Product Empties: August


Hello everyone!!
Today I want to share with you some products that I have used up in the last few months. I will also tell you what I thought of the product and if I would repurchase it again. Some of the products I have actually already repurchased. 


Batiste dry shampoo: I have mentioned this dry shampoo on my blog so many times and I have to mention it again. I have thick and curly hair so I don´t like washing it often and this product helps me so much with that. It is affordable and there are many scents to choose from. I actually bought a new bottle yesterday.

Amika perk up dry shampoo: I got this little sample in a monthly beauty box and I was really excited because I have heard a lot of good things about it on youtube. The bottle is really cute and the dry shampoo works but I don´t think it is any better than Batiste. I will not be buying the full size because Batiste is so much more affordable and I don´t feel the need to replace it.


Byphasse purifying cleansing gel: This face wash is suitable for all skin types and it does not contain alcohol, soap or parabens. I really liked it because I felt like it cleaned my skin but it did not leave it feeling tight and dry. I repurchased it yesterday and can´t wait to start using it again.

Avon Planet Spa Oriental Radiance balancing facial cleanser- This cleanser contains white tea but looking at the ingredients it also has parabens. It was okay but I wasn´t really that impressed with it.  It didn´t leave my skin feeling tight which is good but I don´t think it cleaned my skin very well and I saw no difference . I will not be ordering this again.


Byphasse Micellar make-up remover solution-  I have nothing bad to say about this product. It removes my makeup well, it does not dry out my skin and it is affordable. It is great for sensitive skin and it is very gentle. I have already repurchased it three times.


Cottage Le Caramel Gourmet shower gel: How delicious does this shower gel look?! When I saw this at the store I was sooo excited because I love sweet delicious scents and this just looked awesome. When I started using it I was so disappointed because the smell was not all that great and it didn´t stick around at all after the shower. It did leave my skin soft but I will not be buying it again because the scent was not what I expected.

Afrodita Vanilla cream shower gel: The same goes for this shower gel. I was expecting to have a delicious shower experience with this but the smell of this was actually bad. It was not even okay...just bad. I will definitely not be buying this product again.


Ducray extra gentle shampoo: I received this sample in a monthly beauty box. The scent is nice and it is paraben free but I was not really impressed. I feel like it does not lather well and I had to use so much product. My drugstore shampoo works just as well so I will not be purchasing this in a full size.

L´Oreal pro fiber restore shampoo and mask: I also received these in a monthly beauty box. The shampoo sample was so small that it was barely enough for even one use so I don´t really have an opinion on it but the mask I tryed a couple of times and I really did not see or feel a difference. 


Happy Hemp night cream with organic hemp oil: I was really excited about this anti ageing cream because it does contain hemp oil and that just sounds interesting to me. This is a night cream so I was expecting a thicker formula but it really is not.  I will not be buying this again because I saw no difference in my skin and it also started smelling kinda weird after a couple of months.

Nikel Rich Cream with passion flower:  I used this cream in the morning under my makeup. I really liked the scent and I liked the cream in general but I didn´t love it so I probably will not buy it again.

Lush Angels on Bare Skin face wash: I loved using this on my face. The ingredients are great and it left my skin feeling so soft and smooth. I will definitely buy this again soon.


Avon Big & False Lash mascara: This mascara has a really big brush and it contains fibers in it. I really liked how it made my lashes look but I could not deal with the fibers that would fall in my eyes. It would literally drive me nuts all day so I will not buy this again.

Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara: I love this mascara and I have gone through atleast three of them. It makes my lashes look really good and a couple of people actually asked me if I was wearing falsies. At the moment I am trying something else but I will most definitely buy this one again.

Catrice Eye Brow stylist: I have not tryed many eye brow products so I can´t really compare it to anything but I really like this pencil. I am on my second one at the moment and the color just works so well for me. The color I use is 020 Date with Ash-ton and it lasts all day.



Nivea protect & care anti-perspirant: As you can see I used up a couple of these. I just love the original Nivea scent so I really liked these. At the moment I am using a different Nivea deodorant but I will definitely buy this one in the future.


Those are all of the products that I have used up lately. Have you tryed any of these that I have mentioned?

Thank you so much for reading!!

My 2015 Beauty Favorites


Hello everyone! I am probably the last person to write about 2015 favorites but I thought it was appropriate cuz it is still January haha. Most of the products that I will mention I have already mentioned in my blog before but they just need another shout out!

Lets start off with foundation. I have mentioned the Revlon Colorstay so many times but it is my go to foundation. I have tryed out a few others throughout the year and I always just go back to Colorstay. I am on the look out for a new foundation since I have been using this one for about three years and it is time for a change. I love the coverage but the only problem I have with it is the color. I can never find a perfect color for myself and I always look too pink. Do any of you know which shade is light and a bit more warm and yellow toned?


The next products I want to mention are blushes. I have three blushes that I have used constantly last year. The first one is E831E Pearlescent Pink by Wet n Wild. This was my go to summer blush and I literally used it every day of the summer. The pigmentation is awesome and as you can see I hit pan on mine.


The next two are from my Makeup Revolution ultra blush palette. I have the color Sugar and Spice and the first two blushes in the palette  I have been using since fall and I still do on a daily basis. As you can see I also hit pan on one of them and the palette is pretty beat up.


There is only one makeup tool that I want to mention and that is the Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. I bought this sponge last spring and I have been using it every day since. It was my favorite way to apply my Colorstay foundation. The only thing I don´t like is that it is a pain to clean and I can never get it looking really clean,  With that being said..ignore its dirtyness in the picture. 


Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 eyeshadow palette was my go to palette. The colors are a dupe for the UD naked 3 palette. These are not the best quality eyeshadows but for my every day needs they work perfectly fine. The colors are beautiful and the price is amazing. I would suggest an eyeshadow primer with these. As you can see in the picture below I have really used mine a lot!


I have tryed a couple of different eyelashes from the drugstore and they just did not work out for me. They were too heavy and uncomfortable on my eyes. Finally I found a store that sells Ardell eyelashes and I was so excited because everyone raves about them. I bought the style 120 Demi black and I was so pleasantly surprised when I put them on. They were so light and comfortable. I didn´t feel them on my eyes at all.


Now lets talk about some lip products. I am a huge Wet n Wild fan and their Megalast lipsticks are AMAZING!!! I have so many colors and I absolutely love them. My most worn are definitely Bare it all, Sugar Plum Fairy and Cherry Bomb. Also Stoplight Red is the perfect red for me.


Another lip product that I definitely have to mention is the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet. If I am not wearing a WnW lipstick then I am definitely weaing this, I can´t say enough good things about this product. It is so comfortable on the lips and lasts a really long time. I have mine in the color Nude-ist and I really want to pick up more shades. 


While we are talking about lips I just want to mention my favorite lip balm. It is the Labello lip butter in Vanilla & Macadamia. I have gone through a couple of these and I use it every morning when I wash my face and every night before going to sleep. It smells really good and it protects my lips very well.


It was so hard for me to narrow down my nailpolishes to a top 5 because there are so many colors that I love. So my favorites in a random order are:

- Bourjois Turquoise block
- Wet n Wild Wear Skinny Jeans (limited edition)
- Ados cosmetics 551
- Catrice (S)wimbledon
- Essence Mandarine Bay

As you can see all the colors are kind of springy but those are just the types of colors that I like to wear year round.


I don´t like to wash my hair often because it is long and curly..and a pain in the butt to style. Dry shampoo is a must have for me because it helps keep my hair clean looking between washes. Batiste dry shampoo is my favorite and I have mentioned it in previous posts. I absolutely love it and it works so well for me.


Last but not least I want to mention the Victoria´s Secret fragrance mist in Amber Romance. I have worn this all summer because it is light and it smells so good!! 


Those would be my favorite products of 2015. As you can see I did not have a favorite mascara or lipgloss. I have tryed a lot but there was nothing that just stood out to me. 

Thank you all so much for reading!!

Product Empties




Hello everyone!!!

Today I want to share with you a few products that I have used up over the last couple of months. I actually just realized that I love all of the products that I am showing you today and that I have or will purchase them again.


 Batiste dry shampoo

I absolutely love this product and I have gone through soo many bottles of this. I am not a big fan of the smell of this one but I love the way it works. I can go a lot longer without having to wash my hair which is amazing!!


Gillette Satin Care with a touch of Olay shave gel

I have not repurchased this yet just because I am trying out another one but I definitely will when I use my current one up. I really liked it and it made my legs feel soft.


Avon Far Away and Dior Hypnotic Poison

These are two of my favorite perfumes and I love them both soo much. Far Away is very affordable and Hypnotic Poison is a bit more expensive so I have both options.


Impulse Vanilla Kisses body spray and Avon Sugarplum and Vanilla body spray

The Impulse body spray is my favorite because it smells so good and delicious and I have repurchased it atleast five or six times.

The Avon body spray also smelled really good and I used it all summer but I probably won´t buy it again just because I like trying different ones.


Mixa Cleansing Micellar Water

I go through this stuff like crazy. I really like it a lot and it doesn´t irritate my sensitive skin at all and it doesn´t make it feel tight. I have a review on this product here!! 


Revlon Colorstay foundation

This is my favorite foundation, I have gone through three or four bottles of this and I will repurchase it again. I love the coverage it gives me and it doesn´t feel heavy on my skin.


Ziaja Coco butter creamy shower soap

I really enjoyed this shower soap because it made my skin feel really soft and I really liked the scent. I will repurchase it again after I use up the back ups I have. 

Those would be the products that I have used up lately. I know there is only one makeup product but I wanted to share it with you anyway.

Thank you so much for reading!!
