Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer

Hi,

I've been trying out a new concealer lately: the Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer. I've heard lots of the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation before, but nothing of this concealer. I still wanted to try it out, because the 'healthy' part of its name draw me to this product. And lets be honest: there aren't many other drugstore concealers you can buy in a regular drugstore here in Belgium...

First of all I'm going to discuss the colour of this concealer. I bought the colour '51 light radiance' and it's perfect! My skin is very yellow toned and since almost all foundations, concealers and powders have a pink undertone, it's very hard for me to find the right colour to match my skin. And lets be honest: if you're going to conceal a pimple, you shouldn't do it with a pink toned product, because it wouldn't make much of a difference. This concealer is very yellow toned, so just for that, I would already recommend it to you.

When you apply it, it does feel refreshing. But I wouldn't say it covers my dark circles completely up. .. And I also have the feeling it doesn't last the whole day long on my skin.

It isn't the best concealer out there, I'm sure of that... But I'm still going to keep using it for the simple reason that I can't find anything better here in Belgium.

Yves Rocher Volumizing Shampoo

Hi,

Today I'm going to review this Volumizing Shampoo of Yves Rocher. My hair has pretty much no volume in it, so I could really use a shampoo like this one. But I mostly bought it because it's paraben and colorant free, which we all know is a lot better for your hair!

The product itself is translucent. I don't really like its fragrance, but it isn't too bad either.

This shampoo cleans my hair perfectly and makes it feel very fresh and soft. But I wouldn't say it helped much with my no-volume-problem.

I'm still going to use this shampoo, because it's silicone free and there aren't many good silicone free shampoos on the market. But I might search for a better volumizing shampoo. Any recommendations are welcome in the comments below. ;)

I Love... Scrubs

Hi,

I already reviewed lots of products of the 'I Love...' brand, because I really like their content. But today I have something disappointing to share with you... I tried out the I Love... scrubs in the scents 'Raspberry & Blackberry' and 'Mango & Papaya', but I didn't like them. The consistency is very soap-like, but it doesn't foam like soap does which makes it a confusing product. I also have the feeling that there aren't as many beats in this scrub as in most scrubs, so it doesn't do much.

So no, I don't recommend these scrubs...

Veet Easy Wax Electrical Roll-on Refill for Sensitive Skin

Hi, 

Maybe you read my post about Veet Wax where I explain my complete exprience with Veet's wax, than you know I wax my legs regularly with the electrical roll-on. But lately my skin can't handle the refill for normal skin anymore. Just like with my eyes, the skin on my legs became more sensitive this year. After waxing, my legs always had lots of little red bumps. 

So I decided to try Veet's other refill for sensitive skin. It doesn't smell and look as nice as the normal pink one, but that's something I can live with. ;) 

I do recommend it for people with a sensitive skin like myself. I still get red bumps after waxing my legs, but these red bumps are gone the next day which wasn't the case before. 

I actually don't have to add much more to that. It does it's job great to wax your legs and it doesn't hurt your sensitive skin.

Hema Cream for Hands, Face and Body

Hi,

In Hema I got this multiple use cream. I mostly got drawn to it by its cute packaging, but these kind of creams come in pretty handy too. You can use it on your hands, face and body. So I think it's a bit comparable to the popular Nivea cream that we all need to have at home, but it's always fun to try something new out!



It has a lighter and fresher consistency than the Nivea Cream. I have the feeling it's also less moisturizing than the Nivea Cream, but I still like it because it does make my skin feel soft and healthy. And it also smells very nice, which is always a plus for me! I think this cream is a better for the summer when your skin is less dry and the Nivea Cream for the winter. Or this cream is better for people who don't suffer with a very dry skin.

I'm not sure if I would repurchase it, but I still like having it around. And I think it comes in handy when you're traveling since it has a multiple use.
