All I need on a daily basis is a good mascara, some eyebrow product, some foundation and a blush. Sometimes I put on an eye liner and that is about it when it comes to makeup. I’m always wearing the “no makeup” makeup look.

It is very important for me to have a good mascara that is easy to apply and will not smudge during the day. I currently use Maybelline Lash Sensational Lash Multiplying lengthening mascara for fuller lashes, in black. It extends the lashes very nicely, curls them and gives them volume.

Although it’s quite wet at first, it doesn’t give that spider effect to the eyelashes and you can still work with it. It has a rubber brush with ten layers of hair, the brush is curled so it can easily reach every eyelash. It separates the eyelashes nicely and the brush is the ideal size for applying mascara to both the upper and lower lashes.

During these winter months, I am always reaching for gentle and nourishing products, both on my face and body. So this time I decided to try out whether aluminum-free deodorant really works and whether thermal water can improve skin condition.

For ease of use, I prefer spray deodorants so this time I chose La Roche-Posay Physiological spray deodorant. It is designed for sensitive skin and it contains no aluminum, alcohol or parabens.

Instead of aluminum, this deodorant is enriched with magnesium oxide, which has four times the absorption power and is highly effective in neutralizing odors.

You must have noticed that in the last few months, I have talked more about preparative cosmetics than decorative cosmetics. Makeup is my first love and the reason why I started this blog at all, but over time I realized that skin care was equally important. I will do my best to keep an equal ratio of makeup and skincare on the blog in the future. Today’s post is all about Artdeco foundation and compact powder.

We all love a good foundation, don’t we? How to choose a proper liquid foundation at all? When choosing a foundation, pay attention to details such as texture, coverage, skin type and choose the right product accordingly. It’s not a bad idea to look for a review or video to see what that foundation looks like, and even better if the person reviewing the product has the same skin type as you. You can apply the same principle when choosing a foundation or powder shade.

Today I’m talking about two Artdeco products – a liquid foundation and a compact powder. Artdeco Perfect Teint Foundation in the shade 12 Soft Vanilla is a liquid oil-free foundation that has medium to high coverage. I’m very pale, especially in the winter, and this neutral shade is perfect for my skin tone. It covers the redness really well and evens out the complexion. It has a very liquid and dry texture and dries very quickly on the skin. The powder should be blended very quickly after application to the face as it dries very quickly and can no longer be handled when dried.

Recently, I’m more into natural cosmetics and two brands have particularly caught my attention. These are Lavera and Apivita brands, and you can read about their products today. Since natural cosmetics can sometimes be of higher price range, I chose products that are very affordable and accessible.

-Lavera Purifying Facial Toner-

Lavera tonic with ginkgo and organic grapes is made for combination and oily skin, I use it after cleansing my face and this is a step I do not skip. Excellent tonic that refreshes the skin and restores moisture. It shrinks the pores a bit and it makes a very good base for applying other skin care products. It contains alcohol from certified organic agriculture but does not burn the skin.

For the last few weeks I have had the opportunity to try out World of Beauty products. It’s a cosmeceutical brand with natural and organic skincare whose products are used by beauty salons and spas around the world. I got to try the micellar water, face cream and the face serum, you can find out below how I liked these products.

As a first step in my cleansing routine, I use the Reviva Micellar Water to remove all of the makeup and impurities from my face. This micellar water is made of organic micelles, ionizing water and tiny molecules of oil combined with Australian aloe extract. This combination of ingredients attracts all of the impurities from the face and removes it without drying out the skin.

This micellar water is intended for people who have normal to oily skin and it is also suitable for people who have sensitive skin. It easily removes all makeup from the skin, even mascara and long lasting foundation. It does not burn the eyes and it is very gentle to the skin.
