Avon super extend winged out mascara

Hello,

today I have two confessions about mascaras to make. I only use Avon mascaras because they have never failed on me. I can get them quite cheap (I honestly don't even know how much mascara costs in the store) and they really delivers what they promise. The other confession is that I don't throw mascara out after three months of use. I don't like my mascaras to be super wet and the texture gets just right after a month or two and since I don't use it every single day I don't feel the need to throw away a product that is still full and stinks just like the brand new one. Anyone else feels me on this?

Avon super extend winged out mascara

I have been using this one for a while now. It is Avon super extend winged out mascara (super long name that's what it is) in brown/black. I don't pick it up in standard black color because I feel that it would be to harsh on me even though this color is very dark almost black. 



It has rubber wand which is my favorite. I feel that this type nicely combs through lashes and really separate them. I don't like glued together lashes but I prefer something that individualize them and makes them longer. This baby delivers just that, it has fibers in so it really makes your lashes look longer. So far I love it and I will love it even more when the formula will dry a notch.
I am giving five thumbs up for this one.

e-bay order

Hello,

I have been waiting for this package for a long time but now it is finally here. Be careful if you will ever order stuff from Korea that you don't exceed the highest allowed value of the package,  I did and I had to pay tax :(  so now all the things I ordered aren't as cheap as I expected. Next time I will rather buy less or at least wait that seller will ship my package and than ordered another bunch. Lesion learned.




I literally got these items today so I didn't even have the time to play with them but they will get my full attention. There are two brow pencils which are for my sister but she doesn't know that yet, it will be a surprise for her.
The other two products are for me and they are both from Tony Moly, one is a beautiful blush and the other one is a make-up base.
After I will try them I will post a short review if I like them or not.

daily moisturizer

Hello,

today I have a simple one but very beneficial in my everyday routine. I will talk about my daily moisturizer which gives me enough moisture but it doesn't act greasy.




This is Neutrogena visibly clear oil-free moisturizer. The texture is just right not too liquid-y that you would have to store it upside. I don't need much product to cover my entire face and it nicely moisturizes and it sinks in after a couple of seconds. It leaves my skin matte but hydrated. I can proceed to apply my make-up right away. So far I haven't have any reactions and this is rare. 
I really don't have anything bad to say about it. If you have sensitive and oily skin I would recommend you trying it.

5. NOTD

Hello,

today I had enough time to repaint my nails. I decided to go with a bit lighter color just to change things up. This is O.P.I. Moon over Mumbai. As you can see it is on the sheer side of life ;)
but I don't mind if it is a bit more sheer I think that it looks delicate and airy. I used three layers and they dried up really fast so I had zero problems with it.

O.P.I. Moon over Mumbai


Grey and lavender hues on my nails are my favorite, I'm not really picky with tones when we talk about these two colors. When (cheaper) brands release some I just have to get them. My eye is already focused on new Essence TE called All That Greys.

Salmon Nude

Hello,

not that long time ago (maybe two weeks ago) I got into blushes. Before that I have never worn one but now I own three and today I will show you one that I think is my favorite.

Tony Moly Cheektone blush Salmon Nude

This is Tony Moly Cheektone blush in the shade Salmon Nude. I have to admit that I purchased this one without seeing any proper swatches online. I just liked the name and based on that I placed my order. On the picture the color is pretty darn close. I thought that it will be a bit more pinky-peachy shade since they named it Salmon but it looks quite orange-y but it blends in nicely. 




On my super pale skin this one looks amazing if I may say. It has no shimmer but still it makes my skin glow a bit and I blame this particular color for that. I think peachy blushes makes you look healthier and this one does just that. It revitalizes my complexion without looking unnatural. I would show you how it looks on me but my camera hates me.

Here it is on my hand and you can barely notice it. My face is a bit lighter than my hand and it shows a bit better but it is not super pigmented. I don't mind if the blush is not over pigmented I actually think this is even better because no one wants clown checks. It is easier to layer more sheer stuff than deal with crazy pigment at least in my opinion.
There are six more shades with lovely names such as Marmalade or Deep Kiss Lover or Wink Coral... for now I have enough blushes but when I will feel like I need one more blush  I will definitely cheek this line and pick some more Cheektone blushes from Tony Moly.

Essence palette

Hello,

today I will venture into eye shadows a bit. I recently got a discount for already affordable Essence palette. Of course I used it up but I wanted to get the nude one but it was sold out so I settled for the bronze one.

Essence All about Bronze palette

This is the new Essence palette All about Bronze. It contains 8 shimmery warm shades. The clear packaging makes it easier to find it in my drawer but I am missing a mirror.




I own one palette from the old line. They were also called All about... but they had only 6 shades. If I compare the two I would say that this one is way more pigmented than the old one.

Like I already said they are all shimmery some more than others. I personally like the first and last one in both lines because they aren't as warm as the middle shades.  The four middle shades are all very warm and a bit orange-y. I would say that is just because I'm more used to wear cooler tones or at least not so warm ones.

At the end I would say that I'm happy with the palette. I think I can create a lot of looks with it and specially if I incorporate some other shades and mix them with the ones presented here. You just can't beat the price, the full price for it is 4,39€. I think I will pick up the All about Nudes soon.

tinted lip balm

Hello,

today I decided to write about another lip product. More specifically it is a red tinted lip balm.

Avon tinted lip balm Soothing Strawberry 


This is Avon tinted lip balm in the shade Soothing Strawberry. Can we talk about the packaging first? It is the same as it is for the lipsticks but in the white version so you can distinguish them among your lipsticks. I love it and secretly I wish they would change all the packaging into white.

It doesn't have any scent but it does have a little bit of a taste. I can't put my finger at what it is because it is very faint but I would say it is a bit orange-y. I rubbed my lips before I apply it to make sure there is nothing on them and I swear it has a bit of a taste. It doesn't bother me but I do lick my lips more often than normally. 




The shade I choose was basic red, they also have hot pink and peach version (I might pick this one as well). The product is soft and very pigmented. You don't need to rub much, sometimes one layer is enough but if you want a bit better more even look two or three layers should do it. This is the most pigmented tinted balm I have tried. I have been using it all day long and it did created a bit of a stain, so now I use it a couple of times and then I layer it with a clear balm or gloss.
It is wet looking on the lips and it transfers onto the glasses but if you are careful it wears off nicely. 

I really like it, it is moisturizing and properly tinted. I love red lips so this is great for me. As I mentioned I might pick the peach-y shade as well because at the moment I love peach color on my lips.
