Volume on budget… Product Battle/Review - L'Oreal False Lash Sculpt Mascara & Revlon Ultra Volume Mascara!

I find it really hard to keep to just one mascara and buy that one over and over again.

I do have a few, that I have repurchased (which I should probably do a post about), but with all the options and continuously new launches, I just get to tempted.

As I did with these two.

Even though neither L'Oreal nor Revlon do my all time favourite mascaras, I do have had quite good luck with these brands before.

Moisture Search Part III … New Moisturiser Search - Korres Almond Blossom Intense Moisturising & Nourishing Cream & Nuxe Rêve de miel Ultra Comforting Face Cream!

So the search continued for the perfect moisturiser, because even though I did find some okay ones in my last bunch, none of them was "the one".

So I moved on and had very high hopes, that I would finally find the one!

Keep reading for the results of this third part of my search.

Water for the dry… Product Battle - Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water vs. Nivea Gentle Caring Micellar Water (Dry Skin Versions)!

Every highstreet skincare brand with respect for themselves have launched a micellar water - but recently two of them also added a version for dry skin.

As a micellar water fan and dry skinned girl, I couldn't resist giving both a go.

I have used the original Garnier one for while and liked it (didn't love), but I have been wanting to try the Nivea ever since it came out, it was just never on offer, when I was running low.

New in Lashes… Product Battles - New Mascaras, I got in the US!

Of cause I couldn't go all the way to the US and not come back with any mascaras.

I have actually been good and only having 1-2 mascaras going at the same time - leaving my mascara hoarding days behind.

But this seemed impossible with all the selection in the US - and I just couldn't wait and only try out one at a time.

So I have been testing out the Too Faced Better Than Sex, Tarte Lights Camera Flashes and Physicians Formula Organic Wear.

Goodbye Darkness… Productbattle - It Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye and Maybelline Eraser Dark Circle Brightener!

I don't normally have the a huge issue with dark circles, however jet lag and lack of sleep, when we arrived to the U.S. really changed that.

However it was kind of perfect as it gave me the perfect opportunity to try and truly test these two products claiming to be a wonder for dark circles.

Brow Game… Product Battle - L'Oreal Brow Artist Plumper vs. Maybelline Brow Drama!

When I discovered the power of brow filling, my make up life changed!

I like keeping my brow somewhat in it natural wild state, but still groomed and tamed.

For that I need some good brow products - I have been in love with the Maybelline Brow Drama since first use, but was very intrigued when L'Oreal launched their version, mostly because of smaller wand.

So now I have given both a good try, so I'm ready to let you know, what I think.

Nothing Compares… Product Battle - Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Radiant Highlighting Pen vs. L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Concealer!

My mom never really managed to teach me economic responsibility, cooking or in general good housekeeping (not that she didn't try) - however she did very much succeeded in teaching me the value of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat!

I can't remember, when I got my first one, but as far back as I remember, it has always been a part of my routine. Even when this mainly consisted of a bit of powder and mascara - this was of course long before I got beauty obsessed.

Brow Compare… Product Battle - Soap & Glory Brow Archery Tint & Pencil vs. Pencil & Brush!

The past year Soap & Glory Brow Archery Tint & Pencil has been my go-to brow product, and I didn't really think about trying anything else.

But when I saw, that they came out with a new version, which very much resembled the very hyped Anastasia Brow Wiz, I put it on my London shopping list.

 And of course I had to do a comparison between the two.

Skin Hydrators… Product Battle - Caudalie Vinosourse Serum vs. Antipodes H2O Intensive Serum!

The Caudalie SOS Thirst Quenching Serum has been a staple in my skincare routine for quite a while.

But a few months ago, as I was running low, I decided it was time to try something new, however still something, that did the same.

I have a really love/hate relationship to Antipodes, some of their products I adore and some of them, not so much!

But I really liked the sound of this one, so I wanted to give it a try.

They pretty much claim to do the same - give you skin a good injection of hydration, so I thought a product battle was needed!

We all do it!… Product Battle - L'Oreal Color Riche Eye Colour Pencil vs. Sephora Jumbo Liner 12 HR Wear!

Yes, we all do it - get lured by the same type of products, colours, brands etc. over and over again.

This means, that we often end up with things very similar to each other - hell I have even bought the same lipstick twice without realising it!

I really try to be good about this, and I do actually have a few tips, such as having a wish list on my phone, and always giving it an extra thought, if it is not on that list, to avoid the above scenario to often.

However it did happen recently, when I came home with the new L'Oreal Color Riche Pencil and decided to do a bit of clean up in my eye liners and realised, that I already had a very similar colour from Sephora.

But hey, this gave me the opportunity to do product comparison, so it wasn't all bad - right? :-)

Oil Off… Product Battle - Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate vs. Clarins Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil!

It probably comes as no surprise for the returning reading, that I love oils - Oils in my hair, oils on body and oils on my face.

However I have to admit, that when it comes to the face, oils are probably best suited for the night.

Also with face oils, as with all other skincare, it is important to find the one perfect for your skin type.

These two are über hyped, so I thought, I would let you know my thoughts about them and which one I prefer.

The Tangle Three… Product Battle - Three Budget Friendly Leave-in conditioner!

A while back a made a very raving review about a Pantene Leave-in conditioner.

In Denmark this is pretty much the only budget one available.

But here in the UK, there is quite a few to choose from.

So I decided to but some of them to the test.

Colour Crayons... Product Battle - Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain vs. Bourjois Color Boost!

Almost every make up brand has one of them - a crayon lip product.

Recently Bourjois also added one to their line, and I thought, it would be interesting to compare it to one of first ones - Revlons Just Bitten.

Tangles be gone... Product battle - Tangle Teezer vs. Michel Mercier Detangling Brush!

Recently I felt is was time to get a new hair brush.

I have been loving my Tangle Teezer and was actually planing to get a new one of those.

But I had heard many good things about the Michel Mercier one, and the fact that it had a handle really intrigued me.

So I decided to get one of those instead, and I though that it would be the perfect opportunity to compare the two.

Stop Chipping... Product battle - Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat vs. Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat!

I have been using the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri for years, and have always been very satisfied with the result.

But after my good experience with the OPI Nail Envy as a base coat, I really wanted to see, if the Seche Vite also lived up to the hype.

War of the palettes... Product Battle - Urban Decay Naked Palette vs. Stila in the Light Palette!

A good neutral palette has become a stable in any make up collection!

A trio or quad is no longer sufficient - No, we need palettes with lots of options both matte and metallic.

One the first things I invested in, when I got very interested in make up 1 1/2 year ago, was the Urban Decay Naked Palette, which at that time was the make up item to get!

And I have never regretted it!

Then Stila came with their palettes this year, and the "In the Light" palette quickly became a favourite in the beauty community - So of course I had to have it!

So now I have both, and I was thinking, that it might be helpful to let you know, what I think about the them - and of course which one is my favourite.

Face to face... Product Battle - Bourjois Healthy Mix vs. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum!

I first tried the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation last year, and took a liking to it right away.

Then when I was in London, I saw the Healthy Mix Serum, which is a favourite for many in the beauty community.

I also got a new Healthy Mix Foundation, so now I have both.
So I thought, that it would a be a good opportunity to compare them.

I do think, that brands have a tendency to re-brand products with new names and new packing just for the advertising and new interest!

And as everybody else, I'm very easily fooled.

So lets see, if this is the case with these products.

Lip Fight... Product battle - Revlon Lip Butters vs. L'Oréal Paris Rouge Caresse Lipstick

My friend brought me some Revlon Lip butters from USA a while ago, as we don't have Revlon in Denmark.

I really like them, but was very tempted to try the L'Oréal Caresse lipstick, which was said to be their version of the lip butters.

However they are not yet available in Denmark.

So on my trip to London, I picked up two of the Caresse Lipsticks.

And I thought, why not compare the two?

Water vs. Oil.... Product battle - M.A.C Cleanse of oil vs. This Work Clean Skin 5 in 1 Water.

There seems to be two groups in the online beauty community, when it comes to make up removers.

Those how love the oil and those how love the water.

So I through, why not compare the two and let you know, what I think

The Oil           VS.         The Water

I have very sensitive eyes (as well as skin), so I have used oils to remove my eye make up for many years. First baby oil and later almond oil or Jojoba oil.

Is new always better?... Product battle - Too Faced Primed & Poreless Original vs. Too Faced Primed & Poreless Pure.

I don't have super oily skin, but still I have quite big problems with getting my face make up to last more than an hour.

Also I have quite big pores.

You might have seen my two reviews for primers, that I didn't really like (see them here and here)!

So I thought why not tell you about a primer, that I do like.

I have used the original version of Too Faced Primed and Poreless, and even though, I don't fell, that it solves my problems completely, I feel, that it did make a difference.

So when I saw, that they had came out with an oil free version for sensitive skin, The Primed and Poreless Pure, I had to try it.

So this is actually my comparison of the two.
