever complain. Until you've tried other things.

- Face 103 (11.90 euros): blush brush, I often used instead of the previous even for the mineral fund, because I was better being smaller.

conclusions?

Form: good, but the cutting plate 102 makes it uncomfortable for the face, too wide, the better the classics Pennellone round.

Bill: good, have not ever lost a hair, in spite of frequent cleaning, the bristles are black, but never lost their color. Handles comfortable, well finished, with their plastic protection.

and end benefits.

bristles are tough, hard, passing them on the face dan very annoying. As if they were dry and stringy. Not to mention the times that pass near or below the eyes ...

E for 16 and 12 euro? Joke ... just too expensive for the quality of that show, especially those across the street to Sephora, a price that we are there there, but the quality is undoubtedly millemila alloys.

- Eye Crease Brush (I think is no longer, is black, and must be the brother of the Paleolithic of the 200 white). Well, I do not complain, I paid € 3 discount outlet. The white brother now costs 9.90 Euro. A ciofeche unclean. Good workmanship, we lose hair, does not lose color. The bristles are hard as the wire ... and break. They leave their long pieces about 5 mm on the face in spite of the best I could have kept ... Ok, not true not even 3 Euro ... I gave him is also very large and use the eye (even if it was not painful because of the hardness of the bristles) is difficult. I lay the foundation for recycled mineral or mineral concealer under the eye (with caution, it hurts a lot ...), because it is much easier to form the shape of my face. Vote? Mhe .. € 3 for we are, more, do not talk.

- Eyes 204 (Precision Eye Brush, 9.90 Euro): the brush diagonal flat. My love of the brush! Gorgeous, really. I really like this. Good workmanship, smooth and soft bristles, stiff enough to use it to make lines of any kind, not soft enough to be unpleasant. I use it dry, wet, powder, mousse, cream eye shadows, with the cream of the aqua mufe for powder eyebrow and products in cream for the eyebrows ... excellent results, very accurate and handy. He deserves all the money we have given, maybe even a little more. The full range Kiko is the top (and also one of two that unless ...)

- Eyes 203 (flat brush face and eyes 9.90 euro). 'S the classic flat brush bristles Conle orange from the bottom in cream or liquid concealer ... With long nails apply concealer is a tragedy, and if you realize it only after you have made of stilettos long as the claws of Wolverine ... it is a problem. What to do? Like a good Genoese Sephora is expensive and is Kiko. The MAC is out of reach ... well ... not comment on whether those are hard on the eyes, imagine that. It is not used well with the correction, too hard, are the marks of the brush ... no no no.

- Lip Brush (not find it anymore on the site, then this should also be a historical artifact.) Same bristles 204, good, does his duty. The retractable or not fitted cap is a flaw, but I see that now it is, then let him to prehistoric times.

Last Kiko brush I own, which I'll discuss more after comparing it with others of the same type, is the famous duo-fiber that has crazed all. And with good reason.

- Face 106 (brush round for foundation, 12.90 Euro): the black bristles have the same defect of black bristles of former, hard and scratchy, but for the conformation of the brush bristles and the best quality of light, the brush is entirely his work just fine , extends well be produced in compact cream is excellent with mousse mousse like the Soft Touch of Essence (a few euro, the better result). And 'the particular form of the type of brush that makes it great for this kind of work ... I have tried other duo fiber, much better than this, and even cheaper, but overall this is not bad, especially thinking of the MAC costs Euro 50, and Sephora does not, leaving the only readily available without buying online.

The result is that Kiko brushes are too expensive and quality is too low to be competitive with those Sephora, which are the same price (slightly more expensive) but aesthetically more beautiful, more soft, special forms to allow for more precise work. The reason why I have a few brushes Sephora is essentially one: the ELF Studio. I tried Sephora:

- Smudge Shadow estompeur 206 (I have two, one of which is devoted exclusively to black, excessive use of which I am) because I did not find brushes at the shape of this brush to apply and blend the color well below the eye and near the waterline. It 'great for dark colors and minimize the dust falls on her face, that when you put your black and you want a very intense, I'm a drama. Precise, beautiful, well made, soft bristles, it does not lose color hair, is like new after countless washings. Rated 10 + + + despite its low price does not, on the € 15.12 I think. But that is all there.

- 46, concealer, anti cernes. I had to replace that of Kiko, since my ability to nail Edward Scissorhands-style continues. And on this, nothing to say. Soft, well done, apply the product very well without being annoying. Price around 12 euro too. Excellent ... excellent

I said ELF before? These brushes are wonderful .... And as I thought good to 2011 get across the line by the end of the study.

start by saying that the ELF is cheap, but so much. It has two lines of brushes, are those of the baseline with the white handle, bristle color ... uh, mole?

Advantages: they are very cheap, costing 1.70 EUR all (very little). They have many different forms of quality brushes for multiple uses.

Disadvantages: can be bought only online. They lose a few hairs, but nothing drastic, cutting is not accurate to the millimeter

discrete Son, do their work so good, fairly soft (compared to kiko are soft as a feather). For the price they are great!

Studio Line: They are all blacks, bristles and handle. They cost a bit 'more, € 4 each (still a very low price). There are special forms (including a duo fiber ... from 4 Euro !!!). are soft! Brushes are wonderful.

First note on: Two of the brushes in this line, are not found in other economic lines:

- Stipple brush (the duo fiber). Soft, soft, well done, apply the product which is a creamy delight without leaving marks. If you count that other brushes of this type are found only in very non-economic lines (the MAC 187, the Sigma ... F15) this brush is a godsend to have in our kit cheaply just like this particular product. I do not have the Sigma, but as value for money is unbeatable among Kiko, MAC and ELF.

- Powder Brush (the one with the flat cut). Too soft, has a shape that is comfortable for mineral foundation, much better than the traditional kabuki. Again, this is a 4 Euro head and shoulders above most of the brush around. He bristles dense, lets you put the dust spread out carefully. Excellent and especially too.

Other Elf Studio that I have are the "C" brush, brush the countour, the small smudge brush el'angled contour brush. All 4-Euro, very soft, lint, do not break the bristles are made well and forms a little 'details that are not exactly easy to find in stores Italian citizens. Passed with flying colors, they are my favorite.

last arrivals are a travel set of MAC . I did not brush for liquid foundation and the temptation was too great to have a 187. I know that issues of travel MAC not have anything to do with the regular series, but worth a test, especially considering the price. I wanted to throw myself on the set of The Tartan with the 187SE, but the rest of the set of brushes I did not need, so I opted for the set "adoring Carmine, face brush set," I would not say bullshit, but I think it goes back to Christmas 2008. The complete set includes 4 brushes and two red bags. Paid less than all 30 Euro.

-           168SE

-           190SE

-           194SE

 187SE  

I can not make comparisons with those in the regular edition, I'm sure they are of inferior quality, have also seen their cost significantly less. The quality is still very high, and their particular color I really like a lot.
The 194SE is largely one level than the other two brushes for concealer in my possession (Kiko and Sephora).
The only comparison I can make is between the three duo fiber in my possession: MAC 187SE, KIKO and ELF. MAC and ELF are similar to the result of drafting, good for both. What is MAC with a short neck, long one of the ELF. The fiber density is similar between MAC and ELF, slightly thinner than Kiko. The black bristles of Kiko are bad, the black of the MAC and the ELF softest. Kiko and the MAC have shorter black bristles ELF, which it presents a smaller difference between white and black. The ELF to the touch, while soft as the MAC, I do not know how to explain but you feel it is nylon ... Unlike the MAC, I do not know what kind of bristles are, but they are more "hot" to touch.
Without taking into account the cost:

1.MAC - 2.ELF (almost a dead heat) - 3.KIKO (very far from the first two)
If you take into account the cost, resta l’ELF sopra tutti.

Ho sentito parlare molto bene dei pennelli di Zoeva , che proverò sicuramente non appena possibile, anche questi però sono reperibili solo online.
I Fraulein 38 non li proverò mai. Ho avuto pessime esperienze con il materiale da ricostruzione per le unghie (nulla di complicato, pure le decorazioni per la nail art come glitterini e brillantini fanno schifo), quindi non credo che i avventurerò mai nel comprare nulla da loro.
Sogno di notte il Kabuki nero della Make Up Forever , ma i suoi quasi 40 euro di prezzo lo rendono una spesa folle che non farò mai...


Ultima parolina vorrei spenderla per una mia personale fixation: the brush, powder / blush / did not understand the ESSENCE . Cost 3 euros and something (I 3.60) are the short handle, and are very soft ... really a delusion. They are so soft that maybe I am too, powder and blush. But they are adorable. I use them for HD MUFE powder (or the poor sister of Kiko, the invisible powder, which is in fact a copy successful even if it has the same durability of the HD), and seems made ... Costan very little and are great! If you happen to give it a chance!

Low Carb Diet Pleurisy

Hello!

Because of blogs that discuss the make up, creams, creams, and other expenses, net there are not enough, I decided to join me also to the group.
The reason why I even decided to speak my mind is fundamentally simple and similar to that of the others: for some things I think just like all the (UD primer potion? Has there ever been a review from the pack?) for others are decidedly a white Moschino (or rather a black sheep).
I want it all for less money (and this far ...), I'm lazy so I appreciate the convenience (which is not easy to find in this world), what many conisderano trick night for me is the bare minimum to mid-afternoon I like dark colors (say black in all its shape), but if I decide to go on the colors I do not stop almost never the soft pastel ...
But oh well, aside from personal opinions on the matter, are still a fierce consumer of a city not exactly well-stocked (Genova).
Favorite brands? MAC Make Up Forever and a lifetime of course, but the pennies will not let me, so often fall back on the healthy low cost, that sometimes by immense satisfaction, but that is an area fraught with obstacles and cons to cross. Many things that I have made the simplest daily routine I have learned from other girls on the net, or after having trawled good feedback, so I think it right to share this also my findings (grade: good, we all arrived a year ago) maybe ogni tanto trovo anche io qualcosa di utile.
Più che altro questo ultimo mese mi sono un pò sbizzarrita con lo shopping, ho preso molte cose Elf, Essence, qualcosa di Kiko e di Lush (che non sono propriamente le mie marche preferite, ma ogni tanto fanno il botto), Sugarpill, UD e (ovviamente) MAC. Insomma il classico standard, più qualche cosetta. Devo ammettere che alcuni prodotti mi hanno davvero dato più soddisfazione del previsto e delusioni ne ho trovate davvero poche.
Ho inoltre cambiato finalmente tutti i pennelli scadenti che avevo con nuove soluzioni che mi hanno lasciato decisamente soddisfatta (sono molto menosa sui pennelli, li voglio come piacciono a me o non queto, e sono convinta che fanno metà del lavoro se suitable bay view).
write some of my impressions, you never know there was someone out there who are interested in, so if you do not chicken out and change the page.
Pending the collection of Black & White Essence (black black black black!) In Genoa which obviously we have not seen even with binoculars, sproloquierò a little of that which I have already put up her hands.
