Smashbox - Photo Finish Foundation Primer


Smashbox Cosmetics is a brand that I really like, the quality of their products it's amazing, I received a sample of their Photo Finish Foundation Primer and it was love at first sight !

This is what I experienced:
After washing my face, before putting any makeup on, I applied a small amount of the primer all around my face (a small amount goes a long way) , the texture is so light and soft, it makes your skin feel like satin-smooth!

It felt a little bit greasy at the beginning but it disappear after a couple of minutes, leaving your face fresh ready for makeup !

The primer lets your foundation go much more smoother on your face and lasts all day ! isn't that amazing?! All your makeup and blush stay put and you don't need to be retouching it several times a day !

The main before/after difference is that my makeup lasts all day long and the primer makes my skin and foundation look amazing !

L'Oreal - True Match Super Blendable Crayon Concealer


I really like L'Oreal ! they offer a great variety of products, especially with makeup I can see what's new and what works for my face, I personally think that it's a brand that lets you try new things because they offer products at a good price ! they are not so low-priced but they aren't super expensive either like other brands, so I think it's a good price for the great quality they offer!

I been using the L'Oreal - True Match Super Blendable Crayon Concealer for a few weeks now and I really really like it!

This is what I experienced:
It comes in 6 different shades, I have the W123, blemishes are a BIG concern for me so I was amazed to discover that this crayon blends so smoothly in my skin and covers really well the small red areas, the texture is very soft!  I didn't expected that at all because it comes in the form of a crayon but I was pleasantly surprised !
I use the sides of the crayon to cover the dark circles under my eyes so it's good to know that 1 product can do different things !  and it lasts all day !

The main before/after difference is that I can cover all my imperfections with one product ! I will definitely buy it again and again !

StriVectin - Get Even Brightening Serum


Hello March!

Today I'm going to talk about the StriVectin-EV Get Even Brightening Serum, I like this brand very much, they focus on  antiaging skin treatments and skincare products.
I believe that taking good care of your skin is the most important part of feeling and looking beautiful, it even allows the makeup to look better and you feel more confident.
I got this sample from an online promotion they did a while ago!

This is what I experienced:
I use it at night after cleaning my face, it's a lightweight cream that absorbs very quickly on my skin, I have sensitive skin and prone to break outs but I was happily surprised to see that the product didn't cause any!
After a few days I noticed that it did lighten my skin and it felt really soft!  I even started to apply less foundation !

The main before/after difference is that my skin feels softer, brighter and my pores look smaller.

Have a great weekend everyone!
