I'm back! + What I got for Christmas!

Hello everyone!
I have to apologize for the lack of posts but I really didn't know how to deal with all the things I had to do. I'm really sorry if this disappointed you all!

Anyway, hopefully I will be more present: I have a lot of things to tell you! MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope you had an amazing time with your family and friends! I've done some last minute Christmas shopping and got some presents!
This morning, I opened my presents! I was really happy because my parents gave me some money in advance so that I could buy the thins I wanted on my own, and well I did!
I decided to get some make up bits! I went to Sephora and (bam!) I took the Benefit They're real mascara! I'm so excited! This is the best mascara I've ever tried so far! It gives everything you expect from a mascara. I will certainly do a proper review all about that.
Then, I got an angled brush to apply gel eyeliner because the bristles of the other one I had fall out. Finally, I went to Lush and I only picked up one thing from their Christmas range: I didn't need anything in particular and didn't want to waste money, so I got the corn based facial cleanser "Let the good times Roll": its smell!!!! (review coming reeeeally soon - I adore it, I think I'll buy another jar :P)

 

 

I also did an order from the New Look website a few weeks ago: I got three bits: 2 simple dresses and and a plain black skirt. I'm so excited for that: everything suits me! Yep!

(I have to put these plain website pictures because it's dark here now and I can't have a proper lighting :( )

I really hope you enjoyed my post! I know it could be a bit boring but it's the best I can do today! 

Tell me what YOU got for Christmas!

June to August Favourites!

Hello girls!
This is my first monthly favourites kind of post and I'm having so much fun that I will start doing it regularly!
This is a bit different from the upcoming others because it's a Summer favourites post!
Ok, so now let's get started!

As for make up, recently I've been loving my Naked palette, which came with me during my holidays. This is a multi purpose product for me because I also used the lightest shade as highlighter. It's handy, compact and you can create tonnes of different looks.
Another product I'm obsessed with is my Benefit Creaseless cream eyeshadow in Birthday Suit (full review here): I applied it as a primer and the eyeshadow lasts longer. It's a lovely, taupe-y shade, great for every look.

Lately, I re-discovered my lipsticks and since it was summer I tried my best to use them. My favourites were:
Max factor n°825 Pink brandy, which is a lovely coral. Extremely creamy, moisturizing, and a fabolous colour. Oh, it lasts something like 3-4 hours, then I re-apply it.

The second lipstick is from Kiko (Italian Brand which sells in different countries in Europe) Velvet Mat n° 613, a dark pink with a lot of purple in it. I used it basically every day, when I didn't want to wear too much make up: just this and nothing but mascara on my eyes and I was alright. I think I will keep on using this also in the winter.

 Left: Kiko - 613 Right: Max Factor - 825

As for haircare, Im really into it lately. During summer, my hair were really dry and it wasn't easy to style them.  But something happend: I discovered the John Frieda Frizz Ease Anti crinkling Serum - heat protection formula. I got it at Sephora quite a while ago. You should apply it both to wet hair before drying and to dry hair to smooth and protect them.  This made my hair feel a lot smoother and easier to style. The bad thing about this serum is the ingredient list: it has some silicons, so once I finish this up I won't repurchase it and try different products. What would you suggest? Tell me!

And then, Skincare! In one of my most recent posts (here) I told you that I had bought the Bioderma Solution Micellaire: this is my current make up remover: gentle, fresh, light. This doesn't cause me breakouts or anything like that, great product!

Another product I absolutely love is my Lush toner: Tea tree water. Since I have combination skin this is perfect for me! This is my third bottle and I'm finishing it up! A bottle will last you for three months, it's a never ending toner! Ahahahahah Seriously, it's fantastic, it contains tea tree, grapefruit and juniper. It's light  and refreshing but it doesn't leave your skin dry at all.

 So these were my Summer favourites! They're not many but I really enjoyed using them!

What were your favourites this month? 

Do you have any requests?

Tell me in the comments! :)

I hope you enjoyed this post! 

Love,

Benefit Creaseless cream eyeshadow review!

Hi everyone! I hope you are having an amazing summer :)
Today's post is dedicated to one my new favourite products: Benefit has released a new range of cream eyeshadows which have become bestsellers everywhere. They are called Creaseless cream eyeshadow/liner.

I purchased the shade Birthday Suit a few weeks ago. Since I got it, I have been constantly wearing it with any kind of colours to try it and be able to tell you what I think.

 

It's a strange colour: there is taupe, pink and a little bit of brown. This mix creates a unique shade which matches basically with everything. There are some golden shimmers in it which brighten up the eye area and make you look more awake.

The texture is so smooth ad soft: this makes it so easy to apply and blendable. I apply this eyeshadow with my ring finger, no brushes.

 This is the result with an artificial lighting.

 This is the result with a natural lighting.

This shade lasts on me 6-7 hours without any primer underneath. It's awesome because most of my eyeshadows tend to crease very easily.

I use it both as a base and as an eyeshadow. It intensifies every colour.

Price: 19.50 euros (19$) (14£ from Boots)

Anyway: great product, indeed. Definitely recommended!

PS I've also tried the Urban Decay Primer Potion and both of them do the same job. The only difference between these two products is that the Benefit one comes also in a range of darker colours.

 I hope it's useful for all of you!

What do you think of them? Have you already try them?

Love,

Margaret
