Hello! I am so excited to announce that I finally got my first MAC lipstick! Many beauty bloggers say that MAC lipsticks are iconic products that made MAC famous so I am really pumped to try them out and see if they are truly worth the hype. This may look strange, but instead of getting a natural everyday colour I got a quite dramatic one. It's in shade 'Stone' and it's matte. As MAC describes it, it's a muted greyish taupe brown. And I love it! A makeup look rocking this shade is coming up soon. Stay tuned!
Hello! Today I wanted to share with you one of my recent discoveries - hair care series for fine, flat hair, which is missing moisture and volume! This line's aim is to leave the hair intensely moisturised and with up to 95% more volume. When I saw this line, I immediately understood that it's made for me. I have straight, flat, fine and dry hair with no body at all. It has always been like this and I thought that there is no solution for it, but appears that there is. It's Dove Advanced Hair Series Oxygen & Moisture.
This specific series comes with 4 different products: shampoo, conditioner, Souffle treatment and root lift spray.
On the daily basis, I use shampoo and conditioner and several times per week I use root lifting spray, which are all great products and work together really well. Shampoo foams really easily and smells very fresh and for some reason it reminds me of flowers. Conditioner smells even fresher, I would like to have a perfume that would smell like this actually! Another great thing about these two products is that you need just a little of the product. On my clean, wet hair roots I spray root lift spray. This light
mist targets the roots, a part of your hair that’s often weighed down. You can
use it on damp hair for an instant root lift whilst styling, or on dry hair for
a boost of moisturisation and hair volume. On the packaging it says that you should spray it to your hair from 10 to 12 times for the best results and when style it with a hair blow dryer. That I don't like about this product is the smell. It kinda smells like vinegar, which is not a lovely scent and hair is not the right place to smell like that. After blow drying I can still feel that unpleasant smell, but after a few minutes it goes away. And guys, this product actually works! It really lifts my roots, which for me is like the 8th Wonder of the World ha ha.
When I want to pamper my hair I also use the Souffle treatment. The consistency reminds me of the hair mask, but I feel that it works similar to the conditioner. It should leave your hair smooth, soft, moisturised and bouncy. By the way, the smell of this product is the strongest in the whole series, but it's still really fresh and not irritating at all.
Overall, this series really impressed me. I did not use Dove hair care products before and this series left so many positive emotions that I just can't hold my satisfaction! If you have a similar hair type to mines, I definitely recommend trying this series! My current hair care routine mainly consists of these 4 products. I really have noticed the change. My hair now has a lot more volume, is more shiny, and I also noticed that my hair does not get static that much as it used to, which means that my hair is a lot more moisturised now.
You can read more about this series, see the ingredients, prices, reviews the other people did and a lot more here.
Thank you Dove so much for picking this specific hair series and being kind enough to send it to me to try out! I really appreciate that!
Hello! Today I am doing another review on one of the Born Pretty Store beauty products, this time it's their Charming Long Lasting Matte Lipstick (link here) in shade #18. If you are not already familiar, Born Pretty Store is an online store based in China, which offers totally affordable and usually discounted products like clothing, jewelry, accessories, makeup, nail care stuff and etc. and also ships worldwide for free with no minimum orders. Now, back to the review!
The first thing that you notice is the packaging. Lipstick comes in a hot pink color box with an additional cardboard cover over it. I actually really like the design, because it's quite different, but still very simple. The plastic is really great quality, shiny and has some weight, which feels really sturdy in the hands. Another great thing is that it clasps really easily, but securely.
The consistency is really creamy, lipstick applies very easy and smooth, has the matte finish. The color is surprisingly very pigmented. As I mentioned before, I got shade #18, which in the picture looked like a nudish pink. but I would describe the color as a saturated color of your own lips. It's a very wearable shade, which looks really natural and is not too vibrant. You can see some swatches I made down bellow!
When I wear this lipstick I either forget that I have something on my lips or I feel like I have some kind of lip balm, because it's so smooth and not drying at all, which is really rare for matte lipsticks! Talking about how long lasting it is, it stayed vibrant on my lips for about 2 hours and when it started fading away, but it faded in a really natural and neat way and I actually did like the a bit faded look. It faded away completely after about 6 hours.
Overall, I am really happy with this product so far, it's a very great lipstick for its price. What impressed me the most was quality of the packaging and a very comfortable and enjoyable feeling of the product on my lips. I haven't seen any reviews on this lipstick yet, but it works great for me:) I am really looking forward to trying out more shades of this lipstick!
