Spring 2018: New products from Catrice and L.O.V.

The brands L.O.V. and Catrice have updated their line and added a lot of new products. I got to try a few of them and want to share my opinions of them with you in this blog post:

Catrice BlushFlush LE ▪ Ombre Blush Palette ▪ C01

Feels like it has been a while since I was so intrigued by a LE product from the drugstore. I've seen these blushes pop up on social media and was immediately drawn to them because of the retro packaging design and the ombre setup inside. 

Review: L'Oreal ·Pure Clay· Glow mask & Illuminating Cleansing Gel

My skin was always a bit problematic, with excess sebum production and constant blemishes, it was always a challenge to find suitable skincare. I found that clays and charcoal work well with my skin and was therefore really excited when the face mask and cleansing gel from the L'Oreal Pure Clay arrived in the post.

Le Couvent des Minimes: Eau du Prieuré

As I am writing this post, wrapped in a blanked while looking at the rain falling outside, I'm pretty sure that summer is coming to an end. To be completely honest, I'm quite excited for fall, the colder weather, colourful leaves and cosy evenings.

However, I'm not ready to say goodbye to summer just yet. If you are like me and want to hold on to the summer feeling for a little bit longer, this new and limited edition fragrance from Le Couvent des Minimes might be just the thing you need.

L'Occitane Pivoine Sublime Lip Balm SPF 25 - Tender Red

Peonies have always been my favourite flowers and it's no wonder that L'Occitane's Peony line still reigns amongst my all-time-favourites. One of the newest additions to the collection were the Pivoine Sublime Tinted Lip Balms. Formulated with SPF 25 and perfecting peony extract, they provide the lips with necessary care and protection and offer a bit of coloured tint. 

Too Faced · Sweet Peach Palette· Review and Swatches

The Sweet Peach eyeshadow palette by Too Faced had conquered the world. First available only as a fun limited edition, it quickly got so popular, that Too Faced decided not only to make it permanent, but to heavily focus on expanding the Peach line.

I don't know whether it is the sweet peach scent, amazing quality or cute packaging that makes people go crazy for it, but I fell in love with it and want to share my review with you.

Comparison and Review: 4 Drugstore Eye Liners

Winged black eyeliner has been my go-to look for years. It's easy and quick to create and makes me look like I've made an effort with my look, even though I've just drawn a line on my eyelid. However, it's quite a challenge to find a drugstore eyeliner that will be pigmented, long-lasting and easy to use. I've prepared a comparison of four eyeliners from different drugstore brands, to help you find the perfect one for you.

Review: Essence "Next stop: Summer" lipstick and nail polish holder

The days are getting warmer and Essence are getting ready for summer with their new TE collection called »Next stop: Summer«. Last week I shared a preview of the collection with you and today I am here to share my thoughts after trying out the colour changing lipstick and nail polish holder.

Review: "ProvoCATRICE" Scented Powder

Last week I wrote about the new Catrice's limited edition collection called »ProvoCATRICE« (love the name!). I was sent a scented powder from the collection to try out and I wanted to share my thoughts with you before the collection comes out. That way you can decide if you are interested in the item and go find it in the stores.

Review: AlpStories Cleansing Gel ·Sage & Mint·

AlpStories is one of the brands that appeared on the market with innovative products and creation processes and I've always wanted to give their products ago. I've been using the Cleansing Gel with Sage and Mint for a while and thought it was about time I share my thoughts with you.

Review and Swatches: MakeUp Factory Gloss Expansion

Today I'm sharing with you the whole line of lip glosses that were added to Makeup Factory stands last summer. Continue reading to see all the swatches and read about my opinions.

mark. by Avon : New brand and product review

A while ago Avon introduced a new line called »mark.«, a new and exclusive makeup line created for makeup lovers who want to make their mark. Bloggers were invited to the launch, where we got to get to know the new line, play with all the new and exciting product and leave with a goodie bag with a few items to try out.

·L'Oreal Paris· Lip Paints, Infaillible Blush Paint and X-Fiber mascara review

Review: L'Oreal Elseve Extraordinary Clay

If you struggle with greasy hair, you will know that it can be quite a challenge to find hair care that will cater to your needs. With a majority of products focused on dry and damaged hair, I struggle to find something that would work well with my hair. For that reason, I was excited to see that this collection was finally available in our drugstores.

A hair care regime that would help my greasy roots and at the same time keep in mind the dry ends of my hair seemed too good to be true and of course, I had to try it out.

Review: Avon Life for Her

 

A while ago Avon released a new fragrance, called Avon Life that was created in collaboration with Kenzo. They created two lovely scents, one for men and one for women, and packed them into gorgeous bottles designed by Kenzo. As I was lucky enough to receive a set to test it out, I am here today to let you know how it performed:

Disappointing Products of Year 2016

For me it's always been hard to criticize different products I try. When I find products that don't work for me, I usually put them aside and never talk about them rather than saying something bad about them. But, it is time I started talking about the items that I don't like as well. I was inspired by Mateja's post about the products that didn't work out for her, so I went through my stash and picked out everything that did not impress me.

Autumn Makeup Menu

When it comes to autumnal makeup trends, I tend to be very traditional. As soon as the weather changes, I bring out all the rusty colors, and dark lip products and keep them on hand until the end of the year.

Over the past months, I've been lucky enough to receive quite a few autumnal makeup pieces and they work quite lovely together to create a quick and easy autumnal makeup look.

A huge review of AVON products (2016)

There is no doubt that Avon is so incredibly generous when it comes to spoiling us bloggers with different products. Some of them I get to try the moment I get them but some take a bit longer to properly try out and form my opinion. Finally, I managed to at least try each product at least once and now I am ready to share my opinions with you:

Quick Review: Montagne Jeunesse Green Mint and Tea Tree Oil mask

It seems like sheet masks are all the rage again and I am loving it. With an expanding selection of different brands and choices appearing in the drugstore, it is really easy to find that will work the best for you.

Afrodita "Secret Garden" collection

 Spring to me is all about flowers, any kind of flower will do, but if I had to choose, I would always go for peonies and magnolias. There is just something about the gorgeous floral aroma of the blossoms that makes me feel so incredibly happy in the spring.

In their new line of shower gels called »Secret Garden«, Afrodita are transporting us to a magical garden full of fragrant blossoms.
