I've previously reviewed the Bronzing Powder and the 3in1 Concealer Kit and now we have the primer left so we can make the final round-up of the latest collection from this amazing drugstore make-up brand. Revelique Cosmetics Make-Up Gel Base (approx $9,50) is a fabulous offering from the drugstore aisle compared to many high-end face primers we see are getting all the attention. I think I'll place this primer side-to-side with the L'Oreal Revitalift Magic Blur which I have reviewed a while ago. These two are very similar in effect yet quite different in texture and they have slightly different price points. Revelique base is packaged in a soft plastic tube of 27ml. A bit odd quantity instead of the usual 30ml but that's not a dealbreaker for me. Packaging is black, simple and in comparison with the L'Oreal primer – it's travel friendly. Sure, the red pot from L'Oreal looks quite fancy and reminiscent of the famous primer from Clarins but it's rather bulky and that always has its (dis)advantages. Revelique primer is a gel and that means there is no chalky-like texture, no flaking if you apply two or more layers underneath make-up or if you wear it alone. In that aspect, I think it's quite an effortless product that does the job without any hassle.
Prethodno sam recenzirala bronzer i 3u1 paletu korektora a sada na repertoaru imamo prajmer za make-up kako bi mogli zaokruziti dojmove glede jesenje kolekcije ovog, meni jako dragog, drogerijskog brenda. Revelique Cosmetics baza za sminku u gelu (14,50KM) je fantastican prajmer koji dolazi kao adut drogerijskog ranga i kontrast high-end prajmerima koji obicno privlace najvise paznje. Mislim da cu vam ovu bazu/prajmer najbolje docarati kroz poredjenje sa L'Oreal Revitalift Magic Blur prajmerom koji sam nedavno recenzirala. Obje baze su slicne po pitanju efekta koji pruzaju no dosta su razlicite glede teksture ali i odnosa cijena (Revelique je grubo receno, duplo pristupacnije cijene). Revelique baza je upakovana u mekanu plasticnu tubu od 27ml. Mislim da je rijec o relativno neobicnoj kolicini proizvoda (u poredjenju sa standarnih 30ml) no nije nesto sto mi licno smeta. Pakovanje je crne boje i izuzetno jednostavno a u poredjenju sa L'Oreal bazom – pogodno za putovanja. Istina, L'Oreal baza dolazi u atraktivnom crvenom pakovanju koje nemalo asocira na popularnu Clarins bazu ali pomalo nezgrapnih dimenzija, vjerujem da u svakom slucaju takvo pakovanje ima prednosti ali i mane. Revelique baza je gel i samim time ne ostavlja “kredast” osjecaj na kozi i ne prave se grudvice ako nanesete dva ili vise slojeva ispod sminke (bilo da je nosite samostalno). U tom smislu, ja bih rekla da je ovo jedan divan i jednostavan proizvod koji je pogodan za koristenje i bez posebnog “znanja” o bazama/prajmerima a da dobijete jako dobre rezultate.
It's a mattifying type of base and it does perform well – perhaps not as mattifying as the L'Oreal counterpart but still very close indeed. These two primers are both silicone-based and regarding the texture, blendability, comfort of wear – I think that Revelique primer is more versatile. Because it is transparent/clear I even like to apply it midst-day when I feel I have a slight shine on my T-zone going on. Applied with clean fingers, of course – it takes away all the shine without make-up looking cakey (it really is light and non-sticky). Usually I apply it before make-up but that is a nifty trick that I discovered helps a lot. It doesn't have any discernable scent and it smoothes skin's surface beautifully. Filling all the pores, fine wrinkles and neutralizing shine along the way – it's quite a multitasker! I've used it with at least five foundations (YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat, Avon Solutions BB cream, LRP Rosaliac CC cream, Dior Diorskin Star foundation, Bourjois Healthy Mix etc.) and they all apply & blend better over it, last longer and keep the matte effect for an additional hour or so. It's free from fragrance, oil, mineral oil and preservatives. As a conclusion – Revelique Cosmetics Make-Up Gel Base is a fab budget offering that goes well with most foundations and keeps oil at bay, Bronzing Powder is one of the best bronzers I have ever come across and the 3in1 Concealing Kit is perhaps not for everyone but – those willing to mix'n'match different shades of concealer will be thrilled with it and the amazing results it provides.
Ovo je baza koja matira kozu i zaista je jako dobra u svom poslu – mozda nije jednako matirajuca poput L'Oreal baze ali vec cjepidlacim – radi se o nijansama. Obje baze su bazirane na silikonima i po pitanju teksture, razmazivanja i nanosenja te ugode nosenja – mislim da je Revelique baza laksa i jednostavnija za koristenje. Posto je prozirna/transparentna cak je volim koristiti i tokom dana preko make-upa (tacnije preko T-zone ako primjetim da pocinje dobijati sjaj). Naravno, nanesena je cistim prsticima a ujedno dok uklanja nezeljeni sjaj, ne uzmenirava sminku i osvjezava ten jer je jako lagana i nemasna. Obicno je koristim ispod sminke ali i ovo je zgodan trik koji mi je priskocio u pomoc vise puta. Ne posjeduje poseban miris i fantasticno zagladjuje povrsinu koze. Popunjavajuci pore, sitne borice i uklanjajuci sjaj – pravi je multitasker. Koristila sam je ispod barem pet razlicitih podloga (YSL Le Teint Touche Eclat, Avon Solutions BB krema, LRP Rosaliac CC krema, Dior Diorskin Star podloga, Bourjois Healthy Mix etc.) – sve i jedna se ljepse nanosila preko ove baze, trajnost im je poboljsana a i koza je duze vrijeme bila matirana (“kupljenih” sat-dva). Ne sadrzi parfeme, ulja, mineralna ulja niti konzervanse. Kao zakljucak Revelique Cosmetics baza za sminku u gelu ima dosta argumenata kojima ce vas osvojiti osim cijene, funkcionise sa vecinom podloga i kozu odrzava matiranom, bronzer je jedan od najboljih bronzera koje sam ikada isprobala dok je 3u1 paleta korektora specificna, mozda nije za svakoga ali tko ima strpljenja da kombinuje razlicite nijanse – trud ce se isplatiti putem izvrsnih rezultata. Revelique Cosmetics je dostupan u BiH (odabrane cm trgovine), Austriji i Bjelorusiji.
