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

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

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! :)

YoungBlood Natural Mineral Loose Foundation

I live in Europe which means that I get around to some other brands then the people in the states do, even though I would switch with them, because they have so much to choose from and it isn't near as expensive as her in Europe. Anyway I have one brand that was one of the first brands that I started using when I started using make up and that Brand is Youngblood. I haven't heard anybody really talk about that brand before, which is a shame, but it is a really good brand it is expensive, but I think it's worth the money well at least this product is according to me. 

The product that I want to talk about today is a powder foundation from Youngblood, which is really good, for people who's just starting to use make up, because it gives a good result and it last for a long time, so you don't have to spend money it all the time, but only once in a while. 

The product looks like this (I'm so sorry that it's so dirty):













It's a Natural Mineral Loose Foundation and I use the color Tawnee. I have been using this product for about 4 years now and I really love it. In the beginning this was the only thing I used everyday and it lasted me for over a year, and the quality keeps being good. I really love the way it blends into the skin, because it doesn't look powdery or anything like that. It looks very natural, and it's so easy to work with  , I use my Nilens Jord diamond kabuki brush which is really good as well. 

I love using this when my skin is behaving good and I don't have too many blemish that I want to cover  like crazy, but it's a good thing to use to even your skin tone out and get a beautiful skin. 

It is expensive, but it lasts for a long time, and it is worth the money when you ask me, I have repurchased this about 3 times and I still love it. Right now I'm more into trying new things, but I still have this one for when everything else fails because I know how good it is and I simply just love it :) 

It also last a long time on your skin, and it also easy to put in your bag and then just have it with you refreshen your face, and then your ready to go again, because it's not difficult to apply. 


If you haven't heard about the brand or this product then check it out because they have some good things and their blushes are good as well. 

Have a good day :)
