My foundation shades

So I thought of making a post with the foundations that I've used so far so that I can have them concentrated in one place as a reference when I review a foundation and maybe help someone that has the same foundation shade with me to know aroung which other foundations (shade-wise) would suit their skin tone. Now this doesn't mean that if 2 people wear the same shade of a specific foundation they wear the same shades for EVERY foundation but it might be helpful for foundations that come in very little shades and have a difference from a shade to the other.

The truth is I haven't tried a whole lot of foundations in my 28 years since I didn't battle with a lot of visible problems so I didn't have the need to try a lot. But I will be trying more foundations and probably make updates of this post once in a while. I will mention any foundations, bb creams or powders that suit my skin and the season that they match my skin.

BB Creams:

Garnier Skin Naturals, Miracle Skin Perfector in Light/Medium (in the summer)

Foundations:

Avon Calming Effects - Ivory (winter)

Catrice BB allround foundation - 002 Rosy Beige (winter)

Catrice BB allround foundation - 003 Nude Beige (summer)

Rimmel Match Perfection - 100 Ivory (winter)

MAC Face and Body Foundation - N2

p2 Illuminating Touch Makeup - 25 Touch of Nude

p2 Feel Natural (01 in winter, 02 when slightly tanned or mix of 01-02, mix of 02+03 summer)

Seventeen (Greek Company) Time Plus - 02

Powders/ Powder Foundations:

Avon Color Trend Powder - Translucent

MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation - NC25 (all seasons)

Seventeen Natural Silky Compact Powder - 08 Beige (summer) 

Goo Hoarding Vol.2!!! Cleaning my makeup stash!

Ho y'aaaaall. How are ya? :D This is a similar post with the one I did in October. I'm tossing away makeup products that are too old and started to look/smell/feel funny or in this particular post, stuff that I couldn't use anymore cause I didn't like them.

2 lip glosses from Avon. The white pink one on the left is Avon's Color Trend in the shade "Angel". You can tell that it's super old because I still have the one in the old packaging :P. The wine red on the right is Avon's Shine Supreme in the shade "Glossy Rose".

Both of them were starting changing color and smelling weird which is totally normal since I have them for a few years and lip gloss is totally prone to bacteria if you use it directly from the wand. The good thing is that at a point I started using my glosses by putting some on my (clean) hands and apply it with the brush so I don't transfer bacteria from my mouth so the rest of my glosses are gonna last much more.

2 mascaras. The upper one is Farmasi's Catwalk Illusion mascara in green color. This mascara was straight up NASTY! It was dry, poor and gross. I have it from the summer but I haven't used it in so long that I even forgot I had it so besides the fact that I had it for a few months I didn't even like it soo... to the trush!

The lower one is Avon's ColorTrend Bright Lash Tips in the color "Vibrand Violet". I forgot I had this too since it's so old but I only used it like twice because it dried out the lashes so much and they felt gross, not to mention it gave no color whatsoever to the lashes. 

Garnier's BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector

When I first used this I sort of liked it - I even made a positive review about it - but I don't know what happened suddenly it felt bad and like my skin was so heavy from it. I believe some ingredient in it oxidized or something. Also the color changed so that couldn't be a good sign so I am tossing it. I will not repurchase it since I don't like it.

Avon's Ideal Flawless Cream to Powder Foundation

I didn't like this CRAP at all!!!! I made a review about it. This foundation is horrible, it blends badly, it makes the skin look old and disgusting. Even so, I gave it a chance. I used it a lot in the summer when I was on vacation since I was wearing makeup only in the night for a few hours so I didn't really care to look super flawless so it didn't bother me. I also used it very lightly because this crap made me feel like I had a mask on :P Anyways, I have it a few months now, I could keep it to use the rest the next summer but I really hated this product and I used a fair amount of it, as you can see in the photo I hit the pan big time so I can't say that I am throwing away a full product. I will of course NOT repurchase this again, EVER! Lol

Don't forget to clean your makeup stash every once in a while (like twice a year or so) to get rid of products that are too old or that have gone bad because you risk getting bacteria on your face and that can only lead to dirty skin = break outs even infections (especially the eye products). So take care my friends and also take care of your makeup ;)

See you at my next post

Avon SuperFULL Mascara Review

Hello everyone! I hope you are having an entertaining weekend, me not so much I had a very hard exam at the Uni today and it didn't go very well :P

This will be a review about Avon's SuperFULL mascara. Now I got this a long time ago as a set with a lipgloss - I think - for quite cheap but I never opened it till December, I had read positive reviews about it so I said well okay let's try it.

photosource

This is what it looks like. A classic plastic tube with a very thin and plastic wand.

To the review:

First of all the wand is AWFUL! It's hard and scratchy and it's completely annoying to apply.

The mascara itself is really not great at all, it's not even nice as a generic mascara. It doesn't do anything to my lashes on the contrary it makes my lashes look really horrible and short (and I have very long lashes in reality). So pretty much ZERO effect on the lashes - if not negative. No length, no volume, NOTHING.

Another disadvantage is that it makes the lashes stick with each other to the point that I get annoyed and I have to try to separate my lower from my upper lashes with my hand all the time. And the paradox is that even though it makes the lashes so gross and sticky it dries them out really badly to the point that mine look more sparse and poorer than how they really are.

It's easy to see that my lashes are stuck together and they are clumpy and looking weird. Epic fail mascara!

Furthermore, I haven't been using this mascara for not even 2 months and it's already dried out and clumpy fact that I don't even care for because I am tossing this loser mascara out!

- Are you satisfied by the product?

- NO WAY!

- Do you recommend it?

- Absolutely not!

- Will you repurchase it?

- Heck no!

Final verdict: F-

Purple and Gold makeup look (and video tutorial in Greek!)

Hello everyone! How are you? I hope you are doing great! I finally managed to edit my video. I haven't posted a makeup look for so loooong! The thing is I always want to put up the camera and record but I just don't get around it eventually :P hahaha

This is the look, please excuse the poor photo quality....

Here is the link to the video (it is in greek):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esY-PDROKzY&feature=youtu.be

Products used:

FACE:

Clinique - Dramatically different moisturizing lotion (for Dry skin)

Seventeen - Time Plus foundation 

Toyoko - Small round with flat top foundation brush

Avon - Translucent Tan powder as bronzer

Bourjois - (can't remember name or number) blush

Essence - Powder brush

TheBalm cosmetics - Mary Lou Manizer as highlight

Essence - Blush brush

Avon - Natural Shimmer as an all face bronzer

EYES:

Clinique - All about eyes, cream

I have one more registered (waiting to be edited) and I will try to film a few Xmas ones before I leave for holidays, I just wish I weren't so darn busy for it. The ratio of the video is messed up, I don't know why. Even though I film it in 16:9 the editing program just doesn't accept it and that is so frustrating because I don't look properly in the video and neither does the makeup look (it makes my eyes and the application look like circles lol).

Take care as always!

Loves and kisses.

Faves and Fails of November 2013 and a rant about Sephora in Romania

Helloooooo!!! Boy, I haven't done a favorites of the month in quite a while! How y'all doin? :D Here are the products I liked, disliked or didn't care for, for the month of November.

FAVES:
Skin Care:
Biotherm: Biosource Exfoliating Gel Dry Skin

photosource

My friend Usi sent me a sample of this and I loved it from the first try! It has some very fine particles in it but they don't scratch your face whatsoever! It's so gentle and it lets my sensitive skin clean and fresh. I definitely love it! Thank you Usi!

Makeup
Foundation:
p2: Illuminating Touch makeup

photosource

Another product sent by my friend. In her previous gifts she had sent me a p2 foundation that it was quite nice but it was looking and feeling dry on my totally dried out, dehydrated skin and she was kind enough to send me the more "moisturizing" version and I L-O-V-E it! No, lies i don't love it, I ADORE IT! It applies super easy, has a perfect finish on the skin, looks totally natural and dewy, it doesn't suffocate my skin and it doesn't make dry patches on me. My shade is the number 025 "touch of nude" and when I first saw the bottle I was like "uh oh! this is too dark!" but actually, when applied it's lighter than what it seems in the bottle. 

Gel liner:

Inglot: gel liner, number 77.

By far the best (not only gel but generally) eyeliner I have ever tried. It's super black, it's easy to apply, it's creamy, it doesn't irritate my eyes and it doesn't smudge! Amazing staying power. Inglot has really amazing products.

Eyeshadow:

Maybelline: 24H Color Tattoo number 35 "on and on bronze"

Since I bought this I have been reaching for it very often. Needless to say that it's always my eyeshadow base when I wear gold or bronzed shadows but I can also use it alone with no powder shadow on it. I read on reviews on the internet that after many hours it creases but it didn't go anywhere to me. Maybe because I don't really have oily lids or something. Great product, would love to try other neutral shades of it.

Lipstick:

Maybelline Watershine Lipstick, number 120 "Fuchsia Diamonds"

photosource

This was one of the first lipsticks I have ever bought! From what I know it doesn't exist anymore. I was all about pink and sparkly lip colors when I started buying makeup and this was amazing! I reached for it a lot this month. The color is pretty much how it looks in the picture, it is a light sort of burgundy fuschia glossy/matte color with gold shimmers. Totally appropriate for winter evenings, especially now that Christmas is coming.

Highlighter/Bronzer:

Kryolan: Glamour Glow in the shade "Natural Tan"

I categorized this as a highlighter and a bronzer because it really depends on your skin tone how to use it. To me that I have fair (not pale) peachy tone it applies like a soft natural colored highlighter. But I think for paler skins it wouldn't fit as a highlighter because it has some color to it. Since I have naturally pink/peach cheeks though, on me looks like a natural glow. I LOVE IT! And thank you once again Usi for this :D 

Mascara:

p2 Spectacular Volume Mascara, number 010 "Spectacular Black"

photosource

One MORE item from my friend (I know, she spoils me ah <3 ). I enjoyed it so much! I have long but very thin and sparse lashes and this mascara while applying color to them, it distributes them into a "fan" shape making them look thicker. Loved it! :D I used it almost daily for the previous months.

Body Products:

Bath products:

Avon: Warm Vanilla and Fig Bubble Delight, Bubble bath

photosource

I have no words. Everyone knows that this specific line of Avon's bubble baths is awesome and it has great range of beautiful smells. I wasn't sure because of the fig but this smells like perfection. I loved it so much that I will repurchase it. 

Perfume:

Avon: Kate's World - Pretty Fabulous Purse Spray

photosource

I loved this perfume and it's almost done so I am on the search for a similar smelling perfume maybe with a better staying power than this one. Very affordable. Lovely smell: The luscious smell of apple mingled magnolia blossom and irresistible vanilla sugar. Need I say more? 

A general fail of the month:

Seventeen "Lipstick Special" Lipsticks:

Seventeen is a Greek drugstore company (drugstore in a way of speech because it's quite pricey). Now, don't get me wrong about this, I love seventeen as a company and their lipsticks (besides their price) are lovely but they have that SMELL of the old times ordinary lipstick, you know what I mean? like the dusty, powdery lipstick smell of the vintage lipsticks and it makes me sick to my stomach whenever I use them and that's too bad :( 

Another fail of the month and rant. 

Sephora stores in Romania.

I have a rant about this. I am sick and tired of the sephora stores in Romania. First of all, they don't have all the products sold in Sephora stores in the world, like Urban Decay, Nars etc. Second of all they don't provide samples at ANYTHING. How the hell are we supposed to buy something if we don't test it, especially at those prices. And this is my third subject of my rant. Why Sephora in Romania (and in Greece) is so much more expensive than other Sephoras in the world? I just checked a christmas set of skin care and while it retails for 28 pounds in UK it is being sold more than 40 here. This is truly disturbing. 

That's all for now my dears! I have almost done my makeup look (edited - in Greek) and I will make a post with pictures and the products used in the weekend hopefully :) I will be reviewing most of the products I mentioned in this post.

Take care of yourselves! Much love and kisses!

What's in my (our in this case) shower tag!

Hi y'all! How y'all doing???? :) I am trying to fight out a cold that is around me for like a week now and today I decided to be a little lazy and stay home since it's mildly snowing outside. (Don't judge, haha).

The lovely Vicky  was kind enough to tag me to do this. I LOVE tags. :D 

So this is a simple tag where I will show you what products I use in my shower (and since I live with my boyfriend what he uses too). Y'all ready? Let's go see 'em!

1 - Avon: Warm Vanilla & Fig, Bubble Bath. 

I adooooooooooooore sweet fruit smells and vanilla! This smells sooooooooooooo good. Avon has shower gels and bubble baths that smell heavenly!!!!

2 - I should have skipped this one from the picture I guess :P This is actually a feminine wash for the intimate area that I poured into an empty body lotion bottle because I like the pump (the pump from the original box of the product broke). Can't remember the brand thought :( I mean it's Avon for sure but I can't remember which one from them. It's an okay product nothing too exciting.

3 - Another Avon product, this is from the line Naturals and it's the Lily & Gardenia shower gel (I had shown this in an Avon haul that I did around the summer or spring, I think. I am not that crazy about flower smells but this one smells so good. :)

4 - I am dealing with a LOT of stress and that always affects with one way or another my health. This period I noticed a hair fallout - not something extremely dramatic - I DO believe it is from the time I used that awful blonde hair dye to lighten my roots and that store in Athens (Dafnis) is lucky I am far or I would have gone and make a huge scandal for the hideous product they sold to me. The sales lady in the store in Pireaus is NO WHERE CLOSE to experienced. I will always be furious to them for what this awful product they sold did to me. Anyway, I got out of topic and sorry about that but I am sure you would understand if you were in my position. To prevent and control this hair fallout that I have I decided to use once in a while an Anti-Hair Loss shampoo and this is from a really nice Romanian company called, Gerovital Plant.

5 - Gillette Sensitive Skin Shaving Foam: This is obviously my boyfriend's :P but I use it too on my legs sometimes when I am too lazy or sensitive to use my depilatory device. It's quite nice :)

 6 - Diplona's Conditioner for Nutrition and 7 - Diplona's Shampoo for Repair. I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Diplona hair products so much! I discovered them when I came to Romania, they only came to Greece like a couple of years now I think (for my Greek readers, you can find them at Hondos Center stores). My all time favorite conditioner is the repair one but this one works wonderfully as well I just sometimes change them to not get bored of the smell because as you can see they are huge and even to me that I use A LOT of conditioner, it lasts very long so at a point I can get bored with the smell. But I love this brand and I always go back to it. I think it's a German brand by the way. OH and the conditioner is stained pink from my hair, it looks messy but I am not the person that will play the perfect girl sorry :P Sometimes my shampoo bottles get stained when I was my hair when it's freshly dyed. :) 

8 - Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff conditioner with almond oil. I don't really have dandruff but as you probably know if you read my blog for sometime (or if you read the at the previous products) I have bright colored hair and I don't like to use shampoo more than once a week. As gross as it sounds it's actually really good for your hair and also for the color, if you dye it. My hair doesn't get greasy and gross but I still don't want to wash my hair only once a week so once or twice a week I will CO-WASH my hair. CO-WASHING is basically washing your hair with a conditioner and it's a great method for girls with curly hair because it makes your hair less freezy and more controllable. Now, since normal conditioners are made to condition (duh!) your hair they will not provide any sort of "cleaning" to you. But this conditioner is made to be used on your roots to help you clean the dandruff so it is a sort of cleaning conditioner so until I find a better product for the job I use this. So I was once a week with shampoo and my normal Diplona conditioner and once or twice only with this one. It has a fun smell to it, it almost reminds me of melon!

9 - Wash & Go for Men: obviously my boyfriend's shampoo. He just uses different men shampoo like this or Head & Shoulders or Nivea or whatever he will grab from the shelf basically (haha). 

I have some other products too that I don't have them laying around on my shower because I use them rarely or not for my shower and I keep them in the bathroom cupboard such as baby shampoo for cleaning my brushes, some face cleansers and masks etc. 

A classic shower where there is a billion girl products and literally 2-3 (i didn't post his dove bar soap hahaha) men products :P What can I say, girls are girls! 

I tag everyone that wants to do this and please tag me when you do tags I LOOOOOVE doing them!!!

Take care!

P.S: I have filmed a makeup look like a week ago but I hadn't have the time to edit it! It will be on my Greek and the English speaking channel but it will be dubbed on top for the English one :D It will take me a while but I will post it and I'll also make a post here with the list of the products I used :) 

Avon's Ultra Color Lipsticks (NEW FORMULA) swatches and mini review!

It's amazing how much Avon's products changed over the years. Some of their products are REALLY awesome! One of them is their lipsticks. I LOVE Avon lipsticks. They are rich, creamy, not drying on the lips, they smell good and they are affordable.

So, Avon has a lipstick line called "Ultra Color". Lately they changed the packaging and formula (i guess) and also the color palette. Since I had a nice big price reduction (as a representative), I ordered a few because... well, just like that :P  I got 6 colors and here they are:

They come in a square plastic tube with the known metallic part that writes Avon on it. As usual, the name is stated at the bottom of the tube. I got the colors Carnation, Pout, Latte, Hot Pink, Red 2000 and Sparkling Nude. I'll show you separately swatches on my lips (btw at some of the photos my mouth is red because of the constant rubbing to take the colors off while doing the swatches. I tried so many times that my lips got numb at a point- haha). So let me show you:

CARNATION

Carnation is a creamy nude pink that it's almost the exact color of my natural lip color. It's very pretty and it has a lovely texture. Perfect for an everyday lip color, it's one of those colors that would look good pretty much on every one.

POUT

Pout (or Pout Cream) is the perfect nude with a teeny tiny hint of pink and it's my absolutely favorite color from the whole collection (and I will let you know why in another post soon, hihi). Carnation and Pout are just a tiny bit similar but Pout is less pink and it has a glossy finish whereas Carnation has a cream one.

LATTE

Latte is clearly a beige nude color with no hints whatsoever of pink or peach or anything like that. Another color that looks good on every skin color and tone. It has a cream finish to it and I forgot to mention that all 2, carnation, pout and latte don't have sparkles/shimmer/glitter in them.

HOT PINK

Hot pink is a medium bright fuchsia, again, no shimmer or glitter. It has more of a matte/creamy finish. It is a more bold lip color, not everyone's cup of tea but I really like it.

RED 2000

First of all, excuse the sloppy application, anyway I just applied it to show you the color. Red 2000 is a neutral (i know it shows pinky on the photo with the flash but it's a true neutral red). It's pretty for an elegant everyday look or a more glamorous appearance. It has a matte/creamy finish. One more color that I think it looks good on everyone.

SPARKLING NUDE

The only one from the colors I picked that - as the name states- is glittery and sparkly. It's a nude color, on the beige side and it has fine silvery sparkles. Naturally, being a sparkly color, it is a bit more sheer.

Overall I like A LOT these lipsticks. Even though they are very affordable they are not cheap (if you know what I mean). They apply really well and they are not drying. The specific line - Ultra Color - has a very big range of colors (my only complain is that that they have the most wearable shades of pink, coral, nudes, reds, oranges etc but not some more special shades like shades of purple etc.) Other than that I love them and I totally recommend them! 

★★★★★: 5/5

Avon Luxe Eyeliner Review!

Boy oh boy! I haven't done a review (a normal one) in a long time!!! Today I am making a short and to the point review about Avon's liquid eyeliner from the line Luxe.

It looks like above. It gives the impression that is a long tube but it's actually not that long. It comes in 2 colors, black and brown and of course the price varies depending on which country we are talking about and if it's in offer or not. I got mine in black in an offer from around 4.5 euro that is it's normal price to around 2.5 if i remember correctly, I got it a couple of months ago. I wanted a black eyeliner to take with me on vacation because I was sure that I was gonna get bored to remove gel eyeliner at night with make remover and whatnot and this is easily removable with a bit of Dove soap.

Unfortunately it's easily removable in general. It has crappy staying power and even though in the picture the tip of the applicator looks thin and fine it really is not. The applicator is of bad quality and it messes up soon after you use it 2-3 times, even if you use it lightly and carefully. As a result, the application becomes hard and messy since the tip is deformed.
After you apply it you have to wait 2-3 minutes because it WILL run somehow on your nose or cheeks leaving black marks.

Even though Avon presents it as a "luxe" product, it has no quality of a luxe product. Not even of a generic liquid eyeliner.

In my opinion, save your money for something else.

Pros:
- Can't really find any pro in comparison with any other simple liquid eyeliner.

Con:
- Depending on the offer or not, it can be pricey for its quality.
- Of poor quality.
- Not easy to work with.

In a nutshell:
- Did you like this product?
- Can't say that I did.

- Do you recommend it?
- Definitely not.

- Would you repurchase it?
- No way :P

Faves and Fails of June and July 2013

I know it's super late for this but we are on vacation so you understand! Since I didn't have the chance to post my favorite products for June I'm gonna make one post for both months (anyway in June i didn't have a whole lot of  products to post about).

Let's start with the products that impressed me first, shall we?

1. Yves Rocher - Organic Vanilla Eau De Toilette. 

Best vanilla perfume EVER! I have a review on it which you can read by clicking here. I love vanilla scent and this perfume is appropriate for any time or any season. I just love it!

2. Avon Naturals: Lily and Gardenia set

This set doesn't have something extraordinary than any other spray/shower gel/ body cream set as a texture or anything but it smells like heaven!!!! Definitely a favorite at the moment!

3. Catrice - Multicolour Blush in 060 Strawberry Frapuccino

This is a gift by my friend Usi, she had sent me not long ago a package with goodies from Catrice along with a gorgeous pouch bag that I love so much. This is a perfect blush because it looks so natural but it also gives a very nice color on the cheeks. LOVE IT.

4. Bioderma - Sensibio Ar with SPF 30

I am a fan of tainted sunscreens this however is something between a foundation and a sunscreen so it's absolutely perfect now in the summer. At first I wasn't sure about it to be honest because it only has like 2 shades and the lightest was sort of yellowish on me but it turns out now that I tanned it matches me very well. The best way to apply it in my opinion is with a wet (not dripping) flat foundation brush. Now in the summer I don't even set it with powder and it has a decent staying power considering that in Greece the temperature is dangerously high and we sweat all day. 

To move on with the products that I didn't enjoy....

1. Essence - Stay Natural Concealer 

I like Essence products a lot, but this is not a good one. I was excited to try it but it's simply rubbish. Besides the fact that you have to turn the end a lot of times to take product out, it lets out a big quantity so you waste product. Second and most important issue is that it's so thick that you can't blend it properly and the finish is not "stay natural" at all. Disappointing...

2. Avon - Nail Experts. gel strength base coat

I didn't expect anything to be honest from this product and I was right not to. My nails are usually long even thought they are thin and I can keep them long without breaking them. But lately, I think due to stress they were chipping off so I thought this might help. Good thing I didn't have my expectations high...

3. China Glaze Nail Polishes in general.

I know people will hate me for saying this (hahaha) but China Glaze has GORGEOUS nail colors but the quality is RUBBISH!!! I have at least 8 colors and they all do the same thing, the same day after I apply it, it goes away from the edges. Disappointing, considering that it's an expensive brand.

That's all for now. I'm preparing a small Inglot haul for the future so stay tuned! 

Take care!

Avon Luxe Lipstick Swatches

Helloooo! Long time no see, right? I just wanted to make a short post with swatches from Avon's Luxe lipsticks. We all know that Avon's lipsticks in general are amazing, pigmented and with a very nice texture but especially this line is AWESOME!

They are creamy, moisturizing and the name justifies them totally since they feel so luxurious! They come in a golden tube which is nice but the only small problem with shiny tubes like that is that they get all blurry from the fingerprints. I can't say that they have the best staying power but that makes total sense since they are very creamy and glossy. I totally RECOMMEND them!

1 - Nude Slip: My absolutely favorite shade from this line. As I mentioned in another post I don't like nude lipsticks because they make me look like a corpse but this is a very flattering nude color that is not grey or beige or brown or anything like that and it's in the list of my top 10 fave lipsticks.

2 - Lustering Nude: Also very flattering nude shade but this one has a shimmer in it and just a hint of pinky undertone maybe. My second favorite

3 - Rose Silk: Pinky to coral shade

4 - Polished Rose: Pink shimmery shade

5 - Provocative Pink: My third favorite from the line it's a soft glossy pink so pretty <3

6 - Pink Ruffles: Not sure why this has the word "pink" in it's name since its really a reddish color like a strawberry or watermelon red.

7 - Red Haute: It is a deep (not exactly wine) red.

8 - Glam Poppy: Orange shimmery color, not really my taste but still has a pretty texture.

9 - Stiletto Red: Pretty shimmery red color.

10 - Designer Red: Probably the best red color in the collection it is a true vibrant red that feels absolutely amazing on the lips.

Have you tried any of these lipsticks? Would you like me to take pictures of them on lips instead of my hand? Let me know!
I will start a point system from now on, like a grade from 0 to 5 to show my liking for the product I got this idea from my friend Usi's blogspot :)
So, the filled hearts will reprezent points and the blank hearts will just fill up till the five

So my grade for this product is a total 5 out of 5:
❤❤❤❤❤

Take care,
Heliana

Small Avon Haul ..... again!

Once more, I ordered some things from Avon and I thought you might like to see them :)

I got me some good old face cleanser, I usually buy the blemish clearing  (gone through my 3rd one) but now I ordered the pore penetrating one so I will let you know how I feel about it. I also got the blemish clearing moisturizer.

I usually have long nails but lately they tend to chip off and break so I got the "Nail Experts" therapy to for strength (I had used it before and it works nicely) and a lovely lime green color :)

My Seventeen face powder is close to it's end and since I read some very positive reviews I ordered the trend color face powders in "Translucent" and "Translucent Tan" for contouring, they are pretty similar colors so I can achieve a milder contouring.

Last but not least, I got a Trend Color lipstick (i have tried a few of them and I am very satisfied). I got the "Purple Roses" that came out in the campain of Valentine's day and it will soon be discontinued. It is a lovely pink - lilac color with just the right amount of glitter to be glamorous but also appropriate for daily use.

What product did you buy recently? Have you tried any of the ones I bought? Let me know! :)
