Review of Lookfantastic beauty box: September edition

Image
As it is the last day of September, it's time to look back at the items in the September's box. You can buy all of the products from Lookfantasic website. I looked up all the prices and as most of the products are minis, so I did my math and calculated how much were these items worth. All of the prices are in euros. First of all  Philip Kingsley Elastisizer (before shampoo treatment) 40 ml. You can buy an 75 ml tube which costs 18,45, so 40 ml is 9.84. I enjoyed using this product. I kept it in my hair for about 3 minutes and it makes hair soft. However as it is before shampoo treatment and I have to be honest, I can't be bothered to use it. Then it comes to haircare, I'm rather lazy. Having an extra step is too much for me. It's a good product, but didn't wowed me enough for repurchising it.  Omorovicza Ultramoor mud mask. You can buy 50 ml mask, which costs 90 euros. This 5 ml is worth of 9 euros. As I have quite dry skin, I only used it in my t-zone.

Becca Shimmering skin perfector pressed highlighter

Becca Shimmering skin perfector pressed highlighter in Opal (mini size). My first ever highend product and also my first ever purchase from Sephora. If you love makeup as much as I do - it's quite a memorable product for me.  I personally like the packaging of Becca products, but I know some don't. If you feel it in your hand - it's a good quality package. I have the miniature size product and it contains 2.4 grams of product. It's quite small, but a good size for me to actually use it up. I got mine from Poland and it costed roughly 15 euros.  Shade Opal is my summer shade and it would be too dark for me in winter. However it's fine, beacause I like more a blinding highlighter in summer anyway. It's such a great formula and it looks smooth on the skin, so doesn't emphasize any texture. I highly recommend to try it.  Let me know which products from Becca you like, as I would like to try out some more of the Becca products.

Lookfantastic beauty box: September edition

  I have liked the idea of beauty boxes for a long time. Finally I deciced to order one.  You can get a lookfantastic beauty box for 20 euros, but I ordered mine for 6 months and in this way one box costs me 17 euros. Basically the more boxes you sign up for the cheaper they are. You won't pay for all of them once, but they take the many from your bank account as they've shipped the box out. The main reason why I ordered a beauty box is because I use the same products over and over again. So I think it's a good way to try some new products and see if there are some new brands and products I would enjoy. As I to travel between two cities every single week it's also great to have miniature size products.  I live in Estonia and there aren't many brands which ship their beauty boxes to here. Lookfantastic box seemed the best for me, as it's reasonably priced and contains decent amount of products.  Lookfantastic beauty box is based on skincare and there ar

M.A.C Cosmetics

Image
I'm 23 years old and finally bought my first ever M.A.C makeup. I've been a drugstore kind of girl for years and haven't have any high end makeup items. However recently I've treated myself with some.  Here in Estonia shop called Kaubamaja has a deal when you buy something from Mac you get free lipstick (you can choose between two shades Lady Danger and Ruby Woo).  I decided to pick up Mac Prep+prime fix+ (100ml). I haven't noticed a massive difference with my makeup lasting, but as I have dry skin it adds a little extra moisture to my skin. Also it's so rereshing in the morning. I have used it for two days, but so far absolutely love it.  (Hint - if you can see it in my September faves, when you know I love it). It costs €19.99 which I find to be decent.  As my freebee I chose Ruby Woo and I think I know now why people love Mac lipsticks. It opaque and applies so well on the lips. It's retro matte finish, but I don't find it

August favourites

I haven't written a blogpost for an absolute ages. But I've been missing my favourite's posts, not beacause I think I write them well (haha), but I enjoy looking them back. So here they are - my August faves. First of all I bought The Body Shop tea tree anti-imperfection daily solution in June and I've been using it ever since. I've seen a hugh different in my skin from June to now. Having a spot or two was a regular thing for me, but now I do get them only occasionally and even then I can get rid off them quite quickly (hopefully don't jinx it). I use it both in morning and evening and continue using it.  Nivea Watermelon shine is the only lip color I use. It moisturise enough and also adds a pretty glossy pink colour. Also smells great. Catrice Colour correcting powder. I think they discontinued it, but I've seen some of them still in the shops. So if you can see it - crab it. I can't say much about colour correcting, but it's a
