Spring cosmetic novelties: testing YSL, Givenchy, Loccitane, Vichy

In one palette, four colors are combined at once, which can be mixed and applied separately. Delicate pastel colors will add freshness, and the shimmer will help the skin to shine both in the sun and without it. The palette is limited and will only be available in the spring and summer.

Elena Karlina, star editor:

Pros: firstly case. He, as always at Yves Saint Laurent, is luxurious, and also comes with a boot so that it does not get scratched in the purse. Secondly, the colors. The creators were inspired by pastel paintings, and associations with them. The grinding is very fine, the texture is delicate. So it is a pleasure to apply: they are easily shaded, and it is impossible to overdo it or paint stains with them, I’m sure.

Cons: The Shimmer rush color is quite pale, which will please Snow White, but may not suit all swarthy girls.

Le Rouge lipstick in bright orange 304 Mandarine Bolero. The semi-matte lipstick gives the lips a rich color and delicate shine.

Olga Safonova, deputy. editor-in-chief:

Pros: In principle, I like Givenchy lipsticks and lip glosses: good quality, aesthetics and beauty of design, ease of application and bright juicy colors. Mandarine Bolero – a shimmery orange with a touch of red – suited me perfectly. The lipstick has a completely light unobtrusive smell, soft creamy texture. The lipstick is easy to apply, lays down evenly and gently, long-lasting. After drinking coffee, it is erased evenly, the color just becomes not so bright, but the outline is preserved. In general, she creates a vivid image for her owner and does not cause any problems.

Cons: no.

Elena Shatalova, editor:

It is a product from the Mineral 89 series, in which a record concentration of Vichy thermal water of volcanic origin (89), enriched with 15 minerals, is declared. In addition to it, the main components of the 13 components are hyaluronic acid and pure caffeine (it reduces puffiness). They promise protection, strengthening, moisturizing for 24 hours, reducing dark circles under the eyes.

Pros: a convenient spray bottle allows you to dose the product to a minimum. My skin is dry, especially around the eyes, there are dark circles under the eyes. I did not expect a magical effect at once, but for comparison, I applied it to the skin around one eye, leaving the other in its usual state. By the way, the creators advise using it on the eyelid, which is not always recommended. I felt that the skin had smoothed out, as if it had stretched slightly, and a thin film was formed, not sticky, quite comfortable. There was no puffiness under the eyes by morning. Despite the fact that the moisturizing effect is promised for 24 hours, I used the remedy in the morning. Moreover, according to the description, they advise. There are no fragrances in the product, it is completely odorless, if you are capricious to aromas, it will suit you.

Cons: I did not feel the promised maximum moisturizing effect. Perhaps this requires regular use. The dark circles didn’t disappear overnight either. I will assume that you cannot do with external means alone, it is worth acting on the body from the inside.

Anna Tok, editor of the section “He and she”:

L’Occitane Scrub Mask naturally exfoliates dead cells and traces of dirt, and tightens pores. The mask has an absorbing and exfoliating effect, thereby mattifying the skin. After the first use, the skin is deeply cleansed and the water balance is restored.

Pros: very pleasant aroma, and unusual bright and rich color cheers up. The texture is very delicate but dense. The fine particles in the mask act as a scrub when rinsing off. I was also pleased that the effect of the product is achieved in just 5 minutes, but the product is so pleasant that you don’t even want to wash it off. After the first application, the skin became more matte and looked well-groomed. I can’t wait to see the result after a full course.

Cons: not found.

Anna Tok, editor of the section “He and she”:

Barnängen balm provides intensive care with wild rose oil. Flower extract moisturizes dry, flaky skin and prevents rapid moisture loss. Due to the normalization of metabolic processes in skin cells, wild rose oil stimulates collagen synthesis, increasing skin firmness and elasticity.

Pros: delicate, spring, unobtrusive aroma of the balm immediately won me over. The product has a very pleasant pale pink color and a creamy oily texture. After application, the feeling of hydration did not leave the whole day, and the skin seemed to smell of flowers. I absolutely love it.

Cons: not found.

Ksenia Kryaneva, SMM manager:

Sephora introduces the face palette. The palette features 3 highlighter shades with a trendy holographic effect, 2 matte blush shades and a matte sculpting shade.

Pros: this palette contains very beautiful shades, both matte and glossy. As I saw it, I immediately wanted to try it, and after the first use I realized that the quality is not inferior to attractiveness. The most important plus is that in one palette there is a highlighter, blush, and even a sculpting tool. That is, with her help, I can do a full-fledged make-up.

Cons: not enough brushes. It seems like it would be cool if they were included in the set.
