L'Oréal Paris Indefectible Sculpt Range Review

L'Oréal Paris - one of my favorite brands have an exciting new range, which is all about sculpting the face. 

Indefectible Sculpt Base, Contour Palette, Blushes, Color Riche Le Vernis À L'Huile (shade: 224 Rose Ballet, 552 Rubis Folies)

Let's start with Indefectible Sculpt Base, which is especially made for sculpting. It's lighter than a foundation but it still gives a good light to medium coverage. The formula is also very watery and lightweight and it gives a beautiful luminous look to the skin. This product claims that it helps sculpting products adhere better on top of it and it's supposed to be very longlasting. And I have to agree it really does all the things. The only con about the product is that there's only 3 different shades.

The next product is the Indefectible Sculpt Palette, which contains a creamy contour and highlight. It really helps to give your face more dimension and to chisel out those cheekbones (which are like non-existing on my round face). It's also a cream to powder formula so it ensures to look natural but also be longlasting. And all the shades are matte - Great!

For more color on the face there's the Indefectible Sculbt Blushes with 3 different shades in each tin. You can dip you brush in only one color or you can mix them all together. I prefer mixing them, because the highlight shade gives the perfect luminous pop of color.

Lastly L'Oréal also have the new Color Riche Le Vernis À L'Huile. The nailpolish is infused with oil so it's good for your nails and it also makes the nailpolish look so shiny and even. For the most colors you only need one coat but I like to apply two coats so it's more longlasting and it's not chipping. 

All the drugstore products are really affordable and have great quality. You should go and try them! Or have you already tried anything?

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation Review

I'm a huge fan of the Chanel Les Beiges range and the Les Beiges powder is just all kinds of amazing. Like I've mentioned in previous posts I have combination skin a sometimes foundations can make me look too glowy almost sweaty, so I was a bit skeptical at the beginning.         

Even if I have combination skin it's also dehydrated and it can look very dull sometimes. And this foundation really helps to give you that 'glow from within' and doesn't make you look sweaty. The formula is so lightweight and it gives a light to medium coverage, but you also can built it up. You can barely feel it on your skin and it's not sticky at all. If you don't like strong scented foundations this is not for you, but I really enjoy it and the smell doesn't linger on the skin. This foundation is very similar to the Vitalumier Aqua but the consistence is not as runny and watery and the packaging is also better - it comes in a sleek glass bottle and it has a pump. For the application I use a buffing brush, it's so easy to blend it out you could even use your fingers. The longevity is just incredible - it last's all day long even on the oily parts of the face like the nose. I'm using the shade 'N20' and it makes my skin look so smooth and it evens out my skintone (have a lot of redness and acne scars). If you have combination or oily skin I would recommend using a powder on top.

I have to say that I like it more than the Vitalumier Aqua and the shade range is so much better! Did you try it? Do you prefer a luminous or a matte look? I think that you can only get it at the Chanel counter at the moment. 

Maybelline Dream Wonder Nude Review

I’m not a really big fan of Maybelline foundations (but I love the concealers). I didn’t like any foundations from the „Dream-range“ in the past, but now they brought out the „Dream Wonder Nude“. I really like thin bases, because they look like skin and they are not cakey. But I also want good coverage.

Maybelline 'Dream Wonder Nude' (shade: Nr. 20 Cameo)

First, you have to shake it before you use it, because the formula is very liquidy and it’s very pigmented. So you really need just a few drops for a medium coverage, but you can build it up to get full coverage. I really like that you don’t need as much product and it’s really easy to blend. It gives almost like a satin finish – it’s not drying but it’s not oily - and it makes your skin look flawless. The longevity is also really good for a drugstore foundation. 

The thing that I don’t like about it is the applicator, because it’s not very hygienic and not very easy to apply the foundation. The glas bottle is also not very practical for traveling and the shade-range is very small with only 5 different shades. 

It really is a wonder! Will you try it?

What's New At The Drugstore + Reviews

First, I have to apologize for not uploading any blog posts! I've had a very bad cold and the uni started again so I've been really busy. But now I'll post at least five times a week, so don't forget to check out my blog :). 

You know I have to try every new product at the drugstore and I'm always on the hunt for highend dupes.

I like to apply this foundation with a buffing brush and you only need a light layer to get a good amount of coverage, but you can build it up to achieve full coverage. It applys very nicely, it doesn’t looks cakey even though it has a matte finish and the longevity is really good. I have combination skin with a few dry patches and it’s a little bit drying after a few hours, so the pores are more visible. Well I think it’s not the right foundation if you have dry skin.

Foto 2: L’oreal Powder Eyeliner Pen (shade: Nr. 102 Brown Smoke)

I've never seen something similar to this powder eyeliner pen. You take the pen out and it litterally springs out. It has a pointed sponge applicator with product on it and if you want more product you have to dip it into the lid. It's also perfect if you’re looking for a smokey eye on the go. Just apply it on the lids and blend it out. It's easy to use but it needs a little bit more blending.

Will you try the products? 

Top 5: Highend Foundations

Personally I like to wear foundation on a daily basis because I feel very uncomfortable with my acne scars and the pigmentation on my skin. So here are my Top 5 witch I use on a daily basis and on evenings.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk (shade: 5)

It's my favorite foundation of all time! This foundation reigns with the amazing semi-matte finish. It turns bad skin days into good ones. It looks glowy, non-sweaty and has a brightening effect on the skin. Medium coverage, incredible lasting power, photographs beautifully because there's no SPF in it- so it's perfect for the evening. 

Dior Star Foundation (shade: 021 Linen)

I’ve already mentioned it here. „As the name „Dior Star Foundation“ says – it really is a star! The coverage is buildable and it’s leaving a light sheen on the skin, which doesn’t make you look greasy even if you have oilyer skin like me (combination skin). It also lasts all day long and you don’t even need to set it with powder. Colour-wise there’s a good range. I have the colour Nr. 021 Linen. Well, the bottle is so luxe! You get what you pay for.“

The liquid formula almost like water. In addition to that it's so lightweight but it gives a light-medium coverage which is build able. It evens out the skin tone but it doesn’t really hide blemishes you need to use a concealer on top of it. You will be super glowing and fresh looking but oily girls will need a little bit powder. 

Clinique Anti-Blemish Solution (shade: 02 fresh ivory) 

This foundation is similar to the Chanel Vitalumière but it’s specifically for blemish prone skin. The lightweight formula is buildable and never looks cakey on the skin. The lasting power isn’t that great but even if it sinks into the skin there won’t appear any blemishes.

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick (shade: 02 sand)

It gives a medium to full coverage with a matte finish. I like to apply it with my fingers because I think it blends better with the warmth. You can also use it as a concealer to hide acne-scars, blemishes and discoloration. The finish is matte but it can look greasy after a few hours so you’ll need a little bit of powder in the T-Zone.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk, 55 €. 

Dior Star Foundation, 44 €.

Chanel Vitalumière Aqua, 40 €.

Clinique Anit-Blemish Solution, 24 €.

Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick, 39 €.

The Stars Of Dior

I always get so excited when I get new makup-up that’s really doing it’s job. So here are my 3 favourites from Dior which are my stars of the brand! 

As the name „Dior Star Foundation“ says – it really is a star! The coverage is buildable and it’s leaving a light sheen on the skin, which doesn’t make you look greasy even if you have oilyer skin like me (combination skin). It also lasts all day long and you don’t even need to set it with powder. Colour-wise there’s a good range. I have the colour Nr. 021 Linen. Well, the bottle is so luxe! You get what you pay for.

I’ve always loved Dior Mascaras but the "Diorshow Iconic Overcurl" in Nr. 090 Catwalk Black is amazing! The shape of the wand is curling, lenghtening and sperating the lashes and you don’t even need to curl your lashes (FYI I have very short lashes). It really lifts the lashes so it suits most people. Most importantly it doesn’t budge at all. 

Now with the colder weather my lips are very dry and I don’t like wearing lipbalm without colour in the daytime. So the Dior „Rouge Dior Baume“ in Nr. 688 Diorette is perfect. It’s so moisturizing and doesn’t feel sticky on the lips. The colour is suttle but it enhances your complexion.

Like I’ve already mentioned I like to use moisturizing products on my lips in the colder moths. So the "Dior Addict Fluid Stick" in Nr. 373 Riesue is a mix of a lipgloss and a lipstick. It last longer that a lipgloss and looks like a lipstick when the gloss fades. And it’s not sticky!!! So it’s also a star from Dior.

Dior Star Foundation in Nr. 021 Linen, $50.

Diorshow Iconic Overcurl in Nr. 090 Catwalk Black, $29.

Rouge Dior Baume in Nr. 688 Diorette, $35.

Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Nr. 373 Rieuse, $35.
