Maybelline Master Bronzer Palette

/ Analucascardigos / 7 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Testing out new makeup products is one of my favourite things to do, I guess that’s the reason why my collection is so big …. Today I’m going to talk about a product that I’m loving; . Maybelline master bronzer color and Highlighting kit palette

Now, summer glow comes to life with a sun kissed bronzed & highlighted effect.
Create a highlighted bronze look for a multi-dimensional sun kissed glow with our all-in-one palette.
Bronze shades: pure bronze pigments for an all-over golden glow
Universal highlighter; illuminates and adds gradient for dimensionality…..

If your looking for a bronzer and highlighting you need to try Maybelline Master Bronze Color and Highlighting Kit. I love the 4 options for colour to suit your skin tone and contoring effects you can create are fantastic with a slight shimmering effect.

The product itself is really easy to use, goes on well, doesn’t clump and gives me that elusive summer glow….  I would recommend this to everyone, this is simple to use with brilliant results!

 

Have you ever try this pallet? let me know your thoughts, in the comments bellow 😉

Thanks 🙂

How to Test What Skin Type you Have

/ Analucascardigos / 14 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Image result for skin types

Determining your skin type is not a complex affair at all. One of the simplest ways in which you can identify your skin type is to wipe your face with a clean tissue as soon as you wake in the morning. Here is what people with different skin types will find with this test:

Normal Skin- The tissue is oil free and your skin feels as elastic and supple as ever.
Dry Skin- The tissue is oil free but your facial skin feels dry and tight.
Oily skin- The tissue has oily spots and your face looks oily especially the nose and forehead areas.
Combination Skin- The tissue has oil traces when you wipe your nose, forehead or chin but is clean when you wipe your cheeks.
Sensitive Skin- Those who have this skin type do not usually need the tissue-test to figure this out. That’s because sensitive skin reacts poorly to several things- harsh sunlight, dehydration, many creams / shampoos / cosmetics, even the weather.

My workspace

/ Analucascardigos / 24 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Interior design has to be one of my favorite things to discuss. I mean who doesn’t love designing their ideal work space or living room or bedroom or entire house?

It’s always important to work in a space that keeps you inspired and at ease.I usually keep it clean & organize, with only the essentials: (Laptop; notebook; pen …. )

I spend long time out from home, but when I’m at home I love this space, this is the place I work on my blog ….. This room is quit big, is not only office!!! is my beauty room and closet (3 in 1 😉 .

I highly recommend that you transform it into a place that inspires and motivates you.

My desk and shelf is from IKEA ….

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did writing it!

My top 5 beauty Faves

/ Analucascardigos / 8 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

I switch around my makeup very frequently. Probably every week, in fact. but this are the ones I’m currently loving ….

The Honey Queen Honeycomb Blusher w7 – Leaves skin illuminated with a light satin sheen. This is one of my favorite blushers ….

NYX Soft matte lip cream  delivers a burst of creamy color and sets to a stunning matte finish. Surprisingly durable, lightweight and delightfully creamy.

L’Oreal Color Appeal Eye shadow Golden Shimmer 23 . One swipe can give you enough color though and it can be packed on a lid….. 

 This eye shadow I had bought long time a go, but never got the chance to use, so I started to use and I love it is a beautiful shadow for summer.

Dior skin forever foundation,  is pretty much just that… perfect. It boasts everlasting wear (up to 16 hours) and takes skin perfection and a matte finish to next level. It’s not oily and as it dries down to the matte finish, it feels like it’s melting into the skin ….

Mark nude matte cream concealer, Covers imperfections, diminishes the appearance of skin texture with a matte, lightweight feel, no caking or creasing!

 

What’s your favorite beauty products ?? 😉
