Bourjois Volume glamour ultra black mascara




before
after


 As you can see from the pictures above, Bourjois mascara really makes a difference on my lashes. I feel it makes my lashes visible, it doesn´t clamp them together, it elongates them. The application is easy, the wand is just the right size, not to small, not to big. The color really is ultra black. It is suppose to make your lashes very voluminous, but i am said to say that is a lie. I think this mascara works really well for day or a relaxed night out looks, but it isn´t too dramatic. It is a perfect everyday mascara. Definitely not suitable for dramatic party looks. Also, i think it is a bit overpriced.



Grade: 3,5/5 hearts






Do you like this mascara? Let me know.

Rimmel apocalips lip lacquer review






I have been dying to try Rimmel apocalips lip lacquers for a while, so i am so happy that i finally got the chance. Before i tell you what i think about it, i have to tell you i absolutely despise lip glosses. I hate the tackiness, ugh. Hate it. But hearing all those good things and reviews, it really made me curious. And i am so glad i went for it. I picked the color Celestial (101).

I absolutely love this product. It has AMAZING pigmentation. The colors are very vibrant and the color selection is pretty decent. It is also long lasting. The application is easy and quick. Even tough it is very similar to lip glosses it is not tacky. It has a certain smell, but i can´t say i love or hate it. I like the packaging, it is different, cute and convenient.

I love it! :)


Grade: 5/5 hearts

Empties #1



Products:

- Nivea indulging cleansing milk
  This has been my favourite eye make-up remover for years. It is very creamy and sensitive to the eyes, yet effective at removing make-up. Since i have sensitive eyes it really fits.
 
- Dove rich nourishment cream
  I don´t know if i mentioned this before, but i really love Dove products. My favourite is this rich nourishment hand cream. The name says it all. it is very rich and nourishing, and a must for cold winter days.

- Catrice cosmetics All round mascara
  I bought this mascara on sale, so i didn´t really expect any miracles. As i predicted i didn´t find it amazing. There is nothing special about it. :(

- Manhattan Mat effect eyeshadow in 29C Mat ivory 
  I used this eyeshadow for blending my eyeshadow to make it softer. But i found that face powder does the same job, therefore i won´t be repurchasing this item. But these eye shadows do have good pigmentation.
 

- Maybelline Affinitone concealer
  Even though it looks like there is still some product in the tube it really isn´t. Anyway, i had really high expectations for this concealer, but it let me down. It is not that great. I mean, it semi-conceals imperfections, but that doesn´t work for me. So i am on a hunt for an amazing liquid concealer. Any suggestions?
 

- Essence Soft and natural foundation
  Again, it is not AMAZING, but for the price it comes pretty close. This was my third repurchase, and actually the first foundation i have ever tried. That is why it will always have a special place in my heart. :)





Have you tried any of these? Any thoughts?

Love,
