Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Concealer (C8)

Hi again!

Here is a concealer swatch for you!

It is a full coverage concealer with a matte finish. It has got a doe foot applicator (that reminds me of Tarte Shape Tape Concealer) which gets way too much product, so it immediately settles into my fine lines if I am not careful enough.

If you apply the tiniest amount and you set it with powder, it will last 4/5 hours without settling into your fine lines. I have got dry under eyes and I find that it slightly accentuates my flaws and it doesn't cover that much, compared to other concealers I own. Hmm, not impressed. Very affordable, though.

Wycon Compact Powder (104 Warm Beige)

 Hi everyone!

Today I have got a powder swatch for you!

Here is a young Italian brand founded in 2009: Wycon!

The powder does what it is supposed to do - it ensures a matt, long-lasting makeup. I mainly use it to set my concealer and to even out my skin tone when I am not wearing foundation.

My shade is 104 - Warm Beige. I thought it could be too dark but it is actually a perfect match.

Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Concealer (02 Nude and 06 Sand)

Hi guys!

Just a quick swatch of one of the best concealers I have used during 2020 - Maybelline Instant Anti-age! Sand 07 is my winter shade and Nude 02 is my summer one.

Please bear in mind I have got very dark under eye circles and I don't have the time to mix an orange one and a lighter one in the morning. Despite using it on its own, I would say it has got a medium coverage. 

If I compare it to MAC Pro longwear concealer, it is not as drying (and not super full coverage as well) but it doesn't last as long.

After 8 hours of wear it doesn't disappear, you can tell you have been wearing it the whole day because it starts fading a bit, nothing major anyway! :) You still have some coverage.

I will definitely keep purchasing it because of its great quality, beacuse it is anti-age and because it is reasonably priced.

Actually, I noticed I prefer using the Maybelline instant anti-age during the week (especially during the winter) because it is less drying than the MAC one. I tend to reach for the MAC pro longwear during the weekend, especially if I am going out - obviously this doesn't apply to these last 9 months of Covid-19 pandemic! 

Hope this helps!

MAC Pro longwear concealer (NC25 and NW25)

Hi there! Long time no see! How have you been? Ready to say goodbye to 2020? I am SO ready to leave this horrible year behind! LOL :-D

I just popped in for a quick swatch, hopefully somebody will find it useful.

If you are somebody struggling with very dark under eye circles, MAC PRO LONGWEAR is the concealer you are looking for. I have used at least 6 bottles of this product and I can't get enough.

It is by far the best concealer I have ever used. You don't need to mix an orange concealer and a lighter one - you just need a swipe of the tiniest amount of pro longwear to get rid of your dark circles for the whole day. I can guarantee that after 10 hours of wear, this concealer won't move at all.

I have dry skin and combination on my T-zone, so this concealer can be a little bit drying during the winter, but I still set it with a little bit of powder because it doesn't really bother me. I guess that is what I have to pay for that huge staying power :)

I am NC25 during the winter and NW25 during the summer. Here are the swatches:

REVIEW Vivi Verde Coop | Labello, detergente, creme

Vivi Verde Coop - Crema Viso Rivitalizzante Protettiva Pelli Mature,
Gel Detergente Rinfrescante,
Balsamo Labbra Idratante Protettivo,
(Intruso: Hydra - Scrub Delicato Viso e Corpo con Microsfere e Miele),
Crema Viso Idratante Protettiva Pelli Normali

Ciao ragazze,
oggi vorrei parlarvi di alcune creme e detergenti naturali che ho già riacquistato più e più volte, quindi sono assolutamente certa della loro qualità.
Sono prodotti che potete trovare in tutte le Coop italiane a prezzi davvero accessibili, in più sono del tutto naturali: l'INCI è completamente verde, non contengono petrolati, siliconi e parabeni.

Gel Detergente Rinfrescante

150 ml

4€

Mi piace molto perché ha un odore delicatissimo, pulisce bene, non secca la pelle e rimuove anche i residui di trucco (il mascara un po' meno). Consigliato! 

Balsamo Labbra Idratante Protettivo

4,8g

2€

Ottimo labello, molto idratante. L'unica cosa che un po' mi lascia perplessa è l'odore non proprio gradevole, non saprei se è un semplice odore di olio o totale assenza di fragranza. Ad ogni modo, il labello naturale meno maleodorante tra tutti quelli che ho provato (Badger e Lavera). Promosso!

Crema Viso Idratante Protettiva Pelli Normali

50 ml

5€

Perfetta per la mia pelle secca e un po' mista sulla fronte, mi ci trovo benissimo. Ne metto poco perché impiega circa 20 secondi ad assorbirsi, ma lascia una bella sensazione di idratazione senza ungere. Ha una consistenza quasi gelatinosa, si assorbe relativamente presto, quindi adatta anche come base trucco. La uso anche prima di stendere la BB Cream della So' Bio Etic, metto un po' di cipria (io uso la Benecos) alla fine e sono tranquilla per le successive 12 ore! :-) Ha un odore molto delicato e piacevole. A me una confezione dura circa 3 mesi. Se ci fosse anche un SPF 10 all'interno, sarebbe la mia crema viso per la vita! :-)

Crema Viso Rivitalizzante Protettiva Pelli Mature

50 ml

5€

Questa crema la utilizza mia madre (over 50) con molta soddisfazione. L'odore è un po' più forte rispetto a quella per pelli normali, mi sembra molto simile all'odore dell'acqua di rose, tutto sommato piacevole. Anche in questo caso, ne basta pochissima per idratare tutto il viso. Mia madre dice di non notare un effetto antirughe, ma le lascia comunque una pelle molto idratata. Promossa!

Spero che questa recensione possa esservi stata utile :-)

Serena Pasqua a tutte! ;-)
