Tested for you: Tinted Primer “VB x Augustinus Bader Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer in Golden“

Two professionals have come together for the tinted primer. One is Victoria Beckham, a style icon when it comes to looks. The other, Professor Augustinus Bader, a world-renowned biomedical scientist and one of the leading experts in the field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. He has provided the substantive know-how with his power ingredient TCF8, on which his own Augustinus Bader skincare line is also based. Primer for a sunkissed look The result of the collaboration between the two is a moisturizing primer that improves the appearance of pores and small imperfections in the skin while also providing an instant bronze glow. The product is always sold out on Victoria Beckham’s online portal. That’s why I was lucky enough to be able to get hold of at least a 15 ml vial for testing. Because the 30 ml and 50 ml versions were already sold out again. “In collaboration with Victoria Beckham and her team, we have developed this amazing new serum that applies the physiology of healthy skin and protects the skin’s barrier function. All the know-how is based on the science of what our skin cells really need to function optimally.” Prof. Augustinus Bader The gold-colored primer is actually a little miracle cure. At first I was worried that it might make my complexion too shiny, which I don’t like at all. Not at all. Just a few drops of the golden texture make it smooth and radiant. The pores appear smaller, wrinkles and lines minimized. As the saying goes – and by now somewhat overused – the skin gets the coveted sunkissed glow. Multitasker for You can apply the primer to bare skin for a natural glow or under make-up as a warm, illuminating primer. It can also be mixed with foundation and body cream for an all-over glow from head to toe. „For an extra luminous glow, use an additional pump of Golden Priming Moisturizer over make up on the high points of the face including the cheekbones, along the nose, and above the Cupid’s bow.“ Victoria Beckham Prof. Bader’s primer formula is based on his TFC8 technology and a blend of highly effective, sustainably sourced botanicals and vitamins for long-lasting skin radiance. All Bader products contain clean, biotechnologically produced active ingredients to reduce the environmental impact as much as possible. They do not contain any harmful ingredients. The skin care is 100 percent free of parabens, fragrances, SLS, SLES, DEA, heavy metals, talc and petrolatum/paraffin/mineral oil.… weiterlesen

Tested for you: Primer „Le Privilège Base Traitante“ from Rivoli

Written by Margit Rüdiger on . No Comments on Tested for you: Primer „Le Privilège Base Traitante“ from Rivoli

I usually don’t use foundation because I don’t like the feeling that something is “on” my skin, and that’s why I don’t need a primer. At least that’s what I thought so far. But the “Base Traitante” is a 2-in-1 product – tinting and skin care in one. A polyphenolic molecule activates the natural defense mechanisms to protect against UV radiation. As a hyaluronic acid precursor, it promotes the production of hyaluronic acid molecules that are naturally present in our skin. So I start my test. Is the primer too light or too dark? After cleaning and day care, I apply the primer for the first time in the morning. The tinted texture looks quite dark in the elegant and heavy cylindrical glass bottle. Too dark for me? But when I pump it on my fingertips, my impression changes into the opposite. The primer might be too light for my more Mediterranean skin. Nevertheless, I distribute it evenly on the face. The light, creamy fluid is easy to spread. The amount withdrawn is sufficient. The Rivoli product is quite economical. Already an advantage considering the price. Also applied on my face and well distributed, the result appears to me quite light, as if the layer would remain on top of the skin without merging with it. I’m waiting. But after a short time the primer is absorbed and has adapted perfectly to my natural skin tone. Amazing! There is also no such thing as a heavy make-up feeling. To check the optical result better, I stand by the window with the morning sun with a magnifying mirror in my hand to see what the tint looks like in daylight. Natural and radiant For me this is a particularly important aspect, because that is the face that I want to present to my environment. The skin should look bare and shine. Even if I don’t use a foundation, I still want to flaunt a refined and even complexion. And that is exactly what the primer does. It smooths and immediately gives the complexion a fresher radiance. The skin looks hydrated and comfortably plumped. Bien fait! With regular use, “Le Privilège Base Traitante” should even remove redness and minimize pores. „Le Privilège Base Traitante“ from Rivoli, 50 ml, 205 Euro… weiterlesen
