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.

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
