H&M mini lipstick in Perfect Red (1.95€) It was just hanging there by the register and I thought it was super cute. It is one of the best red shades for me and so soft, ultra pigmented, easy to apply (because it's so small, you can be very precise)...

Can Can by Paris Hilton  Top notes: clementine blossom, black currant, nectarine Heart notes: wild orchid, orange blossom Base notes: soft musk, amber, precious woods This is one of those super sweet celebrity fragrances that fans of Fantasy (by Britney Spears) will surely love. It's not in any way a Fantasy dupe, but it is in the same fruity floral gourmand family. It is not the same cupcake type of scent, it's a lot less gourmand - note the absence of vanilla or chocolate notes. Top notes of nectarine and black currant create a very sweet syrupy scent. This sweetness is toned down by the base notes of amber, musk and woods that make the fragrance more sensual, warm and cozy. Despite the same kind of sugary sweetness that Fantasy has, I find Can Can a more grown up scent, but still very girly. It is definitely a stronger scent (it's an eau de parfum) and lasts ages. Definitely one of my favourites fragrances this Autumn and so far in general. I've been wearing it on mo...

E.l.f. Haul

Image
I ordered from E.l.f. UK website again after ages. They had an offer with free shipping to Europe so I bought a few bits and pieces. I got one of their Studio cream blushes in the shade Heart Breaker, Studio pigment eyeshadow in Golden Goddess, a liquid eyeliner in the colour Copper and a Flawless Concealer brush. Heart Breaker is a matte bright bubble gum pink shade. I actually expected it looking a bit more coral pink rather than just pink. The texture is so odd, it's like play-doh. Not creamy like Maybelline's Dream blushes, but more dry and doesn't have that slippery feeling, it's so difficult to describe. Because of the texture I find it a bit difficult to apply nicely. There are always pieces of blush that stick to my fingers. So I'm not too keen on the formula, but the colour is pretty. I don't have a colour like that in my collection. The packaging is huge and I mean massive. Way too big to fit in my plastic drawers where I keep my make up. Overall I...

What they Say? Cut your Hair at Home! Trim your Bangs Cut your Children's Hair Create Layers Save Time and Money ShyCheeeks Experience Before i had these, i actually used a regular comb instead..which did create nice layers but you have to be super careful because it doesn't grab the hair properly and if you move, you'll end up with un even layers!
