Favorite Powders






Hello beauties! So I just wanted to make a quick post about my favorite powders because as I mentioned earlier I have tried many different kinds and I want to share some of them with you. I kind of tried to categorize them. The first one is that I use every day and it has little bit of coverage, the second one is with more coverage and he third one is a loose powder.

Ok guys. You know about this one. I use it on daily bases. It is amazing. It is the Maybelline Dream Mat Powder and I love it. It keeps my shine away and i makes my foundation stay in place during the day. It doesn't have that much coverage but if you are still looking for something other than a loose powder than that might be it. The packaging is super cute and girly. And the one thing that makes this powder even more amazing is that you can have it your purse and use it anywhere. It comes with a mirror and a soft puff to apply it. I personally don't really use it that much  but when I am out and about and I don't have brush then that is amazing. The price I think is reasonable and it is actually not a high-end product. It comes in 4 shades and you can get it in any drug store that sells Maybelline products. If you like that type of powders definitely check this one and it comes in handy when out go out with it. 


The next one is with more coverage and I love that one guys! It is from AVON from their Color Trend series. Again it comes with a puff but not that soft as the Maybelline one. The packaging is not that bad although they recently changed it. It comes in 2 shades(at least in my country are 2 only) and they both seem quite dark. Although I am not really pale the colors are just dark. They are kind of pigmented and probably this makes them too dark and with lots of coverage. But again I used it before and I really like it although I don't get it that often any more. It just too heavy for me but if you have a tan give it a try. They are not expensive at all. 


And the third one is a loose powder. Now when I went to the drug store I was going to get a mineralized powder but when I saw this one I was really interested in it. So I asked the lady from the drug store and she told me that if I want a powder without actually adding color then the loose powder was the answer. I was going to get an expensive one but she told me to try one from Essence since I was going to try it. And I got the Fixing Loose Powder. And if you just want to set up your make-up without messing it up then you should definitely try it. The packaging is nice but if you want to take it in your purse the you will need lots of other stuff. It doesn't come with a brush and it can make a mess when you open it. So keep that in mind. In the end I really like it but I gave it to my mother because she was actually running out of powders(her skin isn't oily like mine so she doesn't have many powders anyway) and she loved it. 



So that was my review guys! Hope you liked it. Please comment below or tweet me for the next review you would like to see. And I will talk to you guys next week!

My everyday make up routine


Hello girls! So this time I have lots of products to show you but fist of all I am going to start as a thank you to everyone who actually took a minute and read the previous articles.

So lets start. As I already told you guys in the morning I use my Bioderma water to gently clean my face from any excess oil and dirt. I pour a little bit onto a cotton pad and clean my face. Sometimes I tend to use a cleanser but when I rush to go out I simply use my Bioderma H2O.

The second thing that I use is the Avon SPF cream which I use as a moisturizer and a base for my make up. When I am too lazy or I have a day off I only apply a small amount of that product to protect my skin from the sun and I go out. And let me tell you something guys. The amount of SPF cream that you should use on your face is one table spoon! That's right. One table spoon. Sun is the number ONE main reasons to cause skin cancer and speeding up the aging process. So always take care of your skin when you go out. (Link about the product)

Then I apply my foundation. Now, when it comes to this step I just use what I feel like using at that moment. If my skin feels great and healthy I use my L'Oreal Infallible Lasting Perfecting Foundation. (Mine is in number 140 Golden Beige. Which I found to be the lightest color in the drugstore although I am not really pale.) I apply it with my Ecotools foundation brush which I talked about the last time. (If you want to know more about their brushes check my review by clicking here.) But on days when I just don't need that much coverage or my skin is feeling dehydrated then I use my Manhattan Natural Mat make up from their series Clear face. If you want a review on any of the foundation please comment below or sent me a tweet. Otherwise I use this product when it is not that hot because it tends to just go away even when I apply a powder on. Keep in mind that my skin is oily.



The next step is to apply powder. And I am just going to throw it out there. I have a quite big amount of powders just because of my skin type. I have tried a lot of interesting variations and if you have that same problem please leave me comment and tell me about you favorites and keep tuned for 'My favorite powder review'. The one that I use the most is the Maybelline Dream Mat Powder. I find it very interesting in a good way. It doesn't really have that much coverage or should I say no coverage at all. But it does a good job at setting your make-up and keeping any shine away during the day although I have to reapply it. (Link to the powder)


So that was about the face and about the rest of the face I like to keep it very simple. I just curl my lashes and again I just wake up and use what I feel I like the best during that morning. Sometimes I just use a little of dark brown eyeshadow and a very thin eyeliner or just a little bit of pink and shimmer on my eyelids. For mascara I am just going to tell you about two of my babies. The first one is the Maybelline Rocket Mascara and the other one is the Lash Architect 4D Mascara by L'Oreal.(Link for Mayballine) (Link for L'Oreal)

  

When it comes to lips I am not gonna lie. I am more a lip stick fan than a gloss. But sometimes I tend to put a glossy lip stick like my very favorite actually - Maybelline Color Whisper in the number 130, Pink Possibilities.(Link to the product)


I Don't really use blush that often but when I do I keep it really simple.

So that was just an inside of my everyday make-up look. If you use any of these products please leave you comment below. And if you would like to see a more detailed review on any of the products mentioned tweet me or leave a comment. Hope you guys enjoyed it and if you did please share it on Twitter or Facebook. It really means a lot. Thanks!

Ecotools foundation brushes


Hello girls! So today I am going to tell you about the most amazing brushes I have ever used. I recently got them because I tend to travel a lot and I can't really take lots of stuff with me! I thought about buying a sponge? But my bestie had one and it seems to do nothing much better than using my own fingers. So I thought about brushes. They seem to bled the foundation really easily and even without making lots of mess. So I made my little research on what should I get and lots of the comments said that Ecotools (here is a link to their website) make fantastic make-up brushes and the price is not high. If you want to go and buy brushes there is nothing bad. But girls think about how often do you use them because nice brushes are good investment or they can be also a waist of money if you don't use them. Anyway here are the ones that I recently got and fell in love with them the very first time I used.

This one it called the Custom Coverage Buffing Brush and I use it to blend the foundation evenly into my skin. I just add a little bit of the foundation on my left hand then I take my brush and apply it on my skin. This brush just does a great job when it comes to blending and smoothing everything up! (Link to this brush)

The second one that I got is the Flat Foundation Brush. And it is really easy to use when it comes to smoothing what the big one couldn't do. The under eye area and around the nose.(Link to this brush)

So that was my mini review about these little guys and I really hope you liked it! Please comment below and tell me if you use any of them or other amazing brushes that you have found. And for more reviews tweet me or leave a message!

Essence review


Hello guys. So for todays review I have some Essence stuff I have found to be quite nice and inexpensive. 
1.As a start I am going to begin with the brushes. Now I really don't have that much brushes because I don't really need a lot of them but one of my friends said that the eye make up brushes from Essence do the job very well and the price is not high at all. I went to the local drug store and I picked one just to try and I actually really liked it. They are not very hard and even work with most wet eyeshadows that I have. My mother actually got the first one that I bought because she loved it and I ended up going to the shop again with all new three. The powder brush which I use every time I apply powder and the two eye make up brushes. Do I recommend this product: Yes, if you are looking for inexpensive brushes. 
 

2. I tried quite a few eyeliners but to be hones with you guys I really can't put an eyeliner  correctly. So when I went to the shop I asked for the ones that make a really thin line. That's why I picked up the Essence Super Fine eyeliner which I can use very easily. It does not mess up during the day despite the fact that I have oily eyelids. Do I recommend this product: I would say yes if you are looking for an eyeliner which makes a really thin line.

And for those of you who like to use brow gel I use the one form Essence also. It is definitely not something super amazing and ultra strong but why would you need one like that anyway? I find that is does the job and it works great for my eyebrows. It keeps them in place during the day and is easy to put on and it drys quickly. 
3. Now guys this is really important if you have oily eyelids like I do. I always have to put on eye primer before I put anything else on my eyes. This product I bought like a long time ago and I use it till now. It really works quite well. It can be put really easily but I tend to smudge it with my finger just to bled it in.The lady from the drugstore also told me that I can use it as a primer on some areas on my face to keep my make up stay all day. I tried it during the summer and it kind of works also it is just an eye primer. I definitely recommend this product for the summer days and for the people like me with oily eyelids for all seasons. 

4. Eyeshadows! Those colors are seriously amazing. I love them. I just put them almost everyday because they look so natural during the day and when it is night time I just add the last color from the palette called "to die for"which is number 05.(which is very favorite palette from all of them) at the corner of my eye. Do I recommend this product: Yes I do. They stay in place and look beautiful. 
5. And last but not least are my two favorite nail polishes from Essence. The first one is the pink in the number 104 from their series "Color and Go". I also use it when I do a French manicure but you can use it on its own too. It is really fresh and girly looking pink. And the other one is the Essence Show Your Feet which is a toe nail polish and it is antibacterial. Not to lie I use it on hands too because I like this color and you can go with only one coat. Both of them take the usual time to dry out and look stunning. Do I recommend this product: I do. 

So this was my review about some of my favorite Essence products. Hope you guys liked it and please comment below to tell me what are favorites or tweet me about review that you want to see!

The review of Bioderma Sebium AI cream


Hello guys. Hope you are doing great today. So recently I wanted a really nice product to pick up because when it is summer outside my make up just doesn't stay in place and my skin becomes even shinier that it already is. So that's why I went to the store and bought Bioderma AI cream which tends to make your skin healthier and to eliminates spots. (You can check for more info by clicking here) It also says that guarantees excellent tolerance which in my case just did not work. When I first saw the consistency it was really oily and sticky although it says that you can put make up over it. I think this is "mission  impossible". So when I washed my face with the usual products that use and the Bioderma water that I really love. I applied a small amount but my skin immediately became red and kind of itchy. It did not work at all on the few spots but it made my redness a little bit smaller. There was nothing dramatical about it but I thought this is not a cheap product to try. It also has such a contrast in the comments that I read about it. Some people claim to love it and others just put it in the trash. Overall I think it can work for pore clearing and scarring but that's it. I will probably use it sometime because it really helped my shine to stay in place and I only used it night time for 2 days. It definitely stops the shine. To be honest I wouldn't really buy it again but if you want to try it ask for a sample(tester) in the closest pharmacy. It may work for you. Aside from that I also just tried the Bioderma Sebium AKN which has absolutely nothing in common with the AI one. I like the AKN much better. Definately stay tunned for the next review which will be about that product. And please if you have tried one of these, comment below and say what was your experience.

My skin care routine

When it comes to make up during the summer it is really important to find the right  products. The sun can make a lot of damage to the skin so we have to take care of our skin just like we do with out teeth. With that said so you should always stay fresh. Those are the products that I like and they tend to work quite nice for this hot season. If you are interested keep on reading.
 1. First you always have to start with with a fresh face so I like to use waters like the Bioderma one. You can also clean your face with water and a cleanser but I don't always have that much time during the morning and this product does the job just as good.

This can be found in many  pharmacies in Europe so if you live there and you haven't  tried that product yet, you should definitely check it out. It is really gentle to you skin and they also have really good moisturizers. 
2. Next off is a sun screen protection. Now you can use many different kinds but I have found one that I really like. It has SPF 20 but it is also a moisturizer and makes you skin look and feel more healthy. It doesn't make you look white either and the the price is not that high. 
3. Then you can put on your make up on. That really depends on your skin type so before you buy a product i  suggest  you google it and see what people have to say. That  doesn't  mean that everything is true but better to know before you spend your money on it!
