Sephora 50 colors medium shopping bag palette review

Hi guys,

Today i will review my new Sephora medium make up palette. I loved the concept, the design, and i loved the colors.

This shopping bag contains :

•  33 eyeshadows
• 3 eye liners cream
•  12 lip glosses
•  3 blushes
• 3 bronzing powders 
•  a nice mirror incorporated into the compact design

At that price (23 Euros), i said "wow, i need to have it"; i loved its design and the fact that it had so many eye shadows and blushes, all into such a small, compact, palette. I said to myself "i will take this to my travels to Greece and back, i will have fun with all these awesome colors, this is so cool". But as soon as i got home, very eager to try it on, my excitement soon transformed into disappointment.
And i will tell you why.

• The eye shadows are so dusty, especially the pearly-glittery ones. They are not very pigmented and without an eye primer these can t last more then 3 hours on your eyes.  I really had to struggle to apply them with an eye brush, they were falling on my cheeks and all over my face.
• The lip glosses are ok, but not very pigmented. They got a nice shimmer, texture and they smell nice. 

What i liked about this palette was the size, the design and the mirror.

• What i also liked was the fact that they had a variety of quality blushes but the problem is that you can't apply just one color with a kabuki brush, because they are so close one to another. So you need to use a smaller brush.

• The creamy eyeliners are ok but not spectacular

Will i purchase this palette again? Nope.
I d give it 2 stars out of 5.

My review is strictly personal, i am not employed at any beauty or cosmetics firm, i just share with you all my point of view about these products.

See you soon,

Love,

Sophie

Avon lady Ding Dong ! Avon products review

Hi ladies,

So today i m gonna make some reviews about some Avon products that i just got.

1. Avon Plump Pout Lip gloss

Like you probably know, I'm an obsessed lip plumper maniac and always in the search for something better

This is what i got :

-in two shades : luscious mauve and nude pout


I loved the smell, the texture, and the colors.
I was disappointed about the fact that the colors are not very pigmented or shiny. I love shiny particles in lip glosses and these two shades i got are a bit disappointing.
Also i was expecting some plump effect on my lips. Nothing happened except a minty fresh feeling on my lips.

For their affordable price, they are ok. I got them both for 6 Euros.
Would i purchase them in the future ? Maybe for a gift.

2.5 stars out of 5 i would give them.


2.The second thing i got it s AWESOME

Planet spa indulgence :silky body souffle with african shea butter and chocolate truffle

I cant describe how happy this deluxe body light lotion makes me.

It smells amazing but not heavy. It s subtle and sweet.
Also a plus is the texture- light, with a beautiful gold sparkle color. When you actually apply it on your skin, it makes you feel heavenly, leaves your skin velvety and mosturized. It s soft, elegant, makes you feel precious, it hydrates, it does not stain your clothes (even with the shea butter it is not an oily product).

It s cheap! Only 11 Euros.  I must say that i tried more expensive body lotions then this one and this one is by far the best i had, even if it is so cheap!

my rating is 5 stars out of 5! You must try it!


3. Another amazing product is actually a gift set that i bought : City Rush (for her) gift set :

I got :  A beautiful 50 ml Eau de Parfum
           - perfumed shower gel 150 ml
           - perfumed body lotion 150 ml

All these for only 17 euros!

This perfume is very cool, and also new- launched in the autumn of this year. I loved the fragrance since i first smelled it (also the bottles design-chic and minimal).   It is advertised by my favorite actress Milla Jovovich.
Its a spicy-sweet-oriental-woody smell (its dark, intense,but not heavy). It s more a night perfume, but i usually wear it anytime i want.
Because it s EDP it lasts longer then EDT, around 5 hours (hey , for such a cheap perfume this is great). Combined with the shower gel and the perfumed body lotion, the scent could last up to 8 hours !
TIP : This trick you can do with any perfumes you would like : use the same brand of skin lotion, shower gel and perfume and the scent lasts longer!

It s cheap, but actually it does not smell like a cheap fragrance, it s very sensual and urban. it reminds me a little of  a spicier Givenchy Hot Couture.

The shower gel and body lotion are great too. Awesome consistence, great smell, and quality.

My rating for this set ? 5 stars of course!

Kiss,

Sophie

Max Factor Lasting performance make up foundation review

Hello all my viewers,

I think that we all need a nice make up that will make us look prettier.  I am a fan of Max Factor products since i am 16.
I love this make up foundation.
It blends great and covers all the imperfections, and leaves the skin soft like velvet. It also does not stain.  It has a lovely smell and gives the skin a matte finish.
Also a plus is that this foundation is a bargain. 12 Euros. I tried more expensive brands but this one is my favorite !

maximum rating 5 stars out of 5 !

 

Hugs,

Sophie
