Hello!
Welcome to Beautiful with Brains. My name is Giorgia and I’ve created this blogs for all the beauty junkies like me.
Here you will find make up and skincare news, tips and tricks, product reviews, upcoming sales/promotions, tutorials and more! I am particularly interested in ingredients. Knowing the substances contained in a product can be helpful if you have allergies and to understand if a product is effective or if it is instead drying, comedogenic or irritating.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you come back soon.
Love,
Giorgia

Hi Gio! How are you? I was wondering how much the Art Deco eyeshadow base is (and if there is one near you) I would like to try it out but unfortunately we do not have it here in the US!
Hi Vanessa, I’ve just emailed you

Hi
I just had a dermalogica “age smart” facial with a multivitamin power masque and am now – 3 hours later, still applying cool compresses to the red swollen patches under my eyes and on the side on my face!
I was told “oh it’s just a reaction. it”ll go away” by the salon. But when?
And this happens after I tell them I have sensitive skin!
What’s in that product??
Hi Kym,
I’m really sorry you had such a bad reaction. The people at the salon should have ben mor careful, esp considered you told them you had sensitive skin. These are the ingredients in the dermalogica age smart multivitamin power recovering masque:
Matricaria(chamomilla Recutita) Extract, Glyycerin, Sodium Polyacrylate, Butyelene Glycol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Deproplene Gylcol Dibenzoate, Ppg-15, Stearyl Ether Benzoat, Algae Extract,betalucan, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Glyucereth-7 Triacetate, Di-c12-15 Alkyl Furnarate, Panthenol, Tocopherylacetate, Babassu(orbignya Oleifera) Oil, Avacado9persea Gratissima0 Oil Unsaponifiables, Stearyl Alchol, Phospholipids, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Linoleic Acid, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Beta-carotene, Lactic Acid, Dimethicone, Grape(vitis Vinifera) Seed Extract, Lemon(citrus Medica Limonium) Peel Extract, Licorice(glycyrrhiza Glabra) Extract, Comfrey(symphytum Offcinale) Extract, Burdock(arctium Majus) Seed Extract, Chamomile(anthemis Nobilis) Oil, Propylene Glycol, Soduim Pca, Allantoin, Menthoxypropanediol, Dea-cetyl Phosphate, Sorbitan Stearate, Carbomer, Sclerotium Gum, Tetrasodium Edta, Triethanolamine, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea, Annato(ci 75120).
That’s a pretty long list! It’s usually best to use products with a lot less ingredients on people with sensitive skin as that way, the chances of having a negative reaction are slimmer. But anyway, do you see any ingredients you’re allergic to?
There are quite a few ingredients in this that could have given this reaction like Propylene Glycol or Parabens. Lactic Acid, although one of the best AHA to be used on sensitive skin, can cause skin irritation. It seems to contain lots of natural ingredients as well, but even those can cause irritation and allergy.
Hi there,
Just wondering if you’re based in the UK at all please? We do the PR for Clynol, and I wasn’t sure if you’d be interested in reviewing it…
