L'Oreal Paris Extraordinary Oil Cream

A few days ago I went I got myself this daily face moisturizer because I didn't have one. It was originally 13€ but it was priced down to 6.50€ which is something I couldn't ignore.

I have quite soft skin naturally but using this definitely made a difference. The first time I used this was on the 2nd of August and on that day I was absolutely loving my skin.

I will be testing it during more before actually reviewing it but I can already say that I think this might become my new favourite thing!

One other thing that I absolutely love is the packaging, it is gold! Also the smell of this is quite different but a good different. It has essential oils in it - Lavender and Thyme - combined with White Jasmine so it smells like nature and trees in my opinion. But don't worry if you don't like the smell, once it is in your skin the scent disappears.

I'd really love to know what are your favourite face moisturizers, leave the names in the comments below.

My Makeup Story

Makeup is, in my opinion, one of the best things man kind has ever created!

Is it because I don't feel comfortable in my own bare face and I feel the need to cover it to feel pretty?
No, of course not! I've always felt comfortable bare faced.
Obviously, from time to time, I have those days when I don't like my skin because I have too many spots or my face looks too dry... Everyone has those days, even people who have an apparent flawless skin.

I think makeup is something you use to make you feel better, not because without it you won't feel good enough, but because it is something that enhances all of your beautiful features.

As you know I want to start putting out content that is beauty related and a good way for me to start is to let you know all about my makeup story. So if you'd like to know my story, you will have to go over to my channel soon to watch my video. But here are some key points...

I first started using makeup at the age of 12
My first lipstick was given to me on my birthday
Also on my birthday my aunt got me something big... oohh!
I made a terrible foundation mistake once
I only started doing my eyebrows at the age of 18
My favourite makeup items are lipsticks

Zoeva Makeup Brushes

I love makeup! I've loved makeup since I first starting watching Youtube videos, which was when I was about 12.
I've started buying makeup at that age but when you're that young you don't really know what you're doing - at least that was the case for me!
As the years went by and I started watching more and more beauty related videos, I started discovering new things, learning new things and falling more in love with makeup.

My passion for makeup has only grown since then and as I love it so much and I'd like to grow my collection, I decided to invest on a little set of brushes that are absolutely perfect.
The Zoeva Rose Golden Luxury Set, brushes of an immense beauty with a touch of "romantic copper" - as described on the Zoeva website.

I've not used them yet as they were only delivered at my house yesterday but I am eager to try them out!
Let me know in the comments below if you've got them and if so, tell me what you think!

Tangle Teezer Review

Tangle Teezers are really popular in the beauty community and so I wanted to get one for myself.
I had heard great things about it so that helped me to make the decision to buy it when I saw the price. I must say that it might have been a little bit expensive but it's something out of this world, my hair has never met such gentle brush.

My hair is quite difficult to deal with because it has mixed textures. Since I can remember it has always been really hard to detangle it because it tends to form tangles whenever it likes.
I never invested in a good hair brush until this past February when I got my hands on a Tangle Teezer. I must say that investing a little bit more in a good brush, even if it seems over-priced, pays off. In two months I have noticed that my hair feels healthier, my curls are coming back, it looks shiny and it's really easy to detangle. Never in a million years had I ever experienced easy detangling but now I have with this precious black object.

Tangle Teezers have my approval certificate!
If like me you are late to the Tangle Teezer hype and you are thinking about buying one, I suggest you do it because it is the best hair brush I've ever had.

New Year! New Hair!

I've been meaning to change my hair for a while but (1) I didn't have money to do with and (2) I wanted to let my hair grow a bit more before damaging it - as you know damaged hair is harder to grow.
So I have been looking at pictures of possible hair colours and cuts and I decided to combine them all together and post them here - my aim is that you reading give me your opinion on what colour and cut I should get.

Here are my choices of colour...

And here are my choices of cut...

Give me your opinions in the comment section below

I will talk to you soon, hopefully with new hair!

Take care xx

Beauty Wishes #1

I've decided to stop restraining myself from buying beauty things and makeup. I decided that if it makes me happy and I feel good about myself when buying and using these items, than I should have them!
At the moment I don't have enough money to buy loads but it's better to gain little by little than to gain nothing... I'm going to start to fulfill my beauty desires and these are the items I want to have first :)
