It was a raving review that pointed me to this blush. I\'ve been eyeing these for a while, as the whole brand has a luxury feel too it, but it\'s doesn\'t have inflatted high-end prices, as they are more of a mid-range. You really get a...

*ORIFLAME Giordani Gold Age Defying Serum Boost FoundationVanilla NeutralOriflame had an Age Defying foundation before, which was sent to me in a dark shade some time ago, but regardless the formula impressed me and I used it on others, on who it...

These have been around for a long time and they were the first 2-step lipsticks came across. I wanted to try these, but the shade range is so frosty. I checked the limited selection we have in drugstores and there was nothing I\'d wear daily. I...

Don\'t let the mini tube confuse you, this is just a mini size, though a generous tester/travel version. Many years ago I had a medium sized pink version, which I think is the original formula (Skin79 BB Cream Hot Pink Super+ Beblesh Balm), but...

Though S-He products were some of the first I ever bought because back in the days before Essence and Catrice, this was the cheapest brand, I\'ve never been a fan of the theirs. However, the nail polishes have been a highlight since their...

These little sticks have had quite a moment since they launched. It took me months to track one down, since the Essence stand here has been more empty than full in the last year. Actually even a few days ago there wasn\'t a single one of these on...

This was one of the shades I found when I was looking for a dupe of Mac\'s Please Me and Jordana\'s Matte Lipstick in 48 Pink Passion (the other dupe was Eveline\'s Velvet Mat Lipstick in 510). It\'s one of the old Maybelline\'s lipsticks...

Highly Rated Lash Extensions MascaraThis is a tubing mascara, which means it can be removed just with warm water. It\'s interesting to see how the whole coating comes off in a single piece of the lashes when removing it, but I like to follow up...

IT COSMETICS CC+ Nude Glow Lightweight Foundation and Glow SerumFair PorcelainI\'m a fan of the original CC, which they don\'t have in a light enough shade for me, but this new line of CCs has a pale shade that matches me well. Formula is unlike...

A lipstick with two steps: colour and a sealer. My favourite Revlon\'s Overtime have a liquid/gloss sealer, while these have a balm, similar to Max Factor Lipfinity. These are designed to be very long lasting and resilient, similarly as the matte...

This foundation has been on the market for a long time and I think it\'s the one I remember seeing ads of when I was younger (and the discontinued Color Adapt). The packaging was changed in the last year or maybe two, but I don\'t know if they...

Naj Oleari is an Italian brand that has existed for decades, but I\'ve never heard of it until a stand appeared in my local Müller some years back. For a long time I didn\'t try anything from this brand, mainly because no one (here) talks about...

I have been struggling with this foundation since I got it months ago. My first impression was disappointment because I expected a lot given that I love their Fit Me Matte + Poreless and Dream Urban Cover foundations, so I was really looking forward...

ORIFLAME Giordani Gold Pure Uforia FoundationPorcelainA foundation I wore most this year, in fact it\'s become my go-to formula, particularly when my skin is dry. The shade matches me perfectly, so that\'s a big plus on its own. It\'s a...

BOURJOIS Healthy Mix Serum (2023 version)I\'m a fan of the Healthy Mix foundation, even the newly reformulated one (though the old version was better). They discontinued their Serum formula a while ago, a foundation I used for years and now they...

This is kind of new, but also not really - they are tinted lip balms with a pigmentation like those glossy lipsticks. Someone just had the brilliant idea to market them as blushes and they made shades that work for both lips and cheeks. I often use...

These are currently my favourite lipsticks formula, though I won\'t say it was love at first try, as they left a terrible first impression - but it was likely all my fault. They were so dry and refused to swatch, but before I swatched them I took...

REVLON Colorstay Suede Ink Lipstick001 Gut Instinct, 002 No Rules, 005 Hot Girl, 008 That Girl, 009 in Charge, 010 Tunnel Vision and 014 Spit FireI\'ve already spoken about these in one of the monthly favourites and I consider these my favourite...

These have been on the market for ages. I remember them being around when I just started getting into makeup and they are surely some of the most underrated drugstore blushes. While Milani\'s Baked blushes get mentioned in almost every "best of...

Ever since I tried my first cushion foundation, I\'ve liked how convenient and easy they are to use. No brushes or getting hands dirty, all you need is in one compact. A lot of them also have great ingredients and a high SPF. Sadly I haven\'t...

As old and well-known as these are (they been on the market since 1863), I\'ve long had an aversion to these because one of my first blushes was a  Bourjois\' Little Round Pot. Reviews at the time praised it and there weren\'t that many...

Soft Glam Filter Fluid020 Light-MediumThe softly tinted, illuminating CATRICE Soft Glam Filter Fluid gives your face a "soft glam filter" effect for a soft-focus, perfected and radiant complexion. And it\'s a true all-rounder: The fluid can be...

JOICO Defy Damage ShampooA shampoo with great ingredients for damaged hair, as it has proteins, aminoacids, peptides, oils, a protective lipid. It foams well, the foam is dense (not like Olaplex n.4, but it beats regular shampoos), it\'s a bit...

Skin Booster Serum Foundation3 MediumA foundation that claims to have skin care benefits, combining a serum and coverage. This one has a bit of vitamin C in a  3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid form, which is by now nothing special and it can\'t compare to...

There was a hype about these, as I believe they were mentioned as a dupe for some other liquid glowy blushes, I think Charlotte Tilbury. I\'ve seen raves and negative reviews, so it\'s a polarising formula. I\'m actually not on either side and...
