Rimmel lasting finish foundation review

Yesterday i bought the Rimmel lasting finish foundation, i've heard some good things about this foundation on several blogs. So i was very curious to try it out, i also have the rimmel renew & lift foundation. But unfortunately i bought the wrong color, it's a bit too dark for me right now. Maybe i can wear it in the summer, i hope so. So here's what i think right now about the Rimmel lasting finish foundation,

I think it's a great foundation, especially for the price. It has a medium - full coverage, but it doesn't look unnatural or something. It smells really nice & it blended out very good. The only thing i didn't liked about this, is that there wasn't much choice of color. I don't know if it depends on where you buy it, maybe they have more choice on the internet. I'll let you guys know if i still like this one, when i've tried this foundation out a little longer. For now, i'm very happy with this foundation.

Anastasia beverly hills review!

A few days ago i received some things from anastasia beverly hills, she gave me the following things: The 6-item kit, which includes: tweezers, brow powder, 5 brow stencils, mini duo brush, clear brow gel, dvd with instructions & matte camille highlighter. I also received the go brow, brow enchancing serum, brow duality & the lash lifting mascara. I was so excited to receive this, i couldn't wait to try them out. And oh my god, i absolutely love these products. They are the best i've ever tried, i hate my brows. But with the products, i kinda love them now. Which is pretty amazing for me, because i have overplucked them for years & i hated them.

Let me show you what i received & what i think about the products:

What's inside:



From left to right : Clear brow gel - matte camille highlighter - 5 brow stencils - dvd - brow powder duo in medium ash -mini duo brush - tweezers

What i think of the products:

I think these products are amazing! The tweezer is great, it's the best i've ever tried. It took me so little time to remove all the unwanted hairs. The mini duo brush is also very good, the brow brush worked great & it's very soft! I think the 5 brow stencils are also a great idea, but unfortunately there wasn't a shape that fits my brows (my brows are too small :( ). The brow powder was perfect for me, finally a good color that matches my hair color. Also it did look natural which i'm very very happy about! Because of all the other products i've tried, i thought it looked fake & unnatural, so big thumbs up for the anastasia brow powder. The matte highlighter is a great product, it made my brows pop out more. The clear brow gel is also very good, i haven't tried other brow gels yet. But i'm very happy with this one!

Top to bottom : Lash lifting mascara - brow duality - go brow - brow enchancing serum

What i think of these products:

The mascara worked fine for me, more about this read below. The brow duality is great, it made my brows pop out more (for swatches & more read below). The go brow is also very good, the brow pencil worked great for me. It's the perfect color & it's great for an everyday look. I don't have any opinion about the brow enchancing serum yet, because i'll have to use it for a few weeks first. I'll let you know what i think of it, within a few weeks!




Lash lifting mascara

I'm very picky about mascara's, i always want a waterproof version of mascara's. Because when i don't use the waterproof version, my lashes won't stay curled. That's excactly what happened to me with this mascara, i thought the brush worked very good & i definitely loved it. Except it didn't worked for me, i think if it would be a waterproof version i would like this one very much. So if you always use non waterproof mascara, this is definitely a great mascara. The mascara didn't made my lashes curl, but it definitely made them longer! See pic below.

Brow duality

Brow duality swatch, on the left is the matte version & on the right is the shimmer version.

I think the highlighters are great, it definitely makes my brows pop out more.

Before & after photo, with the products used below

(duo brow powder, clear brow gel, matte highlighter, mini duo brush)

Full face shot, used brow powder on the right brow (the right side on this photo)

Overall i loved all of the products, i can't tell you how much but i absolutely loved them. They are the best brow products i have ever tried, i don't think i'll ever need to try out more. Because these products are perfect for me!!

You can buy it on http://www.anastasia.net , or on several stores!

For the dutch people, ik zag dat je het ook bij de douglas kan kopen.

Review: Nad's hair removal experts

A few days ago i received 3 products from Nad's hair removal experts. I received the following products:

• Nad's 24 facial hair removal strips
• Nad's brazilian & bikini kit

What they claim

24 facial hair removal strips:

The innovative new contour weave paper technology is softer and more flexible to conform better to your body's curves. Nad's Facial Hair Removal Strips, are the quick and easy way to keep your skin hair free for weeks.

24 hair removal strips:

A quick and easy way to remove unwanted hair, Nad’s provides 24 strips for longer lasting smoothness. The innovative new contour weave paper technology is softer and more flexible to conform better to your body's curves. Nad's Hair Removal Strips, are the quick and easy way to keep your skin hair free for weeks. We also include the NEW Desensitizing Kava Wipes to help relax, calm and reduce the "ouch" factor of waxing. Suitable for legs, arms, underarms and bikini. With regular use, hair growth is progressively slowed down.

I tried all 3 products. I was very excited because i'm always searching for some great hair removal products which are not very painful. So i was very happy i got the opportunity to try out these products. First i've tried the 24 facial hair removal strips, i thought they worked very good. It removed all the hairs, and it didn't hurt that much. After that i've tried the brazilian & bikini wax kit, they have all kinds of shapes in the kit which is very funny. I haven't tried these, but i think it's nice that they're in the kit. About the wax, you have to warm it up for 1 minute in the microwave. Which is very quick, than you have to place the wax on a tiny spot where you want to remove hair. Wait for 30 seconds, and then remove it with your hands. I thought this was so much better than removing the hair down there with strips, it wasn't painless but it didn't hurt me as much as other hair removal products. After that i've tried the 24 hair removal strips on my legs, they worked good just like the others!

I think Nad's is a great company, they use natural products & none of the products are tested on animals! So i'm very positive about these products, if you're looking for good working natural hair removal products, you should definitely check them out.

Steam cream review

Yesterday i received a jar of steam cream, i was very excited to try it.

What they claim:

STEAMCREAM represents the latest concept in skincare. Using a revolutionary steam-infused manufacturing process, STEAMCREAM provides a long-lasting, intensive and effective form of skincare that can be used on face, body and hands.
STEAMCREAM have pioneered the use of a steam technique to create this unique, gentle and loosely-bound emulsion. This looseness allows each ingredient – including a moisturising and soothing oatmeal infusion, orange flower water and healing lavender oil – to breakdown and penetrate areas of the skin that other creams find hard to reach.
Packaged in a compact, flush-lid aluminium tin featuring unique and collectable designs, STEAMCREAM is a perfect on-the-go product – convenient to slip into your bag, take to work, to school, on holidays or to the gym. And it’s hand luggage friendly at just 75g!

• multipurpose cream uniquely formulated using pure, unrefined steam for maximum absorption.
• High quality skincare for all skin-types.
• Locally produced using fresh, natural and traceable ingredients.
• Funky eco-friendly packaging designed in Japan and decorated with limited edition collectible designs.
• Handy-sized tin for on-the-go lifestyles at an affordable price.

What i think about steam cream:

I think steam cream is a great product, it moisturized my skin & made it feel very soft. Also i've tried the steam cream on my arm where i have a little bit eczema, and it helped very good. The steam cream smells very nice, it reminds me of lush angels on bare skin. Steam cream is for all skin types, and there's 75 gr. in it. Which is pretty much i think, especially for the price. Also i really liked that you can choose between different designs of packaging, i think it's very cute & original. I really reccomend this to anyone!

Review: the make up brush company

From left to right: powder/blusher brush - foundation brush - large concealer brush



A few days ago i received these lovely brushes from the make up brush company.
And i absolutely love them, look how pink & cute they are! I've received the following brushes:
Foundation - Large concealer - Powder/blusher brush.

Yesterday i tried them out and i'm very positive about them.
Especially about the foundation & large concealer brush, i love these!
When i first tried the large concealer & foundation brush they were a little stiff but when you touch them and move the brush with your fingers it's not stiff anymore. When i
applied my foundation or concealer with these brushes, the application was very smooth & the brushes are very soft.
The application with these brushes are also great, it looked very good & there was no streaking.
Also the bleding with this brush was nice! The concealer brush is very handy because you can use it for undereye circles or scars on your face.

The brush is pretty big, but you can get every zit or whatever you need to conceal.
Another positive thing about these brushes is that there weren't any bristles that fall out.
The powder/blusher brush worked fine, but i expected this brush was a little more softer (but this is normal because it has to be like this, so that they have enough body to do shading as well), although the brush wasn't soft it worked good. And the brush handle is cute, so i still love this one as much as the other brushes.

If you love pink and you're looking for good working non expensive brushes,

these brushes are definitely reccomendable!


You can buy it on http://www.themakeupbrushcompany.co.uk they ship worldwide, so everyone can buy it!

The brush guard review

Today i received a few samples from the brush guard,

i was very excited to try them because it's such a great invention!

Here is what they claim:
The Brush Guard is an entirely new product that keeps your makeup brushes like new! The Brush Guard is a stretchable, breathable tube which protects your makeup brushes:

While drying—bristles dry in perfect shape

In use—handle stays clean and grips better

In storage—no snags or squashing

On the move—perfect packing

They are available in five package choices:

- Variety pack—assortment of each size
- Ex. Small—Shadow/Liner
- Small—Blush
- Medium—Foundation
- Large—Powder/Kabuki

I think this is an amazing invention! i'm always afraid that my brushes are getting out of shape, now i don't have to be anymore because it definitely helps to keep the brushes in shape. The brush guards definitely does what they claim! Also it's super handy when you don't have a brush roll, and you want the brushes to be packaged (for protection of the bristles).

It's very cheap & the shipping was so quick. I received it within 6 days! You can buy it on http://www.thebrushguard.com/index.html

Soft & slow

Today i received this lipgloss from mac called Soft & slow, from the neo sci-fi collection.

I bought it on ebay for about 12 dollars including the shipping costs. Which is really cheap i think!

I think this lipgloss is so beautiful, it's a warm rosy pink shade & i think it will look good on anybody.

Let me know what you think of it!

MF false lash effect vs. CG lashblast mascara

Monday i bought the new mascara from max factor, it's called max factor false lash effect. I already got the covergirl lashblast, which looks almost the same. I wanted to try this one, because i saw some reviews and they were pretty good. So i decided to compare these two!

on the Left we have the maxfactor brush & on the right the cover girl brush.

Left max factor & on the right cover girl. (don't mind the tired eyes)

So i'm not really sure if i like this one, i was very excited about it. But i think i prefer the cover girl mascara, because it makes my lashes fuller. The max factor mascara didn't make my lashes fuller, but it does make it look longer. But it didn't gave the false lash effect at all, on the picture it looks like the max factor one is better. But in real life i think the cover girl is much better. The thing i like about the max factor, is that it makes my lashes longer & the brush is nice. But that's all... What i like about the cover girl mascara is that it makes my lashes fuller & also longer. i also liked this brush, another good thing about this mascara is that it's cheaper than the max factor. But perhaps not on ebay, in the netherlands i bought 21 dollars for the max factor mascara. And i payed less than 10 dollars for the cover girl mascara (which i bought on ebay).

Gosh velvet touch lipstick

Today i bought a lipstick from gosh, it's called gosh velvet touch lipstick in darling. I've heard some good things about this lipstick, it's a very pretty nude color. I'm so happy that i bought it, because i was looking for a nude lipstick. And this one is so smooth & it's such a pretty color.

I love this lipstick, i bought it for 6 euro i think (normally it's like 8 euro, but they had 25% off sale on all gosh lip products). What do you think?

Eyeko haul!

Eyeko, i think you've all heard about it this past few months. Eyeko is a brand from london, the make up has a manga twist & japanese flavour. Lately this brand is very popular, and you can find many reviews on different beauty blogs. The reviews i read on beautysites & blogs are always very positive, so i decided to order some thing. I got: the eyeko cream & strawberry fatbalm. The eyeko cream is a moisturizer, highlighter & eyecream. I'm gonna use it as a highlighter, here is what they claim:


Create a flawless base with Eyeko's 3-in-1 Cream MOISTURISER, HIGHLIGHTER & EYE CREAM in 1!Infused with skin perfecting light reflectors and antioxidant Vitamins A& E plus a Vitamin C boost for a radiant, clear complexion.




So i've tried it on and i thought it looked really nice, especially in the summer. It's a pink gold shimmer highlighter, and i love it. In real life it looks so much better than on the picture!



I also ordered the strawberry fat balm, here is what they claim:
Berry-liscious tints with light reflecting particles and added moisture for softer, sexier lips. Smooth on to cheeks too for a fruity flush. Available in 3 sheer shades.


I absolutely love this smell, it smells really good. It smells like strawberries haha ofcourse, it's called strawberry fatbalm! The color is really nice too, on my lips it looks red and it's very pretty. On my cheeks it's more like a red/pink color, very nice. I think this is very useful, because you can use this as a blush or as a lipbalm. Just like you can use the eyeko cream on different ways. You can find these things on www.eyeko.com for only 5 pounds each!

Revlon colorstay foundation

A few days ago i received this foundation i ordered on ebay, i've been wanting this for months because i've heard good things about it. People compare revlon colorstay foundation to the mac foundation because of it's good coverage. But this one is a lot cheaper, so i really wanted to try it. Here is what they claim:

Want makeup that is flawless and weightless for 16 perfect hours?? Revlon® has the solution - ColorStay® Makeup with SoftFlex®.Specially formulated for normal or dry skin, this oil-free, moisture-balanced formula gives you flawless looking skin. Makeup looks fresh and feels great for up to 16 hours thanks to the lightweight, comfortable feel from the Patented SoftFlex® Formula. Medium to full coverage in 12 luxurious shades, with SPF 15 protection

So i'm really impressed with this foundation, i've got it in normal/dry skin and in natural tan. I've been searching for a foundation that has a medium to full coverage, and this foundation does the job. It covers good, but not in a way that it doesn't look natural. It looks very natural, and it didn't break me out. The only thing i didn't like about this foundation is the packaging, there's no pump on it. So when you want a small amount of foundation out of it you have to be careful. I bought this foundation on ebay for only 10 dollars. So it's definitely worth to give it a try, if you're looking for a new foundation.

Revlon nude lustre

Today i received my Revlon super lustrous lipgloss in nude lustre, i bought it on ebay for 6,10 dollars. I've heard very good things about the revlon super lustrous lipglosses, so i bought this color.

As you can see it's a pink peachy nude color, which looks very beautiful on every skin color. I will definitely buy more colors of this lipgloss. I bought this lipgloss on: http://myworld.ebay.nl/amykentaylor/
