Pantene Smooth & Sleek Shampoo Review

We all know that some times our hair can change a bit in texture and suddenly it doesn't want to do that things we want it do, and we all just love those periods, not! I have really thick hair, its frizzy and it's not completely straight or curly so its kind of in between so you always need to work with it for it to look nice, so I either have to add heat or put it up in a hairdo, for it to look nice. I had a little crises with my hair going from blond to dark brown then from dark brown to blond again in a short period of time. I got it bleached a lot and then I let it grow and got highlights added in as my hair grew so now I have my natural hair color with highlights in it. For a long time I just let my hair grow so I kinda got a natural ombre, but about a week ago I got new highlights in. 

Anyway the product that I want to talk about today is the Pantene Smooth & Sleek Shampoo. I have used Pantene for many years and I have always loved their scent of their shampoo and conditioner. 

When I was growing out my hair then the Bed head Dumb Blond Shampoo got a bit too greasy for my hair, because it was only the lower part of my hair that was blond, so I found this shampoo and decided to use it, and I feel in love with it!

Its a white shampoo with a creamy consistency, and I really like the smell. It's so easy to use and it worked wonders for my hair. My hair became smooth and sleek just as it says it will be. It made my hair so soft and nice. 

This shampoo is for normal - thick hair which matches mine perfectly. If you walk pass this line, then check it out, I have just started using the heat protector and I really like that one too. It's a cheap good shampoo and can be used even on colored hair, which I love. I have some extras laying waiting on me to use them because I love this product so much so check it out, because it will make your hair smooth and sleek, and you won't be able to stop touching your hair. I haven't tried the conditioner, but I'm sure its just as good as the shampoo, because Pantene normally makes really good conditioners as well. 

Have a good day :) <3

Bodyscrub is a must have in these cold months, its also important in the summer to, but in the winter it is a must! I wouldn't really call these body scrubs from the brand I love...<3, because they aren't really as rough as a normal bodyscrub or at least as what I would define as a bodyscrub. This scrub is a scrub that you can use everyday, because it is so soft and the beads in the scrub aren't so rough. 

It is a really creamy soft scrub, if that makes sense, with a yummy smell. I have tried these before, but when I saw them when I was on a shopping trip in Germany, then I couldn't resist because I love the smell of them. Lucky me they smell just like their name says they will smell, so i don't have to go into details with that. Right now I'm using the Mango & Papaya and it has a nice summer scent and I should probably have saved it for summer, but I have a papaya body butter from The Body shop that I'm trying to use up right now, so I thought these two products would make a nice pair, and they do. I love that is such a smooth scrub and I do use a scrub that is a bit more rough once in a while when I feel my skin needs it, otherwise this is enough for my dry skin, to make it look good and feel nice and smooth. I also bought hand creams that from this brand and I really like those as well. I can't really say anything bad about this product because you could use it as a normal body wash or you can use it as a scrub thats up to you. I use it everyday because it is so gentle, so it doesn't hurt my skin in anyway, and they aren't that expensive either so that is nice. I hope this helps a little bit if you should stumble over this brand. 

Have a nice day :) <3

NYX The Runway Collection - 03 Caviar & Bubbles Review

Neutral eyeshadows is always a good thing to have in your collection, because you can use them with everything and anything. You can also use them everyday and you can use them in the evening as well when you are going out. There has been a BIG hype around the Naked palettes from Urban Decay, which makes sense because they are really good palettes, and really beautiful palettes, BUT if you aren't a make up junkie and you just need a few neutrals that is easy to work with and is of good quality, then I would say invest in the NYX The Runway Collection in number 03 Caviar & Bubbles. 

 

This palette contains 10 eyeshadows of really good quality, and in a good neutral color range as well, as you can see in the picture. There is all the colors you need to create a beautiful day look and a dramatic night look.

 One of the things that I LOVE about this palette is that, it is so small, which makes it so easy to travel with and you don't need to really take other eyeshadows with unless, you want color, but if you are into neutrals then this is perfect and so easy to use. I haven't had any problems with these eyeshadows, they are also really easy to blend, and they look beautiful on the eyes, I just can't say enough good things about this lovely little palette.


 I regret not being more of them because I was looking at a palette where it was full of purple colors, but I put it back which I shouldn't have done. There is also one with green colors, grey, lighter colors, so its just finding the one that you will get the most use out of. I the thing is when the palette is so small then it doesn't matter if you have to take two with you because you won't notice, and even though the palette is small you still get a lot of eyeshadow, and it isn't expensive at all.  As you can hear then I love this palette and I will recommend it for everybody because its just really good. 

I hope you all have a good day :) 

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
