This week I've been loving...

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful week!

I've been trying to use different product every few weeks, so I can rediscover some products I already have! So let's see what I've been loving this week...

Whenever the season changes, I like to change my perfume, one of them is the PINK Warm & Cozy body mist. I don't know, I love this smell for the colder weather and it just makes me happy. It smells like warm vanilla and cotton candy. It's not really fruity, more fresh.  On my lips, I've been wearing the NYX butter gloss in Eclair.  This is a great natural light pink for everyday wear. I love the formulation of the butter glosses and I really want to try more of them. It's not sticky at all and it has a nice smell! Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara is a great mascara for volume. The cobra brush helps to get every lashes... Plus, the packaging is like adorable. MAC Gingerly blush is one of my favorite blush ever. As I'm losing my summer tan I'm looking for ways to always a glow and this is the way to go. It's super easy to work with as it works as a blush/bronzer. It's a peachy/brown blush. It looks very natural. MAC lipstick in Brave is a staple for me. This pink nude is great for everyday wear. Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick in Lolita is amazing. Of course, I will buy the full size one when I'm done with this one. The formula is amazing and last a good few hours.  This color would look great on everyone. You'll get a lot of compliments. I think this might be my favorite lipstick product of all time! Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronze is a great bronzer. I've been using this quite a lot and on the plus side, it smells like chocolate! Yummy!

Currently loving | Beauty ♡

Hi everyone! Hope you're all doing well. Today I'm here to talk about what beauty products I'm currently loving.

Maybelline Baby skin instant pore eraser | A great cheap drugstore alternative to high end, can't say it's comparable to high end, but it's still great, and does it's job!

Benefit High Beam | A classic. One of my favorite highlighter - can't go wrong with it. Gives a great healthy glow. I love the color of it.

Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil | This matte, no shimmer bronzer is great. And the smell? Even greater. A bronzer that smells like chocolate!? Uhm, yes please!

Rimmel Scandaleyes in Nude | A great eyeliner for the waterline, easy to work with and very smooth.

Kate Von D Esperanza eyeshadow palette | Don't let the color selection fool you. It was actually on special at Sephora when I bought it, the color didn't look that much like something I would wear but I actually love it and wear it on a daily basis. I actually use all the color in this a lot, even the colourful ones sometimes. I love the shades galore and dog roses, and placebo (a coral) looks amazing in the crease, almost looks like a sunset haha! Anyways, amazing palette, and packaging! hehe

Wet n' Wild lipstick in Cherry picking | I believe that Wet n' Wild can do no wrong. This lipstick is so amazing and all the colours are beautiful (want mooore!) So pigmented, has great lasting power.

Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial | Love Apocalips. This color is so gorgeous. I really need to try more from this line.

Too Faced Chocolate Bar | This palette is amazing. Comes with 16 eyeshadows with matte & shimmer and shades of neutral/plums/pinks. And like the Milk Chocolate Soleil - it smells like chocolate! Yum.

Also, got the AVON makeup setting spray,  girl right here can never have enough! I got this Revlon Photoready Eye Art Lid + Line + Lash in Peach Prism - I actually thought this was a nail polish at first haha. But nope. It's cream eyeshadow and glitter eyeliner. I got the Avon Secrets to Keep perfume roller ball (which smells great.) Lastly, I got the Mane 'n Tail Detangler.

Some nail polish goodies.  Some nail art black/white stripe, I really want to start doing more nail art - also got the nail art wheel so I will be able to practice nail art and for preparing nail polish blog posts... The pretty turquoise polish is Bourjois in Turquoise Block.

Five favorites.

Hi everyone! For the past few months I've been trying to not buy as much makeup and use/test what I do have. I'm always trying to try new things in my collection.

 

Here's what I've been loving lately...

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Medium/Deep Matte Bronzer// 
I believe that I have found my favorite bronzer. It's a matte bronzer that isn't orange/muddy aka the perfect bronzer, plus, it smells like chocolate! Say what? It also blends very well! Love, love, love.

Stila Self Adjusting blush in Coral//
This is the perfect blush for the summer. As the name mentions it's a coral blush, it's on the pink side. The texture of this blush is perfect. It blends it quite easily, it is pigmented, lovely color, what more could you ask for?

NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien//
Had this in a Sephora 500 points reward and I am so glad that I discovered this gem. I will be repurchasing this forever and always. I love the texture, color, finish, basically everything about it. The color is a medium toned rose color.  It's the perfect neutral in my opinion. It goes on super smooth. It has a slight shine to it. I really want to try more NARS Satin Lip Pencil... if you have any you really like, please let me know in the comments!

Buxom lipgloss in Creamsicle//
This is one of my all-time favorite lipgloss, especially for the summer time! This subtle creamy corally pink lipgloss is just perfect. It is not sticky. It smells really good as well.

Benefit Sunbeam Highlighter//
 If you're looking for a summer highlight, this might be the right one for you. This golden bronze highlighter is perfect for a tanned skin. As Sephora mentioned on their website it's like liquid sunshine! Gives your skin a lovely sunkissed glow! One thing I really like about it's that it's not glittery, but shimmery. It doesn't make your face oily. I will surely repurchase the full size when I finish this one.

And here are some swatches...

Hope you have enjoyed this blog post and enjoying summer! Leave me in the comments what you have been loving lately! xx

First online Sephora order

Hey lovelies! I'm so happy, today, I received my first Sephora order! The closest Sephora to my town is like 2 hours away. Since I didn't go to that Sephora 2 weeks before or after my birthday, I didn't want to lose my beauty insider gift. So I bought one thing (I would have bought more, but I bought so much makeup lately, I need to calm myself a bit aha), I bought the Urban Decay Naked Basics! Aside from my birthday gift I got a bunch of samples, I was very pleased with them, and I will surely order from Sephora online again! :)

Here's an overview of everything I got.

Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette: This is the only thing I ordered. It was on my wishlist of numerous beauty things I want, the decision was hard, but it was only 32$ (which is not expensive if you're familiar with Sephora) and I got my beauty insider birthday gift and numerous samples. I'm in LOVE with the packaging, it's super cute. As I only got it today, I have not had the chance to try it that much, so I won't do a review right now, but I will soon. 

Benefit real birthday turns-on including Benefit They're Real! mascara and Watt's Up soft focus highlighter for face: I was super excited when I saw that this was the beauty insider birthday gift for this year, because I've been wanting to try these products for SO long. Maybe I could do a review of those two products and tell you girls if I will buy the full-size product? Let me know! This is actually my first time having a Sephora beauty insider, super exciting, right? Haha! 

Too Faced Glamour Gloss Volumizing lip gloss with lip injection Comfort Plump in Flirt: As the name says, it's a plumping gloss, the color is a pretty neutral pink! Seems like a color I will use alot. 

3 samples: I'm not positive but I think that you can always have 3 samples when you order on Sephora. So these are the ones I chose:

• Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - Radiance
• Soap & Glory Face Soap and Clarity 3-in-1 Daily-detox vitamin c facial wash
• Justin Bieber's Girlfriend Perfume

Hope you enjoyed seeing my first online Sephora order. I will be doing some review, I will do one about the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette for sure! And I was very please with the online service from Sephora and I will surely make a bigger order! haha. If you want any other reviews or more information let me know! xoxo

My wishlist

wishlist
with Too Faced, Benefit Cosmetics, Soap & Glory

1) Urban Decay Naked 2 palette: I have the first one and I love it. But I would really like the second one because of its cooler shades, perfect for winter.

2) Urban Decay Primer Potion: I've used up mine so I need a new one.

3) Stila In the light palette: It is such a beautiful palette. The colors are beautiful and I've been wanting to try the shade 'kitten' for the longest time.

4) Soap & Glory Hand Food: I've heard so many good things about the brand Soap & Glory. Specially their Hand Food cream. I own nothing from them and I think it's time that I dive in.

5) Too faced smokey eye palette Sorry for writing STILA* on the picture but its actually by Too faced. I've been eyeing this palette for quite a while. I think it's great because I have nothing quite like it. It's something I plan on buying sometime soon.

6) Benefit They're real mascara: I've heard so many great thing about that mascara. I really want to try it.

7) Benefit Hoola bronzer: I really want to try more Benefit products. This bronzer looks great. I feel like it's the perfect bronzy color.
