From Coffee to Kisses - Budget-Friendly Beauty: Why I'm Loving My L'Oréal Lipstick

Hey guys! So, I finally caved and tried one of those L'Oréal lipsticks everyone's been raving about, and I have thoughts. You know how I'm always on the hunt for the perfect everyday lipstick – something that's not too drying, has decent staying power, and doesn't break the bank? Well, L'Oréal has a ton of different lines, so it was a bit overwhelming trying to choose. I ended up going for the Colour Riche line, mostly because they had a shade that looked exactly like my favorite discontinued one.

First impressions? The packaging is…well, it's L'Oréal. Not super fancy, but it doesn't feel cheap either. It's that classic gold tube, you know the one. But honestly, who cares about the packaging if the product inside is good, right?

The color I picked up is called "Nude Ambition" (or something like that – honestly, the names are a bit much sometimes!). It's this gorgeous, slightly pinky-nude that's perfect for my skin tone. They have a massive shade range though, like seriously, there's something for everyone. From your classic reds to crazy purples, they've got it all.

Application was super smooth. It glides on really easily, and it's surprisingly pigmented. One swipe is pretty much all you need for full coverage. It has a slightly creamy texture, which I really like, because my lips tend to get dry. It doesn't feel heavy or sticky, which is a huge plus.

Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel & Bioderma Sebium Review

Hey friend! So, you're curious about the Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel & Bioderma Sebium, huh? I get it, finding the right skincare can be a real struggle. Let me give you the lowdown on this one, like we're chatting over coffee. 

Okay, so Bioderma Sebium Gel is specifically made for those of us with oily, acne-prone skin. Think of it as that friend who gets your struggles with shine, breakouts, and clogged pores. It's designed to gently cleanse without stripping your skin's natural oils – which, trust me, is a big deal. You know how some cleansers leave your face feeling tight and dry? Yeah, this one doesn't do that.

I've used it myself, and here's what I've noticed: it does a good job of removing makeup and dirt, and my skin feels fresh and clean afterwards. It has a light, gel-like texture, which I really like, especially in the summer when you don't want anything heavy on your face. It also has a subtle, almost non-existent scent, which is great if you're sensitive to fragrances.

Now, here's the thing: everyone's skin is different. What works for me might not work for you, and vice versa. While I found it helpful for managing my oily skin, I wouldn't say it's a miracle cure for acne. It's more of a solid, reliable cleanser that helps keep things balanced.

Sulwhasoo CC Emulsion 35ml SPF 34 PA++ Review

Let's talk about the Sulwhasoo CC Emulsion. I've been using it for a while now, and I'm excited to share my experience with you. If you're unfamiliar with CC creams, they're kind of like a hybrid between skincare and makeup, offering lighter coverage than a foundation but more than a tinted moisturizer. And Sulwhasoo, as we know, is a luxury Korean skincare brand, so expectations are definitely high!

First impressions? The packaging is gorgeous. It comes in a sleek, pump-style bottle, which is not only pretty but also very hygienic and practical. I love pump bottles – they make dispensing the product so much easier and prevent contamination. The overall aesthetic is very much in line with Sulwhasoo's elegant and sophisticated brand image.

Now, let's get to the actual product. The texture of the CC Emulsion is, as the name suggests, very light and fluid. It's almost serum-like, which I really appreciate. It feels incredibly lightweight on the skin, and it absorbs quickly without leaving any greasy or sticky residue. This is a huge plus for me, as I have combination skin that can get oily in the T-zone.

Application is a breeze. I usually apply it with my fingertips, and it blends effortlessly. It spreads evenly and melts into the skin, creating a very natural, "my skin but better" look. You can also use a brush or a sponge if you prefer, but I find that fingers work just fine.

Erborian BB Creme Au Ginseng Review

Hey girl, you HAVE to try this Erborian BB cream with ginseng! I know, I know, another BB cream, but hear me out. This one is seriously amazing.

First off, it gives the most incredible dewy, "your skin but better" finish. Like, I swear my skin looks lit from within. And it's not greasy at all, which is a major plus for my oily T-zone.

The ginseng extract is supposed to do all sorts of amazing things for your skin, like brighten it and plump it up. I don't know how much of that is actually true, but my skin definitely feels smoother and more hydrated after using it.

The coverage is light to medium, which is perfect for everyday wear. It evens out my skin tone and covers any redness I have, but it still looks really natural. Plus, it has SPF 25, so I'm protected from the sun too.

Korean BB Creams VS Tonal Creams and Skin-tone correctors

Have you ever heard about Korean cosmetics and that it really does wonders? 

Today almost all people in the world are known about Korean cosmetics and they certainly will never return to European aids; tonal creams flew into the trash after acquaintance with BB cream. Why? Do you remember what happens to a foundation cream when it gets a water (a lot of water)? 

Yes, foundation begins to flow. A BB cream will be fine even with a water it's truly sit on the skin, remaining invisible. It is interesting fact that BB cream was invented in Germany, but they did not give this discovery much importance and technology migrated to Korea, a country where the beauty of human skin is cultivated and is an integral part of the way of life.

Unlike Western technologies that use animal fats and chemical compositions, Korean cosmetics and household chemicals is environmentally safe. We can sing ode to Asian cosmetics for a long time, but the fact remains and it really works. Therefore, it becomes so popular! 

Asian cult of beautiful skin is close to any woman, no matter whether she is Korean, American or European. And if somewhere the beauty of the skin is built into cult and is an integral part of the way of life, then is it need to doubt the choice of cosmetics to care for your skin?

I would really want all girls to discover the world of Asian cosmetics. Believe me, we can learn a lot from those for whom the beauty of their skin is one of the main life goals.

Review MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream

And now it's time to talk about MISSHA M Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 PA+++. Missha is one of the most popular BB Creams in Korea. Most people who only get acquainted with Korean cosmetics buying this product. Why? As always and everywhere, primarily because of the mark of product.

Review Skin79 Super+ Beblesh Balm BB Cream Triple Function (Pink Label)

So today let's talk about famous Korean BB Cream Skin79 Super+ Beblesh Balm (Pink).
I have to say it's one of the best Korean BB that I ever tried.

At first, it has a Spf30 PA++ (old version: Spf25 PA++) what is really comfortable for girls with sensitive skin.

Tone of Pink is gray-beige like in most Korean BB. At the same time there was no gray and unhealthy undertones on the face, on the contrary this BB perfectly adapts to my complexion, whether it is a pale "after winter" skin or summer tan.

Texture: thick cream with a light floral scent.

In order to distribute a very small amount on the face, the product is perfectly "stretched". Despite the dense texture the face is weightless, while the covering ability is great, my red chin looks perfect.

Skin79 Pink does not emphasize the dryness and peeling, but I'm in favor of fact that you just need a good moisturizing base or cream. I like to apply it with Promakeuplab Oil.
