3 good reasons to adopt the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils of!

I remember that there are now just over three years, when I started to follow the American bloggers and youtubeuses I heard talk regularly Jumbo Eye Pencils NYX and I'd ordered more. I've never had the opportunity to talk to you in detail here so I'm enjoying the fact that I received recently selected colors: after not having used me for a while, they have me its belief in minutes! Here are three good reasons to adopt them!
1 / These are multi-function products: they can be the basis for eyelids and thus be covered with powder shadows. In this way, they also allow to get an idea of ​​the makeup that you want to achieve before you take action with powders. This also improves pigmentation, glare or brightness of shadows, which you may then apply. This especially works with the white color "Milk." Verve small demonstration with the eye of the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. Left alone I applied eyeshadow, right I applied a thin layer of Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk color:

The result is stunning!
You can also use it without securing them with makeup. The only condition: not to have oily eyelids. Indeed, I have normal eyes and this option works great! If this is not your case, you may not be convinced by this option because some colors may run in the palm of your eyelid. An example of makeup made 3 minutes with three jumbo eye pencils (Cottage Cheese in inner corner, Iced Mocha on the eyelid and outer corner Leopard Sparkle by mucosa and lower level of ras-lashes less):

Note that you can also use it as a pencil to color the bottom lining of your eye: their outfit will be even better if, once you fix them with eyeshadow but it is an option for which I opt very often because they are very pigmented mark of the few passages.
2 / The quality / price ratio: you can observe their excellent pigmentation within a few minutes but know they cost only € 5.49 the unit. Some colors are available on Amazon for € 5.06! They are available on many websites but if you want to order them in France, you can opt for the official e-shop brand on The Beautyst or on Amazon.
One small clarification: Think also to invest in a large size pencil tip if you do not have because you will need to prune!

3 / The wide selection of colors. 32 colors are available then you will be spoiled for choice! If you had it to recommend one, I would say without hesitation to choose the hue Milk is one of the few matte, creamy hues. It will allow you to intensify the pigmentation of your makeup and it is an excellent base eyeshadow!

I propose still a little overview and 10 shades swatches so you can get an idea of ​​pigmentation of these pencils!

Let's start from left to right by the famous 604 Milk (Milk), 608 Cottage Cheese (Cottage Cheese), 603 Pots & Pans (Pans), 618 Purple:

Then:

624A Rocky Mountain Green (Forest Green), 609 French Fries (Fries), 621A Pure Gold (Pure Gold) and 617 Iced Mocha (Mocha Iced)

And finally:

631 Leopard Sparkle (Sparkling Leopard) and 620 Bronze:



Here all I had to tell you about these "big pencil," I hope this review will have be useful and if you still have the ever tested, I hope your curiosity fanning

Blush healthy glow cream: Breezy Cheeks by ONE

Last weekend, I was presenting you the highlighter Becca reported US and in this review I was wearing one of blush that I will present to you today: that day, I just said that it was time to tell you about it because I tested for a while now! Indeed, the brand had sent me, together with the new Radiant Lips Balms (my review here) three new shades of Breezy Cheeks that are blushes hybrid "powder-cream" for a fresh complexion. As I explained in my previous review, I know very little brand because I'd never really even looked at his case but I have things to say about these new then blushes c 'left !
So far, eight colors were proposed for these blushes and the three that I present today come zoom range. I immediately noticed that it was summer shades as proposed sub-tones are quite "hot" and allow for a good complexion while warming a little face.
Here is what the brand says:

A 100% fresh complexion

A cream-powder blush that blends naturally with the skin to enhance the cheeks with transparency. Casting a creamy texture which is transformed into powder application and merges with the skin.

In these Breezy Cheeks include the organic beeswax and natural rice powder to avoid the "brilliant" effect or that may have some sticky creamy blushes.

I was quite surprised texture when I felt for the first time: it is in fact less than many melting creamy blushes and yet easily fee finger. The temperature of the skin allows precisely to melt a little the product to be able to remove pigments.

Brush, it's another story: it will "turn" the hairs in the product several times in order to cover the pigments. I suggest you take the product to the finger, drop it on the cheeks and then use your brush to melt everything. Indeed, with such products, the application to the fingers is suggested but I would not recommend if you wear foundation: you may move. I much prefer brush application.

Here are three new colors offered:

B07 is supported raspberry, slightly pulling brick.

B13 is probably the one that suits me the least because this is a pretty hot fishing which has orange sub-tones.

and finally, B18 is a nice sustained beige, neutral enough that can enhance the cheekbones very natural way!
Here as usual small swatches of B07, B13 and B18:

Brush, I think these blushes are fading very well without moving the work done previously on the complexion. Their finish is rather dull even if they do not "saddled face": the goal is to bring a healthy glow side! Once applied, it does not feel absolutely and do not migrate. Their dress is pretty good although I must admit that at the end of the day, the color fades anyway.

I am therefore convinced by their quality even though these blushes are not part of my favorites. In the photo above I carry the B07 color

For those seeking blushes at hyper clean composition (100% of ingredients are of natural origin and 10% of total ingredients are from organic farming), I suggest you look into their case. Only small downside: the price which still remains quite high: € 18.50. But knowing that a small amount is needed to make up two days, you do not will end any time soon! Besides, I think that when buying a blush, we know he will be with us for a while!

Repetto, floral water to feel as light as a ballerina

I must admit that for the item of the day, I was on the verge of pulling a coin. After a long hesitation, I finally opted for an article about a perfume that I wear a lot right now even if I also want to tell you about the perfume that I brought from New York (you could see here ) but I thought it was wiser to take the products in order of "discovery" because otherwise I'm doing more. No but I write an article a day (or almost) and I sometimes have the impression that this is not enough to tell you about everything I want, it's still the height! Anyway, today I return therefore present the Floral Water Repetto. A first for me as I had never tested the perfume brand and I must admit that my first encounter with fragrance Repetto "classic" did not leave me a great memory: I remember during ' a ballad in perfumery but found it too flowery for my taste too powdery. Rose notes were particularly exacerbated and it just was not a scent that was made for me.
When I received the deed III Repetto, the floral water, it is with a little a priori that I threw myself into his discovery. And then BAM, big surprise, I liked it from the first inspiration and I think it is the ideal fragrance for late summer and autumn to begin. You will say "calm down a bit you want, the end of summer does not arrive before a little over a month so leaves us enjoy it." Ouuuui I know but I can not wait to let the days when the heat is stifling particularly behind me I can not help thinking about it. And who says warmer weather also says you can wear perfume because when it's 30 degrees or more, it's not really what we want to do. You see, I have just shown you by A + B that the life of beauty addict is much more pleasant in autumn!

In 2013 Repetto therefore launched a fragrance inspired by the sensuality of the Stars Dancers and 2015 marks the exit of Eau Florale. An eau de toilette inspired by the light and delicate tulle worn them and the universe created around this new feature is absolutely gorgeous:

This is the Star Dancer Dorothée Gilbert that can be found in his dressing room, radiant and hoisted on spikes, surrounded by fresh bouquets of roses. My favorite flowers are peonies but I would not say no to dozens of beautiful bouquets of roses as nice in my living room! This photo is bubbly and evokes happiness, I find it perfectly illustrates this perfume.
Indeed, this new fragrance is bolder and definitely more sparkling than the classic perfume Repetto. The brand has abandoned the powdery notes to make room for a fruity fragrance / very fresh woody.
The bottle is a pretty dark and bright pink, laced with satin ribbons that bear a gold pink tassel making seal of office. The cap is curved and of course evokes the world of dance.
This fragrance opens with a refreshing whirlwind carried by fruity notes of grapefruit and plum blossom. Then the heart notes settle and release the charm of rose buds and bunches of violets. The bottom still allows him to bring this wooded side with notes of cedar and ambergris.

This composition was created by Juliette Karagueuzoglou (which I had never heard of, it is apparently the source of Signorina Salvatore Ferragamo and some Playboy perfumes) and Nicolas Beaulieu (I've met a Clinic evening since it is he who composed Aromatics in White! It was also exciting to hear him speak of the realization of the perfume but that's not the point)!
I find this perfume is delicate yet very cheerful and feminine. Rose notes emerge but are much more modern and grapefruit brings love at first boost in the morning. Her outfit is not great, a little retouching will be necessary in the late afternoon if you go out at night for example, but this is a fragrance that easily carries every day and which has seduced me!

Summer Party with Mavala on my lips!

Many of you already know: I work in a newspaper office, beauty center. It is also not a secret because if you take a look in the right column of the blog, you will see that it is in black and white. Obviously, when you work with many brands of cosmetics, discoveries are made. I have obviously not tested all office products and I work mostly by desires: when receiving the news, sometimes tempt me and some others less. I do not do the "favoritism" on the pretext that I am in daily contact with the teams of certain brands: I have enough things to show you and when I reported a product of the office is that m 'really intrigued. Last favorite to date, Lip Smacker watermelon collection of Chupa Chups! It seems that my love for make-up always pushes me to lip products because today I decided to present the collection Summer Party Mavala. And contrary to what you may think can immediately: no, it is not varnish since the brand offers a wide range of hyper cosmetics. We find there the care, makeup for eyes, lips, skin tone and of course the full range for the nails. The summer collection worth a visit and I'll tell you why!


You may recall that earlier this year, I had a huge crush on the Rouge Coco Shine Chanel. Since then, my collection has grown visibly and I still love it. I invite you to read my review about it if you do not know them! Why do I speak to you again? Because I noticed some commonalities between lipsticks texture of the collection Summer Party Mavala and these!

For this summer collection, Mavala has indeed developed a new translucent and luminous finish developed around 6 shades that play on the transparency of their pigments to enhance the lips while providing the glossy side without flakes (unlike some shades Rouge Coco Shine which they possess; Although this is not the case for all). The promise: a comfortable texture that does not dry and long-lasting.

I offer immediately a round-up of 6 colors before moving on to my opinion!
We start with my favorite color that can be worn every day and may even be without mirror: 613 Sweet Pink, soft pink, pretty pastel but absolutely no razzle-l'oeil unlike many roses "baby" .



Next is the # 614 Radiant Fuchsia, fuchsia with a hint of violet pigments:


The one I like least because I find her less natural satin finish and I have not really used to wear red to coral lip color but some perhaps enjoy! This is the 615 Pearly Coral:


A small swatch on the back of the hand of these three shades:

And then a beautiful deep pink, the 616 Brilliant Prune:


A nice bright and juicy red, Glossy Red 617:


And finally, the red lips of Princess Peach! The 618 Soft Peach

And the end of swatches:
Their texture reminded me definitely that of Coco Shine Reds in the sense that they are a bit "gelled" and that is by passing on the lips (and thus by warming) they release their pigments. Morality, I have seen no material effect and indeed, they absolutely do not dry out and remain very comfortable. Hand held, depending on the relevant color. The darker shades (614,616,617) take extremely well and pigments "are embedded" in the lips so even after eating, there is a colorful veil. However the softest tints do not really resist a meal as pigments tint less. Nevertheless, for red as comfortable, I find that their outfit is really good and a small intraday retouching do not mind!

This is definitely a collection that I advise you (and recommended!), The colors are super pretty, pleasant texture and this "bright but not bright" side is really superb! I think we can all easily find a shade that is appreciated and my two favorites are definitely 613 616 Brilliant Rose and Sweet Plum. I also really like the 617 Glossy Red is a red more "summery" and juicier! 

The new mascara Eyelashes Superstar L'Oreal: old school?

Last month, I presented the new mascara from Lancôme Hyponôse to wear (my review here)! In parallel, since this article I had the opportunity to test another innovation, this time it is the mascara Eyelashes Superstar L'Oréal! The latter is more affordable since it is sold € 16.90 on e-shop of the brand and you can surely find a better price in supermarkets! And be careful, do not aim primarily on the Sephora website to obtain it because its price is pumped up!

False Lashes mascara Superstar L'Oreal mascara is my mega old school. What for? Step 1 white mascara to lengthen and provide volume, step 2 black mascara. If you are from the same generation as me, I'm SURE you understand. At 12, I already pricked such mascaras story mom trying. She might even tell you that I had a time when I liked only apply the white mascara. And that's all. God thank you she never let me go out like that. (Mom, if you're reading this, thank you)
I am unable to give you the name of mascara in question ... I know she has long used the Lash Mascara XXL Gemey but it seems to me that there was a before this one ... My memory falters and as you find a mascara that from 2004 or 2005 on Google, it's like looking for a needle in my
handbag filled too, my eyeshadows drawer (or) a haystack.
So when I saw this "newness" of L'Oreal, it reminded me of good memories of little girl intrigued by the makeup of his mother and I said that sometimes major brands throw a look at the already released products and just decide to make the new with the old.
From memory, my mom often led to these mascaras "two steps" because it really stretched her eyelashes. Finally, today, we would be more likely to buy a mascara base + but the 2-in-1 side is very convenient. Especially since some databases can prove to be very disappointing, I invite you to (re) read my article on the basis Diorshow Maximize about it.
If the Lancôme mascara brush has a plastic pins, here there are two brushes in fiber. The first is fairly thin and elongated, it is covered with a white mascara:

The brand describes as a "corset" brush sleeve and thickens each lash to "build a volume." I was impressed by its ability to "grab" the eyelashes. It is a thousand times better than Dior basis that I mentioned above. Its advantage: it attaches quickly so I did not need to wait 10 minutes before moving on to Step 2!
And speaking of: step 2, black mascara of course because unlike what I thought at 12 years old, white eyelashes not JOLI.

This will brush is bent in order to once again cover every lash lengthening. Black mascara really is so it's a good point and it's pretty intriguing but when we look well what happens on this brush, we see that the texture is enriched with small dark fiber. Their goal? Lengthen again.
Here small pictures to illustrate your application:


For starters, the black mascara perfectly covers the white base and that's a good point.
I find that the record is very clean, without packages and eyelashes are definitely lying. For cons, the rendering is less "natural" than other mascara because when observing the tip of each eyelash, we note that the latter is refined: these small fibers in black mascara:

The texture is also more "dry" than the Lancôme mascara I mentioned last month but absolutely not feel so comfort is the rendezvous. The lashes are not weighed down and yet they are definitely lying.
My conclusion? This mascara is for me definitely old school and Oréal has invented nothing, that principle existed for years BUT its rendering is very pretty. It suits me perfectly because every day brings length + volume and wake up my eyes a few brush strokes. I find it best for short and normal eyelashes and I think his report on long eyelashes must be really impressive. Beware though, if you have very unruly eyelashes, it may not be enough to hold them in place or at least the way you want.
So I validate this and I advise you to test it if you have time, you may recall as for me, good memories!

The new range of Lancôme Hydra Zen

I have said in my video products recently completed: I had to change routine care because the products that I used to date are empty now! Remember, I had shown you in my video "routine care" and I speak particularly serum Elixir Ideal Payot, my Clinique Dramatically Different cream but also water micellar Uriage. I will buy this cleansing as soon as I pass a pharmacy because I loved it and although I greatly appreciate this routine, other products patiently waiting to be tested so I decided to incorporate into my new routine the beauty gasoline Lancôme Hydra Zen and the "serum-en-mask" mask night the same range. I test since my return to New York for a little more than three weeks (but not using ... Already? !!!) Then I return you present (although I may get back to you on video!
Why is it that I directed this new range to replace my old routine care? Well already because technically the Hydra Zen range of Lancôme has existed for 15 years and I've never had the opportunity to look into his case. And yet I have heard much about it! The two products that I present today are for their news: they invite to adopt new gestures, textures are innovative (and inspired by the Asian cosmetics) and are thought to soothe moisturize but above!
The promise? This beauty essence and serum in mask offer continuous hydration for 24 hours and above all, immediate comfort (counting especially on the soothing coolness of textures).

Let's start with the Beauty Essence Hydra Zen: as you may already know, I have sensitive skin, reactive and prone to dryness. It becomes dehydrated very easily and when I started to get interested in this moisturizing essence I was afraid that it is too light for my skin. Its texture precisely, let's talk. This is a very frozen liquid which turns into water in a trice. Just file a hazelnut on the skin so that it becomes completely liquid. Not only is it beautiful to look at and very surprising in the bottle but when we move to the application, it can easily be confused. What is it? A serum? A light hydratatant? A powerful hydratatant on which may, despite its lightness replace a day cream? It depends on your skin!

Let me explain the scope of this ritual is truly unique and even if such products are apparently already in Asia, I had never tested before! Just drop the hollow of the palm of his hand two small knobs of this essence, pressing their hands to "break" the water jelly to transform it into refreshing water. Once this is done, it must be through the palms of the hand, making small pressure on the face to penetrate the product. This is a delicate ritual, no "friction" is at stake and so it moisturizes the skin without irritating or blush. The brand also advises small to exert pressure with your fingertips, forehead to the neck for optimal penetration and extra comfort. This ritual is repeated 3 times.

So I followed the advice from the start of use of the product but the concept of "3 times" I was a little disturbed: I was not sure that it is really necessary. One thing is certain: one time it is not enough. My skin looks dry drink the product immediately and wanting more. 2 times, it is the perfect right now: my skin is not too dehydrated and do not taut so that's what I do every morning but also every evening. I think that indeed, when the temperatures will start to fall, a third application may be useful. So you understand why I explained that the use of this product depends on your skin type: it can suit everyone but it is especially effective if you have sensitive skin / dehydrated. Oily skin also be appreciated because let's not forget that hydration is essential (even if you "shine"!) And knowing that this product penetrates very quickly (without leaving greasy or sticky), you might quickly pass its very watery texture.

This is an alternative dosage that one knows only too well (creams, gels, balms) and even though I was pretty retissante at first use, it is ultimately a product that I have adopted pleased once I found he brought sufficient hydration (for this time of year - I'll let you know when the fall will be installed) and this application is really nice ritual and de-stressing. Knowing that this "water" almost-instantly absorbed -or one can wear makeup and directly after that, it is very convenient in the morning!
For information, this beauty essence is enriched with active and moisturizing agents (thrush root, extracts of rose, jasmine, peony, cocoa and moringa seeds) for skin soothed. For those who are very particular about the composition of their care, know all the same that this product contains PEGs and alcohol. I think by that against the price / quality ratio is excellent since it is a 200ml bottle!

Link: Beauty Essence Hydra Zen - Lancôme: € 41.50 200ml

Now on to the Hydra Zen mask, which also has a hybrid texture serum / mask this time! This product is presented in a pretty pot and it's a detail but I find particularly successful cap!

This mask was designed to reduce the signs of fatigue and stress accumulated on the skin. The brand promises intense Nutrition: + 40% moisturization 4 hours after application.
Its texture is again very surprising because I naturally find very cool and easy to apply.

This "frozen" thick substance on the skin and I use it once or twice a week depending on the needs of the latter.

What is rather surprising is that very quickly, and as for Gasoline beauty besides, the product penetrates and gradually, it remains only a "veil" jelly on the skin. The product itself does not stick and is not fat but I feel still a bit when I pass my fingers over my face.
I love the relaxing and yet delicate brand range, I understand inspiration "Asian ritual care" Impressions: it is a pleasure to apply these two products.
As the name suggests, it is a night so we put the mask at night, we wait a little it penetrates (I would say 15 minutes is required) and then file it in bed The next morning, no need to take out the cotton to try to remove the excess material, there will be none! Besides wake up, I find that my skin is plumper than usual but I prefer to wash my face as I usually do my makeup to avoid over care product residues. In fact, when one decides to use the Beauty Essence as a daily moisturizer, this mask is ideal to bring a shot of extra hydration to the skin. Is it essential? No, you may well not to adopt this gesture and you stick with this amazing water jelly. By cons, if it tempts you, remember that it is a skincare product that is very successful and I use because I'm a little bit lazy and I love the night care who act while I rest !
For information, there still found once peony extracts, cocoa, moringa and pink. Warning, it contains silicones so I would not recommend it to those who do not respond well to this type of ingredients.
