Balsams, sticks and oil: 10 solid care products
margarita virova
Solid makeup is familiar to everyone and this format has many advantages - especially in the eyes of those who travel frequently. In sticks and tiles, various brands produce not only shampoos and decorative cosmetics, but also complete skin care products. We have collected ten solid products that can easily become the basis of road cosmetics and successfully replace fluids.
H2O + Elements On-the-Move Cleansing Stick Cleanser
1699 rub.
This is, in general, a simple cleanser that works like a mild soap: it foams easily, cleans well. It is intended not for makeup removal, but for quick washing, for example, after going to the gym or swimming pool. It does not have a bright fragrance and magical properties, but such an unobtrusive washbasin is ideal for use on trips. Nevertheless, soap can dry sensitive and dry skin, so do not forget about moisturizing cream.
Brightening Serum Milk Makeup Watermelon Brightening Serum
$36
The brand recently announced that its products are becoming 100% vegan. Be that as it may, she continues to experiment with hard formats - and it turns out great. The Milk assortment already has cleansing, refreshing and moisturizing sticks, and now they have added solid serum with watermelon extract, which promises to moisturize, lighten and even out skin tone. It sounds serious: the tool may well replace the basic care with the participation of liquids. The previous Milk sticks came out comfortable, so we recommend looking at the watermelon novelty too - if, of course, you really want to lighten the skin.
Erborian Solid Cleansing Oil
2500 rub.
It is clear hydrophilic oil in a solid format that is convenient to use at home and on the road: it smells soothing with herbs and completely dissolves makeup, including waterproof, for a couple of minutes. The French-Korean brand has the most artsy representative of this category of products - even a spatula for application is attached, which improves hygiene of use. However, inexpensive and not inferior to the purifying qualities of analogs can be found in different brands from Asia, as well as in the nearest Organic Shop.
Sunscreen body oil Lush "Sunblock"
670 rub.
It is possible not to be surprised at the firm Sanskrin: Lush generally can make any kind of food solid - for example, they also have facial serum, in the shape of a pretty petal. A popular zinc oxide is used as a filter. The oil has a comfortable body texture: the product thaws easily when it comes into contact with the skin and is well distributed. This is primarily a beach remedy with which the city will not be too comfortable: there is a noticeable thick layer of “Sanblock” on the skin. But in a vacation suitcase it is more pleasant to carry it, than a bulky bottle.
Refreshing ILIA Cucumber Water Stick Toner
$42
The brand with an organic bias and beautiful packages has not only perfect make-up sticks, but also a cool toner that appeared before Milk sticks - it can be used to prepare the skin for basic moisturizing, refresh it like thermal water during the day, and apply make up. A handy thing to use in the cabin of an aircraft or a car: in addition to perceptible soothing and softening the skin, the promised cooling is noticed in the first few minutes.
Tony Moly Panda's Cool Skin Sticker Dream So Cool Eye Stick
910 rub.
A pleasant, although somewhat toy means - also with cooling special effects. On the journey, it will replace patches from the refrigerator, although it will not be able to remove noticeable edemas: in fact, it is a very light cream with niacinamide, which will insure during the trip and take no more space than lip balm. It will be useless as the main tool, but massage and five-minute preparations with it will become more pleasant - especially if you do makeup on the plane and are worried about preparing the skin around the eyes.
Caolion Pore Glowing Moisture Stick Moisturizing Stick
499 rub.
Another Korean product that exists in two versions: matting and radiant. Both are moisturizing balsams with a very light texture, thanks to which they can be used even on top of makeup (without smearing the product, but rather with fingers). The concept of the product tends towards the “natural” look in its Asian sense, therefore the stick tries to be both lightweight care and a highlight glitter.
Primer Stila Aqua Glow Perfecting Primer
$28
Base under makeup in the stick: slightly moisturizes, softens and smoothes the skin, that is, it does everything it needs. Make-up lays down on her really well, so you can apply a very thin layer, prepare separate areas or the entire face, if the skin is prone to dryness. With peeling can not cope, but otherwise it is a full-fledged primer, competing with cream counterparts. Like many similar products, there is a dubious effect of "grouting" pores.
Kérastase Elixir Ultime Solid Serum Hard Hair Balm
2790 rub.
Indelible hair oil in a solid format that replaces a similar liquid: softens, smoothes the strands and makes them shine. To use such a tool is a bit unusual: from the jar you need to take quite a bit and rub it in your hands, and then apply it on the desired areas of hair. It's nice to do it precisely pointwise and on the go - the balm will definitely be the way after a sudden rain at the exit from the airport; outside the holiday it is suitable for daily care and styling.
J. R. Liggett Hard Shampoo
420 rub.
The hard shampoo that is popular on iHerb, which exists in five variants - the difference in the oils and extracts contained, but the effects do not differ. The shampoo washes the hair well, it requires the use of an air conditioner afterwards, but also when used independently it will not leave dryness if the hair is not damaged initially. A conscientious, sulfate-free remedy with a fairly economical expense, besides being vegan: the tiles are packed in recycled paper, and the product itself does not contain animal ingredients.
