During this year, the editorial staff of Woman’s Day tested about 500 beauty products. But now we will tell you about our most beloved and proven remedies.
– I love cosmetics very much, and testing it is even more. Of the myriad of beauty products I’ve tried this year, choosing the best ones was difficult. Therefore, I took the path of least resistance and will tell you about those that I really use every day.
The most moisturizer I’ve tried is only from the American brand. Kiehl’s… And this year their famous Ultra Facial Cream got an SPF 30 filter. It is slightly denser in texture than usual, and that is why I like it. Plus, now I have forgotten about the sunscreen for my face, which I use all year round.
My search for the perfect lip balm is finally crowned with success. And why didn’t I try the balm Chanel before? First, it comes in a very stylish jar. And secondly, the product really nourishes the skin of the lips and quickly restores it. In addition, the balm gives the lips a natural glow.
I confess that eyeshadow , they had been lying on my shelf for a long time, but only this year did my hands reach them. And now I paint with them almost every day, because they can be applied in exactly one minute and in any conditions.
I have only two requirements for mascara – that it lengthens the eyelashes and that the brush is comfortable. And Last Sensational mascara Maybelline New York answers all my requests. It paints over absolutely all cilia, makes them incredibly voluminous and at the same time lengthens. Now I paint only with it.
Hair care products of the French brand Balmain this year they finally appeared in Russia. And they are very cool. My favorite is hair mist, which not only gives hair a delicate floral scent, but also restores it.
– This year I have discovered unusual formats of funds for myself, which I had not even suspected before. In 2017, I had as many as 5 beauty favorites!
Absolutely Extraordinary Rose Serum from Australian Brand Ausganica – Probably the best thing I’ve ever tried from beauty care products. In the summer I used it instead of a cream, and in the fall and winter – under a moisturizer. The skin looks very beautiful and even.
Shadow pencil in travel format by Bobbi Brown – a universal eyelid product and very convenient at the same time. Serves as a highlighter and light shadows with an unobtrusive brown tint.
Hand cream 22 11 smells amazingly citrus and moisturizes perfectly. This aluminum tube is also probably the most photogenic in the world!
Lavender scent Diptych I bought in Paris in April. He is my personal symbol of 2017 – a complex and eventful year.
And finally, hair oil Aesop also bought on the trip. It can be used for intensive care at night or rubbed a couple of drops in the palms of your hands and applied to damp hair while styling. Hair becomes shiny, manageable, but not greasy. And not an ounce of silicone!
– 2017 turned out to be successful not only in life, but also in choosing new cosmetics. I discovered several beauty products that I am now ready to recommend to my friends and acquaintances!
About Russian organic beauty brand Pure Love I learned from fashion editor Nastya Obukhova two years ago. But by 2017, I was able to test almost all the face creams presented on the site. And my favorite was a flavonoid product made from green tea herbal extract, which is great for moisturizing and brightening skin.
Oil serum Philogra became a salvation in the pre-New Year period of deadlines and fuss. She, as stated in the description, instantly gives the face a rested look. And its texture and aroma is something!
Foundation fluid for the face Chanel differs from foundations in a lighter texture that does not clog pores, allowing the skin to breathe. I am sure I will use it in the summer as well.
With glitter L’Etoile I do not part for a day. Delicious shade called “Creme brulee” and persistence are captivating.
Flower Scent Mini Bottle Chanel “Gardenia” got me as a gift and became a reliable companion for the whole year. I wear it in a cosmetic bag anytime, anywhere. I think when it ends, I’ll buy the same one.
Better than Maybelline mascara, as it turned out, can only be The One, Oriflame! It’s a pity I didn’t know about her earlier.
Another beauty discovery of the year – eye cream Caudaliethat can be used for lip contouring too.
– This year I learned not to rush to all the fashionable and cool beauty novelties, but to choose the best and only what suits me.
Cream for hands and nails Health & Beauty bought at Tel Aviv airport. Only then I realized that I had to take two at once, and better – a box. The composition based on Dead Sea minerals works magically. It is absorbed instantly, and the hands become like silk. You cannot buy Health & Beauty in Russian stores, but you can order online delivery.
L’Oreal Paris Infallible Total Cover – my find in the fight against bruises under the eyes. Bye vitamin cocktail Dr. Jart+ V7 Spot Eraser nourishes the skin around the eyes and prevents wrinkles, L’Oreal Paris helps to mask dark circles.
Every girl should have something from Chanel in her purse
In my case, it is a shine that does not spread and gives a very juicy and delicate berry shade. I always complete the look with a filler balm with a 3D effect from Faberlic, which makes the lips more voluminous and appetizing.
– I really love cosmetics. To understand, there are six drawers in my dressing table, and half of them cannot be closed. But when our beauty editor told me to urgently choose my favorites, I didn’t hesitate for a long time and collected five jars with which I hugged every day. And I vouch for each.
About Velvetins from Lime Crime I dreamed back in school when I looked at pictures with perfect red lips. But then the company was not even sold in Russia! Now you can find even the most extreme shades. I’ve got wicked and it’s a lot of love. It is light, pleasant, lasts a long time and smells like candy. I know for sure that next year I will have more lipsticks from this line.
Foam for washing Mousse micellaire from Payot a friend gave me for the last New Year. For a couple of months I scared around the facility, because I had nothing to do with the brand before. And when I tried, I realized that washing is my favorite. I will say one thing: when you wash off your cosmetics with foam, it seems that soft rabbits are kissing you … And after washing, I use the exfoliating tonic Lotion Tonique Reveil. The manufacturer promises that it will add shine and is not lying. The proof of my love is the almost empty jar in the photo and the new one in the closet.
And now about how I love oils. This year two especially surprised me. The first is Liquid Glow from Biotherm for face. It removes winter flakes in one application. And the skin really shines from the inside. And for hair – Mythic Oil from L’Oreal Professionnel, the hair is shiny, easy to comb, and the spicy oriental scent cheers you up.
“This year, a lot of moisturizers, lip glosses, foundations and various face care products were tested. And by the end of the year, the most irreplaceable, in my opinion, means settled in my cosmetic bag.
If you urgently need to hide something, concealer comes to the rescue. Sport Addicted Concealer from Pupa. Unlike many other brands, it is dense, adheres firmly to the skin and hides any unevenness and redness. Ideal for sports and for a long working day!
Also, to maintain an even and good tone during the day, there is always powder in your purse. Dior. This is a kind of must have for every girl.
In the cold season, a rich active hand cream has become relevant. When the skin of the hands became rough from the slushy and windy weather, the beauty editor suggested trying the brand’s regenerating cream Rilastil. I immediately liked the sweet, vanilla-spicy aroma and texture. The skin is hydrated and restored instantly. Now this wonderful cream is always with me. At least in winter.
For everyday use, I liked the lip gloss Clarins. It moisturizes perfectly, but it won me over not only because of this. Glitter has one trick: it visually increases their volume.
And for evening outings and a brighter saturated color, I found for myself the perfect lipstick called Kiss Kiss by GUERLAIN. Excellent texture and even tone, pleasant berry aroma with a vanilla flavor.
