Clarins Joli Rouge Velvet, review, beauty blogger

The lipstick is my favourite makeup tool and the beauty essential that makes me always feel feminine and beautiful. I love my lipsticks bright, high in pigments and with a matte finish.

Therefore I was very excited to hear that Clarins released a new matte version of its legendary golden Lipstick. After silky Joli Rouge and shiny Rouge Joli Brilliant, this is the third finish of the line and the one I’ve been anticipating.

Joli Rouge Velvet is a longlasting and hydrating lipstick with a creamy texture. Thanks to its base of organic Salicornia extract and apricot oil it’s exactly as moisturizing as Clarins promises. I found Joli Rouge Velvet very easy to apply because it glides very gently on the skin. The elegant golden packaging is another bonus for a little bit of movie star glamour in the handbag.

It comes in 10 striking shades, so there must be one for every girl, no matter if you are the plum type, spicy chili, grenadine or rather pink cranberry. All you need to do is choose and smile.

Be ready to be kissed wearing your Joli Rouge Velvet, cause it always all starts with a kiss. 😉

Skin as smooth as rose petals? Glov promises to help!

The two sizes Comfort (rectangular) and On-The-Go (small).

My least favourite part of the day is to get ready for bed. I must look like a grumpy panda while I desperately try to get rid of my make-up. It’s not my intention to insult pandas, but their look just doesn’t suit me at all, and I ask myself if there is no gentler way to get a fresh and clean face. Then Glov came and promised help, thanks to its advanced micro-technology that works without chemicals and residues.

Glov is a patented cosmetic accessory that claims to be the world’s best make-up removal. Its special micro fibre is perfect for any skin and works as a magnet on make-up. No matter how strong your mascara or lipstick is, glove removes it while it helps to maintain the natural hydrolipidic barrier of your skin.

All you need is to apply water to your Glov and remove your make-up with a circular motion. After use, you can wash Glov with soap and let it dry. Glov is reusable for up to three months.

Glov comes in two versions: Comfort is perfect for home and can be used as a home spa accessory. On-the-Go takes up almost no space in your luggage and is made to be your new travel companion.

My experience with Glov

“This is just too good to work” was my first thought when I heard about Glov. Could the times of burning eye makeup removers be over now and forever? When I opened the packaging, I was surprised how soft the glove is. I applied warm water to it for a reflexing effect and instantly had to think of those lovely smelling towels you get at Asian restaurants after eating. The makeup disappeared quite fast. Just my mascara tried to resist because I don’t like to rub around my eyes. But with a little bit of patience this was solved.

Afterwards, my skin felt matte, clean and very smooth. The experience of having just nothing on the skin was (and still is) amazing and very new to me. I just wanted more. The only thing I disliked is the procedure of washing out the Glov with soap. It takes a lot of soap and patience, and it’s almost impossible to keep it perfectly white.

I am testing Glov for a week now and day after day I get more fond of it. My skin feels very smooth and either if I imagine or not, I have the feeling that especially the area around my eyes feels less stressed then when I use a makeup remover. I’ll definitely keep using this product!

This is the first cosmetic review post ever on this blog. I think the products I discovered fit so well to my blog and I couldn’t resist. I am strongly influenced by Japanese fashion, I love South Korean movies and now I found another love made in South Korea: Cute, very kawaii make up from Tony Moly and Etude house. All their products have the most pretty packages you’ve ever seen and their prices are very reasonable, even if you have to import them. I tested three products for you and let you know about my experience.
Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar, 9 Neon Red
Let’s face it, I rarely go out with natural looking lips. Usually a bold, bright lipstick makes me feel very good. Therefor this gloss bar is not really the product I would wear every day. It leaves just a hint of colour on the lips, but it makes them smooth and shiny. Despite the colour being called neon red, it’s more a pinkish shade. The lip gloss bar has a light fruity candy scent, which reminds me of my teenage years. All the girls at school had lip gloss and a huge variety of sweet scents. I suffered from several allergic reactions, because of them. With this lip gloss, I don’t have any issues at all, just nicely hydrated lips. There are about 10 different shades available, all with a different smell and another cute little face printed on the packaging.
Etude House Sweet Recipe Ice Cream Nails, 04 Strawberry Stars
Isn’t it a genious idea to design a nail polish packaging that looks like an ice cream cone? I love the light pink colour of it and the pretty glitter. The brush is flat which makes the nail polish easy to apply. It’s a little bit vicious and you definitely need to apply at least two layers, till it’s well covering. If you want to have a really opaque look, I think you might need 3 shades. It doesn’t chip off easily, after three days of wearing it, it looks still perfect on my nails. All in all I think this nail polish can’t compete with my Essie polishes, but it’s cheaper and the pretty packaging is worth buying it.
Etude House Missing U Hand Cream #3, This is “Panda Story”
This panda that appears like a mini matryoshka doll is indeed a hand cream. It smells pleasantly of peach, maybe a little bit artificial. The cream contains shea butter, natural herbs and olives. The texture of the cream is light and it leaves no greasy film on your hands, but makes them smooth and feeling hydrated. However, if you have very dry hands, you might need another cream. The packaging is probably the best thing about the cream, it’s cute beyond all meanings, but it’s maybe as well a minus: The size is very small. It contains just 30 ml of hand cream, which is gone very fast if you use it regularly. The good news: There are three other cute animals waiting, all of them containing a different scent of hand cream and you can collect them all and make your girls jealous, when you take one of them out of your hand bag.
Where to buy: I ordered everything over Ebay. There are many sellers. The delivery from South Korea was surprisingly fast and without any problems. I definitely have to come back for other products and would love to try out more from both of this brands.

It’s definitely time for ice cream now! Which is your favourite flavor? I can’t decide, because I love all the pretty pastel colours at the ice cream parlour. This outfit brings all of them together: Baby Pink like strawberry, lemon yellow, berry purple and blue like the mysterious ice cream called “smurfs”. The outfit starts with a cone on the head and ends with one at the heel. Both of this pieces made me shriek out with pleasure when I saw them first. I think the fascinator from Pearls & Swine and the shoes from Karl Lagerfeld from Melissa are perfection. I need both of them in my life for my perfect summer feeling, don’t you agree?

I would love to play a little game and pretend that I work at an ice cream parlour, providing all of you with the most delicious ice cream you ever tasted. I would wear my cone fascinator every day and sell pistachio, vanilla and coconut. An ice cream girl dressed like this would be the attraction of the city for sure!

Don’t you think this outfit is sweeter than any flavour of ice cream?
