March Favorites & Reviews

These are my beauty favorites and news for March/April, folks. As you can see, I love things that smell good. Let me tell you that this showerfel from Dove in the scent *goes to bathroom to check* blue fig and orange blossom, smells fantastic. It's a fruity, summery scent and I absolutely recommend it! Also, the Marc Anthony shampoo you see here, smells very strongly like vanilla or at least a warm scent. I think you'll either love it or hate it, check in the store if you can. Besides the scent, which I adore, it leaves your hair feeling like you just applied conditioner! It's also sulfate free, which has become more and more important to me lately.

 

This moisturiser is amazing for drier skin. It almost feels like a primer when I've applied it. Unfortunately, mine is all empty.. I absolutely recommend it, because of the results and the affordable price. 

So, the maybelliene Fit Me Foundation Stick. You'd think it's harder to smooth over the skin since it's a stick, but I assure you the texture is unique. It glides on in a thin layer and feels like a primer. I find it pretty buildable and it does not require alot of powdering. I personally love to apply my cheeck products directly on top of my foundation, since they last longer that way. They have something to stick to, and when I then powder over everything, it blends and looks really natural. The lasting power, though, is not that good. About 3 hours tops for me, without primer. 

The L'oreal Radiance Revealing Scrub attracted me, because of the fresh colour and scent. I'll take everything that makes my mornings less horrid, so I though a nice citrus-scented facewash would be nice. As you can see, though, the product itself was clear. I must admit, I was rather dissappointed and the words "false advertising" didn't leave my mind. It's a very nice scrub, though. I use it in the mornings or evenings, not both. In my head it doesn't make sense to moisturise dry skin without exfoliating it first, otherwise you're just applying product on dead skin.
I hope you guys enjoyed this favorites/review! Have a great weekend or easter holiday, like me. 

Fall Favorites and News

Pics of some of my favorite products lately. Some are very new, some I've already tried out and fallen in love with. Let me know if you have any of these or what your Fall-favorites are!

 The Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream

 Overall, I really like it. It's pretty thick and I cover sections of my face at a time, instead of dotting it all over. The coverage is perfect for slightly uneven pigmentation and red spots. The finish is so matt that I somethimes skip powder. The only minus is the lasting-power..There's hardly anything left at the end of a schoolday. 

The Nivea Lip Butter

This product has a very nice warm scent. It's a white, very sheer lipbalm that moisturises very well. A thick layer before bed guarantees silky soft lips the next morning. It's affortable and, in my opinion, comparable to the Korres Lip Butters. You really can't go wrong with this baby. 

The Body Shop Brazil Nut
Cream Body Scrub

I just got this today. I was completely out of bodyscrub, and since winter is coming, I find it important to have one. I've tried the Vanilla Body Scrub which was a limited edition during christmas, and I loved it. This seems similiar in texture and the smell is awesome. Nutty, but not too heavy. I'll let you know how this makes my skin feel!

Essie Allure Nailpolish

I got this color because I didn't own anything that was lighter than my skin. I love nude nails for the colder months, especially with contrasting dark makeup or clothes. This polish dries clear with one coat and has a beautiful milky finish with two. The nails look clean and neat.

Maybelline 287 Midnight Red Nailpolish

Burgundy is an absolute essential for fall/winter. The one I had was getting thick and gooey, so it had to go..
This polish looks nice with one coat, but still a little uneven. Two coats give a glossy finish. The staying power is not the strongest, maybe 3 days. I love the brush as well, not as wide as the essie ones. Overall a nice polish for this season.



Dove Shea Butter & Vanilla  Nourishing Lotion

A great skincare product. I really love this guys. It smells wonderful, really moisturises and sinks in withing 15 min. That's really important to me, for example, I stopped using bodybutters for that reason. But when I put this on after the shower, it sinks in while I brush my teeth and moisturise my face. Absolutely recommending it to you!
