Glamour Beauty party box edit

Hello ladies, as you may know I love to try new products, specially beauty boxes, and besides Birchbox that I get monthly, I decided to try another box.

This time, I decided to go for a glamour beauty party box from www.latestinbeauty.com. They have different types of boxes, you can build your own box, or you can buy already set boxes.

I decided to go for this box because the products where really good, and the box just cost me £13.95.

 

 

 

 

The fist product that I got was the Philip Kingsley shampoo and conditioner. This duo gives a silky soft hair and replaces the moisture that we loose when styling our hair our because of the winter conditions.  I actually got a few products from this brand in Birchbox and I really like this brand, so looking forward to try them.

Next, is the Vichy Purete Thermale 3 in 1 & the Idealia Life Serum. This cleanser, toner and eye makeup remover, leaves skin feeling smooth and fresh. The serum, you can layer the serum on top to transform dull skin into glowing, bright complexion.

Burt's Bees lip shimmer, I got mine in shade Rhubarb. Besides giving a pop of colour to your lips it also nourishes and hydrates.

This next product I never tried. The Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels.

It works as a pre makeup eye freshener and also as a post party reviver. It gives a bright eyed and rested look.

I think that this is the product that I didn't really need in this box. Collection Lengthening Mascara, I just think I have so many mascaras, don't really need another one, but I can always give it to a friend, so its not really a problem.

 

 

The Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in shade Black Amethyst. This eye liner is just amazing. It is a budge proof liner, definitely long lasting. You can also use it to create a Smokey eye, you just have to blend it before it sets.

Xen-Tan Luminous Gold Gel, well I don't really think I will be using this product, considering that I never use tan, I do prefer to be pale. I got the medium shade, a deep gold colour which develops in just three hours.

I really like this nail polish by Lola. I do prefer darker colours so I thought this shade was perfect, I received the 005 in Stone Grey. Suitable for all skin tones.

I also received a L'Oreal Paris Elnett Satin. I use this product quite a lot, so I was happy to receive this product, and it is a size that you can just put in your handbag or use it to travel.

I also received an eye shadow, and it was actually my favourite shade.  You can use this eye shadow across the lid to create a Smokey eye or you can use it with a wet brush if you prefer a long lasting intensive finish.

The last product was actually a Pop band London. Not sure if I will use it or not, not rally a big fan of them. They are elasticated, no-dent bands which will keep your hair in place.

I really thought that this box was a good quality one, with products that you can use daily, and for the price that it was, it is a little bit difficult to go wrong with them. And the best thing is that inside the box you get discount codes for the brands that you recieve in the box. I got discount codes of 20% for Lola, 15% off of Vichy  and 25% off Wild about beauty.

Well ladies, and this is the end of this post, I hope you enjoyed reading it and let me know on comments if you have tried any beauty boxes and what you thought of them!!

Take care

Pixi mesmerizing mineral palette

Hello everyone today I am bringing a post about the Pixi Mesmerizing Mineral Palette.

I don't really own a lot of  products from this brand, so when I saw on www.beautybay.com that there was an offer I thought would be a great opportunity to try a product.

 

The palette contains six mineral eye shadows, with a little bit of shimmer and you can choose from three different palettes.

 

I decided to go for the Silver Sky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't normally go for palettes with shimmer, I prefer matte eye shadows, but in this occasion, there isn't a lot of shimmer, so its perfect for me, I consider them wearable.

 

 



 



From right to left: The first shade is white with a little bit of  silver shimmer, next is a matte pink almost with a creamy texture, next is a metallic brown, an dark grey shade with a little bit of a purple undertone, next is a cool sparkly silver and finally a blue with a black undertone shade.

 

I do think it is a good palette, the shimmery colours area a little bit difficult to blend, specially if you want to create a Smokey eye, but if you just want to use one shade on your eyelids its not bad.

I don't really think I would buy another palette, except if probably were just matte colours, but I paid £8.45 I think, so it wasn't that bad I think.

 

Let me know if you tried any products of this brand, and what you think.

 

Take care

Favoritos do momento!!! :)

Bem meninas sejam bem-vindas de volta. Eu não fiz blogs ultimamente, porque eu estava muito ocupada e ano novo com tanta coisa para fazer !!!! mas estou de volta !!!

   Como você pode ver este post vai ser em Português, porque nós utimamente tivemos muitos gostos em nossa página no Facebook (que bom !!!), então decidi fazer um post de alguns produtos  que tenho gostado nos últimos meses !!!


O primeiro produto e Loreal Paris e Lumi e primer e já estou a usar esta primer desde o mês de junho do ano passado. Esta primer, além de fazer a maquilhagem dure mais tempo também da alguma  iluminação, perfeito para aqueles que preferem uma maquilhagem mais com brilho do que um look matte.

 

 

 

 

O produto seguinte toda a gente fala e toda gente quer !! E, claro, a paleta de Barra de chocolate da marca Too Faced. Eu tenho que dizer que eu realmente não gosto do fato da aparência da paleta, da sensação da paleta ser barata ou até mesmo replica, considerando o preço, eu acho que a paleta deve ser como o veludo do lado de fora, para dar um toque de sofisticação.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Mas quando  abro a paleta, as cores bonitas, e o cheiro de chocolate !!! Começando nas cores, diferentes tons de castanho e bege tons de roxo, tem uma cor para todos. 

 

Pode começar criando um belo look de dia e depois e so aplicar   um pouco de castanho escuro ou um pouco de roxo para criar um look perfeito para a noite. A formulação deste paleta contém cacau em pó, daí o cheiro de chocolate, pigmentação e muito bom e fácil de usar.

A paleta também contém alguns looks,explicando passo a passo, para aqueles que não têm muita experiência com maquilhagem, so seguir as instruções para criar um look perfeito.

 

 

 Eu gosto muito  dos produtos da Urban Decay, a qualidade e muito boa, e o preço também e acessível.

Eu sou fa das  paletas da coleção Naked, mas recentemente (bem desde há alguns meses!!) eu comecei a usar Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Uso depois de aplicar a maquilhagem e faz com que o maquilhagem dure mais tempo, mesmo usando primer e pó às vezes não e sufeciente, é so aplicar o spray e problema resolvido !!

 

 

 

O próximo produto e um perfume e, claro, da marca  Marc Jacobs,Daisy. Eu adoro Marc Jacobs,  e uma marca de muita qualidade. Eu prefiro aromas mais fortes que o cheiro doce, mas este perfume, apesar de ser de flores, como o nome diz, também tem um cheiro forte, mas ainda contem o seu lado feminino. Eu uso este perfume todos os dias, e levo sempre na minha mala, adoro !!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

O próximo e último produto e marca MAC, batom na cor Rebel. Eu adoro batoms vermelhos e cores escuras. Esta cor e um roxo escuro e é uma cor linda !!!

 

 

 

A cor dura muito nos lábios, mas é sempre melhor usar um lápis de lábios. Este batom e também muito bom porque não deixa os lábios secos, deixa os lábios hidratados.

 

 

 

 Bem, estes são os produtos que tenho usado ao longo do tempo. Espero que tenham gostado deste post, mas eu acho que o meu Português esta ficando um pouco enferrujado, e levei horas a escrever porque o meu teclado esta programado em ingles.!!

Deixem a sua opiniao!!!

 

 

Obrigada a todos!!!

 

Ate a proximo post lindas

January Birchbox

Well ladies I haven't been writing a lot because I have just so busy with work and so many other things!! but I am back!!! and today I am talking you through what I got on my January Birchbox. for those of you that don't know what Birchbox is, it is a monthly beauty box that you subscribe to, and after filling a questionnaire, every month they will send you products according to what you like.

This month Birchbox in partnership with Women's Health created a box to help start the year in the best way possible.

The first product that I got was a 12 bite sized challenge, like a diary, so you can commit to your routine and keep motivated.

It contains challenges such as eating more vegetables for breakfast, slim down your gym bag or even sit smarter, then in the back it has some tips to help you achieve each one of the challenges.

The next product was a body building conditioner from Philip Kingsley. It is supposed to transform lifeless locks and helps seal flyaways, with protein conditioner. To use it just massage it, after shampooing, into the mid-lengths and ends of your hair and rinse after. (RRP £19.00).

Next, the Vinoperfect Radiance Serum from Caudalie, which is oil-free, evens skin tone, boots radiance and moisturises for a glowing complexion. After cleansing, smooth a thin layer onto face, you can use alone or you can use before moisturiser. (RRP £45.00).

I love drinking green tea, so I was quite happy that I received one this month. it is from Embrance Tea. It is 100% more natural with 10 times de antioxidants of regular green tea. You can drink it with hot water or you can just mix it with smoothies and juices. Some people may think it is expensive, considering that it is just tea, but I think that if its good quality, it is worth paying. (RRP £24.99).

I also received an intensive from HealGel, supposed to protect and restore skin with an infusion of organic silicone, collagen-boosting peptides and arnica. you can apply directly on your areas of concern or as a lightweight moisturising lotion. (RRP £37.50).

From Activbod I received on my box a cooling finish lotion, it will re-energise after a workout, contains menthol lotion. To use it you just have to massage it into the skin. (RRP £12.00).

I do have to say that I wasn't impressed by this product at all. it is a lip glaze by Stila. You just have to twist the click pen until the product starts to emerge at the top, then apply it using the brush. to be honest I don't like lip glosses or sheer gloss, so  don't think I will be using this product at all. (RRP £15.00).

The last product is from lifestyle, and this month we received an pilates band, from Birchbox. Don't really think that I will be using this product either. (RRP £7.99).

I have to say that I was quite disappointed with this months Birchbox, I just thought that I got products that I would normally not use at all, and the lip glaze that I don't really like, so I really hope that next months box is better that this one, but this is the first box actually that I didn't like, I always really like Birchbox, but I just felt so disappointed with this months box.
