Effettivamente ci sono da un bel po', ma nel caso non ne abbiate approfittato o nel caso ne vogliate approfittare nuovamente, sono in arrivo un po' di recensioni Madina che magari vi potranno aiutare coi vostri acquisti.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ovviamente vi suggerisco di guardare anche le precedenti recensioni del marchio e i look creati con i prodotti Madina, &lt;a href="http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/search/label/Madina"&gt;cliccando qui&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Dr20LmFmD8/TzbIm14CDHI/AAAAAAAACCw/xEcbPqoK2yI/s1600/SDC14501.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Dr20LmFmD8/TzbIm14CDHI/AAAAAAAACCw/xEcbPqoK2yI/s320/SDC14501.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Oggi vi parlerò del &lt;b&gt;mascara Nutrilash&lt;/b&gt;, uno dei mascara di punta di questo marchio, parte della linea Revolution.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Questa è la descrizione che trovate sul sito: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il più potente mix di attivi completamente naturali danno alle tue  ciglia tutto quello che desiderano per oltre 16 ore di tenuta! + lunghe,  dense e folte del 27% grazie agli estratti di alghe laminarie che ne  stimolano la crescita. + incurvate e liftate grazie al Lash Lifting  Agent. + forti e protette del 62% con la sinergia del Bio-Hydra Mineral  complex e di oligosaccaridi dal fiore di cotone. +lucide grazie a  polimeri lipidici naturali. (LOVE) FACTOR il primo applicatore sferico  di fibre permette di raggiungere ogni ciglio con effetto ventaglio!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cosa ne penso io?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La &lt;b&gt;formula &lt;/b&gt;di questo mascara è fantastica. All'inizio è molto liquida, quindi bisogna fargli prendere un pochino d'aria con l'utilizzo, ma la formula è davvero &lt;b&gt;eccezionale&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Resiste veramente molte ore senza far cadere quegli orribili pezzettini/residui neri (nemmeno se vi grattate gli occhi!) ed è anche vero che incurva e allunga parecchio le ciglia. Per quanto riguarda il volume, su di me non ho notato risultati eccezionali, direi mediamente buoni, però.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il colore è un bel nero pieno; le ciglia restano morbide, come se fossero naturalmente colorate e questo fa sì che si possa ripassare il mascara anche dopo che si è seccato (per ritoccare il trucco o per passare dalla mattina alla sera) senza fare orribili grumi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Una cosa decisamente positiva e &lt;b&gt;innovativa &lt;/b&gt;di questo mascara.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bla8gj2S7Ic/TzbJe6rkrBI/AAAAAAAACC4/SwJoXB5cgDk/s1600/SDC14503.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bla8gj2S7Ic/TzbJe6rkrBI/AAAAAAAACC4/SwJoXB5cgDk/s320/SDC14503.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;in questa foto il mascara non era ancora stato usato per la prima volta, quindi lo scovolino era pieno zeppo di prodotto.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ma cos'è che non mi piace di questo mascara&lt;/b&gt; (sì, molto marzullianamente mi faccio le domande e mi rispondo da sola)&lt;b&gt;?&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lo scovolino&lt;/b&gt;. Il famoso applicatore sferico che dovrebbe acchiappare le ciglia una ad una e dare l'effetto ventaglio...è uno stress unico! Io non riesco assolutamente ad usarlo al meglio: mi sporco tutta la palpebra, sia quella mobile che quella fissa e quindi non riesco mai ad usare questo mascara quando metto l'ombretto. Il fatto è che questo applicatore &lt;b&gt;è troppo grande&lt;/b&gt;! Non è tanto la pallina ad essere scomoda, ma la dimensione della pallina, perlomeno secondo me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per quanto mi riguarda questo vanifica tutti gli sforzi fatti per creare la formulazione del mascara, che di per sé è davvero ottima.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nutrilash mascara è in vendita presso tutti i negozi monomarca Madina in Italia e sul loro &lt;a href="http://www.madina.it/"&gt;sito ufficiale&lt;/a&gt; a &lt;b&gt;€ 20,00&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;i&gt;Attualmente&lt;/i&gt;, però, &lt;i&gt;è in saldo sul loro sito con una riduzione del 30%, quindi € 14,00&lt;/i&gt;. Se volete provarlo, mi sembra davvero il periodo ideale per acquistarlo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;E voi che lo avete già provato, ditemi: solo io non riesco ad usare l'applicatore del Nutrilash?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Oppure dobbiamo chiedere tutte in coro a Madina di cambiarlo?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;In quest'ultimo caso, quale suggerimento avreste per migliorarlo? &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6677173460035712032-1324343004876661750?l=aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/feeds/1324343004876661750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-madina-nutrilash-mascara.html#comment-form' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/1324343004876661750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/1324343004876661750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2012/02/review-madina-nutrilash-mascara.html' title='Review: Madina Nutrilash Mascara'/><author><name>Lydia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10221600051462988749</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yug_jRotQOg/TCG4tyuauZI/AAAAAAAABAU/UVJiG0bxw9o/S220/SDC11623.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Dr20LmFmD8/TzbIm14CDHI/AAAAAAAACCw/xEcbPqoK2yI/s72-c/SDC14501.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677173460035712032.post-5204691509913274618</id><published>2012-02-08T00:35:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2012-02-09T10:15:16.010+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='clinique'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='skincare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='review'/><title type='text'>Review: Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQfHX6pPKjVS_1PNEyIYqNLCiq2th5c5kt6VqBLUY1jQrs-uNREbg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQfHX6pPKjVS_1PNEyIYqNLCiq2th5c5kt6VqBLUY1jQrs-uNREbg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This name should be in the back of every beauty junkie's head, as it is the second step to the famous (and highly debated) 3-Step Skin Care System patented by Clinique.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Now, while the concept behind the 3-Step System is commonly known, some of you may not know that its second phase, consisting in a sweep over the face with Clarifying Lotion makes a huge difference compared to your usual "after cleansing tonic" action. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;On the other hand, those of you who are familiar with Clarifying Lotion and have used in the past may recall that &lt;b&gt;it is not a tonic at all.&lt;/b&gt; In fact, I am pretty sure a lot of you got to the point where I got: you got your skin burnt from using it. Yes, you did read what you read: burnt!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Questo nome non dovrebbe suonar nuovo se siete appassionate di bellezza, visto che questo prodotto corrisponde alla seconda fase del celebre (e molto dibattuto) Sistema di Cura della Pelle a 3 Fasi ideato e brevettato da Clinique.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ora, benché il concetto del 3 Fasi è largamente noto, alcune di voi potrebbero non sapere che la sua seconda fase, che consiste in una "passata" di Clarifying Lotion su tutto il viso ha una grossa differenza rispetto all'azione di un qualsiasi tonico per così dire "normale".&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;D'altro canto però, chi di voi già conosce Clarifying Lotion e l'ha usata in passato, dovrebbe ricordarsi che questo prodotto &lt;b&gt;non è propriamente un tonico&lt;/b&gt;. Infatti, sono quasi certa che molte di voi si siano ritrovate nelle mie stesse condizioni, ossia ad avere la pelle bruciata per l'uso di questo prodotto. E sì, avete letto bene: bruciata!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Clinique Clarifying Lotion is, in fact, an &lt;b&gt;exfoliating liquid lotion&lt;/b&gt;. It contains a high percentage of alcohol, therefore, you should be thoroughly taught how to use this product.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Clinique Clarifying Lotion, infatti, è una &lt;b&gt;lozione liquida esfoliante&lt;/b&gt;. Contiene un'alta percentuale di alcool, e pertanto occorre che vi si istruisca bene su come usare il prodotto in questione. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Just so you know, before I get to the actual review, Clinique &lt;b&gt;improved the formulation&lt;/b&gt; by &lt;b&gt;reducing the percentage of alcohol&lt;/b&gt; last year (if I remember correctly, it was exactly one year ago that they reformulated it! - happy birthday, new C.L.!) so no, &lt;b&gt;you are not going to get burnt anymore&lt;/b&gt;, but you do need to be carefully advised on what your lotion number is, as there is one for each skin type, and they all interact with your skin type differently.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I did notice the change in the formulation, having tried the "classic one" and the new one, and I can testify to the fact that the latter is much more gentle and easy to use.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;A titolo informativo, prima che passi a recensire il prodotto, vi dico che Clinique ha &lt;b&gt;migliorato la formulazione&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;riducendo la percentuale di alcool &lt;/b&gt;proprio lo scorso anno (e se ben ricordo è stato proprio un anno fa! - buon compleanno, C.L.!) quindi, non temete: &lt;b&gt;non vi brucerete più&lt;/b&gt;, ma dovete stare comunque attente e farvi consigliare bene su quale numero di lozione siete, dato che ne esiste una per ogni tipo di pelle, e che ognuna interagisce in modo diverso con ogni tipologia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Io ho notato la differenza della riformulazione, avendo provato sia la "classica" che la lozione nuova, e posso testimoniare che l'ultima è molto più delicata e facile da usare.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;So, how should you use it?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;You have to pour a bit onto a cotton ball, and &lt;b&gt;sweep it over your face only once and in one direction for each part of your face&lt;/b&gt;. Do not go over an area you had previously used this lotion on more than once. It will "burn".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;With this product, less is more. You don't need to pour 1 gallon onto your cotton ball.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;One thing you have to bear in mind (and I cannot stress this enough) is that you need to use the correct lotion for your skin type. If you do not trust your local shop assistant's opinion (I totally understand that), go to the Clinique website and take the test to find out what your skin type (in their numbering) is, and take it from there.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I did that, and I found out I have a dry to combination skin, which in their numbering is 2, and the lotion I am using works wonders for me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;E dunque, come bisogna usarla?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Bisogna versarne un pochetto su un batuffolo di cotone e passarlo sul viso &lt;b&gt;una sola volta ed in una sola direzione per ogni parte del viso&lt;/b&gt;. Non ripassate su un'area in cui avevate già usato il prodotto. Brucerà.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Con questo prodotto è decisamente meglio essere parsimoniosi. Infondo, non avete bisogno di metterne un litro sul batuffolo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Una cosa che dovete tenere bene a mente (e mi sembra importante ripeterlo) è che bisogna trovare il tipo di lozione giusto per il vostro tipo di pelle. Se non vi fidate della commessa del negozio (e vi capisco!), andate sul sito della Clinique e fate il test per scoprire quale tipologia di pelle (nella loro numerazione) siete e continuate da lì.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Io l'ho fatto ed ho scoperto di avere una pelle da secca a mista, che nella loro numerazione è la tipologia 2 e la lozione che ho funziona perfettamente. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Ok, but what will Clarifying Lotion do, once I learn how to use it?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It will &lt;b&gt;control your excess oil&lt;/b&gt;. It will &lt;b&gt;exfoliate daily and gently,&lt;/b&gt; taking away the dead cells sitting on the surface of your skin, allowing the re-generation process to begin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Most importantly, it will even out your skin and &lt;b&gt;drastically reduce the appearance of your pores&lt;/b&gt; without clogging them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;D'accordo, ma che effetti ha Clarifying Lotion, una volta che si è in grado di usarla correttamente?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Controllerà l'oleosità in eccesso&lt;/b&gt;. &lt;b&gt;Esfolierà delicatamente e giornalmente&lt;/b&gt; la vostra pelle, rimuovendo le cellule morte che restano sulla superficie della pelle, in modo da favorire il processo di rigenerazione.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ma la cosa più importante e visibile è che &lt;b&gt;uniformerà la grana della pelle e ridurrà la visibilità dei pori&lt;/b&gt; senza ostruirli. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I personally cannot recommend this product enough, as it contributed to improve the appearence of my skin a lot during the past year.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;It is easily accessible everywhere, and it retails for &lt;b&gt;15 euros I believe, for 200ml&lt;/b&gt;. You may think it is a lot, but I can assure you, if you use it properly - both morning and evening - it will last you almost a year. As I said, less is more with it, so on the long run you're saving money.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Personalmente non posso che raccomandare il prodotto, visto che ha contribuito a migliorare la mia pelle durante l'ultimo anno.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;E' facilmente accessibile ovunque e costa, se non sbaglio, una &lt;b&gt;quindicina di euro per 200ml&lt;/b&gt;. Forse penserete che sia troppo, ma vi posso assicurare che, se usato bene, anche due volte al giorno (mattina e sera) vi durerà quasi un anno. Come ho già detto, è meglio usare parsimonia e nel lungo raggio, sicuramente avrete risparmiato dei soldi. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Obviously, this is my personal opinion of the Clarifying Lotion 2, but bear in mind I cannot speak for other skin types and how they react to it. My best advice is get a sample, and look for reviews online. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ovviamente queste sono le mie opinioni personali sulla Clarifying Lotion 2, e tenete bene a mente che non posso parlare per gli altri tipi di pelle e la loro reazione a questo prodotto. Il mio consiglio è quello di procurarsene un campione e di guardare recensioni online prima di un eventuale acquisto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Have you tried this product? What do you think of the new formula?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Have you tried the other products from the range? What are your thoughts on them?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;[I feel I have to clarify this, but I do not like the other steps. This is the only one I like and recommend]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Avete provato questo prodotto? Cosa pensate della riformulazione?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Avete provato gli altri prodotti del 3 Fasi?

Ma vediamo nel dettaglio i prodotti di questa linea:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JkCS52-4tYs/Tx8wYuSXEPI/AAAAAAAACCQ/GJlKKtZYlEA/s1600/chocomania+PR+group+HR_INCHCRJ001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="228" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JkCS52-4tYs/Tx8wYuSXEPI/AAAAAAAACCQ/GJlKKtZYlEA/s320/chocomania+PR+group+HR_INCHCRJ001.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Esfoliante per il corpo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Crema doccia (o in alternativa le saponette a forma di cuore!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Idratante corpo - lozione leggera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Burro per il corpo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Burro per le labbra&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ed in occasione di San Valentino ci sono delle confezioni molto carine, che oltre a questi prodotti contengono un utilissimo guanto per l'esfoliazione (di cui avrei bisogno pure io, nel caso qualche Valentino stesse leggendo questo post...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3s64W6sZVAQ/Tx8xdqthrfI/AAAAAAAACCY/0FMHXoKH-Ks/s1600/Chocomania+Box+set+3+HR_INSSGRJ022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3s64W6sZVAQ/Tx8xdqthrfI/AAAAAAAACCY/0FMHXoKH-Ks/s320/Chocomania+Box+set+3+HR_INSSGRJ022.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non è finita qui, perché dopo il successo di &lt;b&gt;White Musk Libertine&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;a href="http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-body-shop-white-musk-libertine.html"&gt;recensito qui&lt;/a&gt;), The Body Shop ha pensato bene di preparare una confezione di San Valentino anche per questa linea.

e non &lt;i&gt;de parfum&lt;/i&gt;), ha una boccetta senza grandi fronzoli che si può adattare benissmo alle vostre "esigenze di borsetta" (con tanto di tappo resistente!) ma anche graziosa e soprattutto ha un prezzo decisamente onesto: 15 euro per 30 ml.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solitamente è il profumo che ora porto con me nelle trasferte o durante le serate particolari, proprio per queste sue caratteristiche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decisamente consigliato per: le amanti del muschio bianco, le amanti dei profumi forti, le persone che amano pagare prezzi onesti per il vero valore delle cose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E se vi piace questa fragranza, sappiate che The Body Shop ha un'intera linea di White Musk Libertine, compresa di simpatiche confezioni regalo con tanti prodotti ad un prezzo accettabilissimo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Chi di voi ha provato questo profumo?

If anything, they can be like your colored primer for powder eyeshadow.&lt;br /&gt;They are generally creamy (well...they're cream eyeshadows) and soft; they apply smoothly with both fingers and brushes (best if you use a flat synthetic one and pat); and they blend easily (again, synthetic blender would be best).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Come potete vedere, i Creaseless Cream sono ombretti in crema che, come ci suggerisce&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;il loro nome, non faranno le pieghette sugli occhi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;E questo è vero: una volta che si asciugano, stanno lì e non si muovono, non fanno pieghette anche senza bisogno di un primer. Anzi, magari possono fare loro da base colorata per l'ombretto in polvere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Generalmente sono cremosi (ma va?! è crema) e soffici, si applicano bene&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;sia con le dita che con il pennello (è meglio usare un pennello sintetico a lingua di gatto e tamponare),&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;e si sfumano facilmente (nuovamente, raccomando un pennello da sfumatura sintetico).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_zRvaVID_eA/TxIO76pmBzI/AAAAAAAACAU/mMkZxjTNivE/s1600/SDC14570.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_zRvaVID_eA/TxIO76pmBzI/AAAAAAAACAU/mMkZxjTNivE/s320/SDC14570.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Stiletto, pictured on the right, is a shimmer (not frost, not metallic) burgundy color, a bit on the purple side.&lt;br /&gt;Check&lt;b&gt; &lt;a href="http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2012/01/stiletto-fotd.html"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, if you want to see how it looks on the eyes.&lt;br /&gt;It is basically one of those colors that will suit pretty much anybody's eyes: on green, blue, and hazel eyes they will emphasize the color; on brown eyes, they will provide depht and warmth.&lt;br /&gt;Beware, though: use an appropriate highlighter (something with a bit of golden shimmers) and good under-eye concealer, or it will make your eyes appear tired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Stiletto, a destra nella fotografia è uno shimmer (non frost, non metallizzato) di colore vinaccia, un po' tendente al viola.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Controllate &lt;a href="http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2012/01/stiletto-fotd.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;questo post &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;se lo volete vedere in azione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Praticamente, è uno di quei colori che stanno bene a tutti: sugli occhi verdi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;blu, e nocciola, enfatizzerà il colore; sugli occhi marroni conferirà profondità e un po' di "calore".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Attente, però, ad usare un illuminante appropriato (qualcosa con i riflessi dorati) e un buon correttore anti-occhiaie,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;o vi farà sembrare gli occhi stanchi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Overall, I think this is really a valuable product as its application is fast and will last throughout the day. Furthermore, it can be used as a liner (although, I think the color is too subtle for my tastes)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; or as a colored base, so it's multi-purpose.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The only downside is its price: I paid this 19 euros in Germany, so it is very very pricey.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;In generale, penso davvero sia un prodotto di valore, visto che la sua applicazione è rapida e dura tutto il giorno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Inoltre, può essere usato anche come eyeliner (anche se penso che, in questo modo, il colore diventi un po' troppo chiaro)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;o come base colorata, quindi è un 3-in-1.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;L'unica pecca è il prezzo: io l'ho pagato 19 euro in Germania, quindi è molto molto costoso.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tip: make sure you screw the lid tight after use, as you don't want them to dry. Remember, they are cream products!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Un consiglio: assicuratevi di avvitare benissimo il tappo dopo l'uso, perché potrebbero seccarsi. Ricordatevi, sono prodotti cremosi!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Reperibilità in Italia: Sephora. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6677173460035712032-8532914412773478877?l=aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/feeds/8532914412773478877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-benefit-creaseless-cream.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/8532914412773478877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/8532914412773478877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-benefit-creaseless-cream.html' title='Review: Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/liner in Stiletto with swatches'/><author><name>Lydia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10221600051462988749</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yug_jRotQOg/TCG4tyuauZI/AAAAAAAABAU/UVJiG0bxw9o/S220/SDC11623.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sZeVR6EM74o/TxINDXeKoaI/AAAAAAAAB_0/cGeizem5_Zw/s72-c/SDC14565.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677173460035712032.post-3738448985434017418</id><published>2012-01-15T10:48:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T10:48:03.150+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Coming Soon on this blog</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;This week, you will be reading some reviews of Illamasqua and Benefit products, namely Pure Pigments, Cream Pigments, Rubberized nail polishes, Freak fragrance, Creaseless Cream eyeshadows, and finally They're Real mascara.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Questa settimana leggerete delle recensioni Illamasqua e Benefit, precisamente su&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Pure Pigments, Cream Pigments, gli smalti Rubberized, il profumo Freak,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;i Creaseless Cream - ombretti in crema, ed infine il mascara They're Real.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, I made a list of the upcoming post.&lt;br /&gt;Tell me, which ones should I do first?

I will make-up for it in the new year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, my wish to you all (and to myself, actually) for the coming year is that everything you are working on hard, any project you have will actually come true. Anyone of you who is currently unemployed, may they find a job; any student who is working hard towards getting their education properly, may they get what they deserve for their efforts; anyone who is struggling for something, may they find a solution and solace at last. Freedom of movement, of expression, and of choice, is my ultimate wish to you all for this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, I also feel like thanking you all for your support with regards to my blog in 2011, nevertheless the hard times I've been through, and the not so frequent posts. Thank you for still taking the time to read my ramblings, commenting, sharing the love, and for subscribing to anyone who's new here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a more frivolous note, what will you do tonight? I know the evening will start in just a few hours for some, and just in case you still don't know how to do your make-up for tonight, I will gather here all my favourite tutorials for New Year's Eve make-up ideas. Hope it will be helpful to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much love, and freedom to the people, as usual ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lyd-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Ergo, this product is target for people like me: combination skin (normal with bad occasional breakouts and dilated pores), acne prone, acne scarred, but not suitable anymore for treatments that dry my skin out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Blemish + Age Defense&lt;/b&gt;, contenuto in un flacconcino da 30 ml dotato di contagocce, è un&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;siero dalla consistenza viscosa che si applica ogni mattina e sera per aiutare a &lt;b&gt;ridurre le imperfezioni&lt;/b&gt; e &lt;b&gt;prevenire&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;gli effetti di invecchiamento causati dai raggi U&lt;/b&gt;V.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Questo prodotto è mirato alle persone che, nonostante in età adulta, ancora soffrono di sfoghi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;o hanno problemi di controllo del sebo, ma che allo stesso tempo hanno le&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;necessità tipiche di chi non ha più una pelle da adolescente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ergo, questo prodotto è mirato per persone come me: pelle mista (normale, con sfoghi occasionali e pori dilatati), prone all'acne, segnata dall'acne, ma non più adatta a trattamenti che possano seccare la pelle. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why has it changed my skin drastically? Well, after a &lt;b&gt;little over a month of usage&lt;/b&gt;, this serum has &lt;b&gt;reduced&lt;/b&gt; my &lt;b&gt;acne scarring&lt;/b&gt; (red marks) &lt;b&gt;by at least 80%&lt;/b&gt;. It has also &lt;b&gt;freed &lt;/b&gt;me of those ugly tiny &lt;b&gt;pimples &lt;/b&gt;I had been getting everyday for 13 years on my forehead, as well as &lt;b&gt;reduced &lt;/b&gt;the appearence of &lt;b&gt;pores &lt;/b&gt;on my cheeks. Moreover, the anti-aging ingredients have given me a gorgeous &lt;b&gt;luminosity &lt;/b&gt;without turning me into a grease ball, and also &lt;b&gt;reduced &lt;/b&gt;the appearence of some &lt;b&gt;fine lines&lt;/b&gt; you start to get when you're, alas, 27.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Perché mi ha cambiato drasticamente la pelle? Beh, dopo &lt;b&gt;poco più di un mese di utilizzo&lt;/b&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;questo siero ha &lt;b&gt;ridotto le mie cicatrici da acne&lt;/b&gt; (macchiacce rosse) &lt;b&gt;almeno dell'80%&lt;/b&gt;. Mi ha anche &lt;b&gt;liberata da&lt;/b&gt; quei minuscoli &lt;b&gt;brufoletti &lt;/b&gt;orrendi che mi sono ritrovata sulla fronte per 13 lunghi anni, ed ha pure &lt;b&gt;ridotto&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;l'apparenza dei &lt;b&gt;pori &lt;/b&gt;dilatati sulle guance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Inoltre, le sue proprietà anti-invecchiamento mi hanno donato una bellissima &lt;b&gt;luminosità&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;senza farmi sembrare una palla di grasso ed hanno anche &lt;b&gt;migliorato l'aspetto&lt;/b&gt; di qualche&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;lineetta &lt;/b&gt;che iniza a vedersi, ahimé, quando si raggiungono i 27. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the only downside is that this product is very very expensive (when I googled it, some online stores sold this for € 78,00!), but is indeed a valuable product that you need to take into consideration. I reached half the bottle today, and as I said, I have been using 6 drops of this every morning and evening for over a month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you tried this product?&lt;br /&gt;Are you going to try it or is the price just too expensive for you to even consider it? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ora, penso che l'unica pecca di questo prodotto sia il prezzo veramente alto&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;(quando l'ho cercato su google, alcuni negozi online lo vendevano per 78 €),&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;però è davvero un prodotto di gran valore che bisogna prendere in considerazione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Io ho raggiunto metà bottiglia oggi, come ho detto prima, e ne ho usate 6 gocce ogni mattina ed ogni sera per più di un mese.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;E voi, lo avete provato?

Oh, holy Spirit of Time, help me out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ah, le adorabili ragazze di &lt;b&gt;Illamasqua &lt;/b&gt;hanno imparato a conoscermi davvero rapidamente:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ho bisogno di avere giornate più lunghe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Forse è per questo motivo che, tra tutti i &lt;b&gt;Pure Pigments&lt;/b&gt; della collezione &lt;b&gt;Theatre of the Nameless&lt;/b&gt;, hanno deciso di inviarmi proprio quello chiamato &lt;b&gt;Zeitgeist&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Oh, sacro Spirito del Tempo, aiutami tu!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8JiSEaxg4wo/TuaMlZWoCjI/AAAAAAAAB-o/epBXomRKJjc/s1600/Zeitgeist.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8JiSEaxg4wo/TuaMlZWoCjI/AAAAAAAAB-o/epBXomRKJjc/s320/Zeitgeist.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zeitgeist is a black shimmer loose pigment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Intense&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;shimmery &lt;/b&gt;but not metallic, this product has the most gorgeous &lt;b&gt;sparkles &lt;/b&gt;I've ever seen in a black. And I am not even a huge fan of black eyeshadows.&lt;br /&gt;The color pay-off of this pigment is pretty good when &lt;b&gt;dry&lt;/b&gt;, but it becomes &lt;b&gt;outstanding &lt;/b&gt;when you apply it &lt;b&gt;wet&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;This is definitely the black eyeshadow you want to use when you go out at night, or if you want to play with your make-up for more artistic works. &lt;br /&gt;The price is &lt;b&gt;£ 15,50&lt;/b&gt; but you get a whole lot of product that you will hardly ever finish unless you use it everyday or you're a professional make-up artist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zeitgeist &lt;/b&gt;è un pigmento libero di colore nero, finish shimmery.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Intenso&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;shimmery&lt;/b&gt;, ma non dal finish metallico, questo prodotto ha un &lt;b&gt;luccichìo &lt;/b&gt;meraviglioso. Il più bello che abbia mai visto in un pigmento nero. Ed io non sono nemmeno una grande fan dell'ombretto nero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;La scrivenza di questo pigmento è già buona quando è &lt;b&gt;asciutto&lt;/b&gt;, ma diventa sensazionale con l'applicazione &lt;b&gt;bagnata&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;E' decisamente il tipo di nero da usare quando si esce la notte or quando ci si vuole divertire un po' a fare dei&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;lavori un po' più artistici.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Il prezzo è di &lt;b&gt;£ 15,50&lt;/b&gt;, ma c'è così tanto prodotto che difficilmente si potrà finire&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;a meno che non lo usiate tutti i giorni o siate make-up artist professionisti. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s_YlMaW2G_0/TuaNWuDy3QI/AAAAAAAAB-w/EPijL4qE9OM/s1600/SDC14546.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s_YlMaW2G_0/TuaNWuDy3QI/AAAAAAAAB-w/EPijL4qE9OM/s320/SDC14546.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;top: wet; bottom: dry&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hRns04B_7DA/TuaNkuIOw3I/AAAAAAAAB-8/ko-25ky2GW4/s1600/SDC14544.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hRns04B_7DA/TuaNkuIOw3I/AAAAAAAAB-8/ko-25ky2GW4/s320/SDC14544.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;left: dry; right: wet&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PDLTFVPzNnY/TuaN1qOzjRI/AAAAAAAAB_E/UBt_-sNk4Ww/s1600/SDC14545.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PDLTFVPzNnY/TuaN1qOzjRI/AAAAAAAAB_E/UBt_-sNk4Ww/s320/SDC14545.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;natural l.ight&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come to the dark side!

Although, I'll admit it does alter a little in the product grace and presentation, so you'll have to excuse me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Morale &lt;/b&gt;è uno dei nuovi (relativamente ormai, diciamo l'ultimo arrivato in famiglia) &lt;b&gt;Shimmer Powder Blusher&lt;/b&gt;s,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;uscito nella collezione A/I 2011 &lt;b&gt;Theatre of the Nameles&lt;/b&gt;s dell'ormai celebre marchio britannico &lt;b&gt;Illamasqua&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;Ora, vi avviso che il mio blush si è spaccato in mille pezzi, ma questo non intacca il suo colore nelle foto che&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;state per vedere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;Tuttavia, ammetto che alteri un po' la grazia e la presentazione del prodotto, per questo &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;dovrete scusarmi. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v8KkobtNx_k/TrsIMalRiaI/AAAAAAAAB8M/p7IBxv1WBRg/s1600/SDC14551.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-v8KkobtNx_k/TrsIMalRiaI/AAAAAAAAB8M/p7IBxv1WBRg/s320/SDC14551.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Texture-wise, &lt;b&gt;Morale &lt;/b&gt;is definitely softer than its companion (Ambition, whose review and swatches are coming soon). Still, you will have to bear in mind that it contains some shimmers, so it will not be creamy to the touch. Don't be surprised or disappointed if, swatching it, you will have the impression it contains chunks. It does not - they're &lt;b&gt;shimmers&lt;/b&gt;, not glitters. However, the only way to really see the real effect of this blusher is putting it on with a brush.&lt;br /&gt;I use a natural bristles one by Madina Milano and I think the natural bristles are able to get the best out of this powder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;In quanto a consistenza, &lt;b&gt;Morale &lt;/b&gt;è decisamente più setoso del suo compagno (Ambition - di cui è in arrivo la recensione con gli swatches). Nonostante ciò, bisogna tenere a mente che&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;contiene degli shimmer, perciò non sarà cremoso al tatto.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Non sorprendetevi o irritatevi se, swatchandolo, avrete l'impressione che contenga come dei pezzetti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Non è così - sono degli &lt;b&gt;shimmer&lt;/b&gt;, non dei glitter. Comunque, l'unico modo per vedere l'effetto reale di&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;questo blush è quello di provarlo con un pennello.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Io ne uso uno in setole naturali di Madina Milano e penso che questo tipo di&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;setole siano le migliori per catturare il meglio di questo prodotto. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Color pay-off is &lt;b&gt;buildable&lt;/b&gt;: while &lt;b&gt;Morale &lt;/b&gt;is a very &lt;b&gt;bright color&lt;/b&gt;, you can also obtain just a very cute natural &lt;b&gt;flush &lt;/b&gt;of color by putting just a teeny-tiny on. It will give you a &lt;b&gt;doll effect&lt;/b&gt;, making you look &lt;b&gt;healthy &lt;/b&gt;and &lt;b&gt;glowy &lt;/b&gt;(the little shimmers will highlight your upper cheekbones, so there you have 2 products in 1).&lt;br /&gt;Play with layers, applying it very very lightly at the beginning, and this blusher will be definitely suitable for both day and night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;La scrivenza è &lt;b&gt;modulabile&lt;/b&gt;: nonostante &lt;b&gt;Morale &lt;/b&gt;sia un &lt;b&gt;colore molto vivo&lt;/b&gt;, si può ottenere anche solo&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;un effetto di "&lt;b&gt;rossore naturale&lt;/b&gt;", mettendone una quantità veramente minima.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;In questo modo dona un &lt;b&gt;effetto bambolina&lt;/b&gt;, dando all'incarnato una parvenza &lt;b&gt;sana &lt;/b&gt;e &lt;b&gt;luminosa &lt;/b&gt;(i piccoli shimmer illumineranno la parte superiore dell'osso zigomatico, quindi è come avere 2 prodotti in 1).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;Giocate un po' con gli strati, applicando solo una leggerissima pennellata all'inizio, e questo blush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;sarà decisamente adatto sia per uso giornaliero che per un trucco da sera.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eehwOQcvLsc/TrsJLMdLHoI/AAAAAAAAB8U/CeOtMBDOnKM/s1600/SDC14558.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eehwOQcvLsc/TrsJLMdLHoI/AAAAAAAAB8U/CeOtMBDOnKM/s320/SDC14558.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Packaging is the usual black, sleek &lt;b&gt;Illamasqua &lt;/b&gt;one, which reminds me of nautical objects and mystery (how do the two connect, I have no idea). Something that every woman will be stare at, if you take it out of your purse for touch ups.&lt;br /&gt;However, it does not contain a mirror inside, so be aware of that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;La confezione è la solita di &lt;b&gt;Illamasqua&lt;/b&gt;, nera ed elegante che mi ricorda la nautica ed il mistero (e non cheidetemi come le due cose possano essere interconnesse, perché non ne ho idea).E' un qualcosa che&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;tutte le donne fisseranno, se doveste toglierla dalla borsa per qualche ritocco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #351c75;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Tuttavia, non contiene uno specchietto al suo interno, dunque portatene uno con voi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

It's not cakey, but not even all that natural, due to the dewiness. Still, it was a very nice surprise for a cheap foundation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;My skin does not usually tollerates drugstore face products, however, this was fairly good.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The downside: the color range is lowermost. There are only four color choices of this foundation, and the darkest one (040) - which at that time was the closest match to my tan-to-winter skintone - is a tad too on the orangy-brownish side.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Lo chiamano il fondotinta dall'effetto naturale e fresco, però io direi che è più sul versante&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;luminoso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Copertura media, è abbastanza leggero sulla pelle ed ha una durata decente.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Non fa l'effetto patacca, ma non è nemmeno naturale, datosi appunto la forte luminosità.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Nonostante tutto è davvero stata una piacevole sorpresa per essere un fondotinta economico.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;La mia pelle, infatti, solitamente non tollera i prodotti viso low-cost, ma questo è davvero valido.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;La pecca è la gamma di colori veramente infima.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ci sono solo 4 possibilità di scelta ed il colore più scuro (040), che al tempo in cui ho acquistato il prodotto era&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;quello che andava meglio per me, è un po' troppo sul versante arancione-marroncino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pqOGjM2D7-g/TqGMcOQjOWI/AAAAAAAAB7I/qgYChyASSak/s1600/SDC14381.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pqOGjM2D7-g/TqGMcOQjOWI/AAAAAAAAB7I/qgYChyASSak/s320/SDC14381.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.

&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_2036503825"&gt;In conclusion, your choice: you're buying a product from &lt;b&gt;Clinique&lt;/b&gt;, so you know it's high-end; the product is indeed good (it has deserved a repurchase from me!) and convenient, but it comes with a price tag of €17.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_2036503825"&gt;Personally, I recommend it nevertheless!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_2036503825"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: #351c75;

text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span id="goog_2036503825"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;un prodotto di &lt;b&gt;Clinique&lt;/b&gt;, perciò sapete in partenza che il prezzo sarà alto;

text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span id="goog_2036503825"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Personalmente, io lo raccomando comunque!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span id="goog_2036503825"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_2036503825" style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;*Disclaimer:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="goog_2036503825" style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;product was provided by PR for reviewing consideration.

Quite possibly, of the whole - so called - Western World.&lt;br /&gt;This happens for several reasons, and it keeps perpetuating in our history ever since the Kingdom Era and Fascism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Currently, our government is discussing (for the umpteenth time, and with a strong possibility to pass it) the "&lt;i&gt;DDL Intercettazioni&lt;/i&gt;" - the &lt;b&gt;Wiretapping Bill.&lt;/b&gt; Its &lt;b&gt;29th paragraph&lt;/b&gt; would&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;empower anyone who believes themselves to have been offended by  the content of a web site to enforce publication of a reply, uneditable  and uncommented, on the same web site, within 48 hours and without any  prior evaluation of the claim by a judge or to face a €12,000 fine. Some  see it as an attempt by government to censor bloggers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;(source: &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Italy#Internet_censorship"&gt;wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;This Bill has been sarcastically called the "&lt;b&gt;Gag Law&lt;/b&gt;" because it will basically put a gag on our freedom of speech, thought, and expression, and also on our democracy. That's what the banner says: "&lt;b&gt;No to the Gag Law&lt;/b&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luckly for me this blog of mine has contents that will not be of interest for this Bill, but I do have a slightly more "political" blog about life in Italy (it's in Italian), and that can be closed, or I even worse I can risk my &lt;b&gt;entire yearly salary &lt;/b&gt;for expressing my sarcastic opinion on some of our Prime Minister's acts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you think this is ridiculously unfair censorship, please support us by sharing this article, and spreading the word about our situation.&lt;br /&gt;You can either refer to the English Wikipedia page about Censorship in Italy, which you can find here:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Italy#Internet_censorship"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Italy#Internet_censorship&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Please, note that even the Italian version of Wikipedia is in danger for simply stating facts!

Infastidita dal fatto di non riuscire a fare uno &lt;i&gt;smoky eye&lt;/i&gt; da manuale, la mia amica mi ha chiesto dove poter trovare dei veri e propri pennelli da sfumatura, quelli che inglese (lo dico per onor di cronaca, visto che i siti in cui si possono trovare son tutti in inglese) si chiamano &lt;i&gt;blending brushes&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ora, con tutti i video che girano su youtube e le cosiddette guru, penso che ormai sapremo tutte cosa sono i pennelli da sfumatura (è intuibile anche dal nome) e che i due più efficaci sono il &lt;b&gt;MAC 217&lt;/b&gt; ed il &lt;b&gt;MAC 224&lt;/b&gt;.Questi due pennellli hanno propositi diversi, nonostante lo scopo ultimo di entrambi sia quello di dare una sfumatura al nostro trucco. Entrambi hanno una forma "a campana" (o "a goccia", se vogliamo), ma uno dei due è più grande ed ha una circonferenza circolare (il 224), mentre l'altro è più piccolo e piatto (ha una circonferenza più...ovale, il 217). Inoltre, i pennelli tipo il 217 sono un tantino più "rigidi".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Che tipo di sfumatura da il 217?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una sfumatura perfetta, graduale, ma ben visibile sulla piega palpebrale. E' utile anche in mancanza di altri pennelli per stendere semplicemente l'ombretto su tutta la palpebra. Insomma, è il tipo di pennello che si deve utilizzare quando si vuole che il colore da sfumare sia bello evidente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Che tipo di sfumatura da il 224?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una sfumatura che dissolve il colore dalla piega palpebrale fino all'arcata sopraccigliare. Questo tipo di pennello non è fatto per caricare il colore da sfumare. Invece, sarà molto utile per sfumare veramente molto il colore che steso sulla piega palpebrale.&lt;br /&gt;E' anche un buon pennello da correttore (anche data la natura delle sue setole), ma questa è tutt'altra storia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ora, siccome so bene che non tutti possono permettersi i pennelli MAC (io sono la prima, visto che se prima non potevo permettermeli per motivi finanziari, ora non potrei comunque comprarli per l'assenza di MAC nella mia regione), quello che mi propongo di fare con questo post è darvi una lista di aziende che producono questo tipo di pennelli, in una versione meno costosa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La prima su tutte è sicuramente la &lt;b&gt;Sigma&lt;/b&gt;, un'azienda statunitense di cui sono ambasciatrice (faccio parte del loro affiliate program*). Sigma ha le migliori occasioni a livello globale per quanto riguarda il rapporto qualità/prezzo. &lt;br /&gt;Il loro simil-224 si chiama &lt;b&gt;E40 &lt;/b&gt;(Tapered Blending) e costa $9,00 se comprato individualmente (anche se io suggerisco sempre i kit, perché si risparmia sempre sul costo dei pennelli, che tanto servono sempre tutti).&lt;br /&gt;Il loro simil-217 si chiama &lt;b&gt;E25 &lt;/b&gt;ed anche questo ha un costo di $9,00 (se poi acquistate un kit, di solito questo pennello, in versione mini è omaggio!)&lt;br /&gt;Questi due rappresentano la riproduzione più fedele dei pennelli MAC.&lt;br /&gt;Dove si possono acquistare? &lt;br /&gt;- sul &lt;b&gt;sito ufficiale&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.sigmabeauty.com/"&gt;www.sigmabeauty.com &lt;/a&gt;(e nel caso decideste di acquistare da lì, sarebbe carino se lo faceste utilizzando il banner che ho sulla colonna destra del blog. Per ogni acquisto di 30 dollari ed oltre avrete un omaggio);&lt;br /&gt;- da siti Europei se pensate che i costi di spedizione siano troppo alti o se temete l'ombra della dogana (anche se sui pennelli non fanno storie di solito), anche se vi dico che i prezzi sono leggermente più alti, quali:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cocktail Cosmetics&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk/Sigma-Brushes"&gt;http://www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk/Sigma-Brushes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Love Make Up Premium and Professional Beauty&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.love-makeup.co.uk/brushes-accessories-c-16.html?filter_id=34&amp;amp;sort=3a"&gt;http://www.love-makeup.co.uk/brushes-accessories-c-16.html?filter_id=34&amp;amp;sort=3a&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un'altra azienda che produce pennelli da sfumatura simili a quelli MAC, che ho anche provato è la &lt;b&gt;Bdellium&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Anche questa è una ditta statunitense, che si è specializzata in pennelli anti-batterici (di cui ho fatto la recensione &lt;a href="http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2010/11/bdellium-tools-professional.html"&gt;qui&lt;/a&gt;). &lt;br /&gt;Il loro simil 217 si chiama &lt;b&gt;776&lt;/b&gt;, mentre la replica del 224 si chiama &lt;b&gt;785&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Sono dei buonissimi pennelli!&lt;br /&gt;Dove acquistarli?&lt;br /&gt;- dal sito ufficiale: &lt;a href="http://bdelliumtools.com/"&gt;http://bdelliumtools.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- o in Europa, dal sito &lt;a href="http://www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk/"&gt;www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ci sono, poi, dei marchi che producono dei pennelli simili a quelli MAC, ma che non ho ancora provato. Non posso fare commenti sulla qualità di questi, ma posso sempre segnalarveli per onor di cronaca:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cozzette &lt;/b&gt;(disponibile su Love Make Up) produce una replica del 224 che ha chiamato S150;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crown Brushes&lt;/b&gt; ha svariate riproduzioni di questo tipo di pennelli nelle loro numerose linee. Cambia sicuramente la qualità e la composizione delle setole. Occorre sfogliare un po' il catalogo, perché queste forme sono reiterate, dipende da quanto volete spender voi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anche &lt;b&gt;Boots N 7&lt;/b&gt; produce una mini replica del 217. E' abbastanza decente (io ne possiedo due), soprattutto se si deve portare in viaggio, ma sicuramente non ha la stessa qualità dei quelli Sigma o Bdellium. E' molto morbido, però. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi spiace ragazze, ma &lt;i&gt;Real Techniques by Sam Chapman&lt;/i&gt; non produce questa tipologia di pennelli.&lt;br /&gt;E' inutile dire che ogni altra forma di pennello da sfumatura non da affatto lo stesso tipo di sfumatura di questi pennelli, perciò non aspettatevi grandi cose da un pennello tipo quello elf (nonostante sia comunque un buon pennello).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bene, spero di esservi stata utile con questo post.

I have no idea if, by the time I will have finished typing this, I will still be able to post it. They told me today, my own connection will be sorted withing 20 - 30 days]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had an inspiring conversation with my friend two days ago about brushes. She told me she couldn't get the hang of smoky eyes, and while I think that is mostly due to her (our!) eye shape, I agree with her that the right blending brushes would help a lot!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, with all the beauty "gurus" around youtube, I think we all know what a blending eye brush is, and that the two most effective ones are the &lt;b&gt;MAC 21&lt;/b&gt;7 and &lt;b&gt;MAC 224&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the two serve different purposes even if their mission is to give a good blend. Both are domed-shaped brushes, but one is bigger and circular in circumference (224) and the other one is smaller and flatter (more like an oval-type of circumference, the 217). Also, 217-type of brushes are stiffer than 224's.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSrguIFWyWHvhMoPFPrk-QKyT9qwPXnvKDjSR1IJv1Kyzl5naK6" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSrguIFWyWHvhMoPFPrk-QKyT9qwPXnvKDjSR1IJv1Kyzl5naK6" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;source: Google Images&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;What can you do with a 217?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get a perfect, gradual, but visible blend on the crease. Also, you can use the flat side of it to pack on some eyeshadow on the eyelid. This is the type of brush you want to use to pack on the color that you need to blend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSBPux-qnM8WFBSPhA8QW6ZIPUbIKOe4CWLmesepzaKYdmJFincKg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSBPux-qnM8WFBSPhA8QW6ZIPUbIKOe4CWLmesepzaKYdmJFincKg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;source: beautynomics.com via Google Images&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;What can you do with a 224?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just blend. Dissolve the color from the crease right up to the brow bone. This brush is not meant to pat on the color and blend it. On the other hand, it will help you very much when you want the colour that you previously put on the crease to fade into the brown bone.&lt;br /&gt;It is also a good concealer brush (given the nature of its bristles and its size), but that's another story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I understand that not everyone - for many reasons - can get hold of MAC brushes (I myself, could not afford them until this year, and now I can't get them because I don't have a MAC store near me) so my aim with this post will be to provide you with a list of good dupes for them, since not many companies produce their blending eye brushes in these two shapes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First on the list is &lt;b&gt;Sigma&lt;/b&gt; brushes, a US-based company I am ambassador of. They have the best quality/price deals worldwide, and they were my first real brushes ever. &lt;br /&gt;Their dupe for the MAC 224 is called&lt;b&gt; E40&lt;/b&gt; (Tapared Blending) and costs $ 9,00 if bought individually (I personally recommend kits where this brush can be found, because kits are always the best deals).&lt;br /&gt;Their dupe for the MAC 217 is called &lt;b&gt;E25&lt;/b&gt; and also costs $ 9,00 (when you buy a kit, most of the time this brush, in its travel size, comes for free!)&lt;br /&gt;These two are the most similar and faithful replicas I've ever come across.&lt;br /&gt;Where can you buy them?&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Official Site&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.sigmabeauty.com/"&gt;www.sigmabeauty.com &lt;/a&gt;(&lt;i&gt;in case you decide to make a purchase there, you can use the banner I have on the top right sidebar, so that you will get a free gift if you spend at least $ 30&lt;/i&gt;);&lt;br /&gt;- if you are in Europe and you think shipping costs are too expensive, or fear the hand of the customs, there are two authorized sellers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cocktail Cosmetics&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk/Sigma-Brushes"&gt;http://www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk/Sigma-Brushes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Love Make-Up - Premium and Professional Beauty&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://www.love-makeup.co.uk/brushes-accessories-c-16.html?filter_id=34&amp;amp;sort=3a"&gt;http://www.love-makeup.co.uk/brushes-accessories-c-16.html?filter_id=34&amp;amp;sort=3a&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another brand I tried that makes very good dupes is &lt;b&gt;Bdellium&lt;/b&gt;. This is another US-based manufacturer that specializes into anti-bacterial brushes (I reviewed their brushes &lt;a href="http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2010/11/bdellium-tools-professional.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;Their replica for the 217 is called &lt;b&gt;776&lt;/b&gt;, while their dupe for the 224 brush is called &lt;b&gt;785&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;These are very good brushes too!&lt;br /&gt;Where can you buy them?&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;Official Site&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;a href="http://bdelliumtools.com/"&gt;http://bdelliumtools.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- or, again, if you are in Europe: &lt;a href="http://www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk/"&gt;www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some brands I have not tried yet produce their own replicas, and while I cannot comment on their quality, I can always point out to you the brushes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cozzette &lt;/b&gt;(available throught Love Make Up) makes an S150 (224) brush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Crown Brushes&lt;/b&gt; also makes several dupes in their lines. The brushes are the same shape, but the bristles composition might change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Boots N7&lt;/b&gt; also makes a travel size replica of the MAC 217. It is a decent brush, but cannot surely equal the Sigma or Bdellium brushes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry girls, but &lt;i&gt;Real Techniques by Sam Chapman&lt;/i&gt; does not produce these shapes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any other blending brush that is shapped differently (eg. elf) will not have the same blending.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this has been useful. If you have any questions or remarks (or know any other brand that should be included on this list), please leave a comment.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6677173460035712032-1096040079742086589?l=aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/feeds/1096040079742086589/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/09/insight-into-blending-brushes-types.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/1096040079742086589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/1096040079742086589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/09/insight-into-blending-brushes-types.html' title='An insight into blending brushes: types, functionality, brands'/><author><name>Lydia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10221600051462988749</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yug_jRotQOg/TCG4tyuauZI/AAAAAAAABAU/UVJiG0bxw9o/S220/SDC11623.JPG'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677173460035712032.post-3607936635551408782</id><published>2011-09-18T22:28:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-18T22:28:25.712+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ellis Faas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News and new launches'/><title type='text'>Ellis Faas: a family affair</title><content type='html'>Some days ago, I received a lovely email advising me of a new video on the &lt;b&gt;Ellis Faas&lt;/b&gt; youtube channel.&lt;br /&gt;The video, called &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;A Family Affair&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, displays Ellis's brother's - Thijs - face being used as a canvas for what I would call &lt;i&gt;make-up paintings&lt;/i&gt;. In fact, Ellis was inspired by a triptych painted by Francis Bacon (who, for the record, is one of my all time favorite painters), so keep that in mind when you watch the short film.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ellis herselfs asserts that&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;As a late teenager, I visited the Tate Gallery in London and was  blown away by a Francis Bacon triptych. It made a great impression on me  because of the use of colour - it was unnerving and stunningly  beautiful at the same time. Bacon inspired many experiments I did over  the years. I now think it has become something of my own and hasn't much  to do with Bacon any more&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For some reasons, some of the shots remind me of Joan Mirò and Jackson Pollock too. Can you see what I see there?&lt;br /&gt;Anyway,  the video is mesmerizing (she shot that herself, in her own house) and  it is accompanied by some touching piano melody her own daughter Flavia  composed especially for the occasion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. If you are fond of paint and art in general, I know you will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Thanks Thijs for sending this through.

It is supposed to be a line for younger skins, but it works perfectly with my skin needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ho acquistato questa crema di &lt;b&gt;Clarins &lt;/b&gt;a Maggio, dopo aver sentito tantissime persone tesserne le lodi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Beh, penso proprio che tutte quelle lodi fossero meritate. &lt;b&gt;Eclat du Jour&lt;/b&gt; è ora la mia crema preferita!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Sì, è vero ch'è molto cara (20 € per 30 ml), ma mi lascia la pelle fantastica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Dovrebbe essere una linea dedicata alle pelli giovani, ma per le necessità che ha la mia pelle va benissimo. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gO8gGT9KhqE/Tm571I9Os2I/AAAAAAAAB5o/Tb3e_3otFCc/s1600/SDC14111.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gO8gGT9KhqE/Tm571I9Os2I/AAAAAAAAB5o/Tb3e_3otFCc/s320/SDC14111.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I bought the "dry to normal" version, which has a thicker consistency (the "combination" &lt;b&gt;Eclat du Jour&lt;/b&gt; comes in a gel - gélée - formulation). Nevertheless, it left my skin supple, luminous, refined, and cleared out some imperfections. It has never left my skin greasy, even when our temperature here reached 30 degrees (Celsius, that is).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ho comprato la versione per pelli "da secche a normali", che ha una consistenza molto più densa (quella per&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;pelli "miste" ha una formula più simile al gel e non per niente&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;si chiama &lt;b&gt;Eclat du Jour Gélée&lt;/b&gt;), Ciononostante, ha reso la mia pelle rimpolpata, luminosa, molto più rifinita nella grana, ha tolto di mezzo alcune impurità. Non ha mai&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;lucidato, nemmeno quando le temperature qui hanno raggiunto i 30 gradi.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This moisturizer comes in a glass jar which is very heavy and not really handy if you are a bit sloppy, or if you want to bring it with you on a trip. Then again, on the bright side the jar format allows you to use up every ml of the product. I just wish it were made of plastic. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Per quel che attiene il packaging, Eclat du Jour è contenuta in una confezione di vetro con il tappo ad avvitatura. il che non è l'ideale se voete portarla con voi in viaggio, oppure semplicemnte se siete un po'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;maldestre.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ad ogni modo, questo formato ha anche il suo vantaggio, perché vi permette di usare ogni millilitro di prodotto.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Però vorrei che lo facessero in plastica.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Longevity-wise, one jar covered a little more than 2 months for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;La durata di una confezione è&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt; stata di poco più di due mesi nel mio caso. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line is, this moisturizer is fantastic, and I seriously think it would work wonders on every skin type.&lt;br /&gt;Probably the only things that put me off are the price, and the glass jar. Everything else is to die for, smell included.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clarins, I hereby declare my faithfulness and endless love for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;In definitiva, questa crema è fantastica e penso seriamente che possa essere ideale per tutti i tipi di pelle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Probabilmente quello che un po' mi frena dal riacquistarla subito è il prezzo e la jar in vetro.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Tutto il resto è bello da morire, compresa la profumazione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dG41BIxoB2M/Tm57ejQPkQI/AAAAAAAAB5k/NN0jOrjuNOw/s1600/SDC14110.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Clarins, qui ti dichiaro la mia fede e il mio amore infinito.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;UPDATE/AGGIORNAMENTO&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;I forgot to mention that this moisturizer does not contain a heavy dose of junk ingredients. On the contrary, its ingredients list is quite "safe". What are the odds to find a moisturizer, sold in perfumeries, which is really active and does not contain junk?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ho dimenticato di dirvi che l'inci di questa crema non contiene una marea di schifezze, tipiche delle creme da&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;profumeria. Al contrario, direi che l'inci di questa crema è abbastanza "sicuro".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Questo fatto non è scontato, credetemi.

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Back in the spring, &lt;b&gt;Clarins &lt;/b&gt;launched a new foundation called &lt;b&gt;Skin Illusio&lt;/b&gt;n.&lt;br /&gt;I will skip all of the details that you can find on their site (I had already wrote an informative post when I received the press release related to it) and focus on my experience with this foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;La scorsa primavera &lt;b&gt;Clarins &lt;/b&gt;ha lanciato un nuovo fondotinta chiamato &lt;b&gt;Skin Illusion&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Salterò i dettagli forniti anche nel sito (ho già scritto un post informativo in merito&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;quando ho ricevuto la cartella stampa) e mi&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;concentrerò sulla mia esperienza con questo fondotinta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Consistency&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather airy. Very light-weight, but not overly fluid, nor too dense. I really love it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Consistenza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Molto leggera, non troppo fluida, né troppo densa. A me piace tantissimo.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wbZyBrdiSYk/Tmp3Jpz3o3I/AAAAAAAAB5M/yAYDigwPMWM/s1600/SDC14108.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wbZyBrdiSYk/Tmp3Jpz3o3I/AAAAAAAAB5M/yAYDigwPMWM/s320/SDC14108.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Yes, I am so lazy that I always forget to put my hand cream on. I have very dry skin on my body!&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Coverage&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd say this foundation has a medium coverage. If you have spots, you will need to dab a little over them to disguise them completely, but in general, it does a very good job hiding everything, pores included!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Coprenza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Direi che la coprenza di questo fondotinta è media. Se avete brufoli, dovrete picchiettarne un pochino sopra per mascherarli per bene, ma in generale è davvero un buon fondotinta per nascondere le imperfezioni,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;pori compresi!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;How its texture results on the skin&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to say, I love it. It gives a satin finish, so you get a luminosity without being shiny, and it mattifies just enough not have your t-zone become greasy. Definitely a gorgous effect on the skin.&lt;br /&gt;I have also been told it looks very very natural, almost as if I weren't wearing any foundation and it was just my skin that looked flawless.&lt;br /&gt;So for 32 - 34 € a bottle, this is definitely something worth the splurge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Come la texture di Skin Illusion risulta sulla pelle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Io devo proprio dire che adoro la texture di questo fondotinta.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ha un finish satinato, quindi otterrete luminosità senza che lucidi, e opacità&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;quanto basta per non fare ingrassare la zona T.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Decisamente un effetto meraviglioso.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Mi è stato anche detto che sembra veramente tanto naturale, quasi come se non avessi nessun&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;fondotinta addosso e quella fosse semplicemente la mia pelle, perfetta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Perciò direi che per 32 - 34 euro a boccetta, sono davvero tanti soldi, ma ben spesi! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No break-out or pore obstruction was noticed in 2 months of regular use. Within those &lt;b&gt;two months of regular use, I only finished 60% of the product&lt;/b&gt;, which is also something to take into account when buying your high-end foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Non è comparsa nessuna eruzione cutanea e non ha ostruito i pori in 2 mesi di utilizzo regolare.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Durante quei due mesi di utilizzo regolare, ho finito solamente il 60% del prodotto&lt;/b&gt;, e penso che questo sia&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;un fattore da prendere in considerazione quando si decide di acquistare un fondotinta&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;di marca. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line is, Clarins never fails in satisfying me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;In definitiva, Clarins non smette mai di soddisfarmi.

Sure, they are expensive, but no one else can beat the cute, vintage packaging, and the selection of products they put in them.&lt;br /&gt;They are fantastic for those who want to try their products for the first time, but do not want to take the risk and spend 30 euros on one single product they are not sure they will like. Paying 30 euros to try five or more products is certainly more appealing. Especially when those five small little "sample-sized" products last you one entire year (or even more, I guess...).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Non adorate anche voi i kit di &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Benefit&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;? Certo, sono un po' cari,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ma sono imbattibili. Quel packaging così carino, vintage, e la selezione di prodotti che si trova al loro interno....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Sono fantastici per coloro che vogliono provare i loro prodotti per la prima volta, ma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;non vogliono rischiari di spendere 30 euro per un solo prodotto che non sono sicuri nemmeno gli piaccia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Pagare 30 euro per cinque prodotti è di certo meglio.

It's a very light, cool pink light cream that you dab under your eyes. It contains raspberry extracts and light-reflecting pigments that will counteract your dark circles.&lt;br /&gt;My verdict: it does help a bit, but it is nothing special. If you have super dark circles, this may not help at all. I still prefer concealers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;E' un illuminante per la zona occhi. Il colore è un rosa freddo molto chiaro, la consistenza quella di una crema&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;che si picchietta nel contorno occhi. Contiene estratti di lampone e pigmenti che riflettono la luce che aiutano a combattere le occhiaie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Il mio verdetto: aiuta un pochino, ma non è nulla di speciale. Se avete delle super occhiaie, sicuramente non farà niente. Preferisco di gran lunga i correttori. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lip Plump (full size: £ 14,50 - should be around € 16 or more)&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;A lip primer "for full, sexy lips". It's colored as a concealer and helps evening out the surface of the lips so that your lipstick glides on smothly. It also helps to "erase your lips" so that you can trace them differently with your lip liner, and makes your lipstick last longer.&lt;br /&gt;Definitely a useful product, especially for those who - like me - don't have a natural defined pout, but want to sport brighter colors on their lips.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Un primer per labbra "piene e sexy". E' colorato come un correttore ed aiuta a livellare la superficie delle labbra cosicché il rossetto scivoli meglio.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;L'altra sua funzione è quella di "cancellare" le labbra, in modo che si possano&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;tracciare contorni diversi da quelli naturali con la matita, ed aiuta anche a far durare più a lungo il rossetto.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Decisamente un prodotto utile, specialmente per chi - come me - non ha una bocca ben definita ma vuole&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;portare i colori accesi.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;High Beam (full size: £ 18, 50 -&amp;nbsp; € 23)&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Known as the "supermodel in a bottle", High Beam needs no presentation. Next to the infamous Moon Beam, it's &lt;i&gt;the &lt;/i&gt;highlighter. On the pink side, shimmery, and creamy, you only need to dab and blend a very tiny amount of this product where you want lights to be reflecting (usually, top of the cheeks, cupid's bow, bridge of the nose, brow bone) and you will have the most subtle yet effective glow on your skin.&lt;br /&gt;Bear in mind though, that this happens when you put the tiniest amount of it on. As it is shimmery, if you put too much of it on, you will end up looking like a discoball.&lt;br /&gt;My verdict: lovely product, especially if you like creamy formulations. Although, I would only buy this in kits, as there are some exact dupes for less (for the full size bottle, I mean).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conosciuto come la "top model in bottiglia", High Beam non ha bisogno di presentazioni.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Insieme a Moon Beam, è l'illuminante per eccellenza.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sui toni del rosa, shimmery e cremoso, è necessaria una quantità veramente minuscola di questo prodotto&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;nei punti in cui si vuole che la luce rifletta (di solito, sull'osso zigomatico, sull'arco di cupido, lungo il naso e&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;nell'arcata sopraccigliare) e avrete una luminosità discreta, ma anche molto efficace.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tenete bene a mente, però che questo accade solo quando usate una quantità di prodotto veramente minima.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dato che è molto shimmery, se viene messo troppo prodotto, si rischia l'effetto "stroboscopio".&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Il mio verdetto: prodotto adorabile, specialmente se si è fan delle formulazioni cremose.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Tuttavia, lo comprerei solo nei kit, perché in giro ci sono dei dupe che costano meno (certo, il prezzo in Italia è davvero poco accattivante!)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lemon Aid (full size £ 16,50 - should be around 18 or 20 euros)&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;Marketed as a color correcting eyelid primer, this is a product that I can't get the hang of. Basically, it's a lemon yellow cream helps to hide redness and discoloration on your eyelids. Problems are, though, that a. the cream isn't soft; b. it creases ridiculously. Ok, this is not a primer that's supposed to make your eyeshadow last or avoid creasing&amp;nbsp; (in fact, it can be worn alone), but still. You would expect something that you put on your eyes to correct the color not to crease and stay there, otherwise you'd end up in stripes of different colors on your lids, right?&lt;br /&gt;Nope, this is the one product that let me down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Pubblicizzato come il primer correttore per occhi, questo è un prodotto che non riesco proprio ad utilizzare.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Praticamente, è una crema giallo limone che aiuta a nascondere il rossore o la discromia delle palpebre.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I problemi però sono i seguenti: a. la crema non è soffice; b. fa immediatamente le pieghette.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ok non è un primer il cui scopo è quello di non far fare le pieghette all'ombretto&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;o farlo durare di più (infatti, si può anche portare senza ombretto), ma ad ogni modo ci si aspeetterebbe&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;che durasse proprio visto che corregge le discromie e non ci vogliamo di certo ritrovare con&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;strisce di colori diversi sulle palpebre.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;No, è proprio un prodotto che mi ha delusa.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Boi-ing (full size £ 16,50 - € 21, 50)&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;The "industrial strenght concealer". My favorite one of all time. It is &lt;i&gt;the &lt;/i&gt;concealer. It comouflages everything from dark circles to acne spots, and even covers birth-marks pretty well. I even bought a back-up of it, but I haven't finished the mini size in the kit yet (not even hit pan) and I've used it almot every day for almost one year. Fantastic! The tiniest amount covers everything. You can even use it to erase your lips!&lt;br /&gt;Yes, it's rather pricey, but it's an excellent product that will last for ages.&lt;br /&gt;A tip: when using under the eyes, dab the product rather than using swipe motions. The consistency is so creamy that it would get into lines.&lt;br /&gt;My verdict: love at first use!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Il correttore "industriale". Il mio preferito di sempre. Il correttore per antomasia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Camuffa di tutto, dalle occhiaie ai brufoli dell'acne e copre anche molto bene le voglie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ho addirittura comprato una riserva in full size di questo correttore, ma ancora, dopo un anno, non ho&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;finito (nemmeno ho iniziato a fare il classico "buchetto") la mini taglia contenuta nel kit&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;e l'ho usato praticamente ogni giorno per quasi un anno. Fantastico, no?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Anche una minuscola quantità di prodotto copre tutto. Lo si può perfino usare per "cancellare" le labbra!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Sì. è vero, costa tanto, ma è un prodotto eccellente che durerà un'eternità.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Un consiglio: picchiettatelo invece di tirarlo. la consistenza è molto cremosa e se non fate così nel contorno occhi,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;rischiate che vi vada nelle pieghette.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Il verdetto: amore a prima applicazione!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Overall considerations&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;The kit is definitely worth a try. It retails for € 33 which you would think are too much, but you get the chance of trying five products, and some of them are real gems.

Such an unusual color that only Urban Decay produces (as far as I know): Misdemeanor. Now, pictures do not do it justice, but I promise I will replicate this when I move to my new place and I can take a decent shot.&lt;br /&gt;It was much more smoked out and also darker.&lt;br /&gt;And of course, eventhough I used one of the darkest shades of foundation around, SPF + Flash washed out my face.

Blush Brush&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the Bellapierre angled face brush, which can be used for both blush and countouring. It is made of 100% goat hairs, and my preferred usage for this brush is definitely the application of bronzer. It's not a huge brush, it has - let's say - a medium size, so it's useful for application of bronzer or countouring powders on the temples.&lt;br /&gt;Softness-wise, it's not the softest brush on Earth, but it is soft enough not to scratch your face and to give a good blend.&lt;br /&gt;The handle is not very big, so it's very handy for a purse where you put your make-up-on-the-go, or if you need travel size brushes.&lt;br /&gt;Its price is € 24.99&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;1. Blush Brush&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Questo è il pennello viso angolato di Bellapierre, che può essere usato sia per applicare il blush (arrendevolmente, ormai uso la terminologia anglofona, altrimenti mi dicono che sono rètro...oh, scusate, vintage)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;che per scolpire il viso con il contouring. Le setole sono in 100% pelo di capra e l'uso che ne faccio io, quello che preferisco, è sicuramente applicazione del bronzer. Non è un pennello enorme, diciamo che ha una misura media, quindi è abbastanza utile per l'applicazione del bronzer o polveri da countouring sulle tempie.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per ciò che attiene alla morbidezza, non è il pennello più soffice sulla terra, ma è comunque abbstanza&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;soffice da non pizzicare tutta la faccia e da anche una buona sfumatura.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Il manico non è molto grande, quindi è un pennello pratico da tenere in borsa, oppure se avete bisogno di un pennello da viaggio.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Il prezzo è di € 24.99&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bnxq95cTpu4/TkPhCPAPTMI/AAAAAAAAB2o/uTREYlvNhCk/s1600/SDC13472.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bnxq95cTpu4/TkPhCPAPTMI/AAAAAAAAB2o/uTREYlvNhCk/s320/SDC13472.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;2. Concealer brush&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a very thick brush which should be used for applying loose mineral foundation or concealer under the eye area, or on problem areas. Personally, I've used it for packing some eyeshadow too, sometimes.&lt;br /&gt;Although, I am so used to other types of brushes that I hardly ever reach for it. I should give it more rounds, but it's generally a good brush.&lt;br /&gt;It's made of 100% pony hairs, and its retail price is € 19.99&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;2. Concealer Brush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;E' un pennello molto spesso, che dovrebbe trovare il suo utilizzo nell'applicazione di polveri minerali libere o&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;correttore nell'area del contorno occhi o in qualsiasi zona "problematica". Personalmente, l'ho usato anche&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;per l'ombretto, alcune volte.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Anche se, devo ammettere, sono abituata ad altri tipi di pennello e dunque questo non lo uso quasi mai.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Lo dovrei mettere alla prova più spesso, ma in generale è un buon pennello.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Le setole son di pelo di pony e il suo prezzo è di € 19.99&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bellapierre.eu/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/a/_/a_fanbrush.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.bellapierre.eu/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/a/_/a_fanbrush.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Fan Brush&lt;br /&gt;A small fan shaped brush that should be used to apply bronzers or shimmer powders (highlighters in general).&lt;br /&gt;Now, I've never really gotten the hang of fan brushes (and everytime I try to use one to remove excess of make-up from under my eyes, I end up looking like a racoon), but I've used this several times when doing my evening make-up (therefore, more sculpted) for powder highlighter application and it works very nicely.&lt;br /&gt;I guess this can also be a very good brush for contouring, if you can master the art of using it. My best guess is that you can put your contour powder with this in the exact hollows of your cheeks and then you can buff it out with a bigger contour blush. I may give this technique a try.&lt;br /&gt;This brush is made of 100% goat hair and its retail price is once again € 19.99&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;3. Fan Brush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;E' il classico pennello a ventaglio che dovrebbe usarsi per applicare bronzer e polveri illuminanti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Ora, io personalmente non ho mai capito come utilizzare bene questo tipo di pennello (ed ogni volta che, ad esempio, provo ad usarlo per rimuovere l'eccesso di trucco da sotto gli occhi, finisco per sembrare un panda), ma l'ho usato parecchie volte per fare il trucco da sera (quindi più scolpito)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;per applicare polveri illuminanti e funziona davvero bene.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Penso che sia un buon pennello anche per il contouring, se avete abbastanza maestrìa nell'usarlo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Credo proprio che si possa mettere la polvere da contouring con questo pennello esattamente al di sotto dell'osso zigomatico e poi si possa sfumare per bene con un pennello da contouring più grosso. Dovrei provarla, questa tecnica.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Questo pennello ha setole di capra e il suo prezzo è di € 19.99&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bellapierre.eu/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/a/_/a_foundationbrush.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.bellapierre.eu/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/a/_/a_foundationbrush.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Powder Dome Brush&lt;br /&gt;This is the brush that Bellapierre suggests you use for foundation application. It's not one of those huge powder brushes, so it can work. Although, I have to say that the foundation applies extremely lightly when you use this brush, therefore, if you want more coverage, you should use a kabuki with loose powder foundation, or the included sponge with the compact one. This brush, in my opinion, is better for finishing powder application, or for blush application. In fact, I always use it as a blush brush and I love it.&lt;br /&gt;It is very soft, with its bristles made of goat hair, and retails for € 29.99&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;4. Powder Dome Brush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Questo è il pennello che Bellapierre suggerisce di usare per l'applicazione del fondotinta. Non è uno di quei pennelli polvere enormi, quindi può funzionare in questo senso. Anche se, devo dire che il fondotinta si stende veramente molto leggermente se si usa queto pennello, perciò, se volte più coprenza, dovrete usare un kabuki o, per la versione del fondo compatto, la spugnetta inclusa nella confezione.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Questo pennello, secondo il mio modesto parere, è meglio come pennello da cipria o blush. Infatti, io lo uso sempre come pennello bush e lo adoro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;E' molto morbido, ha le setole in pelo di capra e il suo costo è di € 29.99 &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-muL6aO3kivc/TkPhSXVRtHI/AAAAAAAAB2s/FZDZ_H8dOZw/s1600/SDC13473.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-muL6aO3kivc/TkPhSXVRtHI/AAAAAAAAB2s/FZDZ_H8dOZw/s320/SDC13473.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Eyeliner Brush&lt;br /&gt;Unlike the other brushes I have previously described, this one is made of Taklon. To say that I am in love with it is an understatement. It has the perfect consistency for lining the lashlines and for filling in and shaping eyebrows. The handle is not super long, but not even super short. Just the right size to bring it with your for travelling or touch-ups, and still do a great job.&lt;br /&gt;It is not even that expensive, being priced at € 14.99. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;5. Eyeliner Brush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;A differenza di quelli che ho precedentemente descritto, questo pennello ha le setole in Taklon.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Dire che sono innamorata di questo pennello è usare un eufemismo. Ha la consistenza perfetta per tracciare righe di eyeliner e anche per dar forma e riempire le sopracciglia. Il manico non è troppo lungo,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;né troppo corto. Proprio la misura giusta per portarlo dietro con sé per ritocchi e ottenere comunque un buon lavoro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Non è nemmeno così caro, costa € 14.99&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yrncDQYZKk0/TkPhixnaiaI/AAAAAAAAB2w/jhtvkas3ckM/s1600/SDC13474.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yrncDQYZKk0/TkPhixnaiaI/AAAAAAAAB2w/jhtvkas3ckM/s320/SDC13474.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Eyeshadow Brush&lt;br /&gt;Along with the concealer brush it's probably the one brush that I liked the least.&lt;br /&gt;It's just a regular eyeshadow brush made of goat hair, it's not as big as my Sigma one, so I use it for applying eyeshadow on the lower lashline or inner corner.&lt;br /&gt;I don't have much to say about it, because it is not incredibly soft or precise....&lt;br /&gt;Its price is 14.99&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;6. Eyeshadow Brush&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Insieme al pennello da correttore è probabilmente quello che mi è piaciuto meno.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;E' semplicemente un normalissimo pennello da ombretto in setole di capra, non è grande come quello Sigma,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;quindi lo uso per applicare l'ombretto nella rima inferiore dell'occhio e nell'angolo interno.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Non ho granché da dire su questo pennello, non è incredibilmente morbido o preciso...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Il suo prezzo è di € 14.99&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall considerations:&lt;br /&gt;The brushes have a good quality, although I can't say that they are an alternative to professional lines such as MAC, MUFE, Sigma, Japanesque, Bdellium Toolz, etc. They are good brushes for everyday use.&lt;br /&gt;My only gripe is that, with the exception of the eyeliner brush - which is outstanding, they are overpriced for being "everyday use" brushes. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Considerazioni generali:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Questi pennelli hanno una buona qualità, sebbene non possa affermare che siano alternativi a linee professionali&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;quali MAC, MUFE, Sigma, Japanesque, Bdellium, etc.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Sono buoni pennelli per l'uso giornaliero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;L'unica mia lamentela è che, ad eccezione del pennello da eyeliner - che è davvero eccezionale, sono troppo cari per essere pennelli da "uso giornaliero" senza tante pretese di precisione.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Disclaimer: Products provided by PR for reviewing consideration only.&amp;nbsp;

a product that promises to be a "5 in 1": concealer, foundation, pressed powder, SPF 15. I know they miss the fifth use for this here. Eheh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XsK4W73yuc0/Tjgmfjj8l-I/AAAAAAAAB2c/yjZsXemMSwo/s1600/SDC13477.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XsK4W73yuc0/Tjgmfjj8l-I/AAAAAAAAB2c/yjZsXemMSwo/s320/SDC13477.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Anyway, this mineral foundation is very much an ingredient-friendly one: &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span class="tab_content"&gt;Mica, Zinc Stearate, Zinc Oxide, Simmondsia  Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Lauroyl Lysine, Lonicera  Caprifolium(Honeysuckle) Flower Extract May contain: Titanium Dioxide,  Iron Oxides, ChromiumOxide Green.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;With such a small amount it is highly improbable someone gets any reaction to it. The only difference between this formulation and the loose powder one, lies in Jojoba Oil, which could be responsible for the "downside" of this foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qm4dNi0Mi54/TjgnDvONTLI/AAAAAAAAB2g/nlqm5_j4A6E/s1600/SDC13478.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qm4dNi0Mi54/TjgnDvONTLI/AAAAAAAAB2g/nlqm5_j4A6E/s320/SDC13478.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Let's get to it: as I first applied the foundation, with the sponge applicator which was included in the package, I was amazed by the coverage of this foundation. Perfect. Matte finish, concealing effect. I could even forget that I chose the wrong color for me (Latte has reddish undertones. Note to self.). To see proof of what I'm saying, you may as well check out the pictures on this post. It displays the porcelain doll effect that it initially give you: &lt;a href="http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/01/illamasqua-throb-inspired-make-up-much.html"&gt;http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/01/illamasqua-throb-inspired-make-up-much.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't even know how much time passed exactly, because I went to work, but when I looked at myself in the mirror again the foundation looked...misplaced? It looked as if it melted or something, I couldn't even describe that. Probably too much oil? I don't even need oil-free foundations generally, and I had never seen something like that on my skin. &lt;br /&gt;I think it could be the Jojoba Oil because the loose powder version of this foundation gets rave reviews on every site and especially on makeupalley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I using it wrong? Did somebody else have the same reaction to it? I really liked it initially, but I don't think I could ever purchase it because that melting effect, and lack of lasting performance do not justify the 40 euros price tag. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Come promesso iniziocon le recensioni Bellapierre e più precisamente vi parlerò del loro fondotinta minerale compatto (&lt;b&gt;Compact Mineral Foundation&lt;/b&gt;). Un prodotto che loro descrivono come 5 in 1: fondotinta, correttore, cipria, schermo di protezione solare 15...sì, si sono dimenticati il quinto uso. eheh.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;E' indubbiamente un fondotinta adatto alle persone sensibili all'argomento inci, infatti contiene pochi ingredienti e tutti naturali. Di sopra, nella versione inglese, è riportato l'inci in verde.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;L'unica differenza tra questa formulazione e quella del fondotinta in polvere sta nell'olio di Jojoba, che forse è responsabile dell'effetto che vi descriverò più avanti, quello che non mi fa promuovere questo prodotto, a dispetto di tutte le recensioni entusiastiche della versione in polvere trovate su MakeupAlley.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ebbene, se ad un primo impatto questo prodotto mi ha colpita per la sua coprenza, il suo effetto porcellana,&amp;nbsp; il finish matte, di cui potete aver prova in questo post:&amp;nbsp; , sono poi rimasta amaramente delusa. Perché? Perché dopo qualche ora (non so precisare quante ore perché sono andata al lavoro) sembrava che il fondotinta mi si fosse sciolto in faccia e quindi si stesse spostando un po' dove voleva lui. Non so nemmeno come spiegarlo, dato che è un effetto che non avevo mai visto. Può essere, appunto, per via dell'olio di Jojoba. E' anche strano perché non ho nemmeno bisogno di fondotinta oil-free solitamente.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ecco, quest'effetta pecca di certo non me lo farà comprare, visto che non giustifica le &lt;b&gt;40 euro del prezzo&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dunque vi chiedo, c'è qualcun altro che ha provato questo esatto fondotinta ed ha avuto la stessa reazione? O qualcuno che mi sa dire se lo sto usando male?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Disclaimer: product provided by PR for reviewing consideration. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6677173460035712032-2243126407883125215?l=aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/feeds/2243126407883125215/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/08/bellapierre-compact-mineral-foundation.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/2243126407883125215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/2243126407883125215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/08/bellapierre-compact-mineral-foundation.html' title='Bellapierre Compact Mineral Foundation review'/><author><name>Lydia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10221600051462988749</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yug_jRotQOg/TCG4tyuauZI/AAAAAAAABAU/UVJiG0bxw9o/S220/SDC11623.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-krxzezYpC7c/TjglkpYMM9I/AAAAAAAAB2Y/_ByNjokJLFE/s72-c/SDC13476.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677173460035712032.post-2091800719104007827</id><published>2011-07-31T19:42:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-31T19:42:46.298+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Bellapierre'/><title type='text'>An introduction to: Bellapierre cosmetics</title><content type='html'>A while ago, I was asked to try out some mineral cosmetics from a brand I had never heard of (purely because I had never switched on QVC before); its name is&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt; Bellapierre Cosmetics&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;So, the lovely PR sent me some presentation files for the company and kindly asked for my preferences of whatever I wanted to try from the site.&lt;br /&gt;Turns out that &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bellapierre&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is a very big competitor for the renowed mineral brand Bare Minerals (and, obviously, Bare Essentuals) and also the best-selling cosmetic line on QVC Italy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Un po' di tempo fa mi è stato chiesto di provare dei cosmetici minerali di un marchio di cui, fino a quel momento, non sapevo nulla (fondamentalmente perché non avevo mai guardo il canale QVC); il nome di questo marchio è &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bellapierre Cosmetics&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Perciò, l'adorabile PR mi inviò dei file di presentazione della ditta e mi chiese gentilmente quali fossero le mie preferenze per i prodotti da provare.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;A quanto sembra &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bellapierre &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;è uno dei più grandi competitors del rinomato marchio di cosmesi minerale Bare Minerals (e con esso, chiaramente anche Bare Essentuals), nonché la linea cosmetica più venduta su QVC Italia! &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before we venture into the actual reviews of the products I chose, I want to give you some information on the brand, simply because we are all familiar with the afore-mentioned Bare Minerals (and here in Italy, with companies such as Neve Cosmetics and Minerale Puro), but the people who do not watch QVC may not be that familiar with &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bellapierre&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Prima di avventurarci nelle vere e proprie recensioni dei prodotti che ho scelto, voglio darvi un po' di informazioni sul marchio, semplicemente perché abbiamo tutti abbastanza familiarità con la sopracitata Bare Minerals (e qui in Italia con marchi quali Neve Cosmetics e Minerale Puro), ma le persone che non guardano QVC potrebbero ignorare in toto l'esistenza di &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bellapierre&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bellapierre &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;is one of the fastest growing mineral make-up companies in the world (cit.). It was conceived by a man named &lt;b&gt;David Oren&lt;/b&gt; who, by the time of the creation of his own company, had already had 13 years of expertise in the field of cosmetics manufacturing. After launching his own line of skincare, Mr. Oren sensed that the cosmetic industry was leaning towards new directions; the same directions that new technologies are heading to: nature, organic, clean. This is why, in 2005 he created &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bellapierre &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;mineral make-up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bellapierre &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;è, nel mondo del make-up minerale, una delle compagnie che stanno avendo una rapidissima espansione (cit.). Fu concepita da un signore di nome &lt;b&gt;David Oren&lt;/b&gt; che, all'epoca della creazione dell'azienda, aveva alle spalle già 13 anni di esperienza nel campo della filiera di produzione della cosmesi. Dopo aver lanciato la propria linea di cura della pelle, il Sig. Oren tenne gli occhi ben aperti sulle nuove direzioni che l'industria della cosmesi stava prendendo; le stesse direzioni che stanno prendendo le nuove tecnologie: la natura, il biologico, il pulito. Da queste considerazioni, nel 2005, fondò la linea di make-up minerale &lt;/i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bellapierre&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The claims (source: &lt;a href="http://www.bellapierre.eu/shop/index.php/about-us/"&gt;http://www.bellapierre.eu/shop/index.php/about-us/&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="main_content"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a4769e;"&gt;Bellapierre Cosmetics&lt;/span&gt;  products are unique because of the fact that we produce and manufacture  our own products enabling us to respond quickly as the cosmetic market  trends change, the diversity of our colour pigments and the fact that  our product line is all based on natural ingredients appeals to all skin  types and tones.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="main_content"&gt;Dicono di sé stessi (fonte:&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bellapierre.eu/shop/index.php/about-us/"&gt;http://www.bellapierre.eu/shop/index.php/about-us/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; - traduzione mia):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I prodotti Bellapierre Cosmetics sono unici per via del fatto che noi stessi ci occupiamo della loro produzione e del loro assemblaggio. Ciò ci permette di rispondere con la stessa velocità con cui avvengono i cambiamenti di trend del mercato della cosmesi. La varietà di colore dei nostri pigmenti e il fatto che la nostra linea di prodotti è a base di ingredienti naturali si addice a tutti i tipi e le tonalità di pelle. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="main_content"&gt;Now, without further ado, these are the products that I chose, and I am going to review in the next couple of weeks. Curious much?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span class="main_content"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ora, senza indugiare oltre, questi sono i prodotti che scelsi al tempo, e di cui leggerete le recesioni nelle prossime settimane.

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DTfbvB1ubRQ/TjL_HbQJUYI/AAAAAAAAB2E/S_wN-CFZ-LY/s1600/265763_188514557870909_121833577872341_468378_2713417_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gM2fokb28Dw/TjMAXFNwEMI/AAAAAAAAB2Q/oGswvptxC_U/s1600/268695_189874634401568_121833577872341_473378_1254992_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Il costo medio per questa gamma si aggira infatti intorno ai 6 euro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dopo averci dato alcune delucidazioni in merito alla storia del marchio, al suo target, al rinnovamento, i gentilissimi organizzatori dell'evento ci hanno anche informate di alcune novità di prossima uscita. Tra queste, a mio parere, hanno spiccato su tutte: gli eyeliner in gel (con un packaging davvero interessante e comodo che permette di avere il pennello sempre a portata di mano, ma ben saldo al resto del prodotto) e gli smalti effetto craquelé (tralascerò qui il discorso inerente alle varie diciture riportate in Italia per questo tipo di effetto. Alcune sono davvero comiche. Sappiate che nel gergo dell'arte si dice "crettatura", cosa che sicuramente non si addice però al marketing dei trucchi. Meglio andare sul francese!) di svariati colori, tutti abbastanza accattivanti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5IBz1N-Pca8/TicAkrnpTtI/AAAAAAAAA5k/nmu7u9iowQU/s320/Prodotti+MISSBROADWAY.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5IBz1N-Pca8/TicAkrnpTtI/AAAAAAAAA5k/nmu7u9iowQU/s320/Prodotti+MISSBROADWAY.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ed ora vi lascio a qualche foto della giornata, in cui i meravigliosi signori di Broadway ci hanno omaggiati di puro relax e trattamenti termali.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X5w7XF0lfJ4/TjL_h9O-fYI/AAAAAAAAB2I/pOkOGQe-_OY/s1600/269909_189874737734891_121833577872341_473380_3038361_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X5w7XF0lfJ4/TjL_h9O-fYI/AAAAAAAAB2I/pOkOGQe-_OY/s320/269909_189874737734891_121833577872341_473380_3038361_n.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GPV8IhPReOg/TjL_qFwST1I/AAAAAAAAB2M/f8N2-D5QmGQ/s1600/268110_189875057734859_121833577872341_473384_5413500_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GPV8IhPReOg/TjL_qFwST1I/AAAAAAAAB2M/f8N2-D5QmGQ/s320/268110_189875057734859_121833577872341_473384_5413500_n.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un grazie a tutti loro e un grazie alle tante blogger con cui ho passato una splendida giornata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voi che ne pensate?

Talullah Tu needs no presentation amongst beauty addicts, I think, as we've all got to know about the company through the Pixiwoo sisters' videos and Tanya Burr's videos. Later on, for those of you who follow French channels, the jewellery pieces from the British brand were also displayed in Julie Loves Make-up videos.&lt;br /&gt;Their jewellery is accurately detailed, sturdy, and so original that it complements and spices up every outfit, even the simplest ones.&lt;br /&gt;The prices are not the cheapest, nor expensive. You basically pay for the quality that you get, but sometimes they also have sales, so keep your eyes peeled on the site!&lt;br /&gt;Go over www.talullahtu.com to browse collections and make orders. They provide international shipping, and they have giveaways on their facebook page, so make sure you "like it".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-a9L3BeytELA/TjBPHF5XlTI/AAAAAAAAB1s/vmCJo935Ngo/s1600/SDC14115.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Sons&lt;/i&gt; (one of most renowed agencies in Britain) to bring a service offering "&lt;b&gt;professional funeral make-up transformations&lt;/b&gt;" for "&lt;b&gt;the ultimate statement of celebration&lt;/b&gt;" (cfr. www.illamasqua.com/news/123/).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Non molto tempo fa, ho ricevuto una newsletter di Illamasqua che mi avvisava del loro ultimo servizio/iniziativa, dal nome &lt;b&gt;The Final Act of Self-Expression&lt;/b&gt; (espressione anglosassone che indica l'ultimo atto di espressione la propria personalità).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;In pratica, Illamasqua ha iniziato una collaborazione con l'agenzia funebre &lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;Leverton &amp;amp; Sons (se non la più conosciuta, sicuramente una delle più rinomate agenzie della Gran Bretagna) per offrire un servizio di "&lt;b&gt;trasformazioni e trucco professionale per funerali&lt;/b&gt;", per un'"&lt;b&gt;estrema dichiarazione&lt;/b&gt;" (cfr. www.illamasqua.com/news/123/ - sito in inglese).&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first, I couldn't believe what my eyes were reading, but then my mind went back to the sight of both my aunt and grandfather in their coffins. They both had a painful death, which was visible on their faces despite the "Monnalisa's smiles" (I can only imagine, arranged by funeral directors). Now, of course, my grandfather - eventhough he was very attentive to his looks when alive - would have never agreed to have make-up on his face, however, I am sure this service would have brought justice to my poor aunt, died of brain tumor, looking fat (because of medicines) and completely different on her funeral.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Di primo acchito, non riuscivo a credere ai miei occhi, ma in seguito la mia mente è andata a ripescare l'immagine di mia zia e di mio nonno nelle rispettive bare. Entrambi hanno avuto una morte dolorosa, che era ben visibile nei loro volti, nonostante gli enigmatici sorrisi à la Gioconda (che, posso solo immaginare, siano opera dell'agenzia funebre). Ora, certamente mio nonno - nonostante fosse un uomo molto attento al proprio aspetto - non sarebbe stato d'accordo con il cospargimento di trucco sul suo viso, invece penso che un servizio di questo tipo avrebbe reso un po' di giustizia alla mia povera zia, morta di tumore cerebrale, ingrassata dai medicinali e completamente diversa nel giorno del suo funerale.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In conclusion, am I pro this service? The jury is still out. Although I think that this can provide some people with dignity (and please, don't get me twisted here. I mean, some people live and die with a great dose of dignity, but the circumstances of their death may leave them looking less then decorous), I am also skeptical of how people can make great money off of dead people faces. I know, it's no different than what funeral directors do, anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Per concludere, sono a favore di questo servizio? Ancora non so. Nonostante pensi che possa restituire un po' di dignità ad alcune persone (e non fraintendetemi su questo punto. Intendo dire che alcune persone conducono una vita molto dignitosa, ma che le circostanze della loro morte spesso lasciano un aspetto non altrettanto dignitoso nei loro poveri volti), sono anche un po' scettica riguardo al fatto che alcuni possano fare dei bei soldoni dai visi delle persone morte. Lo so, non è granché differente rispetto a quanto fanno le agenzie funebri,&amp;nbsp; in ogni caso.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I want to ask you, beloved readers: what do you think?&lt;br /&gt;Maybe some of you can raise a good point for me to make up my mind on this service?!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Quindi, voglio chiedere a voi, care lettrici: cosa ne pensate?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Magari qualcuna di voi riesce a farmi finalmente decidere?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6677173460035712032-5024832726452732033?l=aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/feeds/5024832726452732033/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/07/penny-for-your-thoughts-illamasquas.html#comment-form' title='12 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/5024832726452732033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/5024832726452732033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/07/penny-for-your-thoughts-illamasquas.html' title='A penny for your thoughts: Illamasqua&apos;s The Final Act of Self-Expression service'/><author><name>Lydia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10221600051462988749</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yug_jRotQOg/TCG4tyuauZI/AAAAAAAABAU/UVJiG0bxw9o/S220/SDC11623.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-s_TBewcRWU8/TiVUgV_BTGI/AAAAAAAAEco/yW2BKKk4T8I/s72-c/final+act+of+expression+with+logos+RGB.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>12</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677173460035712032.post-9119840399506518968</id><published>2011-07-19T00:09:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-19T00:09:05.522+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='YSL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='review'/><title type='text'>Review: YSL Everlong Mascara</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qeVjX1LcFa0/TiSo4G06bII/AAAAAAAAB1o/y9ldG1WxWIo/s1600/SDC14094.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qeVjX1LcFa0/TiSo4G06bII/AAAAAAAAB1o/y9ldG1WxWIo/s320/SDC14094.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After hearing the hype on the &lt;b&gt;Faux Cils&lt;/b&gt; mascara from&lt;b&gt;YSL&lt;/b&gt;, I decided to try the &lt;b&gt;Everlong &lt;/b&gt;version that was on offer&amp;nbsp; (for 17 euros) at a local perfumery store this morning.&lt;br /&gt;Little did I know...I have nothing good to say about this product!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dopo aver sentito tante belle cose riguardo al mascara &lt;b&gt;Faux Cils&lt;/b&gt; di &lt;b&gt;YSL&lt;/b&gt;, ho deciso di provare la versione &lt;b&gt;Everlong &lt;/b&gt;che ho trovato in offerta in una profumeria della mia città proprio stamane.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Se avessi saputo...non avrei buttato un centesimo in quest'acquisto, non ho davvero niente di buono da dire su questo prodotto!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to admit that I think the lady that sold me this was trying to be a smart ass, as I suppose the mascara was opened before the sale and it was already dried up. That being said, even with its real formulation this product will do absolutely nothing to your lashes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Devo ammettere, però, che penso che la signora che me lo ha venduto stesse cercando di fare la furbacchiona, perché suppongo che il mascara fosse stato aperto da prima della vendita e si fosse già seccato da un po'. Detto ciò, anche da nuovo questo mascara non fa veramente un fico secco per le ciglia.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a product called (and marketed as) Everlong, you will find that it adds literally nothing to your natural lenght. Nor to your natural volume or curve. It does nothing at all!&lt;br /&gt;It has one of those silicone brushes with lots of spiky bristles, and all they do is providing a nice separation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sebbene il prodotto si chiami Everlong (e venga pubblicizzato come tale), non aggiunge proprio un bel niente alla lunghezza naturale delle ciglia. Né al volume o l'incurvatura naturale. Insomma, non fa nessun effetto!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ha uno di quegli scovolini di silicone con tante setole "appuntite", ma tutto quello che si riesce ad ottenere è una buona separazione. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dZra1TZacrg/TiSorbzHqoI/AAAAAAAAB1k/JM1iXWByITU/s1600/SDC14095.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dZra1TZacrg/TiSorbzHqoI/AAAAAAAAB1k/JM1iXWByITU/s320/SDC14095.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Personally, I wouldn't bother spending all that money in a product that does nothing but tinting my lashes for few hours, so avoid it!&lt;br /&gt;I believe the full price for this is over 23 euros, and I strongly discourage you spend a single penny on this. It was a waste of money for me, and I am certain it will be the same for you.&lt;br /&gt;Two thumbs down, Yves Saint-Laurent! Your mascara goes straight to the bin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Personalmente, non mi scomoderei a spendere tutti quei soldi per un prodotto che non fa niente più che tingere le mie ciglia per qualche oretta, quindi evitate anche voi!&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Credo che ilsuo prezzo pieno sia di 23 euro, e vi scoraggio dallo spenderci su perfino un centesimo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;E' stato davvero uno spreco di denaro per me e quasi certamente lo sarà anche per voi.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Non uno, ma due pollici versi, Yves Saint-Laurent!

Flitting effortlessly from poisonous pastel to hazardous neon,  this cataclysmic mix of brave new tones take your look to the outer  limits of nature's palette.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;Become a herald of the new age of Toxic Nature with uncharted night-time make-up&lt;/i&gt;".&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vampyvarnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/image007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.vampyvarnish.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/image007.jpg" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Image source: Google&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in March, Illamasqua introduced their new Spring/Summer collection, whose name says much about the shades of choice: Toxic Nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As usual, the promo imagery was pure art - everytime they put a new collection out you think you've seen the best, but it will surprise you how creative they can be. By far, along with Art of Darkness, this is my fave.&lt;br /&gt;Here is a taste (and for further images, just click on &lt;a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/"&gt;www.illamasqua.com&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.temptalia.com/images/summer2011/summer2011_illamasquatoxic006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.temptalia.com/images/summer2011/summer2011_illamasquatoxic006.jpg" width="239" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Image source: Temptalia&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main feature of this collection is undoubtedly the new &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Cream Pigments&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;b&gt;(£ 17,00)&lt;/b&gt;, a way better version of their past cream eyeshadows (which I own, but could never use if not as a liner because they used to crease ridiculously).&lt;br /&gt;This is what they say about them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Six neo-toxic colour mutations create the ultimate in textures on your  face, eyes, lips or body. Apply with an Illamasqua brush or simply use  your fingers for a buildable, water resistant, highly pigmented finish.  Layer under &lt;a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/catalogue/category/eyes/products/powder-eye-shadow/19/"&gt;Powder Eye Shadow&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.illamasqua.com/shop/catalogue/category/eyes/products/pure-pigment/21/"&gt;Pure Pigments&lt;/a&gt; for intensity".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Alex Box&lt;/b&gt;, Creative Director of Illamasqua, adds that Cream Pigments are "super-blendable, they can be pressed and blended into skin or slicked on for graphic shapes. Education is the key to pigments. Once you have learnt how to master them, you can control their impact". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m6mp10HFAe0/Tf46VpfyQPI/AAAAAAAAB08/O4rtMj8dGzY/s1600/SDC14027.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m6mp10HFAe0/Tf46VpfyQPI/AAAAAAAAB08/O4rtMj8dGzY/s320/SDC14027.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;What do I think?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Illamasqua's &lt;i&gt;Cream Pigments&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; are the ultimate &lt;b&gt;versatile &lt;/b&gt;product. At least 3 out of the 6 shades in the range can be worn on eyes, lips and face without making you look like a clown.&lt;br /&gt;It is really true that they are &lt;b&gt;super-blendable&lt;/b&gt; both with brushes or fingers. It is also true that they have a &lt;b&gt;matt&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;highly pigmented &lt;/b&gt;finish. It is amazing how much of a &lt;b&gt;color pay-off&lt;/b&gt; you can get by simply dabbing your finger once. They can make great bases on both eyes and lips for other colors, although I am really loving them on their own for now.&lt;br /&gt;As for the&lt;b&gt; water-resistant &lt;/b&gt;claim, I can confirm.&lt;br /&gt;One thing that has surprised me a bit is that one year ago, when I was talking to Alex about their past cream eyeshadows, she told me that they were being discontinued because Illamasqua wanted to put out a new product that didn't crease. Fortunately, there is no such claim as "creaseless pigments" in their description, because that isn't the case.&lt;br /&gt;In fact, I noticed that some shades do crease, some others stay put all day. Emerge, a beautiful peach tone, creases like crazy if you don't put a layer of powder onto it. Delirium, on the other hand stays perfectly put even in high humidity and on my oily eyelid. So, like Alex Box said: education is the key. You need to know which of the shades crease on the eyes, and which ones do not. You have to know what you want to do with your Cream Pigments.&lt;br /&gt;One by one, I will tell you my experience and thoughts of the 3 pigments I own:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-km93R4wOGQE/Tf46pzxodGI/AAAAAAAAB1A/Nrw3ffnUCuw/s1600/SDC14030.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-km93R4wOGQE/Tf46pzxodGI/AAAAAAAAB1A/Nrw3ffnUCuw/s320/SDC14030.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Emerge&lt;/b&gt;: Matt peach that brightens everything up, even under eye shadows. Used on the lids, it provides a neutral chich wash (at least, on my skin tone) of color, used under the eyes, it acts as a color correcting concealer (and it does conceal), but you can also use it as a highlighter on olive skins (or a subtle blusher on very pale skin tones), or as a nude lipstick (alternatively, you can blend it along your outer lips to make them look fuller). &lt;b&gt;This one creases a lot&lt;/b&gt; on oily eyelids if you don't use a powder over it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g0sL8R8Niec/Tf469SiviCI/AAAAAAAAB1E/LjpOa2OcnCo/s1600/SDC14032.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g0sL8R8Niec/Tf469SiviCI/AAAAAAAAB1E/LjpOa2OcnCo/s320/SDC14032.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dab:&lt;/b&gt; a gentle lilac for any season and acts as a great base for blue/indigo/purple powder eyeshadows. For the brave people out there, it can also be used on the lips for a 60's look. &lt;b&gt;Duration: medium.&lt;/b&gt; It tends to crease after some hours&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_g95LoVgqgg/Tf47HIkDq2I/AAAAAAAAB1I/Uz9qCykJdgM/s1600/SDC14031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_g95LoVgqgg/Tf47HIkDq2I/AAAAAAAAB1I/Uz9qCykJdgM/s320/SDC14031.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Delirium&lt;/b&gt;: my favorite! A gorgeous rose taupe shade. It is fantastic on the eyes, on the lips, on the cheeks (paired with red lipstick for an 80's glam look), and as a contour cream. I use it EVERYDAY as a contour cream and think it's the best I've ever tried. A matt contour product is not so easy to find. &lt;b&gt;Duration: great! &lt;/b&gt;On me, it stays put for hours and hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was also provided with an artist's palette, so that I can experiment with mixing and matching them, so do expect some experiments from me sooner or later (the palette is also great for mixing foundations, by the way).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TulJoewjoaw/Tf47RFEMEwI/AAAAAAAAB1M/tp3XGxVZ6e0/s1600/SDC14029.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TulJoewjoaw/Tf47RFEMEwI/AAAAAAAAB1M/tp3XGxVZ6e0/s320/SDC14029.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also two &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sheer Lipglosses&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; in the collection, I was sent the the deep fuchsia pink one, called &lt;b&gt;Divine (£13,00)&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Super glossy with a hint of color, this is just how I like my lipglosses. Plus, this is &lt;b&gt;non-sticky&lt;/b&gt;! Two thumbs up. It looks scary in the tube (although I couldn't make it and photograph its neon color), but it is really cute and sheer on the lips. You'll see the swatches when (and if) you get to the end of this review. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lQiaHn-i4jA/Tf47al7QlAI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/DQKjkPCB6_k/s1600/SDC14028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lQiaHn-i4jA/Tf47al7QlAI/AAAAAAAAB1Q/DQKjkPCB6_k/s320/SDC14028.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last product I had the chance to try is their &lt;b&gt;Nail Varnish in Gamma (£ 13,50)&lt;/b&gt;. I've already reviewed their nail polishes in the past, so I'll spare you some lines (eheh...). However, I must say I am not a fan of neon colors on the nails. I am just not the type. There are some cute varnishes in the collection (think Bacterium, Stagnate and Purity), though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, if you have actually made it til the end of this long, long, très long review...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...here are some swatches!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xV5zbBzd1Eo/Tf47uv1oS_I/AAAAAAAAB1U/zZQXJzqGk0M/s1600/SDC14033.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xV5zbBzd1Eo/Tf47uv1oS_I/AAAAAAAAB1U/zZQXJzqGk0M/s320/SDC14033.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;natural light&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UptIeW7pMMY/Tf47ymC4QfI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/XjOeaD0M2Vk/s1600/SDC14026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UptIeW7pMMY/Tf47ymC4QfI/AAAAAAAAB1Y/XjOeaD0M2Vk/s320/SDC14026.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;with flash&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just remember: "water-resistant" does not mean "creaseless".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;*Disclaimer: all products in this post were provided by the company for reviewing purposes* &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6677173460035712032-530700891000115272?l=aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/feeds/530700891000115272/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/06/review-and-swatches-illamasqua-toxic.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/530700891000115272'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/530700891000115272'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/06/review-and-swatches-illamasqua-toxic.html' title='Review and Swatches: Illamasqua Toxic Nature Cream Pigments, Sheer Lipgloss, and Nail Varnish'/><author><name>Lydia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10221600051462988749</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Yug_jRotQOg/TCG4tyuauZI/AAAAAAAABAU/UVJiG0bxw9o/S220/SDC11623.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-m6mp10HFAe0/Tf46VpfyQPI/AAAAAAAAB08/O4rtMj8dGzY/s72-c/SDC14027.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677173460035712032.post-5681814730197370698</id><published>2011-06-16T09:41:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-06-16T09:41:53.154+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='estee lauder'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='review'/><title type='text'>Review.

Won't smudge or come off on clothes. Oil-free. Fragrance-free. Non acnegenic.

Non macchia, né si trasferisce sugli abiti. Privo di oli(i) e fragranze. (a questo punto nella versione inglese dice anche che sia non-comedogeno, o non-acnegenico, quale delle due preferite) Dermatologicamente e oftamologicamente testato."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I think about it (are the claims true?) // Cosa ne penso io (è vero quel che dicono?):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. For All Skintypes&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;being an oil-free foundation, I am not sure this will suit dry-skinned ladies. However, I noticed on my skin (combination, so I have dry to normal areas here and there) that it still manages to look very nice on drier areas of my face (temples, back of the cheeks and jawline, above the cheeks). It certainly does a good job in balancing the different areas of a combination skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;1. Per tutti i tipi di pelle:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;essendo un fondotinta oil-free, non sono sicura che vada bene per le&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;ragazze con la pelle secca. Tuttavia ho notato che sulla mia pelle (mista, quindi ho alcune zone più secce qua e là) da comunque un bell'effetto anche nei punti più secchi&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(tempie, infondo alle guance, mascella, zigomi).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sicuramente bilancia bene le diverse zone della pelle mista.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Lightweight makeup&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;I dissent on that one. Lightweight to me is Diorskin Nude, or Clarins Skin Illusion, or Madina Sublime Touch. Even if you're used to liquid formulas like I am, this doesn't feel light. Not that it feels heavy or looks heavy, but it's a medium to full coverage foundation, therefore do not expect lightweight. Once it is set, though, you'd feel it as light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;2. Formula leggera:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Su quest'affermazione, dissentirei. Formula leggera per me è Diorskin Nude, o lo Skin Illusion di Clarins, o il Sublime Touch di Madina.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Anche se siete abituate alle formule liquide come lo sono io, questo fondotinta non&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;vi sembrerà affatto leggero. Non che sia pesante o vi trasformi in un cerone,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ma è un fondotinta con coprenza da media a totale, quindi non non potete proprio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;aspettarvi che sia leggero. Una volta asciutto, però, vi sembrerà più leggero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Wears comfortably up to 15 hours [...]&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;That is absolutely true. I live in Sardinia, and the weather is always very humid here (both winter and especially in summer), but this foundation sets on my skin immediately and lasts all day. Even if you touch your face a lot (like I do) it doesn't transfer or smudge easily. Perfect for those of you who are out all day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;3. Rimane inalterato fino a 15 ore [...]:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Assolutamente vero. Io vivo in Sardegna, dove l'umidità raggiunge delle percentuali&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sempre incredibili, sia d'inverno che d'estate, ma qusto fondotinta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;si asciuga immediatamente e dura tutto il giorno.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Anche se vi toccate tanto il viso (come faccio io), non si muove da lì. Perfetto per chi sta fuori di casa tutto il giorno. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Non acnegenic:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;True!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;4. Non comedogeno:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Vero! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Further remarks:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although some (you may hear this through Pixiwoo as well) say this is a full coverage foundation, you must know it is a medium to full coverage one. People who don't have many imperfections on their skin think it's full coverage because it gives them a porcelain doll look, but if you have acne scars like I do, then you'd notice that you may have to add a tiny amount directly on the scars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oLrOaRZxXHM/TfmzClUg8aI/AAAAAAAAB04/MAGl-GIRw8M/s1600/SDC14023.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oLrOaRZxXHM/TfmzClUg8aI/AAAAAAAAB04/MAGl-GIRw8M/s320/SDC14023.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Why do I always look that pale? / Perché sembro semper così pallida?&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;However, I have noticed this happens if you apply it with a brush. If you use your fingers to apply it, you'll get the maximum coverage from it, and your scars will disappear fast. So, definitely, this is a foundation that works better if applied with hands.&lt;br /&gt;Another reason why it's best applied with hands is that it dries in seconds, and if you apply this with a brush, you may end up with some streaks even when you're super fast. Once this foundation is set, there's no way that you can blend it more.&lt;br /&gt;Eventhough it dries really fast, you may notice that your skin doesn't absorb it as fast as it sets. You may want to consider doing your eyes and lips before applying bronzers, or blushers, or whatever face powder you intend to use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ulteriori osservazioni:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Anche se capita di sentire (anche da Pixiwoo, ad esempio) che questo fondotinta ha una coprenza&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;totale, dovete sapere che in realtà è una coprenza da media a totale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Le persone che non hanno grandi imperfezioni pensano sia totale, perché riesce&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;subito a donare un effetto "bambola di porcellana", ma se avete delle cicatrici dovute all'acne come me, allora noterete che dovete aggiungerne un pochetto direttamente&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;sulle cicatrici.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Tuttavia, ho notato che questo succede se usate un pennello; se invece usate&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;le dita, otterrete una maggiore coprenza (stavolta sul serio totale ed immediata).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Quindi, decisamente questo fondotinta ha prestazioni migliori se applicato con le dita.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Un altro motivo per cui è meglio applicarlo con le dita consiste nel fatto che si&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;asciuga veramente in due secondi, e se applicato con un pennello rischiate di finire con striscette qua e là anche se siete velocissime a sfumare. Infatti,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;una volta che si asciuga non c'è modo di sfumare ulteriormente questo fondotinta.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Anche se si asciuga in maniera molto molto rapida, noterete che la pelle non&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;lo assorbe così tanto in fretta, per cui sarebbe meglio dedicarsi agli occhi e alle labbra prima di&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;mettere terra, o blush, o qualsiasi altra polvere viso. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said, I do love this foundation for its matte yet not flattening finish (it still manages to look luminous), for its lasting performance.&lt;br /&gt;What I don't like about it is that it costs a lot (€ 38 or more) and that it doesn't come with a pump, which always results in some product waste. Estée Lauder, if you're reading this: for € 38 I really suggest you add a pump if you want me to re-purchase the foundation!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Detto ciò, adoro questo fondotinta per il finish matte che però non appiattisce (sembra comunque luminoso) e per la durata.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Quello che non mi piace è il prezzo (€ 38 o anche di più) ed il fatto che non abbia pompetta, il che fa sempre sprecare molto prodotto. Estée Lauder, se mi leggete: per 38 euro, vi suggerisco di aggiungere una pompetta se volete che vi ricompri il fondotinta!!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6677173460035712032-5681814730197370698?l=aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/feeds/5681814730197370698/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/06/review-estee-lauder-double-wear-stay-in.html#comment-form' title='17 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/5681814730197370698'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6677173460035712032/posts/default/5681814730197370698'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aliceinwonderland348.blogspot.com/2011/06/review-estee-lauder-double-wear-stay-in.html' title='Review.

Una stagione che richiede particolari attenzioni per la pelle perché sole, aria condizionata, aereo, inquinamento e stress minano l’equilibrio cutaneo, in particolar modo ne indeboliscono la corretta idratazione rendendo la cute più disidratata. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;E’ risaputo che l'acqua è il nostro costituente fondamentale: in un neonato raggiunge circa il 75% del peso corporeo mentre, in età adulta è presente in una quantità pari al 60%. La &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;pelle&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;, soprattutto negli strati più profondi, è la parte del corpo dove l'acqua è presente in maggior quantità, addirittura il  70%. Bere abbondantemente aiuta a mantenere la pelle ben idratata, elastica e più giovane, soprattutto nei mesi estivi. Ma non solo: è necessario aiutare la pelle anche dall’esterno con i corretti prodotti idratanti di trattamento e di makeup per avere un viso tonico e riposato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Clinique consiglia i prodotti must-have del beauty case dell’estate per una pelle stupenda e un look da star senza sorprese sotto al sole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Gli specialisti dell'idratazione&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6Pi4Gs6wEnI/TfZQABrR38I/AAAAAAAABz4/dKDsUvV9Ab8/s1600/Moisture+Surge+-+Extended+Thirst+Relief_Icon_Global.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6Pi4Gs6wEnI/TfZQABrR38I/AAAAAAAABz4/dKDsUvV9Ab8/s200/Moisture+Surge+-+Extended+Thirst+Relief_Icon_Global.jpg" width="185" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #649282;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Moistu&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #649282;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;re Surge Extended Thirst Relief – 50 ml, € 44,90&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-right: 2.06cm;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;Estrema freschezza accompagnata da &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;24 ore&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Helvetica LT Std Light,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt; di intensa idratazione.
