The mascara carries a majestic name - Volume Million Lashes Panorama promising a volume of million lashes. It comes in two colours, black and brown and I picked both to test as I like to have both colours handy. </span></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqjz3T_vIs3akcN7MCvNAPd1DrD9ZT5SrPhzXlHy9znjiIz1S4zUDF8SakC0IG1pHTBT4naBZ8ZkISgcQ1wBBuaRsmapbb7vFAmd9dxB1_CkKPAC3gErt123y1wy3xq6w324E9RpKdRqyseJag92_UxL0r4sol6E4cQIfT_EZ0-7M34p5RAu3QbR5W7SU/s16000/IMG_4358.jpeg" title="L'Oreal Paris Panorama Review" /></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The </span><a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/loreal-paris/panorama-volume-mascara/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Panorama mascara</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> has a silicone wand with short and quite sharp bristles. I usually like this type of applicator the best but the bristles are a bit too harsh so the application is not very comfortable. My eyes are not irritated during the application but I can feel the bristles being a bit scratchy if that makes sense (keep in mind I wear contacts so my eyes are quite sensitive). That goes for both mascaras. Once applied, this mascara becomes the most comfortable eye product ever but more on that later. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Both colours are quite dry which means there is less mess when applying - less smudges but I think we can assume the mascaras will dry quicker. On the other hand, at least we are forced to stick to an expiry date (I am 'as long as it does not smell bad' kind of gal but I am very strict when it comes to mascaras as my eyes are fairly sensitive). </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFiyrmycL-BvsysXmLZ2LZbaEgzVCF5RSLYlERfrN3cTtZhu4A6_OgVger735UPlZtgoO0zE1T1O9BlK7jvyMC8VFi90_RfshTJFPGjdOPyofgJVHeAPAWFjPzzx-37RiftO7-ShKStiKQIu-iXXYWJnlYyQwOE3YyFBfbSrWNHmsMqH7oQzzLkAVGUr0/s16000/IMG_4361.jpeg" title="L'Oreal Paris Panorama Review" /></span></div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Overall effect is subtle. To get any decent volume, I need to apply several layers which is fine because I feel like the dry formula and layering helps to prevent clumping of the lashes (yay!). I think the mascara goes well with the current trend of less intense looking lashes. </span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">As I already said, neither of the mascaras smudges and it sits comfortably the whole day. I have not cried in it yet (perhaps because I do not wear makeup when working most of the days lol) but the mascara is very much sweat resistant and lasts a whole day without any issues. </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A3OgDfB7rq0" width="320" youtube-src-id="A3OgDfB7rq0"></iframe></span></div><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">As much as the effect is nothing out of the ordinary, this mascara is extremely comfortable to wear. Most drugstore and even high-end mascaras start annoying my eyes after a few hours but this is not the case here and I really appreciate it. This aspect is more important to me than the overall effect and I would always pick more subtle mascara that doesn’t irritate my eyes over a mascara that makes me look like I have thick falsies on but makes me cry dark pigmented tears. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiggkDpu7mKza189p34dDOaFR7__SQY7z2LLsXw5gDkbID70QUc9clzaKFUPY5Or7_y0CLUVTVDAYFffVCwJTYG0ro-iIsfxZ04UtkUy_gpY_mvxutSl8WXRauIdblDKkoEkd1v90cthAA6wmRoWg3YM27RidB_QbDVED8xRRaYlVHosaCBrHo9QohOAz8/s16000/IMG_4360.jpeg" style="text-align: center;" title="L'Oreal Paris Panorama Review" /></span></p><p><span id="docs-internal-guid-f5c69646-7fff-5844-b115-f3cb4a3a912f"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Overall, it's not bad mascara but it's nothing revolutionary especially compared to L'oreal Lash Paradise (here is a recommendation for you if you like to stay faithful to the same brand). If I ever get my hands on this mascara again, I will happily use it but my favourites still are the YSL’s Lash Clash and Maybelline’s Sky High or already mentioned Lash Paradise from L’oreal.</span></span></span></p>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06107113404722667633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-75831076734081216082024-02-28T15:22:00.002+00:002024-02-29T22:28:20.276+00:00Juliette has a gun - Mmmm | Review<p style="border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 236); margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">AD - This perfume was gifted to me for a review</span></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br />If there were an award for the most enigmatic name in the realm of perfume brands, Juliette has a gun would undoubtedly secure a top position. Upon encountering the brand for the first time, I couldn't help but assume it was some obscure joke that I did not understand. However, as it turns out, Juliette has a gun is not only a legitimate brand but also holds a prestigious status in the realm of <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/luxury-perfumes/">luxury perfumes</a>.</span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-lXxjAtju6jwZbjEYiuL1SyumSIHfilTG9hQMv6M5AiA1KZNsdid2FVeWvDE49HXKiSpTxVgFK7f4LMZa4CAuYegXlZCrU3sJxjCYYPCNRiCGYIjvPOZGUJBEdvUXj7Msd0UxPZZhoK6cnKchTXf33nq4In_sAigIsfTyJzrbBD52uQTLrYmBuuzuL0w/s16000/IMG_4347.jpeg" title="Juliette has a gun mmmm review" /></div><br /><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 236); margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 236); margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">As the time went, I've developed a deeper appreciation for niche perfumes. Their uniqueness and exclusivity appeal to me more than ever before. Don't get me wrong; I still love my Armani Si, but there's something captivating about fragrances that set themselves apart. Yet, I've found navigating the world of niche perfumes to be somewhat challenging. Often, they're either exorbitantly priced or overwhelmingly potent. Given my sensitivity to certain scents, I tend to tread cautiously. This is where <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/juliette-has-a-gun/">Juliette has a gun</a> excels. While its perfumes may be priced at a premium, they remain within the realm of accessibility. The fragrances, though distinctive, are remarkably wearable. It was amidst this allure that I gravitated towards their perfume named Mmmm.</span></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em 0px;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 236); white-space-collapse: preserve;">Available in two sizes—50ml and 100ml—the bottle exudes sheer elegance. Its simplicity is elevated by a captivating colour, making it really enjoyable to photograph. Moreover, the bottle is fairly heavy which gives it a sense of luxury. </span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi759EZ0sBkJyG54p5DBx4pBKuhMsU3vZOHZv4t9vW3K5HBeM9wcgj61QX6_IYEjA9mSWJvFUAn_NVkHadcaktU7e2hETpgcCfUFCf05kl9VZYzbwpg_9qdQtGpIM4JBo0RG4G8ZjRl4B64sNCd-zx98fUgjp2x-xij4-Rzo86Mzhg8zr_rfTdo8_RX5A4/s16000/IMG_4353.jpeg" title="Juliette has a gun mmmm review" /></div><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em 0px;"><a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/juliette-has-a-gun/mmmm-eau-de-parfum-for-women/" style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 236); font-family: georgia;">Mmmm</a><span style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 236); font-family: georgia;"> unfolds its olfactory journey with top notes of Neroli, leading to a heart comprised of Iris, Jasmin Sambac, Tuberose, Raspberry, and Orange Blossom. Finally, it settles into a base of Vanilla, White Musk, Patchouli, Heliotrope, Caramel, and Sandalwood. The resulting scent is a harmonious blend of fruity sweetness with a powdery undertone—a combination that typically doesn't resonate with me. However, in the case of Mmmm, it seamlessly coalesces into an enchanting aroma. The initial burst of juicy raspberry gradually gives way to a creamy vanilla essence, accented by a subtle hint of caramel.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_R_4xwzaJCRr4bJXIbFbxTvmHg_bs0ub1exh-JaW_o9yHTvPtnP3hd2gVZ863fOdFM7cyAB3YacKd2t1MsBuLPfnsNHrjYnuy7iS4Wy9OmLCa8AyokGs2axMCJvVBgO1jk0IlxFaAX6-cCU8wlq4SXsuRimpxO8Tjkkpv9a-QrscyZTM5VtTXwHWbCQ4/s16000/IMG_4338.jpeg" title="Juliette has a gun mmmm review" /></div><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 236); margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Despite encountering reviews suggesting otherwise, I must disagree with the notion that this perfume lacks longevity. I've found that I can smell the perfume on my skin even after a full day of wear, garnering compliments along the way. While it may not be the most overt scent, its presence is palpable enough for those in close proximity to notice—a victory in my book.</span></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(227, 227, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 236); margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In conclusion, I am pleased with my selection of perfume for the impending spring season. I anticipate further explorations with the unconventional offerings of Juliette has a gun, or as some affectionately refer to it, JHAG.</span></p>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06107113404722667633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-34505633070222231842024-01-31T11:13:00.000+00:002024-01-31T11:13:20.661+00:00I will not burn out!<p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>AD - Please note some products mentioned int this post were gifted to me by Notino.co.uk</i></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">I was just 16 when I first heard the term "burnout."

This should have been a warning sign that I needed to be careful about how I approached my day-to-day life. I'm not one for half measures—I consider myself a hard worker, and I always took pride in that.

If this continues for extended periods, we become drained, forgetting the essentials of life. I experienced this firsthand—I forgot to switch off, to acknowledge there are things beyond work, and most importantly, to take care of myself. Simple things like eating and staying hydrated slipped through the cracks. There were days when all I consumed were two cups of coffee, and I didn't even notice.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">As someone not inclined towards New Year's resolutions, the period before Christmas became my breaking point.

To rediscover who I am, or more precisely, to remind myself that I am not just my work, I need to return to some of my hobbies. Not being particularly adept at small talk, and having been engrossed in work for the past year, I haven't been the most engaging person to be around. Considering a return to dancing, despite my lack of proficiency, might provide a humbling experience. It could teach me that it's okay not to shine and simply engage in something for the pure joy it brings.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuyamb1qa7udwQ2A7nfir4zgaOat_QBtL8UtNUmPXiPI_1RARnaPt0L9SGj2RAMF4gAO9E9bg8MM6WtkDbTWhvDzdK-M4G1cZ4_AL_YAfhs5t0IHrl_D-Al6-tGap7ldnzDLXSZkMpzOXyLyyqjJZhGxrLEfLILUyvxwxBIm5oC3F9MQ3D55fPtkifpLk/s16000/IMG_2699.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Lucky for you, no photo of me dancing.

Drinking more water is essential. Realizing how dehydrated I am after experiencing what feels like altitude sickness from my European water intake (read as two cups of coffee) is a wake-up call. Since I've always struggled with fluid intake, I've taken a cue from basic girl habits—purchased a new Instagrammable <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/sports-equipment/shakers-and-water-bottles/">water bottle</a> from Sigg and placed a reminder sticker in my diary. Hoping for at least one liter, if not a full two liters, of water intake daily. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiimvS1hOoJvCMLIA0n1zWltdNSTcgAsCobAaCzveyIToqwmDwYB7LaGBHyNbBMLOOhLOtoaj-m4uvQYEZ_3-iOHBfMfVleQ6MX_FcnDCuD5J4smPp6EEAw2Imw1zNPe0qe7Pzr1lKDhY0_5Hgd0fPzaf924-u-C9EVtWN4JbOS3tQFucWieJq-PGkR_Zs/s16000/IMG_2381.jpeg" /></div><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><strong style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box;">3) Train My Mind to Let Go:</strong>
This is trickier and will require more effort. I want my mind to respond to certain sensory stimuli by relaxing. Being highly responsive to scents, I've chosen the Peace of Mind collection from <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/origins/">Origins</a> for this task. Specifically, the On-the-spot Relief, a gel-like substance applied to wrists, temples, and the back of the neck, produces a cooling effect that helps relax the mind. It may be a placebo, but that's precisely what I need to train my mind. Additionally, the Nourishing hand cream from the same collection, with its divine scent, leaves my hands soft.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_G_v7l2o7q6JvPAcXy8_OjqLGGILe7wozK8fgxb4pUyGyBPXUAuNkNYMhAQSFIGGjw8hiMuYTxNJzULs0V7FYwJD3EwKGexuP8HKq5KM-oA4XgvzB7pIL3nv7A-czL3nAmaoJ-6gKYy-JQ0LbZrs2fUJymxDnVHdXd8NjKSNUtzbKJ7hwhQ-2_59VmA8/s320/IMG_2562.jpeg" width="240" /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSIZKkmH87pc9KFrLpG3XVX-5aMaBrlvGIJy_p328Gp5E2WH38fMFJYXwKo7LIJuLP_niu3fsGIEPNqKhoPoobiPglg55OKdkOEOSgyE2Os_NkNEys1boGZEYBQx2j0tC3wtxq2Jb6oNN-Me5YaUSaU2WAbhDpgNvxbw6yzhBG9yqeh5HO2ZzC8RDoRwg/s1600/IMG_2572.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSIZKkmH87pc9KFrLpG3XVX-5aMaBrlvGIJy_p328Gp5E2WH38fMFJYXwKo7LIJuLP_niu3fsGIEPNqKhoPoobiPglg55OKdkOEOSgyE2Os_NkNEys1boGZEYBQx2j0tC3wtxq2Jb6oNN-Me5YaUSaU2WAbhDpgNvxbw6yzhBG9yqeh5HO2ZzC8RDoRwg/s320/IMG_2572.jpeg" width="240" /></a><br /><br /></div><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In summary, I have plenty to focus on this year, and I am cautiously optimistic about what lies ahead in 2024.</p>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06107113404722667633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-65522442107168972082024-01-29T08:48:00.001+00:002024-01-29T08:48:54.545+00:00Glass lips with Hourglass<p><span style="caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The glossy trend has firmly established itself this season. Whether you identify as a clean girl, a strawberry girl, or the spouse of a mob boss, lip gloss has likely become a staple in your makeup routine. It amuses me to reflect on how just a couple of years ago, I only had one gloss in my collection that I never reached for, and lip liner was the last thing on my makeup investment list. Fast forward to 2023 and now 2024, and gloss and lip liner are absolute must-haves for me.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8kEzmBvKIS54Y4SbiwsBHG3Eu8AQJzuHjTrXMYR73LT1hFHarrMaoTWeAVzp9ti8mKTufnrFsJje5a9fCD7pUFw6Aqiuurjy5sC_pAqfOdfXoq2BDTPJq8YBzPGmErQ8-lfY9FGlNkI26YVXE3Nvk4GfTPpKzuUdaHdcHLQnYVl4xOIcS2b4QHETEUjE/s1600/IMG_2547.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hourglass Glossy Balm" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8kEzmBvKIS54Y4SbiwsBHG3Eu8AQJzuHjTrXMYR73LT1hFHarrMaoTWeAVzp9ti8mKTufnrFsJje5a9fCD7pUFw6Aqiuurjy5sC_pAqfOdfXoq2BDTPJq8YBzPGmErQ8-lfY9FGlNkI26YVXE3Nvk4GfTPpKzuUdaHdcHLQnYVl4xOIcS2b4QHETEUjE/s16000/IMG_2547.jpeg" title="Hourglass Glossy Balm" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In recent months, a completely new lip product has taken the market by storm, aligning perfectly with the glossy trend – glossy plumping balms. Blending the pigment of a <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/lipstick/">lipstick</a>, nourishment from a lip balm, and the glassy effect of lip gloss, this innovative product has captured the beauty community's attention. I must confess, I succumbed to this trend as well, and today, I'm reviewing one of the most luxurious options out there – the Volumizing Glossy Balm from Hourglass.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFQ-zXc2rADKwC6QqeTVMEMPjcQhMSKWtss5fKw11sAdiTflL2Grqxves3XBGAJjEwzTWkteTRRKeNJDPxO5MXZ3CzbN2RKLcZjf37wb724Gsjnkg2l9XHsGV8xVst6POlBmL0Jf8ZMmGbywdcA8H_8si83J1jtkpdVFmuPOykLHGxmFtyapmo1nVc_I/s1600/IMG_2558.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><img alt="Hourglass Glossy Balm" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvFQ-zXc2rADKwC6QqeTVMEMPjcQhMSKWtss5fKw11sAdiTflL2Grqxves3XBGAJjEwzTWkteTRRKeNJDPxO5MXZ3CzbN2RKLcZjf37wb724Gsjnkg2l9XHsGV8xVst6POlBmL0Jf8ZMmGbywdcA8H_8si83J1jtkpdVFmuPOykLHGxmFtyapmo1nVc_I/s16000/IMG_2558.jpeg" title="Hourglass Glossy Balm" /></a></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Available in eight shades, I opted for the shade Trace (105). The balm is housed in a golden pen with a twist base that dispenses a small, controlled amount of product. The entire packaging exudes a substantial weight, contributing to its overall expensive feel.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig_R9MWRwOv-BB20GQ-XH7zTo6LtcOEAr1kLR2X37NF8HdKEIL196bV5SIa7erTrdL807alGlPuqqa-6eRfR42tPADnNe42v07fBebsAqEcdtY5L9kGuVSeleD81R0CTis5rpOyFNoVMyX9MYJYmqgefSrHhy9str2BDbYvb2Gd5I1rNMlLYX8lQ4dfdg/s1600/IMG_2556.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig_R9MWRwOv-BB20GQ-XH7zTo6LtcOEAr1kLR2X37NF8HdKEIL196bV5SIa7erTrdL807alGlPuqqa-6eRfR42tPADnNe42v07fBebsAqEcdtY5L9kGuVSeleD81R0CTis5rpOyFNoVMyX9MYJYmqgefSrHhy9str2BDbYvb2Gd5I1rNMlLYX8lQ4dfdg/s16000/IMG_2556.jpeg" title="Hourglass Glossy Balm" /></a></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Upon application, the balm instantly plumps the lips, accompanied by a pleasant tingly sensation signifying its effectiveness. What sets this product apart is that the plumping effect is visible without causing any discomfort – a relief compared to some lip glosses that enhance lip size but come with a painful trade-off.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPE3wyGeCMZZubbWvZjC9-Vqe9sGEoHDFFXjtfgEmVOELroLeSJy-eEXF0QBKresF23lw0rQA2Ebyg9aub5YTjZ8oU3XmgJVBkEMv7tubJJMVL97kLKSzegaO1zJ-gaYQjsmvGaKgAowrVApPiE_v9QRy8vcZcD45AmXkHGDd6X4ZLX-M0UQBhmkWlUI/s1600/IMG_2553.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center; white-space: normal;"><img alt="Hourglass Glossy Balm" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPE3wyGeCMZZubbWvZjC9-Vqe9sGEoHDFFXjtfgEmVOELroLeSJy-eEXF0QBKresF23lw0rQA2Ebyg9aub5YTjZ8oU3XmgJVBkEMv7tubJJMVL97kLKSzegaO1zJ-gaYQjsmvGaKgAowrVApPiE_v9QRy8vcZcD45AmXkHGDd6X4ZLX-M0UQBhmkWlUI/s16000/IMG_2553.jpeg" title="Hourglass Glossy Balm" /></a></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The glossy finish is truly stunning, creating a glass-like effect that surprisingly lasts a long time. So far, it stands as the longest-lasting lip balm of this type in my experience. While it may not survive numerous drinks and meals, if left untouched, I usually find myself topping up after a couple of hours – an impressive feat in the world of lip glosses.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/01H58hzALc0" width="320" youtube-src-id="01H58hzALc0"></iframe></div><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overall, I genuinely love this balm despite its higher price tag. My only wish is for a broader shade range, as none of the current options resonate with me the way, for example, Nars's Sweet Disposition does. Given the popularity of this balm, I can envision <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/hourglass/">Hourglass</a> expanding the shade range in the near future.</p>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06107113404722667633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-13463436254877863002023-12-30T00:52:00.006+00:002023-12-30T00:52:39.164+00:00 Caring for my Parched Lips in Winter<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>* AD - Please note products mentioned in this post were gifted to me for a review</i></span></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">When the temperature takes a nosedive below five degrees Celsius, my lips decide it's the perfect time to go on strike and turn into a dry, flaky mess. Typically, I'd reach for the chapstick after my lips have already started resembling a shedding snake (a tad too late, I know). But with the current lip care craze, featuring everything from luscious glosses to hydrating lip oils, I've become a self-proclaimed lip care aficionado.

That was until I found myself in Denver, a mile above sea level, where the air was drier than a desert. Despite chugging about four liters of water, my skin, especially my hands and lips, felt like a barren wasteland. That's when I had an epiphany and embraced the power of good lip products, including the game-changer – overnight masks to save my extremely <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/chapped-and-dry-lips/">dry lips</a>. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQV99gigx_EGJaTDB1IlQpdbkyCKvvv4jeCstnu5sgtYsm0KI9A7vPrpxFuUO2DDhestpyWzQWh1az68VR-szg6MUvvcVXQ80ANitKGJwjyKJ06iQ50ixxU-RQqsqPNgGRvpp3XoxM9TlaNHst00mqzbLHOsOIBkkFYMOgmxMD2vN_OA50xvQgIkklDnk/s16000/IMG_0526.jpeg" title="Kiehl's Lip Mask" /></div><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My current crush is the Buttermilk for Lips with Coconut Oil and Wild Mango Butter from Kiehl's. Packed in a small plastic pot holding 10g of sheer magic, this mask boasts a thick formula that transforms into a melty goodness once applied. While the name hints at a tropical paradise, the scent is more cocoa than coconut, thanks to the cocoa seed butter tucked inside, along with shea butter, beeswax, and other nourishing goodies.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2OM448yq6VWqLHQNAYdtH6mIPbFEOIDEvRVfLQUe97AsFIB-rHjCWB15mYZN-D28gy8MdTXerE1aZoQjuhxH8FG84L3LHWynCHwfv2EqBjAJViPSPlDuQ2o6edHeZoH0tVrTk4tu1FPZuNbItHW3TsGuO8F9FwEozoNq1xmVmCTcbjwSLvrenJoda3a8/s16000/IMG_0528.jpeg" title="Kiehl's Lip Mask" /></div><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This mask does wonders, leaving my lips irresistibly soft. It's not a quick fix for severe lip damage, but it works like a superhero to speed up the healing process. Now, I'll be honest, this mask is a bit of a splurge. Is it worth it? If you're contemplating, my vote is yes. But is it an absolute necessity, considering the price? Probably not.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1030" data-original-width="1373" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMnliqPlyrC85HLnEcPbjmtQ0swf2RFe6qn2bnuG6Q6gTu_PFsjMjL4KimZUx37_iBmluus-ZSIxI_Uqa-4slnrJy_WNQevkR5idtyI3Cd7iRNhNCFoofMtU6gYE1eNyOAiP0u4agKQPvgLRpAKturV1b-U8o78LwplprrJ0TobfUKuDnB8-Vot-wOqE4/s16000/IMG_0504.jpeg" title="Kiehl's Lip Mask" /></div><br /><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><strong style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box;">Weleda Skin Food Lip Balm Love Affair</strong></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Coming from someone who has gone through approximately a gazillion chapsticks, it's surprising that my current lip balm crush comes in a squeeze tube. <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/weleda/">Weleda</a>, a brand I recently stumbled upon, has been a delightful surprise this year. Mrs. Hailey Bieber's radiant glow with the Skin Food cream as a base got me curious, and now, I'm hooked.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkgBbl-HKtI-PZBoiyaskBz6XJMXvV1O2QqDGXXYRhuHMR8omXpAwKgY_ng432JOdnx7MA9WQdara40HFT7PXapufoLfKatdazMSVVQ4fTcvCulBReaySc1N4S-f_ICo-uW8tKqM2WNtPN6Sq5cA3mMl_OpUbQ5bJnISZ6LvpZ8_4n0bAGApLJb97qGIM/s16000/IMG_0529.jpeg" title="Weleda Skin Food" /></div><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The lip balm, housed in a convenient squeeze tube, is a nourishing dream. Unlike many balms, it stays put and doesn't wander off to explore the rest of my face unintentionally. Bonus points: it gives my lips a juicy, natural-looking gloss. I find myself reapplying every three hours just to keep those lips soft and supple throughout the day. It even works wonders on top of lipstick, adding a glossy finish.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIgU97qUngcJEzQx93cUUD3oNsYzGe2z0qNA7OLSxIDxpKBdTHnASaBo5fqVYSp_DwC8SQrewRF3nE-NSe6-rlYtIyQFoZS7owr0Wb3HtJOZKOZ_U3WrTm6I7-0m6f_2VEmP43de0lksA_an_UInKDJcVIbHDDf25bHKudZldJe_XPhQ8y-hQc948K8qk/s16000/IMG_0520.jpeg" title="Weleda Skin Food" /></div><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Discovering this lip balm is the cherry on top of my 2023.

Can you believe it's almost time to bid adieu to 2023 and say hello to 2024? Time sure knows how to sneak up on us! But before we get lost in the New Year's countdown, let me drop a quick tip for all you last-minute Christmas shoppers, especially those of you still on the prowl for some <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/gifts-for-mothers/">gifts for your mum</a>, granny, or your almost-30-year-old girlfriend/wife (because age is just a number, right?).</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMLrszeaxRKfAdRzHZkKIWIwPR49aiHKKDdKPuEPDFnqanUn2M5VRAzJaSwCnIHfTJH5-MgkBvvMOiWt8HJroTP-SB_Ih3F37m_jREqd6q3X4lpTqsQdC75c-9Acs6Yig1i7yq6OWtAyELy_TkeoTiy-1CUNsLwib6GG8bvb9VJkmu-di4Sy-zzvlL2VE/s16000/IMG_0540.jpeg" title="Estée Lauder Gifts Set" /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, if you're in the market for a top-notch beauty brand, let me point you in the fabulous direction of <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/estee-lauder/">Estee Lauder</a>. Trust me, any of their gift sets is like taking a step towards beauty bliss. This year, the one stealing the spotlight for me is the All Day Hydration set. Picture this: four travel-sized treasures, including the iconic Advanced Night Repair serum, lovingly referred to as 'liquid Botox' (I mean, it sounds quirky, but you get the vibe, right?).</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp43OeOftgIgTrSJLztDCN5ku-pKCmY__2t6m686ovrFFcdtcxwC2Q9EwWmw1UFxSkNdydFvRc7sTJt5XfdpYsRFRTT7sCqnnAL99x38B593LTvcg6u-HrBTDtCeI0doILHGVjKa5us9gd8om9jy0pITnfn9rhFMVEDBTiwjR77TVuylbMVqy2qQluYsA/s16000/IMG_0546.jpeg" title="Estée Lauder Gifts Set" /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I've dabbled in Estee Lauder's skincare, including the Advanced Night Repair serum, back in my early twenties. It was a positive experience, but let's be real, anti-aging wasn't exactly my top priority back then. Fast forward to my very late twenties, where the first wrinkles are making their grand entrance on my forehead – and enter the Advanced Night Repair collection! Cue the excitement as I embark on this skincare journey.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6SbNaqkvrkvQmAvPB_Cy_fCAGxso-6EtnLtXgQCtF5QnUp000sa-ZanQSmz7tTk3ueXgkjn4gdAlPCsUos-5JPaetYxG2y7aTNeE9tbhr3Lml6cOZl9fh4nDEZ2An-rr3wOZmwqMkfzN-vtxTvF9w-PPIZ8ZYHGxRBRB_D12341yLa9m6SSIR43_F-e4/s16000/IMG_0548.jpeg" title="Estée Lauder Gifts Set" /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Inside this treasure trove, you'll find a 15ml pot of DayWear cream, a 15ml pot of NightWear Plus cream, a 7ml bottle of the magical Advanced Night Repair serum, and a 5ml Advanced Night Repair eye gel. The creams are so concentrated that even my Sahara-like dry skin doesn't demand an ocean of product – meaning this little set is set to last, despite its petite size. Moreover, the creams are water-based (or gel-like if you will) which is a plus for me as I am not a huge fan of heavy and oily creams. </p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0u25hFd5dTlfBSwG-hdc_SfbetgWidxDH9uFHUwe80C8Li04V3XYhD01OTDV8ZOCJ1eyEEE9fF1AaW_myenVFzUuSqMPMTLXX1uLQ37su5RTPyDGzwaGR0q72gJee6mgiXmV8RuCmKvi0zYRe_Y-9flRemR10DPVtimQbExJLqHIiAil-jVSh7VXjrpU/s16000/IMG_0556.jpeg" title="Estée Lauder Gifts Set" /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"></span></span><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;"></span></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Perfect for jet setters (because who doesn't love travel-sized goodies?), this set is also a fantastic introduction to Estée Lauder's skincare world without causing a dent in your bank account.

Close your eyes and imagine stepping into a cottage on a chilly evening, the fireplace ablaze, enveloping you in a warm, comforting cocoon. That's exactly what this fragrance delivers. As time goes on, it transforms into a woody oriental symphony with the most subtle hint of orange blossom.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 241); white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 241); white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>Top Notes: Clove oil, Pink Pepper and Orange Flower Petals</i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 241); white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>Middle Notes: Chestnut Accord, Gaiic Wood Oil</i></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 241); white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><i>Base Notes: Vanilla Accord, Cashmeran</i></span></span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 241); white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 241); white-space: pre-wrap;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCBKO1eDsdLOdALOG20xEUDJyTQGzM2kj4vbmE3bin1nyLhnV-bUP1ulTKslf3_Zx63nCcNkqp5VtNacC02soYqOCLGnMAGmLg1oOj_1blftQX5xmYpz-Lj_xxsoX5Wo7wwpAjD4gy0dAbD5VXTb4dHIlqJccTHonp1LIgI1si99YP4t0PCimJZEAcCMg/s16000/IMG_2465.jpeg" title="Maison Margiela Gift Set" /></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 241); white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(236, 236, 241); white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Unlike its beachy counterpart, "By the Fireplace" is all about the colder seasons. It's a heavyweight fragrance, exuding warmth in every note. And that's precisely why this set has stolen my heart. Not only does it offer incredible value, but it also gives me two distinct scents – one for the sun-soaked days and the other for cozying up by the fire. It's a year-round olfactory adventure that has me covered from season to season. Cheers to <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/maison-margiela/">Maison Margiela</a> fragrances and the magic they bring! </span></span></div>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06107113404722667633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-52523566235137556462023-11-23T08:56:00.000+00:002023-11-23T08:56:38.483+00:00Estée Lauder: Futurist SkinTint Serum - Review<p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">Estee Lauder's foundations have never let me down. I've experimented with several of them, tailoring my choice to the latest makeup trends, and they consistently land in my top 3, if not snagging the coveted title of my all-time favorite.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR9ARDFOlLNL7h4QOxdI2ICyZWC86fW_zh3HmIhmBipCMgefs1-udOODL_pCGtd52ZTXN9X4Ai08vUTDMsIWP-zHmtkRSnjHS06XRkV67p7EQfv1vhSmfjU-yNjNGn6tIzjOGgzJDkEp8y9SI4fWJ8Rx83T9QNJusIo66g7YqWOSx5Ky1XSVPPHas3uZ5L/s16000/IMG_2434.jpeg" title="Black Friday Estée Lauder" /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">With tinted serums gaining popularity, it was no surprise when <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/estee-lauder/">Estée Lauder</a> hopped on the trend wagon. The moment I laid eyes on the new Futurist SkinTint Serum Foundation, I knew my next review had to shine a spotlight on this beauty.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This tinted serum arrives in a sleek glass bottle, generously housing 30ml of the magic potion. The added touch of a glass pipette applicator oozes sophistication, and with a whopping 29 shades to choose from, it's a guarantee that everyone will find their perfect match.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdFEmIz7bNxVEOBJPGSjc4sXJoT3Ohwm-Ea7AAbJD2caqCrOvm4yuvyMork2NhX1l48n-N6AGPnK9i1TRHItQ_qweE5ce6-_vwOC4NN72U7PMCfo-7Sjz_xhHeKDWbnr84epUFUrgonUkRLMTSXHoa-M3yVasehFFByJlqzr6VIqcYBzobb53YvUmIkZ6Z/s16000/IMG_2439.jpeg" title="Black Friday Estée Lauder" /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Initially, I thought this might be just another foundation masquerading as a skin tint, but my skepticism was swiftly proven wrong. The finish didn't scream natural initially, thanks to its impressive pigmentation. A few drops are all you need to cover your entire face — though I may have used a tad more initially, assuming the runny texture would demand it. My bad.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnFDs-qOK8uoNDXXLWe7MewXfL_LwIAhqUf4fcRs5WL8cQv3_VXz6luz45wNQrXm6BRp1m-rEeQAIHx-caA1YzshN0eTNAebOlsnTP2KHiB17RHYTnFtfGlzuFSKJWFkvUYfJfaBxG7aWfxWNQnE0qlHJ6W1lgQY4h3Un_RvrjaFqgostRbG-eBndf63tQ/s16000/IMG_2436.jpeg" title="Black Friday Estée Lauder" /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Turns out, the serum is delightfully buildable. Apply a small amount, and voila! You've got a fresh, healthy-looking canvas that gives the illusion of makeup-free perfection. Feeling a bit more glam? Amp up the application, and suddenly, it's like you've donned a medium-coverage foundation. I use either brush or my fingers to apply this serum, I feel like the sponge absorbs and wastes too much of the product. </p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7RV7XqGe78iPXTi2x8MLVdvo0Cjaa6l01XQaSd4-3l3yNYcbv29Fw3OgETUWLVVFi17hJfMXansTcd1IHMtfuMk5vVtH-o2tsh8qwoykCRI1bM40l7nRUGGS5GYlOn5V8_yesC0zpwApq8DoHlOKeV87qeCFaeV6V5DF1CvcgguBoW9sMcGzeJEUUfAP0/s16000/IMG_2514.jpeg" title="Black Friday Estée Lauder" /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Unlike its infamous sibling, the Double Wear foundation, this serum doesn't dry out my skin. It's like a breath of fresh air for your face — light, breathable, and quick to absorb. The best part? It sticks around for the whole day. After a solid 8-9 hours, a touch-up might be in order, just to keep things flawless.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In summary, this serum gets a big thumbs up from me, just as I expected from Estée Lauder, one of my go-to high-end makeup brands. Yes, it might be a tad pricier, but with <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/black-friday/">Black Friday</a> just around the corner, I'm keeping my eyes peeled for some irresistible deals to snag this serum at a steal.</p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06107113404722667633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-49996843549305545982023-10-31T17:45:00.000+00:002023-10-31T17:45:26.091+00:00Monochrome Magic: Rediscovering the Joy of Mono Eyeshadows!<p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>AD - Products mentioned in this post were gifted to me. </i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Mono eyeshadows, the OG makeup saviors of our teenage years!

But surprisingly they're making a comeback! The Moondust in 'Space Cowboy' took over social media like a glittery storm. Surprisingly, these celestial eyeshadows have been around since 2013, yet the hype only recently caught fire. Personally, it didn't register on my radar until I received it in a PR package, and now?

At 1.5g, it may not sound like much, but let's face it, when was the last time we hit pan on a behemoth eyeshadow palette? Once it's on, it's on. This glitter holds its ground until an oil-based makeup remover steps in.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dji78wAJ-6M" width="320" youtube-src-id="dji78wAJ-6M"></iframe></div><br /><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">With its nude, rose gold undertones, it's like this sparkle was born to grace my skin.

Its golden sibling, 'Legendary Gold', is a showstopper for the Christmas season, thanks to its unrivaled sparkle.

Despite my self-proclaimed status as a fragrance enthusiast, there's still a world of scents I've yet to uncover. Jean Paul Gaultier's perfumes have been on the scene for ages, but I must confess, I've never taken a whiff—until now!</p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx0V6W30hSQvtWlXG6aogsipx7Ut_wl6BUIIfWMn6QalG0R3MPneRLUSJ18FtRbtGoWszIRPCVh83nIQe0Sey8N3fRsKTX6ZMIeUhlynnjqBO7TmxKdp1V0OaZIHi-VVLLB7hlNJl-cCZhLenHia0UdTEDqGlEiUYaNVzBAfEfwO7l5rHZsSBfdt44BpWv/s16000/IMG_1682.jpeg" title="Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Review" /></div><br /><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the reasons I hesitated with JPG's perfumes might just be the bottles. They're inspired by the human form, both masculine and feminine, and let's be honest, they lean a tad towards the flashy side. However, fate intervened, and I got my hands on <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/jean-paul-gaultier/jean-paul-gaultier-la-belle-eau-de-parfum-for-women-100-ml/">Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle</a>—the poster child of this fragrance house.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga6JZgwbh306olBe1qnExDqaan3tpmrJBtYRaNS2SFKXQqGsIyfLQ3Q7YbMo-cQJyca0g930owX6I5DqjW2lEPinKef1_Xu9K0XmhS0Ux96ofo4cMRhsXjs34qPqExxYFdckjUIO0sn0fxsDppJtBW0mtgjYH2xKhc3eKQK6alWKJVk0pu2KNY7hyRh-NM/s16000/IMG_1677.jpeg" title="Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Review" /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Let's talk packaging, shall we? The box is a metallic can and the glass bottle perches on its own pedestal, evoking visions of plush red cushions beneath a royal crown. It's bold, it's bombastic, and dare I say, a bit cheeky. Still, against all odds, I don't entirely despise the bottle. Sure, it's a glass rendition of a woman's figure, but it's a practical size, easy to stow away, and fits snugly in a handbag. They come in three sizes—30mL, 50mL, and 100mL. Me? I went with the petite 30mL.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLweMfCTz-SDf-jIIy9oxZGbbCRy13i7tRsX6TTfZK71fcEthPxcao19qzaRDHztXBcBkQ6BcEbfhmsF_8BLE3XN3tTi37UzQxpCHEDNWrcDoS3PXU6JPIbCgZRUrCiGKCWnPEOrUYsidfZoeCWF3e-7pFt1k1dFoa_QaPrWLzdfsGlFkrulHhJ7E7eCyN/s16000/IMG_1673.jpeg" title="Jean Paul Gaultier La Belle Review" /></p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(209, 213, 219); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, the scent itself? It's like autumn in a bottle—rich and robust without inducing a single headache.

(for us in Scotland it seems like it never really left this year). Autumn usually means Pumpkin spice lates and candles in my world. What can I say, I am little bit basic. This year I have decided to embrace my shallow personality obsessing with Pumpkin Spice Lattes and treated myself with a candle from <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/bath-body-works/">Bath and Body Works</a> that smells like my favourite Pumpkin Spice Lattes. The candle is called Hi Pumpkin and I start to believe this is my favourite candle of all times beating even the Eggnog candle I got a few years back. </p><p>I got the three wick candle that weights 411g. From my experience, the large BBW candles usually burn over 40 hours. They tend to be on the heavier side so there is no need to burn for long. In smaller rooms, it is enough to even keep the candle out unlit without the lid and it will spread the scent across the room. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe_Zq9Lka82-_gfvMJuiuA9WVLtjiS9ogVtJx8sI5-YGyOmq3U1IfRPvDMJj_-kdcEHi4hDrs9AGffprsHo7vFTw7TWdcCruM2v-oIu3mwG63O8gK8_B5PloPgGQuTUncymkrFhpfLd4ehdyUp6PXCG4F4Y-xrP4Kv_Aawh21BqcQQzCnQ8Lda7dCs4B9B/s16000/IMG_1111.jpeg" title="Bath And Body Works Notino UK" /></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>The Hi Pumpkin candle smell exactly like PSL but creamier. White chocolate is not one of the notes mentioned by the merchant but I can definitely smell it. What I like the most is that it does not smell like burnt peppercorn like most of the PSL candles out there - that usually give me a headache but this is luckily not the case for Bath and Body Works. The other notes noted are <i>coffee, whipped cream, cinnamon and spiced pumpkin</i>. Heavenly combination. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZOZKF3ahZuJlFXX7DCA_vHsyERlG2azIXpqOTqg-2iovMmdcNwHXkzg-ousxIw9vJoFvRONJzOZIwIuKLaqWZ7YhTVcQwtGCbGjHoHjIVH4PW_zxlhyu2lk4FNELiu17sZCwO1fw3e0_u_G2GQjlWAYEjDbT0H8s2915g6bY7plvyIhlFF5p6LMOJYnNW/s16000/IMG_1115.jpeg" title="Bath And Body Works Notino UK" /></div><p><br /></p><p>I went to New York earlier this year for a business trip and as much as I loved it, I was marginally disappointed that the Bath and Body Works shop sold mainly the summery and spring scents as we were just getting into the warmer seasons. Don't get me wrong, I still bought the way too many things which makes me think it is not such a bad thing the winter and autumn season wasn't on yet because I would probably be stopped at the airport questioned why am I taking 32kg worth of candles out of the country. Nevertheless, the Bath and Body Work's candles are superior. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7uFNzeJyGc7VwfOcoqfK-AI7PLPp_suioupnHKxUIl_Wero9fpnAnoQaCGBdNC-NbeySSp6kf_HM6Eqoc-EbBQmWRd-N-MCPqcgEsN2D9Bt8Ay_pW49jiBk3oOxeUx01fs5S6jO-7XlXZTOuBjbxGSOk7R5B5_XQ5e3Ay3HH3mVt11hdQ6Dv9dWRbCtj7/s16000/IMG_0780.jpeg" title="Bath And Body Works Notino UK" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>If you are not too keen on the festive vibes of candles and would prefer something more fresh reminding you of a summer, I would definitely recommend the <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/bath-body-works/mango-mai-tai-scented-candle/">Mango Mai Tai</a> (<a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/bath-body-works/mango-mai-tai-scented-candle/">https://www.notino.co.uk/bath-body-works/mango-mai-tai-scented-candle/</a> ) which is one of the candles I got on my trip. It's one of the most popular ones from this brand as it comes back every year. It's sweet and tropical and I will burn the rest of it when I am suffering through my upcoming January blues to remind myself of the lovely summer I had this year. Champagne Toast from their White Barn collection is also very nice, significantly lighter compared to both Hi Pumpkin and Mango Mai Tai. It smells like berries with a touch of sparkling wine. </p><p>Bath and Body Works does not have any stores in the UK so I get my BBW candles from notino.co.uk which is one of the few shops that sells their candles and room sprays (if I am not traveling). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06107113404722667633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-76873688344120255072023-09-26T11:03:00.000+01:002023-09-26T18:44:40.355+01:00New Arrivals: L'oreal and Maybelline<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: italic; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">* AD - Products mentioned in this post were gifted to me by notino.co.uk</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before we start, I have exciting news.

The shade selection could be better but I suppose tints can get away with limited shade range.

It doesn’t get absorbed by the skin, it sits on top the same way any foundation would. The coverage is medium to full which again, isn’t very common for skin tints that usually offer very sheer coverage. The tint creates a radiant flawless effect on the skin. It lasts a whole day without any issue, the longevity reminds me of high-end foundations. </span></p><p><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: medium; display: inline-block; height: 803px; overflow: hidden; width: 602px;"><img height="803" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/2y6NLvjcezKput82jAwpTDnfyrPExoYSDKEaFhnp6tcitZ9xvfnhD6_Ub76ZjkzR0AO0AxYoR51nar-WzZxQB6RPpBZQHy0-zqlXBWdV9zvJb-NNQCWkC0jJ-UNNWJszOl-lfc6WgzdrkV8Yjly-KoI" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" title="Notino Makeup Review" width="602" /></span></span></p><p><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I don’t think this is a skin tint and If you are looking for something sheer and natural, you will be disappointed. On the other hand, if you are on a hunt for a decent foundation, do not get discouraged by the name of this product. This is one of the best drugstore foundations I have tried. The coverage is very good, it will survive the whole day and it does not feel heavy. Just take a look at how it looks on my skin and see for yourself. </span></p><p><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Maybelline The Falsies Surreal Mascara</span></p><p><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Maybelline can do mascaras.

The mascara is not bad but it’s not as good either. It comes in 10ml tube with a bristle wand.I find the bristles too sharp for my sensitive eyes and the effect is just not ‘wow’.

It’s quite surprising, that L’oreal decided to invest into liquid lipsticks in the middle of the cream lipstick and lip gloss renaissance. The lipstick comes in 12 shades. I picked two - 230 Shopping Spree and 500 Wine not. I would usually get something more nude and natural but most shades were sold out. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: medium; display: inline-block; height: 803px; overflow: hidden; width: 602px;"><img height="803" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/PUqim_0gDQcT4WEOuh_nF6xyWilW3w3NIkcablCafmLYfp5Fwyx5S-zKeeq6FR4Cu2J5JL8Xz3g8NDSryMC25EIaZxz_pxy8Da9pjtQtJRT06CHPsFEo20f6tkpixTkxveM9psq-586P1JzkJNKdU7A" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" title="Notino Makeup Review" width="602" /></span></span></p><p><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Shopping Spree is toned down brick red with a touch of pink. I think it looks more nude as a swatch but my skin tone makes the colour look very red, I quite like it though. The Wine Not shade is gorgeous.

They stay on surviving food, drinks and kissing as expected. Unfortunately, the coat does dry my lips out and I don’t know where the hydrating feature promised by L’oreal came from but it was not delivered. It seems the lipstick goes into the wrinkles and fine lines a little.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin: 0pt 11pt; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 8.5pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: medium; display: inline-block; height: 451px; overflow: hidden; width: 602px;"><img height="451" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ug4Kon_rIpV41Q0OYJSZ6R3yjtHMWrzA88w7XeYXXq2-KEGeUl5eWtJjyXlp8Sm4L9o0DCIqgEF_2KggoB4joicji0aEapFMUjvVCdZ3U7ueTF36MnCKuEl_bEnuYph4-wW4Ivra508DLCJG_IGrJA4" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" title="Notino Makeup Review" width="602" /></span></span></p><p><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I am torn. I do think these are good liquid lipsticks but as with every liquid lipstick, there are trade offs we need to account for in order to get the longevity and at the moment, I prefer creamy lipsticks despite them not lasting as long as liquid lipsticks. If these came out three years ago, I would absolutely own every single shade. </span></p><p><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /></p>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06107113404722667633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-27820551849801431692023-08-29T08:03:00.000+01:002023-08-29T08:03:46.116+01:00Haircare: My return to Kerastase<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>* AD - Please note the products mentioned in this post were gifted to me for a review</i></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 3px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">I do not switch my hair care too often.

Two spray bottles later I made the mistake of going to a different heat protectant and I am stuck with it for about a year now because I know if I buy the Kerastase one again, the current one will go to waste as I will never use it again. So I have made a pact with myself to finish the current one and then return to Kerastase. I am yet to see the day of this bottomless spray finally approaches its final line.

The conditioner is fairly concentrated but feels light on the hair. I use about two hazelnuts worth of product for my long hair so I will probably run through the bottle quicker than six months but I still expect to get at least 3 months out of the bottle. The smell is really nice, a little fruity but not chemical.

After about 5 uses, my hair started to feel very silky to the touch and I am loving it. The conditioner does not leave my hair greasy and heavy. I think this conditioner is great for hair that is not too damaged. My hair is thin but otherwise healthy and I think it works well. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9fu3z1Q5Lycf3HA2vLMpFW6Qfjl6r7kQRjM0JHIQC0W5kJo5zko_UfUZjwiPOK98HmHSu2GymNnMzJo-Sq6F7Uv7qiTt26b-vP10n1brTVfxEe4gEH51Ws6Vr7xbZCXgkCHOOU3PwPtLhmGzPW75j_HVhRLuEL1CST4719WbxAdnJNIbNlsjoIRpyc90/s16000/IMG_9887.jpeg" title="Notino Kerastase Review" /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: start; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">I believe I switched my haircare routine at the right moment.

The same as last year, tinted moisturisers are the way to go. There have been many new releases since last summer and I would like to share my thoughts on a couple of them (disclaimer: I am unsure if the products in question were actually released in 2023 haha, but they are certainly new to my beauty world).</span><div><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></span><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-6aUe-TUHepJHpvEkQ5PwJ1aYPlRFdJvh4e_Vs4yMHoqzf4OzEXSNLG0ZFxbh-CfBOX5ORVNvybXjQoqYU9h8PZ_lJ7EeAbq18OMaZqrDd76Ir4_8cL0QXpayxWjxSDWD1ev7eCZmywmy1tLSvodOU_xh5FjjDdbnDQ7hNqE86d66EyzVYBLJM8CeDnM/s16000/IMG_9864.jpeg" title="Notino La Roche Posay Anthelios Tinted" /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><u><b>La Roche Posay: Anthelios UVMUNE 400 tinted fluid</b></u></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">A while ago I reviewed the Anthelios UVMUNE 400 invisible fluid with SPF50 from <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/la-roche-posay">La Roche Posay</a> and I really enjoyed testing it. True, I have found some cheaper dupes since then but that does not change my opinion on this magical SPF. I have also reviewed the Anthelios Mineral One, also from LRP and it still remains one of my favourite makeup/skin products for the summer. Now, I will share some thoughts on another product from La Roche Posay which is a mix of both products mentioned - <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/la-roche-posay/anthelios-protection-tinted-face-fluid-spf-50/">Anthelios UVMUNE 400 Tinted fluid</a>. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1oXj-3hZZhD_DQUO87Vu9D3QX2-yNjVt0aEKVFZf7V13ygFYHhdlPGN30j3npQ0FlpREdK4G3yy0xOWBN3vh9k9SK-plkkEJdKZ42BQKTrMSJntYGB83ox0QRa8lVG3Lajvuuu3977ur-MTIcesD_IAqcQrGhCkd8SB7bIb3anXupfPrEGKVpjF3uZ-U/s16000/IMG_9866.jpeg" title="Notino La Roche Posay Anthelios Tinted" /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The SPF50 fluid comes in 50 ml plastic bottle. The consistency is the same as for the invisible fluid - very runny. It soaks into the skin easily and leaves it nice and glowy. And tinted! </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The tint is much lighter than the Anthelios Mineral One. It does not cover red spots or scars but it gives the skin the tint and glow so it is ideal for the no makeup makeup days when I want to look very natural but am too pale to go away without any makeup (I mean... the contrast between my skin and the circles under my eyes is not great leaving me looking like a walking corpse sometimes). The light tint evens out the skin creating a much healthier look without looking like I have any makeup on. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFjwYWqNBcfNmM17iCcdTMjDkYlj6K6XW_AqgK7jlK02L9Sb5JvwU3AcuHl8v9520z2E1kuLDo6E8WzEpmTnSKXwa0Lds_Lxtw3CaoI9XsmDx60pYv3Mr0AON5PEUlQM80ZrVXQNHSjpMN-K4P_wi1a_zW6aI1EsNM7YXhxJeGT2XFpeC4ejJ9O8m4P0U/s16000/IMG_9868.jpeg" title="Notino La Roche Posay Anthelios Tinted" /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">I am not sure if the colour (there is only one shade) is the best match but since the cover is just very sheer, it does not seem to be an issue.

Moreover, it is not too expensive so if your budget is tight, this bronzer may be an okay solution. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p></div>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/06107113404722667633noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-83421798147529386552023-08-01T16:08:00.000+01:002023-08-01T16:08:37.804+01:00Social media viral: Clinique - Black Honey<div style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 3px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">*<i> This product was gifted to me for review</i></div></span></span></div><div style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 3px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 28px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 3px; text-align: left; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">I think we have established that I am easily influenced and can be sucked into any trend </span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;"> </span><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;">when it comes to makeup.

The <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/lipstick/">lipstick</a> comes in an elegant slim silver tube and the product itself is so dark and deep creating and illusion of black lipstick. Don’t worry, I am well past my goth/emo stage so I am not aiming to match my darkest eyeliner (and my soul) with my lips. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx5AkJVtg7OWOoyy8i399HjDmSCzjF3JgD39RnXLffVUDJ_KfEkVCXK955gxtogClJIfNgnE-48CZX7niu22wWY4y20ioOzvagNxNpGcE-MwCU-65llummThpHwfsiYkoFdaLqLckDjX27I2g8uJz0VK-TX4fNy4k6XjVV2vxIUqZWyrb9CMAGdbDqN68/s16000/IMG_8692.jpeg" title="Clinique Black Honey" /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Despite its dark look, once applied the balm covers the lips in a beautiful blackberry sheer colour. It’s creamy, hydrating and buildable. I cannot confirm or deny that this shade suits every skin tone as advertised but I can definitely confirm it suits me. It gives my lips nice and juicy look and it feels very comfortable on the lips. Obviously, it is a balm so the shiny juicy look wears off after a while but the tint stays on for long so only gentle top ups are required through the day. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUnt5WAUhGm69WYGtZSTrd3dEFYZUvpwKkp6VqEJjJOQh385GLfldVDPEtSDHQG6ef-yXrhBI-iYInM-0WoL9xJlhScNvhdZJjM4YC4nasv30-GX5tEoQwiJnlczJ95FPLmmURhORrJqRKQZ3EoTueP_fvHpuQ1Vk1j3xnTCsHgCH7FgJfx5GF3teWH0Y/s16000/IMG_8915.jpeg" title="Clinique Black Honey" /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The price may be steeper for a lip balm but this classic from <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/clinique/">Clinique</a> has been around since 70s for a reason and I think the price is justified. It’s one of the timeless makeup staples that is loved for generations and we should give some respect to this makeup OG.

I apologise I could not resist to start this post differently given we are going to be talking about yet another semi-pink perfume in my collection. Do you remember that a while ago, I have reviewed then one of the newest and hottest arrival of that season, the iconic My Way from Armani? Well, today we will be looking at this perfume’s sister called My Way Parfum that I got from Notino during their <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/black-friday/">Summer Black Friday</a> sale. It has entered the market fairly recently and its face is popular actress Sydney Sweeney. </span><p></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkIFGxlZ4r0kMWFKMVlI7YPWExx3oZRBbcCjFGE_a7UysF_Neoh3K2tluep_OteowSVg3QuEzb7UvoAS3k9zoZqd5xh_Q5Xk0LZDhU04x2KBnxYYUajjqSSpRgIo22ARnk5f5Nn-VSchlN7ZPYAxp_R6syoLr9Eg9TlSns-OScjch1KvXH_9JPT83AAn4/s16000/IMG_8671.jpeg" title="Armani My Way Parfum Review" /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">I am a huge fan of Armani perfumes and My Way isn’t an exemption so I wanted to try the new version too. It comes in the same style of glass bottle as other members of My Way family but the bottle is coloured in dark blue which creates a nice mix of pink, blue and purple. Compared to the original My Way, this bottle is more eyecatching in my opinion. You can get it in 30ml, 50ml or 90ml bottle including 100ml refill. I really like the idea of refilling the perfume bottle. I usually go for the smallest bottle available so I can fit it into my handbag easily but then I run out quickly and need to buy a new one which creates unnecessary waste of packaging. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix1xePCkBy1jQviTcn56jH3WdmVDSbyS1dlqFMorkaf3msyJh7iRDG7W5rh5MkWZryS88TOn1GJcfXx-XE244iY9AhvGwv46Lb8h2dBH20rjhi9dVvJiQMSNAJq45x5SmBS40GV2viGxKeC3dDnDU6ztm7pbo2fy3bV8Mom8RA7WXUMRGkxXr3depaJFs/s16000/IMG_8670.jpeg" title="Armani My Way Parfum Review" /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The original My way is very sweet, floral and feminine (as most of the <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/armani/">Giorgio Armani</a> perfumes). The Parfum version is moreless the same with more spice to it which makes it slightly heavier. Not too much though, I am still comfortable wearing it during the day (I just don’t bathe in it as much as I usually do with some other perfumes). There is a less of the fruitiness compared to the original and more of the woodyness. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFsu0IdrWJDHpxL5trmCZsRXZUwCh4N4Fztw-thMU-wc9z0i7FSsU2CKhIOEOVQ5XBkQBuZykiuy40jWP_tI65Z3BOqqv0t84Ty-5nQycp0kEAjAARbEESr5G_QpHyKFcRLvlZkAJyWdbINw15fhYH7TLl-FyPjpJ-g9Nk92NBz4zD21hBbRY6fbUaprE/s16000/IMG_8673.jpeg" title="Armani My Way Parfum Review" /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">I had the chance to try all of the My Way perfumes and I think each of them matches one season. The original is great for Summer, the My Way Intense would be my go-to for autumn, My Way Parfum is a winter scent and My Way Floral is just perfect for spring. Now, you may ask why would I wear My Way Parfum in the middle of the summer. The reason is that I live in Scotland and we do not do summers here and therefore I wear heavier perfumes all year long. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span></p><table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoTableGrid" style="border-collapse: collapse; border: medium; mso-border-alt: solid windowtext .5pt; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184;">

And when I say cover, I mean really cover. It offers a matte finish but I can achieve a natural finish when using a glowy primer underneath. I usually skip a concealer when wearing this foundation as it is not really needed.

As much as we should be wearing a good SPF all year long, I am deifinitely more vigilant in the summer. For that reason, I decided to try out new SPF, this from Cosrx. I have not tried this brand up until now but I have seen it all over the skincare community so I have been looking to try their products for a while now. The Aloe SPF <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/sunscreen/">sunscreen</a> has really good reviews and the price is not too steep for korean beauty brand. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqOqG_DdRnLBj744dr3UihS6tj8wkBpcrFt5w_5R6msesAB6X5W5x2HEnDp2qsAG_PcsOCv1K1Kk8sMRnCCEzuluUZ46Mv_k4lK14jsz7UGHCF7nf_skMNe7Kf5_OZGzoOBGZdKoErkFS8Tse38yetRU4uw3UKYe-c_cy2osw-T4ThEBYdYAVHgiSc22g/s16000/IMG_3949.jpeg" title="COSRX Aloe SPF Review" /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/cosrx/aloe-suntan-cream-spf-50/">Aloe Soothing Sun cream</a> comes in 50ml tube.

It has watery formula that comes through once the cream touches the skin. It hydrates my skin well as well, although I am still using moisturiser before applying this SPF cream and I am not sure if I could do just with the SPF cream. </span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><i style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWoy2YLLox4WIcQZCYPRWSK_HCC8zfeuCp-40wrZcIc87FWimq4uiuKDObIM2LjxLsZKGa7KcoocjrWVVBdPObC2CTBzPfy0FgSS0xUBbrG0a1N3TOBi7gcTOfvGw4cure9RwVH56X3YnZUnX7XJSaTbABNHHl0brlARKjHdhCl0udQR-tvYQGQrZ0ye0/s16000/IMG_3971.jpeg" title="COSRX Aloe SPF Review" /></i></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">I have had a chance to test this cream out in extreme conditions (and by extreme conditions I mean the three days of tropical heat on my stay in Czech Republic). The cream did not feel heavy at all and my nose did not burn despite running around in 33 degrees weather and direct sunlight.

The coverage is light to medium but can be built up to high coverage without being too thick or cakey.

Obviously, It’s not fair to compare drugstore L’oreal to luxury brand like Eisenberg but the serum foundation from L'oreal had so many superstar reviews that I was expecting something totally mind blowing. It did not live up to my expectations but the Eisenberg’s Fond De Teint foundation absolutely did. I love it, It’s now probably one of my top5. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423597880142482548noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-84654792711555452862023-05-31T08:01:00.002+01:002023-05-31T10:13:06.726+01:00New in: Nars<p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><i>*Ad - Products mentioned in this post were gifted to me for a review by notino.co.uk</i></div><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br />Welcome to the year of <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/nars/">NARS</a>. 2023 has been the year of my re-discovery of this brand and I am wondering why did I not reach for their products more often.

For about a month, the <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/nars/powermatte-lipstick-ultra-matte-longwear-lipstick/">Powermatte lipstick</a> was everywhere promising long-lasting wear. Needless to say, I got intrigued by the way it was presented as a smudge-proof. I could pick one of 14 shades and I picked the shade called Sweet Disposition. It is the perfect shade of pink, I think it suits me really well. It’s the perfect blend of nude and colour to fit well everyday wear as well as evening makeup looks. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaB-6bdsqxnbo5OkEsjfral7NqavQpNdK8yWCm01HSvbIPBgtBm5vqjG-DdiaPxYsyvVKt00woNnaePxSQFMTNA5zXIqJArzOlNO8G5sl8swTXkUQK5-VHnceKuF4mcOvmh7wb0A-cWVmANNmE0v8mXAzN_YwHWJWRNBbeEnSJx-D7wkmBYri6LVLTkQ/s16000/IMG_0744.jpeg" title="NARS NOTINO" /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The lipstick is very pigmented, there are not that many lipsticks that gave me the same payout.

This time, I just had to have the popular <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/mac-cosmetics/locked-kiss-ink-liquid-lipcolor-long-lasting-matte-liquid-lipstick/">Locked Kiss Ink</a> Liquid Lipcolor in a shade 62 Bodacious. It was all over my FYP (for you page for those of you who are not familiar with Tik Tok lingo. And yes, it took me months to figure this one out) and I could not resist. I have not used liquid lipstick in a very long time since lip glosses and creamy lipsticks took over, so I was excited. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqYUXk-X9RDaquk0kSB8e1QyhtEfcG1bwovgW5Jqsut-8M69mlHgE9ItEan_E1mwf5QrJ2kyZDmjZlOiarSyQ2bHV2USntbIQbkMe1DG0LCFGjIoR841fLJTAz2FITmZurs9uwPe_wNRZcav2181WM-fICHMdFSPKPSHnEMmhjph2me2B97I8drJhaxw/s16000/AC147BF5-295E-4722-A6BA-7BA037EC8BD0.jpeg" title="MAC Cosmetics" /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The formula is lightweight and quite comfortable to wear. There is, however, a trade-off. The comfort usually suggests that the lipstick won’t stay on the lips for too long and this is exactly the case. It won’t survive much food and many drinks but on day to day basis, it stays on for a few hours. It makes my lips a bit wrinkled despite not drying them out (at least it does not feel kike it does).

It works miracles and it turns most short-lived makeup into products, that cover my face successfully for the whole day. I recently travelled a lot so I bought myself a travel size of the Stay Over version of the Fix+ Spray. It’s the newest arrival so I thought why not, it’s Mac, it will be good. Surely. Well, truth to be told, I feel like this member of the Fix+ family is not as good as the others. I feel like it does not do that much to the makeup I have on. It definitely does not make it last much longer so I was a bit disappointed. One thing I liked though is the spray nozzle. It produces a very fine mist and spreads the liquid evenly across my face. If the original Fix+ sprays started to be distributed in a bottle of the Stay Over version, it would be the best setting spray of all time. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ4p4kI3xoioozZWsK3fdDYwegVxK4vei1mL1hjAHPWpE-i9pTARirNdFMkISCgXexJBjvHKJHofFLxXi92TATkY2Vyp0qKsDbvzBZEDj7lQQn7tCJm9PvjUptVnhXppZA4-24t9qBY8pESf7a-R9Q1X8QBD6rlpYdghGSexZiX4K5PEgwukEQTGx2Ug/s16000/8F38A209-5114-4785-B879-C1B065D909C9.jpeg" title="MAC Cosmetics" /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><u><b>Fix+ Lavender Setting Spray</b></u></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">Since the newest arrival to the family of setting sprays did not pass, I went back to what I know works the best but this time I decided to try the Lavender Version of it hoping it will be exactly the same as the original with a much nicer scent. And that’s exactly what this product is. It works wonders. I have recently bought a foundation that lasts for about three hours and then it turns into a patchy mess if applied on its own. This setting spray turns it into an all-day-wear foundation. Exactly the same way as the original Fix+ spray does. And it smells fantastic if you are a fan of lavender.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmhlEkvd3ZwHeX3hRrcZCXV64W9uZxeL4aD3SAgT3iwHC5G5LktXr3aX09iayuTs3hBOV_VahEDs4lvhkSW0X3hCs9jNhAzZnnsApTMkWDLo0QxcOX7d4Ly2M4veLKoqDZ7aNxAkqZTvMRdvx-c6uFmSvTPkvFH6kUVW5rxJQQAIkWhhuw5FGb_moNag/s16000/ACFDFDFC-34B5-4FAD-9A5C-E06F7D8D911A.jpeg" title="MAC Cosmetics" /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><u><b>Strobe Cream Primer</b></u></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">As a little bonus, I got a small sample of <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/mac/strobe-cream-moisturising-cream-with-brightening-effect-shade-pinklite/">Strobe Cream</a> with my order.

I remember I liked it a lot but since then I have found a better high-end option (namely Lash Clash from YSL). The Idole family has been recently expanded and the eyeliners from this collection entered the scene. I am on a hunt for a decent brown eyeliner and since I had a positive experience trying the Lash Idole mascara, I decided to try the <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/lancome/lash-idole-idole-liner-waterproof-eyeliner/">Lash Idole Ultra Precise Waterproof Liner</a> in 02 Matte Syrup Brown. <div><br /></div><div><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQlEYBPy3eE9Gn8NVk7ABoHMW0RuD8Ov1fArV0eVV88XoVmJ065zTwf1mCD7dcOMTGEMrGOVVlirfbgBqhDMkOzTh8FtQKAIxs1bgNYgxKiXJIAvzPJUKOeiZ8kGQ5fC9UwLTiijRRHYflMO86dVqmblTUpUywYgRR_WW0tPCRrBQiqQ36Ebymr5UV2A/s16000/AE1C82D4-45A8-4BA4-AAB8-D50F4139B5FF.jpeg" title="Lancome Lash Idole eyeliner" /><br /><p></p><p>The packaging is gorgeous. I am rarely paying attention to the packaging of eyeliner but the Lancome Idole collection is something else. The combination of rose gold and brown with black is so elegant and it makes the product look very expensive. </p><p><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVTZVW2j58TJbbbjCYMxHRWYUPEgttZuTPiEiISwHcisjdxS_MTvN2_VrhpDtbZ8ZpnbJ3AVvsK5I3ts3EKRKmYKPVKk6S7DDGteaUhdi0fSt6ty1i5siHHXBgk7C_uNj_mgYDSnfPesFTlZwG8jny7smvARe-lf-v3-3YTZsewmIz2RhciSU77XLU5g/s16000/4DCE80F5-5FD2-4763-8C52-15491731B600.jpeg" title="Lancome Lash Idole eyeliner" /></p><p>The eyeliner is well-pigmented for a brown pen. The colour is lighter brown, unlike many other brown eyeliners that are nearly black. The tip is not as precise as I would like it to be but it still swipes across the lid easily. </p><p><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3c5PaypckpAf_P-uE648oVRtMAaiJr6p-hzG1G3vNNp2xcJGUMpQdke7smqtzYbER9n98HAp43wAbHA7OnZW3i1jKO-Ki5ehYrM8b0vh874vYyU3dWiQwVbdSGKzg56rdMmCvHe8hctJVJahV6WjE20cJpAvs6lsukZDVy7UFLlPvBbuzT34Srz60RQ/s16000/81558556-0619-49A3-B198-248CCDC7BAEC.jpeg" title="Lancome Lash Idole eyeliner" /></p><p>It is sweatproof and it stays on the whole day but I would not say it is waterproof. I am not too mad about it though, if it can stay on the whole day without smudging, I can get past the fact that it will not survive any underwater activities (since there are so many lol). Any standard makeup remover can remove this eyeliner without any issues.</p><p><img border="0" data-original-height="2448" data-original-width="3264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjj0kWXWHEbhXnZkXjGxuFxTBoyMJdVbo2m5SZyCp-oeLQC0v3Vx_MhdW7QLz9x4CUXlBvR267ryS6hjERWn5BFMcLDvhoQ0RIR4Mdr_pymsLirxUL7Nz4KRfRCF11RLM5iLsZjVWygWNI_v30rnBA_9tW9WV2WVEXu6-LBu2s-3jrtmNKjP5E5uW3V2g/s16000/692E2E92-C23E-459E-8098-553727A06EB0.jpeg" title="Lancome Lash Idole eyeliner" /></p><p>It is difficult to find good brown eyeliner. I think we achieved a good standard for the black eyeliners but the brown ones are not quite there yet. This <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/eyeliner/">eyeliner</a> is definitely one of the best brown eyeliners I have tried, however, seeing how good the black eyeliners are, I believe there is room for improvement on the front of longevity. I had this eyeliner for about three weeks and I can feel it drying out. For any reason, this is a common denominator for all of the brown liners I had tried. I think it will give me another week or two but do not expect it to last for months. So far, this is the longest a brown eyeliner lasted me so that's a win. Don’t get me wrong, I this is one of the best brown eyeliners I have ever had, I just want to make you aware that the bar for brown eyeliners is not as as high compared to black ones. </p><p><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIgiBKZhHiVlttn42d3HZmP-Mu60dJZ7SUgEwI4W4eEubywEm0Pk-x5VAnp5dcBPcP1Nihk1zRvx8wPw455RWyVCv88q0MILNcSnZpGlC6iMsF2qPVs1nve6PTVDGj3G64qtkBguasW0sm3zp0MzkQYskJigO8IkszjldqZPv2vz2sdGfJ5EK9nFzA7g/s16000/985A81FA-6D38-4BB2-AB96-10994B325AD7.jpeg" title="Lancome Lash Idole eyeliner" /></p><p>I would really like to try the Lash Idole Liner in black colour.

Liquid blush?! Nah, thanks, powder all the way. Funny how that changed. In 2023, I am obsessing over cream and liquid blushes more than I ever did over powdery ones. I had my eye on the liquid blush from Nars for a while now and since I run out of my other liquid blush, It was time to give an Orgasm a go (could Nars perhaps rename their most iconic shade so sentences like this sound less dirty?</span><span class="s2">🤣</span><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">). </span><div><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></div><div><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDh3FrN-DYT4YZHj_Z_D39LRV04av-ruwgk6-_AROZ1tkVBr06t_2a_21ETpfraxNk0mYQhGUXTKsKj6p2x_l44iorFHD2L6xmmM01drXkO1SCsjarO_ZAmKFzX2H0qTr8JxDKSNq-DHw6TrJxN1zSLfOYoTlW2shDe2vbxYwwA-13j1lqC2Z7Rdwrpw/s16000/AC0D02CF-E1AF-402C-BDDA-FB28312A7A0D.jpeg" title="Nars Liquid blush" /><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">It comes in a 15ml glass bottle with a black pump and lid. The box and the cover both say “shake properly” which I, of course, ignored the first time I used this blush so my initial impression was that the blush is way too runny and the pigment is not that great. A couple of shakes later, all was fixed. The moral of the story: shake the blush well.</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnn4KPkZ7IWvwq8ZmBA4qsYdNqa_sH0YplBw2zmHkG0yfjfzcvM2GV5aj5tuiyeJn8cODpquymj1uHFWjbWlzdKSKiV6805mVH5qGIs3mpnccytFf6CMSJ75P0eZU2n_zNDmxESGkO7W-pEiex_uEar56vgvgnhGHba7f3eP37vGTiudEDDKcLHc1PkQ/s16000/4099A7DB-D848-4340-A793-2C899450144A.jpeg" title="Nars Liquid blush" /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The blush offers a beautiful pink shade, kind of Barbie meets baby pink. The liquid itself looks rich and matte but once blended into the skin, it reveals a warm shimmer that creates the sun-kissed blushed look.

It works on bare skin and on makeup too and I believe it will suit most skin fair tones.

There are other shades available so even if you are not a baby pink kind of gal, you should find your match. As you can probably tell, I absolutely recommend it. Perhaps this blush can be something you (mums) can spend your mother's day <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/gift-vouchers/">voucher</a> on. </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s1" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAkiz5Cqx6zfklbfW77_5P94pL28_L--l9xx6CKDxXGERZuG7wuyFVWUc2C1olYBsIw9FjaogxfS4TaMcUhnfnH1YPhHNmPROzGtYnCC8Ouyk3iGqT2ue_GtT5SyFoATA0Pck_a0hUoT5hESzXzsoABWDS9xqeaixz4CnAsYJhUzgn_KP5mNjWRbwYCA/s16000/37CE02EF-65F9-4A79-B4AF-05DA12ED1984.jpeg" title="Nars Liquid blush" /></span></p></div></div>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423597880142482548noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887885004887834037.post-79254487448327116282023-03-15T16:01:00.000+00:002023-03-15T16:01:31.368+00:00Narciso Rodriguez: For Her Musc Noir Rose<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">AD - This product was gifted for a review</div><br />Lately, I have been very susceptible to advertisements and
general presence on social media. I am not sure why that is as I used to be
quite resilient, and I was not as easily influenced. I have been seeing a
perfume all over Instagram and it has been labelled as a <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">“</span>French girl<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">’</span>s scent<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;">”</span>. It is
the Musc Noir Rose from <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/narciso-rodriguez/">Narciso Rodriguez</a>. So many people have been raving
about this fragrance, so I finally gave in despite the composition not being
exactly what I usually look for in a perfume.<div><br /></div><div><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5QQR2RnO8X_1MD9C7PLwOt3UzLrFvfk7p0ySS3uU-EqiYZjwNaup0hVxYvCcyaSbJrdDsfp_W-6r_DHtCT0gM9BTtkgLTbdsZ990wFDmY4BofdtMxhYNqmnIv8gLUao1i3oMDfFZMEX4XwGCOvpevmCruHDvzYUroObtL7oJYlt9S6mlkRH-_JFCN/s16000/124097F3-ECFD-4493-A7E2-5A9AA49C5D13.jpeg" title="Narciso Rodriguez" /><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/womens-perfume/">women's perfume</a> comes in three sizes, the usual 30 ml, 50 ml and
100 ml. I have picked the smallest size. I have loads of travels planned for this
year still and 30ml bottles are just the most practical. The perfume comes in a
beautiful rectangular bottle dark rose bottle. It matches the scent perfectly. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfJ_pZHeJ1_PW7Y95DKpRcT-OX95M-JqcpY_a0exvDguS68LZkF8Gfk-gCrOVhgRlwUCbjpKUqBq_oG8Q3QGZagcM2fweATYNiOB0HOK313C2Nr1KV81CoQ4m4GR8wXOzsYStQYD8RiKaP33Bqm125J5D0JyCVW_swG4StnfmOt6NoC-iDv7P0F1Cu/s16000/57786D6B-8895-4DFA-A155-6B11C5BBC932.jpeg" title="Narciso Rodriguez" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Top Notes: Bergamot, Pink Pepper<br />
Middle Notes: Musk, Tuberose<br />
Base Notes: Vanilla, Patchouli, Suede<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The scent falls onto the heavier side. The top seems fresh
and fruity thanks to the bergamot, but it quickly turns into a much warmer scent
with a hint of spice. The Vanilla at the base gives the perfume a sweet
undertone. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" data-original-height="4608" data-original-width="3456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxOqLbDxCJ-uU3o4jpRt6bdxxZ9GpK0-cW07xgfxes-G4tPerBUy3M9EGOWUe2GWzEjOQPg03Kph-zmp017rLRNjOAEVD-Hf6_VBX0TRvtyVClqGABuC-o01weHo5G0G5qMJkNcE8_JuzW_i7_7M7PeHK7zvqkkvAFVD8F1uL-ClddP1dqHraNVNpX/s16000/ED0D3021-E7FC-45F5-864C-5A77053D0592.jpeg" title="Narciso Rodriguez" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are days I could wear it as a day perfume but mostly
it is an evening scent for me. It gives me the expensive grown-up vibe with a hint
of rebelliousness. This perfume truly gives you dark feminine energy. It
lasts a whole day and for me, personally, one or two spritzes are enough. If I go
heavier (meaning cover myself from top to bottom in the perfume), the musk
comes out too heavy for my taste. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtQ4544WAtU6cCKAlerJ0V6-Y04pjuJDO2NFdmSVaRUSWXUxagz07b1ANCRk7nX38aGQTeHNUZRAH9y5XkHBdIjDNUYB03SLeIkjL80OYQHoQP8hNFe9osOgwU-LXc2eVLYMYbY2_AlDzXhERH7KisNSC_HxyrWHQTpZ_YMfIXip99fR0wCaI117ab/s16000/C7F8BD41-75D8-4ACC-9643-1421A54E13F2.jpeg" title="Narciso Rodriguez" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is such an interesting scent and I get why people like it
so much. Musc Noir Rose is my first perfume from Narciso Rodriguez and I am now keen to explore the rest of their scents.<br />The musk would usually be a no-go for me so I am grateful I went against
my initial gut reaction and decided to try this Instagram-viral perfume. <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/mothers-day/">Mother's day</a> is just around the corner so you can always treat your mum to a gift voucher and perhaps suggest trying this perfume.</p><p class="MsoNormal">There

I used to be scares of oils but the Moringa cleansing balm from Emma Hardie changed my (skincare) life. It quickly became my holy grail but the price is steep so I’m on a never ending quest to find a cheaper option. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">The Take The Day Off cleansing balm from <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/clinique/">Clinique</a> has been around for a while. I am generally not a huge fan of skincare from Clinique so I never felt the urge to give it a go. However, I have seen a couple of reviews that changes my mind and I decided to give it a try. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXUOezoPmZ35N3Uad1WNvYUQqNZjqmD6hp1lAK7XUYzyjkHQLHZFuCEZVJEtJ9FtoZjNu0GaT2i8LEUQ2kqPvFGc_Fii3ppj2-Ir2e5A79Wkn4Nxw9R98nxT0ZIda0ud4V-5saOX37-4RDOOlBEb258cPm3z5w3bzRaXXVQ1mT1xwMsuZSzJuD8iJ4Q/s16000/503FF980-73A3-43B2-9A2A-D0EDF9E20048.jpeg" title="Cleanser Clinique Notino" /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">I got the 125ml pot of the balm but it also comes in 30ml travel size and 200ml jumbo size. The balm is fragranca free and should be non-comedogenic (does not clog pores). The composition seems less oily compared to other balms, it is probably closer to a <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/skin-care/cleansing/">cleanser</a> cream. It melts well when rubbed into the skin taking most of the makeup off while massaging it into my face. </span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">It feels lighter than most other cleanser balms and I think this is the big reason why people like it so much. I personally like too but it does not take off some of my eye makeup, so a proper eye makeup remover has to step in. This is the main reason why I am sticking to my beloved Moringa Cleansing balm from <a href="https://www.notino.co.uk/emma-hardie/" rel="nofollow">Emma Hardie</a>. That one removes everything. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>The Clinique balm leaves my skin nice and soft but I keep getting random spots on my face since I started using this balm and I think it is because of this cleanser. I had the same response to some other products from Clinique so I think Clinique is just not my brand when it comes to skincare.</span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><br /></span></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc6hrtOAVOzuOpUmaXMQhyMYS4PNwqZSjnlhionQMXVIDTalceB1quH2nqxpW6b9T-Y7PflTTIhazZ146KyvqAhU9Sjzx5BnmE01fImbGfSOZUk-aQjS4BgPQrGZqXBbP6mmqlGp1U5FRmYBtJql7ZMQz2kGIdtZ00gYzsiTHoCB_FhfSujfp55HdCSg/s16000/AE077CEB-2A55-4D06-81F2-5E0A7E2FBBE4.jpeg" title="Cleanser Clinique Notino" /></span></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 22px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;"></span><br /></p><p class="p3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody;">As you can tell, I did not find a replacement for Emma Hardie’s Moringa cleansing balm this time but I am glad I finally tried this viral product. My quest is therefore not over and I am looking forward to continue this adventure.</span></p>V.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16423597880142482548noreply@blogger.com0
