Kylie Jenner Lip Combo : Catrice meets MAC

Hello !

I think we all agree on this, Kylie Jenner had a huge influence in the beauty world in 2014 and still has in 2015 : from her blue hair to her big lips, there are thousands and thousands of tutorials on Youtube to get the perfect look!

I'm not a big lipstick-lover, I'm more of a mascara/eyeliner - girl. I find that bold lips or bright reds don't look nice on me at all. I usually go for a lipbalm just so my lips don't look so dead! But when I saw Kylie's selfies, I noticed the gorgeous brown nude lipstick she was wearing and immediately needed to try something new!

I tried different combo's but finally found the PERFECT one to achieve the K.J look and I'm so excited to share it with you!

It's always better to use a lipliner before applying lipstick because it will give it a good base and also make it last longer. I went to Holland not long ago and found this lipliner by Catrice. It's a drugstore brand, available in a few European countries (Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, Ireland and maybe the UK ... ). Their products are really great and very affordable !
I found this lipliner from the Ultimate Stay Lip liner collection in 030 lost in the rosewood (any PLL fan here ? #BIGAREVEAL! )

On top of it, I use the famous Velvet Teddy by MAC. It's a matte lipstick, so you can be sure it won't budge and will last longer on your lips!

These two products make my favourite combo to achieve the perfect nude lips !

Will you try this combo? What do you think about the Kylie Jenner trend ? Let me know in the comments below :)

Review : L'Oréal Super Liner Ultra Precision

Hey there!

I hope that you're all doing well ! Spring is around the corner … really exciting!

Today's review is going to be the L'Oréal Black laquer ultra précision eyeliner. What a long name but gosh, it's amazing! Those who know me, probably know I almost never go out without eyeliner. And this one is a winner for me. It is one of the best  I've ever used. You know I like my Primark PS love eyeliner but this l'Oréal one is something else.

Let's start with the packaging : BEAUTIFUL. It's gold,  it looks so luxurious and expensive. Seriously how fancy does it look ? I love it. Imagine if it were rose gold ? I'd buy it without a doubt.

The applicator is a sponge-tip pen and is incredibly easy to use. It's also very fine so it helps you create a very precise line (that's why it's called ultra precision duuuuh). You can't fail your perfect cat eye line with this! The application is seriously so easy, so for all of you who aren't so familiar with eyeliners, you'll love this. The felt tip is so flexible which makes it so easy to create a very thin or thick line. I usually go for a flick. So I draw a thin line, close to my lash line starting in the middle of the lid and then draw a line from the bottom lash line (like a 45° line) and join it to the line that I previously drew and then fill in the gaps  :)

The lasting power is quite good. I apply it before going to uni and It usually lasts a few hours. It usually fades around the outter corner so I draw my flick again in the afternoon. But other than that, it doesn't smudge.

I think overall this is an amazing eyeliner and I will definitely repurchase it!

Do you think you will purchase this soon ? What's your favourite eyeliner ? Let me know in the comments below!

Review : Garnier Micellar Water / Is it worth the hype?

Hey everyone!

It's been a while since I last posted an article on here … but I have prepared a few for you for the next few weeks !  Oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wish you all an amazing year :)

I've got a new review for you today, and it's the Garnier micellar water ! 

Yes, everyone is raving about this product but is it worth the hype ?

A lot of you may be wondering what exactly is micellar water ? Well it contains micelles which are molecules that will act like magnets to your make up and all the dirt on your face.
With that being said, you understand what a great make up remover micellar waters can be!

Garnier micellar water is the first I've ever used, and I really don't know why I didn't discover this earlier because it made my life so much easier!

I apply it on a cotton pad and start to remove all the make up on my face then use a second one to remove all the dirt. After that I do the same steps but focus on my eyes. It's incredible how efficient it is at removing ALL the make up. It doesn't irritate the eyes, it just feels like water on your skin.

It doesn't contain a ton of chemical products which is always great for your skin. You'll quickly forget about these awful make up wipes who aren't removing half of the dirt that sits on your face. The Garnier Micellar Water really acts like a magnet to your make up and it will quickly become a MUST in your skincare routine.

I always have a few coats of mascara on and I wear eyeliner everyday and it does a pretty good job at removing almost all of it. I don't know about waterproof mascara's though , so I can't tell you much about it.

I didn't see any bad reaction on my skin or breakouts due to the use of this product. It's absolutely not drying your skin ! It's the most gentle make up remover I've tried. It's very gentle to all skin types even if you have sensitive skin (as it is said on the bottle).

Now the packaging is pretty simple, nothing too fancy. It's really affordable , you can find it at your local drugstore for example Boots for £4.99 and for  4,80€ in Belgium. It contains 400ml so it will definitely last you for a while.

I don't think I'll use any other make up remover anytime soon ! I totally am satisfied !

Have you tried the Garnier Micellar water ? If not, will you purchase it soon ?

Much love,

Review : Neutrogena pink grapefruit facial wash

Hello there!

How is it mid-November already ? I can't believe we're a month away from 2015 (and my birthday soon) ! How crazy is that ? I wanted to share with you a new skincare product that I've been using during October and November. 

It's Neutrogena pink grapefruit facial wash ! Now, to be completely honest I bought this MONTHS ago and when I used it for about a week I hated it! Like I had breakouts all over my face and I thought It would just disappear after a week to clear my skin afterwards but it got worse so I stopped using it and  promised myself I'd never use it again. But here I am making a review about it months later. 

After I ran out of the Neutrogena 2 in 1 face wash, I decided I would give it a second chance because let's be honest I  had no other options. I was so surprised to see that my skin felt fresh, clean , smooth and after a few weeks I noticed less blemishes and blackheads. Is it thanks to the gel wash or something else ? I don't know but I'd say I've definitely seen a difference on my skin.
I have combination skin so my cheeks area is dry and my T-zone tends to be oily so if you have the same skin type, you could give this a try.
This product is quite drying as it contents Salicylic acid, which is often used in anti-acne products, so you really need to moisturize your skin afterwards. 

I have read a lot of terrible reviews on it and as I told you I hated it when I used it for the first time and now I really like it so , I would say give this a try and maybe try it later to see how it goes. Obviously this is my personal experience and maybe you'll hate it or maybe you'll absolutely love it , we all have different skin so we don't react the same way.

I love the gel consistency and use it by massaging it in  circular motions on dry skin first (so without water) and then add hot water and finally rinse it off with cold water.
I only use this in the evening after removing my make up :)

Yes, it's empty! ahah 

Have you ever tried this product ? If so, what did you think of it ? Let me know in the comments ! 

  Also do you like Neutrogena ? Do you think it's the best drugstore brand to help getting rid of acne ?

Hey there!

Look at me coming back after more than a month like nothing happened ….. SORRY!
I have tried to focus on my Youtube channel, Uni and all the stress that goes with that! I'm definitely going to blog more , pinky promise!

Now these last few months I've been trying a lot of different make up brands : Rimmel, Maybelline, L'Oréal, Bourjois,Essence .. a lot of drugstore brands right ? Well that's because we all know money is not our bestfriend unless you're One Direction or Beyonce's baby .. So why not telling you which one of these brands I've been ADORING these last few months ?

What if I tell you that you're worth it ? Yupp, you got it : L'OREAL

I think l'Oréal has such an amazing product range from skincare to hair products. I tried a lot of them!
Make up wise they have such a various collection … I'm going to tell you about my favourites and the ones who are on my wishlist! :D

Skin

Their foundations are really really good, everyone (including me) has been raving about the True Match foundation (which I think is the best drugstore foundation I've tried so far)  but also the Infaillible foundation. They have quite a good range of shades which I think is perfect for people who have darkest skin tones and still want to find a good drugstore foundation. I really would love to try more of their foundations like the Lumi magic one. They're just really good quality, affordable and they don't break me out !
Unfortunately, I can't tell you a lot about concealers cause I haven't tried any but looking forward to trying the Lumi Magic concealer (there's something about that  collection that screams 'BUY ME'…).
I love their powders as well , especially the True Match powder that doesn't give a caky look at all but mattifies your skin perfectly. I'd love to try their Glam bronze bronzer !

Eye 

It's not a secret, L'Oréal mascaras are my favourite mascaras ever. I have tried many others but always come back to theirs. My all time favourite one is the Telescopic mascara. There's not a day where I don't apply one coat of this mascara even after applying another one. It separates my lashes and makes them look so much longer. I am often asked if I am wearing false lashes … but no it's just the mascara!
I also love the Volume million lashes which is also my mum's all time favourite. It's really good if you're looking for full, voluminous and black lashes. I could ramble about l'Oréal mascaras for hours so I really need to stop here ;) !
I'm an eyeliner wearer (let's call it like that !?) and I have been loving the Super liner blackbuster eyeliner these last months ! It's always in my make up bag! I also can't wait for my Super liner black lacquer to arrive! I've tried it before and I have a feeling it's gonna become my fav eyeliner !

Lips  

I'm not a massive lipstick lover, but when I do wear lipstick I always go for nudes! So the Color rich lipstick in 303 Rosé tendre looks beautiful ! I just can't wait to try it! I've tried lots of their lip glosses from the Glam shine collection, all so shimmery and beautiful !

I think I could keep going with hair products  and skincare but that article would be way too long!

Which l'Oréal product is your favourite ? Let me know in the comments below! I hope it gave you a bit of inspiration to go and try new l'Oréal products.

NEW DISCOVERY : W7 MAKE UP (+)

Hello there!

In my summer favs article I told you about a new discovery : W7 make up.
I was kindly sent some products to try and see what I think about them! I was kind of surprised at how good the products where ! I didn't expect to like them that much but some of them became a must in my make up bag! I'll talk you through each product that I got and tell you more about them!

- Face primer - Camera Ready

This changed my whoooole make up look! I used to never use primers before applying foundation simply because I never thought it could make a big difference. I was wrong! I apply this primer everyday before my foundation and it gives me that flawless finish look that I love. The name is great because your skin looks really amazing on pictures. It makes your pores disappear and  your foundation lasts all day. This is my favorite product that I got from W7. I highly recommend it. It blends easily on the skin and is really affordable! You can find it here  x

- Blush baby : Heart throb

I love this blush! You should have seen my reaction when I first applied it because I wasn't expecting it to be that pigmented. You don't need a lot on your brush. It will give you a nice healthy look. It comes in 3 different shades and the one I have is a nice dark pink shade. Very similar to the Rimmel London blusher. You can find this here x

- Silky Eyes Mauve Magic eyeshadow palette

If you're looking for a great palette with nice shades for this fall you have it here! It is perfect to create a nice smokey eyes. It's compact and fits perfectly in a make up bag! You can find it here x

- Full time Lip colour in Angel dust

To be completely honest this isn't my favourite lip gloss. I have it on now : the colour is beautiful and it does last a long time but it's quite sticky. You can find it here x


What do you think about W7 ? Make sure you check their website and products ! I'm excited to use more products and see what they got!
