Pupa Luminys Baked Eyeshadow | Review & Swatches

I love using dry highlighter, especially now, when the weather is so hot and I don`t want anything oily on my skin. So when I received Pupa Luminys Baked Eyeshadow as a present from my lovely friend, I was super happy and excited to try it out, especially because I`m a big fan of this brand. I had a few baked eye shadow in my collection before, but Pupa overwhelmed my expectations!

Let me say just few words about the packaging in the begging of my review, the product comes in a clear plastic container with a curved little eye shadow applicator inside. Luminys Baked Eyeshadow looks like a surface of an unknown planet made of champagne marble, I can`t stop admiring the design!

I`m a lucky owner of the very first shade # 1 in the collection. The texture of the Pupa Luminys Baked Eyeshadow is kind dry and chalky, the shimmer is big enough and it has a beautiful champagne shade and frosty finish on the skin. This eye shadow was developed with a special `oven baking technology`, that allows to use this product in two different ways for two different makeup results - dry use, for a delicate and soft glow and wet use for an intense pearly finish. 

Overall, I wanted to say that it is a perfect highlighting eye shadow and I can`t stop using it lately, thanks to it special formula it will last literally forever and I would definitely recommend it for a professional use as well. Please, don`t forget to visit Pupa Milano website to see the whole range of baked eye shadows they have. 

What is your favorite highlighter at the moment?

Lots of love,

Treacle Moon Bath & Shower Gel | Review

If Jenna Marbles got three looks, I can only brag about two looks or moods I got - a lovely girly girl or a sad lonely goth. When it comes to the bathroom or a part of my vanity kit, I prefer to keep the things cute and sweet in there, that is why it was so hard to walk by these Treacle Moon Bath & Shower Gels. The packaging looked so adorable and the scent was so yummy I simply couldn't leave without these little bottles.

Treacle Moon `The Raspberry Kiss` Gel is probably one of the most famous and popular product from the Raspberry line. The scent of the product is strong enough, but after you wash the gel off the skin it leaves a very light and gentle fragrance. Treacle Moon 'Sweet Apple Pie Hugs' Gel is a limited edition product and it has a fresh scent of an apple smoothie, I can`t say that I`m a big fan of apple scents, but this one I loved very much, it is sweet and sour at the same time and I simply want to taste it :)  Also I like to use these gels for a bubble bath, it takes a bit more of a product, the get a good amount of bubbles, but I don`t mind.

All the products by Treacle Moon are vegan and I want to recommend this brand to everyone who is loves sweet mono scents and cute and simple packaging. These shower gels are amazing, and I will definitely repurchase both of them in the future and I hope to try out more products by this amazing brand. Don`t forget to visit an official Treacle Moon site to check out the full range of the products they product. I hope you liked my review, see you all soon :*

Lots of love,

All you need is to follow few simple steps and be patient while blending the eye shadow. This look is all about layering and blending colors, let us begin!

- Smoky eye demand a perfect neat canvas, so start by priming your eyes and filling in the eyebrows.

- Start to apply the black matte eye shadow on the eyelid, try to keep the almond shape of the eye, by blending the eye shadow and winging it out a little bit.

-  Smudge the eye crease with a bright fuchsia eye shadow, you can also add a bit of lilac color on the edges of the transition. Keep all the shades matte for a neater look.

- Highlight the brow bone and the corner of the eye with a white frost eye shadow, reapply the black color to intensify the darkness of the eyelid.

- Put a black eye kohl on the lower and upper water line, you can intensify the darkness of the kohl by adding a bit of black eye shadow, don`t worry it won`t irritate your eyes.

- Finish the Romantic Vampire Makeup with a generous coat of mascara and a pair of dramatic false lashes, and the look is completed.

Huge Drugstore Haul | Balea Products by DM

Hello my beauties, how are you doing lately? The weather outside is getting better and better each day, even thought we had a hail few days ago, so I`m feeling great! Especially because today I want to show you and share the first impressions on the skin care products by the famous European brand Balea. This is a very popular drugstore brand and I had a few products by Balea in the past and even talked about them on my blog (here), so I was super excited to show you everything I got. So let us begin ;)

So the very first product I want to talk about is Balea Flower Frost Body Lotion from a limited winter edition. I`m not a huge fan of rose fragrance in beauty products, but I almost don`t feel it in this lotion, unlike a sweet fruity aroma of passion fruit, it is divine. Even though Frost Flower is a winter body lotion, the texture of the product is pretty light and even a little bit runny. It makes my skin silky and lightly moisturized, so I think I`ll be using it in the summer with pleasure. Unfortunately, I haven`t found a link on the official Balea site on this product, probably because it was a limited addition.

The next product is a Balea Handcreme 2in1 Pflege & Maske mit Macadamia - Nussöl - it is a heavy moisturizing hand cream and mask with an oil of macadamia nut. I was not expecting it will be so nourishing, there is a huge amount of the macadamia seed oil in this cream, I even pretend to use it in winter, when I struggle with a dry skin on my knees, elbows and feet. The product has a very pleasant scent as well, but it takes quite a time to absorb into the skin.

Balea Erfrischendes Waschgel is an everyday washing gel for a normal and mixed skin type. It has an extract of lotus and bamboo, which helps to keep a natural balance of the moisture in the skin. I also found a Citric Acid in the list of the ingredients, it helps to clean the clogged pores and black heads, preventing the appearance of the new ones. I`m very excited to try it out, hope it will not dry out my skin.

The Balea Pflegendes Gesichtswasser or simply a Toner by Balea, is a product I already had in the past. It has no alcohol or ethanol, so even a people with a very sensitive or acne prone skin can use it on a daily basis. It has a very light and sweet scent and I love to use it as a makeup remover, because it gently and  thoroughly removes the residue of a makeup and oil from the skin, without drying or irritating it. I also use it after the facial mask or right after I wash my face, to help my favorite facial cream absorb deeply into the skin. 

The next four items I want to talk about are four different face mask by Balea. I really love treating my skin with mask, I always forget to apply them on though :) I got the one with Lavender - Lavendelmousse Maske, as I understand it suppose to calm down the irritation and heal the skin; the one with Vanilla and Raspberry - Himbeer Vanille Maske, it has an extract of shea butter, so it should moisturize the skin and prevent the dryness; Totes Meer Maske or Dead Sea Mask with a salt and huge amount of useful minerals, it removes the dead skin cells and opens the pores, this one I used already and I really loved it, even though it gave my skin a burning sensation (just a little bit), I think because of the sea salt. And the fourth facial mask is Feuchtigkeitsmaske or a Moisturizing Mask, with a thermal water and a sea weed. All the masks are vegan, there are two masks in one pack, each has 8 g / 0,0.28oz, but you can use one bag three times, because this quantity is enough for three faces :)

The next two items I pretend to settle in my bag, because I know I will always need them close to me in the summer. It is a small travel sized care cream and a lip balm, I haven`t found the links to these products, but I really loved them both. Fresh citrus scent and a nice moisturizing abilities, it is everything I need at the moment. And just a few little words about the Balea Badesalz Sanfte Erholung ( Bath Salt Jasmine & Lilly) and a Balea Badeperlen Tiefe Entspannung (Bath Pearls Black Orchid and Vanilla). Both products meant to deeply relax, calm down and satisfy our noses, because they have a very strong and sweet scent. 

And, finally, the very last, but not least product in my today`s haul is Balea Augen Make-up Entfernerpads ölfrei, it is an oil free cotton pads, which help to remove the eye makeup without any difficulties. I`m sorry that my post was so huge today, usually I`m a little bit less eloquent, but I hope you lied it. Stay tuned to see the detailed review of the products from my Huge Drugstore Haul post, talk to you very soon :*

Lots of love,

Betty Barclay Tender Blossom Fragrance | Review

Hi beauties, today`s post I want to dedicate to everyone, who is looking for a light and sweet perfume for an early spring time and the beginning of summer. I`m a very picky person, for me it is always hard to choose clothes, shoes and perfumes, but `Tender Blossom`by Betty Barclay  is my latest obsession and I`m very excited to share my thoughts with you. 

First of all let me just say a few little words of appreciation about the design of this cute flacon. It even has a tiny bow made of organza on the cap :) It is very girlish design and I simply love it! `Tender Blossom` is described as delicate and charming perfume for the sensitive women. The composition of the perfume opens with a very sweet, but gentle notes of sun-ripened melon, lychee and delicate violets. The heart of the fragrance is made of a freshly cut floral bouquet - peony, magnolia and a freesia. And the very last, but not least accents of the `Tender Blossom` close with sun - drenched woods such as cedar and sandalwood and musk. It is more than just a simple spring aroma, it is your own little garden in a cute packaging!

The staying power of the Betty Barclay fragrance is quite good, it stays on for about 5 or 6 hours, but you can always find a place for the `Tender Blossom` in your bag and refresh the aroma during the day. Overall, I can say that it is my favorite perfume at the moment - young, fresh and sweet, everything I love at spring. Maybe for someone `Tender Blossom` may be a little bit too saccharine, but I can`t imagine my daily routine without this aroma. If you need a vibrant, feminine aroma you should definitely try it out. `Tender Blossom` retails for £ 25.00 (20 ml) and you can order it from the official Betty Barclay site with a shipping to your home. Have a great and sunny day, hugs and kisses!

Lots of love,

Liz

The Original Tangle Teezer `Pink Fizz` | Review

I`m probably the last blogger in the world, who decided to try out The Original Tangle Teezer `Pink Fizz`, but as we know  it is better late, than never. I've heard a lot of positive reviews about the Tangle Teezer, but to tell the truth, I always thought it is a little bit overrated beauty tool. But when the last week I finally destroyed my favorite hairbrush, I decided that it is a time to test drive an `urban legend`.

Before to start let me just tell you a few words about my hair condition. My hair is long, super thin and sometimes I have a feeling that I was born with a bunch of knots in it. I always use a hair conditioner, masks and oils to help the situation, but I still need an extra help with detangling time to time.

The Tangle Teezer is a special hairbrush, that was designed to detangle matted and messy hair, it is possible to use it on wet, dry, colored and curly hair. It has a very soft plastic bristles of different length, which help to grab and detangle any knot in the hair without damaging it. The Tangle Teezer is very soft and it`s bristles are gentle and very bendable, so it is perfect for a scalp massage. The best thing about this magic tool is that it turned my life easier, because I don`t feel any more pain and suffering, while combing my naughty hair. Now it looks smooth and silky and I don`t need to spend hours of my time to make my hair obedient again.

The Tangle Teezer has an original shape, at first it feels a little bit unusual in the hand, but later I`ve realized that it is very comfortable design. It fits right into the hand palm and makes the massaging process easier and saves the space in the bag :) The Original Tangle Teezer retails for £10.60 and comes in 6 different color combination, I`m a lucky owner of a `Pink Fizz` - bright pink hairbrush, but the `Panther Black` is between my faves as well. You can order it on the official website or search in your local drugstore. 

Lots of love,

Liz
