I want and can: cheap cosmetics

I want: Chanel LE SOURCIL DE CHANEL, 2865 rubles

The trend for natural eyebrows came to us several seasons ago. With this new trend, most brands have a lot of new eyebrow products, and eyeshadows are also in great demand.

Eyebrow shadows are comfortable with their texture, beveled brush and the choice of several shades at once.

The Chanel set contains universal shades, a brush on one side beveled, and on the other – with a brush that smooths out the hairs, and a small tweezers that will help you quickly correct the shape.

There is also a magnifying mirror in the case, which will allow you to perfectly control the application.

I think this is the perfect set that contains a complete cosmetic bag of eyebrow products.

I can: Oriflame, set for eyebrow correction, 660 rubles (pictured on the left)

If I am asked: “Quickly name two identical products from the luxury and mass market”, I will answer: “These are eyebrow shadows from Chanel and Oriflame.”

In the second case, these are two shades of shadows that can be mixed with each other, wax for shaping, in the bottom drawer there is a dark brush for shadows and a light one for shaping with wax. The mirror is very convenient to use, turning the product horizontally: in the reflection you see only your beautiful eyes and eyebrows.

Means differ in that there is no wax in Chanel, but there is a brush, and Oriflame has two brushes for applying the product. The packaging also differs: for those who love the French brand, it is always pleasant to wear their favorite product in a velvet case. But the Oriflame palette is much more compact and is ideal for lovers of small clutches.

I want: Guerlain, Meteorites Perles Blossom, 4185 rubles

Every beautiholic has magical meteorites or dreams of them. However, the magic lies in the beauty of small colored balls, in principle, the effect of meteorites is the same as that of blush. Only the packaging is less convenient for a travel cosmetic bag, there are no brushes, and even applying them to a brush is not as convenient as compact ones.

But still they have their own charm, why not have such beauty on your shelf? Guerlain releases a new version of blush every season and every time in a new case. The blush is applied easily and neatly with a brush. The palette is large: there are pink, peach, with shimmer and natural shine.

I can: Avon, powder balls, 449 rubles

From the name you can immediately understand that the sophistication in this tool is much less than in the Guerlain meteorites, but the meaning is the same. In a plastic case, small balls of different shades that create a radiant make-up on the cheekbones.

Differences: Avon packaging is simpler and not as pleasing to the eye as meteorites, but the quality of the product itself and the durability are the same.

Conclusion: if you want to try makeup with unusual blush, and there is not enough money for Guerlain, then we order Avon and we are happy to update the cosmetic bag.

I want: Dior, Diorshow Iconic, 2489 rubles

This is one of the most versatile and favorite mascara options. The straight silicone brush creates a perfect bend without difficulty. Iconic is the perfect mascara in every sense: a comfortable brush, an even application without lumps and “spider legs” and long-term use – Dior mascara does not dry for an amazingly long time.

Many pluses and not a single minus.

I can: Max Factor, False Lash Effect, 633 rubles

Once one of the largest cosmetics and perfumery stores ranked the most bought products, and in the mascara category the first place was taken by Max Factor, False Lash Effect. Indeed, according to reviews of women of all ages, this mascara is suitable for everyone. A wide rubber brush creates perfect lashes in one stroke, and the product does not dry out for a long time: mascara is enough for at least six months.

In this case, I did not find a single difference for myself, except for the packaging. But I want to note that Max Factor has a very beautiful tube.

I want: Estée Lauder Double Wear Compact BB Cream Cushion SPF 50

BB cream is a product that combines the properties of a foundation and a care cream. Such a “foundation” allows you not to use a cream and a base for a foundation. The only thing is that BB creams are not suitable for everyone. For most women, if one does not work, then others will also turn out to be unsuitable.

Some beauticians believe that BB products are made for girls with oily skin, so if you have a hint of dryness on your face, then the chances are high that it is not worth buying.

Estée Lauder releases a weightless BB cream that adheres smoothly to the skin for a velvety feel. The product contains vitamins E and C. The new collection contains this cream only in a compact version.

Good for light makeup.

I can: Maybelline Dream Satin BB, 383 rubles

Many people truly love Maybelline foundations. Indeed, with their low price, the quality of the product pleasantly surprises. The tone lays down evenly and does not create a mask effect, the shade does not turn yellow, the durability is maximum.

Maybelline Dream Satin BB contains vitamins A and B to help create healthy, even and radiant skin.

I can say for sure that it is worth trying Maybelline Dream Satin BB, even if your shelf is full of luxury products. The question is different: either the BB tool suits you, or not at all.

I want: Clarins Joli Rouge Velvet matte lipstick, 2350 rubles

Lipstick in Nude color or a little brighter – this is the tool that will be in fashion for tens, hundreds, and maybe even thousands of years. Any woman in her cosmetic bag has at least one product of this shade.

Rouge nourishing lipstick not only nourishes, it moisturizes even the driest skin of the lips, like a balm, but nevertheless, the durability of up to four hours with this product is ensured.

I can: L’Oreal Paris Color Riche, 399 rubles

Like Clarins, Color Riche lipstick moisturizes lips as it contains camellia and jojoba oils. At the same time, it lays down in a thin layer, almost weightless in sensation.

The shades are slightly different, but the effect and durability of the lipsticks are almost the same.

I want: CND VINYLUX Top Coat, 720 rubles

Top coat is an irreplaceable thing. The top helps the colored polish dry faster, creates a glossy effect and prolongs the life of the manicure. Vinylux has long established itself as a reliable nail polish.

According to the promise of manufacturers, transparent varnish every day not only does not chip, but becomes even more reliable, and it is best to remove a manicure with a wash of the same brand.

I can: Oriflame, base for varnish and glossy finish 2 in 1 The ONE, 400 rubles

I tried this varnish quite by accident. He came under my arm when I urgently needed to correct one nail. The effect surprised me: the varnish dried instantly, the gloss and evenness of the coating tempted me to buy the product.

As a result, the varnish on this nail lasted longer than on all the others, and I can say for sure that the top coating of Oriflame is not much different from Vinylux: both are worthy of attention.

Хочу: Shiseido, Benefiance Wrinkle24Resist, Eye Mask, 5999 рублей

Eye patches are a faithful assistant in the morning. The sheet mask relieves swelling, dark circles and fatigue in just 10 minutes. The complex also includes properties such as moisturizing and reducing wrinkles.

Shiseido Eye Mask – 24 Cloth Petals, lasting two weeks.

I can: Purederm, Collagen Eye Zone Mask, 167 rubles

“The difference is more than 5000 rubles?” – you will ask in surprise and, probably, incredulously. Yes, despite the big difference in price, I can definitely say that I did not find any differences for myself.

The only thing is that Shiseido has a stronger wrinkle smoothing effect, but if the rejuvenation function is not the most important criterion of the product for you, then Purederm, Collagen Eye Zone Mask is quite suitable.

In a set of 30 patches that can be put in a cool place, and in addition to a refreshed face, you will receive a boost of energy.

I want: Loccitane, shea light cream-comfort for the face, 2890 rubles

Shea Day Face Cream is enriched with Shea Butter, which well nourishes, moisturizes and regenerates the skin. Shea butter is considered a miracle cure that will save even the most dehydrated skin. Everyone chooses a care according to their skin type, but for winter, Loccitane cream will find its place on the shelf for women with any skin type.

I can: Yves Rocher, Elixir Jeunesse day cream, 1590 rubles

The organic cream contains seven active plants, shea butter and macadamia oil. This is not to say that these creams are perfectly similar and the result will be the same. But these two products definitely moisturize and smooth, remove signs of fatigue, give a feeling of soft and velvety skin.

I want: Hyalual, WOW Mask, 1070 rubles

A sheet mask is the most convenient and quickest way to restore your skin if you don’t have time to visit the salon. The mask consists of two parts and has a pleasant scent.

Despite the recommendations of the manufacturers, I did not take off the mask for not 20 minutes, but two hours. The mask managed to absorb, and I can say for sure that the effect is instant. The complexion is healthy and the skin is so hydrated that you don’t want to apply a day cream.

If you do such a mask once a week, then you can cut trips to the beautician in half.

I can: “L’Etoile”, Bon Voyage Agiotage, 149 rubles

This anti-aging sheet mask strengthens the skin and moisturizes it to the maximum. Manufacturers recommend keeping the mask on your face for about 30 minutes, but if you really want to and there is no allergy, then you can sit for an hour with your favorite mask.

After such care, you get the feeling of salon care. The skin is soft and silky, and if you also peel before using the mask, the skin will look completely renewed.

But anti-aging masks should not be used if you have sensitive or inflamed skin, then you should choose a moisturizing treatment.
