The Basic for your Make up kit

This palette is the one I use the most since I have it. You can find from highlight colors, nudes, brows mate colors, shimmery, black and bronzy golden one. I really really like it ! For me it came with a brush to pack eye shadows, I have to admit I would have preferred to have the doubled pencil but it is ok.

My favorite colors in there are Virgin, Sin, Naked, Buck, Half Baked, darkhorse, hustle and creep. Yes, I absolutely love 8 colors out of 12.

The size of the pan is rectangular of about 1 inch on 1/3inch (2,5cm on 1 cm) , the packaging is velvety brown with a rich gold writing and you have a mirror of about 3 inches long and 1 inch large. It closes with magnet.

You have 12 eye shadows organized from the lightest to the darkest. There are 2 mate colors (Naked and Buck) , 6 shimmery ones and 4 satin ones.

The reason why I don't give the full 5 stars rate is because the highlight colors are maybe a bit too shimmery on camera.

I definitively recommend buying this treasure you will use on a daily basis. By far it is my favorite palette I own.

Great finish but ...

I love MAC eye shadows. for this reason I went to MAC for blushes but I don't know if I went right choosing a mineral one. Seeing my skin type, the girl at the store gave me dainty, the one that she was using for all bride she had.

First I have the feeling that you lose quite a lot of powder while applying it with your brush, or it is because of the blush in itself or I am an idiot and it only happens with that one :)

Second I always have to apply quite a lot to be see-able and I don't really like that impression. If I apply a fair amount of it there is nothing, and you can all see by my picture that I am really light.

BUT once I have apply my good amount of it, I love the color and how it makes me look fresh and healthy, it blends ok and it stays on really well.

Can't live without it !

Definitively recommend this powder and the whole "get started kit". The powder is light, soft, doesn't give you any caky effect, it covers dark circles even without any concealer, it even out your skin. This mineral powder is what you need, it is a matifier, a fixing powder, a concealer, a illuminator , it is the best !

I also love the fact that those little can have great security closing in order not to spoil anything when you open it! I definitively love that powder !!

The only eyeliner easy to apply!

Before those eyeliners, I was always putting a thick line of black or brown. It didn't matter how much time and patience I was involving while I was applying eyeliner. I couldn't get over it. But since now, I can apply eyeliner " I don't know whether it is about the brush or about the about the texture. The only downside is... it dries up too fast ! :D

A miss from ELF

I wanted to try some eyeshadow of this brand because I have been nicely surprised by some concealer reel, some blush and brushes BUT this is the most horrible eye shadows I have ever put on my eyelids. Sorry to tell the truth but here are my objective point : - it is really powdery, I would say to much and you have to be really cautious applying it because you may have a lot of fall out. - it breaks off really easily and you may lose half of your eye shadows in a sec - Though the colors are really intense at the beginning I had the impression that it was fading away too quickly even though I used a base.

I definitively won't purchase any eye shadows anymore until I don't see any improvement.

Nevertheless I still appreciate E.L.F a lot for many others studio or mineral products.

Soft, hydrating, antique.

This soap is my third favorite one , having "honey I washed the kids" as nº 1 and "Vanilla in the mist" as nº2. It is really moisturizing and it lathers so well, it gives you this impression to be a Sultana. Its scents of rose and this little something else reminds me of the soap that my beloved grandmother used to use, This nostalgia made me feel better.

The only downside for me is : it melts away to fast and the scent can be overwhelming some times. I believe there is an inscent to it so watch out if your subject to headache because of inscent.

Enjoy your Sultana moment!

Secret potion for a real effect of fake lashes

This product is amazing ! I first tried it during one of those make-up session you have at the mac store whenever you buy for more than 35€. I already have long lashes naturally but then tend to be quite thin at the end and it gives you an illusion of smaller ones. This primer condition your lashes, it dries clear but make your lashes seem more homogenized and thick until the end. This product also force you to comb your lashes correctly from the base to the end and this is the trick to the "fake lashes" effect. Wait some seconds for it to try and apply your mascara on top of it, also combing your lashes and you will see the difference. Even my boyfriend asked me what I did to my lashes !

Enjoy !

Nourished into almond

I received this product as sample because we all have to admit that 40$ for 7 oz of body milk is quite harsh. Nevertheless I really liked the moisture of this cream, I have a combination skin at my face but in the winter I tend to have some part of if quite dry, believe me or not, one little drop of this concentrate of Almond Oil just gave to my skin this softness that makes you feel like a queen. The smell of this product is also charming, you almost want to eat it ! Thought it is true it doesn't leave you any greasiness, you still have to make it work into your skin but it is definitively worth it and a facial massage is always welcome to give some oxygen and circulation to your face; it makes you look more awake and give you that special glow!

If you have the luck to try this product, do not hesitate to share your experience !

You could eat it because of its smells

This soap is the best soap ever. Every since I bought it I can't even think of not having it. The smell is sweet toffee and honeycomb, not overwhelming, its texture is creamy and hydrating. It even gives you a feeling of oil lotion after your shower. One little chunk of 30gr can last you for 4 showers as it lathers so much. You will fall in love of the smell it leaves on your skin, and your lover too ! This soap is so popular that Lush created a shower gel version "it's raining men", created first for soothing kids before going to sleep, you will love to use it daily to wash your hands and to get the smell of it. Leave it on the sink of your bathroom and you won't need any house deodorant anymore!

Enjoy the experience!
