KylieSkin Lip Oil Review
My very first Kylieskin product! Yay!
The KylieSkin Lip Oil looks like a gloss, applies like a gloss and, unlike many other Lip Oils and related lip products, doesn’t feel sticky at all. Personally, I think that’s a big plus, since I really don’t like big, glossy, sticky lips. The wind, blowing your hair against your sticky lips when going outside is so annoying!
This Lip Oil has a subtle and pleasant but slightly chemical coconut scent and comes in a small, beautifully designed glass tube. The applicator is soft, fluffy and big. On the downside, it’s actually a bit too big, taking up almost the entire inside space of the tube, not exactly giving you value for your money that way. Plus, it isn’t really convenient to get the applicator out of the tube. The applicator does feel pleasant and soft on the lips while applying the oil though. The large size of the applicator does make it easy to apply and spread the oil, but also comes with quite a bit of excess product, while you don’t really need that much.
I usually use this Lip Oil in the evening, before going to bed, to give the oil enough time to fully absorb and to optimally care for my lips, giving me the ability to start my day with soft, cared and hydrated lips in the morning, but since the oil also gives a nice shine, it sure can be used like a lip gloss during the daytime hours too. After applying this Lip Oil, my lips feel soft, hydrated and intensely nourished, without feeling sticky. I’m rocking a subtle shine and dry lips and flaky skin are a thing of the past. I personally didn’t experience the promised plumping effect, but I already have fairly full lips and I’m not exactly looking for that Kardashian pout right now!
I am satisfied with the KylieSkin Lip Oil, which is vegan and contains Vitamin E in addition to coconut oil, but I do believe that there are balms and oils that do the same job while being cheaper. That, in combination with the enormous applicator and the small amount of product inside the very small tube, gains this lip oil 4 stars for now. It’s definitely not bad, but not the very best either.

Giesswein Merinowool Socks Review
Hi guys,
Are you familiar with German brand Giesswein? Not only do they create the most beautiful collection of sustainable footwear, made out of natural materials like Merinowool, Cactus, Wood and recycled materials, they also have sustainable made accessories, pillows and blankets and they just released a line of comfy socks, also made out of Merinowool!
It’s been rather chilly out there lately, well, at least, here in The Netherlands it has. A few weeks ago, the sun was shining, spring was in the air and the temperatures were rising up to almost 20°C and bam, 1 day later, it was snowing! Really, I kid you not! I hardly can’t remember what I’ve ate yesterday but I do remember this because it was the 1st of april and I was thinking by myself: “this must be an aprils fool day joke!”
Anyway, as I was saying, it’s rather chilly out there nowadays and a pair of Merinowool socks are just what I need on days like these! They keep my feet warm and comfy, even when it’s snowing or raining!
Although the socks tend to feel a bit rough when putting them on, they also feel soft at the same time, it’s quite a particular feeling. And they’re really comfy too! Thermoregulation ensures your feet will be cool during summers and warm during winters. The socks come in a pack of 3 and are available in different sizes, models and colors.

Biotherm Blue Therapy Uplift Day Review
Hi guys,
As a Pafumado tester, I was sent a sample of the Biotherm Blue Therapy Uplift Day and I can’t wait to share my results with you!
The Blue Therapy Uplift Day Cream, containing ingredients like Red Algae and Collagen Peptide, promises to make fine lines and wrinkles less visible, while lifting and firming the skin.
This rose colored cream applies easily and smooth, thanks to the pleasant gel like texture and absorbs quickly, without leaving a greasy feeling.
During application, the cream feels not greasy at all and after application, my skin feels really soft, firm and hydrated. Any fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes area are looking slightly less visible and I’m rocking this healthy looking glow all day.
My skin wasn’t feeling irritated and I didn’t get any outbreaks after using it.
For a really optimal result you have to use this cream for longer, but even during my short testing period, I was pleasantly surprised by the result.
The cream smells pleasant and not too powdery. It is quite a subtle fragrance which is not too present or too heavy. Also, the scent fades away quite fast.
From what I’ve seen from the packaging online, the cream typically comes in a gorgeous and luxurious looking red colored glass jar but I obviously received the sample version, which is a small white tube with a red cap. But the full size packaging is looking really nice and will definitely earn it’s spot in your bathroom or on top of your vanity table.
I highly recommend the Biotherm Blue Therapy Uplift Day Cream!
A huge thanks to Biotherm and Parfumado! ❤️
Max Factor Miracle Prep Pore Minimizing + Mattifying Primer Review
Hi guys,
A while ago, reviewing platform We Are Eves has send me the Max Factor Miracle Prep Pore Minimizing + Mattifying Primer to test and review. My review has been on We Are Eves for quite some time now, but I haven’t shared it here yet, so here we go!
The Max Factor Miracle Prep Pore Minimizing + Mattifying Primer comes in a convenient plastic bottle and looks simple, yet beautiful. The pump bottle is easy to use, hygienic and has a convenient size, so you can take it with you in your make-up bag or handbag!
This very lightweighted primer has a thin, liquid and slightly milky texture which is easy to apply. It melts directly into the skin and does not leave a greasy feeling. After application, my skin feels soft and smooth. My face is looking healthy and I have this, nice matte look going on. My skin does not feel dry or tight at all and outbreaks or allergic reactions are not an issue either. So far, so good!
As I continue with my makeup, I notice that this primer is indeed the perfect base for applying makeup. My make up lasts longer and is looking bold and more beautiful. However, I did notice that greasier spots, like my T zone, are starting to shine again after a while, so doing a touch up every now and then is certainly not a luxury. My pores seems to be just a little less visible. Even without make up, this primer is a great base, as it contains SPF20 and gives your face that nice matte finish we all crave.
This primer is scented really neutral, the scent, doesn’t irritate and disappears quickly.
I am actually very satisfied with this primer and I absolutely recommend it, especially for people with oily or combination skin and even for people with sensitive skin, like myself!

Picky x Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule review
Hi guys,
When Picky offered me the chance to test the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule, I didn’t hesitate for a moment! I didn’t know this Korean skincare brand or the product at all and I love testing new products so I was like “yes! Count me in!”
The first thing I noticed is the packaging. This product is neatly packed in a transparent glass bottle of 100 ml. That’s a huge amount of serum and is rarely seen, especially for a skincare product! There’s some kind of coating over the box, which feels nice. The combination of gray and white tones gives the box an elegant and clean, almost sterile look. The quite heavy glass bottle oozes luxury and is environment friendly, which obviously beats plastic packaging every time!
Thanks to the included dropper, this serum is also very easy to apply. Just put a few drops on your hands, massage them into the skin and you’re done! Easy does it!
The texture of this serum really is fantastic! It has a very light, watery and non-sticky texture that melts into the skin, without feeling greasy or tight. The serum contains small white capsules that, just like the serum itself, absorbs into the skin rather quickly. There’s no notable scent. I really like that, since many skincare products are enriched with perfumes that irritate the skin or have a scent that just is way too heavy and strong.
The Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule contains Centella from Madagascar and 4% Niacinamide, or Vitamin B3, which helps against redness, pimples, pigmentation spots, fine lines and more and can be used by all skin types and for almost all skin conditions.
After using the serum, my sensitive skin feels soft, smooth and firm and after a few weeks, my fine lines and the pigmentation spot I discovered some time ago are clearly less visible. My skin looks radiant and firm.
The Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule is cruelty-free and contains no parabens or sulfates.
I’m a fan!

First impression of the TravelSana Relax and Focus gummies
Hi guys,
A while back, I saw this ad on Facebook to order a free pack of TravelSana’s Relax and Ficus Gummies and since I’m all about trying new things and sharing my thoughts and experiences with you guys, I went on and ordered myself a pack of these delicious looking gummies.
TravelSana is a food nutrition brand, founded in 2019 and launched in 2021, dedicated to bringing health, comfort and wellbeing to travellers, to make travelling safer, easier and more enjoyable. Their products are scientifically proven to be efficient and claim to contain the highest quality active ingredients available, such as multiple vitamins, Selenium, Zink, Melatonin, Saffron and more.
Relax and Focus is a supplement recommended when you need to be mentally fit, focused and concentrated, like when you’re facing a high workload. It contains Saffron, which is shown to be effective in treating mild to moderate depression symptoms as a result of an interaction with the serotonin and noradrenaline system. It also contains Chicory Root Fibers, Water, Tapioca Starch and Citric Acid. For travellers, it’s recommended to take 2 gummies before departure, to help you to stay calm and to relax while flying, while still being focused and awake.
Unfortunately, I won’t be travelling by plane for another few months. My boyfriend and I are currently looking at multiple countries and cities to travel to but we haven’t made any decisions yet. (Tips and suggestion on where to travel to and what to see or do are most definitely very welcome! ) Most likely, we will be travelling in september, and I will make sure to give you an update on how I experienced the Relax and Focus gummies and it’s effect on me as soon as I get off that airplane or when I’ve taken them to keep focused at work, so keep following me for more!
Question:
What kind of supplements do you take regularly?
A huge thanks to TravelSana!

Nutraskin Collagen Drink review
Hi guys,
Another year has passed! And a new year has started, yet again! This is the last year I willl be celebrating my thirties because next year, I will be a women in her forties! Can you imagine? Anyway, that made me wonder, what’s your age? I know, I can check my statistics, but that’s quite general. It’s more fun to be able to add an age to your face!
Talking about age, my fine lines and wrinkles are getting more visible every day, so it’s about time to put a hold to that! In addition to my new anti-aging skincare routine (more on that later!), I also started to take the Nutraskin Collagen Drink, to help my skin to maintain a more youthful look.
Collagen is a substance produced by the body itself, found in our hair, nails, muscles and skin. When we get older, the collagen production decreases, resulting in less elasticity, causing wrinkles and lines. Taking collagen supplements doesn’t just improves the skin, it also improves the condition of hair and nails and can help you to minimize the visibility of cellulitis.
NutraSkin contains 7,5 gr Verisol and Vitamin C and the collagen powder arrives in easy to use individually packed sachets. One sachet a day, dissolved in a glass of water, tea or juice, is all you need to maintain a youthful and healthy, plump looking skin. The powder doesn’t have any scent or taste and it’s easy to use and drink. You just have to make sure to use room temperatured drinks because in cold drinks, the powder doesn’t dissolve that easily. When using room temperatured liquids, the powder does dissolve quickly and completely.
After using NutraSkin for a few weeks now, I don’t really notice much changes in the lines and wrinkles departement, but I do notice that my skin is feeling more plump and firm and looks healthy. My skin feels really soft and hydrated too. Any changes in lines and wrinkles should be visible after a month or two. The only downside is the fact that NutraSkin isn’t vegan friendly, since the collagen powder is derived from bovines. But other than that, I’m really satisfied and definitely will keep taking my daily sachet! ❤

Azra Botanical Simplicity No Rinse Hand Cleanser Review
Hi guys,
During my quarantine, this No Rinse Hand Cleanser from Azra Botanical Simplicity was my best friend!
I was quarantained in my bedroom, to make sure my family didn’t catch Covid and I obviously spent most of my time up there alone. When I came downstairs for dinner, I always used this handsanitizer before touching anything. I was the only one that got sick, none of my family members did, so I guess we can say the Azra Hand Cleanser really did a good job!
The brand Azra Botanical Simplicity was created by Azra Secerbegovic, the owner of Beauty and Skincare Salon Aspa Den Haag, a beauty and skincare clinic in the city of The Hague, The Netherlands. Her mission was to offer a natural skincare routine which is both effective as simple, by combining high tech ingredients with natural ones. The Azra Botanical Simplicity skincare range contains only a few ingredients, to make sure they don’t cause irritations and can be used on any skintype, even the most sensitive ones. Obviously,I did receive some skincare products, but since catching Covid, I wanted to take a moment to tell you some more about their No Rinse Hand Cleanser too. I will get deeper into the skincare range very soon!
Some handsanitizers cause irritations to our hands. others are so greasy and sticky it feels uncomfortable. While the Azra No Rinse Hand Cleanser feels a bit sticky after applying, it doesn’t feel uncomfortable at all. The sticky feeling dissolves rather quickly, leaving your hands feeling clean and soft. It has a nice scent too, fresh and minty. I also experience a hint of some sort of clinical scent in there, caused by the alcohol it contains. While alcohol often causes the skin to feel dry, my hands aren’t feeling dry at all, because this hand cleanser contains glycerin, which ensures the hands not to dry out. It also contains Water Lily Extract, Peppermint Essential Oil, known for it’s aromatherapy properties, and Comfrey Extract, a medicinal herb that helps to protect and condition the skin.
A full list of ingredients is published on the back of the bottle.
The bottle is easy to use, thanks to the pumping system on top, and the slim design makes it easy to carry the bottle with you. My quarantine is over now, but I always carry my bottle of No Rinse Hand Cleanser in my bag, just to make sure I can clean and sanitize my hands at any moment!
With every purchase of Azra Botanical Simplicity No Rinse Hand Cleanser, Aspa Den Haag donates to the Emina Foundation.

Philosophy Nature In A Jar Skin Reset Serum Review
Hi guys,
Ici Paris XL kindly sent me a vial of Philosophy Nature In A Jar Skin Reset Serum to try and review as part of their Beauty & You Community.
This serum consists of 95.9% natural ingredients, is clean, vegan and contains Bakuchiol, a natural alternative to Retinol.
As we all know, Retinol is an antioxidant & a form of vitamin A that aids in cell and skin renewal. I’ve done some research on the difference between Bakuchiol and Retinol as Bakuchiol is said to be a natural alternative to Retinol but I honestly don’t see much of a difference as Retinol can be found in certain kinds of vegetables. However, for some people, Retinol is just too harsh For people with sensitive skin or known allergic reactions to Retinol, Bakuchiol is indeed a better alternative.
Anyway, back to the Nature In A Jar Serum!
After using this serum for a while now, my skin feels soft, smooth and firm. Fine lines and wrinkles are less visible and so is the redness on my face.
It’s a lightweight serum which is easy to apply. The application itself is a bit more difficult, since the pipette in the cap is not a pipette but a glass rod, making it quite difficult to get enough product out of the bottle. It also feels a bit greasy, which I personally don’t like. The serum has a very light and neutral scent. In fact, it hardly has any scent. I personally think that’s an advantage, because I don’t really like heavily scented skincare products.
The bottle itself has a young & fresh look, thanks to the bright blue colour.
For now I give this serum 4 stars, because of the greasy feeling and the pipette which actually isn’t a pipette at all. If this changes, this serum is definitely worth 5 stars!
Question:
Do you prefer Retinol or Bakuchiol?
A huge thanks to Ici Paris XL and Philosophy! ❤
Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate Serum Review
Hi guys,
When Freeviews.nl offered to send me the Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate Serum to test it, I was really happy because I was dying to try this one! It contains 8 botanical ingredients and promises a healthy, young looking skin.
Shiseido is such a high quality brand, with many famous fans & a huge cult status, so I expected a lot from this serum. And you know what? I immediately added the serum to my daily routine because it’s pure luxury! Really, it a miracle worker!
I’ve been using it for a month now, but right from the very first use, my skin felt soft and tight. After 4 weeks of daily use, my skin looks radiant & healthy. Red spots on my cheeks are visibly reduced & my skin is firm and fresh looking. Fine lines are less visible & my skin feels soft, hydrated & smooth.
The serum is economical to use thanks to the handy pump system on top of the luxurious-looking glass bottle. You only need 1 to 2 pumps to cover your entire face. Since the pumping system just releases 1 pump at the time, you will never use too much serum either.
The light & milky texture makes the serum easy to apply. It absorbs quickly into the skin, without feeling greasy, tight or itchy. With my combined and sensitive skin, I haven’t experienced any irritations or outbreaks. The Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate Serum also has a fresh & very pleasant scent that contributes to the luxurious look of the product.
The Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate Serum is high-quality, pure luxury and, despite the high price, highly recommended, even for people with very sensitive skin, like myself!
Question:
If you could use just 1 skincare product for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
A huge thanks to Freeviews and Shiseido! ❤
