New in #107: Catrice New Products for Spring 2021

One Step Skin Perfector Catrice says this is a 4-in-1 product: a primer, skin care, sunscreen with SPF 20 and a tinted moisturizer. It contains ginseng, vitamin C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate low on the list) and it's vegan.

I've had a few such products and they are all the same. For every one the companies say they contain pigments that adapt to every skin tone, which is not very likely. This is the same product as for example Balea Teint Perfection Magic Teint Crème, so a pale grey cream that contains mini beads with a tint in a medium depth and just like at Balea you really need to blend it for a quite a while to get the beads to burst and release colour. Pigmentation is very sheer, so it will "adapt" to all skin tones darker than light-medium or better said it won't be too dark too show, but on mine it's noticeably too dark. If I blended it well all over the neck and ears, it would work as a fake tan because the tone ends up natural and not orange, however, just like at Balea I have problems with applying this evenly, so it looks darker on some areas and poorly blended. I blend it with fingers first and then go over with a big oval brush to get it looking more even because otherwise it always looks odd, especially on the edges. It also has to be blended with fingers first or the tint doesn't show because the beads don't burst, so this is not a quick product to apply. It has zero coverage, everything on my skin still shows, actually the tint accentuates my circles, but on a deeper skin tone you can expect a slightly more even skin tone - this stuff will really work much better on skins that aren't much lighter than the tint. Finish is natural-glowy, as a primer it makes my matte foundation on top glowy, at least for a while (I have dry skin, most stuff becomes matte in time). As a sunscreen obviously don't expect an actual SPF 20 because you can apply only thin coat. This is actually impossible to apply in a large amount because it just doesn't want to blend in then. If you like Balea Magic Cream or Garnier's Miracle Cream, you'll like this too, but it's not for me. Kind of pointless to show you this, since there is zero coverage. True Skin Mineral Loose Powder 010 Transparent Matt This contains hyaluronic acid and 52% mineral ingredients, it's also vegan. ALUMINUM STARCH OCTENYLSUCCINATE, SILICA, MICA, SYNTHETIC FLUORPHLOGOPITE, AQUA (WATER), TALC, SODIUM HYALURONATE, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE POWDER, CI 77491 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77492 (IRON OXIDES), CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES). I've tried the foundation from this line and I really am not a fan. But this powder is ok. It's nothing special meaning that it doesn't do any blurring, hiding lines or adding a soft focus effect, but it has a nice very fine, silky texture and it mattifies as well as sets the makeup in place. It doesn't look too powdery obvious on the skin and it takes some layering for it to look too much, so you don't have to be that careful at application. There's just one shade, transparent, which fits my skin, but I don't know if it may end up ashy on darker ones. This comes in a great packaging with a swivel system that keeps the powder tightly shut. Lift Up Volume & Lift Mascara 010 Deep Black This promises a lifting effect with special lifting polymers. It's said to be smudge-proof and it contains rice protein (end of the list) and panthenol. A waterproof version exists too. AQUA (WATER), GLYCERYL STEARATE, SYNTHETIC BEESWAX, COPERNICIA CERIFERA (CARNAUBA) WAX, RICINUS COMMUNIS (CASTOR) SEED OIL, SYNTHETIC WAX, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, POLYVINYL ALCOHOL, STEARIC ACID, PALMITIC ACID, AMINOMETHYL PROPANOL, HYDROGENATED COCONUT OIL, PANTHENOL, LEUCONOSTOC/RADISH ROOT FERMENT FILTRATE, GARDENIA TAITENSIS FLOWER, TOCOPHEROL, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, PULLULAN, CELLULOSE, HYDROLYZED RICE PROTEIN, LECITHIN, SILICA, ASCORBYL PALMITATE, CITRIC ACID, PHENOXYETHANOL, SODIUM DEHYDROACETATE, CI 77499 (IRON OXIDES). This mascara reminds me a lot of Essence I
