FERRO COSMETICS

Today I tried a little bit of mineral cosmetics by Ferro Cosmetics. I have used mineral foundations before, so I am aware of using these and how this kind of foundations work. First impression of using mineral powders may be powdery and dry, but in few minutes it become to melt with you natural oils and match with your skin. Of course you need to moisturize your skin before you use any foundation (powder or liquid).
So, into the Ferro Cosmetics then. It is cosmetic company with very nice and professional customer service that offers 100% pure and non-toxic mineral makeup. You can watch about their minerals and meet lovely owner of the company here.

I had opportunity to use their Ultimate Foundation in Honey Creme.

It has very ingeniously made cap, that teaches you how to apply your mineral foundation. Perfect for lady, who is new in the world of mineral foundation. And I think you can use it even if you have loss of memory or amnesia :)


What it promises to do? It should cover my blemishes, soothe my skin and is especially perfect for ladies who has acne, redness, rosacea, blemishes since it has anti-inflammatory ingredients in it. And results?

First after just applied foundation it felt a little powdery. But that is not the point. I am telling you, I have very dark circles under my eye and even round my eye, but just foundation covers it perfectly! I didn`t apply nothing else, really.

After applying rest of my makeup it conflated my skin`s natural oils and left my skin very smooth and flawless. How perfect is that!? :)

I also tried Matte Mineral Veil in Nude Rose and Mineral Bronzer in Glow Baby, Glow.



I applied veil lightly on my nose, cheeks, chin and forehead to create healthy and vital look. Bronzer is used under my chin and I swept "C" onto skin from upper brow to cheekbone.



Now I want to introduce you two brushes by Ferro. These are very soft and easy to apply to. My skin just loves these touching it.
First is Flat-Top Brush. It is big soft brush that applies foundation very perfectly, to say nothing from blush, bronzer, vail. It has also very cute pink handle. Total must-have when considering any makeup application. It is handmade and cruelty-free.

It also promises not do clog pores. We`ll see that in future.


Second is Concealer Brush. I just can`t describe how smooth and good it is doing its job. Although this brush feels slippery when touching it, all your concealer or foundation is going onto your skin, not falling down, when you use this.


To sum up my review, I really suggest you to watch more about these products by watching videos made by Krissy Ferro, owner of the Ferro Cosmetics in here. She talks and teaches you so well, how to apply mineral makeup.

I personally am very into this makeup line, because I really appreciate qualitative makeup, that really does its job with reasonable price.

Have a great makeup experience!

WHAT IS IT WITH THE WONDERBAR THEN?


I have received some questions about my results and experience with the Wonderbar I kindly introduced you here. If you still don`t know - The Wonderbar is an all in one beauty bar meant to cleanse, tone and exfoliate.


So, I have washed my face with it every night after removing my makeup. As I have said, its foam feels very smooth and delicate on skin. Even though I didn`t had any hard skin conditions it promises to fight with (hence I can`t show you dramatic results), it cleaned my skin so well, that I really distinguished my makeup is going on better and foundation matches my skin considerably good.
The other beneficial result I noticed is that my t-zone isn`t so oily anymore, my skin feels much more balanced.
I definitely recommend you this bar, ladies! It is good investment, because you simply can do all you skin needs with only that little thing: you can save time and money, because there is no need for use toners, exfoliators in daily basis. Just apply your moisturizer after you washed your face.
I have thought lately that maybe it should be simple as that routine, maybe we are over caring our skin and this in turn comes out with break outs and etc.

When considering bar itself, it isn`t like hard piece of usual soap. It is little bit melting when you lather it between your hands- perfectly moistening.

I am really into this product. It really feels like wonder to me.

25 mg of Wonderbar $ 40
80 mg of Wonderbar $ 105


I suggest you first to try out samples of Wonderbar, you can purchase with quite good price.
Check out samples here.

NAKED DESSERTS


Yes, you heard me, ladies! You should reward yourselves and have a little (or huge) bath experience. The problem is, that good bath products are fairly expensive. I am not undervaluing LUSH as a good company selling bath products, but I personally are definitely gone to the other side of handmade bath products- to the land of Naked Desserts. I really, really thing that we all have been unfair to this little brand, because these products are phenomenal. They have wonderful customer care and really cute packages- and it is all handmade!

Now I am introducing my new friends in my bathroom.

Land of soaps:


This sweetie is called Bee-Have soap and the name is not false at all, it is a must-have. This smells like honey, caramel and toffee. For me it is more like good cup of tea with a lot of honey. Or a scent of the hot summer in grandparent`s farm, sitting in the yard under the apple trees, next to the beehives and listening buzz of the bees. They say that it is made with real orange blossom honey from their local beekeeper. Look at that little cute bee on to the soap :)



This is Cucumber Melon Natural Loofah soap. Containing natural loofah, it is perfect to exfoliating the skin. This like a big slice of cucumber has the scent of cucumber mixed with melon, but to me it reminds even watermelon. Such a fresh and cool combination! It handled well my combined skin when I washed my face with it.


Land of massage bars:


This cutie is Rub Me, Honey and its fragrance is a duplicate of LUSH's Honey, I Washed The Kids. For me it reminds a light scent of honey, more like coconut and jojoba. By its content it is moisturizing and leaves your skin very moistened and soft. It contains cocoa butter, so I don`t wonder.

This is Double Shift massage bar. It is special by its controversial mixture: vanilla and peppermint. So, it gives you very miraculous experience. It also promises to help soothe your senses while loosening knots and sore muscle. Berries `n` Cream makes you feel very special (of course you are) with its foam a la yogurt. Ripe red berries mixed with smooth and velvety cream makes this bar so moistening and heavenly good to your skin. Therefore the scent is like berries in cream yogurt, just so my favorite.

Land of the bath bombs:

Pina Colada is made with real coconut and sweet pineapple and it really is with the scent of tropics. Or like you are in the shaker with coconuts and pineapple (or banana?). For my bad, I don`t have bath tube in my current home, so I am itching to go my mother`s place and have myself a tropical adventure with this flavorful bomb. I`ll let you know!

The land of bubble bars:

This is like a little sweet cake and called Pink Lemonade. It smells like a lemonade, every little girls wants to drink: crisp, refreshing and with juicy, ripe red berries. I have a little desire to eat it right now!

If you haven`t heard from Naked Desserts before, visit their web page.

Have a wonderful quality time at the bathroom!

HAVE YOU CLEANED UP ALREADY?



When considering food, we all call attention to validity period, when it is fresh and when it is not. Are you aware that you should pay attention in the same way to your makeup? You should throw away everything that is old or smelling differently from its original scent. Here is a little helping slip with approximate times that is mentioned by makeup guru Bobbi Brown.

Liquid and cream foundation: 2 years
Concealer and covering cream: 2 years
Powder: 2 years
Mascara: 6 months
Lipstick: 12 up to 18 months
Eyeliner pencil: 12 up to 18 months
Eye shadows: 2 years
Cream blush: 2 years
Moisturizing cream: 2 years
Eye cream: 6 months





It is sure that we don`t remember or know really when we purchased product and just in case throwing away makeup is silly and total wasting of money. Just keep in mind to observe what you are putting in your face and in what condition this product is. What smell do you feel, is the color of the product different etc.

Take care of your skin and body: it is the least you can do.

ALIMA PURE COSMETICS

At Alima Pure™, they make mineral makeup using only the purest cosmetic-grade mineral pigments. There are no additives, fillers or fragrances that can irritate your skin or clog your pores. In fact, the pigments they use are actually beneficial to your skin, offering sun protection and anti-inflammatory properties. As I like more and more the idea of natural products on my skin, I couldn`t resist to try out this line.

This is Satin Matte Foundation in Beige 3

Normally I`m concerned when I use powder foundation, because I don`t like that powdery look on my skin, but as you can see, it leaves skin very natural and untouched by powder. It is even highlighting my skin a little bit. Very clean and desired look.


Meet my new friend Color Balancing Powder in Buttercup


As you can see, it is not going to dry your skin, because it looks little wet by its consistency. It doesn`t left your face white either, very good product to hide dark circles and blemish.

Luminous Shimmer Blush
in Freja


This is brand new tone of the wide range of colors. See how luminous it stays on skin.

Luminous Shimmer Eyeshadows

This is called Glow. My secret is that I don`t use it on my eyes, I use it like higlighter on my cheekbones to create glow on my face. So happy with this product and my way to use it.



This sweetie is London and it is a fairy green tone. As I`m lately got into green shades on my eyes, I just love it.

Nymph lilaceous creamy color to gussy up your eyes. Reminds something like pink mixture of plum.

Luminous Shimmer Eyeliner
would be the last item in my ode to Alima Pure


This is great creamy alternative to wear pencil eyeliner, it goes on so easy with eyeliner brush and leaves very glamorous result with its rich warm brown tone. It is called very funny and interesting- Paparazzi. When I run out of this, I`m going to get this again.

What do you think of these natural goodies?

WONDERBAR

I got this Wonderbar to try out. I can`t tell nothing except first impression, because I used it for the first time today. The smell of this bar is none, but this fact is good. Maybe you need a soap that is fragrance free and gentle to tour skin. It should firm my skin, tighten my facial pores, give me natural glow, balance my skin etc.

It looks simple and cute.

I should also mention that it promises to work well with acne, psoriasis and pimples.
After I washed my face with it, it felt good, pure, cleaned, but not unpleasantly dry that usually soaps do with face. So, I have definitelY good feeling about this bar.

Suggest you to read about benefits of this soap yourself in here, because there is so many of them.

Stay tuned to find out if this bar worked for me!

LUMIERE COSMETICS MINERAL MAKEUP

I was lucky enough to recieve some samples from Lumiere Cosmetics. I used some mineral makeup from Lumiere previously when I showed you my simple look on my blog.

Here I show you how does this makeup looks.

Foundations are really good. They cover unperfections even better than liquid foundation could do. I especially love that these stay on really smooth and light, it ise sure that summer is the time you definitely don`t want heavy foundation on your face. Absolutely PERFECT!
My personal favourite are cashmere foundations, because it really stays on like cashmere or silk on your face.







Blushes own the face of foundations, they are smooth and light. Totally must have when you want to achieve natural makeup.


And my favorite part of this review: eyeshadows! It is really easy to pick up pigments on Lumiere Cosmetics page, because they have changed it so cool- pick your favorite color and you can see all these shades considering your color. Find out here.





I can`t leave without mentioning how pigmented these are. I am sure you can see it yourself. There is sooooo wide collection of these wonderful colors, so you must check these out. Probably going to create some look tomorrow morning and going to take some pictures to show you, girls.
