The Body Shop haul


Ah, online shopping! It is my joy and my curse, especially when there are discounts. This is what happened when I went browsing on The Body Shop webshop and found a "2nd for half price" discount on all skincare and makeup! I couldn't resist and placed quite an order with many little pieces I wanted to try for a while.

Vitamin E Overnight Serum-in-oil: this new evening serum is really interesting and is supposed to give you hydration overnight.

Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing butter: I have always wanted to try the balm cleanser-muslin cloth combination because it is said to be the most effective and thorough cleansing method and this cleansing butter had good reviews in the blogger world.
Vitamin E Sink in Moisture Mask: I own many clay-based and purifying masks, but my combination skin needs some deep hydration and I like to pamper it with moisturizing masks once in a while. 

Seaweed Pore Cleansing Facial Exfoliator: this exfoliator uses seaweed extract to exfoliate, rebalance your natural oil and refresh the skin. I'm curious to try it!!

Tea Tree Pore Minimiser: this is a primer based on tea tree oil which will "smooth, prime and mattify, leaving the skin feeling fresh and pure". 

Strawberry Lip Balm: as a bonus this little pot of divine-smelling lip balm came as a gift with my order.

I am really excited to try all these new skin care products and reviews will come soon!!!

What is your favorite The Body Shop products? Any suggestion?

Nabla Skin Glazing and Skin Bronzing swatches

Image
 Since their first release last year, the Nabla Cosmetics Skin Glazing formula has been my favorite highlighter and luminous blush formula in my collection. When they released the two new Skin Glazing blushes together with the new Skin Bronzing range in Summer 2020, I couldn’t resist. Check out the video of me trying them out back when they released. The original Nabla Skin Glazing formula is a thin, finely milled luminous powder that feels very firm and hard pressed in the pan. These are not powders with immediate high pigmentation, but rather ultra thin washes of color and light that melt in the skin, giving a lit from within glow. This still holds for the new Skin Bronzing powders. The new shades of Skin Glazing blushes instead are less luminous than the original Truth and Adults Only, and they are more pigmented. I still like the formula very much, but I am not a fan of of the fact that both new shades are pinks. Nabla Skin Glazing Lola The new Nabla Skin Glazing Lola is a pinky co

So here's me doing what I love most: diving into my single eyeshadow collection and finding Natasha Denona Circo Loco palette dupes. If you're up to hear me blab about it, check out the Youtube video below.

The Color Analysis Wars Part 1: introduction and ambivalent reds

Image
Welcome to the first of The Color Analysis Wars! In this series in collaboration with Fran from Being Cute is not a Crime , we will explore some principles of Colour Analysis by comparing lipsticks on ourselves. If your are new to the concept of Seasonal Color Analysis, I will add here a piece written by Rachel at Truth is Beauty : Start by understanding that every part of your natural coloring is in harmony with every other part. Your eyes, skin and true hair color all complement each other perfectly, exactly as they are. To look your most beautiful, you don't need to color your hair. You don't need to wear expensive makeup or expensive clothes.   You only need to identify the palette of colors that harmonizes perfectly with the colors that are already in you. The natural palette of your body harmonizes with one of 12 palettes that differ in warmth ,  chroma (brightness),  and value (lightness). We call these different palettes seasons.
