Hello there my Böoz
today I bring you my reviews about all the beauty stuff I've been using during March. My faaaaaaavorite ones.
So let's get started.
Let's begin with FACE FOUNDATIONS
First of all, my skin tone is a pale color, like a very slight yellow. I am freckled and I've got mahogany/ copper hair. It's sometimes hard to find some matchable foundation for me, that can really make me feel a non cakey face but still has a good coverage and your skin looks great...
BOURJOIS HEALTHY MIX SERUM FOUNDATION
This foundation promises you:
Designed to give skin a boost of radiance
Vitamin-rich fruit blended formula including litchi, goji berries, and pomegranates
Gel is designed to blend easily into skin and hide imperfections
Created to boost skin radiance for up to 16 hours
MY PERSONAL OPINION:
I bought this foundation by ASOS.com for 15,50 € (spain) which is a quite pricey , especially if you are looking for something really affordable, but !
Sometimes it's better to invest money on something that assures you not to ruin your face or cloge your pores etc. So this is a great choice.
PROS: * comes in 4 shades, Beige clair, beige fonce, vanille and vanille clair. (my shade is a vanille clair)
* smooth and soft touch , feels like it's not there ! amazing
*very blendable
*love the packaging
*very soft and nice smell
CONS: a bit costly.
if you don't like the perfumed foundations, you may won't like this.
if you are looking for a full coverage this is not. Though is a buildable one.
it's a light medium, probably more a medium coverage.
EYESHADOW
This was my first time buying a palette ....And I slanted myself into SLEEK products as I heard great reviews about their high pigmented palettes, I had a look upon their makeup website and I fell in love with the SUNSET palette. It has an amazing range of warmth bronzy red colors which I truly love for my make up. ( I usually make up with red tones, vibrant red because matches with my amber eyes).
i- DIVINE SLEEK SUNSET PALETTE
This is the palette, how you can see, the colors are truly to falling in love with.
The package is nice as well .
I bought this in a drugstore , in barcelona, for 9.95 € which is a reasonanble price considering the quality of the product.
PROS: *amazing colors, wide range of colorful palettes ( difficult choice ! )
*high pigmented *easy to blend
*nice packaging
CONS: not that easy to find in Spain, I didn't like that much the eyeshadow sponged-brush,
EYEBROWS
I am kinda obsessed with eyebrow, in fact it's something that enhance your features and if they are overdone , or too thin , they don't look good.
I like very natural still bold ones. I used to copy the Cara delevingne style, bold and a bit dark eyebrows than mine, but I realized that following your eye type and color as well as your other features filling up your eyebrows and trying to get her kind of eyebrows means looking fake or having a not natural looking. So I switched to just fill them up a bit and shape them with two products which are actually my all time favorite make up.
"TIPS ! for having bold eyebrows back.
If you accidentally plucked off more than you should have,
Moisturize them every night with castor oil and some coconut oil. This will improve the naturally growing back of the hair. DON'T pluck them constantly, that makes the hair falling and growing back weak so it tends to fall over again and again making those gaps in your eyebrows.
Epilate your eyebrow, just in the middle or those ending tail hairs which should not being there, with the help of a brow tool , or a spoolie brush, to brush up your brows and with a makeup scissor cut off the longer parts. ! "
Products I use for filling my brows.
Benefits BROW ZINGS
(brow shaping kit)
Light - light blonde to light brown hair
This amazing lil set , comes in three different shades. From the lightest brown to darkest one.
(my shade is the medium shade, which has a reddish tone in it)
32.00 €
What it is:
An eyebrow shaping kit.
What it does:
Benefit Brow Zings comes with all the tools you need for clean, smooth, perfectly-defined brows.
What else you need to know:
The kit includes a soft, pigmented wax that defines and shapes brows and a color complementing setting powder to keep them looking wow, plus discreet tweezers for pesky stray hairs, a hard angle brush, and a blending brush.
COLOR Medium - medium brown and red hair
^ this one is my lil set. and it's perfect for those who has kinda ginger hairs or mahogany.
I love how it goes and the little amount you need for your eyebrows without looking fake effortless looking.
I really love Benefit products , everytime I see some youtubers' review about some new products , It makes me craving for trying it out !.
dark brown to black hair
PROS: long lasting, natural
Goes on easy and doesn't make your brush become caked after one use. It goes on light enough so if you miss a spot, you won't make your brows super dark if you need to reapply. *great packaging
CONS: expensive and not easy to find here in Spain.
BASIC COSMETICS (SCHLECKER DRUGSTORE's cosmetics)
Another amazing product that I am using for controlling my bold eyebrows but still give them a nice shape, is this veeeeeeeeeeeeery cheap mascara !
yeah , you read well. it's a MASCARA .
around 2 €
It's a brown mascara that my mom bought me for Christmas. I think costed around 2€
at the SCHLECKER drugstore,
I was scared at the very beginning because as I read mascara I never thought about use it on my lashes. as I like them black, but ! FEARS OFF , I gave it a burl on my eyebrows and I fell in love how the thing came out.
It looked naturally shaped and bold very natural result !
it's also WATERPROOF , I washed my face and it didn't melt off my eyebrows, it just stayed there !
So, one of my tips would be if you can't find a similar product to benefit , but still are you craving for bold eyebrows, switch to brown mascaras.
PROS: *Waterproof, stays all day, very cheap.
CONS: the shade it's too dark , the spoolie it's made for eyelashes... so it's quite big.
HAIRS
I love very smooth and silk hairs no matter the color.
I usually try on some new fancy colors on my hairs which obviously helps to getting breakage and dryness... NOTHING COOL.
I was looking for some very cheap mask or conditioner, shampoo to restore my dry hairs so I tried out many MANY brands... GARNIER, SALON HITS, REVLON, L'ÓREAL, ...
one day I decided to by in Carrefour grocery store a simple baby's shampoo...
WHAT A DISCOVER !
this is my currently shampoo.
AMALFI BABY SHAMPOO
1€ At Carrefour (spain)
The consistency is like gelly , it smells nice really nice. and your hairs feels absolutely soft after washing. It's a great product ! I know in USA it costs around 7,95 $ which ... is very pricey ! :(
my last but not least favorite of MARCH is this ...
AUSSIE 3 MINUTE MIRACLE FRIZZ RIMEDY
THE BEST MASK EVER TRIED IN MY WHOLE LIFE !
I always tried to avoid any expensive products following the thought , that cheap products also conveys good quality. but occasionally indulge a whim....
this was mine. I bought this jewel at Carrefour for 8,95 € . I know it sounds expensive, and indeed it is. But I read so many good reviews about this products and so here goes mine:
I popped in shower I cleaned my hairs with my baby shampoo, after that I applied my 3minutes aussie mask , I came out of the shower, blew off my hairs and ... VOILÀ soft SOOOOOFT hairs, ! curls and waves all over my hairs BYE BYE split ends!
I was really surprised to find out that not many people like this product. I absolutely love it! After I use it, it makes my hair a LOT less frizzy and makes my curls look more healthy and soft. I'm on my second bottle of it. I use it once a week because I'm afraid it's going to weigh my hair down if I use it more often than that. I might try twice a week though, because of its amazing results.
WELL guys , this was my MARCH favorites
hope you found it useful and let me know if you tried out some of this products and what you think about them.
Kisses bye everyone!
