SOS! New faves from Madara

madara sos

Madara is a finnish brand that offers eco certified organic products for hair, body and face. You can read more about Madara here.

I’m always scared of using products that are “for every skin type”. I have oily skin so I’m used to products that are meant just for that. This time I decided to try these products out anyway since I have heard that they really do suit many skin types. And you know what? I’m glad I did!

Madara SOS Hydra Repair Serum

This is perfect for my skin as a day cream even though it’s meant to be used under a cream. But as you may know oily skin doesn’t need much moisture. This thin serum absorbs quickly and is enough for my skin. It also works great under makeup.  I’ve fell in love with this and now it’s all I want to use.

Madara SOS Hydra Recharge Cream

The cream is very moisturising and nourishing so it works for me as night cream. I would think that this actually works for many skin types since it’s not crazy thick but not a very light cream either.

Madara SCRUB Exfoliating Oil-To-Milk-Scrub

An exfoliant with small microbeads. First you apply it to your face dry and gently exfoliate your skin. Then you apply water and let it foam. Then you rinse. This is a very gentle even though it has micro beads in it.

I love all of these products’ packaging. They are beautiful and have a luxury feeling to them with their light pastel colouring. Good work from Madara! These cost a bit more than what I’ve used to spend but then again these are awesome products and they are eco certified.

I have some infection on my eye so I’ve not put makeup on them for a while. That doesn’t stop me from playing with other face makeup though. Now that my acne is worse I really enjoy putting an effor to my foundation. A full coverage foundation may look heavy and cakey but with blush, contour and highlight you can bring your face back to life. I’ve always loved sparkly and dewy cheeks and cheekbones so that’s what I did today. I chose warm, summery colours for my face. I applied peachy blush and paired it with warm girly light pink lips.

There is one problem with sparkly products though – they tend to make your impurities or texture on the skin show more. So actually for acne-prone skin a matte shade would be best. But I don’t really mind this and let myself sparkle all the way to the Africa if I want to.

I rarely show my makeup with glasses on but today I made an exception since I wasn’t wearing any makeup on them. They really help to bring the look together and bring some definition to my eyes!
