Here are the items I’ve been using and loving this month.

L’Oreal Glow kit – Highlighting pallet with 5 shades can be use as a eye shadow or a highlight, they are super pigmented, the shades have powdery textures and a long lasting metallic finish.

L’Oreal Age perfect glow & Comfort BB Cream –  This light- wearing cream has a tinted formula that unifies the skin tone, giving a gorgeous natural looking glow. It’s definitely my favourite BB cream.

Perfume Just Pink – A fresh green floral fragrance with soft fruits and pink blooms,This just smells lovely. I really appreciate how simply beautiful the bottle are. I got this perfume as gift and I have been using it almost every day.

NYX Powder blush pinched – This is a beautiful peachy – pink which has a hint of gold shimmer. The formula is richly – pigmented and last for hours.

Nuxe Dry oil – This oil smells lovely and is fantastic for dry hair like mine, I use it every day not only on my hair but also in my skin, leaves it looking  very soft.

NYX cosmetics have a great selection of lipsticks, I love them, and today I decided to write about my favourites.  They are always great quality while and very affordable.

NYX Liquid suede –  This is waterproof and glides on and sets into a striking matte finish and the application is very smooth,  and last for long time on the lips.

NYX has always been one of mine favourite brand with their extensive range of lipsticks, In my collection I currently have few from NYX, I tried different ones but always back to this 3, These are my favourite.

Hi everyone, welcome back

It’s definitely Winter Season and I am so ready to get out there with my dark lip, shades, warm and comfy clothes.

I love accessories & jewelry, a elegant watch always looks great. I’m in love with my new watch from Morris York you can buy here and get 10% discount use code Anita44 . 

 

I can’t get enough of all the soft, fuzzy, furry items out right now! 

One of my favorite parts about my winter wear is the sweaters, they can go with everything, I realy like to use warm winter sweaters. 

I love the sweaters in neutral shades of beige, pink and brown. 

My favourite lipstick at the moment  is NYX Liquid suede cream lipstick,  provides you with velvety lips and a soft matte finish all day. Water-resistant formula.

These glow kit from L’Oreal are just amazing for the holiday season. You can do many different makeup looks with it. Another favourite I have been using a lot is the Nuxe Dry oil I love to use oil in winter time because my skin and hair are very dry, so is always good to use a good oil to keep the skin & hair hydrated.

Hi everyone, welcome back

img_3227

Today’s haul will include makeup and skincare.  As I have said many times before I really like Avon brand.

I like to start from the Avon true colour correcting pearls Evens out all skin tones,corrects uneven pigment & it’s easy to apply. For all skin types.

The next product is new for me I never used before  Mark Smoothing matte primer – it says;  Blurs lines, hides pores and banishes shine. can’t wait to try….

Avon mark. Big & False Lash Volume Mascara is a mascara with a fibre blend formula for fluttery volume that lasts all day. The formula is water, smudge, flake and clump proof and suitable for sensitive eyes. Exclusive brush follows the natural curve of the eye to get to the roots and easily reach into corners.

My favourite from this haul; (lipsticks) I love it …. Mark liquid lip Lacquer Matte Mystique; Kiss Face & Mark liquid lip Lacquer shine Dark and stormy.  The matte shades gives  a velvet finish and the shine shades a moisturizing vinyl finish, but both of them with long-wearing and to never bleed or feather.

Also I order Avon True colour lipsticks, 3 different shades ; Posh petal, Red supreme, Mauve. These lipsticks are perfectly Matte. Lightweight & hydrating formula.

Last but not least I have the Anew Clinical Anti wrinkle line Erasing Serum.  Lightweight, silky serum formulated with patented A-F33+ Complex for maximum wrinkle fighting, without drastic measures. Absorbs quickly and is suitable for all skin types.

 

Hope you enjoyed this haul, let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

Hi everyone, welcome back

This is the limited edition Angel Lip Kits comes in four different colours. I have only one kit and it’s my favourite from all of them.

While the glosses and Velvet Mattes are already classics, it’s the first time Victoria’s Secret has created lip liners.

VICTORIA’S SECRET JASMINE’S LIP KIT 

  • Velvet Matte drama
  • Lip pencil exotic berry 
  • Glitter Gloss 

I love this kit the colour is intense, lips feel velvety and soft, and the colour lasts and lasts….

This kit has everything you need for the perfect pout.

I’m obsessed with lip sticks from Victoria’s Secret, so when I saw these lip kits I had to have.

Have a great weekend

Thanks 😉

AVON MARK LIQUID LIP LACQUER SWATCHES AND REVIEW

/ Analucascardigos / 13 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Today I have a review of the new lipsticks from Avon Mark : Matte lipstick and liquid lipstick. Today, I have a mixture of both to show you. Matte liquid lipstick and shine liquid lip lacquer. 

Yep, that’s right. Avon’s new mark. Liquid Lip Lacquer’s that come in both a matte and a shine finish. The shades are pretty much the same on both sides, just different finishes. There are 12 matte shades and 12 shine.

The matte shades gives  a velvet finish and the shine shades a moisturizing vinyl finish, but both of them with long-wearing and to never bleed or feather.

BENEFITS
• Pure pigments
• Built-in primer guarantees a smooth, even application and keeps colour on lock down
• Unique cushioned, tapered tip applicator allows you to paint on colour in one swipe and expertly line lips
• Provides full coverage
• Does not feather or bleed
• Colour lasts for hours

This is a luscious lip paint that combines colour and a built-in primer. More intense than lipstick.

Precision Diamond -shaped Brush for expert – looking definition ….

I got 7 of them, 5 shine and 2 matte, here are the swatches

I’ve been testing it out massively over the last week to make sure that my first impressions actually lasted and fortunately they did. I personally prefer the shiny ones but matte is great as well…. Overall I love it and I definitely recommend …

What do you think to the new Avon Mark. Liquid Lip Lacquer?

Have a great week ….

Thanks 😉
