REVLON PHOTOREADY CREAM BLUSH. This wonderful cream blush, is very creamy and glow, creamy and velvet effect. This blush have to coated with the finger tips, on the cheeks. It is very long lasting, all day long. available three shades: peach, coral and pink. My favourite one is the peach, I think so natural, so pretty.The finish is fresh and natural. These blushes are part of spring 2012 collection, so easy to find it. The price is about 13/14 euro. This blush in cream, is ideal for who have a normal to dry skin.
The shades: Flushed ( pink), Pinched ( peach), Coral Reef.
RATING: 8/10


REVLON PHOTOREAD SCULPTING BLUSH PALETTE. Another blush from Revlon, but in powder, ideal for who have a combinated to oily skin. This is a palette with three complementary shade, it create a multidimensional look. It has a photocromatic pigment that reflect the light, and minimize flow. The shades are: pink, neutral, berry, to mix and match. I like in this palette: no contains parabens, oil, perfume. I don't like so much the colors, I prefer the creamy blush colors,and for my opinion is not to much pigmented. The packaging is nice, but not so modern, old style,  with a circle mirror and a useful and soft brush. Do you tried this product? What do you think??? Leave a comment, bye bye Bruna.
RATING: 6/10





 

JUST BITTEN KISSABLE BY REVLON review.


Hello to everyone!!! Today I wanna speak about this delicious and pretty colored lip balm by Revlon.
I consider Revlon as a very good brand, and whenever I buy something, I never disappoints.
There are a colored lip gloss, that run as a lipstick...but are not a lipstick, are big pencils (no need sharpner).The last of this lip balm is not to much, like a one to two hours, but anyway is a balm! Just Bitten Balm are very moisturizing, soft, and hidrating well the lips, with a light color. These balm, are available in six different shades, many pinks, orange and red. The price is good, about 12 euro. I think this is a good product, if you are looking for a lip balm, with a nice color, not strong, but so pretty, ideal for winter time, because hydrating the lips. These lip balm are parfumed of mint, strong enough... My favourite color is the Cherish, and generally all the pink, because are more pigmented then the red.
 
 Shades:
 
Honey, Crush Darling, Cherish, Lovesick, Rendevouz, Romantic.
RATING: 7/10.

Shine Tech Gellike, give a shine mirror effect and especially give a volumizing gel effect, without use UV lamp. The color is very pigmented, bright and uniform, with a past.

EYE PEARLS QUINTET by Bourjois REVIEW

This is a gorgeous palette by Bourjois, shade illusion 62. This beautiful 5 eyeshadows, to mix and match, very pearly and shimmer, in three kind of pink, mauve and violet. I think this eyeshadows is so pretty for the shades, and so velvet effect, enough pigmented, easy to spread. The pink more light, is ideal for give bright to your look, apply it under the eyebrows, or in the inner eye corner. I like so much this mini-palette for the colors, really beautyful pink and violet, easy to mix, and so shimmer!
The price is about 13 euro, and the Bourjois quality is really good.
Bye bye, by Bruna!

RATING: 8/10

TEMPTATION FOUNDATION...


HEALTHY MIX SERUM FOUNDATION by Bourjois. I want speak abut some very good foundations today, because I use always foundation, because I like to have a beautiful face color and  a uniform color also. A really good foundation, for my opnion, is this one by Bourjois, that give you instant blending, and bright your face. This foundation give you radiance skin, it is a gel serum,
made with fruit's vitamins, litchi, pomegranate and goji berries. Avaiable is 6 shades, I tried the number 53, beige claire.I like so much this product, because my skin is more radiance, more bright, and the texture is fresh and pleasant. It has a practical dispenser, and my opinion is positive, but only if you like a natural finish foundation, because this foundation don't cover to much. So if you have some imperfection, this is not enough, you will have a light cover.

REVLON COLORSTAY, maybe this is the opposite of Borjois, because the coverage is excellent, and it is long lasting, for all day long. This foundation is the best if you want cover well your skin, ideal for combination to oily skin. This foundation is oily free, and help control shine! The packaging is also nice, in glass, but there is no dispenser... (can be a problem) The texture is soft, easy to spread, it is modular, if you want more coverage, apply it twice. The finish is matt, so nice!
The price is about 20 euro for 30 ml. My opinion is positive, really excellent foundation, good price for a good quality and many shades available.

Black Tango by Make-up Forever

The Black Tango Palette is a new Limited Edition by Make Up For Ever, the package is really gorgeous, black and red, for a sensual woman, with a design lace fan, that remind us a lot Spain... Inside, there is a big mirror, with a black lace conturs. Four shades of Aqua Cream Waterproof eye shadows, very rich and pigmented colours, three black's base with reflections blue, green and red, and one ivory highlighter. There is also a professional brush, very useful. The creams eye shadows, contains high concentrations of mother-of -pearls and pigments, kaolin mineral powder, paraben free (great). Elastic texture, so easy to apply, not crease smudge. The duration is very good.
What I dislike? This cream eye shadows, are difficolt to blend...
Curiosity: anyone of eye shadows, have its own caps, for protection, and not to dirty the mirror, I think this is so smart idea!
The price is around 40 euro, maybe expensive, but the quality is really high... so the choice is yours!
RATING: 7/10

B.B. Cream Parade.

In recent time we have been inveded by B.B.Cream, many brands have made their B.B. Cream, so in this post I want talking about the most interesting  BB Cream, about my opinion, trying to understand which one is better!
B.B. Cream Miracle Skin Perfector by Garnier. It is a Daily moisturizer 5 in 1, on the box there is written: even tones, blurs lines and imperfection, boost healthy glow, 24H moisture. and protection UVA/UVB SPF 15. It contains vitamin C and mineral pigment. It is made in Germany, the price is about 7 or 8 euro, for 50 ml. There are three types: anti aging, perfector of skin and for combination and oily skin.I tried the Miracle Skin Perfector, the only one that I found in Dubai, because I would have preferred the BB Cream for oily skin. Anyway, my impression:
- The texture is very nice, so velvet, easy to spread.
- The coverage is very light, so if you have many skin's imperfection, is not ideal for you.
- There is no one miracle...
- This BB cream have a good perfume, but strong enough.
- Moisturize the skin, for sure.
- Make a polish effect
- I don't suggest you this cream if you have oily skin, I think that  this cream is ideal for who have a dry to normal skin.
- So, I think this BB Cream is ideal for who don't have much time for make -up, for those in a hurry in the morning.
- About the ingredients: of course is not so natural cream, but the BB cream Garnier ingredients, are better then the Clinique BB Cream...
 
Age Defense BB Cream SPF 30 by Clinique. On the Clinique website  it's written: finisher antiaging, riduces lines and wrinkles, it contains antioxidant, defends of signd of aging, the skin became more smooth and soft. The price is around 30 euro, for 40 ml, therefore expensive. (Made in Belgium). My impressions:
- Unlike BB Cream Garnier, is less greasy, but anyway, I suggest this BB cream if you have a dry or nirmal skin.
- There is no miracle, also in this situations...because it don't cover to much.
- The ingredients are not so good, but the price is very high, for my opinion.
- I like the sun protection, SPF 30.




M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 by Missha. It's written: this Blemish Balm, give a natural looking coverage, moisturize also the skin like a cream. It is suitable for all skin types ( acne-prone skin also)can be used like a make-up base, or like a foundation. It is antiwrinkle, whitening, the price is about 30 US dollars, the size is 50 ml. Available 5 color, types. My impressions:
- The coverage is very good, better than Clinique or Garnier.
- It is not greasy.
- Many colors avaiable.( Clinique and Garnier have only 2 shades.)
- The texture is dense but not difficult to spread.
- This BB cream is very matt, has no effect polished.   
- The hydration is not very high, so if you have dry skin, is better aplly your moisturize cream before this BB cream.

If you have some questions, or if you want tell me your experience with some BB cream, please leave your comment!!! Bye Bye, and see you soon.
