Alverde - Anti-Aging Q10 Beauty Balm 7in1 Aroniabeere

     An interesting proposal from Alverde. BB cream with Aronia. Sounds wonderful and I bought it without hesitation. A charming product! I have no idea what are the 7in1 things, but I liked it :) I must say that its coloring according to the package is light to medium, but my skin is more of a medium to dark, and it still fitted me perfectly. So I'm not sure whether it is suitable for a very light tan. Another important thing to know: it is understood from the name Anti-Aging Q10 Beauty Balm that it is for women and skins over 30 years old.

     The texture is a liquid, but it is not so washy/leaky and spreads easily. It has really nice and light scent. A good moisturizing cream. Also I`m using a matting cream underneath. Currently my skin is combined and it feels good with that cream, but in the summer I think it would be too heavy for me. For the current season and for the cold weather it`s great. The effect is like a normal BB cream, there is not much coverage, but perfectly evens the tan and the skin looks younger and firmer. Perfect for using in everyday life.

Balea Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Serum + Omega Complex

     Yeeep, sooner or later the time comes when we have to use some wrinkle creams. I think my time has come. And because I don`t have much wrinkles on my face (thanks to my oily skin) I decided to start with some serum. I imagine it`s something lighter than a cream. Just a note... my review will be writen from an absolute beginner in this kind of cosmetics.

     Let`s start with the packaging. Very pleasant appearance vial with a convenient pump. The serum has very nice, at least for me, scent. Very light texture that is easy to apply and absorbs really quickly. I mainly use it as a night cream because of the heating my skin gets very dry and the serum is perfectly hydrating it. Generally I can only say good things about this serum, but its main function is the anti-wrinkle effect. I`m using it for three weeks already and I didn`t see any changes in this direction. I would say that it`s suitable for those type of skins that do not require really powerful anti-wrinkle creams intervention. Soon I`m planning to use Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream from the same series. I`m really curious how big will be the effect to my face (if there is any) and also the idea of Omega based cream is really tempting.

Let`s talk about... Daily MakeUp

      Hi guys,

      By now I wrote a lot about my hair (I know, my weakness), and now it is time to draw a little attention to the face! I admit that I have not much knowledge in the wide Field of the Makeup. I read a lot of blogs and watch videos on Youtube. What some girls are doing with their faces is really great. They have all those great and large palettes and brushes... well but in the real life that`s not for me :) When you have a little man who wants to go out  NOW and not later, constantly asking "mommy, mommy"... this leaves no time for a proper makeup. What I use as a make-up is a minimal, almost unnoticeable, but still spectacular and effective. The products I use are really budgetary. What I always look for in make-up products is: the missing of any parabens in their composition and if they are vegan products... it would be great!

     The first and most important thing is: I clean my face very well. I wash it with a gel: currently using SebaMed washing emulsion. I`m definitely pleased with this product and would gladly repeat the purchase. Lightweight and unobtrusive scent, no parabens, no dry skin and it cleans it very well. Then I dabble my face with a towel and I put over my slightly damp skin a day cream (my skin is oily, so I use matting creams). I circumvent the area around the eyes, because after the day cream I put Eye-Contour Serum (currently using Alverde Gojiberry Anti-Ageing Vitamin Eye Contour Serum - you can read the review here). Then I leave the skin to properly absorb everything, around 10 minutes is OK (during which time I dress maybe for a walk) and then I put some BB cream. What I`m currently using is AoK. It behaves well on my skin and it doesn`t make it too extra oily. For everything to blend well with my tan, I make a 5 min. break (during this time I help the kid to get dressed). Then I put some Alverde mineral blush pearls - this is my favorite product. I use it only on the cheeks as a blush and I`m using a blush brush. It has a very nice light pinkish color and lightens the skin. Nowdays when I`m having a proper tan, instead of the pearls I`m using a bronzing powder. Honestly I`ve bought the first powder I saw - Essence, Sun Club shimmer bronzing powder. I`m not a big fan of their products and I perhaps I could do a better choice, but let`s say that I did not have a lot of time that day.

     Finally I put some lipstick on. My favs are two: Essence, In the Nude and P2, Flashdance. Now in the heat of the summer I use more P2, because I`m attracted more to the fresh colors. But I like both of them because they are very discreet on the lips and moisturize very well.

     That`s it! A little burst of perfume and I`m ready to go with the little man.

     Now someone will ask: but what about your eyes? I didn`t write anything about them, because I do not use anything! My eyes are super sensitive and do not tolerate any spiral.. but my eyelashes are intense black anyways so it is not a big of a loss. And almost always I`m wearing sunglasses so my eyes are well hidden :)

     Quick and easy is my Daily MakeUp. Few products and yet, the skin looks fresh and the self-confidence is up! *wink*

              Bye 

Here is a good one!

    Alverde Gojiberry Anti-Ageing Vitamin Eye-Contour Serum Against Wrinkles & Lines

    Since a couple of months I`m living in Germany. Of course I began learning the German language. In one of the first lessons there was a little saying:  "Kommt Zweit, Kommt Rat".. or something like "When the time comes, we will find the solution". I think that now is the right time to use those words. After my 30th year I began noticing some little, thin wrinkles around my eyes. One of the few advantages of my oily skin is the later appearance of the wrinkles. I`ve decided to take care of this issue and just grabbed the first product infront of my eyes which was labeled anti-ageing and eye-contour in one. I am still a beginner with German language, and here most of the cosmetics are German labeled so I did not understand everything on the label on the first reading, but I liked that it was saying: Natural cosmetic and without any parabens... and it contained the famous Goji Berries.

    After using it for a few weeks I can quite honestly say that this was a good deal. Even when you first put it on your skin you can feel that slight tightening feeling around your eyes. It absorbs quickly and easily without any residues on the skin. It doesn`t iritate/inflame the eyes - at least I didn`t have any bad reactions to it and I consider this important because I have a really sensitive skin and I`m having all sorts of allergic reactions from most of the face cosmetics. The scent of the serum is a little bit strange, but in no case unpleasant - perhaps because of the Goji berries. The packing is like a small, thin spray - 10ml, which takes out enough material for the whole eye zone with just one squeeze. 

    I will definately restock again when I finish this one... and i think that i found a solution for my problem... at least for now.
