Essence Haul!

Hi there!
This week my sister was in town so we  went for a little shopping and among others we bought some interesting things from Essence. So, I thought I would let you know what we got!





First thing first, what I went for is the stay natural concealer. The whole product (packaging, product itself) looks to me a lot like the one from Maybelline.  I payed for this 2.50 euro, so I didn't mind testing it in case it's a dupe for the Maybelline one. So far, I' ve used it a couple of times and it's really good except not very highlighting. I will let you know how it goes in the future!

My sister is currently changing her eyebrows. So, she purchased the set for the brows as it looked really appealing . The colors are quite cool, perfect for more natural brunettes or blondes. It also comes with some how to-cards, a very simple small brush and three stencils which are really nice! The shapes are not extreme. Actually two of them suit me very well and they don't have very many differences. If you have larger or smaller brows than the stencils, you can use them for reshaping your arch. I personally think they are very helpful.

Last but not least, we bought some nail polish stuff. The Essence base coat (as we both have the top coat and it's quite nice + inexpensive) and a nail polish from their latest collection. That nail polish has actually one of the most rare names I've seen- take a ride on pegasus. They both were 2,30 euro.

Review: Bioderma Hydrabio Serum

Goodmorning every1!  Long time, no see!

For today's post I have an absolute favorite. Hydrabio Serum from Bioderma for sensitive skin. 
I usually have the same problem around this time of the year-spring. My skin starts feeling a bit oily on the T-zone but also has some dryness on my cheeks and dry paches all around! I've found that the best thing to use for moisture is a serum. You can even change the moisturizer you love, with a serum from the same line. It's actually the exact thing but this one is much more hydrating and so much lighter! It will not clog your pores as it's super fluid-y and thin in texture and will get rid of the redness you have. It will give your skin the moisture it needs, without having to deal with more oilness. Actually, when you put it on it feels really refreshing and it absorbs totally, leaving your skin not at all greasy. 


Bioderma Hydrabio Serum- very dehydrated and sensitive skin



Comes with a pump which makes it super convenient




Thin texture, rich in water for a very nice moisture



This one is a little bit more pricy than the moisturizer from the same line. But, a little goes a long way and it is 40ml. Comes with a pump, so that you can control the amount you use. Also, consists a very very nice base for your make up. Especially if you use a matte foundation or a compact one. Even if you have oily skin, there will be the right serum for you. I think Bioderma has the same one for oily skin, called Bioderma Sebium serum. So, be sure to check these serums in case you need something like that, or search if the moisturizer you use has a serum. 
Thanks a lot!

Review: Lush - MMM Melting Marshmallow Moment, Bath Melt

Hello everybody and welcome to another one post!

I used up my Lush MMM Melting Marshmallow Moment and I thought it would be interesting to share my thoughts with you!
When I first opened the box with the bath melt from Lush, I seriously thought of spring!! The smell is so intense that the box smelled like that two weeks after! It makes you wanna eat it, as it has ALSO the shape of a cupcake. What?? Can it be cuter?
The smell is really sweet with a hint of sourness. This may be the reason that I love it so much.  The combination of sweet and sour. Reminds me of sweet fizzer candy. Your bath is so spring-y and calming! It actually has real marshmallow herbs inside that are released when it dissolves into water. This ingredient is the secret that makes your skin so soft and silky after using it. It also contains almond oil and cocoa butter, that moisturize your skin. The result is double, as it works as a bath melt and a fizzer ball too!
Plus, it makes your bath water pink and fluffy, which is a lot of fun!!

It has the size of my fist


It is a little bit pricy (6 euro), but every once in a while, a good relaxing bath is worth it! You can break it in pieces and use it for multiple baths, combining it with a bubble bath of your choice.

Thanks a lot for checking out! Follow me for more fun stuff.
And....have a very nice week!

Nail of the day: Nails inc - Baker street


Happy Friday every1 !!!
Today's post is another one NAIL OF THE DAY. Baker street is a Nails inc nail polish. The bottle is very pretty. It has rhinestones all over it, so that makes it quite a piece for nail polish collectors! It is also very convenient, because you can find it in between your other nail polishes. This will definitely stand out! As far as the quality goes, the color is quite pigmented and has a shiny finish. It is a very popular color. Unlike any other in the market, it is a very bright blue. The brush is very plane and reminds me of Revlon ones in a shorter version. Last but not least, the price is just like an Opi nail polish, but this one has less ml (10ml). However, the quality is very good and this would last you a long time. It goes amazingly with jeans and a loose T-shirt as an everyday color for upcoming spring and summer. A color that will make a boring outfit more unique.








I have two coats of it in the pictures below.
