Get Ready With Me - Temporary Hair Transformations

L’Oreal Paris La Belle Famille beauty panel always helps me to get my best look. This time they sent me two hair colourants which I can combine to get my best look.

I start my hair care routine with L’Oreal Magic Retouch Instant Grey Concealer Brush and finish with L’Oreal Colorista Hair Makeup Shimmers in copper gold colour.

My grey hair is quite a big problem for me. I have few scattered greys and one bigger patch. I started to dye my hair because my greys but I need something to hide my greys between two hair colouring. I am pleased, I have found L’Oreal Magic Retouch Instant Grey Concealer Brush. It takes me only 5 minutes after each hair washing to get back my young looking hair. 

The colour lasts until shampooed out. This colour does not stains skin, easy to remove with water. The precision brush is very handy, it is rather a mini comb. After catching greys with the mini comb I use my normal comb to distribute the colour evenly. Really quick and easy operation, it is even quicker than applying mascara. Anyway L’Oreal Magic Retouch exactly looks like a mascara. It is easy to carry in handbags or makeup bags. I can have it with me everywhere.

I am a brunette but from time to time I like to have some bold strands without long lasting highlights. I just would like to make a change for one evening. Luckily L’Orealsells hair make-up, which completely fades in one shampoo. This range have been made for brunettes only. Lucky me! This shimmery copper gold colour is beautiful. I apply it in good amount with my fingertips without gloves. It absolutely does not strain the skin – including nail beds. I just wash my hands afterwards. I comb a little while still wet to help spread the colour evenly. This colour has a texture so do not over brush. For the perfect result combine L’Oreal Colorista Hair Makeup Shimmers with hairdos like loose plaits. One more thing! This product has delicious fragrance. 2-in-1 hair makeup and hair scent.

Bounce It!

I love to have big and beautiful curly hair but it is extremely hard to find the right hair care products, which preserve curls, long lasting, fights against humidity, controls frizz and enhance my hair’s natural shine. Luckily L’Oreal La Belle Famille panel sent me a bottle of Stylista – The Curl Tonic Hairstyling Spray to try out.

This product totally convinced me. L’Oreal Stylista has all of the attributes mentioned above. It is worth to try it out. It has a water-like consistency what I spray on my damp hair. I scrunch hair with my hands and use a diffuser to dry. L’Oreal Stylista dries quickly and the consistency is not sticky. So easy and pleasant to use, has even a nice fragrance. The result is always perfect, because Stylista does not weigh my hair down or make it frizzy. My curls look natural because this product is alcohol-free. Hair styling is an enjoyment with Stylista. Even updos are easier to style and hold perfectly.

Quick Skin Fixes

L’Oreal test panel, La Belle Famille sent me some essential make-up products to try just in right time. Around Christmas I often struggle to find enough time to make a perfect make-up and also remove it properly after a long and stressful day. L’Oreal Infallible range is the best solution for busy and tired ladies. It helps to hide tiredness, it is long lasting and easy to remove with cleansing milk and toner. My favourite cleansers are Fine Flowers by L’Oreal.

I love to use primers, those clever products play extremely important part in my daily make-up routine. If I do not have time to use foundation I just put on some Anti Fatigue Infallible Primer. It contains apricot pigments to hide dullness and fatigue. The colour of my face livens up and I look like somebody, who got 9 hours good night’s sleep. Anti Fatigue Infallible Primer has a light colour so I do not need to use any extra foundation, but of course, I can, if I want.

Mattify is L’Oreal’s best Infallible Primer to wear underneath my foundation. It looks like a light cream and I have to use it in very thin layer with my fingertips. It absorbs excess oil and hides enlarged pores. Brilliant product. With Mattifying Infallible Primer my foundation holds longer and do not become shiny.

There are 3 more finishes in L’Oreal Infallible Primer range:

-Luminizing with-ultra fine pearl pigments to enhance the complexion

-AntiRedness with green micro pigments to neutralise red tones

-Pore Refining to hide skin imperfections

L’Oreal Infallible Blush Stick always helps me to look better and full of energy, even after a long night. I use Nude in a Rose, and this colour looks so natural on me. I use it every day, because it is just a second to put on and holds perfectly during the whole day. This creamy, super-blendable formula is extremely easy and mess free to use. I swear, Infallible Blush and Strobe Sticks are L’Oreal’s best make-up products. I am so glad, I gave it a try.

L’Oreal Infallible Shaping Stick Foundation is super versatile. I can use this ultra-creamy, no compromise formula as a foundation, a concealer or to highlight and contour. There are 12 colour to choose from and make perfect YouTube make-up star videos.

I always have my rose beige stick in my handbag for quick makeup fixes. I think, the best attribution of Infallible Shaping Sticks is that these help me to achieve shine-free look, without using any extra layer of powder. I love quick make-up solutions especially when I am short in time.

Can I Mention The C Word?

Christmas is already around the corner. I love to wear different make-up during Christmas holidays. I love to apply something sparkly and shiny, matching our Christmas Tree. This year I will wear gold! L’Oreal La Belle Famille review panel sent me some exciting new make-up products to try. Since I have Mahogany – Henna hair colour I love to apply warmer colours. Gold matches my hair colour perfectly.

Have a Merry Metal Christmas with my favourite L’Oreal make-up products.

L’Oreal Paris Glow Drops

This is an absolutely must have product. I use it as a highlighter on my cheeks, nose and chin. This highlighting fluid makes me look younger. My face looks firmer because the light sparkle. It is amazing. I apply only a very little drop with my precious Infallible Blush Brush or pat lightly with my fingers. Application is really quick and easy. I can fit it perfectly into my morning routine. Glow Drops have non greasy and light consistency. You can even mix with your foundation to have some extra firm look.

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Metallic Eye Liner

This Ultra Precision Super Liner is ultra-precise. It has very thin brush so perfect lining is very easy. I must buy one in black as well, this will solve all my lining and eyewinging problems. This light gold colour surprisingly highlights my eyes. I thought this colour is invisible on eye lids, but I had a very positive disappointment. My eyes are bigger and bolder with Infallible Metallic Eye Liner. The colour is decent, absolutely appropriate for everyday wear. This ultra-pigmented gold glitter liner does not smudge and lasts all day.

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Metallic Lip Paints

I hesitated quite long time between two colours: Lolita or Pixie. I am very happy I choose the gold Lolita. This colour goes so well with my hair colour. I love to wear it in light layer during the day or I apply some extra layers for more metallic look when I go out. Infallible Metallic Lip Paint has non sticky liquid consistency and ultra-saturated, longwearing formula. The colour does not fade or smudge during the day. Infallible Metallic Lip Paint gives me a confidence.

Paradise Kajal

L’Oreal Paris La Belle Famille beauty panel surprised me with Paradise Kajal 3 in 1 pencil. They have it in two colours: black and white. I tried and review Paradise Kajal black.

First I was surprised because this product is thicker than usual eye pencils. It has rather a cone not a slim tip. I thought it could be a little bit difficult to use but I was totally wrong. Paradise Kajal is extremely easy to use to draw perfect eye wings, dramatic lines and even shadows. I can even recommend for inexperienced, beginner make-up users. If you would like to purchase only one eye pencil for every occasions, L’Oreal Paradise 3 in 1 Kajal is designed for you. Holiday make-up bags must contain this versatile beauty product.

Paradise Kajal has a long, chunky tip – no more carving, no more mess, no more broken tip. This tip carves itself whilst using, because has three ways to use.

1.   Eyeliner: with the side of the tip apply a thin line

2.   Kohl: use the tip of the cone and smudge it with your fingertips if needed

3. Eyeshadow: using the side of the tip draw a thick line and blend it with your fingers or a brush

All of the methods above are very easy to apply, because Paradise Kajal 3 in 1 is ultra-creamy and ultra-pigmented. Drawing one line is enough to have a perfect finish.

Elnett Satin

Spring is here so I prefer to spend more time outside. The weather is quite windy nowadays but I do not like to have messy and frizzy hair. My solution is L’Oreal Paris Elnett Satin hair mousse and hairspray. La Belle Famille product review panel helped me to find these reliable hair styling products and sent me L’Oreal Paris Elnett Glam Waves Mousse and Elnett Glam Waves Supreme Hold Hairspray to try.

I use these products together daily:

I start with Elnett Glam Waves Mousse on my towel dried hair before blow dry. The consistency is nice and creamy. Totally prevents from frizz and leaves my hair soft and easy to manageable. My hair is bouncy & wavy and soft to touch. I love the light perfumed fragrance and light consistency.

I use Elnett Glam Waves Supreme Hold Hairspray after hair styling. I just prevent my hair style from wind with the help of Elnett Satin. I love the light fragrance and ultra-fine consistency. This product does not leave my hair sticky or my scalp greasy. Elnett Glam Waves Supreme Hold Hairspray is really light but holds strongly. It even protects my hair with Amla Oil extracts. This new formula helps me to have good hair day every day. I love my shiny and healthy waves.

Hydra Genius

I am so pleased that skin care industry focuses on hydration nowadays. L’Oreal Paris launched their first daily rehydrating liquid care for dry and sensitive skin. Thanks to La Belle Famille product test panel I have got a full size product to try and review.

Full size means a 70ml big bottle, because you are advised to use the product daily two times. The first impression was more than positive because L’Oreal Paris Hydra Genius Aloe Water comes in glass bottle with a pump. I love glass bottled and heavy skin care product – it means higher quality for me and love to see myself to use them. Pump is fantastic as well because it is clean; no mess; cream never goes under your nails. I am impressed with turquoise colour too. This bottle looks extremely high quality.

After examining the packaging I cannot wait to try the cream. L’Oreal Paris Hydra Genius Aloe Water has very pleasant fragrance – nice light Aloe Vera scent. It contains Aloe Vera Sap which helps maintain skin’s water reserves, rich in minerals and perfect moisturiser. The second most important ingredient is Hyaluronic Acid which founds naturally in the skin and can hold 1,000 times its weight in water. Summarising in one sentence, L’Oreal Paris Hydra Genius Aloe Water hydrates the skin (thanks Aloe Vera) and locks-in moisture for 72 hours (thanks extra Hyaluronic Acid). Do not worry, it cannot overload the skin. It is the chemistry behind this fantastic product and my experiences say the same: Yes, it works! My skin is so soft, healthy and hydrated. Anyway I have dry and sensitive skin. I should be very careful with skin care. But L’Oreal ParisHydra Genius Aloe Water pampers my skin. It absorbs very quickly because it has light water based consistency and one pump is totally enough to treat my face and neck.

Fine Flowers

I have dry and sensitive skin so finding the perfect face cleanser is one of the biggest challenge for me. Cleansers usually contain ingredients like tea tree, eucalyptus to achieving the best result. These ingredients work perfectly on normal skin and are absolute necessities for oily skin types. But dry and sensitive skin becomes flaky, itchy and even fine lines and wrinkles appear. Sometimes I should stop to use my new cleanser after first use, because my skin feels extremely uncomfortable.

L’Oreal’s new Fine Flowers cleansing range is for dry & sensitive skin. La Belle Famille panel sent me a cleanser milk and toner to try and review.

FineFlowers cleansing range contains Rose and Jasmine. These natural ingredients are perfect on dry and sensitive skin. Rose has soothing and comforting properties. Jasmine moisturises and protects.

I start with Fine Flowers cleansing milk to remove my makeup and any dirt from my pores. One pump is enough to clean my face and neck. I apply this gentle and soft milk with my fingers and massage my face and neck to help remove any daily impurities. You can apply it gently with a cotton pad. Do not rub your face, this fantastic milk removes everything softly. I love the light consistency and nice light floral fragrance. My skin is soft and clean and the most important: hydrated.

After cleaning my face with Fine Flowers Milk I wipe my face and neck with Fine Flowers Toner. This product is better as other toners because it has thicker consistency. It is easier to apply on a cotton pad. Leaking or applying too much liquid is impossible. Fine Flowers Toner has nice floral fragrance as well.

After cleaning my totally clean looking face I am always wondering how dirty the cotton pad becomes. It is very important to clean your face every evening and morning before applying your moisturisers and serums. Creams cannot absorb and impact when there are impurities in pores.

L’Oreal Fine Flowers Milk and Toner leaves my skin perfectly hydrated and soft so I can concentrate on wrinkle elimination and youth activation. I can put on youth serums before bed and do not need to worry about extra hydration. Of course I wake up with better looking and younger looking face.

Matte is More

L’Oreal Paris La Belle Famille review panel treated me with two full size lipsticks, because they know I am crazy about lip sticks.

I have got two lipsticks from the Color Riche Matte Addiction range to try. Yeah these are so addictive!

I have light blue eyes so my first choice was colour 101 Candy Stiletto. I love to use pink make up because it harmonises with my naturally pale colours. I love Candy Stiletto it is bold and notable but only in good way. I am happy to use this colour with my everyday makeup. I love this lipstick because it is enriched with camelia oil and moisturises my dry lips. Color Riche Candy Stiletto is very comfortable to wear and it is long lasting. Pure soft pigments ensure intense and crack free colour. I love to use this lipstick even on my cheeks instead of blusher when I am in hurry. I use lighter colours during winter months and reds on my naturally tanned face.

Plum also harmonises with my blue eye. I used lots of deep purple and plum colours in my teenage years so I feel using Color Riche Matte Addiction Plum Tuxedo (463) a little bit nostalgic. I am very happy with my colour choice. Plum Tuxedo is mostly my party lipstick because it has perfect, bold and dark coverage. I mix it with a lip balm for lighter colour at daytime.

L’Oreal Color Riche Matte Addiction lipstick cases look so good and sophisticated I was in love with them at first sight.

How to create the perfect matte pout:

-Exfoliate your lips for a smooth finish before applying lip colour

-Apply a matching Color Riche lipliner to define your lip shape (on my shopping list)

-Apply Color Riche Matte Addiction all over the lips – for the best result use lip brush
