Hello girls,
I bring you a review of a kit that I bought at reasonably short time at Sephora from Gaia Shopping. A few weeks before buying it, whenever there was, was attracted to this kit for the products they had.
Two of them had ever experienced and the other loved him enough. Let's learn more about the "Tan About Town" from Benefit.
About Town Tan Kit consists of:
. Some Kind-A
Gorgeous mini color Medium
. Hoola mini
. Badgal mini Lash
The Lash Badgal it was my acquaintance, also via a kit from Benefit, the "Her Name Was Glowla" I have also in my collection.
Now a "close up" on products of Tan About Town:
The Some Kind-A Gorgeous in small version is the size of a broker. I mentioned to the clerk of the Sephora likely Medium color would be too dark for my skin in winter, to what she says no, because her color Medium was winter and she was much whiter than me. Half incredulous could actually demonstrate that Medium is a good step for who is white like me but not too bright white.
It has a creamy texture, as in all the bases that I love, and the skin slides off VERY well. It gives a light coverage which for me is enough and hard enough time on the skin.
The Hoola is a very nice matte bronzer in a shade of milk chocolate. I had seen him on the packaging of normal size and always thought it was a little too dark for me.
I was wrong and is a shade too good for any skin type as it gives to build, fair skin can use just a little while brunettes can apply a little more product to define the face.
Do not mind that much scent and it has mini size is ideal for taking in and perhaps necessaire retouch throughout the day.
The Badgal Lash Mascara is a clear mask with a brush and farfalhuda, large and with long bristles. This brush defines lashes well and gives them a pretty good volume.
Despite being in the mask thumbnail version, the brush is equal to the actual size (I compared!). It is a mask with a formula or too runny or too dry, which is good for people with short lashes, because it is easier to control your application and adds volume while stretching.
In short, I would strongly recommend to everyone to buy the kits of Benefit in order to experience the products in miniature version. I know now for sure I want to buy the Hoola and Some Kind-A Gorgeous! Maybe if he had not tested before did not feel this need.
For 15,77 € I bought a very nice kit that will last me a long time, which allowed me to learn about new products and get to love them: D

If I were hired to give advice to sellers of fast-fashion stores in the city, the first thing I would do is abolish the blushes they have and replace all these blushes by Papa Do not Peach, from The blush costs 20 $ at Too Faced.
The Papa Do not Peach is a with a hint of peach pink with a soft satin sheen. That glow is hardly strong enough to use it, for example, as enlightening, but enough to
give a 'healthy air to the face.
The pigmentation of Papa Do not Peach is excellent, and the color looks a little like the Orgasm, but a little darker and without the golden glow of the famous Nars .
The best of , blush and peach in general, is what looks good on all skin tones.
The effect of Papa Do not Peach on my skin, which is yellowish white background, it was quite natural. As my grandmother said I was "flushed", hahah.
Another thing I love the The blush costs 20 $ at Too Faced products are the packaging and product names. This, in particular, won me over with a pin up doll and Poas, and play on the song Papa Do not Preach by Madonna.
The blush costs 20 $ at Too Faced's site.

Find a foundation that is exactly what its tone and is suitable for your skin type is not an easy task. The market offers so many choices, it's hard to pick a brand and test products to find which one best fits your needs.
At these times of indecision, I just using a method that is perhaps not the most convenient, but it ends up serving to guide me in the choices: the indication. And that's
how I discovered the Bulles d'Éclat of Bourjois.
The Bulles d'Éclat is a liquid foundation that comes in 12 capsules distributed in packaging that looks like a box of medicines. To open, just cut with scissors or rotate the thinnest part of the capsule until it breaks.
Each of these capsules gives enough product so that you only need to apply for a time, and gives to spread smoothly across the face and neck with a foundation brush or even fingers.
This foundation is oil-free, and another plus is that it has SPF 10. The cover is average, therefore, depending on the degree of dark circles or spots on the face, the use of correction is necessary. She has a mild scent that disappears soon after you apply (this may annoy some people, but for me it was not a problem).
It does not contain a base oil and be thin, the absorption is rapid as well as the drying effect and it is mattifying. The light shines in the formula contained in Bulles d'Eclat give an air illuminated the face, but without making it shiny.
The capsules are super practical, perfect to take along on trips or to always have in a toilet bag. The color I use is a 11-Beige.
I believe this product is discontinued, because I did not find the site to see the Bourjois price.

One day a person stood up in the morning to go to work, preparing the skin, applied makeup, make the trace of eyeliner ... and forgot to plug the product packaging!
If you think I read your thoughts to report the story above, relax, I still do not have that superpower. But the hard truth is that you and I are part of a group that is increasing every day: the heedless.
I was so devastated
when I saw my gel eyeliner dry (I use MAC Fluidline), he was forgotten a bit, as I thought about what to do with it. I even tried using an eyeliner mixed with O Boticário (you can see that the content is still glows with some), but still had trouble moving because it was too dry it.
The idea occurred to me these days to resolve the problem is so stupidly simple that I was angry at not having thought of it before. The solution? Wet brush!
Dip the bristles of the brush, without making them soggy, and pass directly into the product. With the wet brush, the gel will adhere more easily and when you apply the brush in the eyes will slide.
So simple that gives anger! But at least now I can use my gel eyeliner again ...
What do you think about this tip?

I met Clean & Clear in 2007 when I went to the United States of America to exchange and my host sister, who had to face super oily, wash your face with liquid soap that traditional mark of each hour (but that there was enough oil drumstick for frying, poor thing). Then I, curious of what was and still am, I try and LOVED! No wonder that even today still use this product, but recently I discovered
another brand produtinho that left my heart broken: the Morning Energy Facial Cleansing Gel.
Guys, this gel is too good! Besides he is hypoallergenic, it brings the nutritional composition of some microspheres, which dissolve and release vitamins as you go through in the face. The smell is quite citrus, delicious, and it leaves the skin feeling super refreshing, as if the skin had given an even energized. I made my husband and my nephew to use this gel and the two loved it!
In addition to the cleansing gel, moisturizer am also using the line, which follows the same cooling characteristics of the gel. The moisturizer is oil free and contains some illuminating particles that leave the skin looking very healthy. (You spoke in illuminating already won me over. Hahaha!)
Have you ever used? Like it? If you have not used yet, I recommend super!

Before receiving my Eyeko Cream read a lot about him, and could not wait to test soon. Everyone was talking about this cream and and I dying to get their hands on the famous pink jar. But every review I read suggested a way to use other, then had no choice - I tested all. The good this cream is that it lasts much, then gives it to use and abuse.
What does it say about the Eyeko Cream: "It can
be used both as a facial moisturizer, cream and illuminating the eye area, so all this in a product! Furthermore the cream Eyeko combines the vitamins A, C and E, together with reflective particles which give the skin a single radiant glow.
Eyeko Tip: To create the effect of light tan, just like the celebrities, use Eyeko cream instead of its base, stressing especially the eye area and cheeks. "
And my opinion on each of these suggested uses:
Hydrating Facial: It left my skin well hydrated and lisinha, and not a bit oily. Even went into more sensitive areas of my face, the T-zone, and also gave some super, and it absorbs quickly into the skin.
Illuminator: I used both doing the inverted C, apples to the height of the brow, and used under the eyebrows and nose. In the area of C and the nose was beautiful, I look like a rich, haha. Under the brow he did not think much, I still prefer the Touche Éclat to give effect to this mega look.
Cream for the eye area: I do not understand the purpose of using the cream in the eye area would alleviate dark circles, wrinkles, or what. In me it did not work at all, unfortunately. But just had the idea of spending the concealer over it, I will test to see if it works.
As a primer, I passed him, put makeup on top and went to work. He did not hold the grease as normally expected of a primer, but not evil. Can I use as a quick fix, but you can not spend the day running in the sun and wait for the product do a miracle, right, honey?
As a foundation: The same effect of using "as a primer," the difference is not covering the imperfections (freckles) that covers the base. If you do not have acne problem and / or red will not make much difference.
Mixed with the base: By the time I was thinking that was the worst thing I could have done. It seemed like I was literally tugging my face with some gooey mass, but later spread well, got a good aspect. I think it depends on the base you use, but I prefer not to make the attempt again and use each product separately. (Incidentally, the base I used was Clinique Superfit).
These are all I can remember now. And you, how to use? Do you have any suggestion of using this cream?

After consideration of pros and cons of Magix and PhotoFinish of Smashbox. Despite the title, my purpose here is not to elect the best among them, but know if they are usable or not. (In my opinion, okay people? No hurt feeling please.)
Packing
Magix: The plastic tube is super practical and thin, and fits easily in my necessaire makeup.
PhotoFinish: The combination of black glass can even
give an air of glamor, but this glass in my hand is a disgrace. First the lid does not fit right, so whenever I get it slips. And second, as the glass is fat, it needs to be the first to enter the necessaire, because if he did not make it last.
Consistency
Magix: As I said in the exclusive post Magix, he had released an oil-like substance in the first time I used it, and then returned to normal. Traveled and took him, and when I used that oil came out again. (Is he sensitive to altitude? Or to climate variation?) Now everything is normal again.
PhotoFinish: The consistency of the gel PhotoFinish makes me forget the problem of packaging. Note 10!
Effect and Duration
Magix: Just passing to give notice that the skin becomes velvety matificada well, although I did not think he has disguised the lines (yes, I have some. Aw crap!). The pores it really only masks, does not hide completely, but since I'm not very dilated pores, solved my problem. Still have not spent the 10 hours he promises to last into the skin, but I spend the morning before going to work, and at night the skin is still sequinha, only the nose a little oily. And it has SPF 20.
PhotoFinish: Like Magix, you notice the skin velvety matificada soon as PhotoFinish passes, and I thought he disguised the lines better than the Avon. One thing I noticed too is that it gets better base than the Magix, and endured the heat for several hours.
Final Verdict
I liked the two products, the two became dear. I want to test the of the MAC and Nars to see if it works on me, besides the variations of Smashbox. MAGIX'm using more day by day, sometimes only he and the dust, and PhotoFinish use when I go out at night or when I wake up inspired to make a nice make-up early.
And you use a primer? Works well? Tell me!

I use cream, lime, cucumber, chamomile tea and the damned are still there. In addition to the bags under my eyes, I have the terrible bruises too. If he had only one of two things, I think the situation would be a little more insurmountable, because the spots are not as horrendous as well, but when it joins the two problems at once!
Reading many things to work around this small deviation of
nature in my beautiful little face, I found the Hylexin, a product developed especially to reduce dark circles, not just camouflage them, such as lime.
According to scientists, "the dark circles are caused by the oxidation of hemoglobin in the capillary matrix of the area around the eyes."
It is this: imagine that around the eyes have vases, and when they break down they release a bluish-red pigmentation (the blood), which is reflected in our face in the form of the dreaded dark circles. What is Hylexin promises to reduce and stop the blood flow that was released and end the darkening of the region and strengthen the blood vessels to protect new breakouts.
The Hylexin should be applied twice a day (can not exceed 3 applications within 24 hours) in a circular motion around the eyes. Once product is applied, it is common to feel a warming in the region ... but calm, the product is only acting. In some people the result is visible in a few weeks, but the average is that 30 days notice if any softening of dark circles. Sounds good, right?
My impression about the product: I bought Hylexin by e-bay for about $ 50.00 for a tube the size of a lip gloss from Victoria's Secret. In the early days I felt my skin burning when applying, exactly as in the description. I felt a great improvement in the first week, more in scholarships than in spots, but after a while I think my dark circles started to get used to the formula and the product did not do the miraculous effect. Still using, and when I wake up very swollen face and I, I feel that it gives a reduced.
I recommend that you buy? Honestly, no! Not that it's a horrible product, but I find it very expensive for what promises much and does not meet (at least I did not fulfill). I imagine that the market offers more affordable products with similar effects.
