• Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation

    I've been using for a long time a foundation of the brand By Terry, it works so well that I never actually make a switch to a different foundation, until the brand Tarte came with a new foundation. Why I'm a fan of the foundations of the brand By Terry because they all feel very light on the skin and look very natural, like you have nothing on your skin, that's also what this new foundation by Tarte does. A lightweight foundation, water-based, which gives enough coverage. Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Water Foundation. This new liquid foundation by Tarte is available ...

  • Healthy Deodorants

    There are more and more deodorants on the market without the ingredient Aluminium and they all fall under the term healthy deodorants, but why? Aluminum in deodorants (and also in cosmetics and food) is linked to breast cancer and Alzheimer's, it's a metal that's toxic to your body. Aluminium is an ingredient that’s active against excessive sweat production, it sees to it that the sweat glands pinched closed so that there’s no transpiration. That this is bad for your body is not yet scientifically proven, but on the other hand, why would you take the risk? I've used for a while deodorants with a very high concentration of Aluminum (Lady Speed Stick and Secret), ...

  • Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water

    I love primers, they provide a natural result, make your skin smooth and makeup stays on much longer. Most primers contain silicone, I've no problem with that I actually like the feeling of it on my skin, but there are skins that don't respond so well on primers with silicone and some women find the feeling of silicone on their skin uncomfortable. Smashbox is a very well known and popular brand when it comes to primers and these contain all silicone.

    I always have a hand cream in my handbag, I wash my hands quite often every day (it's almost obsessive behavior :)) and my hands feel therefore quite dry. In the winter my hands get dry very quickly, but also in the summer or after a holiday in the sun. L'Occitane is the brand when it comes to taking care of your hands. I immediately tested a trio, including the best-selling Shea Butter Hand Cream which is enriched with 20% shea butter. This hand cream is bought every three seconds somewhere in the world, so yeah it's truly a bestseller! L'Occitane hand creams. How ...
