Mascara Series: Cover Girl Last Blast

I live in Denmark, so when I go to the US I didn't bring a lot of make up, because I love buying new make up, and in the US they have a lot of brands that we don't have in Denmark and they are a lot cheaper. The first thing I ever bought was the Cover Girl Last Blast Mascara and I even remember applying it for the first time in Las Vegas where me and my sister were going out. I have loved that mascara ever since. I know there has been a big hype about it, and I also know that not every body is crazy about this mascara, which is normal. 

I have always had problems with mascara smudging on me, and this was the first mascara that didn't do that on me, and it was so easy to apply and it looks beautiful on my lashes. So I fell in love with this mascara and it is the only mascara I have back up of, because I just love it that much. 

It's so easy to apply even though the brush is so big, it just covers your lashes amazing.  It doesn't clump.  The mascara lasts all day,without smudging at all, and it also hold the curl. If I have something important to attend then this is always my first choice I don't think about it, I just pick this mascara its that good. One of the other things is that it isn't that expensive which is lovely. 

This is the best mascara ever at least for me it is and it is my favorite mascara and I have repurchased it multiple times before, and I like the brown, the brown/black and the pure black one and I have used all of them before. So for me this is a winner mascara. 

Have a nice day :)

Beauty Blender!

So I have heard a lot of hype about the Beauty Blender so I decided to buy it and try it out for myself and I have to say that I really like it. It is so easy to use and if you make a mistake with your blush then you just gently stipple with the Beauty blender over your cheek and it blends in so naturally. 

What I do when I use it is I make sure that it is really soaked and then I squeezes it dry and gently wrap a towel around it making sure I got all of the water out of it so it's only damped, and then I lay it on my make up table as I apply my primer and my eye make up and then I apply my foundation, so when I use the Beauty Blender then its not soaking wet, which it shouldn't be, but it is damped. It is so easy to use you just either pump some foundation on your hand and then stipple it onto your skin or you pump it directly on the beauty blender and stipple it in.

I love the fact that it is damped so it doesn't soak up all of your foundation. I use it every morning because it doesn't make any marks on your face and it just makes a flawless look, which I love. 

I would say if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a foundation brush, then the Beauty Blender is a good choice, because it can also be used to blend out your concealer so its like two in one. 

It is also a lot easier to clean then one of my Sigma brushes so you don't have to spend so much time on cleaning it either which is a big plus and I didn't buy the cleanser that "belongs" to the beauty blender, I just use baby shampoo which works really good. 

I know it might be a lot of money on a sponge, but if you see it on a sale then buy it because it is worth it. I sadly can't compare it to other sponges, but I do plan on trying out some others, and see if I can find a cheaper option to this sponge. 

I hope this helped :) 

Mascara Series: They're Real By Benefit

So I have finally finished my They're Real! Mascara and I have to say that I loved using this mascara.  It's really easy to use and I just love the brush. Some mascaras are really good, but the brush doesn't make the finish perfect before you have brushed your lashes trough with another brush, you don't have this problem with this mascara and often if my lashes look to clumpy when not using this mascara I have always combed them though with this mascara to make them look separated. 

As you can see then the brush isn't a typical brush. Its has a bit different shape, and I love the small bristles it has on the tip, because it makes it so much easier to get your lashes covered in the corner of the eyes. I did have some kind of smudge with this Mascara, but a lot of mascara smudge on me except my precious Cover girl last blast, but after a while then it kind of stopped smudging on me which made me like it even more. 

Its a really good mascara that I would defiantly buy again, because it works really well, you just have to watch it with not using too many coats, or at least my lashes can handle a couple of coats, but at some point it will look like your lashes are spider legs, but after using it a couple of times, then I found the perfect balance. 

It is a bit expensive since it is a mascara that you have to change often, but I think it is worth it for those special nights where you just want your make up to be perfect and you don't want to use false eye lashes. If you aren't into false eyes lashes, but still the want the look, then you should try this one, because it is really good at defining your eyes lashes even with dramatic make up, behind it. I won't repurchase it right away, because I have to many mascaras to go though, but if I find it on sale and I can get a good deal in it, then it will go right into my basket.

Have a good day :)  

Maybelline Dream Creamy Foundation Review

I'm a big fan of the Maybelline Dream Matt Mouse Foundation, because first of all its just so easy to work with and it gives the most beautiful look on the skin. Now I have finally tried the Maybelline Dream Creamy foundation. I can already say I'm a big fan of that one as well. I use the color 30 Sand, which just matches my skin perfectly, and there is nothing worse than when your foundation doesn't match at least not to me, so I'm glad that I have found the perfect color for me. 

I like that this foundation is so easy to work with and it has some kind of cooling effect when you apply it. If feel a bit off or if my skin feels irritated or my skin is really red one day, then this is the foundation that I use. It feels so good on the skin and it's so easy to apply it takes no time. I have applied this with a sigma F 80 and a beauty blender and it works perfectly with both.  

I don't think this foundation last all day, you do need to touch up, but with this foundation it's so easy to do the touch ups because this foundation doesn't look caky at all. It has such a natural finish and it feels so amazing on the skin. I wish it would last a bit better on the skin, but with the perfect primer then it might be perfect. For right now I love using it and I will buy this foundation again, because it is so easy. 

It also hydrates your skin in a way I haven't felt in a foundation before, so this will be really good in the summer. It covers really well, I have really red cheeks and it covers it. You can built this foundation up because it won't cake on you, which I just love. It's so thin yet so effective, so defiantly something to try , and if you don't like it as a foundation, then use it as concealer :) 

As you can see the package is a nice little compact solution, you have the foundation and a little sponge, so its easy to place in your back and have it with you during the day. So all in all I would try this foundation out and see if it works for you, because if it does then it's an amazing product, if not then it is a really good touch up product to care with you, but I will continue to use it as a foundation because I just love it. 

Have a nice Weekend! :) <3 

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in Place Eyshadow Base

I love making different kind of looks with the make up that I have, and I know that sometimes might looks might be over done, for school, but honestly I don't care because I love playing around with and I want to use the lovely products that I am surrounded with and with the products that I have spend my precious money one buying. 

When you do use eyeshadows and wear them not only at night when you are going out, but also during the day then you want something to make it last longer, and I have been testing out a new primer or at least its new for me. I haven't heard so much about this primer so I thought why not talk about it myself. 

 The primer I am talking about is the Double Wear Stay-in Place Eyeshadow Base From Estée Lauder. This Eyeshadow base is a part of the double wear collection as you can hear on the name. Before I'll tell you what I think about it, I would like to state what Estée Lauder says about the product, they claim that: 

"Keeps your eye color in place with 15-hour staying power and keeps it smooth and crease-free." 

The product is Dermatologist-tested, ophthalmologist-tested and Fragrance free, which I really like. This eyeshadow base cost $16 on their online store. 

When I started using this product then I didn't really knew how to make it work, because it did crease on me, which I of course didn't expect. Then I started to change the things I was doing before I applied it, like not putting any foundation on my eyelids, and things like that, but it still didn't work, BUT then I discovered my mistake...I put way too much on of this product. You only need a really thin layer and when I started using a thin layer then it made my eyeshadow last a lot longer than it did before. 

I have to say that I love the eyeshadow sticks from Gosh which I have used as my eyeshadow base for years, and I also like the Urban Decay primer potion. I can't say that this eyeshadow base is the most amazing one that I have ever tried, but it does make your eyeshadow last, and it is easy to work with as well. 

It will work for all skin types, and it will last you a long time. I will continue to use this primer, but I'm not sure that I will return to it, because there are so many more primers I want to try out there and I love my Color tattoo as eyeshadow bases as well. 

If you need an eyeshadow base in a flesh tone then I would by this one, because it is good, not amazing and wow, but just normally good, and I use it everyday so I do really like it. 

I hope you all have a good day :) 

  

Comforting Cream Cleanser From Clinique

So I'm a girl that is good at getting loads of product collect, but they have started to fill so much in my room that I didn't know where to place in anymore so I decided to start using all of the things that I have collect over last couple of months. 

So I ran out of cleanser for my skin care routine so I went into the draws that I have with skin care products and I picked the Comforting Cream Cleanser From Clinique, which I have never tried before even though I love Clinique skin care products and have used Clinique for years. 

I started with using this Comforting Cream Cleanser just before winter really started, which I have to say is the perfect time to switch over to something more creamier so it doesn't dry out your skin. I have combination skin, but it comes more dry in the winter and this cleanser have been perfect for my dry skin.  It feels so lovely on the skin really creamy and it doesn't dry your skin out at all. 

I just put a little dot into my hand and then add a little bit of water then I massage it into my face and then I wash it off and pad dry my skin and then I just continue with my skin care routine. 

I have just bought a Clarisonic Mia and it works really well with that one as well. I just finish the bottle yesterday, and when I have gone through my products that I have waiting for me then this one is defiantly one of the cleansers that I will return to, especially during winter because it is so creamy. 

This is what Clinique says about the product: 

"xtra-gentle, creamy-rich cleanser is perfect for dry, delicate or sensitive skins. Whipped to perfection so it glides easily over skin, melting makeup and impurities. Leaves your complexion clean, smooth, moist. Massage on, tissue or rinse off." 

I have to agree to what Clinique is saying about this product because it is really good and I have really loved using this product, because it is so easy to work with and it feels so nice on the skin. It doesn't smell of anything because as most of you know then Cliniques products are 100 % fragrance free which I love because if something smells too much of perfume then I hate putting it on my face. 

But this product has become one of my favorite cleansers, so if you are into Clinique products then remember to check this one out! :) 

Have a good day! :) 

Mascara Series: One By One Volume Express

So Mascara is something we all use almost everyday and which is something that should stay on our lashes and not create even darker bags under our eyes. I have a lot of mascaras that I have to go through , so I thought why not make a mascara series. So here it is! :) 

I have finally finished my Maybelline One by one volume express, which looks like this: 

I wasn't crazy about this mascara when I started using it, and I have to say that I never really am crazy about a mascara when I start use it, because I think you have to get used to a Mascara and you need to figure out how you put the mascara on the best with the brush that comes with the mascara. 

I didn't hate this one as I have done with some mascaras, but I have to say I have a love hate relationship with the brush. I really like how the brush work on this mascara and it might be a bit hard to see on the picture, but it's a very spiky brush if you can say it like that, its very pointy. In the beginning I had to get used to using it without it hurting my eye, but now that I have used it for a long time, it doesn't hurt my eyes  anymore, but the brush can be a bit rough against the eye. 

The mascara it self is good. I don't think its's amazing because I do see some darkness under my eyes, when I have used it for a little while, which I don't see with the Cover Girl lash blast and I love that Mascara, but it covers my eyelashes with a nice coat of mascara, and it doesn't clump with is a big thumps up for me! 

It's also good for separating your lashes, and for the price then I would by it just to use it to separate my lashes,  but then again it's not a bad mascara at all. It's not hard to remove either so you don't have to pull on your lashes with is nice. 

I feel like there is a lot of mascaras like this out there, so it hasn't left an big impression on me it was just another mascara I had to use up. If this was the only mascara left in the world then I wouldn't be sad about it, because it is a good mascara. 

I will give it 4 out of 5 :) 

I hope you liked this review and have good day! :)
