A Bit Make-up Addicted

~Everything that is on my mind.~ --> Mostly about cosmetics and girly stuff I try to post every Sunday afternoon.

[abitmakeupaddicted]

new primer - yes, this one works!

Kiehl's: Micro-blur skin perfector

27,99€/30ml

promises:

better skin texture

less pores

less lines

resumee:

makes pores nearly invisible

no big effect on lines

one is supposed to use it for a month to get long-term effects, but the effects visible just after applying are worth the price, in my opinion

[abitmakeupaddicted]

Illuminate your skin!

Vichy: Idéalia: Smoothing and illuminating cream

for dry skin

Price: £16,50/50ml

Promises:

evens out skin texture

smoothes wrinkles and lines

illuminates skin

Resumée:

illuminates skin

pronounces wrinkles since make up tends to settle into them (normally I don't have this problem)

[abitmakeupaddicted]

Dry Shampoo, second try

Batiste: XXL Volume

Price: 200ml/4,95€

Promises:

volume

can be used to get a back-combed effect

Resumee:

hair does not look greasy anymore

volume

does not leave a white residue (Y)

scent is alright, a bit artificial though

I love it and use it on a regular basis!

[abitmakeupaddicted]

Günstige Mascara, die echt gut ist

Rival de Loop Young (Rossmann): Super Star Mascara

Preis: 2,29€/13ml

verspricht:

hält:

zu Beginn kam viel zu viel Produkt raus, was alle Wimpern verschmiert und zusammengeklebt hat --> unbedingt abstreifen!

mittlerweile finde ich tatsächlich, dass die Wimpern getrennt werden

die Mascara Volumen gibt

und den Schwung gut hält

ich bin beeindruckt

[abitmakeupaddicted]

[abitmakeupaddicted]

To fight back spots...

Soap & Glory: Dr Spot

Price: 8£ (on offer 5,33£)/15ml

Resumée:

I can't really tell a difference between using and not using it

However, sometimes when put on, it stings a bit, so it must have an effect on some level

Not worth the money in my opinion

[abitmakeupaddicted]

Blush up

essence: blush up! powder blush in: #10 heat wave

Price: around 3,50€/8g

Resumée:

good colour pay-off

nice colour gradient (in my case from orange to pink)

horrible to blend

Something (very) personal

Seven months ago, I stopped being on the pill which I had been for about eight years.

I had many reasons to stop taking it, one of them being that I don't need its main effect right now and for sure I don't need its side effects.

I am not a doctor and I don't and won't tell you to do the same. I just want to tell you what happened to me.

My menstruation stopped or did not take place for three months. Then I had one and bled a lot. The next one took place two months afterwards. The one after that as well.

I did not get more break outs in the face. However, I got more blackheads in the cleveage and on my back. At the moment, I try to get over them by using a fruit acid peeling every other week. It helps a bit.

I don't think I gained weight or lost any.

I did not have any mood swings, however, I was always wondering if and when my menstruations will begin again.

At the moment, I don't know if I want to be on the pill again. Nevertheless I can say that I want to be off of it for at least two years. I want to get to know my body without all these superfluous hormones.

Does that sound weird?

************************************************************************************

Price: 2-3€

Resumee:

Although it puts moisture into the skin and the lips feel good, this effect does not last very long. I will not repurchase this product.

"There is a fundamental concern that the content of such magazines normalizes the treatment of women as sexual objects. We are not killjoys or prudes who think that there should be no sexual information and media for young people. But are teenage boys and young men best prepared for fulfilling love and sex when they normalize views about women that are disturbingly close to those mirrored in the language of sexual offenders?" - Dr. Peter Hegarty

Could you tell the difference?
