Review: Bourjois Effet Smoky in Smoked Brown

Posted on
I know I often complain about the non-availability of certain brands in Italy but I can’t help it.
I just fell in love with this beautiful eye pencil Caise sent me and I wish I could buy every single shade available in the range.
We would be so happy together, I’d sharpen them when needed and make amazing (yes I’m slightly exaggerating)  smoky eyes with them.

NOTD: OPI My Pointe Exactly+HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE

Posted on
It’s my birthday, it’s my birthday!

Today’s post is about an OPI nailpolish called My Pointe Exactly, part of the NYC Ballet set.
I absolutely love this shade, a soft grey (could it be greige? I always wanted to have a greige nailpolish) that works with everything.
It takes three coats to look like this, with the first two it’s really too sheer.
I’m quite afraid it makes me look dead but I still love it.
Do you like this kind of color?

Books: The Adrian Mole Diaries

Posted on
The Adrian Mole Diaries by Sue Townsend.

Today’s post it’s not about a specific book but about a whole series of books, eight books to be specific.
In the pictures above you can see The Lost Diaries of Adrian Mole by Sue Townsend but I have every book that tells Adrian’s crazily normal  adventures.

Foundations and bla bla bla.

Posted on
Today’s post it’s kind of random, I hope you don’t mind.

Let’s talk about foundations!
My skincare routine seems to work, fingers crossed, and I’m quite happy with how my skin looks.
When I do my makeup I always do my eyes first and, when I’m done with them, I look at my face and I feel like there’s something missing.

Beauty Products NOT Worth The Hype

Posted on
Taking pics for this post was a total NIGHTMARE. My adorable little nephew decided that he had to play with my things, roll on the carpet and scream at the same time.

As you read in the title, today’s post it’s about beauty products not worth the hype.
There are only three products as you can see, considerably less than the beauty products that I consider worth the hype.
This has a quick explanation: I read tons of detailed reviews (much more detailed than the one I write actually) before spending my money so I pretty much know what I’m buying.
If you like detailed reviews I highly suggest you Dotted Around, I already know you’re going to love it.
So when I buy something I don’t like I usually didn’t read a review about it!
These products have been quite a disappointment, in different ways.

Review: MUA Lip Gloss Shade 5

Posted on
Here’s a lipgloss I won thanks to Hermosa’s contest!

It’s a MUA lipgloss and it’s the shade 5. It’s a beautiful light pink shade with gold glitters in it.
The glitters are not too big, you can’t feel them on your lips.
It has a fruity scent that I really like, it’s not too overwhelming.
It’s quite sticky but not too much, enough to last more than the blink of an eye but not too much to give that annoying feeling of glued lips.
I’m really liking MUA’s products so far and I really want to try out more stuff!
I’m going to London in January, I’m really happy about it so you’re going to hear me blabber about it for months, and I’ll surely buy something.
Any advice?

Review: Rimmel Glam’Eyes in Tribute

Posted on
These Rimmel eyeshadows have been a pleasant discovery.

I’ve already talked with you about Punchy Taupe and today I’ll talk about another shade, Tribute.
When I showed it to you in a haul post Sarah described it as a mauve-purple-taupe and I think it’s pretty much the perfect description. It has a shimmery finish but it’s not too sparkly.

Beauty Products Worth The Hype! pt. I aka I prodotti beauty che valgono un hype (sciopone)

Posted on
Here’s the first part of my personal selection of beauty products worth the hype!

I’d like to know if you agree with my choices, let me know in the comments your experiences with these products.
I’d link the reviews when available.
Let’s start!

Questo genere di post è molto famoso all’estero, in Italia non mi è sembrato di averlo visto.
Consiste nel parlare dei prodotti di cui si parla molto in positivo e che si meritano la loro fama.
Per conoscere l’origine del brillante titolo in italiano raggiungetemi su twitter con l’hashtag #ibbloggers.
Ovviamente la scelta dei prodotti si basa sull’esperienza personale, MA VA?, quindi sono curiosissima di sapere voi cosa ne pensate di questi prodotti.
Linkerò la review dei prodotti dove c’è, considerate che ce ne sono alcune davvero molto vecchie e con foto pietose, se ci fosse qualcosa che vi interessa particolarmente fatemelo sapere che vi faccio delle foto migliori.
Oggi vi mostro la prima parte di questo post, ho deciso di farne due come mi avete suggerito.
Stavo pensando di fare un terzo post con i prodotti di cui si parla molto e che non si meritano, secondo me, la loro fama.
Iniziamo!
