Reviewing Benefit and Co.

Hi Dears.

I used this short studio series to show you the importance of "little". No I wont be speaking of something as political as the Save the Bees action haha. Only wanted to démonstrateur that sometimes make up and face clearing could be be efficient with tiny products as long as they're the best!

These are all the little bees who worked on my face ! 

Three brands remains:

-Benefit 
-Kiehl's 
-Sieshiedo
I will describe each product to give you more instructions.

To shoot this make up, I am also wearing a dress from:
Collectif Clothing
Which I highly recommend when you wish to buy your first Neo-retro style item!

And a lovely brooch from my friend Jessica Cangiano's etsy platform :
ChronicallyVintage 

Starting from the left:

Really important to start with this one !

On the evening of a shoot, when I clean up my face I then add some little dots of It's Potent, 

Right on my black ring. And I leave it for all night long to pose. Then , I feel the ring formed is way less deeper.

You can also find some alternative of the cleaning and leaving-in of the night, by using the Benefiance,

From Shiesiedo as a cleaner and then, leaving the Oil from Kiehl's below, by small touches on the face.

So when you have a cleaned face in the morning it is always easier to put some make up on.

Stay Flawless: Brilliant idea. I am definitely not a fan of CC and BB cream. I found them useless.

But this, this is great. It is soft and not really tainted just enough to put straightly on after applying your everyday moisture cream.

It prepares your skin to receive the foundation, without having a big contrast between the two colours (of course.  You know you have to stay close to your skin natural colour, but sometimes we have such fade natural colour than there is obviously a difference.)

The PoreFessional: okay now, this is clearly Brilliant again. When you wish to have a doll skin this is what you should use BEFORE putting on the foundation. I always feel like my skin had already some digital retouching on !

Both products are from Benefit.

Stay Don't Stray: I was mentioning my rings earlier, well this is perfect for them. I don't know if you lived this trauma like me before, but my rings under my eyes always wanted to ruin my make up by straying it and 3 hours later you could see it was a bit "old" already. Now this is perfectly smooth and won't stray but stay ;)

To add before the foundation of course.

They're Real: I started to wear mascara really late, I always thought I didn't have the need to wear some. But this. This changed my opinion on it! It really makes my lashes pop off it is incredible.

Et voilà !
I don't often do tutorial or reviewing make up lines, but if you enjoyed it please tell me :)

Hope you're all spending a great summer...

I've been in the South of France to catch a bit of sun rays and it seems like being on a detox cure to heal my broken heart. No wifi, nor TV, nor sometimes phone net working either I've been walking and resting most of the Time.

& you ?

Love,

Studio Photoshoot by Miss Lucile Perron

First Kiehl's.

Et je n'en ai pas fini avec les cadeaux car j'ai aussi reçue de l'amoureuse, un coffret Kiehl's  !

And you obviously guess it's not enough with the presies...
Cause I received a Kiehl's surprise box !

I really love the packing.

Alors j'ai testé pour vous le shampooing cheveux colorés, et le conditioner qui va avec.

J'ai toujours mon petit rituel shampooing.

Je me fais un shampooing lavant (ça dépend de votre cuir chevelu anti-pelliculaire, sec..)

+

Shampooing pour la fibre capillaire , pour moi:

 Cheveux secs / colorés

+

Soin

(Soit avant lavage type huile,

Soit après lavage type crème/masque)

Mais du coup, là j'ai vraiment voulu faire "comme sur la notice" pour pouvoir comparer !

Je me suis fait deux fois le shampooing du lot, la première fois ça ne lavait quasi pas... Ce qui est une bonne chose !

Car un shampooing qui mousse de suite lorsque vous avez les cheveux sales... C'est louche .

Bourré de tensioactifs, c'est logiquement les shampooings du commerce qui vous donnent ce résultat.

Bref, le premier n'a pas moussé, bien que j'en mette beaucoup, vu ma masse de ouf, et le deuxième par contre était top.

Ensuite, le soin !

Alors ils disent qu'il faut laisser poser 2 minutes, ce qui pour moi n'est pas vraiment assez, mais certes c'est ce que j'ai fait. J'ai bien rincé.

Sécher mes racines au sèche cheveux, ce qui d'habitude me rend la chevelure hypra sèche.

Oui ça fait beaucoup de sèche,sèche,sèche.

Mais que voulez vous, les chaussettes de l'archiduchesse ça me connait.

Donc , la chevelure à demi séchée , je me suis mis l'Elixir Huile Magique à l'Avocat.

C'était précisé de la poser en racines mais j'ai préféré l'appliquer sur les longueurs ce qui est plus sensibilisé.

Puis j'ai laissé sécher à l'air libre.

Le lendemain au matin , mes cheveux étaient enfin secs!

Et super , mais SUPER doux.

Alors , n'hésitez pas foncez ces produits sont vraiment cool.

Pour les Parisiennes, Kiehl's a un stand au Bon Marché ou vous pourrez sûrement trouver votre bonheur ;)

I tried for you, last day, the Color-dyed hair shampoo and Conditioner from Kielh's.

I always have my little shampoo rituals.

I do a cleansing shampoo, the one that will depend on what you want to treat (anti-dandruff ect)

+

Shampoo for the hair itself, as for me:

For Colored Hair or Damaged Hair

+

Cream or Oil, as a Conditioner

But I actually, really wanted to do "as the conditions of use" to compare !

I made twice the shampoo from the pack, and the first time it didn't quite washed a thing... But that's a good thing !

Why? Because a shampoo which creates foam straightly even when you have such dirty hair... It's odd.

Full of surfactant , I think it's the word for it in English, it's oftenly some shampoo from supermarket 

brands which gives you this result.

Well, there wasn't foam for the first one, even I put a lot of it for my weight of hair, but the second was alright.

And then, conditioning !

It says we have to let pose for 2 mins, I thought it wasn't enough to work, but that's what I did. And I rinsed thouroughly.

Dried my roots, with the hair-dryer, which usually makes it really dry.

Yeah, I know dry, dry, dry. And I can't translate the joke I made in French it doesn't work !

Haha.

Then, half dried, I put the Avocado Magical Elixir Oil.

I was informed to put in on the roots directly and let it pose BEFORE doing the shampoo. BUT I d rather spread it on the lengths, which are more sensibilised.

And I let it dry on its own.

In the morning, my hair was at last dried !

And like super, SUPER soft.
