Benefit - Hello Flawless Powder - Review

Hello Lovlies ! I thought I´d review my fave powder for you.It´s the Hello Flawless Powder by Benefit.
Hallo ihr lieben :) Ich habe mich entschieden eine Review über das Hello Flawless Powder von Benefit zu schreiben.

Firstly I wanted to point out the name , I mean , that´s the cutest name ever.The packaging is really cute from the outside and it has a big mirror in it so you can touch up even if you´re out .It´s quite expensive as it costs 35€/34$/ca.26pounds and it probaly isn´t in everyones budget , but it´s really worth the money.So coming to the important part now, the texture of this is of course powdery , but in a creamy way , so it won´t dry out your skin.It doesn´t stick to dry patches , wich is really useful because I tend to get dry patches all over my face sometimes.It lasts all day and there´s no need to touch up throughout the day.I have the shade "Honey" and it fits my skin tone perfectly.
Also erstmal muss ich sagen wie ich diesen Namen liebe, ich meine , dass ist so süß ♥ Die Verpackung ist wie bei allen Benefitprodukten super schön und auch praktisch. Das Puder beinhaltet auch einen Spiegel , sodass man sich immer auf dem Weg auffrischen kann.Das Puder ist etwas teuer(35€) , aber die Qualität ist hervorragend und man bekommt für sein Geld auch einige Sachen geboten.Die Textur ist natürlich pudrig , aber auf eine cremige Weise , sodass es nicht die Gesichtshaut austrocknet und auch nicht an trockenen Stellen klebt.Es hält den ganzen Tag , sodass man über den Tag nicht wiederholt nachschminken muss. Ich habe den Ton "Honey" und es passt perfekt zu meinem Gesichtston.
Shade "Honey"
If you´re unsure about the shade you can ask the  shop assistans, because they are all so nice and helpful .I always love to go there and just talk to them about make up , it´s always fun going there.
I would recommend this product to everyone as it is the perfect powder for everyday use.
I hope this was helpful <3 Isabella
Falls du dir unsicher über die Farbe für deinen Hautton bist , kannst du bei einem Benefitstand eine der Assistentinen fragen, da diese meistens sehr entgegenkommend und freundlich sind.
Ich empfehle jedem dieses Produkt , da ich sehr davon überzeugt bin.Ich  hoffe dieser Post war hilfreich ♡ Isabella

Mac Concelear Comparison - Pro Longwear vs. Select Cover-up

Hello lovlies ! So today I´m going to compare the pro longwer concelear and select cover-up concelear by mac.Firstly I want to tell you what I expect from a concelear : it should be moisturissing , it should be medium to full coverage (as my undereye circles are often really dark), and it shouldn´t crease.
select cover-up (left) pro longwear (right)
The select cover- up concelear was my first mac concelear ever so I really used it to death until I noticed that it was making my skin really dry so I went to the mac store and they sold me the pro longwear concelear wich is a lot more moisturising than the select cover.The select cover has light to medium coverage and it isn´t really buildable.I apply it with the finger, at first sight , I thought that I´d have to use tons of it ,because it is in such a small tube and has a really small opening, but you just have to apply a tiny bit on your finger and it melts onto your skin as you apply it.A big issue of this is,that it´s really dry and also sticks to dry patches so it isn´t really working for me,but I think it would be great for people who have quite oily skin.
20euros/18$/15pounds










The pro longwear is really moisturising and has medium to high coverage.
20euros/18$/15pounds
The little glass bottle has a pump, wich is really unpractical as there comes out so much and it is really uncontrolable so that you will end up having enough concelear for a whole face,when you pump once.My solution for that problem is,that I just wipe the rest that I don´t need into the lid and use is the next day,because I love that concelear too much ,to stop using it just because of this issue.

really dirty, but well loved <3
 It is really easy to apply with a small foundation brush or with the finger, I use the small foundation brush by zoeva to aplly it.It blends in perfectly and it doesn´t crease.
If I had to choose I´d always choose the pro longwear concelear,as it just fits my needs perfectly,but I also think that the select cover-up concelear has it´s benefits , just not for me.So if you´re looking for a lightweight concelear with light coverage, go for the select cover-up , but if you´re looking for a high to medium coverage concelear that´s a bit more dewy go for the pro longwear .
I hope this was helpful <3 Isabella

Bourjois-Colour Boost Lip Crayon

Hello Lovlies :) Today I´m going to do a tiny review about my well loved lip crayon by Bourjois.



I have the colour ´Plum Russian´ as the name already tells it´s a plum shade and it´s quite dark with a red tone in it.
Plum Russian / without sun


Plum Russian / in the sun / you can see the gloss effect that it has

The packaging is really practical but nothing special.You can turn  the little silver part at the end of the crayon so that there will come out the rest of the pen.The Lip crayon/gloss claims to last 10h,to be waterproof and to have spf 15 wich I personnaly don´t unterstand because I don´t think that your lips will get burned by the sun.However I don´t think that it lasts 10h, as it is really glossy, but it holds long enough to go out at least 5h  and there won´t be the need to touch it up.I think the pigmentation is amazing for the price (11euros/ca.8pounds) and the texture is also amazing because it is moisturising without being sticky and it feels really lightweight onthe lips so it´s perfect for warmer days in spring and summer.
I would recommend this product to everyone who is searching for a lightweight glossy stain for summer , but this isn´t the most summery shade so you should take a look at the other colours maybe.
