More highlighter…more…MORE!!!
I picked up this Essence blush from their summer collection, really looking for a bright summer color. To use one I (hopefully) get a tan.
This blush wasn’t was a disappointment in that department. And I think I’ll use my Sleek blush instead. The color pigment, for me, just doesn’t do it.
Disappointing NYX product
Review: NYX Mosaic Powder Blush

True Match Crayon Concealer
I’ve been testing out a new concealer from L’Oreal Paris these last few weeks.
It’s the crayon concealer.

I’ve tried a few e.l.f products before but haven’t really gone back and got some more after that. The products I tried weren’t bad but obviously they weren’t great either. So when a friend, who likes makeup a lot, told me I had to try these three products I made the order right away. They just arrived a few days ago and I’ve only tried them twice but I must say, so far, I’m impressed! Especially by the mascara. I’ve been using the L’Oreal Miss Manga mascara for years and it will always be my go-to but this one does what it says it’s supposed to. Because I’m used to the brush of the L’Oreal mascara this one was a bit tricky to use for me but it did make my lashes a bit longer and definitely did curl them. I’ll keep it in my makeup bag as a backup.
Do you have any holy grail products that I should try?
Rave: Lumene CC cream
Ladies, I’m here to rave about a product that I’ve fallen in love with.
Only a few days ago I received a Lumene CC Cream as a gift with purchase. Lumene is a brand I’m familiar with, I’ve used their foundation before. If I’m not mistaken it is a Finish brand. But, I had never tried a CC Cream before. I was gonna get the Vichy BB cream because I heard AsciaAKF rave about it on Snapchat and because I’m familiar with BB Creams. But since I tried the Lumene CC Cream I’m hooked. I don’t like a full coverage foundation nor do I really need it therefore I tend to like the light and water-based ones with a naked finish. I’m all about the natural no makeup, makeup look. That’s why a BB or CC cream suits me just fine. I only wear a full coverage foundation if I’m going to special function, like a wedding. All other times I’m fine with something much more light.
After trying this Lumene one, I don’t think I need any other BB or CC Cream because this one does it all for me. Although I would like to try the Vichy BB Cream just to see if it’s worth the hype. But, that’s gonna have to wait, I’ve just upgraded bits and pieces of my makeup, including foundation.
Let me know if you’ve tried the Vichy BB cream, I wanna know what you think!
Bahama mama
A few days ago I wrote THIS post about the Balm and also asking for tips on a bronzer. Someone suggested I try the Bahama mama bronzer from the Balm.
Of course, I had to pick it up. Because just as I mentioned I dropped my Laguna bronzer from Nars and it broke.
I only got the bronzer yesterday so today is my first time using it and I like it. On the first try it’s not as good as Laguna but it’s still good. I feel that the Bahama mama is a bit darker.
I was also on the hunt for a good highlighter, mostly in a contour palette but since I’ve heard a lot about the Mary-Lou Manizer highlighter also from The Balm I got that as well.
Since I was only going to the office today I didn’t need any highlighter I didn’t use it but I will this weekend and I’ll let you know what I think!

Christma gift
A girl named Sanna, from Lyko.se, a swedish beauty online store, contacted me to send me makeup from a brand I’ve never heard of before. It’s called MIYO and it’s a swedish brand founded in 2012.
Like I mentioned I had never heard of the brand before so of course I had to google it. Didn’t find much on it at all. Only a Facebook page and that MIYO stands for; My Identity, Yourfully Original.
As it is Christmas Eve and we are going to a party tonight I will try all the products and will let you know what I think of it in a post in the new few days.
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you’re all with your loved ones this holiday season.
