I'm blushing!

 Hello everybody!! Today I'm gonna show you my blush collection...it ain't big but i love it. I don't have different brands but only two - L' Oreal and Maybelline - but I'm planning to buy a sleek blush palette soon! Shall we begin?

First and foremost, I have this L'oreal blush ( No 205 - Honey ). When I bought it a few years ago, I wanted a natural brown colour for my cheeks but when those ladies in drugstores ask me so many questions I get nervous and I tend to choose wrong stuff. So, at first I didn't like that shade and I didn't use it for a long time but then I kinda loved it. It looks like brown/coral/orange blush and because of its bright colour, I don't overdo it with makeup.

Another blush from the same collection is L'oreal blush ( No 120 - Sandalwood Pink ) . I've bought this one a couple of times because I totally love it. It's an everyday blush with a girly pink colour and it matches with everything. Your cheeks look very natural! It's blendable ( and the blush above ) and it lasts for quite a long time.

Moving on, I have two blushes for you and they're from Maybelline. The first one, is a plummy, a bit shimmery blush which I love a lot. I wanted a quite dark colour for winter and then I came across with Tanya Burr's video and I found this great blush. For those of you who don't know her, you should click this link at once. The blush is called "flash plum" and it's a great shade not only for winter but for spring/summer too!! Again, this blush it's blendable and it looks really nice on your cheeks.

Last but not least, it's a creamy blush from Maybelline. It's called Dream Touch Blush in No 04. I used to wear it over a powder blush for extra shine and length but then I tried to wear it alone. I prefer to use it in spring/summer for natural shimmery cheeks and the result is natural and "healthy". You can apply it however you like. As for me, I tried both ways (blush brush and my fingers) and I thought it blends easily with my fingers. However, you can decide which way suits you best.

Below are their swatches so you can see what they look like.

So that was it for today!! I hope you liked it!! Leave your comments below and tell me which one you like the most or which blush of YOUR collection is your favourite! Please, do NOT forget to follow me! Many kisses! xx

"Sun kissed" cheeks!

  Hello everybody! Sorry for not posting as much as you and I would but I'm kinda busy with my university and stuff. So, today my beautiful readers all over the world, i'm gonna talk about "sun-kissed" cheeks - as my title says - aka bronzers.
 Since summer is coming I thought this time of season it's perfect for bronzers so you can be ready to chose the one you like...As for me, I never owned a bronzer before - but i intend to buy one this summer - so I don't know how to apply it exactly. Anyway,below you'll see some products that I chose to present you...

TooFaced Cosmetics:
 Snow Bunny Bronzer $30..Τhis bronzer takes away the redness in your cheeks enough to give it a blended look...plus it is shimmery. With several shades to choose from, you can either apply them individually or sweep across them all to get that "one-of-a-kind" bronzing experience.

Estee Lauder:

 Bronze Goddess Soft Shimmer Bronzer... Different women have wrote their reviews on several website saying : " It doesn't rub off and it creates a natural looking tan on my face" and another said "..this bronzer works miracles. You don't need to apply much to get a nice result..my favourite part is that is gives a natural shimmery(not sparkly) look."

Nars:

 Bronzing Powder $36...This product has the perfect amount of shimmer for your face plus it looks matte but still you have that "out-in-the-sun" glow. In addition to that, it has a beautiful mocha colour that is easily blendable with your skin AND it lasts for 24hrs.

The balm:

 Bahana Mama Bronzer $20...This bronzer is on my wish-list and I really want to buy but another bronzer has got me under its spell(i'll tell you later). As its name say this product will make you feel like your having a Hawaiian tan and it has a bit of sparkle to make your face look like it has a natural sun-kissed skin colour. This completely matte bronzer is highly pigmented but not to brown or orange. Many reviews say that the bronzer isn't shimmery - a biig plus!

TooFaced Cosmetics: 

 Milk Chocolate Soleil Bronzing Powder... 

This bronzer is really nice and I highly recommend it although its price because it smells like

chocolate...yum!!!! Besides it's incredibly smell, this bronzer last all day all night (if necessary).

It's matte so there's no shimmery problem if your over do it and it's really easy to blend it.

Bourjois:

 Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder... This bronzer can easily the dupe of the product above (The TooFaced bronzer). It's almost the same, its texture and above all its smell, yes!!Chocolate can be found here too! It's matte and there are two shades for you to pick! This is my favourite bronzer although I don't have it yet but I'm gonna buy it from Asos later this month. 

Sooo,that was it for today! If you have an all time favourite bronzer let me know below or you can tell me which one do you want to buy and why!

Do not forget to follow me - i'll be glad to be friends with you.

Hair Oils - Part II

 Hello everybody!! My last post was about drugstore hair oils and now I'm gonna show you some high-end ones. So, whether you can afford a quite expensive hair oil or not you'll find this post interesting.

• Moroccan Oil Treatment : This hair oil can be absorbed instantly and after you use it, you'll find your hair extremely silky and smooth without leaving residue. It can also repair your damaged hair and helps the from frizzing! 
  
• Kerastase Elixir Ultime : We all know that miraculous hair oil. Recently I bought the Elle magazine (i think - the Greek edition) and there was a 50ml Kerastase bottle of this hair oil. I was so so sooo excited to have it because as you may know Kerastase's products are not easily affordable. Since then I've been using it every single day! It's amazing, it smells perfect - although its smell doesn't last after I blow dry my hair. This formula will leave your hair glossy and feeling healthier than ever. It's also lightweight and sinks in quickly, so you'll never have to worry about leaving a greasy, uneven residue on any of your strands. 
  
• Kiehl's Deeply Restrorative Smoothing Hair Oil Concentrate : This hair oil was designed for those girls whose hair tend to frizz and it leaves your hair so silky. Plus Kiehl's oil moisturises your damaged hair without leaving any residue. It contains six different oils and the most loved one - the argan oil. 
  
• Alterna Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil Pure Treatment Oil : Not only does this formula deep condition dry hair, but it also helps protect your hair colour. Thanks to organic bamboo and organic kendi oil, your hair will be stronger, shinier and healthier. 

Sooo that was all folks.. cant wait to hear your thoughts about those hair oils and tell me your opinion if you ever tried one of those. You can check out my previous post about drugstore hair oils here .. P.s do NOT forget to follow me!!
