🍑 Fruity Spring! 🍉

Hello sweets!

Today I have a mini Spring haul type of post. Considering Spring is here and it's all about the happy and bright colors I decided to go all fruity! (I'm not really a flower person so...yeah. Fruits will do)

I recently started buying some AVON products again, mainly because it's easier for me to just order things instead of going out to buy them~ #WorkingLife. 

First are these two super fun AVON Color Trend Nail polishes, they are both fruit inspired and I think they will be perfect for the Spring/Summer season and a good addition to the nail polish family. 

I was expecting to recieve 3 of them but they didn't have the other color I asked for. 

The ones I got are "Watermelon" and "Kiwi". I'm really looking forward to use them!

Watermelon

Kiwi

Next is the AVON Color Trend lipstick in "Peach."

At first I thought it would be more of a...well, peachy, orange-ish color but it actually is a really beautiful soft pink with a slight hint of a coral tone. It is supposed to be a hydrating lippie.

It is very sheer and creamy.

Lastly, I bought some fruit nail accessories that...I'm not even sure if I'm gonna use all of them but I definitely want to use the watermelon and kiwi with my nail polishes. They are absolutely adorable and colorful. Best thing was, they were super duper cheap.

And, that is it for my mini spring fruity haul. I don't even know where that love for fruits is coming from but yeah, I'll enjoy it for now!

What are you going for this Spring? Flowers? Fruits? Colorful bugs? (lol) Let me know!!

Beauty Haul: Avon, Flormar and Korean face masks

Hello sweeties!

These past few weeks I had the impulse to buy makeup and skin care stuff again, whithout noticing, I managed to have enough to make a little Haul for you!
I haven't had the time to really just go shopping and but things so, I've been ordering some stuff...I'm still in the process of trying and testing so, more info to come when I do that.

Let's take a look!

~ AvonUltra Luxury Eye Liner: in Black. Out of all the eye liners I've used so far this it the one to keeps me away from looking like a raccoon by the end of the day. I like the twist thingy version of it but, oh well. It'll be next time.

~ Avon Crystal Nailwear Pro +: In the color Silver Crystals. I just looooove how this color looks! you know I can always fall for glitter nail polishes and this one wasn't an exception. I really can't wait to use this baby! Many colors from this collection are super pretty! I need more! #Bwahaha

~ Flormar Matte Nail Enamel:: I showed you guys some of the nail polishes I got shom this Turkish brand. The colors are definitely beautiful. This matte collection is also great! I like matte polishes but I only got one to see how good this one was. (I've had bad experiences with matte polishes before) This one is called Burgundy in Matte and it's a blood-type kinda red that I think would be perfect for Halloween season.

~ Flormar SuperShine lipstck: in Summer in Paris (513). Yup, I'm buying more corals...hehe. I've used this one a couple of times now, it is not super long lasting and the color is a little pearl-ish. I did not expected that. It is still really pretty tho. The one thing I don't like is that it makes my dry lips look well...dry! Even if I apply some lipbalm before the color.

~ Korean facemask from G&S Cosmetics and Y.E.T: I've used the Y.E.T ones before but I'm extra excited about the animal mask and the black mask. I really wanted to try black masks for a while now. Animal masks are always fun!

~ Neutrogena Fresh Foaming Cleanser: which also works as a makeup remover. This is one great, great product but I'll get to it in a separate post. Maybe an updated cleansing routine?

And this is it for this beauty haul! Than again, sorry for being so absent in here but the blogging muse still refuses to go back to work. #LazyAsTheMaster~~~ hohoho

Collective Beauty Haul

Hello my loves!
Here comes a little collective beauty haul with products I've been buying lately. I kinda want to spend a little more on beauty and skin care products than makeup for now. I just have too much makeup I don't use! (yet, I did bought one or two makeup products...what to do?!)

Let's take a look!

♥ Welcos Killing Me Zombie B.B. Cream:
I'll start with the brand, Welcos is a Korean company that makes beauty products. Honestly, I never heard of it or read about it until I got the BB Cream. The main reason why I bought it was because of the package~~~ yeah. I mean, I needed a BB cream but I wanted that one because of the whole "zombie" thing. (you know, halloween lover here!)
It contains 50ml, and has 3 functions: whitening, UV-block (SPF50+) and wrinkle care. It does have a soft scent to it. Scents are not always my favorites on makeup but, this one is not something I can't deal with. The texture is a little thick, but once you apply it and blend it, it becomes lighter.
As far as I know, it only comes in one color. The color is light. It matches my skin tone pretty well, and it leaves a dewy finish. The coverage is decent but it's not that great if you compare it with Missha's BB cream or Skin 79. (Not saying it's bad tho!)
I don't regret buying it tho! I really enjoy trying new products and getting to know new brands.

♥ Avon Glimmersticks eyeliner 1. Blackest Black:
Wow, I can't remember the last time I ordered some stuff from Avon.
Anyways, I forgot how good these eyeliners are! And I was actually having trouble with other eyeliners because of the hot weather, I was looking like a raccoon by the end of the day! And that was not a cute look at all. So, the color is really a good black, the applicator is one of those twist thingies which I really like and it applies so smoothly. Plus, the price is really good. I like!

♥ Avon ClearSkin Pore Penetrating Scrub: This was the other thing I ordered. I've been loving this scrub for many years now and I still do. It leaves your skin looking and feeling so clean and fresh! It is kinda dry so you can feel the pearls working but at the same time is gentle to my skin. Perfect combination! Hehe. It has this slight mint-ish feel to it so yeah, extra freshness on you face. I have a thing for those kind of products. When they make you feel SO fresh, almost like a cooling effect...
Highly recommend this product!

♥ Organix Beauty Pure & Simple (OGX) Fight Fallout + Niacin 3 & Caffeine Conditioner (wow, such a long name!): It is not my first time using this brand's conditioner but I kinda use them for some time and then stop, and then go back to them and yeah. On & off. I've tried different types depending on what my hair needs at the moment. This time I wanted a product that could help my hair repair from sun damage and styling tools.
It claims to "Idulge your scalp by massaging this powrful blend with Niacin & caffeine, AlphaHydroxy Acid and natural DHT blocker, to encourage a healthy scalp environment and help prevent hair fallout caused by brakage"
And, it has that cooling effect on your scalp once you use it. I like the feeling and my hair looks and feels healthier after using it 3 times a week.

♥ L'oreal Paris Hydra-Total 5 Toner: This is my first time buying a toner, but I've heard so many good things about this one in particular that I decided to give it a try. It says it: Tones, removes impurities, evens skin tone, illuminates and smoothes.
The smell is really soft and the texture is just liquid. I picked the one for Dry-sensitive skin because well, my skin is way too sensitive.

♥ VOV Lipstick Rush/Lipbalm 01: I haven't find much info on this particular lippie and since most of the stuff in the package are in Korean, it's hard for me to know the exact name of the line, or even the color! All I know is it says "Moisturize" and "Crystal" So yeah, two hints in there!
Since the color was a mystery, I had the surprise that I actually liked it! It looks a little darker and kinda pearlish when you see it but once you apply it is soft and the pearls add a nice, subtle glossiness to the lips without looking like too much. You know what I mean?
It is long lasting and it does have a moisturizing effect.

And that'll be it for now loves! I still need to try (or use more) some of these products so, maybe I'll make separate posts about them.
And if you have some suggestions as in what skin care products I should try, please let me know and I'd love to give them a try!
Until next time! xx

My Simple Everyday Makeup.

Hello sweets!

Today I'm gonna show you my super simple everyday makeup. This one is especially for my sweet friend Jaydee.

As time goes by I feel like less is more when it comes to makeup, so I think this look would be easy to create if you're starting with makeup or if you don't feel like using too many products or tricky techniques.
This is what I usually do with my makeup for work, it also takes me only about 15 minutes to do it so, it is really a good option for those who have not much time in the mornings.

I've been obsessing over lip tints and gradient lips lately!

Here are the products I used:

♥ Garnier BB Cream. Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector. In "light/Medium". I have to say that this is /not/ my favorite BB Cream to use (not saying it's bad though) but after trying some Korean BB Creams, others just don't feel the same. I'm basically using this one to finish it. I would feel bad throwing it away if it still has product left. The coverage is good but the color is a bit too dark for my skin tone~

♥ Beauty Control Extra Help Concealer. In "light" My dad gave me a few of this a while ago and sadly I'm running out of this one and since I don't know where to find it, I'll have to try a new concealer. This one is very thick, that's why I use just a little of it. It's a really good concealer though.

♥ Etude House Baby Doll Puff. Aside from being really cute, beauty blenders help you to have a more natural finish when applying your foundation, concealer, etc.

♥ Meilaya Pressed Powder. This is a Chinese brand, don't know if it's well known or not but it works good for me.

♥ CoverGirl Brush

♥ Kiotis Colors Brow Pencil "coffee"

♥ Kiotis Brow gel

♥ L.A. Colors Eye liner "Deepest Brown"

♥ L.A. Colors Eye Liner (AE665) "White"

♥ TonyMoly Cats Wink Mascara

♥ L,A. Colors Simmering Loose Eyeshadow w/brush in (SE111) "Snow White"

♥ Blush in "Rose Silk"

♥ Maybelline New York Baby Lips. 30 "Peach Kiss" Since I always have very dry and chapped lips, I try to apply a lip balm before lipstick. It has a very neutral color. Baby Lips + Orange/Coralish lip tins = ♥ hehe,

♥ Etude House Color Pop Shine Tint. #03 "Vita Pop!"

I hope you guys liked this look, I'm leaving the video version down below for those who are not really into reading and feel more like watching.

This is also my first makeup related video ever! I'm not too sure how I feel about it though and I'm sorry for the bad audio~ I'm still learning a lot about editing. Hehe. What do you guys think? 

Clean Skin! My skin care routine. Day / Night.

Hi hi sweets!
I know some of us are looking for the perfect skin look. I include myself on that! I don't think I have a perfect sking or anything but the skincare routine I've been having since last year has been working really well for me and I've seen a big difference on my face.

I used to be soooooo lazy when it came to washing my face everyday, removing my makeup every night before going to bed, and I know that if I had started at an earlier age, my skin would look way better now than it actually does. So if you're on your early 20s, take care of your skin, create a routine that works for you and you'll see a huge improvement on your skin.

I think the biggest secret for a good skin would be to keep it clean. Make sute to wash your face everyday, at least before going to bed to remove all the dust, makeup, etc of the day. 

So, I'm gonna share with you guys the routine that has been working for me. I do this every morning and every night. No matter how lazy I feel or how late it is. I came to the point that if I don't keep my face clean, I feel guilty~~~~

My skin is slightly oily so, this works for my skin type. Keep in mind that products could change depending on your skin type and needs. I also have super sensitive skin, so it is hard for me to change products because most of them irritate my skin and cause break outs.

 DAY ROUTINE:

I wash my face every morning with cold water. The cold water helps me to depuff my sleepy eyes and face and well...to wake up!

In the mornings I use a scrub soap bar from Vitacilina. This is not a fancy or expensive brand, actually it is super cheap and can be found at Walmart.
They have like 3 different types of soaps but I picked the exfoliating one. It is really soft and gentle to my skin. I've been using it for over a year now and I'm thinking about continue using it.

After washing my face, I apply some hydrating cream. I'm currently using the Teatrical one. which is a little thick at first but, it absorbs really fast and keeps my skin soft and moist all day.

That's it for my cleansing routine in the morning. Most of the time I also try to apply some sunscreen. I'm using the Mary Kay SunCare with SPF50, but from some time now I don't love it anymore cuz it makes my skin feel too cakey once I apply my makeup.

NIGHT ROUTINE:

Before washing my face I remove my makeup using the Missha Super Aqua Cleansing Tissues.
Once I have a makeup free face, I wash my face with my Missha Green Tea Latte Cleansing Foam and gently massage it with my Etude House Wonder Pore brush for a better and deep cleaning.

After that, I apply a few drops of the Kiotis Paris Pavanelle Intensive Facial Treatment (which is almost over now) and massage my face for a few seconds, and them I put on some cream. I have to say I'm not using a night cream at the moment because I want to finish the Garnier Essential Care (this one is really light and fresh) but once I'm done with it I'll start with my first night cream ever.

And, this is what I do everyday!
Also, twice I week I exfoliate my face using the Avon ClearSkin Pore Penetrating Scrub and, I /try/  to use a face mask sheet at least once a week. (Usually DERMAL or The Cure but, I'm about to try new brands!)
Using the masks regularly, makes my skin glow in a very pretty and natural way.

I ran out of The Cure and DERMAL masks, but these are some I'm about to try. Missha & VANEDO

I hope this helps somehow. You can always create your own routine adding or changing some products. Whatever works for you!
