Let's Chat About: Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C BB Cream

 Hello Everybody!
Today I want to share with you this new BB cream I've been using. I bought this about a week ago, and I am loving it. I know I have mentioned Lumene's skin care products before from time to time, but this is the first of their makeup I have tried out. 

 The container is simple but quite sturdy, it definitely feels like it will out last the cream.

 The cream it's self is what I really want to talk to you about. Never really reading any reviews or hearing anything, good or bad, about this BB cream meant that I no preconceived notions about it. Which was was great, and hardly ever happens. Anyways, this cream has really great coverage, bordering on amazing. I have been using a L'Oreal BB cream for some time now, and there is no comparison. I have been using this instead of my regular foundation for about a week now.

 I have the BB cream in the shade 01 Light.

Before you go, I just want to say a few words completely unrelated to this post. 
You my have noticed that I have been posting on days that aren't Monday or Friday, and yes I know I said twice a week, but sometimes there are things I want to say that I don't want to save for Mondays and Fridays. So I am going to make that more of a guide line than a actual rule, that means I will be hear on the usual days and sometimes more.
 Let's Chat About, is hopefully going to be a series for the time I have been trying out a new product, but I don't want to do a serious review.
Thanks for reading through to the end.
I hope you have an amazing day.
Anna.

Happy Monday!

I won't deny it, I have quite a lot of beauty products, and I have my eye on some things I have been wanting to order from Ulta and Sephora. So I decided to set myself the goal of finishing off all my half gone products, and so far I think I have been fairly successful. So I thought I would tell you what I have gotten through so far.

Lumene Bright Touch Refreshing Cleansing Foam

I love the feel of foam cleansers, and this one is definitely on the buy again list, I did a full review of this cleanser here.

Lumene Radiant Touch Refreshing Foam Cleanser

This is a different kind of foam cleanser to the one I just mentioned, this one has a vary thick texture until you foam it up you're self. I talk about it a bit more in my April Favorites.

Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Day Cream

I  like this for around my eyes, that's really all I ever used it for. It gave my skin a nice glow,  I will be buying this one again at some point.

 Rusk Thermal Shine Spray

I have been out of this for a couple of weeks now, and I can definitely see a difference in my hair. I talked about this a bit more here.

KMS Free Shape 2-in-1 Styling +Finishing Spray

This is by far the best hair spray I have ever used. It holds curls really well, but doesn't feel stiff or crunchy. 

 L'oreal Magic Skin Beautifier B.B Cream in Fair

I would rate this B.B cream as adequate, I think it has served it's purpose, but it's just not for me. It hardly has any coverage, so I used it only as a primmer.

Physicians Formula Consealer Twins in Green and Light

I love this duo, I think it fill all the requirements. I wouldn't use this under eyes, just because I prefer something a little more brightening. 

Rimmel Stay Matte Long Lasting Pressed Powder in Buff Beige

This has been my go to powder for ages, that being said I think I need to try some new ones. I was just starting to see pan when I dropped this on my floor, Wow that made a mess. The only the I would say against this powder is the container, the lid is quite lose.

E.L.F Moisturizing Lipstick in Pink Minx 

Sadly this lipstick did not die of natural causes, I left it in the sun and when I tried to use it the whole thing broke off. Before it broke, this was well on it's way to being my new favorite lipstick. I love the formula, the color and the stay, so I will be buying this again at some point.

I know I didn't really do a serious review of any of these product, because I have reviewed most of them before.

I don't think this will turn into a monthly thing, but who know. Probably only on the month I have a large amount, or have finished off something interesting.

Have you tried any of these products? 

Am I the only one who love the feeling of finishing a product?

Please let me know in the comments.

I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Anna.

 

 

Lumene Cleanser & Toner

Hi guys,
I have recently come across Lumene Finland's products.  I talked about their day cream in my March favs post, but I thought these two needed their own review.
I'll start off with the Bright Touch foaming cleanser. I prefer foaming cleansers as a rule, and I have found that this one is quickly become a favorite. I have been using this cleanser morning and night for about two weeks now, and I have already noticed a difference in the brightness, clarity and evenness of my skin. This cleanser has a light citrusy scent. I only use two-three pumps at a time.
 Now for the Radiant Touch refreshing toner. Firstly it contains Arctic Cloudberry! I had never are heard of cloudberries before I bought this toner, and I thought is sounded a bit mythical, but after a little research I discovered that it is indeed a real berry. You can read a bit more about them here.
The toner it's self is really very nice. It has a nice light scent, and I have found the effects to be as described, which is more than I can say for a lot of products.
So after using both these products for a couple of weeks now, I can whole heartedly recommend these to anyone.
I know Lumene many be a bit harder to get you're hands on than other brands, put if you happen to come across these, I would highly recommend you give them a try.

I hope you have a wonderful Tuesday.
Anna.
  

March Favorites

I can't believe that March is almost over! It seems like it went by way to fast. And it's spring!!!! I won't get into how much I'll miss winter, because I know most of you wont agree. These monthly favorites post are still fairly new for me, this being number two. But I really enjoyed doing the one last month, so I have been looking forward to keeping it up.
So with out farther ado.

The Beauty Factory Hydrating Hair Mask:

 This mask is sulfate and paraben free, and it contains sunscreen, What! I didn't even know they did that. I was really happy to find this, I always look for keratin protein in my hair products, and this contains keratin and argan oil. 

I try to do this mask at lest once a week, because it makes my hair feel sooo nice. The smell of it is really nice to, it smells a little like a orange cream sickle.

Over all I am quite pleased with this product, and I'm very sad because it's almost gone.

7th Heaven Dead Sea Mud Pac: 

I have to say, the woman on the pack looks terrifying. But once you get over that the mask it's self is very pleasant. It's a nice pastel blue color, and leaves you're face feeling refreshed and soft. The only problem I have with this mask is the packaging, it's not easy to get it all out of the pack. But other than that I think this is a great mask.

Rusk Thermal Shine Spray:

In all honesty I haven't noticed this giving a lot of body to my hair, but I definitely noticed shine. And it doesn't add wight to my hair which is probably the main reason I like it so much, I can't stand it when I use a product that makes my hair feel heavy and blah. 

 KMS California Free Shape Styling + Finishing Spray:

When I was getting my hair done a couple of weeks ago, the girl used this spray to set the curls, and I was really pleased with the way it came out. As a rule, I don't curl my hair because it just does not hold, or if it does it feels really awful. This product is different, sure it makes my hair feel a bit thicker, not like the sprays I'm used to. The only problem I have with this product is that when you spray, the stream is quite small. But other than that, I would Highly recommend this to anyone.

Lumene Bright Now Vitamin C Day Cream:

I got this cream as a sample, and the tub is quite small so I only use it under my to keep it from going to fast. I use it more as a high lighter, than a moisturizer, and have found it quite effective. It gives the skin a bit of a glow, even after using foundation.

 Hugo&Debra French Lavender Essential Body Mist:

This is a rediscovery for me, I have had this for a year or two and it recently turn up again. The main reason I use this is that I have headaches, and I have found that the scent of lavender to be very soothing. 

 Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach:

There is not much to be said about this lip gloss, other then it's really very nice. I don't ware a lot of lip gloss, but when I do this is the one I reach for. It has a nice wear, and it's a lovely coral color.

Flower's Cherished: 

I am a fan of most of Flower's products, but I have to admit that I didn't expect to like there perfume as much as I do. I have smelled all of Flower's perfumes and cherished is by far my favorite. It has a very vanilla like scent, and I love roll on scents because I can just toss it in my bag and freshen it any time. 

L'Oreal Magic Skin Beautifier B.B Cream:

I bought this for the first time in the wrong shade, so of course I didn't like it very much. But after getting it again in the right shade I found I liked it quite well. This product primes, corrects, hydrates and perfects. Not knowing a ton about B.B cream, I don't know how good this is in the scheme of things, but I quite like it, and that's what matters.

So that concludes my March favorites.

Do you use any of these products? 

What things have been loving this last month?

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Anna.
