June '10 delights :)

Hello loves <3 :)

It's that time of the month again :) but unfortunately, I don't have much to show this month. It's mainly because I don't really wear a lot of make-up in summer :( Sorry guys :( Booh !

Let's get started :
1. Nivea's Hydro Care Lip Balm :
I love it ! It makes my lips so soft and moisturized and ready for the next favorite ;)

2. WnW's Mega Last Lip Color in Just Peachy 903C :

This color is perfect for summer time. It's a nude-coraly color :) It looks amazingly good on tanned skin :) However, you need to moisturize your lips before. This l/s is matte, but surprisingly not drying. I have it in Think Pink too and it's fabulous.

3. N.Y.C. Lip sliders Tinted Lip Balm in Sugar Coated 509A :
When I Heard Hollyannaeree talk about it on YT, I felt the need to have it 2 (We have pretty much the same make-up tastes, so when she likes something, usually I like it too ^^ ) And I LOVE IT. It does what it's supposed to. It moisturizes your lips and gives you a sheer but nice wash of color. You can wear it by itself or over a L/S. It's up to you :) I also have it in SUGAR KISS, which I love 2.

4. Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen in 01 Blackest Black :

This guy is an old love that I have forgotten about :( & One day, I was playing with my make-up and rediscovered it and I remembered why I loved it so much. AH ! It makes a perfect line every time and the black is a real black :) Not a fake ass black, a true one :) Love it.

5. Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express in Glam Black :

This is my HG mascara. I simply swear by it. It makes my lashes so long and gives them so much volume. I would cry if they would discontinue it :( I'm thinking of showing you before and after pictures :) and reviewing it. To come...

6. Lacoste Inspiration Perfume :

This is my summer scents :) It's my go-to thing ! Everyone I know, likes it. All my friends, as different as they can be, love it. They all have different tastes, but they all agree that it smells heavenly :) Smell it :) and tell my what you think of it.

That's it you guys :)

Have you tried any of the products mentioned ? If yes, tell me if you like them or not and why ^^ Your comments are extremely appreciated & I wish you a very good month of July !

XOXO, A.

Skin Care Regimen :)

Hello Beautiful people :)

Today I wanted to share with you my skin care regimen.

The Novel:
Having good skin is 10028409652349853 times more important than having nice make-up on because make-up is like painting. You have to start with a nice bare canvas and only then, you'll be able to do the most gorgeous masterpieces ever :) I know that because I used to have really bad acne. When I used to look at my skin in the mirror, I remember how I always wanted to cry. It was horrible. Then, some day, I decided to go see a dermatologist, she gave me pills and told me that it was hormonal. However, it was sort of too late. Acne had already made its damages. It was too late because it took me around 2 years to decide that I wanted to visit the dermatologist. (STUPID ME) Why is 2 years too late ? Well, you need to attack acne as soon as you see it. Don't let it settle down. (I'm sure you know what I mean) & that's exactly what happened to me. My acne had become worse and worse and worse. My face was red and full of pimples. Now, thank God, the acne is completely gone. But, the scars remained. (that's the worst part of acne). That's why you need to treat acne as soon as you notice it. Don't wait too long because it's really HARD to erase that mistake and erase scars. It took me 2 years to erase that "waiting" mistake I did. Actually, it's still not completely gone. I still have acne scars on my forehead, mainly in between my eyebrows :( I'll probably go see a doctor and see if I can do microdermabrasion to get rid of them. I want to get rid of the scars before they get too old. Grrr. You don't want your scars to be too old, because those are the most stubborn & they don't wanna leave. Trust me.

My skin type: Dry. Yes, I have dry skin now. How weird is that. haha. In winter it's dry and in summer it's normal :) And honestly I like having Dry skin. I prefer it 1209480 times more than the oily skin I used to have.

My skin care regimen:

In the Morning: Toner :) I only tone in the morning after washing my face with warm water. Sometimes I don't even do that. I feel like my skin looks great in the morning :) And, of course, I put my Neutrogena Comfort Cream before anything. In winter, I use the Nivea Soft Cream. & The toner I'm using right now is a Nivea one, ( l love Nivea ) but as soon as I finish up the bottle, I'll try a new one. Any recommendations ?

At Night: I wash my face with Olay's Daily Facials Hydrating Cleansing Cloth for Normal to Dry skin. Since I'm a lazy person, these cloths are puuurfect for me :) After I made sure that I got rid of all the make-up, I put my Marcelle Eye Cream under my eyes . If you want to see my review on it, click here. After that, I put my Cetaphil moisturizer on :) If you wanna see a review on it, click here. And If I have a pimple, I put some Mario Badescu Drying Cream on it. But, I don't have pimples really often, so I don't use it a lot. Thank God ! Sometimes, In winter, when my skin gets super dry, I put Nivea's cream, The original one.

That's it. My skin is doing really good right now. I'm sooooo happy about that you have no idea. I had so many problems with my skin. Now, gladly, everything is fine. It makes me smile when people say : Oh your skin looks amazing. It kinda makes my day <3.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask them :) and also, keep in mind that every skin is UNIQUE, so if something worked for me, It might not for you and vice versa . Also, if you have any suggestions about toners, PLEASE SHARE ! ^^

XOXO, A.

May delights :)

It's that time of the month again ^^ = FAVORITES OF THE MONTH ! I picked up 8 things that I've been using a lot lately, especially in the month of May :) Sooo here they are :

1. Nivea Energy Breeze Fresh sensation Anti-perspirant :
I love it :) It smells really Fresh and works pretty gooood :) It's summer guys, so you want to make sure you're protected and you want to stay away from sweat marks ^^ !

2. NYC Browser Brush-On Brow Kit in 876C Brunette :
LOVE :) It's been half a year now that I've been using this powder for my eyebrows and I LOOOOOOVE IT. It's the perfect color for my eyebrows and it's so smooth ! It is a bit powdery though, but I don't mind that! It's also really inexpensive, I think it's like 5$ here in Canada :) sooo, definitely check it out you guys !

3. Cover Girl's eye enhancers eye shadow in Brown Smolder :
This brown color is the puuuurfect outer v color EVER. It has tiny shimmers in it, but once applied you don't see them at all. It's easily blendable, smooth and pigmented. Hell yeah !

4. Almay line smoothing pressed powder for Dry skin in light/medium 200 :
This is the best pressed powder I have tried so far. It's especially made for dry skin, so you don't look SUPER MEGA POWDERY AND MATTE after you apply it. By the way, this is my winter shade, in summer I'm 10 times darker than that :) Oh, and i know, the cap is extremely dirty. I know, I know.

5. Revlon Colorstay Liquid Eye Pen in Blackest Black 01 :
LOVVE THIS LiNNER :) I used to really be into liquid eye liners before and then I switched to gel liner and this month, I don't know why but I ''rediscovered'' felt tip eyeliners and now I remember why I used to love them so much :) When you know how to use them, they make the best lines ever :) !

6. Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Colored Blush in Blushing Peach : HAHAH ! What a name right ? :). Never mind, this blush I like it a lot :) It's such a GORGEOUS peachy color and it applies really pretty and effortless. I like the fact that it applies sheerer than some other blushes because that way, you can build your intensity. Nevertheless, it's PERFECT FOR SUMMER ! BUT, since in summer I get REALLY REALLY REALLY DARK ( I JOKE NOT, I get as dark as chocolate. Not Dark chocolate but normal chocolate :) :O ) I'm afraid that it won't show on me this summer :( It showed on my skin this spring, but we'll see this summer. I'll do an update for this one.

7. Ecotools' eye liner Brush :
This guy is my Best friend. Everyday, he's there for me and my eyebrows ! Yes, I use him for my eyebrows and he makes them perfect :) The bristles are stiff and thin, everything you need for an eyeliner brush and for you eyebrows! And, it's dirt cheap. It's like 4$ ^^ YAY!

8. Tweezerman's tweezers :
The first time I tried them, I hated them so much that I wanted to return them! haha. I guess I wasn't used to them. I remember, I tried to pluck my eyebrows and I started to bleed :( I squeezed my upper lid :( It hurt so bad haha :( But, I got used to them and now i love them :) They are so precise and SHARP ;) Be CAREFUL !! By the way, I hate their price, but it's worth it. They cost about 30 $ ( the ones that I have, because they have zebra prints on)


So, that's it guys :) I hope you've enjoyed this post and I wonder what are your may delights ? and have you tried any of these things I've mentioned ? :) Let me know!
