Valentine's Day at Yves Rocher

5

That I like Yves Rocher is nothing you have missed I think? :) Their products appear in posts and make-up a little now and then here in the blog.

I therefore thought I would tell you about their awesome campaign on Valentine's Day - when you shop, you get an optional product at no extra cost! Not the cheapest or that you have to shop for a certain amount to get it, but it is simply the item you put in the shopping cart first and you get to choose from the whole site! :)

The offer is valid from today 13 February - until Sunday 16 February at 24.00.

Do you want tips on what to buy? :) Here are some of my favorites:

Waterproof eye pencil, is available in both black and colorful (and I wish they would make one in white / beige as well). Sits superb all day!

Loose mother of pearl shimmer is also incomparably nice, I have the shades Golden and Crystal and I love both that sparkle a lot!

Glittering eye shadow, for us who love glitter, these shadows are wonderful. There are many glitter shadows that glitter nicely in the packaging, but on the eyelid it becomes dull like any eye shadow. But Yves Rocher has succeeded with his!

Automatic Lip Liner is a great lip pencil that I usually use on the whole lip, sits like a charm! The shade 32 Rouge Foncé is my favorite.

Now I get the urge to put on make-up with the mother-of-pearl shimmer hehe, it will probably be a glittery Valentine's day make-up today, I think! :)

Hugs are!

Ombré

Today I drove on a real ombre look, both eyeliner and lips :)

A simple and stylish make-up, which is still visible and is a bit of the more fun kind!

To create the eyeliner, I mixed nudh mineral eyeshadows Jade and Azul with water, then just paint with a regular eyeliner brush!

I know I look very angry in this picture, but I think the eyeliner is visible so I publish it anyway :)

Foundation for problem skin

2

 Sophia sa…
“Hej! Jag är en 16-årig tjej som till hösten ska börja gymnasiet. Jag har problemhy och haft finnar sen jag gick i fyran ungefär och det är mest på kinderna men även på pannan och hakan. Min hy blir väldigt lätt både torr och oljig och kan även bli smått röd på kinderna.
My friends have been lucky and I am the only one in our group who has pimples. I feel very bad about it and have tested several foundations and am currently using "Fit Me." I was just wondering if you could try to help an insecure girl and find a suitable foundation that does not make my face brown but looks natural but also covers? Love your blog, hugs! ”

OBS! Inlägget är gammalt och produkterna finns inte längre att köpa, jag rekommenderar istället er att besöka något av mina andra inläggt, “Reduce redness on the face“, “Cover scarlet pimple” och “Cover pimples without makeup all over the face”


 

I have received a lot of questions about just foundation for acne / problem skin lately, so I thought I would address this in a post :)

Acne-prone skin is very sensitive to external influences, all skin care and makeup products we use, how we live, what we eat and so on, make a very big difference. And even though there are thousands of different tricks, we can not always get rid of the pimples, but we can always do our best to cover them.

Det viktiga när man ska täcker över finnar, är ju såklart att inte förvärra tillståndet. Produkter med olja och som täpper till porerna går bort direkt, men eftersom en acnehy är så känslig mot allting så finns det ibland även “bra” ämnen som kan irritera och skapa mer finnar.

Therefore, I recommend makeup with as few additives as possible, then there are fewer things that the skin could react to!

Mineral makeup is one such product that often contains few substances. But sometimes they also have a sky-long table of contents with various additives, so always check the table of contents first. Nudh mineral is, however, mineral makeup that is completely without additives - basically mashed mineral stones! :) (Except for the mascara and lip gloss which have creamy textures.)

Mineral stones that nudh mineral is made of.

What is also good about mineral makeup in powder form is that it absorbs moisture, and we with pimples are also often very oily in the skin (even though we can be dry at the same time) and a powder foundation stays matte longer. And yet the dry areas are not emphasized, I often think that you see dry skin flakes more with a liquid foundation.

In addition, mineral makeup is very light on the skin, it does not disturb, does not clog pores or trouble in any other way - while still providing good coverage! You can often add a little extra to your problem areas even without the make-up looking uneven.

The sum of the cardamom is simply that it is thanks to all these points that I like nudh minerals mineral makeup so much, the dry products are heeelt without additives, it covers well (you get the best coverage by supplementing with their concealers) and gives a natural result with a lot of luster!

Nudh mineral is on Creativemakeup.se, where you can also buy sample bags to find the perfect shade before buying a whole jar.

NOTE Jag skriver inte detta inlägg utifrån vad jag läst eller hört, utan jag talar av erfarenhet. Jag hade mycket finnar i tonåren (riktigt stora blemmor till och med där i början) och jag har lärt mig av både misstag och genom att testa mig fram och ser vad som funkar. Ibland förstår man inte varför en produkt inte fungerar bra ihop med huden “den ska ju vara bra för personer med acne” men vad huden gillar och inte gillar är ofta individuellt och svårt att veta i förväg, man får testa sig fram och genom att kolla mängden ingredienser på innehållsförteckningen så lyckades jag ofta hitta passande produkter för just mig.

Hope I have helped more who are wondering about this! I take the opportunity to paste two reviews I have received on nudh minerals foundation, which proves that it is good for sensitive skin (which then also applies to acne as I explained in the post)

Blue lipstick

1

I think (and understand) that many people find it strange that The lipstick palette with 66 different shades available on iMys.se, has as many as five blue colors.

Blue lips are starting to get a bit trendy, but what's good about the palette is how easy it is to mix the shades to get the one you think is perfect - and there you also have use for the blue shades!

By mixing in a little, a little blue in another color, you get a cooler tone :)

A little difficult to capture in the picture, but on the last lip color you can see the difference very well in any case!

It is a palette with 66 lipsticks, but because it is so easy to mix, you can get several hundred different shades, very smart! :)

Offers two nice reviews I received in the shop as well:
