Freeman Cosmic Holographic Peel-off Mask

Hello sweets!
Time for another Mask Monday.

Today we have the Freeman Cosmic Holographic Peel-off Mask. Yes, another holographic mask cuz they are pretty and hard to resist. Hehe.

This time my bestie Lu and I tried two of the masks they have and were pretty satisfied with them.
Lu tried the Cosmic Hydrating Amethyst Holographic Peel-Off Mask, which is the purple one and, I tried the Cosmic Luminizing Rose Quartz Holographic Peel-Off Mask, the pink one, of course.
They also have a white/silverish one called Cosmic Balancing Moonstone Holographic Peel-Off Mask that I couldn't find... yet.

I really like their presentation because of the colors and the magical, witchy vibe they have.

The Amethyst mask is described as: "Boost your aura and get glowing with this crystal-inspired holographic peel-off mask. This iridescent mask infused with Amethyst hydrates and calms skin for a luminous complexion. Perfect for dry skin."
It's supposed to calm and hydrate the skin, containing amethyst to heal and reduce inflammation for soothed skin.

As for the Rose Quartz mask: "This crystal-inspired holographic peel-off mask infused with Rose Quartz, the “love stone”, removes impurities and illuminates for a brighter complexion. Perfect for all skin types."
Claims to remove impurities and illumninate the skin. The Rose quartz helps soothe and encourage circulation for glowing skin.

Both masks are super thick and sticky with a nice iridescent color and have a subtle scent.

Peeling them off is very satisfying as the come off evenly and you can defo feel they remove impurities as you do it. I kinda felt the peeling wasn't as "gentle" as other peel off masks but, not in a bad way. Does it make sence?

After peeling we didn't see much difference besides a clean face, but we both woke up to a glowy, smooth and healthy looking skin.

I love how these masks are cute and fun to use but, they also do the job.
The amount of product on these (10ml) was enough for one thick application. I believe they have another presentation that can last up to 2 or 3 applications and the big size one.

I don't do peel-off masks often, I've heard that they are not the best options because pulling the skin often can cause wrinkles and lost of elasticity but it's fun to use them every now and then. Plus, they really help to clean your skin.

💋 REVLON Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish | WW84 |

Not long ago, Revlon came up with a Wonder Woman Collection. I recently found out because my bestie Ceci told me about it and I fell for one of the lippies they had which happened to be part of their regular colors, not exclusively for this collection.

I do like Wonder Woman but I like the original one, Linda Carter. She's so pretty and I kinda wanted to be like her when I was a little girl but, to be honest, I didn't even watch the latest movie.
So, having an item from this collection is cool in a way, but it wasn't a must for me.

Long story short, my friend Ceci and I have been talking about these products since late June, when the sales started and she showed me this beautiful lip polish. I fell in love with it and after thinking about it for a while (and hearing great comments from her) I decided to get it.
I looked for it in different stores but it was sold out everywhere, and I really, really wanted to get in in the 2x1. Ceci found it in the Wonder Woman version, which wasn't part of the sales, and was kind enough to get it for me. That is why I ended up having something from this collection.

Product description:
"Finally, a liquid lipstick that delivers the high-pigment, high-shine lacquer finish you’ve been waiting for—in a non-feathering formula that doesn’t settle into lip lines or creases."

I don't wear many glossy lippies now but they give me 90s vibes! Is not that I don't like them but I don't like the sticky feeling most of them have. This one feels like a mix of both, liquid lipstick and lipgloss.

The shade is called "Birthday Suit" (925) and I'd descibe it as one of those my lips but better kind of color. It's a mauve nude, perfect for every day and I think it suits any skin tone beautifully.

Even tho it has a thick formula, the product is pigmented enough to look even with just one layer so it doesn't feel heavy on the lips. It is sticky, but not as sticky as others. The color is really shiny and even tho it is not meant to be a super long lasting lippie, it wears out nicely and evenly.
The application is clean and easy.

It has a nice fruity, sweet scent that is not too strong, I really like it but then again, keep that in mind before buying.

All in all, I really like it. And there are many beautiful colors from this line so, defo check them out!

Random but, I've been using this nail polish from Flormar a lot lately and even tho it looks a little lighter in the bottle, once applied it matches this lippie perfectly. I love them together, haha.

💋 Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink | Review & Swatches |

You might recognize these babies from my latest drugstore haul, they are the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink.

This lippies are described as: "Intensely perfect, perfectly intense. Ink your lips in up to 16 HR saturated liquid matte."

It's usually hard for me to use matte liquid lippies because they always accentuate my lip lines and how chapped they are but what I noticed with these ones is that it doesn't happen. Even tho they have a matte finish, they also have a thick creamy formula that makes my lips look smooth. It is a bit sticky at the beginning, but that fades once the product dries on the lips.

They are very pigmented, there's no need to apply many layers to get the desired color. I also find the application to be easier than other liquid lipsticks. It might be because of the shape of the applicator.

It is true when they say it lasts for 16 hours, even if you eat and drink. The only part that kinda wears off a little as you eat is the inner part of the lips, but you don't need to retouch every couple of hours. Also, they are transfer proof once they set on the lips.
I'd defo go for one of these if I know I'll be busy all day with no time to worry about my makeup. Perfect for work and events.

They do have a sweet scent, kinda like vanilla or... cookies! Haha. It's not something that bothers me but, gotta keep that in mind if you don't like scented products.

Something I noticed is that the formula looks ugly if you apply lipbalm before the product, it kinda breaks and becomes rubbery. I usually do this with other lipsticks but it doesn't work well with these particular ones.

After all that, let's check the 2 shades I got:

The first one is #10 "Dreamer", which is a really pretty cold pink. I love how it looks on the package and I really like the color. I just don't know if I like how it looks on my lips. It's paler than what I usually wear.

The other is #125 "Inspirer", this is a soft, medium pink. Kinda like a... strawberry pink! I love everything about this color. I think it's perfect for an everyday look.

       
I only bought those two because I wanted to try them first. I think they are worth it tho. And they have a really nice variety of colors. I would defo get more and maybe try other shades rather than just pink.

Let your skin glow! Revlon Photoready Rose Glow Hydrating Primer

I've been using this product for a while now and after repurchasing it, I realized that I never actually shared it here, which is weird because I like it a lot.

The Revlon Photoready Rose Glow Hydrating Primer "001 Rose Quartz" has been one of my favorite primers for a little over a year now because of the beautiful glow it gives to my skin and makeup.

Product description:
"Super-lightweight this one boost skin radiance for a lit-up finish.
Water-based and infused with nourishing oil-beads to leave skin hydrated for 24 hours."

It is true its water-based formua is super lightweight and it absorbs into the skin pretty quick. The oil-beads melt as you apply the product, leaving a slightly sticky feeling that fades away after a couple of minutes.

Even tho it looks really pink when you first see it, it only leaves a nice golden glow once it's applied on the skin, it doesn't change or affect the color of your base makeup. Since it's a primer, you have to apply it before your base and something that I've noticed, even if it's not mentioned in the product description, is that it minimizes my pores too.

It has a very soft rose scent that I have to say, it is not my favorite but, it goes away after a while.
I have some matte foundations and I like to use this product with them because I usually like to go for a dewy, glowy skin look. It's also great to use when your skin is not looking its best and you want a little pick-me-up, even without makeup. I get many compliments on my skin whenever I use this product.

I want to mention that the glow it gives you it's not like an oily shine kind of thing. I have combination skin but I do think this product can work for skin types too. It is very gentle and the effect it gives is soft and it kinda highlights the right spots on your skin, making it look healthy and radiant. And if you want, you can only apply it on certain spots as a highlighter.

Left: Face without the primer.
Right: Face after applying the primer.

This is how my makeup looks after using the primer.
I didn't use any highlighter.

It is very long lasting! I'm not sure about 24hrs but the effect on my skin lasts throughout the day, and that is something I appreciate.

The applicaton is really clean and easy, since it comes with a dropper and, you don't need to use too much product to get a nice finish. A little goes a long way. I think one bottle lasted me a whole year.

I also gave one to my aunt when I first bought it and she loved it too! Now we repurchase it everytime we run out of it because, it really is a must.

Mom's Favorites 2020 | Beauty & Makeup |

Today is my mom's birthday so I thought it'd be the perfect time to share this post we had in mind for a couple of months now. We have many things in common, she's the one to blame for my big love for coffee but, we like different things when it comes to makeup. 
Here you'll find some of her favorite beauty and makeup products, some of them are different from what I usually share so, I hope you enjoy!

Let's get to it!

There are so many products that are my favorites and I'm going to share them with you today.
Let's start with...

♥ Beauty

Even tho I can go for a fucsia lipstick every now and then, red is my favorite when it comes to lipsticks.

I love lipsticks from Essence and Makeup Revolution, brands I discovered in Spain in my favorite perfumery, Druni.

Essence Matt Matt Matt #06 "Kiss me if you can"
Essence Ultra Last Instant colour #11 "Cherry Sweet"

This one from Sephora is one of my favorite red lipsticks. It is creamy and it is very long lasting. This shade is the "It" shade of red for me and it is very affordable.

Sephora #Lipstories "A little magic"

And these are from Miniso, they are Korean and they last throughout the whole day. They are creamy and very hydrating.

01 "Rosy Red" and 03 "Mermaid Pink"

Bourjois is a French brand I also discovered in Spain. Their pressed powder and foundation are amazing!

#53 "Golden Beige"

"123 perfect" with SPF10 and 24h hydration

I really like MAC blushes. One was a gift from my daughter and I bought the other one.

We also have this one from Physicians Fromula which is a lot softer and delicate.

Another brand I really like is Astor. It is a German brand by Heidi Klum, their lipsticks and blushes are super!

♥ Nails

Essence Nail polishes are wonderful, and their colors are always in season.

♥ Skincare

I don't buy facemasks but my daughter has given me some from Tonyoly and they are spectacular! I love it when she gives them to me.

Korean Sheet masks from TonyMoly and Celavi

Moving on to creams, I love these ones that my daughter brought from Canada. I hate to have dry hands. These creams not only help me to have soft, hydrated hands for a long time, but they also have a nice scent that lasts for a long time.

Lastly we have, lipbalm. This is the one I'm currently using, it was a gift from Michee.
Love it!

♥ Perfume

I love perfumes! Especially herbal and citrus fragrances with a hint of florals. No sweet scents.
These two have a foral scent, different to the ones I usually go for but I love them.

Narciso Rodriguez "Narciso"
Gucci "Bloom"

There you go, we both hope you really enjoyed this post, let us know if you' like to read more posts like this.
