Continuing with Reviews (Nivea, Garnier, Rimmel)

As promised, here are some skin care reviews. Starting with the Garnier Roll-on anti circles concealer. I have  to say I love the idea of skin care combined with make up, but when it comes to us paler girls, Garnier fails miserably. I took the lighter shade (heller bis mittles typ) and well, it's not light. I'd say it's more of a medium...

Latests...

A bit of a package related rant. I recently ordered from two UK based websites. And they were both extremely professional and sent off the packages on the same or the next day. However, I didn't receive those packages for almost two weeks. And why is that?

Vampire's Love edt: An (Almost) Dupe for Fantasy

It's very creamy and pigmented, but the formula is slippery and after a while starts looking strange on the lips. It lasts well on the lips and it stains them, as it normal...

Sleek Pout Paint in Minx

When I was ordering Sleek Pout Paints the first time (review is here), I decided to skip Minx, because I had a feeling it might be too similar to Milkshake. Boy was I wrong. Seeing Minx for the first time in person, I thought ''Well, that can't be good''. It looks so brown in the packaging and I really hate brown(ish) shades. Boy was...
