My Thoughts Corner

HIIII GUUUUUUUUUUUUUYS,

It’s been a while or actually a long time since my last post and believe it or not I so miss this corner. Few months back I was in the quest for a new moisturizer after I ran out of my Clinique one. I needed something light and pocket friendly for my morning routine as the weather started to get hot and humid and that’s when I randomly picked the Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream.

We’ve all heard and read about the benefits of Vitamin E and its key roles for the skin and I won’t focus any further into this. That being said, the Vitamin E Moisture cream is one of TBS bestsellers worldwide. It’s a very lightweight cream that absorbs quickly and easily without being greasy. Just a little bit is enough to balance the moisture of the face and neck, letting the skin feel plumper, softer and hydrated.

The smell of the cream is a lovely light perfume-y scent that fades away sooner after application. TBS claims that it’s an all skin type cream which I agree however I would clarify that it’s actually depending on the weather. In other terms; those with normal to dry skin can enjoy it all year round, the very dry skin people can have in hot summer months and those with oily skin could give it a try only in colder months.

The Vitamin E Moisture Cream keeps my face so hydrated that I never felt the urge to reapply it in middle of the day. The cream is housed in a 50ml tub, which might not be convenient for those being particular in dipping their hands in this packaging form.  

When I just got it I did a little research about this product and I noticed that when it was first launched, the cream contained parabens which was a con for many people. BIG THANKS TO THE BODY SHOP who considered that fact and formulated a paraben free version and you can’t imagine my happiness for this fact.

TBS Vitamin E Moisture Cream is a great basic moisturizer which I honestly can’t call it a holy grail but it’s nice to have it as a backup especially when travelling.

Thank you for taking time to read this post which I hope was helpful for many of you!

I’m sure you already know this, I try out a lot of beauty products and there are lots of hits to make it to my Holy Grail list and lots of misses as well that don’t impress me. It takes me months picking these products as I don’t immediately classify a product as “disappointing” for not delivering from the first time. Another essential fact to keep in mind, the following is my personal experience and opinion on these products. It doesn’t necessarily mean they are bad but it just didn’t work the way I expected them to. With no further ado…

Benefit They’re Real Push-Up Liner| I’m pretty sure I’m one of few who agree that this eyeliner didn’t live up to the hype. The texture is very flaky which makes the application a disaster. I have already posted a complete review about this liner and you can check it here.

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil| As everyone says, these pencils are nice and easy to work with. They have great color payoff with a very soft and creamy consistency nevertheless with or without primer they crease on me. Unfortunately they are a miss for me especially when looking at the wide range of pretty colors they provide at a very affordable price.

Elf SPF 20 Sunscreen Face Primer| I love e.l.f products. Their quality is amazing with a plus of being one of the very cheap products. Sadly the SPF 20 Sunscreen Face Primer is the first one to disappoint me from this brand. It leaves such a greasy layer due to silicon it contains, with or without the application of moisturizer. Adding to that I don’t think it has a power in terms of longevity of the makeup.

Clinique airbrush concealer| I had really high expectations on this one and before even trying it, I decided to have it in my Holy Grail list and I was wrong. Clinique has been for years my first brand of choice when it comes to skincare, they are simply remarkable. The airbrush concealer is a pen type applicator with a small brush that makes it perfect for precise application however it’s not doing any impressive job in covering my mild dark circles. I honestly I believe it is mainly targeting fair skin people with pink undertones.

Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel| This gel was my first brow gel I bought. Bad choice! I dislike this product for one main reason; the wand. It is really big and it picks a lot of product which tends to become quite messy and clumpy. Despite scrapping the excess of product off before application, it is still difficult to use.

Until next time.

Hello Beauties,

Following on my post about the Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro 1 Palette, I figured out it won’t take long before my next makeup revolution review takes place. For instance, I will talk about the sister palette, hence, the Makeup Revolution Iconic Pro 2 Palette. Let’s take a look!

I’ve got to say that there are a lot of similarities in here between the two palettes. The quality of casing is the same as the Pro 1, which adds a luxurious feel and definitely doesn’t match the bargain price. A double sided brush is included in here, which I actually don’t mind using for a simple eye look since it gets the job done, along with a huge mirror.

Just like its sister, the Iconic Pro 2 contains 16 gorgeous shades, each housed in a large pan. The colors vary between neutral, earthy and pearly tones making it a great choice for everyday wear. The formula is creamy, highly pigmented, apply effortlessly and the staying power is just impressive. Simply fabulous!

I’m really glad I got this palette, it’s definitely a must own especially at its price, quality and range of the colours. I’m impressed. Simply it’s just another incredible Makeup Revolution Palette.

This is it for today, hope you enjoyed. Have a great day!
