Review : Catrice Mono eyeshadows

Hello Beauties ! Today i will be reviewing the Catrice Mono Eyeshadows , there are some great products that i have tried from this brand one of them is the Made to stay cream shadows that i have already reviewed  Here their blushes are great too ! Let's hope on to the review :


First of all there is a very wide range of shades to choose from ; there is mattes to glittery to satin finishes . I ordered 4 shades :

- My first Cooperware party ( a nice coppery shade)
- Go, Charlie Brown ( a matte brown)
- C'mon Chameleon (a brown base with green reflections)
- Ultra violet ( a true violet leaning towards blue )



Pigmentation : Very pigmented when swatched and on the eyes

Longevity : For me this is the biggest Con that makes these products not worth it they don't last for more that an hour before creasing ; except for The Shade "Ultra Violet" which is the most long lasting one , and the Go Charlie brown Shade which was useless for my eyes so i decided to use it for my eyebrows and it works like a charm !

Blending : They Blend easily but they are a little bit powder-y

Finishes : They vary from Satin to Shimmer to Mattes

Texture : Very smooth

Fallout : Minimal

Packaging : Very Sturdy , and the fact that it is clear helps to detect easily the colors

Color selection : A very wide range of colors with different finishes




Have you tried these before  , Feel free to share your opinion !
Have a Magical Day :)

Review : Yves Rocher Pure Light Foundation

Hello Beauties ! i'm back with another review , recently i wanted to try a new foundation and get out of my comfort zone , since i have been using only my holy grail fit me foundation . So i decided to get the Pure light foundation from Yves Rocher i was looking for a luminous finish foundation, i actually came across some great reviews about the product before i purchased it .
So did i liked it or Not ? Let's hop on to the review to find out !

Pure Light Foundation Claims :

Its ultra-fresh light moisturizing texture is easy to apply uniformly. It provides maximum comfort for a sensation of no make-up and impeccable natural coverage. The skin's texture is visibly smoothed and the complexion is uniform.The skin breathes, the complexion is perfect, radiant and luminous.

Beauty bonus:Its practical elongated pump dispenser for a better grip

Key botanical ingredients:rice extract, cornflower water, soy extract, vitamin E.
Tested under dermatological control.



My Experience with the product :

First of all i ordered this foundation online when i got it the main thing that drew my attention is the Smell ! i was very unpleasantly surprised it has a very strong fragrance it reminded me of a nail polish remover so to me it looked a bit cheap after that my excitement was diminished because of the smell : I was very bumped about it since i have sensitive skin .

The second thing is it is described as a natural luminous foundation so you would expect it to have a dewy radiant finish , i have dry skin so i was really excited about that but unfortunately it accentuated the dryness that i have on my forehead and underneath my eyes as well as in the corner of my nose ( by the way i always moisturize and apply eye cream before applying my makeup) .

The third thing that i noticed is the finish it is not dewy at all , it a has a matte finish , the name is a little bit misleading ; the longevity though is quite decent  it lasts for a good amount of time on my skin . 

And the last thing that i want to mention in that it has a wide range of shades , my shade is Beige 200 fair complexion ,which is perfect for me , here is a swatch !


Let's hop on to the summary :


Pro's :

Decent coverage

Longevity

Large range of Shades

Would be perfect for combination/oily skin


Con's :

Fragrance

Misleading name since it has a matte finish instead of a dewy one

If you have dry skin you won't like it

Not moisturizing


I find that with my dry skin it does not suit me , as i  mentioned it accentuates my dry patches , the fragrance is a huge turn off for me , and i don't find the finish to be very natural you can definitely see that you are wearing foundation  ; over all i'm going to retry it during summer when the weather is more humid and i'll post an update .



        Have you tried this before ?Feel free to leave a comment .

Essence Makeup Products Review

Hello Beauties ! I'm back with another review , today i will be reviewing Essence's makeup products, these are the products that i currently own from the brand and i'm looking forward to get more ! So let's Jump to the review it may help you if you are new to the brand .

I have discovered Essence 2 years ago the first time that i tired products from it i bought a matte foundation and a concealer as well as a loose powder and i hated the three products , but this year i decided to give it another try as the brand revamped its collection and so i bought separately the following products : 



1- The first product is actually a powder brush , i got it in summer and i have been using it daily since then it's very soft , the hairs do not shade and the size is perfect , it is very versatile actually , when my other brushes are dirty i use it to apply my powder , bronzer and blush , you will not regret buying it, it's perfect and very affordable.

2- The second product is the palette , now i love a good smokey eye , dark colors are my favorite kind of colors when it comes to eyeshadows since they can have different uses . I was not  pleasantly surprised when i got this palette ,first of all the pigmentation is OK , most of the shadows are smooth to the touch except for two shades that i don't use because one is not pigmented and powdery which is the second shade from the right in second row and the second one is not my kind of color which is the turquoise color. 

3- Next is the lipstick and this product belongs to the long lasting lipstick collection , the shade that i have is "wear berries !" which is a cool toned berry color , the pigmentation is amazing , the color range is quite diversified , it is very moisturizing and easy to apply the one concern that i have with it is that is not very long lasting , it lasts on my lips for a few hours before it disappears after that i eat something .

4- Last but not least which is a product that i Highly Highly Highly recommend !!! This product is the Silky Touch blush and Oh My God ! These are by far the best blushes that i have ever used from the drugstore , this product has literally everything that you need in a blush , texture, pigmentation and application wise . It is true to its name the texture is very silky very pigmented a little bit goes a long way and the best part is that it is very long lasting , i have two shades "Life's Cherry" gorgeous day to day healthy pink and "Natural Beauty" which i use as a highlight actually i find that i will look gorgeous on a tanned skin .

5- The last product is the liquid ink eyeliner which i have already reviewed here .


PRODUCTS SWATCHED :

Liquid ink eyeliner, left to right : "Wear berries" lipstick , natural beauty and life's cherry blushes

Night club glamour palette

So as a conclusion i had a nice experience with the essence products , the products that i recommend the most are the Blushes , the eyeliner and the brush .

Welcoming 2015 Wholeheartedly !!

Another year went by , and i always get emotional when i'm about to say goodbye to a period of time and welcome another since it had a part of me and in some way it helped me to shape who i'm today .

2014 for me was a mix of everything Happiness ,Positivity , regrets , Hesitance , Success , Saying goodbye to a period of my life and welcoming another, achieving new goals and feeling proud of who i'm and of the little successes that i have made so far , being unsure about the future and what it might bring but the most important thing of them all is that i Grew up a bit more , i have accumulated more maturity and i have become more aware of what i want to do with my life and where i'm headed , i had the chance to rediscover myself and who i'm and be proud of that .

As much as 2014 was a difficult year for me as much as i'm grateful for those difficulties because through them and because of them i have become more aware of how strong i'm and i have learnt to silent the voice of "giving up" inside of me and hear only the voice of positvity and encouragement .

The end of 2014 was special for me because i have finally started blogging which is something that i have wanted to do for yeaaaaars but i never had the courage to do the first step until this year and i'm really proud of that , my blog is in it's beginning and it still needs more improvements but i'm very proud of the first step that i made and i'm going to pour my heart into making it better and better  each day 




So Here is to another year full  of challenges , of success of adventure i hope that this year will bring the best with it for me and you , I want to thank all of my current readers and everyone who took the time to comment on my posts and i want to thank my future readers for becoming a part of my little world.
Happy new year and i wish you all a Magical 2015 .
Much Love .
                                                                                         Hajar.
