Christmas gift wrapping ideas

Image
I'm so sorry this post is super late, but I only just now managed to finish up wrapping. I usually have kind of a theme, but this year not so much. I also forgot to buy gift tags so I did them by myself. I just used some silver glitter glue and red paper.  Merry Christmas everyone!!  xxxxxxx

Tanya Burr eyeshadow palettes

Image
I have had these palettes or more like eyesahdow quads for some time now. I have had these on my blogging list, but as I stopped blogging for some time, I didn't got round to it. Let's start this post up with the packaging. As I understand Tanya's audience is mainly teens, so I kind of understand the packaging. For me it's a little too cheesy or cheesy even isn't the right word, but you can tell it's meant for younger audience, which I do get it and  it's ok by me. It's just a cardboard box with magnetic closer. I find these being a little bolky and not the easisest to store. I personally would prefer slimmer packaging.  About the eyeshadows. Most of them are pigmented and creamy, but there are some shades I'm not a so keen on. It's actually more the Hollywood palette which really doesn't work for me or to be honest I think I've got a bad patch or it's just not as good as others. My personal fave is Galaxy. Back to eyeshado

Essence Silky touch blushes

Image
I have made this post once before and it's one of my most popular posts. I have two more shades now and I decided to do update version. Also my other post about these blushes are in Estonian. I'm going to say this just here, that these are one of my absolute favourite blushes, They have such a gorgeous sheen on them and they just make my skin looking super healthy.  I have for shades in total and they're all pretty. Shade 10 Adorable was the first shade I got and this one is a little less pigmented than other three, but this is why this one is my absolute favourite blush. I just like to swirl my brush in my blush and then apply it and I can do it with this shade without looking like creepy cloun after applying my blush. The shade Adorable is light pink shade with more cool toned sheen in it.  20 Babydoll is the newest for me. I think Essence did change up their formula in some point and they're more pigmented now. So this one is quite pigmented, bu

Neutrogena Visibly clear pink grapefruit range

I don't write often about skin care, but it's kind of because I pretty much use the same products and it tooks quite some time for me to figure out if I like certain product or not. This Neutrogena range I have used almost for two years. In that time I have went through about five or six tubes of this moisturiser and this is my second cream wash. Clearly you can tell I enjoy using this range a lot. I have also used their facial wash, but I prefer using cream wash. Just because I have quite dry skin and facial wash does dry it out a little more.  I remeber back in days my skin was bad I looked for affordable skin care and I had my eye on this line, but then I only saw bad reviews about it. It was kind like "oooh, it's soo bad" or "it has the worst ingredients in it", so I decided not to go for it. But then my skin started to get more and more dry and I saw the cream wash and it promise not to dry out the skin and as it sounded such a right produc

NYC Metallic eyeliner

Image
I have had these for some months now and I've been desperately waiting for Christmas time to get a lot of use out of them. These just scream for holidays. Let's start from the aplicator. They're not the easiest to use ones, specially then you want to get really precise line out of them. They have a brush tip aplicator, but it's a little to wide, at least in my opinion. By the way I have to add what I'm not good at doing my eyeliner and I don't wear liner everyday bases.  However the colours are super metallic and two of them are opaque and one of them is more sheer. I actually like to apply these all over my lid and use them as metallic cream shadows. I have to say they set down quickly and because of that you also need to blend them quickly, but I still absolutely love them. They just can make your makeup pop with seconds.  They also stay on my eyes well, eventhough I have quite watery eyes.  I have three shades. First of all 862 Serpentine purple.

What's in my bag: Chrstmas edition

Image
My bag is from Aliexpress, I can't leave the link as it's not active any more. It's a reasonable sized bag and fits all of the crap I fancy put in it. It cost around 5 euros, so it's not the most amazing quality, but it does the job.  Essentials in my bag are always: my purse, phone and keys. As I don't have cash usually, I just carry this little pouch with my cards in it. I have Sony M2 aqua, not the best phone, but I'm not that person who needs to have the newest phone, as long as it does it's job, it's fine by me. My keyring is a clover shaped, which should be a sybol of luck.  As being a girl, I always carry some beauty related items in my bag. Today I had Nivea Soft moisturiser in it - it's a great moisturiser, you can use it on your face, hands and also body. I also carry powder and powder brush with me as my T-zone can get a little oily. Rimmel lip liner in the shade 011 Spice is my favourite going out lip product and in some
