TOP 5 Summer Nailpolishes

Hello everyone :)

A summer inspired post is here today :D And I'll just show you my top 5 nailpolishes for summer, which I'll post in a random order ;)


1. KIKO 389 - Mint Milk


I don't know about you, but mint is one of my favorite colours for summer, and I love it also on nails ;) As you can see on the picture above I included 2 mint nailpolishes in this post, but let me tell you, they are different ;) This Kiko one is more green based mint. You definitely need to put 2 coats on with this polish, because the first coat is a bit streaky. 



2. ESSENCE - 24 Indian Summer

 
This next nailpolish from Essence is this beautiful peachy orange. The formula of this new gel nailpolishes is really good. I didn't take pictures when I had this nailpolish on my nails, so I'll show you a photo I found on Google.

3. YES LOVE - T3 Mint


Another mint nail polish ;) But this one is more blue based than Kiko. So they are quite different :) Oh and for anyone that doesn't know, you can find this Yes Love nailpolishes in Chinese stores, they are quite cheap and they do have a lot of colours to chose from. The formula is really nice, however you do need 2 coats to have it fully opaque. 



4. ELF - Innocent


Well this here is my favourite nude nail polish ever, EVER :D I'll run out of it soon, and I hope the Essence nude nail polish from Nauti girl LE will be similar to this, I haven't tried it yet.


5. AVON GLOW - Fuchsia


A bright colour is definitely nice for the summer and looks beautiful when your skin is tanned ;)


I hope you enjoyed this post. Oh and if you liked it, please let me know if you would like to see my top 5 summer lipsticks or anything else! :) 

Have a nice day,
Katja

REVIEW: La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat

Hello everyone :)

I'm back with another review for you, I hope you'll enjoy it ;) Today I'll share with you my opinion on the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat moisturizer. La Roche-Posay is a French skincare brand, for anyone that doesn't know. In basic, the Effaclar line is designed for those of us who have numerous imperfections like blocked pores, blemish prone and uneven skin tone.


What they promise: "an oil-free blotting effect texture with a proven long lasting mattifying effect resulting in moisturized, mattified skin immediately which works excellently as a make up base. Prolonged use in mornings and/or evenings claims to refine skin texture, tighten pores and slow down sebum production."

The packaging is nice, it has a squeeze top.  Give it a gentle squeeze and you can easily control how much product comes out. This however becomes a pain when you're coming to the end of a tube.


I didn't have a problem with my skin texture before, but I've noticed my skin feels really soft and smooth lately. I haven't really noticed a difference in my pores and also I didn't notice it had an impact on sebum production.


Well I don't know, but this product didn't impress me, especially for the price. It does make a good makeup base, but for that only you can find much cheaper makeup bases..

PROS:
- good makeup base
- does make your skin smooth

CONS:
- the price
- doesn't tighten my pores
- doesn't slow down the sebum production

All in all I'm quite disappointed in this product, I expected a lot more.
Let me know what you think ;)

xoxo,
Katja
