My Thoughts Corner

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!

Since last December I officially included anti-aging products to my skin care routine. A bit late for thirty something age, but as they say, it’s never late to do good. I don’t have any wrinkles though but I definitely started to notice few fine lines around my eyes and forehead.  My policy is clear and simple: Natural alternatives to any chemical stuff. Origins answers these type of appeals. For my eveningskin care routine, I used many products from them and today I will be reviewing the Plantscription Anti-Aging Power Serum.

The Plantscription Anti-Aging Power Serum is made of 20 natural powerful plants. The Anogeissus is the main active ingredient along with crithmum, bamboo and pea. You can also check the complete ingredient list here. This serum is to reduce visible aging signs; fine lines and wrinkles mainly, to lift, firm and smooth the skin.

It has a gel like consistency that sinks easily into the skin, with a citrus smell that is quiet pleasant to me without leaving any oily or tacky residue. I’ve been using it for more than two months and my skin feels plump and soft with an addition of a radiant glow. Much better, I even noticed that my fine lines are less noticeable and my skin texture has improved particularly my sun spots.

The Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Power Serum has definitely took my skin to a complete new level. This serum doesn’t come cheap but I’ve got to say that it does what it claims and it did last the whole winter season for me, so I guess that it’s not too bad for an investment. I certainly recommend the Origins Plantscription Anti-Aging Power Serum.

Have a fabulous Sunday and thanks for stopping by!!
