Treatments -Clarins - Beauty Flash Balm
KristinaKr 1/15/2012 5:10:00 AM
I like this product a lot. I use it almost every day in the morning before i put my makeup on. What i like about it is that it gives my skin kind of glow (but in a good way, because I'm generally not a big fan of "glow" since i have an oily t-zone) and makes it look healthy without being greasy. I don't know about the "minimizing the appearance of fine lines" effect, since i don't really have any yet... If you don't expect this product to work wonders on your skin, but just want a good moisturizer for combination skin that would be suitable as a base for your makeup, I think you will be satisfied. Besides it isn't expensive at all and it smells very nice too.

Liquid -Chanel - Mat Lumiere Long Lasting Luminous Matte Fluid Makeup SPF 15 
KristinaKr 1/14/2012 5:18:00 PM
I normally don't use foundations with this heavy and with this much coverage. But since i love Chanel makeup (and their foundations) i got this one when i was having some problems with my skin. I thought a better coverage will help my skin to look better. But it didn't. I guess i can't blame the foundation, that i didn't like the look of it. It's just my personal preference to conceal where needed rather than having a heavy foundation all over the face. So my objective opinion is that this may be a really good foundation for people with combination or oily skin and for those who like (or don't mind) wearing heavier foundations. I will not repurchase, but i will use it up. By the way, in my opinion it looks much better in artificial light than daylight. And I definitely liked it better than MUFE Matte Velvet +

Blush -Chanel - Joues Contraste in Rose Ecrin
KristinaKr 1/14/2012 5:02:00 PM
This is my favorite blush ever! The color, the nice scent, the packaging - everything is perfect! Even the little brush that comes with it is quite nice (normally they are bad quality and i just wish they didn't even put them there, but this one is ok. Of course, i don't use it on a daily basis, but when i travel it is a great option). Be careful when storing this blush sideways, it obviously has rose oil (or some kind of oil) in it and it may come out of the blush, if you leave it standing sideways for a longer time.

Cleansers -Elemis - Tri-Enzyme Facial Wash
KristinaKr 1/14/2012 4:50:00 PM
I love this product. It keeps my skin looking clean and healthy between the facials. I'm not using it every single day, but maybe like every other day or so (mostly in the mornings). And it works brilliantly! I've already repurchased once and will be repurchasing again. By the way, the product lasted a very long time! So that's great too.

Cleansers -MAC - Cleanse Off Oil
KristinaKr 1/14/2012 6:02:00 AM
This product broke me out. It surprises me, cause i've used oils to cleanse my skin before (Chanel and Dior) and never had this kind of reaction... If you are lucky and it doesn't break you out, it might actually be a really good product, because it removes makeup really well and is cheaper than Chanel (which is my favorite) or Dior one.

Liquid -Chanel - Vitalumiere Aqua

I love this foundation. I don't know how this is going to work on my skin in the winter, but for spring and summer I really can't think of anything better for my skin. Unfortunately the colour range (available in Europe) is very small. But I've found a solution by mixing two of their shades together. So it works for me!

Eyeliner -BeneFit Cosmetics - Eye Bright
KristinaKr 8/10/2011 3:58:00 PM
It is not that I don't like this product, but I just think it isn't easy to use. It is pretty noticeable, because the texture is not creamy enough. Even if I blend it with my fingers and warm up the product, you can still see it on the skin. I guess I just prefer something thinner (more liquidy) around the eye area. Especially if I put something over it.

It exfoliates my skin very gentle without irritating it, which is exactly what I need for my sensitive skin. And the smell is absolutely amazing!

Liquid -Lancome - Teint Miracle

Although I like the texture of this foundation (and it smells really nice), I wouldn't buy this again. It's just not what I was expecting. It is great if you have really good skin, it gives the "second skin" feeling and evens out the skin tone, but it covers almost nothing. Even my Laura Mercier Tinted moisturizer covers more.
