Cleansing Products that I love

As I mentioned in older posts, my skin is very sensitive and gets flaky with red dots in the winter. Having such a -difficult to cope with- it has always been hard for me to find products for my face, moisturizers, foundation, cleansers etc.

I tested a few products, most of them usually made my skin itchy or burning but I found 2 products that work for my skin. One is on the expensive and the other one is on the cheaper side.

Biotherm's "Biosource Biosensitive" Dermo-soothing cleanser

Very smooth, very gentle, fragrance free. It has a think consistency and makes a nice foam. Leaves the skin with a "clean" feeling and it doesn't give me any itchiness or the feeling that my skin has dried. Awesome, product - along with most of the products from this particular line - but it's around 25+ euro. The good thing is that it's quite large so it lasts long other than that it's very nice for sensitive skins.

Avon's "Clearskin Blemish Clearing" Foaming Cleanser
Slightly fragranced but not annooying - at least for me. I have to say about the same things as for the biotherm. This one does not have a thick consistency thought, it's more liquid-ish and a lot of times I pour way more than needed so I always waste more product that necessary. But the good thing is that it's much more expensive - around 5 euro but it does not last as long as the biotherm.

I really can't choose between them, I use both of them and I love them both. It really depends on your pocket, even though in my opinion it doesn't really matter as one product is cheaper but lasts less whereas the other one is more expensive but lasts longer so it's kind of the same thing.

Always take care of yourselves! :*

Avon Eyeshadow Quad - Mocha Latte

You know, you know, another Avon product review. I promise once I am done with my university exams I will do more reviews about other products as well and some tutorials :).
Ok so as the title says, today I am going to tell you my opinion about the Avon eyeshadow quad in "Mocha Latte". 

Now, i have tons and tons of eyeshadows but I always buy bright colors, pinks, shimmers etc so I was looking for something more neutral for everyday looks for the uni etc. So i thought this quad will be ideal.
And yes, the colors are super pretty, very nice, neutral, perfect for everyday looks. We have a shimmery white-pink color a shimmery gold/champagne, a matte brownish beige and a matte brown.

All of them are quite blendable, they are not the most pigmented eyeshadows in the world but are fine. You will probably need a primer to make the shimmery colors to show. What bugged me is that the matte eyeshadows are very dusty, you have to be very careful when you get product with your brush because it just brakes too much of the product and creates eyeshadow dust which means extra product waste :/. Plus you have to be carefull with that because if you don't tap the excess off, all that dust will fall out on your face, so there is a minus right there. This is the only eyeshadow quad I have tried so far from Avon and my opinion is pozitive about it. I will let you know if I try others in the future.

Here are some pictures of the product............




- Are you satisfied by the product?
- I would say yes.

- Will you repurchase it?
- Probably.

- Would you recommend it to others?
- Sure.

That's all for now, always take care and love yourselves! :*
