Základ krásnej pleti

believe it or not, despite being a lifelong member of the super pale Club, I only recently realized how important it is to use cosmetics and moisturizers and other products with SPF v nich. It wasn’t until an awful sunburn a few years ago that I even really started wearing sunscreen at the beach. (I know, so bad!)

Čo môžem povedať? bad teenage habits…

REKLAMA

Now, though, I’m serious about it — serious about sunscreen and moisturizer with SPF.

But I’d never really thought about primers with SPF, not until I tried Murad Invisiblur Perfecting shield broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($65).

“Flawless and fabulous in just one step. This invisible skin perfecting shield blends together advanced treatment, primer, and SPF technologies to immediately blur and protect while combating the signs of aging.”

—murad.com

I’d used other Murad products before, but only briefly. Not long ago, before consulting a dermatologist for my acne, while I was trying everything under the sun in the hopes that I’d find something that would help, I’d tried the Murad Acne Starter Kit, and some of the things in the kit helped, a little, but I think I just needed something stronger.

Before giving Invisiblur Perfecting shield a try, I wondered if it would be as good as or better than e.l.f. Poreless face Primer, my current favorite primer, and, well, it is. As a primer under makeup, Invisiblur Perfecting shield works like magic.

I apply it after my regular moisturizer, which also contains SPF, and for the record, when I do it, there’s no clumping, which happens sometimes when I mix products that contain SPF.

The smooth, clear gel makes application a breeze

I’ve been wearing an SPF 15 moisturizer for the past few months, but we’re getting closer to summer, so a little extra protection will be nice. Sadly, I didn’t have this with me on my first outing of the season to Coney Island, and I ended up getting a little burned.

Wearing Invisiblur over moisturizer with some pressed powder on top
As a primer, Invisiblur also blurs fine lines. I don’t have many wrinkles or deep lines yet (except for on my forehead, and they’re really only noticeable when I furrow my brow…which I tend to do often!), but when I apply it under makeup, Invisiblur does a fantastic job of hiding the lines I have.

AKTÍVNE ZLOŽKY
Avobenzone (2.0%), Homosalate (4.0%), Octisalate (4.0%), Octocrylene (2.0%)

INACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Isododecane, Dimethicone/Bis-Isobutyl PPG-20 Crosspolymer, Caprylyl Methicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Phenyl Trimethicone, Diethylhexyl 2,6-Naphthalate, Propylene Glycol Dicaprate, Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Hydrogenated Soy Polyglycerides, C15-23 Alkane, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Cake, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Seed Extract, Octyldodecanol, Octyldodecyl Oleate, PEG -8 Dimethicone, Octyldodecyl Stearoyl Stearate, Alcohol, Hordeum Vulgare (Barley) Extract, Butylene Glycol, Lentinus Edodes (Shiitake Mushroom) Extract, Mucor Miehei Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa root Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Retinyl Palmitate, Silica, Sodium Propoxyhydroxypropyl Thiosulfate Silica, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) leaf Extract, Solidago Virgaurea (Goldenrod) Extract, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde, Limonene, Linalool, fragrance (Parfum)

The only thing that bothers me about it is the packaging, specifically the pump.

It’s a little annoying… It has a very odd little cap, and I’ve never seen one quite like it before. I don’t feel like I get a full pump worth of product out of it (although you don’t need a lot).

I’d prefer to see a more traditional pump

REKLAMA

For $65, Invisiblur is quite a bit more expensive than the primers I usually buy, but it works and works well.

I also like the clean, airy scent, and the formula doesn’t agitate my sensitive skin. I haven’t had one single breakout while using it, which is something I always look for when I start using a new face product. It’s been a great addition to my skin care routine.

Have you ever used anything from Murad, and what products are you using now to get your SPF?

My beliefs exactly! (Mug by Kate Spade)
Môžete sa čudovať, “Tak čo v Tarnácii je tento pondelok hlasom ???”

No, nie je to presne anketa. Je to oveľa viac z neustále sa vyvíjajúcej (devolving?), Trochu náhodný zoznam obáv, ktoré som odviedol návštevníkom každý pondelok ráno za posledných sedem rokov. (Je to ako Kickstart pre váš mozog.) Vždy som potešený čítaním vašich odpovedí v komentároch, rovnako ako dúfam, že ste potešili v čítaní bane.

Other than a hair clean (or comb), the hair styling tools I utilize many commonly are…
A hair dryer as well as a curling iron. I have an ancient t3 hairdryer I’ve had because 2007 that I still utilize as well as absolutely adore. I keep in mind it costing an arm as well as a leg, however that thing is my trip or die, for sure! It dries my hair in less time than any type of hairdryer I’ve had before.

As for curling irons, I have a few of them that I rotate between, depending upon the type of hairstyle I’m going for, however lately I’ve been utilizing my t3 Bodywaver much more commonly than the others since of exactly how excellent it gets that blown-out look with a round brush, without, ya know, me having to do the actual work.

If I might provide myself some guidance today, I’d say…
Pokojne! — as well as don’t fail to remember to take your breaks. I’ve been feeling a bit anxious lately…I believe since of hormones as well as just general pregnancy worry.

What was the last thing you baked?
I made some applesauce as well as almond butter pancakes yesterday to bring along as snacks when we see my parents in the east Bay, as well as they’re very delish!

They’re low in sugar as well as carbs (just a few grams from the applesauce as well as almond butter), so they’re an okay addition to ye olde gestational diabetes meal plan. You can have them for breakfast, like routine pancakes, however they’re one of my preferred afternoon as well as evening snacks. They’re yummy chilly or heated up in the microwave, as well as ordinary or topped with almond butter or peanut butter.

Sometimes, if I have a bit additional space in my carb count, I’ll top them with a little amount of fruit, like a few blueberries or half a sliced banana.

And even if I wasn’t viewing my carb count, they’re still delicious.

What’s something you’d try doing if you understood you couldn’t fail?
I’d try my hand at composing a young adult book since I’d like for infant woman to be able to say, “My mom composes books!”

I absolutely online for…
A excellent pair of shoes that likewise occur to be on sale. Homegirl likes her footwear.

You may be wondering, “So what in tarnation is this Monday Poll thing anyway!?”

No, nie je to presne anketa. Je to oveľa viac z neustále sa vyvíjajúcej (devolving?), Trochu náhodný zoznam obáv, ktoré som odviedol návštevníkom každý pondelok ráno za posledných sedem rokov. (Je to ako Kickstart pre váš mozog.) Vždy som potešený čítaním vašich odpovedí v komentároch, rovnako ako dúfam, že ste potešili v čítaní bane.

Have you ever sent somebody a lock of hair (or have you ever got one)?
No on both counts because, um…it seems type of strange to me. Strangely enough, though, I’d be completely fine with Tabs sending me a lock of his fur with the mail, LOL!

Yeah, let’s just go ahead as well as data that under “Weird things crazy feline women Say.”

How old were you when you started utilizing email?
Dude, I was in COLLEGE. perhaps a sophomore or a junior? as well as it had something to finish with a stats class I was taking…

Speaking of “the great old days,” in some cases I do miss the privacy as well as general simplicity of life before email as well as social media. There were fewer distractions everywhere, however I don’t miss other things about it, like having to offer with cars and truck trouble. That occurred to me a few times pre-Internet as well as cellphone — cars and trucks stalling — as well as it always took, like, half the day (or in some cases all of your day) to offer with. catching the bus or discovering a ride, getting a tow, having to walk actually miles to the nearest pay phone. now it only takes 15 minutes to get a tow truck as well as hail an Uber. Úžasný!

It blows my mind that infant woman is gonna grow up not understanding what it was like to online without email or the Internet, or the feeling of continuously being linked to the entire world. It’s just strange to me…

Do you do vests?
Not because the ’90s! I keep in mind having a cropped denim vest from The Gap, as well as I believed I was hot sh*t in it at the time, however now when I see old pics of myself using it? Hmm… I looked quite silly. I don’t understand what I was thinking!

How do you like your chocolate-chip cookies?
1) Soft as well as chewy with somewhat crispy edges, or 2) thick as well as moist.

I don’t have time to mess keeping that thin, crunchy business, since they’re gone in like two bites. I like it when my cookies make me work a little…

Is your purse neat or messy?
Surprisingly neat. I can tolerate a specific degree of untidy chaos in some elements of my life, however I just can’t do it with my wallet, as well as my most significant pet peeve is when there are eight million receipts up in there. So, I try to go with it weekly as well as data away my receipts. then I put the spare modification in a basket in the living space that we phone call “The Genie Jar,” as well as re-stock my company cards.

It’s a holiday right here today, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, as well as a great deal of people have the day off from institution as well as work. I have a few things I wished to get to — chores as well as infant arrival prep-type things — however it ought to be a quite lazy day.

Jedným z odtieňov v každom dua je ľahší odtieň pre zvýraznenie a druhý je tmavší odtieň pre kontúrovanie.

Nie som naozaj veľký kontúr (je to slovo?), Ale ak ste, to je to, čo sú tmavšie odtiene. Ja? Som viac o zvýraznení (aj keď budem hrať aj s odtieňmi tiež).

Milujem NARS NARSPLEY VŠEOBECNE, pretože majú ten jemný svietivý mágia, ktorá prirodzene rozjasní bez toho, aby vyzerali super mastné alebo lesklé, takže keď ich použijete, skončíte vyzerať, že ste práve opustili J. Lo a Jessica ALBA’S Osobný facialista, a ona pracovala na koži. Absolútne milujem ten druh žiara.

Sochársky duos prichádzajú do troch verzií – Copacabana / Sidari Beach (Shimmery, Silvery Pink s Rosy Bronze), Hot Sand / Laguna (broskyň šampanské s bronzy hnedou) a playa flamenco / oahu (šumivé, mäkké zlato s a Deep Bronze).

REKLAMA

I chosen out a few things from the line to try, as well as right here are my very first impressions.

Honest beauty whatever primer luminous Base ($27)

I haven’t always been a huge primer user, however lately I’ve noticed that they do make a difference in exactly how my makeup looks.

I like me a great glowy primer that’s going to radiate with my foundation to make it look like I just have this naturally radiant skin, which I don’t. unfortunate day.

Honest beauty has this Everything primer luminous Base that I was especially excited to try. Sadly, though, it doesn’t work well for me. While I believe the glow is pretty, it seems to exaggerate the bumpy structure of my skin as well as cling to areas that are a bit dry.

If you’re looking for a excellent luminizing primer, I wouldn’t sprinkle out $27 on this number. I would go the more cost effective path with something like L’oreal true match Lumi liquid glow Illuminator.

Honest beauty Luminizing Powder in Midnight reflection ($25)

The Luminizing Powder in Midnight Reflection has been living in my Travel makeup Bag ever since the very first time I utilized it a number of weeks ago. It’s gorgeous when utilized as a subtle highlight, or when I utilize everything over my deal with when I want to look like a disco sphere (in a quite way). It just makes the skin look radiant as well as perfect. That’s all I have to state about it. Páči sa mi to; Skús to.

On the left is a bolder swatch; on the right it is more mixed in…
Honest beauty Eyeshadow Trio in Smoky gray ($25)

I’m having a difficult time making up my mind about the Eyeshadow Trio in Smoky Gray. The three shadows all seem to have different structures as well as formulas. Je to čudné. The slate gray shade is amazing, super soft as well as whatever you might want in a shadow, while the gold-y shade is good, too… nothing as well special, however good! as well as the black, honestly (sorry, I had to), isn’t poor at all, however it is just a great deal firmer as well as less pigmented than the other two, perhaps since of the nature of black shadows, however it just seems strange to me that all three shades are a bit different from each other.

All in all, though, I like them!

Honest beauty velvet Eyeliners & Brow Fillers ($16 as well as $15, respectively)

Starting with my preferred of the two, the Brow Filler in rich Brunette, I like this thing! There’s nothing especially unique about it as far as brow pencils go, however for some reason it makes me have a truly great brow day. It almost seems like the product clings to the hairs as well as makes them look a bit bit thicker and, like, there are more of them. It’s a bit difficult to explain, however I’m a fan.

The True velvet Eyeliners have made it into my makeup bag for one specific reason, which is that they don’t irritate my eyes.

My eyes are truly sensitive, particularly when I’m tight lining or lining my waterline. I haven’t been able to pinpoint the reason or component that makes them water so bad, however these liners don’t cause me any type of problems.

The pigmentation is average, as is the staying power, however my eyes are happy with the ingredients.

REKLAMA

Other than the black as well as gold, they likewise have a flesh-toned choice that’s excellent for the waterline!

Honest beauty has some remarkable things out, as well as some not-as-awesome things. If you’re thinking about providing the line a try, I would just do my research study to discover out which products work well for others. always keep in mind, though, that you may like something that other people despise, as well as the other method around.

But hey! That’s part of the fun of being a makeup junkie, right? happy experimenting!

Becca veľmi prvým svetlým základným filtrom, zmiešaný, ako aj nezmiernený
Snažil som sa to sám na holé kožu, pod nadáciou, rovnako ako som ho dokonca pridal k tónovanému zvlhčovaniu. Bez ohľadu na to, čo som naozaj nevidím rozdiel.

Možno je to účelné, rovnako ako ja som len nie je cieľovým trhom. Spodná metóda, táto metóda, rovnako ako pokojná pre mňa. Verím, že zostanem s mojím vyskúšaným a pravím podsvietením.

The two theBalm holiday 2015 palettes
I hope the holidays are hella balm, girl, because you know what!? YOU DA BALM.

You da balm dot com!

REKLAMA

The balm…? get it??

Alright, alright, I know. Weak word play…but it’s so much fun.

Yes, I’m actually holding theBalm In the Balm of Your Hand palette ($39.50) in the palm of my hand…
The holidays have officially begun over at theBalm. Their new holiday 2015 collection is available now, and it’s just two pieces — actually, two palettes. one of them is called “In theBalm of Your Hand greatest Hits Vol. 1,” so you’ll literally be able to hold theBalm in the palm of your hand.

Both palettes are filled with some of the brand’s a lot of popular products, so there aren’t any new colors here. One consists of powder and cream products for eyes, cheeks and lips, and the other consists of a trio of powder highlighters.

theBalm In the Balm of Your Hand palette ($39.50)

Because these are both sort of “greatest hits” palettes, they’re a good way to get familiar with the brand if you aren’t already. With the $39.50 “In theBalm of Your Hand” palette, you get three blushes, one bronzer, a highlighter, four eyeshadows and two combo lip/cheek products, and yay! — some of them are things I’ve been wanting to try, like the hot mama and Instain blushes.

theBalm In the Balm of Your Hand palette ($39.50)
I’m always in favor of things that make my life easier, like the separate flap that covers the cream products in the “In theBalm of Your Hand” palette (in the in the?), so you can cover the creams and keep them clean while you’re working with the nearby powder products.

Isn’t that nice? No cross pollination!

theBalm The Manizer Sisters palette ($28)
Now, I haven’t played extensively with this palette yet, but I have worn the blushes, the bronzer and the highlighter. I’ve yet to explore the four eyeshadows, but I have used theBalm’s eyeshadows before, and I like ’em. They have an easy-to-blend, soft formula (comparable to too faced shadows); a lot of of them are very wearable, too, and have a healthy amount of pigment.

theBalm The Manizer Sisters palette ($28)
I’m also pretty ecstatic about The Manizer Sisters Palette. In it, you get three of theBalm’s bodacious highlighters — the amazing golden Mary-Lou Manizer, pinkish gold Cindy-Lou Manizer and bronzy gold Betty-Lou Manizer.

Great! I think these are great. They remind me a lot of BECCA’s Shimmering Skin Perfector pressed highlighters. You can use them for soft and subtle effects, or turn that ish up to highlighter heaven. If you haven’t tried these highlighters yet, this palette’s a good way to get them all in one place.

theBalm The Manizer Sisters palette ($28)
Both palettes/potential stocking stuffers are available meow online and at theBalm counters. lots a lot more pictures and info in the video at the top.
