Tested for you: “Serum Mascara” and “Eye Make-up Remover” from Typology

Written by Margit Rüdiger on . No Comments on Tested for you: “Serum Mascara” and “Eye Make-up Remover” from Typology

A study by the University of Bristol recently proved that, contrary to all prejudices, men spend a lot of time studying the eyes of their female counterparts. Women, on the other hand, tend to look at men’s noses. That honestly surprised me. All the more worthwhile to grow long, silky eyelashes, which make the eyes eye-catching with a dense wreath. Serum Mascara serum with pea peptides Practical I therefore find da new Serum Mascara. It offers mascara and serum in one. Enriched with 1% pea peptides, castor oil and vegetable keratin, it lengthens the lashes, nourishes and strengthens them in the long term. Pea peptides are a sequence of lysine-rich amino acids that are believed to have densifying properties. They stimulate the cells of the eyelashes and help keep them healthy. The ingredients in the Serum Mascara are 95% of natural origin. There are neither silicones nor mineral oil. The brush is made of a 100% bio-based polymer derived from castor oil. The mascara serum is a hybrid formula between care and make-up. The lashes are not only strengthened by the combination of active ingredients, but at the same time coated with color like a regular mascara. Lightweight application I apply the Serum Mascara every morning religiously. It feels light on the lashes and leaves a natural finish. After about four weeks, I can see an extension of the hairs, but no densification. Maybe that still comes. For make-up removal, Typology has simultaneously launched a two-phase eye make-up remover, which also contains 1% pea peptides and castor oil. Thanks to this concentration of active ingredients, it is also intended to strengthen and thicken the eyelashes. In addition, it is enriched with chamomile extract, which is known to soothe and decongest the eye area. Shake well I use the eye make-up remover. So that the two phases, the oily and the watery mix to a whitish emulsion, you have to shake it vigorously. Even waterproof products clean off well with it. What I also notice that the eyelashes are strengthened and fewer hairs fall out when removing makeup. Unfortunately, the oil phase always leaves a light film in the eye, which disappears only after some time. Serum Mascara and Eye Make-up Remover are offered by Typology as a duo for £ 35.20. This does not quite make sense to me, because it does not mean any savings. The Serum Mascara (9 ml) costs £18.80 and the make-up remover £16.40 if you buy it separately.… weiterlesen

Tested for you: „Super C Dark Circle Brightening Eye Serum” from StriVectin

Even the presentation of the dark circle brightener against Panda bear eyes is refreshingly out of the ordinary compared to the usual white or pastel tubes in which eye creams are usually packaged. The gel serum against dark shadows is in a pink, handy pen-shaped dispenser. It promises to lighten all types of stubborn dark circles. Differences in dark circles under the eyes To do this, you need to know: Not all dark circles are the same. Dark circles under the eyes are one of the most difficult beauty problems to treat. However, they are also the most common. But how do the dark shadows under the eyes actually form? They depend on aging and lifestyle, such as stress and exhaustion, but they can also be genetic. There are several shades of color. Eye circles can look blue-purple, but they can also have a brown tint. Both forms can be counteracted with vitamin C, which not only visibly lightens the skin, but also tightens it. An enlightening idea I use the refreshing gel serum now seht more than two months. You can’t expect quick results with any product, no matter how good and promising it is. In the morning and evening, I apply a pump on the area under the eyes – more is not needed, because the texture is very productive. The gel is not only easy to spread, but leaves a pleasant feeling of freshness on the skin, especially now in summer. Always spread from the inner corner of the eye outwards and do not tug at the skin! I am very satisfied with the result. The dark shadows under the eyes are lightened, so I also need much less concealer than before. I also find that the skin has become firmer especially at the corners of the eyes and the fine lines less. Overall, the look looks more awake when I look in the mirror in the morning. What’s inside? In addition to the stabilized form of vitamin C (aminopropyl ascorbyl phosphate), the gel serum contains various active plant substances. Among them guava leaf extract from the Jeju Islands in South Corea. It is combined with antioxidant-containing ferments to make vitamin C even more effective. In addition, a mixture of Arabian jasmine, hawthorn flowers and purifying flavonoids strengthens thin, delicate skin of the lower eye region and visibly brightens it.
