Maybelline Baby Lips: Winter Delight review

If you have read my blog before you may know that I have a little obsession with Maybelline Baby Lips. Whenever I see a new edition I haven't tried, I can't resist not testing at least one product from it. This time when I was in the makeup store I saw this festive one. The collection has 4 shades: 'Sweet Apple', 'Sugar Cookie', 'Mint Candy' and 'Hot Cocoa'. Each of it associates with Christmas. I decided to pick 'Mint Candy' because other shades look the same as an old edition which I own. Though I haven't tried this one out.
The package basically looks like other Baby Lips except it has some winter essentials like mittens and ear muffs on it. I think it looks kind of cute and festive.
Baby Lips lip balm is essential for winter. It hydrates your lips, makes them smooth and soft. The formula of a lip balm is light so it feels nice on the lips. What I love about it is that it is not a regular lip balm. It actually has a color. This shade has a mild pink tone. The lip balm also has an amazing mint scent, though it doesn't have a cooling effect like Baby Lips Dr. Rescue edition. So if you are not a fan of menthol ingredient, I recommend you to choose this lip balm. 
These lip balms will surely heal your lips and you will get rid off cracked lips. Though you have to use it in moderation because your lips can become resistant and Baby Lips won't work.
If you are not a lipstick person, this product is ideal for you. Don't miss out on this limited edition!
Let me know which ones have you tried and which are your  favorite ones.

Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Review

When I was in Greece I picked up these two little babies. I thought that it's time to get ready for fall and winter. And these are lifesavers during chilly seasons. Basically if you don't know what Baby Lips are I can say that they are by far the best lip balms with colour. They also are known as great moisturizers. I've tried regular Baby Lips, but I've never tried this edition. I love that the packaging of the product it looks so simple and minimalistic but very cute. 

In the market there are 6 shades of this product. I picked up two shades called: TOO COOL and PINK ME UP. The first one is clear it doesn't have any colour, but the second one is in this baby pink colour which looks gorgeous on the lips! You can choose whatever colour is suitable for you. Also Baby Lips colours are not too bright they are perfect for everyday use. If you are a person who doesn't like bright lipsticks this product is definitely for you.

What I love the most about these lip balms is that they contains menthol which gives this cooling effect and feels amazing on the lips. This ingredient also cures lips, makes them smooth and moisturized. They also have this yummy eucalyptus scent which reminds me of winter. 

I can say that this formula is better for me than the regular one. I guess it is because I am a fan of menthol. So if you like menthol and eucalyptus as mush as me, this product will make you happy for sure!

Maybelline promises you that: 

In 1 day, lips look more smooth.

In 1 week, lips are renewed

In 1 minute, lips feel soothed.

L'Oréal False Lash Superstar Mascara Review

I have never tried mascara like this before. It is a double-ended tube with two brushes which help you to create false eye lashes look. It actually makes them super long and lengthens. Mascara contains 5ml of product and it is in a shade noir/black.At first I thought that on side is for top lashes ant the other is for bottom ones. But it turns out that the the end marked as number 1 is a first layer for lashes. It gives them a maximum volume. What surprised me that the colour of the product is white. The second layer 2 is a black mascara with a curved brush. This one gives length. You simply need to apply it to your lashes to cover white layer. It also gives this push - up effect. Although mascara is not waterproof after all day it doesn't leave black circles under eyes. Wearing it on a hot day also won't cause you any problems because it doesn't run down. Mascara doesn't leave any clumps and feels light on the eyes. 
Have you tried this mascara?

How to: My first henna tattoo

Hello lovely readers! Quite a long time I wished for a henna tattoo. Every time I go through We Heart It or Pinterest and find these gorgeous designs I just can't stop admiring them. They look incredibly cool especially for summer! I always wanted to make it myself one day. 

So I had this opportunity to try it for a first time. I used 100% natural henna made of plants which is the best henna if you don't want to harm your skin. However it gives you this brown colour. Black henna looks better but it contains chemicals which are not very healthy. I had this already prepared mixture so all I needed to do is to find a nice and easy pattern for my first try. Of course Pinterest was here to help and I found a cute design. Basically all you need to do is to squeeze henna from the tube and follow the pattern. Also be aware that henna quickly soaks into the skin, so if you made a mistake you need to undo it as fast as you can. After you are done you can wait until dye starts to crumble itself. If you don't have a lot of time just wait one hour when it is completely dry and scratch it off yourself. The next day your tattoo will look even brighter. Now I am pretty happy how it turned out for me.  If you have enough fantasy you can even try to improvise and create your own pattern. 

I already look forward after doing another one of these. Hope you got inspired and ready to try it yourself.

Maybe you are also a fan of henna? Tell me about your experience.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara Review

Hello lovely readers! Finally I have time. I feel free to blog and do anything. This is because my spring break has already started. A week ago I bought this new mascara by Maybelline. Everyone seemed to like it so I decided to try it myself. 

If you didn't know I have poor eye lashes. They are short and thin. I sometimes struggle with them. It's hard to find right mascara to make my eye lashes look better. When I am without mascara I look like I don't have lashes. It is just so frustrating at times. I need mascara which makes my eye lashes pop.

This mascara is perfect for people who struggle with short lashes. This curved brush with short and long bristles make eye lashes look fuller and longer. It gives lots of volume and length. Also you can forget about clumps! 

What I love the most about this mascara is that after a long day or a rainy day you don't have black circles under your eyes. But it is also easy to remove it. You don't have to rub your eyes to wash it off.

I love the fact that with this brush I can reach any eye lash I want. It is so easy to apply it. 

However if you apply more coats, nothing changes. It doesn't make them longer, only they stick together which is a bad thing.

I Highly recommend this mascara because it's budget friendly in great quality. 

Have you ever tried this mascara? What is your opinion about it?

W7 'In The Buff' eye colour palette

Hello lovelies! Sorry for not being active these past few weeks. I wanted to blog so badly, but I just couldn't find the right time. So recently I bought this so called Naked palette dupe. Sadly, I haven't tried Naked one, because it is too expensive for me. I am not in a place to compare them, but I think that this one is a great replacement. There are 4 types of palettes. I took natural nudes 'IN THE BUFF'. I thought I could use it for everyday natural look when I go to school and bright colours are not appropriate. Although, eye shadow palette has few dark colours so you can easily make a smoky and bright eye look. 

Basically an eye shadow  palette contains of 12 nude colours. 9 of them are glittery and only 3 matte. It's a bit disappointing because most of the time I like to use matte colours. However, I fell in love with these shiny ones. My favourite colour from the whole palette is the 4 th in the shade called 'Dust'. It's a brown - gold  colour with glitter.

Inside the palette besides eye shadows there is a double - ended brush.  But the brush is kind of crappy. I use my one instead.

Packaging of a palette looks simple, but nice. I like that the box is made of metal, though it is not very handy to carry around in your purse.

W7 palette is in a pretty great quality and on a bargain. If your budget doesn't allow you to but Naked, you should definitely get this one. You won't be disappointed at all.

Have you ever tried this palette? Maybe you prefer Naked palette?

Lancôme Hypnose Mascara review

Hello lovely readers! A few days ago my mum gave this mascara to me so I could give it a try. I think it was included in her Lancôme gift set, but she gave it away to me. I never used a mascara on a pricier side, but now I definitely see the difference. I absolutely loved it after the first try.

Don't be surprised it's not an actual mascara - it's a mini version of it. It contains 2ml of a product. This mascara is in a shade called 'Noir hypnotic'. I think it's the blackest one in this line. What I love about this mascara is that it gives this natural, but long and intense look to my eye lashes. Even with one coat of this product you can get an awesome volume and length. When you apply more coats eye lashes look stunning! The brush looks simple, but it's actually pretty great. No clumping at all.

After a long day my eyes still look nice. It doesn't leave dark circles under my eyes, except when I rub them. When you cry you don't get black rivers running down on your cheeks. Tested this myself.

This mascara doesn't feel heavy and it somehow makes my eye lashes soft. Product's formula contains vitamin B5 and Jojoba oil. I think these two are the most important ingredients from the whole formula. Both of them have a lot of benefits. Jojoba oil is used to create a smooth, non-clumping formula. Vitamin B5 nourishes and lengthens eye lashes.

Also you won't have problems with removing this mascara. You can simply wash your face with cleanser.

I highly recommend this Lancôme product if you are looking for a great quality mascara and your budget allows you to buy it. 

Have you tried this mascara? What mascara you currently use?

Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub review

Hello lovelies! Please don't judge me that I just recently tried this lip scrub by Lush. I know that this product was released on the market about 4 years ago. I heard many great reviews about it and when I came by the store, I thought why not to try this one out. 

There were three scrubs: Minty, Bubblegum and Popcorn. At first I just could't decide which one to pick. All of them looked nice. I sniffed and sniffed each of them. At the end I couldn't smell Minty one and Popcorn smelled better than Bubblegum. So I took Popcorn scrub. 

In my opinion they are a bit overpriced. I paid 7.53 euros for some oils, sugar and salt. You can easily make this yourself. I bought it, because I wanted to see what's so special about this product and my dry chapped lips needed to be taken care of. Although it's expensive, it's a great product if you are too lazy to make it yourself. Especially when it's winter time and lips often become dry. 

Popcorn lip scrub literally smells like fresh caramel popcorn. I love this scent just the way I like popcorns. Lip scrub is a natural handmade product with 7 fresh ingredients: Castor Sugar, Jojoba Oil, Sea Salt, Polenta, Coconut Oil, Popping Candy, Flavour. Scrub's taste is sweet and salty in one! I apply it to my lips, rub them together and lick everything off. Lips feel soft and smooth. They also look better and it's a great way to prepare your lips before using lipstick or any other lip product.

Garnier NEO deodorant review

Hello lovelies! I've been using this deodorant for a few months now. I find it perfect for me.

Though it's really hard to pick a good and suitable deodorant. There are so many of them in marketing. But most of them are harmful and not effective. Still it's possible to find the right one. 

When I bought this Garnier NEO deodorant I thought that it's not harmful at all, but later I found out that it has aluminum. However, it's alcohol free. 

This deodorant is actually a cream which moisturizes armpits and leaves them soft. Deodorant doesn't irritate armpits. You can use it after shaving. Also it doesn't leave marks.

The package is very handy. You can easily carry it in your purse. Easy to use: gently squeeze the tube and cream will come out through these holes on glider applicator. Apply the product to your armpits. Do not apply too much!

There are five scents of this deodorant (Fruity Flower, Fresh Blossom, Shower Clean, Soft Cotton and Fragrance free). I've tried only two of them: Fruity Flower and Fresh Blossom. I definitely want to try others.

I highly recommend this deodorant. It can surely solve your problems. I promise that you won't be disappointed if you try it.

I Love... Raspberry&Blackberry body butter review

Hello lovely readers! How are your bellies? Mine is so full! Every holiday my mum prepares so many delicious meals and I can't resist not eating them. Oh well, less about food, more about a product.

I got this amazing I Love... body butter, so I wanted to share my review about it.All I Love... cosmetics have incredible scents. If I could I would literally eat it. They have all these different body care products in various flavours. These products are budget-friendly in great quality.My body butter flavour is Raspberry&Blackberry. This scent is so fruity. When you apply it to your skin it feels and smells like yogurt. Body butter nourishes and moisturises skin and leaves it soft.

It  contains:

• Coconut oil. Helps your skin stay hydrated and soft

• Shea butter. Gives your skin vitamins E and D, phytosterols, provitamin A and allantoin.

I assure, that you won't be disappointed if you try this product. Its smell will charm you.

Bourjois 123 PERFECT CC cream

Hello lovely readers! Lately I've been using this CC cream by Bourjois. This foundation is way better than BB cream. It's perfect for everyday using if you don't like foundations which feel heavy on your skin. I prefer light-textured foundations as BB and CC cream.  

This CC cream has three basic features(that's why it's called '123 PERFECT) :

• It covers red blemishes and other redness on your face
• It reduces fatigue
• It hides dark spots 

What is more that this product doesn't dry out your skin. When you apply this foundation it feels smooth and nice. Also it has SPF 15. After a long day you still look and feel pretty good.

Bourjois Intense smoky eye shadow palette

Hello lovely readers! I recently bought some new make up products. One of them is this fabulous eye shadow palette by Bourjois. Basically this palette has 2 eyeshadows and 1 liner. You can create an amazing ombre look or intense smoky eye effect. Also you can use every colour separately. 

Liner is in a colour dark brown. You can create a nice winged line with it. Great choice if you are too lazy to use normal eye liner. The first eye shadow is in a colour burgundy brown and the second one is in a pretty rose gold colour. Both eye shadows has glitter. When you apply just the light eye shadow to your eyelid it looks simple, but gorgeous. I thought it would be a nice look for Christmas time.

To create intense smoky look:

1.Apply the rose gold colour on the entire eyelid to illuminate.

2.Intensify with the burgundy brown colour applied to the outer corner of the eye.

3.Use the eye liner to outline the eye contour. 

Inside the palette besides liner and eye shadows there is this tiny double-ended and easy to use brush. On one end it has liner brush and on the other - foam brush.

If you are interested the whole palette is in a shade 61 Rose twiste.

The Body Shop mini body milk and shower gel

The Body Shop body care products are by far my favourite ones. Every thing in this store has special features. 

What I love about these two products is their amazing coconut scent. You can literally melt from that smell. By the way coconut is my favourite nut. I guess that's why I like this smell. 

You can also use this body milk as a hand cream. It hydrates normal to dry skin and leaves it soft and smooth. Also this mini travel package is comfortable to carry around in your purse.

Basically shower gel has similar features as body milk.

Have you ever tried these products?

Pineapple Mask

Hello! Last week I bought this facial mask for a good price. I think it was about 2 €. I saw it in brochure and I guess what attracted me is that this product is with pineapples. To be honest I have an obsession with this fruit. At first I thought it's too cheap to be good, but I took the risk and bought it. Now I'm pretty happy with it.

This enzyme - activated moisturising mask revitalizes radiant skin. Pineapple extract and exfoliating AHAs clear away dulling skin cells. Renews and refreshes skin. This product is perfect for every skin type.

How to use it: Apply face mask to face and neck and leave for 5-10 minutes. After that, rinse with warm water. You can use this mask two times a week, but if you prefer you can use it often. It doesn't irritate and leave your skin dry.

I like this product because of it's light texture, nice features and amazing scent.

Nail care

Hello lovely readers. I wanted to share with you about my nail care. I don't spend a lot of time taking care of my nails. When I go to school I don't use bright colours. But still I want my nails to look nice. I usually paint my nails with base coat nail polish or some kind of nail stronger. Recently I found this nice nail polish with gel effect. It's not a gel polish, but it gives that look. I don't recommend doing real gel nails. That special nail polish can really damage your nails.  

My favourite nail stronger is "Nail Nurse" by Rimmel. Perfect choice if you want to recover your damaged nails. It strengthens and protects nails. Also gives natural pink colour. Painted nails dry very quickly. 

My second favourite stronger is by Nail System. It is also a great nail product. But this one doesn't have a colour. So I like "Nail Nurse" better.

Top coat nail polish by IBI is on a pricey side, but quality pays off. It gives this shiny look and dries basically the moment you paint your nails.

Have you tried these products? What do you think?

L'Oréal Elvital dry oil hair treatment

I've been using this L'Oreal product for a year now. I am not a person with flawless hair. I have weak and very thin hair. Also the end of my hair is pretty damaged. If wasn't this product my hair would've been a disaster. 

This dry oil has a very light texture. It gives your hair a nice shiny look. Hair looks prettier and healthier. This hair treatment makes your hair soft and lovely.

Basically you wash your hair with the shampoo you use and then spray a little bit of this dry oil on your wet hair. But it's also possible to use it on dry hair. It's just then you need to dry your hair with a hair dryer, because you don't want your hair to look oily!

I like the package of this hair product. Spray bottle is very easy to use.

Have you ever tried this product? What do you think about it?

Also, for those who suffer from hair loss or coarse hair there are oil treatments. And the fascinating thing is that you can make them your self! Read the article if you are interested in the natural hair repairing:

Rimmel lipstick by Kate Moss review

 A lot of people are in love with these Rimmel lipsticks, but mainly with red colours. I decided to try this lip product in a different colour. I took this nice peachy colour in shade 32. Amazing colour for those who don't like bright lip colours. I love that this lipstick can stay for a long time. You can eat and basically do anything. Also feels smooth on my lips. Good quality lipstick in great price. I highly recommend to try it. Tell me about it if you do.

Maybelline Baby Lips review

Basically it's a lip balm with a light colour. It protects and moisturizes your lips perfectly. Also this lip balm has an amazing smell. It literally smells like heaven... If you don't like bright lipsticks and lip glosses like me Baby Lips are exactly for you. It's a great lip product for every time of the year. It gives your lips a fun colour and a healthy natural look.

Baby Lips in a pink package is in a shade called "PINK PUNCH". It gives this baby pink colour to your lips. This smell is sweet and fruity. If you're a fan of pink lips you should definitely get it.

Baby Lips in a purple package is in a shade "PEACH KISS". This one is by far my favourite. It gives this nude, a little bit glossy lip look. This scent is fruity and tropical.

And the last one in an orange package is in a shade "CHERRY ME". It gives this pretty red lip colour. And this scent is the best one, because it smells like cherries!!!      

In Holland and Austria they cost 3.49 €

I highly recommend this product, because it's a great choice for everyday using.
