Salem Makeup "Moon Dust" Translucent Powder


 Last product from Salem Makeup. It is the Moon Dust Translucent Powder. I usually like to go for a dewy look so honesty, I don't really use this type of products often. As you know, this product help you to set your makeup with a matte finish.

I've been trying to use it a little tho, because it came with the set of products I ordered and it'd be sad to waste it. 

As the other products, the concept is all about magic. This one it the most simple out tof the 3 I recieved but it's still pretty and very clean looking. 

I've been using a very small amount of the product, mostly on my T zone but the matte finish only lasts for a couple of hours. The powder is very, very soft and thin(?) and it doesn't have any scent to it.

And well, one thing I find a little annoying about this one is that it is way too messy to use!! Everytime I use it, I have powder flying everywehere!

Is there a technique you would like to share with me to properly use these type of products? I'd love to read! hehe

Salem Makeup "Ouija Evil Cat" Eyeshadow Palette


Here comes another product from Salem Makeup, and it is this Ouija board eyeshadow palette.
It is called Ouija Evil Cat and it coms with 35 different shimmers.


I've been trying some of the colors and they are very pigmented for shimmers. The box is a plastic box, nothing too fancy, but I like the fact that it seals perfectly. It doesn't come with a mirror or brushes.

What can I say about the concept of this palette? It is just too cool, we have the Ouija board on the outside, the instructions of how to use the board on the inside and a sticker that simulates the plaque.



The colors include some earthy shades, golds, purples, pinks and a white one. Surprisingly I didn't use to wear many pink eyeshadows but for a little over a month now, I've been loving them. So even tho I'm not used to wear some of these shades, I've been having fun playing with them. I still need to try some of them tho.





They are pretty pigmented and durablity wise, they are pretty good. The color looks nice throughout the day, but they crease at the end of it. I have to say I never apply eyeshadow primer so, that could be why. 



I think this palette is great, is fun and it's also a cool thing to display. Annnnd, you get lots of quality shadows for a very good price.

Salem Makeup "Face Out" Makeup Remover

Not long ago I discovered a local makeup brand that had two of my favorite things in this world: Makeup and witchy vibes. I love everything magic related so, I had to buy some of their stuff. The brand is called Salem Makeup. I first found them on facabook and their service and attention was great, my package arrived in good conditions and the prices are really, really good.

 The first prouct I wanna show you is their "Face Out" makeup remover.

You know I am not too adventurous when trying makeup removers and cleansers because most of them give me reactions. I'm really glad this one didn't. It contains sesame oil and it leaves the skin super soft after using it.

It has a liquid formula, slightly thick and with an oily finish. Honestly, it removes makeup easily, even waterproof mascara. It has a very soft scent that I don't really know how to describe. But it's not perfumey(?).


What I did was to apply some of the product, rub it on my face and then whipe it all with a cotton pad making sure I don't leave any makeup before washing my face. Like I said, it leaves the skin clean and super, duper soft.

As for the presentation, I freaking love it! It looks like a perfect bottle for potions, haha. I'm defo going to reuse it after I run out of it. Maybe even as a part of my Halloween decor. 

I have other products to show you from this brand. Can't wait to share!

I'll link their facebook and Instagram in case you wanna check them out:

Attack on Titan Kyojin Face Pack | #Beruani


I am super duper excited to share these with you guys cuz I wanted to try them since they came out in Japan long time ago. I want to thank my friend Tomi for sending them. I think they are fun masks to try this month.

You know I love SNK and even tho, titans are no good, these two are defo my favorites. It’s funny how my opinion about them changed as the story went on.

Ok! Where to begin?! I find the presentation and packaging worth mentioning because it has all the SNK vibes going on. It comes with two mask feat. The Colossal Titan and The Female Titan. It’d be fun to try with a significant other. You know, titan power couple, haha.

Once you unfold the package you’ll find information about both of the titans and the story of the show along with some cool pics from the manga. I’ll keep this as a poster thingy, it’s too cool and it’s licensed.




So, both masks have the actual faces of the titans, but aside from the cool looks, they also contain good ingedients such as glycerol, hydrolized collagen and vitamin C to help the skin. It's a win - win thing!

Description: "Refresh your kin and mind. A facepack printed with pattern of The Colossus Titan's face and The Female's titan face, have fun while you attent to your beauty. Three beauty ingredients moistre your skin, leaving it firm and lustrous. Lavender fragrance brings comfort to your body and mind."

As mentioned, they both have a lavender scent and a slightly oily and sticky formula. You can defo feel a very soft and hydrated skin after using them tho. Even a day later, you can still see a healthy glow.

And now, let's just check the masks cuz they are very well made. They look better than costumes! Hehe.

Yes, I saved them after using to take pics...



Colossal Titan


"A mysterious Titan which is estimated to be 60 meters tall, appeared at Shiganshina District and Trost District. He smashed wall Maria, the barrier of humanity and this has tirggered Titans invation. The Colossus titan appeared again in front of Eren and the trainers on their graduation day of the 104th Training Corps. With his thirst for revenge, Eren confronted it. However as happened 5 year ago, the Colossus Titan suddenly disappeared after destroying the gate of the wall, leaving behind nothing but countless of titans."

Not my most flattering, but the mask is worth it.

Female Titan

"This beautiful Titan appeared in front of the Survey Corps during the 57th expedition beyond the walls. It is rare to have a female titan since most titans have male bodies. Being aware of human tactics she defeated a squad leader, Ness. Due to the trap laid by the female titan, the senior soldiers were killed one after another in front of Eren. Even Eren who became a titan was defeated and kidnapped by the Female Titan. It was the strongest human soldiers, Levi and Mikasa who rescued Eren"

All in all, and ignoring that fact that I’m a fan, I really liked these masks. The quality is really good and you do see results after using them. Something I also have to mention is that they were not as big as other sheet masks, I liked that. 

My skin after using the masks.

Sadly, I don’t know when I’ll be able to use them again, but I highly suggest you get them if you have the chance. They are fun to use!

Something Wicked...

Earrings are one of my favorite accessories and, of course, I have special ones for my favorite time of the year. My sister gave me these last December and, I’ve used some of them before, but I’m finally using all of them this month.

They are from EyeCandy Accessories inc and it comes with 9 cute pairs including ghosts, pumpkins, bats, a cat on the moon, moons, spiders, spider webs, cats and gems.

What I like about them is that even tho they are Halloween accessories, they are not too flashy and they are easy to wear on daily basis. Not that I would mind if they were flashy… hehe. You know, it’s a subtle way to wear Halloween even to work.

Smells like... Fall!

Fall to me means: Candles, cozy sweaters, hot drinks and of course, everything pumpkin! And even tho I am not a crazy candle person, I do love one that has a nice and strong scent, powerful enough to fill a room with it. 

A few days ago, while looking for Fall / Halloween stuff at Joi (Canadian dollar store), I came across this Willow & Time pumpkin candle. I don't pay much attention to candles from dollar sotres because most of them smell cheap and have a very subtle scent, but this one was too pumpkin-ish not to pay attention to it. I was impressed with the scent so I decided to take it home with me.


Once I lit the candle at home, it did give a very nice Fall scent to the room, I just love it! It is kinda like smelling a pumpkin spice latte with lots of cinnamon. Yum.

I'll make sure to go back and get more! Tell me guys, do you have a favorite Fall scent?

"Love Spell"


"Cherry Blossom. Fresh Peach. Impossible to resist" 

Hello my witchies! Today I have a love spell for you all, hehe. And it is the Victoria's Secret Love Spell fragrance mist and fragrance lotion. This came together in a set.

I know, I know, it is more of a Spring - Summer scent, but 1: I don't really think of perfumes as something seasonal and, 2: the name is perfect to share during this time of the year. Which is also the main reason why it was gifted to me. 

Love Spell is part of the Secret Garden Collection, it has a fresh and sweet scent. It's a mix of fruits such as peach and apple, and flowers like cherry blossom and jasmine with a slight woody scent to it.

Focusing on the fragrance mist, I am impressed with how long lasting it is for a body mist. Most of them only smell good for a couple of hours before fading away. 

As for the cream, the formula is super lightweight and it absobrs quickly. The scent is slightly sweeter and stronger than the mist. BUT! is not as moistrizing and long lasting. But it was never described as moisturizing so, guess it's ok.

All in all I really like these products, the scent is not too overpowering and they are easy to carry around if you need them.

Plus, I love the name, hehe.
