Esteé Lauder Ideal Light Brush-on Illuminator

So Illuminator is a big hit right now and everybody is trying to find the perfect one for them, doesn't matter if it is a high end or a drugstore one. Now I was so lucky to get a Esteé Lauder Ideal Ligh Brush-on Illuminator, which  I couldn't wait to try out. 

When I started using this highligter/ concealer, then I honestly didn't like it at all. I felt like it was way to oily/ greasy feeling, which I didn't like, but I know that you have to use a product for some time before you can really decide if you like it or not.  I kept on using it, which I'm really happy about. 

Mine is in 02 light medium which is a little bit too dark for me if it has to work as an Illuminator, but even though the color is a tat too dark it still brightens up my skin and I love using it under my eyes, because even though is starts out a bit greasy then when you work it into your skin then it is like it disappears along your dark circles and your puffy eyes. I use this every morning  under my eyes and then I use another concealer to cover my blemishes. 

I have to say that the packing is made perfectly and it screams high end because it is so timeless and just looks good. The product that is on the inside is good, but I don't know if I would spend $26.50 (235 kr) on it, when you can find a drugstore Illuminator that works just as well.

Also since this isn't really the perfect color for me so it doesn't really give me the glowing effect that this  product should, but I would love to try it on it the soft pink color they have, because I think that it would give the perfect glow to the skin.

I'm not sure I would spend my money on this one, I might look around and find some other products that I would like more, but if I ever got to try it in a different color that suited me better then I would like that, because I like the texture of the product it self, since it doesn't feel heavy on the skin and it doesn't sit in your fine lines around your eyes, it simply disapears into your skin and covers what it should cover. 



As You can see on the picture it is a brush that you apply your product with, you twist the end and then the product comes out of the brush, a really simple. I like the way it work and I don't think that there comes too much product out, which is nice. 

I will use this up before I start on another product, because as I have mentioned a lot then the only thing that I am not so keen on is the color, but the product itself is really good. 

I hope you all have a good day :)

Summer Blush ELF & NARS

E.L.F's Blush In Glow
Peach/ Gold 

Blush is something most of us use so we don't look like zombies when we have created the perfect base with our foundation. Blush is one of the things that you can get in all kind of shapes, forms, consistency and colors. I have a lot of different kind of blushes and I have to say that there a lot more out there that I wish I had just because they look so pretty. 

The other day I  had just put my foundation and was looking through my blushes to see which one I would like to wear. I have had this love hate relationship with the famous Orgasm from NARS, it's like some times I love the finish it gives on my cheek and other times I think it just looks like I blowed glitter all over my cheeks. So I was looking at my NARS blush when I saw that my E.L.F blush in Glow was right next to it. So I decided to take the E.LF one and I just fell in love with it right there when it hit my cheeks. It gave the most beautiful glow on my cheeks. I started using this blush everyday and it gave the same beautiful glow everyday, and then I started to think about my NARS blush that was right next to this one dollar blush. 

I think that they have some kind of similarities, but if you watch Emily Noels dupe blush video then she won't agree and it isn't completely a match, but I do think that they come to have a very look a like finish when you both apply them, just the thing that I like Glow every time I apply it, whereas I'm not always crazy about orgasm. 

NARS Orgams
Peachy/Gold/Pinkish

Orgasm is a really beautiful blush sometimes I just think that there is way too much glitter in it, and it makes me look like a disco ball, which I don't like. Glow is really beautiful when you are a bit tan which means that it perfect for summer. I haven't done a review for neither of these blushes, but I'm sure of that when I have used up Glow from ELF then I will buy it again, where as when it comes to the NARS Orgasm then I'm not sure. Not only is it a lot of money for a blush (that last for a long time, but its still just a blush), but I don't like everytime I apply it. Sometimes I kind of wish I didn't apply it because all that comes of is just glitter. 

But thing is that sometimes you really shouldn't listen to the hype around products, and then on the other hand you should, because when I apply the NARS blush and it looks good then I love, because it also have this amazing glow when it doesn't only look like you applied glitter. All in all then I have to say that the ELF one for me at least gives the best glow, but if you a make upholic, but you don't have a lot of money to spend right now, then look into the ELF blushes because they are really good, and then if you get a bit more money later on and just really want to try the NARS Orgasm then do it, because when it looks good, then it looks damn good. 

Expensive doesn't always mean that it is the best product, that I think is awesome, have a good day :) 

Super BB Triple functions Cream From SKIN79 (Bright PINK)

So BB cream is a big thing right now, and not so long ago I reviewed the Garnier BB cream which all in all is a tinted moisturizer. The Garnier BB cream was the first BB cream that I ever tried, but after I tried that one I had to try a "real" BB cream. So I searched on Youtube to see what kind of Brands that have BB creams I should go after. So I found SKIN79 they have this pink BB cream called ´Super+ Beblesh Balm (BB) Triple functions´ and if you are really into BB creams, then you must have heard about this BB cream. It is one of the most sold BB creams, which is why picked that one to try. I also found a another BB cream that I had to try, but I will make another review about that one, since I haven't really tried it out yet. 

I chose not to use both of the BB creams that I got on the same period of time, because then I wouldn't know what effects the they had on the long term. 

When I started to this BB cream from SKIN79 I started to have a lot of break outs on my forehead, which was kind of weird because I normally don't have a lot of break outs. I just kept on using it, and I think that it did have an effect on these blemishes. The BB cream made them less red and made them disappear a bit faster than normal, but I have to say it didn't made wonder, but I did see an effect. Now I have been using this BB cream for a while and I really like it. I don't know if it has been doing a big difference to my skin, but I do see some changes. My skin is not as red as it used to be, well it is still red, but when I apply the BB cream it calms it down, and makes it less noticeable. 

This BB Cream from SKIN79 ´Super+ Beblesh Balm (BB) Triple functions´  has as it says in the name triple functions.

It claims to: 

Whitening 
UV protecting SPF 23 Pa++
Wrinkel improvement 

On the back of the tube it says:

  "It is a 3 effects functional Beblesh balm. By Adenosine and Arbutin ingredients which are effective in whitening, wrinkles improvement cultivate more bright and elastic skin. 

Intercept ultraviolet rays UV A and B at the same time and protect your skin exposed from the sun more thoroughly. 

OSMOPUR  ingredient of new concept which are Mixed Sunflower, Rice Bran, Ivy Extracts protect skin from various harmful conditions. 

Directions: Use it proper quantity on the area of your face like patting at the last step of skin care. " 

This BB cream has some claims and I don't know if it does keep does claims, but it does have an effect on the skin I was able to see that with my redness that I have on my cheeks.

I really like the BB itself, the way it feels and the way that it applies to your face is lovely. This BB cream does cover better than the one from Garnier. This one can start out with looking a bit ashy on your face, but it changes as it starts blending with your skin color. I have love using this BB cream in the summer, because it is so light to wear. I  normally just apply if after my skin routine and then sometimes I like to take my bronzer instead of my powder and then lightly swipe it over, it gives the most lovely bronzed look, without it looking like you are wearing loads of make up. 

The lasting effect is okay I would say, I have only had the change to try it out in warm weather so I can't say how it will work in the winter. It does last on your skin for a while, and I normally just touch up one time wich is in the evening if I have to go somewhere otherwise I just leave it as it is. The best thing about this BB cream is that its so easy to touch up with and work with. If I have touch up I just pump a little bit onto my fingers and then I apply it to where I need to be touched up and I don't even have to add powder after because it just matches the skin so well, even if I used bronzer. 

I  apply it with my fingers, because I think that is the easies way to do it, and it gives a good result and a very natural result. I did have problem with my skin in the beginning, but I don't anymore, my skin has never been better than it is right now, but I don't know if its because of the BB cream. Even if this BB cream didn't do a thing for my skin I would still use it, because its just so light and easy to use. I do think it has made some changes to my skin, but its not a wonder cream, it takes time. 

This BB cream is the one I reach for everyday when I do my make up and I really love using it. I would defiantly say that you should try this BB cream if you are a BB cream lover and if you like a light/ medium coverage, but if you only use full coverage foundation then you could use this under your foundation. 

This is a good product and everybody that is on the BB cult should try it out, because it is one of the better BB creams. 

Hope you all have a good day :) 

BB Cream From Garnier

I have heard so much about this BB cream and now I found in a store for an okay price so I pulled myself together and finally bought it. When I came home from the store I quickly took the little tube out of the box and swathed on my hand to see the color. I bought in light which is a perfect color for me it blends right into my skin, which I was very happy about since I know a lot people have problems with the colors not matching with their skin tone. 
There are a some different versions of this BB cream, so remember to look at the color before you buy it. 

This is the swatches of the BB cream in light 

This BB Cream claims that it: 

• Evens tone 
• Blurs lines & imperfections
• Boosts healthy glow
• 24H moisture 
• UVA/UVB - SPF 15 
• Vitamin C + Mineral Pigments 

How to use: 

It apply daily on clean skin as your would with your moisturizer to enhance the effect of the BB - cream covering effect then apply another layer.


I know some people use a moisturizer because they apply their BB cream even though it is a moisturizer. The first time I tried my BB cream was the same day I bought because I just couldn't wait to try it out to see how the color would turn out on my face even though it worked perfectly on my hand, but that doesn't always mean that it will work on your face and match with your neck. The first time I applied it to my face had I just removed my old make up and done nothing else to my skin.


The BB cream felt nice on my skin and it didn't really matter that I just had removed my old make up and applied this on my skin even though it says your skin should be cleaned before you apply it. It didn't matter here. The next day I of course cleaned my skin before I used the BB cream and I also applied my moisturizer just before I applied this BB cream. It didn't really make any difference in the way it felt on my skin. I really do like this BB cream, but I have to say after trying the famous BB cream from Skin79 thats bright pink, this BB cream from Garnier does feel more like a tinted moisturizer, but on the other hand it doesn't.

I am going to use this product, because I do like that way it feels on my skin and I also like to use it, even though it doesn't last all day on my skin, but it easy to just reapply the BB cream to wear you think you could need to freshen up.


The coverage of this BB cream isn't amazing, but it isn't bad either.  I have very red cheeks sometimes, and I use a green concealer to cover it (I know a lot of people doesn't like them, but I love them just as much as I love a regular concealer), but I of course wanted to see the how much coverage this BB cream gives, when you don't have an even skin tone. When I applied the BB cream to my face, it didn't cover my redness that well, but I did find a solution to that. I applied the BB cream to my whole face and let it set for a moment, then I reapplied the BB on my cheeks to give it extra coverage, it just took a small amount to cover them just a bit more.


It didn't do a fantastic job, but it was good enough for me. I really like wearing this BB cream and it isn't that expensive, so I will properly repurchase this BB cream again, because there is nothing wrong with this product.


I don't know if it does qualify as a BB cream, more than it qualifies as a tinted moisturizer, but it is a product that is worth the money, and would be really good if you like to wear make up thats not too heavy.  


Now I'll go out and enjoy the beautiful weather I hope you all have a good day :)
