Must have products!


Well this is a new section that I might be adding here, I don't think I will be doing this every month but whenever I have new favorites then I will write a post about them.

Now here are some of the products that I have been loving not only this month but for some time now :)


I have searched high and low for a decent mascara and I believe I have finally found one!  This mascara will give you unbelievable volume but also a little bit of length, it separates the lashes beautifully and does not clump. Only downside? It takes A LOT to take it off!


For us ''not in our teen years'' ladies out there we have to not only treat our blemishes but also the newly emerging lines.  This face wash will first of all take all of your make up off but also has salicylic acid which is continued to be released even after you are done washing your face.  Retinol is an added ingredient to fight those lines!


Are you new to the bb cream world and not sure which one to get?  If you have oily or acne prone skin and are looking for a full coverage bb cream then this one is for you! It gives a matte finish and will literally cover any imperfection, including those large cysts.  Put a little bit of powder on top so that it lasts all day and you are good to go!


If you have tried everything out there on your blemishes and still see no results then give tea tree oil a go! It is a natural antibacterial and will kill those bacteria that cause blemishes to come to the surface.  It does so without over drying the skin but make sure that you get this specific one from the body shop as it only contains 15% tea tree since I have tried the ones that were 100% and have burnt my skin!


This is THE most amazing powder I have tried so far for keeping your skin looking matte.  I even had another powder at one time and was using that instead of this one and in two hours time I used to get so oily in my t-zone that I had to put this one on top to keep me matte! If you are looking for coverage then you will need to use some sort of concealer under your eye area or on any imperfections that you may have and then use this on top since on its own it doesn't give any coverage.  As far as the scent of it goes, it does have quite a strong scent which you cannot smell once it's on your face, and as far as I am concerned it hasn't broken me out and this says a lot since anything can break me out!


After hearing from the youtube beauty gurus about the Urban Decay makeup setting spray I thought that I would give it a go since I live in a very hot climate and could use something that will make my makeup last longer.  After seeing how much it costs, however, I decided to go for the one I saw at the Body Shop which with the sale was 4.50 Euros and it works perfectly fine.  My face feels instantly refreshed when I spray this on and I have noticed that when I forget to use it, my makeup does not last as long as it would if I had sprayed this on.


I cannot say enough good things about this lipstick from Bourjois, first of all the color (number 17) is amazing for the summer time, it's a soft coral peach with a glossy finish which makes it perfect for both day and night time:) It also stains your lips which I had no idea about and I only discovered it after I had it on for hours, had a meal, had a drink and there was still a hint of color when I looked in the mirror!



This has quickly become one of my favorite perfumes, and when I say quickly I mean as soon as I got it! It has such a sweet and feminine smell that you will instantly fall in love with this.  Since I cannot possibly do it justice in a blog post, if you ever encounter this at a store then give it a sniff and I don't think that you'll be able to walk away without buying it :)
