Sweet Life: Cosmetics for chocolate lovers
AUTHOR BLOGFierce & Cute Moore Soboleva once a week makes for us a thematic selection of products from his extensive collection of cosmetics. In the new issue - balms, body scrubs, masks and other cosmetics, inspired by chocolate.
Shadow pencil Maybelline Master Smoky Smoky Chocolate
The best way to make your eyes look languid, like an Italian film actress, is to apply a soft thick pencil along the ciliary contour and vigorously shade. In the Maybelline Master Smoky line I like black and gray most of all, but the dark cold brown Smoky Chocolate is also quite good. Also, these pencils are good as a substrate under dark shadows, but I usually don’t bother so much.
Body and Massage Oil Demeter Brownie
With regard to pastry aromas, the sweet tooth fights in me with a snob and an esthete who cannot walk down the street, exuding the smell of an oven. Besides, I quickly get tired of gourmet smells. The perfect compromise is the means for the body, and in particular, this oil. It not only stunningly smells of all the chocolate desserts of the world (there is a physical sensation that you rub liquid calories into your skin), but it also gives the body an almost indecent glossy shine, as in the pop videos of the 90s. You can feel like the queen of a school disco without feeling ashamed of it.
Gloss-balsam "L'Etoile" BB Bon Baume Chocolait Au Lait
Modest beige shade with small golden sparkles, very delicate. The brand "L'Etoile" relatively recently made this line of moisturizing tinting lip balms, each of which is named after the French dessert. Alas, unlike the expensive "dead" Dior, here the smell is all the same, but pleasant. The balms themselves are indistinguishable in appearance from the Clarins Eclat Minute - which, of course, does not speak in favor of “L'Etoile”, whose really great products are often overshadowed by such foolish plagiarism.
Shadows Clinique Pink Chocolate
Cute casual palette of shadows from the recently updated All About Shadow line. Nude-shades of the brand have traditionally worked out well, but here they turned out to be quite boring due to a pronounced pink note in each of the shades. The only thing - it is necessary to take into account that the shadows are rather poorly pigmented: they are intended for hints and play, and not for games with color. The base saves the day, but you should not count on a particularly bright make-up anyway, for this there are many other palettes.
Montale Chocolate Greedy Flavor
As mentioned above, I have a difficult relationship with pastry flavors, so when I was recently presented with this Montale, I applied it cautiously, first, to the hand of a child who, due to his tender age, was allowed to smell like candy. Chocolate Greedy passed the test perfectly and I tried it on myself - a beautiful, deep, intimate aroma with strong vanilla notes. Fans of gourmet smells should rush after him to the store right now - this is one of the best, most noble instances. I decided to return to this flavor in the winter, when such warm sweetness is more appropriate.
Clarins Gloss Prodige Chocolat Lip Gloss
Gloss Prodige is one of the first series of non-sticky, gel-polish last generation and one of my favorites: excellent comfortable texture and good colors. Chocolat is interesting with a thick, but very small silver shimmer, which is clearly visible in the tube and is almost invisible on the lips. Contrary to bad forebodings, this shimmer does not allow the brilliance to turn into a nightmare of eighties brown lipstick, but makes it an interesting and restrained shade in the style of my lips but better. Great summer option, suitable for any makeup.
Body Scrub The Body Shop Chocomania
The attentive reader of this column, if there is one, probably suspects that I have some monstrous deposits of body scrubs and only one of them leaves me. This is not the case, but for some reason, scrubs are usually suitable for collection topics. Of the entire series of Chocomania, I only had a scrub, and it is very good - with small abrasive particles and oil-based. In the case of Chocomania, the naturalism of the fragrance, traditional for The Body Shop, is able to play a cruel joke with the consumer - the means are so heartbreakingly seductively smelling of chocolate cakes that you can not restrain yourself and eat them for the night.
Lac Essie Chocolate Cakes
Playful creamy varnish of milk chocolate color with a light cherry note - for those frivolous persons who like vamp shades, but I want to reduce their degree of marfatality. For me, this varnish is still too brown - I just love more cherry and dark versions. But, since Essie lacquers are one of my many weaknesses and I consider them ideal on all sides, I gladly keep it in the collection.
Nourishing and moisturizing chocolate body mask "Mylovarov"
The invention of a worthy domestic brand, which is called "Russian LUSH". As far as I'm greedy for all sorts of cosmetic oddities (body mask! Hoo!), I'm just as lazy (body mask? 10-20 minutes?), So the mask has been waiting its time for quite some time. It consists of a mix of cocoa butter with other oils, so theoretically it can be used as a butter and not rinsed. In practice, you all appear to be smeared with thick, fragrant dark mash and look more like a frightened kindergartener than a heroine of erotic fantasies involving food. The idea is cool, and the mask nourishes the skin well, but for regular procedures it is obviously necessary to have more time and desire to engage in yourself than I have.
Shadows Aquolina Chocolovers Nougat Eye Shadow
I'm not sure that the fun brand Aquolina, which became famous for the coolest fruit and cocktail shower gels a few years ago, is still sporting in our market. The brand had a series of Chocolovers, dizzy smelling like nutella and cookies, and I bought almost all of it. In addition to the means for the body, from which I did not have a trace, the brand released a small (and also flavored) series of decorative cosmetics. I bought lip shadows and lip gloss, and they, of course, are still alive. I don’t really like warm brown shades in cosmetics, so I mostly used these things to admire them, but I don’t regret buying one, because how can I regret something that smells like chocolate and decorated with hearts.
