Benefit High Beam

Hi beauties, today I will be reviewing a product that will make you glow in the middle of the winter: Benefit High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer.
As you can see, I've used more than half because I love it so much. You put it on the top of your cheekbones, under your eyebrows, down the bridge of your nose or center of your forehead. Basicly anywhere you want to accent on your face.

This satiny pink highlighter is perfect to brighten up your complexion to a dewy, radiant and healthy glow!

The applicator reminds me of a nail polish. To apply you just put dot and then blend it in your skin. Super simple!
Top: not blended in.
Bottom: blended in.

Will I buy it again? Maybe not in the near future, but at any other time? Yes. I have not tried that many highlighters yet, but, out of one of the numerous I'd like to try, next is Dior Amber Diamond.

REVIEW: Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Mascara

Hi lovelies! Today, I will be reviewing my favorite mascara of the moment: Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express.
The blue and pink packaging totally sold me. But the product itself is as great as the packaging. Maybelline says it will make your lashes 8X bigger and smoother. Which is totally true. This is by far, one of the best mascara I've used. Also, the best volumizing one. Also, it doesn't clump.
When I first saw the wand I thought of the Covergirl Lashblast Volume. Except I feel like the bristles are a bit smaller on The Rocket mascara.

I haven't tried that many mascaras, because I like to finish them up because they dry so fast. As I said, in the ones that I have tried this is one that suprised me alot. I'd say it would be in my top 5. If you want beautiful, sleek and smooth volume this is the right mascara for you.

RATING: 10/10

Small collective haul

Hello beauties! I have been so busy the past weeks that I haven't been able to write any posts but hopefully I'll be able to manage my time better, even if I'm super busy. So I would like to do a collective haul for you.

So the first thing is a Bioderma kit. I've been wanting those 2 products for quite a while: Bioderma Micelle Solution Sensibio H20 and Bioderma Anti-Redness cream Sensibio AR, I've been especially wanting the super-hyped about, Micelle Solution. For 28$ (a 50$ value), I got those two amazing products!!

* Bioderma Micelle Solution Sensibio H20: Cleanses, removes make-up, soothes. AMAZING product will remove ALL your entire face makeup. Great for sensitive skin, skin doesn't feel irritated.

* Bioderma Anti-Redness Cream Sensibio AR: Reduces redness, intensely soothing, moisturises and protects.

* NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Cottage Cheese: I really Jumbo Eye Pencil's in Milk, but it wasn't sold where I bought this one.

* NYX Lipliner pencil in Auburn: This is actually my first lipliner, alot of people on youtube use it for red lips... So I tought why not give it a try?

* NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Boho Chic: Surprisingly this is my first cream blush and I love it. I've been using it everyday since I bought it. I will definetly try more cream blushes from now on. Gorgeous color.

2012 favorites

Hi beauties

So, another year has gone by! Time seems to fly by! I've been watching beauty/fashion videos on youtube for ages. And I've been a fan of fashion/makeup for a long time also. But I feel like my passion has truly begin in the past years. I knew about the beauty community on youtube for a long time, but I just discovered the beauty/fashion community in the month of November, and I'm so excited to take the ride! :)

I will be doing my best products of 2012, this will be so hard; considering I've discovered so many products I love. But here it goes!

Eye products:

Urban Decay Naked Palette: You've probably all seen it. Amazing color selection, amazing palette. Amazing amazing amazing. Need to say more?

Maybelline Color Tattoo: Stays on all day, never creases. I love them all, but Bad to the bronze and Barely Beige are the one I use the most because I love neutral colors and those are perfect for everyday use.

MAC eyeshadow in Woodwinked: I love this eyeshadow; such a gorgeous color. It is my first MAC purchase, I don't have a store that sell mac close to me, so I'm thinking about ordering online!

Lancome Hypnose Mascara: I really fell in love with Lancome mascaras this year. This is one of my most used one and I plan on trying out some more of that brand.

Maybelline Line Stiletto in Blackest Black: Love this liquid liner. Thanks to this mascara I can now apply eyeliner with no difficulties.

Wet N' Wild Idoleyes in Pixie: This is a cream eyeshadow. It's literally perfect. Perfect color. Put it in your inner corner and it'll brighten your eyes like nothing else would.

Urban Decay Primer Potion: If you want your eyeshadow to last all day, this is the solution. I'm actually out of it and need to pick one as soon as possible.

Milani Brow Fix Brow Kit: I can't tell you guys how much I love this product. Some people think eyebrows aren't a 'daily' thing but, trust me, when you'll try this you'll be hooked.

Covergirl eyeshadow trio in Shimmering Sands: Such beautiful colors for an everyday use.

Face products:

Rimmel Lasting Finish in Pink Sorbet: A really nice everyday color, it gives such a natural glow to my face. I plan on buying more blush from Rimmel this year. Love it!

NYX Concealer in a jar: As the name says it, it's a concealer in jar and it's my first time using one. It does a great job at concealing your imperfection.

Benefit High Beam: I haven't tried many highlighters to say it's the best of the best, but I know enough to say it's a wonderful product.

Lip products:

Maybelline Baby Lips: I have all the original collection and I love them all. So amazing, moisturizing and give a nice touch of color!

Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain: I have 2 of those and I love them so much! I plan on buying some more.

Revlon Lip Butter: I have so many of these and I just can't get enough of them. It's between a gloss and a lipstick, so, if you're not used to wearing lipstick, I believe that this is the perfect thing for you!

MAC Lipstick in Angel: This made me fall in love with MAC lipstick. Perfect color. I really need to try more MAC products this year.

Hope you enjoyed! It was really hard trying to pick my favorites cause as I said I have so many favorites and I didn't want to make this too long. Can't wait to see what 2013 will bring, including beauty products! ;)
