I have had so much lately that I was a little behind with answering comments etc. Therefore, I just thought to mention in a post now that I have gone through and answered all the questions now, so you know! :)

If I have missed something or if you do not have the strength to scroll through the posts, just write again and I will respond as quickly as I can. Always trying to respond to all your comments and emails! Some days I think I blog as much as I answer questions haha, the comments are usually short but all email conversations are all the longer. But I like it, love to help!

And when I still write about it, I want to take the opportunity to thank you for all your kind words too :) You seem to be the most wonderful people in the world! I always get just as happy when the phone rings when I get a comment, and I often read through the comments several times when I want to feel a little extra popular;)

You are the best! ♥

Red in the face? Use Pixi Redness Reducing Primer

Pixi Redness Reducing Primer is a great face primer that is slightly green tinted and therefore neutralizes red areas of the face. Available for purchase at Byher.se!

I have taken before and after pictures with it today and thought to show you now :)

Difference huh? Look at the close wings!

My problem area is around the nose where I am both generally red-flamed but also have visible blood vessels. And it's mostly because of the redness that I put on make-up with base make-up that I want to feel nice, even when I could actually be without make-up. My little pimples and the like do not bother me much at all.

But with this primer, it is only to apply on desired areas (or all over the face) and then you can go completely unmade.

It is also good even if you are going to put on make-up with opaque make-up, because then you do not need as much foundation and concealer over which is both economical and gives a more natural and sustainable result!

What is Pixi Redness Reducing Primer?
A face primer that does not provide coverage, but evens out the skin tone only with the help of green pigments. Green neutralizes red and reduces redness of the skin. Also makes the remaining base makeup last longer.

Contains, among other things, vitamin E, sunflower oil, aloe vera and safflower oil which together soothe, nourish and moisturize the skin.

The primer received a 5 out of 5 rating by Daisy Beauty January / February 2015.

How to use the primer?
Can be used in different ways, with or without covering makeup over, on only parts of the face or in the whole. Lubricate with clean fingers and massage it into the skin.

Can you use the primer for preventive purposes if you e.g. easy to blush?
Yes! Unlike a green concealer (which looks green if it ends up on a skin that is not red), this is more mildly pigmented and will not give the skin a green tone even where it is not red.

Which is better, Pixi Redness Reducing Primer or Zuii Organic Color Corrective Base Mint?
I have already had this question a few times and therefore thought to address it now :) Both of these green face primers work in the same way, you can read my post about Zuii's primer in this post.

The biggest difference is that Zuii's primer is a little more effective, which is good if you e.g. have red blemishes and things that require a little extra to be neutralized. Pixis is therefore better if you e.g. wants to be unmade up too, because you can take quite a lot of it without the skin tone getting cold, which it can be if you take a lot of Zuii. You can use Zuii even if you want to be unmade, but then you have to be more frugal, so I recommend it most for you who have a lot of red and who usually put on make-up with opaque make-up as well.

It works well under all the foundations I have tested, but I experience that the Pixi H2O Skintint does not go into the skin as well if you have this primer underneath. The result is great, but the Skintinten must be massaged in much more carefully, so it can be good to know if you are considering buying both of them at the same time.

I let the pictures speak for themselves, the result is natural at the same time as it is effective!

Two thumbs up :)

Midsummer makeup - Natural makeup

I am a little behind in the publication of my weekend make-up, but I celebrated both on Midsummer's Eve and on Midsummer's Day and took photos of my make-up then, so now a few days later I offer some pictures of my midsummer make-up :)

And I can say even before that something I do very rarely, but as I did now, was to put on make-up exactly as I wanted to look, and did not think at all about what I would rather show in the blog. So both Friday's and Saturday's make - up are quick, simple and down to earth because that's what I felt for. Hope you like it!

Good summer deodorant - Biotherm DEO

0

In the summer, it is important to have a good deodorant, and now I have tested a deodorant from Biotherm that I thought I would tell you about. I got a press sample Biotherm Pure Invisible 48h roll-on Deodorant a few weeks ago, and have been using it ever since :)

IMG_3983_111

It is a roll-on deodorant that is also an antiperspirant (makes you sweat less). It should last for 48 hours, soothe the skin and not stain the clothes.

I think this is a very nice deodorant!
♥ It smells good and floral, very fresh.
♥ It dries quickly and hair into the skin well, which I think is an important property. Hate deos that feel sticky after application.
♥ It feels gentle and good on the skin.
♥ It is effective even on the hotter summer days!

The only thing I think is weird is that it markets itself as being stain-free on clothes, and yes to some extent I agree because when it has dried it does not stain, but if you wear something black immediately after application, the clothes get white spots. It is not completely spotless.

I basically like everything with this deodorant, think it is great! The price is SEK 179, which is certainly a dealbreaker for many, but you get 75 ml of very good deodorant in any case :)

Any of you who tested?
