ASOS: my brand new products [anatomicals; Barry M; REVIEW]


Hello everybody!

Today something came into my PO box: an asos little package! Yay! - I dunno why, but I'm always excited when buying online and then receiving the package at home! So I feel great now! - and so I decided to write a post! 

Here are the two things I'm gonna show you in this post:


The Anatomicals zap! zap! spot stick and the Flawless Matte Finish foundation from Barry M.; both londonish, both great! :) 

The first thing I'm gonna show you is the spot stick from Anatomicals, which is a very great brand with captivating names for products!! I simply love it and all their stuff are great! 

It came with a cute package; I love their packagings: so simple, but so artisty! 
And - just saying - the top of the box has this quote: we only want you for your body! Great words! We are beautiful as we are and we simply have to take care of our body! :)


It has two parts: day sierum and night sierum, both of 3.5 ml. The applicator is like the one of lipgloss and some liquid concealer and I find it very very easy and great to apply directly on the spots! 


The day part is lighter than the night part, and I think that's probably cause of the fact that the night sierum is more strong. 


I LOOOVE it and can't wait to buy more and more! I'm so surprised cause you can see changes since the first apply! So so so good and refreshing! I love to apply it! In the end, if you are a spotty person o you just don't like to wait for the spots to go away, then buy it and just completely kill them in like tree days! YAY! 

For the girls interested in the inci, here is the ingredients list:

Day Ingredients: 

Aqua, alcohol, 1,3-butylene glycol, witch hazel, polysorbate-20, tea tree, hydroxyethyl cellucose, methylisothiazolinone, methylparaben, propylparaben, fruit green, yellow 5. 

Night Ingredients:

Aqua, alcohol, witch hazel, cyclomethicone, isohexadacane, glycerin, 1,3-butylene glycol, steareth-2, steareth-21, cetyl stearate, allantoin, isohexadecane, sodium acrylate, sodium acryloydimethyl taurate copolymer, tea tree, phenoxyethanol, methylparaben, propylparaben, benzophenone-3.


The second produt I'm gonna show you is this foundation from Barry M. 





I just love the packaging that reminds me a lot of the Benefit packaging (they also have a "flawless" product line eheh) and it has 30g product. 
I bought the Ivory shade, which is the number 1 of the shades and it work really really good on my pale skin! 








As you can see from the name, the finish is matt and has a very light texture which I like very much cause it doesn't seem to wear a foundation and it's pretty confortable! It ha a hydrating formula, oil free, super blendable and the coverage is light/medium.. But I think is more light than medium coverage.. I mean if you have so many spots or dark circles, you surely have to go on with some concealer! I tested it for few hours and it surely need some compact/loose fixing powder cause it doesn't last very long. In the end I like it! I don't know if I'll buy it again, but I think is a perfect foundation for these spring/summer days when you don't want to wear a lot of make up cause you know you're going to sweat, but you just need to uniform your skin! :)

For the inci people around the world, here's the ingredients list! (Let me know in the comments how these inci are, cause I'm just not an inci person but I'd love to know how these two products are in that way! Thanks)
