Avon New In

Hello lovelies,

here are some 'new in' goodies from Avon. If you want me to do some particular make up look, using some of the products from this post, just let me know in the comments down below.

This is not 'in depth' product review. I just wanted to show you what I got recently from Avon, that you may like; I quickly swatched some of the products on my hands. I haven's used these on my face so I can not tell anything about lasting performance. As I said, if you want me to do make up tutorial using some of the new in goodies, I will.

• Avon Ideal Flawless CC Colour Correcting Pearls

These pearls are something I have never ever used before. This pot contains 5 shades of pearls and each shade is meant to do something on your face.

Shine & Glow

Hello lovelies,

it has been a while since I made the post as a make up tutorial using drugstore make up only.

Check out my previous posts, similar to this one. I am sure you will find some inspiration for creating the look using drugstore products. You can find them HERE and HERE!

This look is spring/summer inspired. The previous ones are more autumnal.

So if you like fresh looking make up with shiny and vibrant lips this post is definitely for you :)

For this look I used only Catrice make up. The look is really easy, quick and affordable. I think that anyone can recreate it, and what is more important, it will suit anyone.

If you want to know how I achieved this look, please continue reading :)

Nashi Argan

Hello lovelies,

Let me present you hair care brand this time, but first, let me tell you something about my hair.

I have very long, thick and stubborn hair. For most of the people, it looks amazing. I get compliments on my shiny, natural and healthy hair every time I go to the hairstylist. But what it feels like on my head is totally different from being amazing. I do confess, my hair is really healthy, and I have never had issues with drinking pills to make it grow, or extra nourishing, since it grows like crazy, without even trying too hard. But I leave that to genetics, as all of my sisters, and my mom have the thickest hair and never had trouble with hair loss. But, I'm telling you, my hair is so thick, stubborn, curly and bushlike, that I wish to have it cut, almost every time I wash it. And I do wash it quite often. It takes me half an hour in the bathroom, which for me, is just too much. I am talking about washing and combing only. When it comes to styling, it takes one hour at least. It is curly, therefore, whenever I want polished curls, I need to straighten it first, and then curl it. As I do not want to damage my hair using heat almost every day, I leave it just like it is. And it looks horrible. Like a bush on my head. I have never had it dyed, so I have naturally black hair. No, not dark brown, but black :)

I have never used fancy shampoos, masks, etc. It was always simple regime, and cheap shampoos.

But, once I tried Nashi Argan, I completely fell in love! My hair is much easier to handle, and I find combing less time consuming. It also made my natural curls look more polished, rather than frizzy looking. You could totally see my excitement on the picture below :D

Sariayu (Martha Tilaar)

If you haven't heard of Martha Tilaar, you should definitely check her out. I wrote about other make up brand named PAC  that Martha Tilaar owns. She is the director and owner of Sariayu cosmetics as well. I will introduce you to some of the products from Sariayu range.

First of all, for those who do not know who Martha Tilaar is, here are some interesting facts:

• She is Indonesian president and owner of Martha Tilaar Group, that manufactures and distributes makeup and cosmetics. Her cosmetics have been produced in four different factories, employing over 5000 employees, sold mainly in Indonesia, but also in Europe, Africa and North America.

• Sariayu make up is commited to totally natural beauty care. It offers wide range of products, that are perfect for tropical climate, and they are all made out of natural ingredients, processed by modern technology. 
• It is suitable for warmer climate because of Indonesian women and the place they live in. As they are also modern women, that like make up and take care of their face and body, Sariayu tried to assist those women the best it can. 

Although I do not live in that kind of environment, and I do not have the same skin tone as Indonesian women, I find the natural ingredients perfect for my sensitive skin, and all the colors could be used in some way, no matter how pale I am. I could always use the darker colors for some diverse and vibrant make up looks. Make up should be also playful and fun, right? :)

p.s. I haven't tried the products yet, so stay tuned for some make up looks and reviews in the future, using some of my favourites from the collection.

• Waterproof Mascara

Farmasi New In

Hello lovelies,
this is the first time I have tried Farmasi products, so I bring you the new in pictures and a little review. Although I haven't tried them in the make up looks, I could easily see the advantages and disadvantages only by swatching. Farmasi is Turkish brand that I  have heard of before, but this is the first time to actually use something from their range. I will make some make up posts with my favourite products, so stay tuned if you want to see me creating some looks using Farmasi.

Haute Red

Hello lovelies,
here comes another New In by Avon.
This time they were kind enough to send me such a lovely lip crayons and mascara. To be honest, I could never own too much lipsticks or mascaras.

Avon Ultra Color 3D Plumping Lipsticks

Hello lovelies,
in my last post I presented some of the NEW IN stuff I received from Avon. As I have mentioned, my favourite of the new in are lipsticks, so I promised to make a blog post with make up look using 5 different shades of lipsticks.

I usually wear red lip, and that's my everyday make up. As I wear it with mascara and eyeliner sometimes (if I have enough time to do the flick) this time I decided to make some effort and do a little bit bolder eye look. I didn't have enough time to do proper eye make up look for ages. It was mainly mascara and eyeliner in some occasions. During whole summer, and my vacation, I didn't even use mascara. So I really missed smokey eyes, and fake lashes. Therefore, my look for today is soft smokey eye, with golden shimmers and browns, paired with different shades of lipstick.

Here it is :)
