Hello :)
i don't know if you noticed but i really like trying out cosmetics and skincare products. Budget friendly ones to be specific :) .
And Just in time for winter and skin dehydration most of us will be looking for a good moisturizer to pamper our skin and keep it as soft as a baby's bottom for the entire season :D .
That is why  today we will be putting the " Garnier Skin Naturals" moisturizers to the test.
I have never actually tried something from Garnier until i HAD the urge to try the super Hyped about BB cream. when i turned out to be a very great product i was curious to buy more stuff from their range.

It all started when i was looking for skin primer and, by coincidence,i ran into a Garnier Pure 24hrs moisturizing care.
This product promises to matify your skin and fill you pores  leaving you with a smooth blurred skin.
well, i m not quite  sure about the pore-filling part but let me tell you, this product , if applied underneath your makeup  will help your foundation stay on for a much longer time. so it does leave your oily skin matte and moisturized thanks to its gel-lish texture
The tube contains 40 mL but i have been using it daily for the past year  and i still have a litlle bit left. As you can see the tube is quite empty :D.

Since i had a very enjoyable experience with the Garnier pure i decided to go ahead and try another moisturizer but this time it was the light oil control. it promises to trap oil for 8 hours and make your skin lighter ( i honestly don't care about the light part).
well, let me tell you !! this product broke me out like CRAZY! i am talking INSTANT break outs and there isn't such a thing as oil trapping about this product it does mattify for a while and then oil starts litterally leaking from your face. i wouldn't honestly recommend this to anyone . i don;t know if it was my skin reacting badly to tt or if it's the product but it was not enjoyable at ALL.

 

But still when i rna out the Garnier pure i wanted to try another one. However this time my skin is not as oily as it used to be. it has become more sensitive, i have a little dry patches here and there. so i bought " creme bienfaisante" ( available in EU and the MENA region i don't know about the other parts of the world).

it promises 24 hrs hydration and to soften your skin. well let me tell you this product DID make my skin smoother and stretchier. it made me forget about the bad experience with the light oil control. 

i will use it on a longer term and keep you updated about my experience.

 

VERDICT: the Garnier skin naturals is an overall good range of products. the products are quite affordable ( 10 TND) and have satisfying results for a drugstore product. they are not miraculous but i would definitely recommend them to people with limited budgets.

Hello :)  i am very happy to be writing my first blog post. and to get started i wanted to talk about a holy grail very affordable product.

well, as we all know makeup can get a little bit too costly and expensive especially with the highly overpriced brands. However, i strongly believe that the amount of money paid for a product is NOT what defines it.
I have actually found some very interesting cheap makeup products that still are very good quality

Today's drugstore find is the Essence Lip liners. For those who don't know essence, it is a German drugstore brand made in EU. and sold worldwide ( online or stores). i have tried so many products from their HUGE range ( tell me in the comments if you would like a review). But today i will be speaking about these liners in particular.

Well, i own only 3 out of the 9 colors available but let me tell you that these are so creamy you won't believe how moisturizing they can be. they don't give you that dry lips feeling or patchy look. However since they are very creamy they tend to settle in lip lines so don't use a lip balm underneath.

When it comes to pigmentation  OMG they are all highly pigmented and give an amazing color pay off.
the color range is small but still versatile, providing different everyday shades from w nude beige to a bold red ( Femme Fatale said to be a dupe for MAC Ruby Woo).
My favorite is definitely "satin mauve" a light lavender with blue undertones. i got sooo many compliments from guys and girls when rocking it.

FINAL VERDICT: this product has become a must for me i would repurchase and stock up on these babies. i would say that these are no lip liners these are lipsticks in a pencil.
