Tonymoly Banana Hand Milk Cream Review

Received this today and it's so cute^^ haha, you might have guessed that the main reason I purchased it is because of the banana design. It's really creative of Tonymoly to make this design. Makes it difficult for a hoarder like me to resist buying it -.-

It has a sweet banana smell, not too overpowering and sinks fast into the skin without leaving a greasy, sticky feeling. It is also easy to bring with you in your handbag because of the small size.

Etude House Fantastic Color Eyes Rose Garden Eyeshadow Palette Review

I have mostly brown, neutral eyeshadows. When I saw that Etude House has released two limited spring eyeshadow palettes with vivid pink and coral colors I knew I had to get one before they got sold out.

They have two different palettes; Rose garden and Cherry blossom. I wanted both, but went for Rose garden at the end because the colours are warmer and it would suit my warm skintone better. But the Cherry blossom palette is too pretty to be passed onT.T Maybe I'll buy it later >.<

The prize is good for a palette of six colours.

The size of the palette:

 It's actually small in size and lightweight, which makes it easy take it with you. The case is made of plastic and has mirror inside. The thing I like about Etude House is that their products have girly and cute designs*.*

 The name of the six shades. All the colours looks nice. Hard to choose one favourite, but I decided to get this palette instead of the Cherry blossom palette is because of the shade Juliette, Vintage rose and Handtied.

Taken in daylight:

 Juliette is a light, shimmery pink shade that I will use for highlights, on it's own or as a base.

Honey Bouquet is quite shimmery compared to the other colours. 

Handtied, Vintage Rose and My girl are the colours I'm very excited to try! I have never used red/pink eyeshadow before because I tend to go for the neutral look. But it's always nice to try something new.

I am quite satisfied with this palette. Finally I have an eyeshadow palette with other colours than just brown:P It's perfect for spring and summer.

My Winter Skincare Routine

Lately I have been obsessed with skincare and makeup. Bought too much that I want to try:-X
I think it's because of winter. I have combination skin that leans slightly on the dry side. My skin tends to get drier in winter and it's a bad combination with foundationT.T I also get blemishes so I have been searching for a good coverage foundation, but they tend to dry my skin. I also have been going crazy searching for a nice moisturiser to counterattack that. Let's see how it went...

After hauling a bit of skincare and makeup especially in dec-january, I decided to make this post to keep track of my skincare routine. I have used the products mentioned in this post for over 1 month and I like them.

Moisture regime

After cleansing I like to use the Hada Labo lotion. Have used this for almost 3 years now and it's still going strong. It's very lightweight and moisturising. But it's not enough for the winter, so I now have also incorporated the Green tea cream from Origins to my moisture routine. It feels kind of heavy and oily when I put it on, but fortunately it sinks into the skin fast. Leaves a lightweight, non-greasy feeling after it's absorbed. 

Skincare regime

I usually don't use body lotion, too lazy xD But I think it's good to also take care of the body. 

I'm currently switch-use between Origins green tea body lotion and the Shea body lotion from the Body shop. Both of these are moisturising and smells nice! Love to lay in bed with soothing shea scent. 

Cleansing regime

I always make sure to take off my makeup. I think this is a most important part of skincare. When the pores are clogged with makeup, you won't get nice skin no matter how expensive or goodworking product you use because it can't absorb it. I use a triple cleanse routine to make sure to remove all makeup once for all. I always begin with using cleansing wipes to take off ''heavy'' makeup e.g. foundation, eyemakeup. I use the Clinique take-the-day-off remover for eyemakeup. 

After that I use my go to foundation-remover, the Mac cleanse off oil and massage it gently all over the face, except the eye area. I find it non-drying and effective. Afterwards I use a gentle but good foam cleanser (I forgot to take it with me in the photo).

Latest addition in my makeup pouch:

The famous Anastasia contour kit! Got inspired by contouring videos on Youtube. I have seen many good contouring, they look like another person:-O I wanted to see if I could change my face too haha:P Unfortunately, I'm just an makeup amateurxD Nonetheless, I think contouring is fun, especially the slimming the face line and highlighting part. It definitely makes a difference. A short review of this palette will be up soon but I recommend to try it if you are into contouring.

My current perfumes:

Used alot of these two this winter. The D&G smells so good! The Juicy couture was a Christmas present. It has a sweet, playful scent. 

That's my winter skincare routine. I hope it's not alot of products I usexD But these are my long-time favourites. Tell me what you think and what are your favourite products?

The Body Shop Body Sorbet review

Today's review is body shops new moisturising line. the body sorbet. It comes in 5 different fruits/berries; Mango, strawberry, satsuma, pink grapefruit and moringa. They all smells so good, really fruity. Makes it difficult to choose which one to go for! I went for mango and strawberry in the end.

According to the description on the product, it's supposed to be a light, fruity and cool moisturiser. The texture is soft and sorbet like. Nice to apply. It smells nice, and it gives a refreshing coldness feeling on the skin after applying. 

I think the strawberry smells very sweet, maybe too sweet...while the mango is in between, not too sweet or too bland. It has the right amount of sweetness:P Mango is my favourite for now.

This is a good moisturiser for summer because of it's lightweightness and cooling properties. 

Actually, I think it's lighter than their body lotions. It absorbs quickly and the cooling sensation reminds me of their satsuma body lotion. 

I recommend it if you want a lightweight, nice smelling and refreshing moisturiser for summer.

Beauty Favourites in the Past and This month

I want to start to post monthly beauty and health favourites, because I love trying new pampering products and think it's ok to document their effects and remind me about what I focused mostly on in the different months. This month I have bath, handcream and lip products craze. Guess it's because of the cold weather. The hands tend to get dry and I like taking warm baths when coming home from the cold outside. Here we go:

Favourite hand creams:

Crabtree & Evelyn

I was so lucky to get this set with 6 x hand creams on sale! I wanted to try their hand creams for a long time, but they were kind of expensive. Now I can't get enough of it. Their nice smelling, moisturising and non-greasy. My favourite is Gardeners Hand therapy, Avocado and La Source. Because their scent is so nice!

For Lips:

Lip balms from CanMake

Nice design, moisturising and sheer effect. My favourite type^^

 Dior Lip Glow

Moisturising, cute light pink colored lip balm. Hygienic and nice to look at. Review coming up later. 

Favourite for bath:

Shower Gels from I Love...

I love nice smelling body care products. This cute set with 6 different scents makes it easy to choose the one I want to use according to my mood. Their my favourite because their scent lingers on after getting out of the shower, it's like mild perfume^^

Keep Calm and Listen to Music

I have started with my last internship, at the hospital. It's different and exciting, but at the same time it's tiring.

I think it's because of waking up early in the morning and if that isn't enough, I also use all my energy to concentrate and stress with doing the right things at the hospital. At the end of the day, I feel so exhausted. Starting to sleep earlier now, trying to not go to bed later than 10 pm-.- 

On the other side, I have replaced my old Koss Porta Pro headphone with no other than Bose Quietcomfort 15=D I have longed for it for a long time, but the price kept me away from it...until now, that I decided I have to listen to music with better headphones than the iPhone ones'.

The reason I went with Bose Q15 is also mainly because of it's noise canceling feature. Sounds pretty cool, ne:P I read reviews that it works nicely on airplanes, and since I travel to China alot and the airplane sound is going to stay with me for 9h+ I decided to go with this. 

After listening to my iPhone music with it the past days, I think I made a good investment^^ 

The noise canceling works nice. It doesn't take away all the noises, I can still hear my parents nagging, but it takes away unneccessary noises, e.g. from tv, dishwasher, etc. I didn't even hear the telephone ring:P  

I would say that the music sounds clearer because disturbing noises is taken away.

However, I personally think the bass is a bit weak compared to my Koss headphones. Wished it was more powerful. But maybe it's because of the iPhone, because when I use the Bose with my laptop and change the equalizers the music sounds quite good. Still, I think it's a nice headphone and I can't wait  to use the noise canceling when I travel later this summer=P

Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray review

I have to start posting more reviews, since I try too much different cosmetic products. 

Since I use Mineral powder foundation, they tend sometimes to make my skin look dry or cakey. Because of that, a moisturising face spray is a must-have item for me, personally, especially in the winter.

There are many face spray with different properties. Some moisturises, while others make the make-up last longer.

I have tried two facial sprays, one from Clarins and this one. Currently I'm using this one from Clinique because it's cheaper and it's more. 

On to the review:

Purpose

A facial spray that is supposed to replenish dry skin and restore moisture. It soothes and leaves skin soft and smooth feeling. Can be used over or under make-up.  It's oil free! (all this written is taken from the package). Contains aloe vera, known for it's soothing properties.

What I feel it does

When I use it before I put my makeup on, my skin feels soft and moistured. But when I spray it on my face after I have put my makeup on, I feel that it gives my skin some moisture. Not alot compared to when I use it before I put my makeup on. I like the refreshing, light feeling when I use it on my face. The product gets absorbed quickly by the skin. Doesn't leave a sticky or greasy feeling. The spray isn't very concentrated, which doesn't make it feel like you splash ''water'' on your face and be afraid that you may wash away your foundation-.- The spray covers alot so I don't need to hold it very far away from my face.

It also lasts long. I have used this everyday, for 3 months and it isn't even halfway through!

Scent: According to them, it's 100% fragrance free. I can't smell anything, so yes, I think that's right:)

Positive points

- Big bottle, 125 ml. Last for a long time. 

- Not very expensive.

- Gives light moisture.

- Feels light on the skin.

- Pink bottle :P

- Oil-free.

- Fragrance free.

Negative points 

- Moisturizes lightly, needs touch-ups during the day.

Conclusion

I feel it gives a light moisture, but if I spray a few more times, my skin gets pretty well hydrated. 

I think I'll buy it again, but I also want to try other facial sprays:P Positive points that it haven't irritated my skin^^

Bliss Lemon Sage Body Butter Cream Review

Bought this after coming home from China and noticed that my skin was getting dryer and dryer because of the cold weather:-(

It comes in a practical large blue tube. What I like best about this moisturiser are the scent of fresh, citrustic lemon. Honestly, it's the main reason I decided to buy it, sold right away! My personal experience is that body butters tend to be richer than lotions, but this body butter is easily absorbed by the skin without leaving a greasy feeling^^ Although it's pricey, I think it's a nice, fresh body butter for dry skin. I, personally, is going to start to use this wonder everyday!

Plus points:
- Paraben free
- Contains vit.e and coconut oil for moisture and nourishment.
- Absorbs quickly.
- No greasy feeling.

Minus:
- If you are not fan of citrus scent, or lemon.
- Expensive.

TBS Strawberry Body Butter review

I have recently joined the TBS wagon because I want to be kind to my skin after the drying winter weather-.-) and dry bare skin and light, summer clothes are not best friends.
Since The Body Shop is quite popular, especially their body butters, I become curious and wanted to try to see for myself what they might do to my skin. I also like that their products are natural and not tested on animals. Do I also need to mention that most of their products smells delicious! 


Well, no more chitchat, let's get right to the point: first review of my first body butter from TBS: 

The Strawberry Body Butter

I originally was deciding on buying the lemon body butter, because I like the citrustic, lemony fragrance, but to my disappointment I didn't liked the scent, so I decided to go for the strawberry body butter because it had a nice scent^^

I was lucky to get a bigger version with almost the same price as the original one. Mine is 300 ml:D hehe, more for me to use! It's intended for normal to dry skin. 

The Scent: Strawberry like, a mix of cotton candy and sweet strawberry scent. Sugary, candylike, very girlylike. (excuse the weird use of words to describe the scent) The scent lingers onto the next day and may linger onto your clothes.

The Formula: Looks solid in the jar, but once you dip your hands into the butter, it becomes soft and ''melts'' on the skin. Easy to smooth out, very moisturising^^ It took some time to sink into the skin, but although it did, I felt that it left a greasy feeling on the skin. Bearable, but I could feel that there was something on my skin if I ran my fingers over-.- Contains shea butter.

Moisture power: 5/5

Conclusion: I think this is a great moisturising body butter for the winter season, but maybe not that great for warmer seasons because of the greasiness. It smells nice and the scent doesn't fade away quickly. I will definitely try more of TBS body butters and their other products^^

Mac Cremesheen Lipstick in Lickable

This is not going to be a usual review, mostly just a product description:P Well then...

Bought this a few days ago. I have never been fan of lipstick, always thought that it was for older ladies, but I know I'm wrong! This was just weirdo me thinking for myself. Since my lips are originally pale, I wanted something to give the lips a slight hint of colour so I don't look washed out. I'm too sissy to go all full colour, but I wanted a kind of pink lipstick with slightly some red colour(difficult to explain). 


As you may know, Mac have plenty of lipstick colours to choose from + the different formulas which I didn't know anything about-.-!. I didn't do any research about their lipsticks, it was kind of take-a-chance-buyxP I tried some of their nudes, but didn't like them although the SA said they were quite popular, but nah, don't suit my taste.
After spending almost 15 minutes picking and testing different colours on my hand, there was one that caught my eye! I tried it on my lips and liked the colour! It wasn't pink and wasn't red, a kind of hot pink colour, and that was the colour I was looking for. The name is questionable, Lickable. According to their online site, it's a bright blue-pink colour. For me, I think Hot-pink best describes the colour.

Taken in daylight.

I'm glad that I managed to find a colour that I wanted and didn't make me look ridiculous. And I must shamefully say that I'm quite proud of myself that I managed to find the colour I was looking for, and in addition to that I didn't went wrong with the formula without doing any research beforehand or past experience with lipsticks! Out of their 8 different formulas I picked the cremesheen formula which is suitable for dry lips because of their creamy formula. Although I must say that I can't use this alone without a lip balm underneath. The colour is sharp and clean, very pigmented. But I prefer to use this as a lip tint by dabbing it lightly on my lips with my fingers or put it lightly on=P

Sry for the poor quality, but this is close to how it looks in reality.

Over to the lipstick:


Colour: Hot-pink kind of. Sharp and pigmented. 
Formula: Creamy.
Lasting power: Good, but may tend to smear off on cups, etc.


Overall, I have only tried this lipstick from Mac, but seeing good reviews about their lipsticks on different blogging sites I think this is not going to be my only lipstick from them. I'm thinking about trying their Lustre or Amplified formula because I have heard that they are moisturizing and well-pigmented. There's also a colour that I already has my eyes set on; Speak Louder. I think it's a slightly lighter colour version of lickable. May check it out next time I'm going to a Mac counter.

Bareminerals Full Flawless Face Brush review

I ordered this someday ago on Ebay, because it's like 50% cheaper than store-prices. Bought this for £10,95.
I chose this brush because I'm using their mineral foundation, and they recommended it to be used with this brush for best results, so I was curious because I find sometimes the Kabuki brush from The Body Shop gives me a little-bit cakey finish, although I'm not 100 % sure that it's because of the brush...but nevertheless I wanted to see if brushes from the same foundation brand might be much better because they are made to ''fulfill'' each other (that is what I think).

I have used this for one week now, and I must say I quite like it:)
The bristles are very soft, and they catch the powder nicely. It's like the powder is automatically sticking to the brush hair. I will say it's much better than the Body Shop Kabuki Bronzing brush.
The Full flawless brush expands when I swirl the product around the lock, which makes it great for mixing and blending the foundation. It's also easy to use for buffing. If I want to cover a large area (cheeks, whatelse lol!) faster, I just put a little pressure on the brush and it expands. This is nice for controlling how you like to apply the product, and I find it easy to use on small corner areas too, like the side of the nose.

Finish:
It looks less cakey, and my skin looks smoother after applying the product with this brush^^
The coverage is also good, and buildable with the help of this brush.


Any negatives? Hm...the only thing I would put a little criticism on is that the first time I used it, one strand of hair from the brush fell off-.-) It makes me question the brush's quality, but fortunately I'm ok with it's performance so far...

Conclusion:
So far, I like how well this brush picks up the foundation and it's blending/buffing abilities. The finish on my skin looks less cakey and it covers better. With this said, I'm not hating on my Body Shop Kabuki Brush, but for now, I prefer using this brush;) But I'm curious how this brush will be like, if I wash it once...hm...


* I washed it a week ago, and to my surprise and liking the brush is still soft and nice like new=D I have also ordered one more^^ 

Clinique: Liquid Facial Soap Extra-Mild review

This is one of the many cleansers which I tried when my skin was at worst. 
I wanted something gentle but effective at the same time. For that, I wanted to try a cleanser from a HG brand, and decided to give Clinique a try because 1) it's a well-known, established brand, 2) Their products are allergy tested, 100% fragrance free according to them, and 3) the three step system which seems really good. 


I told the SA that I wanted a mild, non-drying cleanser for my skin because I didn't wanted to aggravate my acne anymore with harsh products. She recommended me the Clinique Liquid Facial Soap; extra-mild. She said it would not dry out my skin. On the bottle it's stated that it's for ''dry to very dry skin. Non-drying and leaves skin clean and comfortable''.

I decided to give it a try because I was sold right away when I heard the words ''Extra-mild''...
Yes, this might work for my sensitive, irritated skin I thought, walking happily home with my purchase.
I didn't know how wrong I was...


Sadly to say, it didn't work for me. I don't know why I even managed to use it almost up...guess it was because of the old saying that you must use a product in atleast one month to see if it really works and it wasn't exactly cheap either...I used this for almost 2 months, during the winter season where it was freaking cold and windy outside-.-)
One positive thing about this cleanser is that it's really mild, but not in a way that it won't dry your skin...more the other way around that you don't feel that your skin is clean afterwards=S I felt that it leaved a thinly, film residue afterwards. Non-greasy, but there were definitely something on my skin. After some weeks with using this, I didn't see any improvements on my skin condition. My skin got dry afterwards and felt unclean. It also irritated my skin=(

However, I think this might work for those who don't use any foundation, bb cream etc., because it's primarily a cleanser. But to be honest, I would perhaps try some of the drugstore brands or other HG brands that might work better and be more than a cleanser. This one feels like a cheap cleanser, although the price is the opposite. 

Package: Plastic bottle. The pump has a lock-function which is nice for not worrying about the product leaking out.

Formula: Supposedly no irritating ingredients. Fragrance free. 

Consistent: Feels like thick lotion. Not runny like water and doesn't lather up much.

Scents: It says that it's fragrance free, but I noticed it gives of a hint of cucumber and mint smell. No wonder because cucumbr extract is in the ingredients list:P

Positive: Convenience package.

Negative: Bad cleansing power, skin doesn't feel clean afterwards. Did nothing for my skin, instead irritated it.

Conclusion:
I think this might work for those who don't use any foundation, bb cream etc., because it's primarily a cleanser with not much rinsing power. But to be honest, I would perhaps try some of the drugstore brands or other HG brands that might work better and which have extra properties in addition to being a cleanser. 
This one felt like a cheap cleanser, although the price is the opposite. This did not work for my sensitive, acneprone skin=(

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF 15 review

One thing I hate about the winter season is the coldness and the extremely drying air from the wind, heating etc.,

My lips and skin tends to go crazy by becoming dry and sometimes flaky-.- 
I think my lips are the one suffering the most. Therefore, I wanted to buy/try a new lip balm...and because I'm getting bored of my Mac Tinted lip conditioner. I don't think it moisturises enough compared to when I used it back in China. Beside, I'm not excited about dipping my fingers in the pot everytime I need to touch up, feels kind of unhygienic -.-) 

After some researching, I decided to go for the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Lip Protectant Stick because of the practical design. It comes in a lipstick form, which means no more getting my fingers sticky anymore=) 
and I think it's way more hygienic. Thanks to my kind mom, she bought it asap for me^^ and she also got me some perfume samples from Dior.

I'm surprised how easily it slid on my lips, like buttercream. And it last on my lips, they feel moist^^ 

Nonetheless, the balm has a medical, herbal kind of scent. Kind of refreshing for those who don't mind this kind of scent...

Conclusion: After using this for two months, my final verdict is that this is a nice, moisturising lip balm. 
The package makes the applying easy and hygienic. It also doesn't look bad, appearance wise =P 

Moisture power: 4/5

Lasting power: 4/5

Scent: 3/5

Price: 225 NOK/37$ <--Expensive here, but you may find it ALOT cheaper on Ebay!

Overall: 4/5

Review: Bare Minerals Matte Foundation Powder

After using this for almost 1 month now, I think it's time to lay out my verdict...

Firstly, I have had good expercience with mineral foundations in powder form so I was sure that I wanted to give this a try. My skin is not fond of liquid foundation. The pores becomes visible, I get dry patches and skin flaking!! Absolutely a bad combination although I don't know why liquid foundation looks fab on my mom! It looks so natual on her skin, but on me, I look heavy maked-up-.-) 

Bare Mineals Matte Foundation is basically best suited for people with oily skin, but I think it works well for me although I have combination skin. It doesn't dry out my skin and it feels light on the skin. I don't feel like I have anything at all on my face^^ And I prefer it that way! 

They also have alot of shades to choose from. When the SA found a shade that matched my skin I was sold, I had to get this to try it out! I got Light for my match and it suits my skin perfectly. A big plus for not containing alot of ingredients and for the SPF 15! And the smart Click-lock-go system which prevents the powder leaking out if you bring it with you.

The only downside of this foundation is that sometimes I think it looks too matte on my skin..but it's not that big deal. 

Onto the rest of the review...

Coverage:

You can build up the coverage by adding more or less powder. Or you can just go over a few more times with your brush on your skin. In my opinion the coverage depends on how much of the product you use when applying the first time. If I use very much, I notice that the coverage is good. When the SA poured so much that 1/2 of the lid was covered with the powder and used that amount on my face =O, all my acne scars where covered and my skin looked so smooth and evenxD Even my sister said that:P But I don't want to use that much on a everyday basis (it seems kind of heavy), so I usually get out as much product that it covers 1/4 of the lid and I'm usually satisfied with the coverage it provides me^^ My acne scars becomes lighter and the red areas on my face is toned down. But I recommend you to use a concealer if you wish to hide acne scars, dark eye circles etc., because it does lighten your scars but not hiding them fully!


Applying:
Apply with your preferred brush. Kabuki, stippled brush, flat brush etc.,

Image from thebodyshop.com

My fave brush that I use with this foundation is Kabuki Bronzing Brush from The Body Shop. The brush is so soft and it's really nice for blending. 

Finish:

Looks natural on the skin=D. Makes your skin flawless and matte. Doesn't make you look oily or dull. Haven't noticed any dry flakes occuring on my face for the time being, and I hope it stays like that!  May look a little bit powdery if using too much (going overboard) or if the skin is not moisturised well, so be sure to use a good moisturiser beforehand^^. I think also you get a better result if used with a skin smoothing primer, although I prefer to use it without primer because they tend to clog my pores=(

Lasting power: It usually last more than 8 hours on my skin, and I don't think that I have ever felt the need for a touch-up. But that may be because I'm not that picky xD

Ingredients: 

Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Lauroyl Lysine, Silica, Calcium Silicate, Soil Minerals. May Contain: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides

As seen above, it contains less ingredients compared to other foundations or Bb-creams. It doesn't contain parabens, sulfates, fragrances or dyes. I don't have to worry about pore-clogging ingredients because it contains less ingredients to suspect if it ever breaks me out!

Conclusion:

I'm satisfied with this foundation. It feels light and natural on the skin. A big plus for the small amount of ingredients it contains, SPF 15 and that the shade matches my skin perfect^^ 

Finish: 4/5

Lasting power: 4/5

Coverage: 4/5

Price: 295 NOK <--More expensive here than in the US-.-

Overall: 4/5

Review: Skinfood Rice Mask-Wash Off

I finally got my skinfood mask yesterday after waiting excited for a whole week=D
I bought it from Ebay. I tried the mask asap, and here's the review for it^.^

What it says on their website: A wash-off mask containing rice extract that moisturizes skin and brightens tone. With its texture of ground rice, it leaves skin bright, soft and lustrous (theskinfood.com).


Package: It comes in a simple, white plastic container. Honestly, I don't care much with the packaging because I think the more important thing is if the product does what it says.

The ingredients:

Formula: The mask's texture is kind of creamy, white and it has small grains. It reminds me of a scrub, but the mask isn't fluidly like a cleanser. I personally like the grains, because I might as well use it as a ''scrub'' after getting the benefits from the mask;) Two bargains in one! 


Scent: It's hard to explain the scent, but I loved it the first time I put the mask on my face. The scent gives off a relaxing and delicate touch. It really calms me downxD I think this mask might have some aromatherapy attributes too because of the nice smell^^


Positive: After washing off, the skin feels smooth and the complexion seems lightened. I noticed how smooth my skin was today when I dabbed on my moisturiser with my fingertips! I was quite surprised and couldn't believe it!


Negative: Nothing for now, because I have just used this once. Going to update if it's any after some more tries.


Conclusion: I like this mask, and can't wait for using it again^^ It does really what it says, my skin felt smooth for days and the skin texture improved a bit too! 

Just Dance 2 Wii

Some days ago I wrote about excercising with Wii fit and I thought it was pretty funny and a great way to get moving^^...but I also wanted to try something different, to prevent me from getting bored with the same routine over and over again since the Wii fit has limited amount of minigames=(

I can't remember what I was exactly looking for, but I remembered something about a dance game for Wii, so I googled it and that's how I got to know about the game Just Dance.

It's a dance game for up to 8 players=O The Wii remote controls and evaluates your motions. You don't need any dance mats so it's pretty easy to get with^^

After playing it yesterday and today, I must say it really gets your body working! There are various choreographies with different degrees of how hard the workout is, so you can choose according to how hard you want it to be. You'll definitely sweat!

The positive thing is that it's so easy to get into the dances and music, that you will probably not notice getting tired. Plus you must move in order to get points!

I played it for 1 hour, and although my body was getting tired, I didn't felt it! I think it may get rid of the extra calories if I play it for 1 hour a dayxD

I'll be testing it and let you know if it works for losing weight;)

Maxfactor Xperience Volumising Mascara

Review of my newest mascara. I heard some good raves about this new Max factor mascara, so I decided to try it out.

What it does: *hint* title................gives you volume!

What it really does: It really does as it says. My lashes becomes fuller and thicker, but personally I felt that one coat of this is too little for my skinny lashes, so I usually uses 2-4 coats to get the desired effect. My lashes also became longer, and I like it;)

The consistent/texture: According to their campaign it should feel creamy, but at the same time light, or weightless as they prefer. I love the consistent because the creamy consistent gives you the feeling that you are giving your lashes a moisturising boost^^ And the creamy consistent makes it easy to apply the mascara and it felt like it covered every lashes. The texture makes it smooth and easy to apply the mascara*o*

The only downside of it's texture is that sometimes my lashes gets stuck to the bottom lashes-.-



The scent: Mascara scent~

Overall, I think this is a good mascara, especially if you want fuller and longer lashes + a little bit moisturising for your lashes, because this mascara doesn't feel dry on your lashes.

Consistent: 4/5

Price: £ 14.9

Overall: 4/5
