NYX Angel Powder Blush This is a really, really old blush that I bought back in secondary school and though I used to use it a lot, new blushes took it's place, so it lay forgotten in my drawer. It's a matte, dusty baby pink shade that gives that cute, rosy-blushy look to the cheeks (sorry, I have no swatches of it). The...

Edit: I updated the pictures (in 2020), since this is still one of the most read posts on the blog. I'm still doing this technique all the time - I have to, otherwise my lashes don't curl, nor hold a curl - and in all these years, nothing ever happened to my lashes.

I love this! Who would have thought that I'll find a sunscreen that I actually love wearing and it's reasonably priced. It has a liquid, light lotion-type texture that is very easy to apply and it's even lighter than their mattifying version.

Potion 9 is a leave-in conditioner/styling product hybrid that promises to condition the hair as well as give hold, shine and tame it. It's been on the market for nearly 20...

Did you know that Boots started shipping to Slovenia and some other European countries? We can finally get Collection 2000 concealer, Seventeen's Mirror Shine lipsticks, Origins, aerosols and all the light shades of foundations importers refuse to sell on our market. I jumped at the chance when they were running the famous 3 for 2 offer and placed my first order there. They accept...

I love trying new hair products, even if the product description doesn't completely fit my needs. Pret-a-powder really appealed to me from the moment I heard about it. It's an interesting concept of a dry shampoo, volumising powder and style extender in one that should extend the life of a blow out and give you one more day of presentable hair.  Texture: It's...
