Hey guys, it's Mi-Anne, and this is Beauty With Mi.
Welcome to another addition of
of "Mi-Anne tries one brand for the whole week
and tells you all about it".
& Other Stories is a fashion brand
actually owned by H&M that has beautiful clothing,
but they actually have a very big beauty collection
that I have always known about but never tried.
So, I decided to get a bunch of stuff, an
entire full face of makeup, and even some hair care stuff, and try it this week and we
will get into it. Before we do though,
please make sure you are subscribed down below.
While you're at it please add me on instagram @Mianne.chan.
First things first, is foundation.
So, this is the & Other Stories Creme Foundation
that I have been wearing this week.
I wear the shade... I wear the shade...I...
I wear the shade "trey sand", and I have to say I am pretty surprised
by this formula. I was expecting something called a creme foundation
to be quite thick on the thicker side.
The bottle kinda looks like Estee Lauder double wear, so my mind I was expecting
fuller coverage. This is very, very sheer and very, very dewy.
I definitely needed to powder over it, especially in the T zone,
but if you're into this very, glossy-skin kind of finish, it's quite nice.
Next up is my favorite product of the entire week.
The & Other Stories powder blushes. They are so, so pretty.
Not only do they come in the most beautiful punchy colors.
They are so pigmented on. You just need the smallest little touch
and it will cover your whole cheek, give you a fresh healthy glow.
This orangey tangerine shade I wore all over the lid as an eye shadow.
This pink is also gorgeous eye shadow too, highly recommend.
Next up is highlighter. & Other Stories has this aluminizing powder that I
used as my highlighter. It is a nice champagne.
This is the only shade I believe, and it is very, very natural.
I would say it kind of has like a candle lit kind of glow.
Definitely doesn't have a lot of intense sparkle.
You can see it for sure when you put it on your cheek bone,
but it's not going to give you a megawatt shine.
I can pile it on really good and it's not going to be too blinding.
So, I think it' s a very good every day one.
Moving on to eye shadows. So & Other Stories has a few eye shadows.
This is the only quad that I got. This is the tarte and club eye color palette.
These shadows feel very similar to the blushes.
The powders are the slick side. When you touch it you can definitely feel
some kind of silicone in this formula that gives it a lot of slip.
Because of that though, they do...they
can catch on the lid. So if you're wearing eyelid primer on your lid, and it's kinda
on the wet side. I would suggest slapping a little bit of powder on your lid before
applying these, then they blend beautifully. They are gorgeous shades.
This shade in particular, this mid tone brown is a great blending shade.
I love this shade to deepen up the crease under the eye, like
I am wearing today. A nice neutral palette, I think for $15, this is definitely on the
pricey side for a quad. I mean you can go to the drug store and get excellent trio or
quad from Wet And Wild or Covergirl. So totally up to you.
So, next up on eye front is this eye marker.
This is called Bombazine black eye marker, and it is really nice.
Open it up, really nice classic felt tip, but it is very small and very precise.
It makes it really easy to draw on wings. It is very black.
It is long wearing. I am wearing it today.
Really easy to use I highly recommend this one actually it is a very good eye liner.
So, last thing on the makeup front is lipstick. So, this is & Other Stories classic lipstick.
It is very moisturizing, pretty pigmented.
I think its a really classic lipstick, satin finish, good pigment, easy to wear, comfortable.
So, onto hair,
this was actually the category I was most excited about,
because & Other Stories recently launched a haircare range in
the past year or so.
This is the restore shampoo. This shampoo is color safe, it doesn't have sulfates.
It is a very thin shampoo if that makes sense. It comes out and I was actually
surprised by how liquidy it was. It smells really good.
I mean all & Other Stories stuff
smells amazing because they do really goodscents.
Really nice texture. I actually washed my hair yesterday,
and my hair air dried and I liked the way that it feels.
I didn't lather a lot in the shower, which I took as a good sign, because it is sulfate free
so it's not going to have all that foaming that a sulfate shampoo would.
So, I like this one.
Next up is this Restore Treatment,
which I used as a hair conditioner.
It has coconut, hibiscus extract in it, vegetable keratin. Left it in for like
3 minutes in the shower, again it smells really good.
The next hair product is this fullness thickening cream,
which is supposed to give thickness, body, heat protection.
I never heat style my hair, but it does give you heat protection if you need it.
I would use this in conjunction with the shampoo and conditioner.
After getting out of the shower. My hair was kind of wet,
but toweled dried I would put a dollop of this through my mid lengths and ends,
and then scrunch before air drying. It kind gave my hair a little of frizz control.
The first day after I washed my hair, my hair tends to get very fluffy and frizzy.
This is the day after I washed my hair and it's actually really much more controlled.
Normally it's like bigger, and fuzzier. I think this definitely helped contain that.
Last but not least, body care. After the shower, I put on this Elettaria Body Milk,
which is so cute, it comes in a little milk carton style packaging.
It also smells really good, let's try it.
Like a warm milk that your mom may put a little honey in, a
little vanilla, a little cinnamon, and then you drink it before bed.
She never did that.
But let's imagine that might happened.
It's a nice body lotion, very light weight, soaks in really fast,
it's not the kind of body lotion that you need wait around
naked it before you put on clothing. Um, I do that anyway though.
That is it guys!
