Nivea in shower body milk

Hello,

today I will talk about a product I keep in my shower. I won this product and I am happy that I did because I am not sure if I would pick it up myself. I am not a big fan of Nivea products but this one surprised me.

Nivea in shower body milk

It is Nivea in shower body milk. You keep it in the shower and after you wash yourself you apply it on your wet skin, rinse it of and tap dry with a towel. Afterwards you don't need to apply additional moisturizer. Well sometimes I still do because my skin is getting more and more dry and this one doesn't do enough. I feel that this product would be more suitable for hot summer days when you still need to moisturize but you don't want that greasy feeling. 

I love the scent of it. it is nothing specific but you smell like a clean person that just got out of the shower (I think they have regular body milk with this scent and probably I will pick it out to see if that one is better for more dry skin).

The texture is less liquid than a milk but still nice to disperse all over. I have to admit it is weird to apply moisturizer over wet skin and then rinse it off. I feel there is some residue left on it but it is far from being sticky or greasy.

I think it is a nice product, I'm especially in love with the scent but  my dry skin would appreciate this more in the warmer months.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day 

ARTDECO eye shadow base

Hello,

this time I will talk about my Holy Grail product. I have very oily lids and I tried a couple of other bases and nothing worked until this one came into my life. I heard good things about it and I decided to buy it and I don't regret it. I purchased it at the end of March this year and I still have tons of product left.

ARTDECO eye shadow base

It is ARTDECO eye shadow base. It come in this little pot which contains 5 g and costs around 6 or 7€. Quite cheap if you ask me. I would prefer different packaging because the more I use it the harder I get the product out. I am sure every lady with longer nails understand my issue. But none the less I figure it out and I manage to get the product out without getting it under my nails.

The product itself looks beige, skin colored but when I apply it on it doesn't really cover anything so it is more or less colorless but it does have some shimmer. Sometimes I use it on its own because I don't mind shimmer but if you prefer matte eye shadows the shimmer doesn't show through. 

Since I started using it I wear eye shadows on a daily base because now I know they will last all day long. It doesn't matter if I use cheap or more expensive eye shadows, matte or shimmery, loose pigment or cream product this little boy handles all of them. 

This has become my staple in my make-up routine and I will keep buying it. I recommend you to try it if you have oily lids and if you can find it in the store you won't regret it.

Avon Glossy Pencils

Hello,

I finally properly tested these two boys and I have some mixed feelings about them. I will wear and used them up but they aren't so great as I expected to be at least one of them isn't.

Avon Glossy Pencils Glossy Ruby and Glossy Rose 

They are by Avon Color Trend and they are called Glossy Pencils. They aren't super big but because they are chubbier you still probably get a lot of product. The packaging is white plastic and at the bottom there is colorful ring that is supposed to match the product you get. At first I thought you can twist them up but it turned out that I have to sharpen them (what a bummer, sometimes I get lazy wit the sharpener).

The first one is called Glossy Ruby and the other one is Glossy Rose. They are really soft not so soft that they would break but when you put them on they glide and moisturize my lips while I'm wearing them. The formula is really nice. They aren't sticky or tacky they feel like a proper lightweight lip balm.

Avon Glossy Pencils Glossy Ruby 

Ruby shade looks a bit deeper but when I apply it on my lips it is not as dark as it looks in the packaging. It covers my lips evenly and fades away nicely. I feel it is a nice lip balm with red tint that is not as serious as lipstick might be but still not as overwhelming as sometimes lip glosses are. I know I will wear this beauty tons through cold autumn weather.

Avon Glossy Pencils Glossy Rose 

This next shade is called Glossy Rose. I don't know about you but when I see a lip product with a rose mentioned in the name I imagine something more pink but this one is warm beige with tons of shimmer. It even looks a bit frosty but is not as pigmented as the first one so I think it is not horrible. I didn't wore it on it's own but I ether top it of with a gloss or I added just one layer over some peach lipsticks to add a bit gloss and shine. This is not my preferred color or finish but I will make it work.

For the end I saved swatches. I took gazillion photos but none of them shows the colors nicely. Ruby shade is actually a bit more vivid but with the Rose one is what you see, barely any color just some shimmer.

Hello,

it was time to repaint my nails. This time I went with something dark and blue. I was looking for color like that for a while but nothing was quite right until I  came across with this beauty.

Essence Indigo to go

I am talking about Essence Indigo to go color. Dark blue base with duo chrome shimmer in it. The shimmer reflect from bright blue all the way to the turquoise. In my opinion it is a must in my ever growing collection.

e-bay purchase

Hello,

today I ran to the post office because another package was waiting for me (I'm there so frequently that post clerks already know me by my first name). I could say that this time the package was a bit smaller, only three products.

Skin Food, Tony Moly and A'pieu

On the top there is Skin Food Buckwheat loose Powder in Transparent, Tony Moly Petite Bunny Gloss Bar in shade Juicy Peach (how cute it is) and A'pieu Nonco Tea Tree oil (I have acne prone skin and I can't find tea tree oil in stores so I ordered it).

I will give myself a few days to properly test them and than I will report back.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Hello,

this past few days I have been wearing one of my favorite nail polish. It was part of the Catrice LE and sadly it is no longer available.

Catrice Paralilac

This is Catrice Paralilac from the Celtica collection. It is a blend of dusty lavender and grey color with some flakes thrown in the mix. The color is unique and perfect for moody autumn weather.

Catrice Paralilac

And this is how it looks on my nails. I absolutely love it.

Another October purchase

Hello,

on Friday I stopped at the drugstore for another quick purchase. I'm not quite sure what is happening with me because I turned to be a complete shopping maniac lately. In this past month or two I have bought so much make-up and beauty stuff which I can compare with the entire year of purchase. I really can't control myself. At least I don't buy everything at once but little by little. So, this Friday I went home and on the way I stopped in the drugstore plus I had coupons so I payed much less than I would usually.

First I picked up this palette. I actually wanted the All about Nudes palette but it was sold out. I opted for this one because it is still neutral but with a warmer touch. First swatches looks nice a bit shimmery but that was expected. I will try to wear the first layer off to see if it will be less glittery and I will report back.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

                                                                           
                                                                                                                             
Next are two Sheer & Shine lipsticks. I am a big fan of moisturizing and wet looking lipsticks. I don't care much for matte finish. I choose a light pink ( again I wanted the popular All about cupcakes but it was sold out) which is named Candy Love and deeper one is called I feel pretty. On first swatches the pink one barely shows, I hope it will be better when I will apply it on my lips.
