Love this Lipstick, I don't usually wear lipstick or lip-gloss, but since I had a sample of this lipstick on my hands and tried it, I fell in love with it. Its dark rose colour and the soft texture make it perfect for every season.

Also I noticed how different a woman looks when she wears a lipstick with colour!
For example look at my picture before I apply the lipstick:

Even if I don't have a lipstick on my lips I could have apply some light rose or nude coloured lipstick, but when I applied the lipstick my whole face changes!

I strongly believe that this colour (No 9, rose stiletto) brings life to my face, as the before it's more plane and blank! The only con is that it wears off easily but maybe that is because I don't know all the secrets on how to perfectly apply a lipstick yet!

Hope you like it and if you have any suggestion/tip on how to make it last longer plz share it with me!

CHANEL, Poudre Universelle Libre Loose Powder Review

Before I apply the powder.

Now, as I said on my previous post (Dior BB cream + Dior Concealer Review) I'll write a review for the Chanel Poudre Universelle Libre Loose Powder.

Before I write my impressions I wanted to say that my previous face powder was a Bourjois compact powder with scent of roses which I loved, I wouldn't change it for anything and also it wasn't very expensive. But unfortunately I couldn't find this powder in the UK and I had to find something else. so after I looked up to several powder reviews I decided to use this one....

No 22, Rose Clair

I love it! It gives a glow, a freshness and a natural look which I also love! The truth is that even when I'm bored and I don't want to apply BB cream and Concealer, this Powder works perfectly. It lasts almost a full day, the texture is nice and also the scent. 

Now that I've the pros let me say the cons, first of all it is an expensive powder, (maybe you pay for what you bought?) and also I would like it to have one more lid to cover the holes, cause if you turn it up side down all the powder falls out. Other than that I think it's a fairly good powder...

Dior BB cream + Dior concealer, Diorskin Review

Hello everybody!

Today I decided to finally write a review for the beauty products I bought (some were gifts from my partner) months ago, take a look at the list here...

I have to admit it! I'm not a beauty expert, I don't know much regarding make up, eye shadows, lipstick, foundations and all that stuff... But what I expect from my beauty products is to give me a natural look! So for that reason I don't use eye shadows, eyebrows pencils, or bronzes or lips pencils etc. (to be honest I have no idea how to call most of the beauty products).

Anyway, as I was saying, I want a natural look, and I believe that the products I use attaining that look!

So after watching dozens video tutorials on youtube, I gained a basic knowledge on how to apply BB cream, concealer and all the other stuff. 

Here is a before Picture:

                                              I know, I look like I'm ill or something.

• First I apply the Diorskin Nude BB cream No 002, I've noticed that it doesn't provide a full coverage like a foundation, but personally I find the result satisfactory. The texture is very nice, not very heavy  or too light.  

As you can see, there is a difference, maybe some people want more coverage like a mask or something but that wouldn't be a natural look.

• After that I apply the  Dior Diorskin Nude Hydrating concealer No 001. I love this concealer and I don't know why! It is similar to BB cream, not full coverage, nice texture, neutral scent. But for some reason both these products provide a glow and a freshness and that is what I LOVE.  

In conclusion I would say that if you don't need full coverage and you like a natural look, these products are the best! I know they are a bit expensive but personally I wouldn't like to put in my face a very cheap product as I have very sensitive skin. Also I have a combination skin type, a predisposition to acne and I need to be extra careful of the ingredients in all the beauty products I use, wrong ingredient and I'll be full of pimples and zits...

Anyway next post will be a review on the Chanel loose powder

Stock up my make-up "bag"!

Alright honesty time!

I don't really have cosmetics/ beauty products. I only have some basics, for example a blush powder , eye pencils, my mascara ran out, and also my powder, I have a "lipstick like" concealer, which I don't use anymore and I would say that's all I have!

I was never really interested in make up, but now that I'm going to university for my main course I want to be like a proper lady!

So I searched on the internet for product reviews, my skin is very sensitive and I don't want to try any drugstore products. So I found some high-end products that I'm going to show you!

I'll probably buy them next week (the truth is that they'll be a gift from my partner, for my b-day!), and I'll tell you what I think...
so here are what I consider as "the basics":

Dior Diorskin Nude Hydrating Concealer £22.00

I had a sample of this Dior's BB cream and I loved it, so it's on my shopping list!

It is an amazing product, not heavy, not greasy,  good coverage, nice scent.

Diorskin Nude BB Cream £30.00

CHANEL, POUDRE UNIVERSELLE LIBRE Loose Powder £36.00

CHANEL, JOUES CONTRASTE Powder Blush £31.00

CHANEL BEAUTÉ DES CILS Nourishing Mascara Base, £25.00

CHANEL, SUBLIME DE CHANEL Waterproof Length Curl Mascara £25.00

CHANEL, ROUGE COCO BAUME Hydrating Conditioning Lip Balm £25.00

I've also had a sample of this lipstick no.09 and I love it! So yeah, it's on my shopping list too!

I tried one more lipstick from an other company but I didn't like it. YSL lipstick it's smoothy, and even if it wears off easily, you  can put a lip gloss on top and it seals it! I really love it!

Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture £25.00 

Yves Saint Laurent Gloss Volupte Lip Gloss £21.00

And this is the last product I need to buy, an eyeliner. I don't know if you consider Max factor as a "drugstore" brand or "high-end", but due to my lack of experience I didn't want to buy something expensive. Therefore I decided to try this Max Factor's liquid eyeliner, which I read good reviews....

Max Factor Masterpiece Glide & Define Liquid Eye Liner £6.99

As I said before, my partner didn't know what to buy me for my b-day, so he asked me to do a list with what I want. I want an iPad tbh, but I'm not going to be a proper lady with an iPad only!
So I did my list (as you can see above), also on my list was an eyelash curler, which I bought last week...

Here it is!

It is the first time I tried an eyelash curler and this Ted Baker baby does what it says,
it's very effective and I really like it.... Also, i really like the package/box... :)

Oh, yes I forgot to mention that I bought some brushes from ebay! I read good reviews from make up experts and I decided to try them! I'll show you a photo when they will arrive!
