Hits and mises from Erborian

Welcome to my blog! This week I want to share my experience with Erborian. This is a Korean beauty brand tightly collaborating with French skincare experts and its main mission is to create innovative products for perfect and healthy-looking skin. I heard so many great things about them, so when it finally became quite widely available in our country, I just had to give it a try.

The first product I bought was Bamboo matte cream - I would call this a basic moisturizer for oily and combination skin (like mine) that gives a long-lasting mattifying effect with enough hydration. It leaves your skin fresh and more even. It is slightly scented, but the scent is not disturbing and goes away quickly.



I would say, this is great only for hot weather, but otherwise, it can be too light. Unless your skin is really oily. I believe it is light enough to be used with your SPF.

It does not mattify my T-zone through the whole day, but it never leaves me super oily, just shiny.

I would buy this again for the summer months, but it lacks SPF and it is just too basic for its price… They could do better.


I am giving it 6/10.


BB crème – this product is truly amazing. I bought it already two times. This BB cream offers light coverage, a mattifying and slightly blurring effect, and also SPF. It is a perfect hybrid of skincare and makeup.


I use medium shade Nude

It provides enough hydration for my skin during summer but can be also beautifully combined with other products when I need something heavier. I can ˝upgrade˝ it with powder and it still looks quite natural, everything blends nicely.


It is quick and easy to use. I like the fact that it is available in travel sizes, so you don’t need to buy a big tube. I just wish that there are more shades (light/medium/dark). Probably you can mix them, but no one really wants to deal with that, right?

I will definitely buy this again because it is so easy to use and makes your skin just look great.


I am giving it 9/10


The last product I own is Pink perfect crème – this is basically a primer that provides a blurring effect, nourishes the skin, and gives you that much wanted naturally glowing effect.

I must say this is too heavy for my skin, it quickly made it oily and too shiny. It gives that blurring effect and makes your skin super soft, but I believe it is more suitable for dry or maybe normal skin types.


After discovering that is not for me I sometimes wear it when I’m staying at home, instead of my regular moisturizer, just to use it up.


It is not a bad product, just not for my skin type.


I am giving it 7/10

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
