Review: Nail Hardener - MAVALA

Image
Let's go for a new review! Today will be about a product I use all months since this April. And with the current season - Winter - our nails are much soft and breaking easily, but the super product for this kind of problem is ...   Mavala Scientifique Nail Hardener by MAVALA Switzerland. I bought it in April because my nails was more soft, split and broke really easily, so when I was at my pharmacy, I ask the pharmacist who advise me this ' magicial ' product. You can buy it on eshop, pharmacy and beauty shop. Price: approx. 12€/5ml . Experience has proven that the tip of the nail is the most fragile part which easily breaks and therefore should be strengthened. MAVALA Scientifique hardens the nail plate by joining the three nail layers together and allowing the nail to grow normally. MAVALA Scientifique strengthens soft nails by stopping them from breaking or splitting. Unique formula since 1959 ! (description by the brand) . The packaging & formula: A little

Advent Calendar Part.2

Image
Hi ! We are the 24th December it's the Christmas Eve and we have all open the last door of our Advent Calendar 😁 Soo I will show you what I had on my beauty advent calendar Cristina Cordula (brezilian/french fashionista) . First it's a pretty calendar, but for the packaging of the beauty products are plastic and like ' Barbie ' makeup with a lot of pink shade. So the summary: - 4 x 4 eyeshadows palette. - 4 lipstick - 1 blush - 4 nails lacquer - 4 lipgloss - 1 black eyes pencil - 6 accessories - I'm sorry in advence for the quality of the pics, some products are really light color so they are really discreet on my swatch, don't hesitate to clic on the pic for zoom -   The Eyeshadows palettes: N°1 : The purple and lilac are not too much pigmented and the result is really light. For the bright pink and dark pink, good pigmentation, I think to use the dark pink the others colors are not really the eyeshadow color I use normally.

F.I: Perfecting concealer - NudebyNature

Image
A second First Impression about this time the Concealer of NudebyNature. The Perfecting Concealer. Like for my fondation, I buy the NudebyNature Concealer on Feelunique in the same time of the Luminous Sheer Liquid Foundation NudebyNature. I prefer to use the same brand for the foundation and the concealer, to be sure to have the same color. My last concealer was the Long lasting concealer by Chanel (used before a Chanel fondation). The price: 25.50€/5.9ml ... I find it really expensive compared to the foundation, but I had a promotional code, so I buy it (I'm weak) 😅 . The reference of my foundation is the C1 Ivory so I buy the 01 Ivory color for the concealer. The board of the shade for help you to find your skin tone reference. clic for zoom The description by the brand:  The Perfecting Concealer instantly covers dark circles, disguises puffiness, hyper-pigmentation and blemishes. Enriched with Australian native Kakadu Plum , Vitamin E , Jojoba and Shea

Review: Lip balm - EOS

Image
Hi ! A little review on my new best cosmetic friend, the lip balm Coconut milk by EOS (Evolution Of Smooth). I buy it when I was at Berlin in a DM Market (German drugstore), I was happy because I never see EOS lip balms on my area of France (I not specialy search too) . It was a good surprise so I buy it! I choose the flavor Coconut Milk in pink packaging (I like pink, maybe too much).  The price: around 4/5€ I don't remenber well. The product detail by the brand: EOS Visibly Soft(TM) Coconut Milk Lip Balm, enriched with natural conditioning oils , moisturizing shea butter and antioxidant vitamins C & E , nourishes for immediately softer, more beautiful lips. 99% natural. Long-lasting moisture for immediately softer, more beautiful lips. Shea butter & vitamins C & E. Smoothes on clear. Precisely glides on lips. Twist-off top. Petrolatum-free. Paraben-free.

F.I: Luminous sheer liquid foundation - NudebyNature

Image
Hi guys ! Today will be a 'First Impression' (F.I) about my new foundation, let's go! 😊 I always use since 4 years the Perfection Lumière Velvet by CHANEL and I would like to change and try another lightweight foundation, so I search and find it. It's the Luminous Sheer Liquid Foundation by NudebyNature . I buy the foundation on Feelunique, it was in my wishlist since some months and my current Chanel foundation was soon empty so I order it.  You can find it mainly on eshop. The price: 32€/30ml. It's not easy to by a foundation/powder/conclear on eshop because you can't see and try if it's your good skin tone, for me, I asked by the live chat with a Feelunique assistant and explain the color of foundation I use (the Chanel in 10 Beige Perfection Lumiere Velvet) and she answer me the reference I need to order for the NudebyNature foundation (color: C1 Ivory). I was hesitated just before to received the foundation about the color bu

Review: Revitalising facial scrub - SUKIN

Image
Next is ... Revitalising facial scrub by SUKIN  It's one of my Sukin products, Sukin is an Australian organic brand, with: 100% Vegan / No Animal Testing / 100% Carbon neutral / No Sulphates (SLS & SLES) / No Synthetic Fragrances / No Animal Derivatives / No Harsh Detergents / No Propylene Glycol / No Artificial Colours / No Triethanolamine / No Mineral Oils / No EDTA and No Parabens . So I was totally interested by their products for that, a clean brand and now I search much and I try more natural/organic brands for skincare, haircare and makeup if I find good products but it's not always easy. I buy this product on Feelunique for 11.50€/125ml. This gentle cleanser uses non-abrasive, micro particles of bamboo extract and ground walnut shells to remove dirt and impurities leaving clean, radiant skin. Aloe vera and chamomille work to soothe skin and rose hip , jojoba and sesame replenish and protect the skin's moisture barrier. (the des

Review: Purifying Mask Cocoa Butter - PALMER'S

Image
Next is ... Purifying Mask Cocoa Butter by PALMER'S  It's my second products of this brand, I searched a 'not to expensive' face mask on Feelunique for my 'Christmas order' and I find this one, this price 9€/120g I find really interesting.  This mask is suitable for all skin types, Kaolin clay gently dries on the surface of the skin to deep clean and draw out impurities. Cococa butter, and Shea butter impart light hydration, whilr Aloe Vera, Chamomila and Milk proteins soothe stressed skin. (the brand description) . Beneficial Ingredients: Cococa & Shea butter => deeply moisturise and nourish. Vitamine E => powerful antioxidant. Kaolin => gently dries to detox and purify. Sweet almond oil => lightweight skin emolient. About the packaging: A white tube (another one), with some pink and brown, 'easy' to use, and pratical packaging for vanity case. I try it yesterday but like the Yes To Mud Mask, the tube is n

Review: Detoxifying Charcoal Mud Mask - YES TO

Image
Hi ! 😊 Today will be a 'review' day, so let's go!                     The  Detoxifying Charcoal Mud Mask Tomatoes by YES TO . I'm interested by this brand because of the " food care " products, like Skin Food (Korean Brand). You can find their products on drugstore or eshop, for me, I buy it on Feelunique for 16.90€/93g. The 'Tomatoes' line is for combination or oily skin type, acne and breakouts, the goal it's to clear up the acne, reduce severity of blemishes, and minimes the breakout. (the description of the line by the brand) . About the packaging: It's a pratical packaging, a plastic tube, normally easy to use. First try was 'easy' because the tube was full but after some use, it was more difficult to take out the product, so I think for this king of formula it's better in pot than in tube. We can read on it: 96% Natural Ingredients / Paraben-free / Without SLS and Silicones . The directions:  Apply a gen

Hi everyone ! New article today and really fresh, it's about bleaching hair, and how I make that on my hair. I just finish it 😉 - I'm not Professionnal on haircolor so I watch and read a lot of video about bleaching hair, and I ask some advice of my seller when I buy my Bleaching Blue Powder, if you hesitate ask to a professionnal - I need to bleach my hair to pastel yellow/white for after dying in silver grey, so let's go! On the morning I was to the haircut, but my hairdresser fail my haircut and it's tooooo short, but I will make my dreamy silver grey hair even they are tooooo short, they will grown fast so no problem. Advise: It's better to bleach on "grease" hair (not clean hair) and use coconut oil/butter before and after, because bleaching hair will damaging your hair. And bleach on grease hair wouldn't hurt your than if you make on clean hair. If you want to make your bleach after to be to the haircut [like me today] use coconut
